Kagawa10: The economy was already growing by 6% before it touched the $50 in 2004 so it had nothing to do with crude oil price hitting $110. The primary reason was better economic policies. If the same policies Buhari introduced in 2015 were introduced when oil prices were $110 it would have led to capital flight as it would have screamed that an economic illiterate was in charge of the economy! It would also slow down growth to from 7% to no more than 3- 4%. The primary reason why the economy entered a recession was the exchange control policies which Buhari introduced and scrapping the floating exchange policy he inherited. He had no right to even dictate the forex policy of the country but the submissive Emefiele did not assert the independence of the Central Bank from political meddling. Lamido Sanusi a former CBN governor condcemned these policies and urged his ministers to talk truth to power (Rather than talk behind his back like Amaechi). Most of his advisors knew these policies weren't working but did not have good sense to speak out. Canada's economy only suffered economic decline for only 2 consecutive quarters which is the official definition of a recession. I just checked the records. The economy had a serious decline in growth rates but still the economy isn't as weak as one would expect despite a shrinking of the manufacturing sector from 18% to 10% of GDP at the height of oil price boom. Nigeria suffered economic decline for 6 consecutive quarters! Also note that Canada is a developed country so a growth rate of 3% is very good. Growth rates of more than 4% is simply too high and will spell overheating. For a poor economy however, 3% is poor and 8% quite good and with 9-11% very good, even though countries may even do better than that but it rarely last more than a year. Presently growth rate in Canada hovers around 0.7% yearly. A slowdown isn't as injurious to Canada because it enjoyed the commodities boom for far too long so some slowdown won't be bad as the economy reshapes and eventually rebounds. 2 Likes |

Talking trash as usual, huh? they are buying ? Fuckeduppedness! Who and what exactly are “they” buying? Ghana is not offering anything for sale, so how and what are “they buying ?* this is most ludiculous statement I’ve heard from a nigerian first, what is Ghana “selling” and what are “they” buying? Fuckeduppedness answer this simple question and then I will tell you what I know. Ghana is owing you money for gas? and you think when you stop supplying gas to Ghana the country will “shut” down? How old are you? You sound like a 10-year-old. How much gas is your country currently supplying to Ghana? Do you know? Do you know how much gas Ghana as country produces in Ghana for its domestic consumption at the moment? When you answer, then I will educate you further Fuckeduppedness mekaboy: |

grandstar: What's this one even saying? Lol. Can you hear yourself at all? Canada is a developed country yet suffered recession but you expect a developing country as Nigeria whose economy is oil dependent especially at a time oil is selling at a low rate, not to be in recession? Are you sane at all? I repeat if your stupid Jonathan hadn't looted us dry at a time oil was selling at $110 rate, if he had saved more as well as constructed major infrastructures, we wouldn't be suffering at this time oil is selling at $50 rate. Despite earning 60% less than the previous regime, this admnistration has come up with several social, agricultural and infrastructural projects. Look at Lagos-Ibadan road and other roads being constructed, our new railway lines, new rice mills, cheap fertilizer production, Npower social schemes, tradermoni etc yet you expect us to vote in a useless party that destroyed our economy again? Atiku, neva again. |

Re: Ghana Overtakes Nigeria In Foreign Investment by Kagawa10: 10:09am On Jan 25, 2019 |
mekaboy:Wetin this one dey talk sef? Lol. In fact, you're simply saying a company who specialise in making bottle water woud make more profit than in Nigeria when you take in cognizance the low cost of production due to cheap electricity and good roads in ghana coupled with high sales generated due to increase in price. You're simply saying I can easily go to Ghana to open a water company, make good amount of money and send home to my people in Nigeria whose naira to dollar/cedis rate is at poverty level. After seeing this, why won't investors priortise Ghana than Nigeria? You can't be pdp and be sane! |

Kagawa10: Chai! Any man who can defend Buhari can defend the devil. In fact, to be an APC member, one has to lose his reasoning. Where you not here when Bill Gate, IMF faulted the economic template of Buhari? Wait... Let me help your brain. Buhari couldn't stop the free fall of Naira till it got to N500 to a Dollar, but the moment he stay clear in London hospital, Osibanjo restored it to 360 and it is still there till now. He's highly incompetent. |

Kagawa10: I am telling you 1+1 = 2 and you're insulting me. Imagine Chevron sells $1b to the CBN and the foriegn reserves increases by $1b. Or Chevron sells $10b to the CBN over a year, does that mean that the $10b belongs to the FG? Tomorrow, Dangote says he needs $1b to import refinery machinery, that reduces the reserves by a $1b. The foreign reserves isn't money belonging to the FG. Soludo said that when OBJ was in power,. the Naira was kept undervalued so that demand for dollars was subdued which led to the reserves hitting $60b. So dollars was entering the reserves than was leaving it. However, Jonathan's increase of workers for 5,500 to 18,000 led to a massive increase in demand for goods especially imported goods. This was one of the primary reasons why the reserves fell. Also sometime between 2011 and 2014, the Naira became overvalued and that led to high demand for forex. The IMF urged that the Naira be devalued but the CBN refused to listen. An overvalued exchange rate increases demands for import and forex while a devalued currency reduces imports, encourages exports and increase in the reserves. The CBN refused to listen to the IMF and blew $20b defending the overvalued exchange rate. 1 Like |

Kagawa10: Why do American companies choose to produce in China? Don't they have good roads in America or power? Have you considered the cost of transport when fuel is twice the price in ghana? And will you prefer to sell your water to 20 million people at 5 naira or 200 million people at 3.50 when cost of production 2 naira? You know nothing about investment. |
Re: Ghana Overtakes Nigeria In Foreign Investment by Kagawa10: 11:52am On Jan 25, 2019 |
mekaboy: Lol. You don't know of something called dense and over saturated? The americans were simply spreading out due to the oversaturation in America. Fact is they can still make enough profit in far away country in China due to China's foreign exchange rate and low cost of production. More so, China is quite conducive for them. That aside, Ghana has a fixed transport fares and the availability of good roads makes it easy to reach every nooks and crany to market your goods. Try to apply sense abegi. |

At the end of production the primary objective is to reach as many people as possible.

We are talking reality and you are sending me crap? Such stvpidity I asked you very simple questions and you couldn’t provide answers? can you tell me the volume of gas Nigeria currently supplies to Ghana? What volume of gas is Ghana currently getting from its own gas field for its own use? Do you know? If you don’t know, tell me and I will educate you,huh? Few weeks ago, your oil minister Ibe Kachikwu was telling the world that Nigeria will now focus on the African market to sell its oil, because the traditional buyers of your oil have abandoned you. But these days, almost every African country has discovered oil and gas soon, you will be begging African countries to buy your oil and pay when they feel like or will you shove oil into your stinking, dirty azzes? FYI, Ghana currently produces more than 300MMscf/day from its own three oil and gas fields and more than 200,000bpd of crude. The gas supply from Nigeria averages 60mmscf/d Don’t send me any stvpid link,huh? I’m in the oil and gas industry so don’t bring your crappy nonsense to me,huh?
