what exactly did buhari go to japan to do.

To snap picture. Government of photography. What a shame.

Reference:


Then smuggling will go through the roof. Maybe better for those who see the civil service as their inheritance since the Customs Service will have to recruit enough people to form a human chain round Nigeria. That is not the solution.

When you face an unmovable force the only way to avoid being crushed is not to build a useless wall but to create a pressure equilibrium, an equal and opposite force. I tell you how.

Find another automaker that can rival Toyota and give them a deal they cannot refuse. While the two giants fight each other on the west coast you make your indigenous makers your top priority. Like I said days ago. Every cutting edge industrialist should be on speed dial to Mr. President day and night. And as a President you should have them in a cluster meeting every month for synergy and strategic objectivity .

Exactly how Trump went about it.

Simplyleo:

Photoshopping, meaning he is not in Japan but wants us to think he is

Yet hiding from unarmed protesters, presumably in Japan.

You need to recharge

You need to be very ashamed of yourself all you saw to talk about in this post is IPOB. Why did buhari fail to bring this project that can produce employment for ppl like you? Answer is dead men don't talk.

This is definitely sound.
Invite BMW or Volkswagen and give them a 10 year tax break and first choice access to the biggest market on the Continent.
Maybe even a dedicated power supply from the national grid at dirt cheap rate.

But I don't think buhari is thinking that far.

We are smarter than our president and it is a problem.

Ghana, the real giant of Africa

I think someting is pathologically wrong with Nigeria . Nothing survives here.
Pegout in Kaduna. Volkswagen in Lagos . Mitchellin Tyre Odutola Tyre Dunlop Tyre,Sony radio and TV inIbadan Exide battery leyland motor and host of others gone and Ghana to have life long establishment of Toyota plant. Soon we shall be importing new cars from Ghana

That's what real leaders of countries accomplish for their citizens...bring foreign investments that would create jobs for them. Not in Nigeria, the ones in power are clueless and busy stuffing their pockets with the nations treasuries and have no time to actually work for the people. I have one question for all the sycophants and Buhari apologists on this forum, could you name any people-oriented program enacted to help create jobs for the so many unemployed Nigerians since Buhari administration started? Absolutely NONE! So, how can you come on here and scream on top of your lungs touting the success of this government?

I think it is about time that Nigerians focus more and assess a government's success or lack thereof based on the programs that it puts in place to help the citizens and not on the ethnicity. It would be out of norm and character for any citizen living in abject poverty to vote gainst his/her self interest. Rich folks would never do that but you can always count on poor people to support a leader who is out to impoverish them simply because they are of the same ethnicity. Let me remind you that a poor man from one ethnic group has more in common with a poor man of different ethnicity; than he has with a rich fellow from his ethnic group.

There's nothing for a poor man to gain from a bad leader from the same ethnicity other than the fact that both come from the same area, which really does not provide a roof over his head, put food on his table or send his children to school. Nigerians should view this dichotomy as the poor versus the rich and not any other way. Not until the poor masses unite to fight against the filthy rich crooks, things would never change because they would always use ethnicity as a wedge to divide the people in order to maintain the status quo.

Meanwhile our president is busy photoshopping, taking selfies and hiding from unarmed protesters

Don't forget we have Innoson as our own indigenous manufacturer that's needs to be patronized, its not gonna be fair if he brings Toyota down while advocating for local consumption

What can we do to remain as the giant of Africa?

TSRC:

Unfortunate he is going to be endorsing our next.president when we should be running away from any thing buhari.

In 2023, the first criteria we should be looking for in a camdidate is how can you create jobs, attract investment and rejuvenate the economy.
The person must have no track records of theft or criminality, but our priority should be economic competence.
We don't need someone that would leave their shop and be chasing thief.

the reason i followed atiku irrespective of his past was because of obi he is a great businees man .. i believe he could have change the economic of the country for goog..

toyota put there plant in ghana targating nigerian market is that not pain full enough


imagine the job we just lost

This is where you need a president like Trump:
Locate your plant in Nigeria or Toyota cars are banned . How can Toyota think locating their plant in Ghana is better than Nigeria (with our population and craze for anything Toyota)? Men, that is a hot slap on our leaders and the over 200 million Nigeria. Ghana is just 30million people. Who has bewitched us?

JimohMomoh:
I think stable electricity and better security attracted them to Ghana

nah, it is more of aggressive Goverment campaign and favourable buisness policy. At the end of the day. the target market is Nigeria.

You are not going to.suddenly start patronizing innoson.
Let's not kid.ourselves.
We would keep importing instead of patronizing innoson.
If the Toyota plants was in Nigeria at least we would know the Jobs and foreign revenues remains here.

As citizens of a nation we should begin to educate ourselves on the specifics of what had made us poor and backwards for decades and the immediate steps we need to take to get us out of problems. Any nation facing what we have seen today will be angry, mad that investment is going to a competing neighbour. We need to start getting angry about the right things to progress.

Nigeria has upheld the continents economy for long. We have supported the biggest multinationals with a large, viable, profitable opportunity despite our poverty. Every sector from banking, to retail, to telecommunications has Nigeria as their biggest market, yet when it comes to the cream of the crop, the real economic multiplier, manufacturing, they prefer to go somewhere else.

It is sad and vexing. Are we a universal toilet, a dumping ground, a use and dump country... Nigerians should realise that no matter how fancy a village market, supermarket or hyper market is, no one sleeps there at the end of the day. Everyone GOES HOME. We cannot prosper being satsified as the market of Africa or the world. We cannot prosper with import/export & general merchandise plc, shop, shop, shop...or ABC & Sons trading company.

Hmmm

The dollard and his entourage should be stone on return



Useless leadership. Travelled that far to achieve nothing

That is great . Happy to hear that

TSRC:

Guy shut up.
You are talking nonsense. If Nigerians patronize Toyota and govt patronize innoson, is it not a win-win?

The fact that you actually believe innoson is.in buhari's mind shows the level of delusion.

Abokii.
Turned our beloved country into a shitt-hole.

Bros, youre the delusional one here. You just are incapable of accepting the truth, that is why power continues to evade you and all you can do is cry and whine all day long, period. You are addicted to lies, you will not accept the truth as the truth even if it is glaring in your eyes, you will still blame the govt or a northerner for it. Lesson for you bro, Ojukwu after all his mouth and promise of chukwu Okike Abiama on their side helping them ran away at the end, the same Shagari that you insult as illiterate pardoned him before he can return to Nigeria. You insulted the "Aboki" while living and making your livelihood in northern Nigeria, sang songs of hate and superiority, then claimed you were massacred in numbers. Your hate will only continue to do you harm, but you dont even know it. Continue.........

gabicon:
we need to think deeply about these things. It will be foolish for Toyota to setup an assembly plant in Nigeria because Nigeria does have a market for new automobile. let's analyze it, in Japan, USA, UK, Germany etc, a graduate who gets his first job can afford to buy a new car via a flexible payment plan. We don't have such a system in Nigeria, instead the likes of Coscharis, Innoson, and Nissan that assemble cars in Nigeria have to depend on banks, a few companies, government purchase via civil service, security agency, and MDA's to survive. Toyota coming to Nigeria will simply mean that they are here to compete for government purchases it simply doesn't make any business sense. And before we point fingers at Buhari, this trend has been in play for more than 20years, Nigeria has a huge population with low purchasing power that can't afford new vehicles.

Unfortunately, you are making zero economic sense with this statement of yours. I guess you are trying to shift blame from lame buhari by saying this trend started 20years ago. Do you know the cost of shipping a new or used car from overseas to nigeria? Do you know the cost, corruption and other unnecessary delays just a clear that car from our ports? Now if the said car is assembled in Nigeria, all of those cost won't be payed by the end user.making the said car more affordable. Individually, Nigerians are more than capable in buying new card in as much as the prices are not inflated due to external factors.

Japan organized TICAD to help African countries with funds, technical support and an avenue for Businessmen on the continent to network with theirs.
Rwanda, Botswana, even Lesotho went with several young entrepreneurs.
Nigeria went with old civil servants carrying Buhari’s bag.

You see again, you think you're superior to an aboki abi? lol, aboki, that you termed partially evolved savages are your leaders and your ruler, get back in line, nyamiriii. Also, by the way, how come your Ibo governed states with fellow Ibo Governors, with federal allocations, you have not turned it into London and Dubai? How come? Is Aboki responsible for running your states as well? Turn Onitsha or Enugu or Aba into London or Dubai for all to see, then maybe we will believe your big mouth and your claim of ingenuity.

With each passing day, I become more and more convinced that this country is heading for serious catastrophe. No FDI coming in, population ballooning out of control, infrastructure decaying terribly, insecurity at same level with war torn countries. No single good news about the country. God knows I'm seriously considering selling off my assets and leaving this sh! thole for good. Nigeria will definitely face serious crises in the coming years and I pray to God not to be anywhere close to it by then.
Cursed nation of mad people!!!
