GenBuhari:This was in 2008 by then OBJ was no longer the president so third term saga was no longer an issue. Do not forget that oil went for $140/barrel. GenBuhari:Countries with large foreign are seen by international investors as investors haven. At the time that we had up to $50bn, we had many companies coming mostly for the banks. After the global melt in 2008, the reserve nose dived and most investors fled. That affected the likes of intercontinental bank that had so much foreign investment. Foreign reserve size is one of the indices that is looked into by foreign investors. Nigeria had enough money in recent years to provide social amenities. They provided some and left huge amount unattended to. We still have but somehow the money finds its way into private pockets. This your 24%to 4%, abi we never talk am finish before? BTW 1.5 years is equal to 18 months, Buhari was there for 20 months. |

agabaI23: It is either you are a poor student of economics or you simply don't have a clue about international investment. It is terribly delusional for any sane mind to conclude that foreign reserve is a major factor for attracting FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) into a nation. Ghana, Rwanda and a host of other countries which have finally been able to get their economic perspectives right have far external reserves far less than Nigeria, yet these countries enjoy continued and increasing FDI. Your foreign reserve plays a minimal role in attracting investors. A stable economy, with good social amenities (roads, healthcare, power, security) and relatively stable and virile political atmosphere are the major factors which are appealing for FDIs to flow into the country. Unfortunately we do not have any of such primary incentives. FDIs shy away from corrupt nation regardless of the value of your foreign reserve. Ghana's foreign reserves today is most likely under $5 billion (see the figures for end of 2009 in the link below), yet investors (including Nigerians) are trouping into the company to invest. Why? It's simple, Ghana is politically stable, the http://business.peacefmonline.com/economy/201002/38082.php I have told you in previous threads that lying will not take you anywhere as you'll be exposed over and over again.

9ijaMan: You either did not see where I said it is one of the indices considered or may be you chose to ignore it. Calling of names and aggression will not win you any argument but it can only activate an iggy button if it goes to extreme. My posts kind of brings out the violence in you which also preach with you oga. Calm down, you will be able o read better and reason better. |

There you go lying again. Your comments did not make mention of "one of the indices". As usual when caught pants down you resort to justifying your myopic stance. If pointing out clear cut lies and deception makes you feel uneasy, I'll advice you desist from attempting to deceive people with your lies and deceptions. Remember that you can edit your original posts but will not be able to edit the comments quoted from you by others who comment. You tried to deceptively hinge influx of FDI on external reserves and I pointed your deception only for you to start whining about being bullied. If you have no knowledge about economic issues, you'll do us all a lot of good by not attempting to us your lack of understanding to deceive others. Just as I've told you in the past, your knowledge in economics is at best shallow even if you have a degree in finance and or economics. You cannot fool everyone on NL, as you do not have the faintest idea the educational, social and religious background of members on this forum. Once again, I'll advice you to do your homework well before you come out here to post jargon in your lame bid to defend GEJ and the PDP gangsters. 1 Like |

How can you not have the basics (electricity, security, health ,water) and yet claim to have amassed $50bn in foriegn reserves?. Only in Nigeria that facts like this gets turned upside down. Some Nigerians will never see the point and argue blindly. It's a Nigerian mentality to give N300,000 party spree and the next day borrow N20 for a bus ride to work. You have $50bn in Foreign Reserve but people are using toilet in the bush and sleep in darkness all nite long, and no water to bath properly after sweating all nite long. You think, Nigerian people, by now-2011, will demand their Govt. to take the $50bn and create one good liveable State to show their way of thinking is in the right track. NO, instead they ride their new latest BMW in potholes roads, while the poor paise them by shouting Baba Sir, give us something for food. He throws a few Naira into the crowd and say, make sure you Vote for me in the coming election, okay. YES SIR, NA GO DEY BABA. |

tara2: My brother help me ask that agabaI23 guy o! The guy keeps harping on foreign reserve as a prerequisite for FDI when there is dearth of social amenities. If we like we can increase our foreign reserve to $500 billion, no sane investor will come to Nigeria with the high level of insecurity, and the absence of basic social amenities. @agabaI23, I will admit to have missed your "one of the indices" comment, but I still maintain that foreign reserve has very little effect, if any, oon how investors will view Nigeria. Isn't it shameful that with Nigeria's external reserves almost 12 times what Ghana had soem years ago, Ghana still attracted more FDIs than Nigeria did. Stop the delusion and deceptive argument. Go back to your economics class and listen attentively to your teachers. |

9ijaMan:Now having accepted that you made a mistake, should I call you a lair, deluded, deceptive, unintelligent? No I will not because I know that even computer programmes are prone to error. I will excuse you because your zeal for Buhari can only be matched with that of BEAF for GEJ. BTW that you cannot face my point head on does not make it deceptive. I argue when I have point to put across if I do not have a valid contrary opinion, I do accept your point of keep quiet. You do not have to be me but calm down, it is only an election except you are OBJ that declared that an elections is a do or die affair. |

agabaI23:I am not the type who would fail to admit my mistake or misdeed. I'd rather admit my errors thna attempt to cover up lies with other multiple lies, like you've always done. No one has asked you to stop airing your opinion about issues, the problem is that you often lie and are deceptive in your posts. If you must make make comments on economic issues, you need to firstly state the facts and then you can air your opinion afterwards. In case you are too lazy to read up how to attract FDI, below are some posts for you to scheme through. None of the authors mentioned external/foreign reserve as a factor for attracting FDI (or foreign investors). http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/more.php?news_id=97499 http://www.jordanembassyus.org/11262001006.htm Here's another one! http://www.iamot.org/conference/index.php/ocs/4/paper/viewFile/560/77 Do not ignorantly or deceptively try to engage in economic issues if you are not well grounded! |

Caseless:Two wrongs can never make a right. In this case Buhari was wrong. All statistics showed that Buhari left Nigeria more indebted than he met it. The economy was not better either, Nigerians lost their human rights. Look at the last stanza of the speech, you will agree with me that Buhari is a useless hypocrite, how can he hing his actions on desperation and do or die nature of politicians when in actual sense he's the most desperate politician whose thirst for presidential seat reeks do or die. |
