I think Nigeria should go back to the old regional goverment. President Jonathan has messed up the entire system with his cronies he brought out of the concrete jungle of the south-south. Nigerians are more divided than ever! It seems like the president really wants to divide the country after 2015 if he's not re-elected. Everybody is complaining in Nigeria that things are hard...It's terrible. I've never experienced any government like this in my life, even Abacha's government is far better off! I wonder what his ministers are doing? They feed Nigerians with wrong informations that are confusing, by telling us the amount of the FDI's coming to the country is on the rise! Corruption has eaten into everything in our country. Nigeria should get themselves prepared for the worst. I don't think this country can survive till 2015. We have thugs, touts and militants running the government for us. Nothing is working! The judicial system is dead, transportation is not in order, zero education, no welfare package and security at all. Nigeria is in a state of comatose! What can we brag about as a country? Nothing apart from looting and oppressing. My advice to the young couples out there, "cut your coat according to your cloth." if you know your life is not in order, don't think about bringing in a child to this world to come and suffer. Our enviroment doesn't have any security for the unborn. Before anybody thinks they can have a child in Nigeria, they should better think twice and plan! There is nothing for any stray kid or baby to fall upon now! Look before you leap! 2 Likes |

Billyonaire: What will prompt a human being to wake up early on a Sunday morning and google bad news about his country and take it to a forum with the sole aim of insulting our President? And what would make you wake up everyday ready to deceive others about the glaring failures and deficiency of a leader that is letting down millions of your own fellow man? When he maintains a ten-plane PAF (presidential air fleet) and augments such by three planes and at a cost of almost $160 million what is your own motivation for speaking in favour of such callousness when much richer Nations than Nigerian have one plane or non to serve their President? What is behind your defence of the President of a very poor nation who profligately allocates more to the maintenance of his PAF than is allocated to equipping the Nigerian police force consisting of almost 0.5 million men and women? The security of the lives and property of his own citizen not even worth sacrificing for in GEJ's opinion? How do you justify supporting a President who spends an amount on his ludicrously bloated air fleet that can, according to experts, provide adequate housing for millionss of ordinary Nigerians? It is not for nothing I mentioned that Nigeria cannot develop adequately without a drastic reduction in hideously high recurrent expenditure. I.e the sort your messiah typify with his large budget for food and all manner of personal excess. How can you defend a President who cannot lead by example to make any sacrifice, however miniscule, only to turn around and attempt to make your fellow Nigerians the bad guys for pointing this out? The more you wicked souls try to divert attention to your fellow forumers, who tell no lies against the clueless, highly ineffective and hideously profligate leaders you clannishly worship , the more I will show real examples of the direct actions/inactions of your messiah failing Nigerians. 4 Likes |

Nigerians are more divided than ever!Lamentations, lamentations, and lamentations! While you'r on NL re-writing another book of lamentations, hardworking and creative Nigerians are making it big in Agriculture, entertainment, ICT, telecomms, etc industries. People are keying into govt programmes such as YOUWIN, agric reforms, power sector reforms, aviation,etc. With the conclusion of PHCN privatisation, the next biggest industry is the power sector. People with foresight are already positioning themselves to be part of the explosion of opportunities waiting to happen in the power sector. The construction industry is experiencing a boom nationwide. I guess you'r one of the medieval ignoramuses who are still waiting for govt jobs and handouts, like was done in the 60s. Well, my friend, times have changed. The jobs and opportunities are in the private sector. Grow up! 1 Like |

President Goodluck Jonathan may not be perfect or a saint, but economically he is in fact doing his best in agriculture, labour and productivity. As much as I am one of his critics, I must commend his administration, because there has been an increase of active textile mills from 25 active mills in 2009 to 32 mills in 2012. Our textile industry is one of the pillars of the Nigerian economy. And even though I am one of his unapologetic critics, I am in fact one of the biggest beneficiaries of his $200m Entertainment fund to launch community cinemas in our Screen Naija One Village, One Cinema Project in all the 774 local government areas in Nigeria and that project attracted the foreign investment of the IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX; TSX: IMX) to build IMAX theaters in over 30 states in Nigeria. Some of these foreign reports are often erroneous like the one that wrongly labeled Lagos as among the worst cities on earth which I dismissed and EIU quickly corrected and even called me on phone to admit the wrong report. Therefore, I advise that we should not let these questionable economic reports by self appointed foreign experts mislead us to dismiss the significant economic developments in Nigeria. 4 Likes |

agbameta: Actually, peabrain, you MUST use other countries when measuring your own performance, as no nation is an island, and humans are all related. The HUMAN FACTOR plays a part in all development. Losses and waste are inevitable. Even the US spends trillions of dollars a year on arms. Is that not waste? It's corrupt as well. What is perfect or near perfect in your own life for you to be demanding perfection from others?? THAT'S THE QUESTION. Dummy, is Tinubu a public official or talk less the president of Nigeria? The fact that you are even discussing a man who's been out of public office for almost a decade and not responsible for your life or anybody's life in Nigeria says a lot about your vacuous brain and corrupt mentality? Spare us that crap. In or out of office the man controls a lot of ill-gotten funds which YOU, a corrupt hypocrite has never in your life questioned him for. Oriental Hotel in Lekki among other 'investments' by Tinubu. Do you care to know where he got his loot form? No. Why? Because he is Yoruba. Shame on you. Mr selective anti-corruption campaigner (spit). Again you piece of shittttt, we are talking about your own country and the article up there remains about your own country so STFU and quit talking about other countries. Donkey, were you not the one that 'brought in other countries' by claiming Jonathan leads the most corrupt administration ''in the history of mankind''? Is that not bringing in all the countries on earth? I then showed you that Nigeria is not even in the top 30 most corrupt on TI's index, then like an amala stuffed donkey you bleat ''don't bring in other countries''. I'll put it down to your low IQ and excess amala and gbegiri consumption blocking your brain. Dullard, last time I checked, the oil belongs to the people of Nigeria. Oponu illiterate.. Which people of Nigeria? You are not a Nigerian. You are Yoruba tribalist who only remembers he is a ''Nigerian'' when looking for free oil money to steal from other lands. I asked you when the SW was going to share their cocoa proceeds and quadruple them, to contribute to the national purse, and you ducked the question. Care to answer now?

Gbawe sanity needs to really be re-evaluated. Global Competitive Index from the GCI World Economic Forum is here (Find link below for 2010 to 2011). http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GlobalCompetitivenessReport_2010-11.pdf Nigeria was at 127th position 2010-2011, and GEJ administration's measures move it 17 PLACES upwards to 115th. (See data at http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GlobalCompetitivenessReport_2010-11.pdf) Nigeria dropped just 5 places to 115th position to 120th among the 148 countries profiled which is basically due to SPONSORED TERRORISM and SERIAL FIGHTS & DISTRACTIONS by opposition forces that Gbawe is sympathetic and loyal to. Gbawe, your hate for your President is making you senile, please get your head checked before it becomes too late. Whose efforts moved the rating 17 places upwards, your father's effort ? If the rating moved 17 places upwards and you did not give credit for that, yet you come here insulting the majority who voted the President because the rating dropped 5 places backwards ( cos of sponsored terror and oil and looting of funds exemplified by your God Tinubu using Oriental, Tribune, Nations Airlines etc as case study), then who do you give credit for the 12 places average that the President has scored.

The truth is simple, development in this country is moving @ snail speed on the other hand GEJ as a ruler doesn't inspire much confidence. In 2001 his greatest assest was the love the people on the streets had for him, his story of "supernatural promotion" made everbody love him, If you remember most people added goodluck to their names, he was a darling of the masses. In January 2012 all that changed because of the subsidy drama. I have a simple challenge for GEJ's hardcore supporters here...sign out from your Nairaland account and start defending him in person, @ this point it has gone beyond hiding behind your computer screen. If you don't have an idea of where to start, try the local vendor in your neighbourhood, start telling people how he has transformed this country. If the response you get, doesn't change your opinion it will be fair to say you're an enemy of this country. Btw I don't care about where a leader comes from, our next President might be from Bayelsa too, I just want a fearless, intelligent and honest person to rule this country. 2 Likes |

These noise about growth is simply to cover up inadequacies. Countries grow, what is the big deal, what are the implications of such growth? These are the things we are concerned with as development people. As the chart from UNCTADSTAT below shows, Iraq (in blue) grew at 8.5% in 2012 while Sierra Leone (purple) on the other hand grew at 22%. What does this mean? Also as you can see the other chart on growth in Nigeria, the economy has witnessed far better growth in the past. In 1990 the growth rate was put at 12% a double digit growth rate, while 2002 was put at 21.35%. What is the implication of this growth? These are the same issues with FDI, you may attract $8 billion of FDI while another country attracts only $5 billion. That does not mean you are benefiting more from such FDI. For example efficiency seeking FDI's in the case of China have been shown to have far more beneficial impacts than resource seeking FDI. The point the World Economic Forum raises through that report is, that some countries are more competitive than others. You can cry till tomorrow, however, the signs are all over the country. You cannot say you want to develop when innovation, health, education, research is close to dead. These are the things. All these nonsense of, "we will get there" only exists in the minds of fools. Development is a conscious process, no nation gets there by chance. You have to sit, develop unique strategies, plans and policies to move from that level of uncompetitiveness to competitiveness.
