We live in a country were expectations are high and the citizens are made to believe that Nigeria is a very rich country yes only in natural resources but in reality we are a very poor Nation. we complain of inadequate infrastructure we want subways, speed trains etc .
But have we considered our annual budgets to see if this Nigeria of our dream is achievable in a short term?
A nation whose highest annual budget is about $40bn (4.68trn) cant be ranked as rich. This same budget figure is what Havard University budgeted for 2013, it's even more disappointing that only #1.3trn of the total budget that is earmarked for capital projects in a nation in desperate need of infrastructural developments. How many roads, bridges,hospital,rail lines, schools and shelter would this amount provide?
The questions we should be asking all the leaders vying for presidency in 2015 is would they support the removal of Petroleum subsidy to access more funds?
What will they do to diversify our economy to improve our income generation in the face of dwindling oil prices?
What will they do to reduce recurrent expenditure in our budgets?
How would they fight corruption legitimately given the shortcomings in our constitution, judiciary and the presence of looters in both Parties?

I am a staunch candidate for subsidy removal, the mistake of 2012 were the government placed the cart before the horse must be avoided and the hoodwinking of gullible citizens into protesting what actually is a good policy must also be discouraged it is high time we do away with petroleum subsidy in particular.

Mehn this your economic policy is not sellable and would take Nigeria back another 50yrs, How do you think reducing insufficient salary of civil servants is an efficient way to raise money? Also do note that Nigeria has one of the cheapest prices of petroleum products when compared to other oil producing nations and from all indication government have no business building refineries again all we need is PIB bill to open up that sector. How can we spend #1trn in 2015 subsidizing petrol when we have huge infrastructural deficit.

so u support dis too much waste in nigeria.u want increase in recurrent expediture. e.g. if minimum wages is even #5,000,d president can receive d highest of #50,000.when our naira have value(lower inflation)#1000 wil be enough to feed,pay house rent,fuel ur car,have more to save,to build ur house,bag of cement wil be sold for #200.everyone wil be employ,cost of production wil be less,if kero is #30 a litle,fuel #50 a litle,without subsidy.what and who are we subsidizing?d criminals in d name of importing fuel.we don't need it,if we have working refineries.we can also export.even if we have #4tr budget,recurrent wil be less than #1tr.more than 75% capital expenditure.within 4 yrs of buhari govt,nigeria wil be real giant of africa.i know gej can't operate dis economics policy,because he is corrupt.
