The automotive policies and huge improvements in Agriculture isn't diversifying the economy?

Your siblings and friends are busy finding faults and being true to their words about making the country ungovernable for him, instead of telling us how they would solve our economic problems.

They have hit a spot with the majority clueless, dumb Nigerians of tackling corruption and thereby solving all our problems. A presidential aspirant saying he would stabilize our currency and economy by regulating world oil price. Such a shame.

His VP too saying they would create 20,000 jobs in every state with the help of the state governments, Is it magic? Tell us how you hope to do such, without creating more useless agencies with money that should go into infrastructural development and improving the economy

In the last 4years, Rotimi Amaechi is the single most corrupt politician in this country - he even brags about doling money to people, and APC wants to fight corruption.

rozayx5:


caseless NZRH or whatever they call themselves are the true symbol of APC supporters, praying for the economy to collapse so that Terrohari will come to power.

they pray for all our roads to collapse, our trains to derail so that they can have campaign points, why they cant wish us good is the reason APC governors have not been able to complete their rail projects

If your thinking that Buhari will do the magic for you then you must be a joker for 2015.

Instead of you to ask the National Assembly to make laws that put the development of Railways in the hands of FG LGAs and Private Sector, your myopic mind keeps expecting change from an all powerful FG

The only way out of this situation is for us to increase our local refining capacity and to capture the west and central Africa market,we just have to increase our influence within this region.

for me, this is welcome news.

When Jonathan wins again come 2015 _{(notice I used "when" not "if" because its a certainty)}


I'm sure the first thing he would do is to diversify the Economy.

You are wrong

The efforts of a good leader is wasted by a system prone to corruption

Eg

Jesus was a good leader but his financial treasury was looted by Judas but no one knew except Jesus because he has divine powers.

If Judas had been told to reveal on a daily basis the financial activities of the ministry, he would have being exposed earlier or he won't have stolen due to the accountable system being operated.

what do you think would have happened if there were 12 judas looting . this is thecase of gej

Will shale oil destroy Naija?
If the Americans develop technology to produce oil at less than $50/barrel and sell to Asia, what will Nigeria do?

we dont need to sell our oil to run our economy this is where our govt has not got it right.

ogbonoeba:


80% of the FG budget comes from oil, what is the alternative?

majekdom2:
refining , and making use ... stop importation, we wont have anything like subsidy .... we can then export whatever is left.

Discouraging imports is great for stimulating local
economy: WHEN THE LOCAL PRODUCTION
ACTUALLY EXISTS. For too many things in Nigeria,
the consumption FAR EXCEEDS LOCAL
PRODUCTION. The market actually depends on
importation for SURVIVAL.
You can't buy what doesn't exist.
So what does this mean? People will continue to
import because they HAVE to, even with the
increased import taxes:
• They will just pay the increased cost--defeating
the purported goal of reducing imports
• They will bribe someone--increased corruption
• They will smuggle it in from neighboring
countries--giving more money to other countries
The last is the most likely outcome, as it is already
happening.

Caseless:
what has he been doing in 6 years, diversifying or destroying the economy that you think he would do otherwise next year?
We gave him six years to diversify the economy, he failed to do that. Just expect him to be kicked out next year.

Leopantro:


I have really enjoyed the discussion so far. for once, intellectual minds are discussing an important issue without stupid political inputs.

In regards to stopping importation, I would like to share a post by MissMeiya



case in point,; banning the importation of cars with no established manufacturing company capably of meeting half of the needs of the populace at any set point adequately.

WhiteTechnology:



You gave him 6years but constrained him using your false federalism(Unitary system)


When Nigeria is ready to make States LGAs and Private Sector the vanguard of economic diversification, growth and development, we should be expecting more of this.

actually , it depends on the product we talking when we discussing import and production .
we produce oil which exceeds what Nigerians need daily . as for the automobile industry , I see it go no where , the truth remains , majority see those produced cars as substandard . I believe a partnership with international mobile companies would have been a better option .I am this individual also that believes for anything to work in Nigeria , there must be a presence of an international key player . take for instance the telecommuniation industry , we see how well it is doing .
As for the agricultutal sector , do we have market for this products , whats the use of diversification when there is no market . we see whats happening in russia today , they are having a tough time simply because of the ban which provides no markets for their products . these are issues our govt needs to look into first .
Oil production is becoming a tough business now , many countries in africa will be producing in commercial quantities . it is time we harness other natural resources .....

U think.
BTW I'm no midget but an intellectual giant.
Happy new year in adv to u & urs

Ilekokonit:
Owing to the frantic competition for Asian buyers, India, THISDAY learnt, has taken the unusual step of asking Nigeria to offer it a 90-day credit line if it must continue to buy her crude oil.
