My candid submission:

1. Given the fact that Nigeria for the first time witnessed a real/true change of government (from one party to another), it is expected that economic activities will slow down within the first few months of the new govt as it takes time to formulate a new direction. This fact is more reinforced when one considers the type of economy the new government inherited. It was an economy that the PDP/FG borrowed to pay its workers in April and May of 2015. Had PDP won, they would have continued the borrowing as crude price slides further.

2. Most of the economic performance figures given in this analysis were for the first two quarters of 2015 which are Jan, Feb, March, April, May and June. Of those six months, Jonathan was in charge for five months. So, if any blame is due for apportioning, it is to GEJ's government.

3. There is surely brighter future for Nigeria given that the new government has shown capacity to block avenues for leakages and wastages as seen with past governments. It is such efforts that have increased our foreign reserves from $29 billion left by GEJ (he met $47.7bn) to above $32bn in just after two months of PMB. It's same efforts that have increased states' and federal allocations for two consecutive months in June and July.

4. As we restructure NNPC and look more in other directions such as mining, improved IGR and farming, our dependence on crude oil which has brought this glooming economic picture will reduce in the coming years; and Nigeria shall return to better outlook.

5. With reduced corrupt business environment, investors' confidence will improve and Nigerian economy will soon start to pick up especially with the incoming new cabinet ministers in this month.

Guy, it's not any blockage of leakages that increased our foreign reserves. It's a result of CBN's stringent policy on Foreign Exchange, which is terribly affecting businesses in this nation.

You are totally on point.

People always view things with a myopic sight. Buhari was essentially not part of the first 2 quarters of the year. This is result of the past and not the present.

When he came on board and said records were bad, accounts were empty, etc . The Satanists were shouting but this is the result of that. PDP was ready to destroy Nigeria but God was faster and wiser.

What's with the sensational headline if they are somewhat projecting a relatively low growth forecast which is by far as a direct result of the low oil prices?

We will only slip into recession if we have 2 consecutive negative growth recorded for financial quarters.

The report makes no sense though since most major economies are also in a comparable low digit projected growth

In as much as some people will want us to believe this is GEJ's fault, Jonathan is no longer in charge, Buhari is. And his inability to form a cabinet months after he was sworn in as seriously affecting the economy. Most foreign investors are wary as they don't know the economic direction of the present administration. No one knows where we are headed. And people can't afford to put their money in a country where they are not sure of.
I also believe the states can force the fg to make a coerced action towards economic growth most especially the southern States but their instability and inter rivalry is a problem.if not the States can push regional growth to double digits by mid December 2015

Of all things he listed, it was only the political statement he made that was important to you. If I ask you the loopholes in particular that were blocked which caused that increase in our foreign reserves, you obviously can't say.

Meanwhile, read this excerpt from the same link:

"According to him, recent measures by the central bank would help reposition the economy for the next phase of growth and development.

Emefiele listed these measures to include among others, the further tightening of monetary policy; closure of the official foreign exchange window; review of operators’ Net Open Position (NOP); placement of 72-hour limit on FX utilisation; and ban on selected items from access to foreign exchange in either the interbank or BDC markets."

And who is ultimately responsible for the CBN's action. Will Emefiele have been able to ban any item from accessing foreign exchange without the approval of the president?

Nigeria economy and Greece are two mutually and constantly different economies.
Greece submitted its economy to European control in exchange for loans(it did not work out in the long run because it no longer had money)
Nigeria is totally different.it is in control of its own money but it is fighting against the forces of external economic influence.this means NIGERIA HAS A CHOICE TO EITHER REMAIN NUETRAL OR TO WIN.
so it is either the govt starts expressing itself to win or it continues to be neutral but it won't hit recession.

Your first point is contradictory.

Nigeria witnessed its first true democratic change of government which made the world excited because they believed that Nigeria had attained a level of political stability.

It is a big advantage not a disadvantage for a developing economy.
Buhari failed to take advantage of that by not acting swiftly to put economic policies in place.
Oil prices have been on the decline but that was not a veritable excuse for Jonathan so it shouldn't be for Buhari.
Besides he knew (supposedly) the challenges he would be facing and still went ahead to make all the far fetched promises he did.


It is now very obvious that Buhari never had a clue what it would take to turn the nation around.

I am not being economical with the truth, dear. Take it that even if the president had revealed any economic policy in the last three months, it would not have affected the figures you see in that report for the simple fact that those figures represent the first six months of the year. His new policies (had he made them known b4 now) may only have impacted in real life but the data will still not be known until around October or November.


How do you mean? He was in charge of a month out of three months. Do you think it's fair to appropriate that result to him?


It could have been sustained if the president chose not to clear the mess of the last govt. However, not clearing the mess would have prevented him the opportunity to know the true state of affairs in each of the ministries.


The downward trend is surely worrisome but I repeat, they belong to the first six months of the year. And five of those months were for Jonathan's/PDP's.

Things will surely improve as soon as we have competent and credible ministers.

A temporary set back now is better than a calamity that awaited had PDP won the last election.

Point taken...but don't forget also the forecast for the remaining quarters which if it's anything to go by, doesn't reflect confidence of both the international community and investors in the government.. and they appear quite bleak to the populace.
The increasing government involvement in the economic and financial systems, a fallout of the 'anti-corruption' stance, is another thing. It'll be seen as inimical to the free market environment necessary for business growth. These might be responsible f d dark clouds forecasters are seeing.

PMB isn't going to be able to continue the way he's bin going. The earlier an economic team is put in place, the better.

But we already know that the economic team is almost here. It will come this month if not next week.

I repeat that we are in better position than we would have been had GEJ won. We may never know what we were saved by removing PDP.

Can anyone explain how we would have survived given that loans were taken just to pay government workers in March and April?

The situation was very bad. It is now bad but the future is promising.
