GreatAgb:


I asked you a simple question, what buffers have the present team put in place?

She said 2 key things

1. Block revenue leakages

2. Introduce economic buffers into the budget to cushion the effects.

So answer my question

On the subject of flashbacks:

Is it not ironic that a party that who made it plainly clear that they are against maintaining a savings buffer against a potential fall in oil price now bemoan the lack of savings today?

Lets also remember that many APC run states, including Kemi Adeosun's Ogun state where she was commissioner of finance, were run as if oil prices will never fall. This explains why they have required bailouts. Remember this when you hear these partisan hacks try to pretend they are different from PDP.

You want magic in less than one year? What was NOI looking at for 6 years? She has expected oil to keep booming?

INTROVERT:
This article would have made more sense if the OP did not seek to blatantly attack perceived enemies.

Yes he wants magic because that's what APC promised during their presidential campaign..

THE AIM OF DIGGING UP THIS ARTICLE:

Pleae note: Madam Okonjor made this assertions in November 2014.

1. This is to remind the Wailing Wailers who keep attacking the current minister of Finance that the ex Finance Minister whom they so much believe in and whom they believe would have been a messiah sounded the alarm of a very tough economy ahead even when oil was still as high as 76usd per barrel. Do I need to remind anyone the price of oil per barrel now?

2. The ex Minister of Finance only saw a need to block revenue leakages when Oil prices started dropping low. Was any action taken after her suggestion? No!!! Rather, despite the dwindling oil prices, CBN became am ATM to allies of the president, where raw Dollars/Naira where withdrawn/tansferred under the guise of phantom projects, bogus subsidy claims, arms procurements. Etc. Now we are suffering of dollar crunch.

Who came on board to block the leakages? The new Sheriff off course, President Buhari.

3. If at $76/per barrel, Madam Okonjor was already ringing bells, why do the Wailing Wailers expect a booming economy from a government which is less than a year in office, and currently selling oil at $28 per barrel? Rather than wailing, they should rather support the government in steps taken to move Nigeria forward.

4. Madam Okonjor needs to explain to Nigerians why Nigeria was not saving for the dry season when oil was sold well above $100 per barrel. What happened to all the revenues generated when oil was booming? We only had booming economy on papers, ordinary Nigerians never felt a booming economy under her watch.

To the Wailing Wailers:

President Buhari have succeeded in blocking a lot of revenue leakages, and is driving seriously for non oil revenue generations as it is evident in the changes made in the Nigeria Customs, FIRS, and the appointment of learned scholar Dr. kayode Fayemi as the minister of Solid minerals.Etc

We have also seen efforts to recover stolen money even though some term it political witch hunting. The almost dead EFCC whose duty was reduced to chasing Internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo boys have suddenly rosen up to their responsibilities. Fraudsters like Olisah Metuh, Dansuki and the likes are already feeling the heat.

Efforts to recover stollen money is also a form of blocking revenue leakages.

The fact remains that APC led government can not correct the 16 years rot of PDP in less than a year and it is illogical to blame the current economic woes on the newly elected president. Only the blind will not see President Buhari is really working to make Nigeria great again.

SO FAR SO GOOD, PRESIDENT BUHARI IS PERFORMING ECONOMIC MIRACLES AS HE HAS NOT BORROWED TO PAY ANY SALARIES

God bless the Federal Rubublic of Nigeria

NB: I am a die hard APC supporter with No Apologies!!!!

This is an indication of the cluelessness of the present FG. Even before they got to power, the were aware of the tough times aheaD. They promised change. They came into power and yet the impact is growing by the day. What buffers have this govt put in place as sugGested by NOI?

On the economy, this govt has since slipped from grade D to E and are precariously at the edge of slipping to an epic Fail.

koboko69:


I already answered u in my original post. Only the blind or the ones who choose not to see will not see....

Which are u...the Blind or the one that chose to be blind?

koboko69:
Mynd44, lalasticlala i have seen attacks on APC and Mrs Adeosun grace FP on several occasions.
Why is this defence ignored.
That NOI attacked Oshiomole, Soludo and now Falana did not stop newspapers and media houses from publishing her attacks. Neither did it stop NL from publishing it on FP.

Though the price of sweet crude, the blend of oil export from Nigeria, rose marginally at the close of trading on Wednesday to $76.96 per barrel, it has already crashed below the $79 per barrel benchmark approved in the 2014 Appropriation Act, concerns are mounting that tough times are indeed ahead.

razid:

Interesting at the underlined. $79 per barrel was the benchmark that was passed into law, but price of crude fell to $76 just like we are having a situation whereby $38 per barrel was proposed (not even passed into law) but the crude oil price is hovering around $30 per barrel. So much for the World Best Economists who are making so much noise about a benchmark that has not even be passed into law as if we have never had a situation whereby the executive will propose a benchmark and the legislators will change it to another.

koboko69:
Dear mynd44 lalasticlala and seun. Wailiing Wailers in not an abuse or insult and have been officially used by renowned writers and even the presidents media aide and have been published on news papers.

I am simply reminding with wailing wailers/ipob that their goddess was already making noise even when oil was still $75 per barrel and she specifically noted we were going to start feeling drop in oil prices NOV 2014. Oil have been dropping ever since then....hence Magician Buhari needs to be given more time

JingoOAU:



It means there's nothing on ground for Buhari to work with...

GreatAgb:


I am surprised you are still talking about that initial lie that has been roundly exposed to be what it is, a LIE.

Redoil:
Let me pity ur ailing condition as an automatic zombie and ur bad janjawe.edian life by answering kwestion 4.
When okonjo and gej were crying blood telling nigeria to save for the hard times ahaed some of ur captians of zombie and ur janjawee.dian 5 star generals who are ameachi the air lord fashole the tomboy of tinubu who spent $85 million to buy an already existed site $150million in digging a borehole, oshiomole the go and die governor with opolo eye who spent over $200million marrying an ethiopian goddess, took gej to court and and shouted corruption of which you koboko69, gbawe the slum the dweller, beremx, omenka, passingshot, delgardo, demdem and all scam change agent were shouting kworruption. I pity you. Apc change

Demdem:
To those fools who will come and tell me that she couldn't save because of Amaechi and co........u lot are shameless fools. However, I leave u with Prof Soludo words to Ngozi. The witch is yet to respond.


I hereby challenge your attempt to blame others for not saving for the rainy day. It is not a virtue when you are quick to appropriate all the credit when things are going well, but shift the blame when they go wrong. You blame the state governors— who, according to you, have taken the Federal Government to the Supreme Court—not that a Supreme Court judgment forced your hands. For your information, the governors have never agreed to savings and always threatened court action even under Obasanjo. Why did we save under Obasanjo but not under Jonathan? Two keywords explain it: leadership and integrity. Governor Amaechi said the governors insisted on sharing the funds because they found out that you were illegally fiddling with the savings. So, as Nigerians still wonder, if billions of dollars are now ‘missing’ under your nose, why should governors trust you to keep their money? Do the states that have taken the federal government to the Supreme Court and refused to save also include the PDP governors—who are in the majority? If so, then it is fatal: even governors of your own party, PDP, do not trust you to keep their money! Furthermore, did the governors also stop the Federal Government from saving part of its share? If you ran a surplus budget at the Federal level, you would have had credibility to blame others or to say they did not listen to your advice. The key point is that since you were running huge deficits yourself, it was also in your own interest to share the ECA. You did not show leadership or credibility, full stop!

Demdem:
The same witch under whose leadership we were borrowing to pay salaries by the time she was leaving despite years of enormous plenty ( the useless woman couldn't save, the one obj saved, she squandered it. one of the main reason why we are currently where we are.), under her watch, our collective yams were carted away in billions in a manner never seen before........this is plain foolish. This thread is useless. Take it serious at ur peril.

Dear op,

You simply demonstrated your ignorance. What is sustaining administration today are the pull ups from MDA 's that are stashed in TSA.

All ongoing infrastructure works are in limbo while the sums committed for them are being used to pay salaries.

Wait till TSA, which technically currently has what last administration saved/left, finishes then we talk again.

Wailing wailers mostly talk and contributes to matters of the economy out of hatred for PMB. They see only the flaws of the president.. trust me even if the exchange rate of Naira to dollar is 1naira to 1dollar, they'll still come up with something stupid to say...

They all need jesus
