I tire o, the way some of our elites have been bashing PMB, shows they are indeed the major cause of our problems cos a lot of them benefit majorly from our importation based economy. They have to prophesy doom so PMB can easily cave in to their desires which is devaluation but God pass them.

as a prof in economics, why nt advice buhari on what to do rather than being a prophet of doom.

LordAdam:


PMB should make this guy a consultant. He just nailed it here.

A. Full diversification of the economy cannot happen overnight.
B. There should be good fiscal policies that would create incentives for budding industries. Right now there is none.

These are the real issues not "exchange rate" or devaluation/no devaluation. Even if we devalue the naira now, nothing will improve because there are no policies to take advantage of the policies.

I'm positive that if Buhari spends one month to assemble a formidable team, and brainstorm on a range of policies to affect budding Nigerian industries especially the buoyant agric sector, investors confidence will be piqued and the economy will stop falling. Look at the fiscal policies on local processing of rice and automotive policy by GEJ. Those are sound policies.

Buhari needs to push forward with good policies of his own. Tomatoes are wasting in the north and we are still importing tomato paste when our local tomato paste manufacturers face plenty of logistical challenges. That mini-industry needs government input. Increase import duty on tomato paste and make low interest loans available for the producers. Very soon, like with cement, we would be totally dependent on local production and start exporting tomato paste.

There are many mini-industries like that, that need Buhari's timely intervention to grow and further diversify the economy, but the dullard will prefer to travel without placing emphasis on the economy.

Its Hypocrite.

I helped praying GEJ out of office {despite praying him in 2011}.

You can now kill yourself.

Devaluation is a really tricky subject, especially when there are no real complementary policies & strategies. Nigeria has been devaluing the Naira from less than N1/$ to the current rate of N198/$ and yet there has been no real economic benefit to the country.
---
The biggest beneficiary of devaluation will be government, since they control 95% of what we export (oil). Ordinary Nigerians will be the worst victims since almost every item in the country has some import component.
---
I think an economic summit where there is a robust discussion on the best economic strategy for the country would be most ideal.

Ahahahahh and he said the truth... Buhari has nothing to offer nigeria. Quote me anywhere!!

vigasimple:
The political elites are the biggest fraudsters and the most corrupt in this country. It is clear Buhari has no idea and certainly not an upgrade on GEJ.

If you spend the first 2 quarters out of 16 to look for minister or team members and writes the most corrupt of all budget. Then you are not worth a leader flying all over the place with more than enough problem to deal with at home.

If you 'elect' someone with doubtful education using NEPA Bill as his certificates, then you have lost your rights to complain.

Mylove55:
d guy is not wailing, he is just echoing d mistake of pdp 16yrs of failure, especially ur clueless corrupt hero of 6yrs of failure,

100Cents:


He mentioned creating incentives for industries to thrive. Not just saying we want to diversify economy by mouth. Using Nollywood as a case study, nobody wanted building a film industry but people just came together and started shooting clips that the society watched and laughed at, and there was an industry.

He cant say more, a basket of tomatoes i heard is N300 in Jigawa state and the produce is wasting. What incentive has this govt created for the Jigawa farmers ? Thats how to form a new industry..
