Madam minister we are tired of talk, please can you sit your azz down and actually start putting the talk into manifestation of results. I don't think the common man who cannot food for his family will understand this your long talk

Gone re the days when our former will just be giving us Numbers, Indexes and Percentages that don't reflect the true position of the economy. CHANGE IS HERE

We all know the problem and that is why you were appointed. Fix them first, and do the talking later. With the rate the Nigerian economy seems to be getting worse despite aggressive war on corruption etc, if it didn't not reduce the prices of garri, rice, fuel, power and other stable foods, the war might be meaningless to the masses.

Some people will not read before commenting negatively. But i have already finished reading it. No comment

Doing things the same way and expecting a different result is pure stupidity. Every nation is evolving ways of improving their economy and i believe that this woman will deliver in the long run. You dont doubt a person's competence based on age or looks. Where have our World bank competence taken us to? (into the abyss if you ask me). Whether we like it or not, she is the minister of finance and she is doing her job. Moreover, she also has colleagues that she works with. Like the misters of budget and planning, and trade and investment; except you will tell me they are also incompetent.

Na English she just dey speak. The Govt should support the masses with good electricity and good roads, loans and grants etc. You wil see the difference. #Onos JP

I don't trust her level of competence so I cannot follow her anywhere

But you trust madan okonjo, who waste billion of oil boom without saving. Algeria foreign reserve is $155 billion while Nigeria is $29 Billion.

How can a nation with oil be importing petroleum for 16 years of PDP, wasting our foreign exchange on fuel import, calling that largest economy in Africa.

WE HAVE DONE THE VOTING, PLEASE DO THE GOVERNING.

Madam please who are you addressing, your people in government or we the citizens ?

Yet again the citizens must be blamed ! Madam, I don't know how ready a nation can be for development, we voted out the last government for this government and you are here asking if we are ready for A B C D E....
The president told Al Jazeera that he is not in any hurry to fix the economy, when al jazeera reminded him the citizens are running out of patient, the president responded fiercely and visibly angry by asking what did the citizens do in the last 16 years, is it now that they want to be in hurry ?

All we ask is leadership by example, the first leakage is the round tripping happening in the banks. I am bringing my dollars home for investment, the banks changes it at 199 naira, when I need dollars to buy raw material the banks sells to me at 300 naira,why has the government has refused to block that leakage?

Secondly, how can you be asking if we are ready to confront those that mismanaged our wealth, we the citizen have done our own we voted them out , it's your turn to act madam. These people are not only in PDP, they form the nucleus of your party.

What financial discipline are you talking about, do you know how much Baba has spent travelling,? do you know how much is budgeted for feeding in Aso rock when Baba is being paid his salary ? Did you see all the leakages in the budget from the state house clinic to the generator room saga ? unfortunately in the interview granted Aljazeera days ago,Baba blamed the budget on saboteurs he said it was done by 60-70% of civil servant loyal to the last administration ... THIS GOVERNMENT NEVER TAKES RESPONSIBILITY, THIS IS GOVERNMENT OF BLAME Please act what you say.

We have done our voting, please you do the governing.!

u couldn't have said more...you hit the nail right on the head! I love u bro...(no homo)

A big liar, did u ever vote for him

Obiodunukwe:


This is the most important part of her article

Nigerians should start adjusting themselves to the new financial framework which is based on discipline

The budget fiasco was very embarrassing but I will score the government 6/10 so far

Six over what? Is like you're not in Nigeria. On what basis are you giving them such a positive mark? Without being immodest, the realistic score is -1/10

with due respect to her,I dont think she got the experience or competence to rock this sinking ship called Nigeria...

I thought the old complaint was that Kemi Adeosun wasn't communicating with the public about her plans for the future. Now that she is communicating, you're all asking her to keep quiet and just do her job? Why don't you come out and just admit that you dislike her for petty personal reasons, rather than for how well or poorly she's performing in a job she'd only had for 3 months?

It would be one thing if most of you could articulate policy reasons for thinking Adeosun unsuitable for her post - there are people who have done so and whose opinions I respect - but most of you here seem to be animated by nothing more than tribal animus, as the number of Nairalanders who have any grasp of economics can be counted on one hand.

for the love of our nation... thanks

The very people that need to adjust in their expenses are the rich politicians not the populace that have been managing since time immemorial.

Somebody should also tell this woman that Articles have never solved anything in Nigeria. If I need to read long article, my best sites are BBC world economy or CNN money

Thanks for reading the article, I am honoured . However I will ignore the 'liar' part

ILLITERATE

Isn't it ironic that you have given a score that is mathematically impossible within the context of this case.

You accuse me of being generous with my assessment of the govt and yet you go to the other extreme .

I scored 6/10 and I stand by it. I can see a a good foundation being laid. The problem of decades cannot be corrected in 8 months.

Is NOI your mother?

[quote author=thesicilian post=43565866]I don't trust her level of competence so I cannot follow her anywhere[/quote

U r absolutely correct, I doubt ds woman's competence

I don't if am the only one who don't have time to be reading long story about our dear country.





But I won't mind to read the longest story if the subjects are
#1 = $1
New fuel price #50
No more stamp charge of #50
Pure water prise back to #5
Jamb result last for three year.
Universities are bound from going on unnecessary strike




God help Nigeria. God bless Nigeria

Madam Kemi, This your article is meant to give hope to the hopeless and soul to the soulless. Too little too late.

What is new that this woman has said different from the same old stories?

In her words, the solution is in fixing our infrastructure; what has the present government done in this regards?

I want to see the specific new changes that the government is driving in the Economy.

Same waiting for investors.

Rubbish copy cart

This article is shallow and only scratches the surface of our current deeper economic crises. The pursuit of fiscal discipline or home keeping as she calls it, is no- brainier. As a finance minister, we need an in-depth analysis of workable economic options on ways out of our maze. While I do not stand with the multitude that calls the minister incompetent, I obviously stand with the few that are calling for an urgent and enlarged discuss on ways out of the current economic crises. Nation building should not be in black or white but must be seen to be colourful, devoid of party affiliations or ethnic leaning.

Yet again another apostle of "the problem of the past cannot be remedied...'' Are you people not tired of this overused cliché? It's getting boring really. Which good foundation are being laid? Can you tell me one foundation that's being laid that you're aware of? And don't mention fighting corruption because you and I know that the corruption fight is not yielding any result rather then media noises. So tell me the foundation being laid? Moreover I intentionally exaggerated my rating, but if truth must be told that is more-or-less the reflection of the present performance of the change government. So my rating may after all be apt in the present circumstances

The new normal for the global economy is that there is no normal, each nation must painstakingly work out the best path to
follow.

Interesting

I read this fantastic article and I look at our budget. I just shake my head. Who is kidding who?

Simple mathematics for dollar scarcity.

GEJ - 2 Million Crude @$120 = $240 Million

GMB - 2 Million Crude @$30 = $60 Million

Estimates $30/40 Million dollar foreign exchange for importing petroleum products.

GEJ $240 - $40 = $200M excess for other importers

GMB $60 - $30/40 = $20M excess for other importers.

Now for local refinery to produce some percentage, militants blow up d pipelines to supply crude.

well said, its all about bad belle, NOI cannot be finance minister forever yet some fellows can't just let us rest.

was expecting to see from this her long article the measures they have taken already in restructuring this country

when will our politicians stop writing long articles that has no positive effect to the masses and get to work, we have had stories upon stories yet nothing has happened

first thing the masses need to understand the direction of this govt and also stop lying to the masses

Make sense on paper....it is to bring it to fruition that is the challenge.
