Noi and Gej cant do anything anymore to turn around our fortunes. Its now buhari and kemi's onus. We are in economic disarray and the best place to start is to pass the budget asap. Buhari should as a matter of urgency and emergency gather all his people and the nass, quickly get that budget right and signed, from their we can continue our debate.
Modath you will agree with me that nothing is more pressing to Nigeria now than the budget getting straightened out and implemented asap. It will amount to naiviety for pmb to make anymore foreign travel without achieving this, as no serious country will take us serious with all this directionlessness, blames and lethargy in our approach to governance. The people's suffering increases daily and we must be seen to be emparthetic enough and not all this unnecessary political grand standing

Both the IB & NOI are incompetent & Unpatriotic....

Still trying to get the magic wand that made saving possible under OBJ despite average crude oil price,& how same minister had two different results despite record Crude price & Sales..

*Llight bulb moment*

We had a president with major cojones of steel.

Not an an IB whose inordinate ambition & a desire for an undeserved second term "tied" his hands & made it impossible for FG's 52% of the ECA to be put to good use..

The Governors & LGs took their 48% while the FG's did a Houdini & was "gone with the wind"..

modath:



Why should she have resigned? We were rich on paper & that's all that matters!!




1.2016 budget= PMB replaced key projects like rail lines, federal roads & agric development plans with Town halls & Keke Napep.

2.CBN illegal hire= Bubu gave the waiver & he is also the CBN governor..

PMB's economic policy (FX restrictions)= When you become president of a nation in almost financial distress, give FX to importers to bring in plastics & hand fans to be shared at Owambe!

De listing of Nigerian from JP Morgan etc= Bubu won't devalue, IMF go taya, then G n D.. EoD

When will this administration stop blaming the past government for their failure?



If care is not taking this administration will fail woefully than their predecessor . Can you see the change you people are giving the masses? Every week you will blame jonathan for this and the man you are blaming have moved on with his life you are still where you are blaming him while is receiving world recognition. Stay there oga bubu and his blaming team.

1. I don't do party stuffs, but that doesn't mean I won't call out PDP or APC for their actions or in-actions.

2. I would have loved you answer how devaluation has helped us in the past: from 65 kobo to $1, and more recently, from N155 to 199?

3. What rate would you want the Naira devalued to?

4. Have you factored how that skews our foreign debts repayments against us.

5. Can anyone guarantee with the same oil prices or lower, the same racketeers and saboteurs won't play their hands, and the black market/official rate wide gap resurfacing?

By and large, the budget and direction is what the economy needs, the corruption in the system amplifies the wide margin between the BM and CBN rates, I mentioned the same in my earlier post. The CBN has been expected to come up with reforms; since January nothing yet . . .

And just to mention, banning importation has little or no effect in this equation, our biggest Forex guzzler at 40% is refined petroleum products, I think we should ban that first (by far the most senseless imports into this country . . . but see where we are . . . stuck with it) before banning other imports that suck averagely 20-30%. While repatriation of funds and other settlements account for the rest. If the right policies and infrastructure are in place, we wouldn't need to be importing palm oil, rice, tooth picks, eggs and other weirdos in the first place, rather, we should be exporting those, we would have real sector investors coming in with 'hard currencies' = less pressure on the dollar.

Devaluation won't stop all that, it hasn't so far, it would only encourage smuggling . . . like I said earlier, once you devalue, there is call for wage increase which triggers 'further inflation' and makes available money to buy 'the same now more expensive imported goods' = pressure back on the dollar = back to square 1.

Devaluation in our 'peculiar scenario', is a lazy man's approach to a fundamental problem.

P.S. About the 'hiring thing' . . . sorry, that's just my 'opinion' -- it might not make it right, but like I said, we have 'biggggerr' problems.

TPAND:
Fortunate media columnist put up article of calumny debacle to rubbish the personalities of persons who have altruistically served their motherland.

The media is so corrupt that the sincerity and ingenuity of this fortunate columnist have been compromised by the quest for making undue monies from the opposing and antagonizing moneybags and the ones connected to them. Slanderous articles fill up the pages of newspaper, while the world celebrates our past heroes with a colossal lionization.

After reading the lines of this article, I couldn't help but wonder why such slandering write-ups is not directed towards my sister Kemi. We cannot change the past but we have to move forward. This should have been carefully constructed to bedevil Kemi's atrocious performance as our country is dipping fast into a recession.

OrlandoOwoh:

Is the article written by Buhari or APC?

shawl:
This is a gifted writer who also threads on the path of truth. May God increase you in wisdom and truthfulness.

989900:


Let's be rational for a second:

NOI: 14 years out of 16 (with 'oil boom' for the most part), borrowing to pay salaries @$65/barrel . . . see where we are.

Kemi: 4 months, without one budget yet to work with, in an 'oil doom' period, shutting each loophole of theft, one at a time

You wanna call "crucify her, crucify her" . . . wait and do it at the right time, doing so now only makes you the most part, the 'tribalist' and irrational one.

Oxenomy:
tribal bigot.. It's really eating you deep but you don't know it. By the time you find out what happened, it might be too late then..

seunmsg:


You guys are such a terrible liar that you try to spin everything that puts the spotlight on your failed leaders. This thread is about the failures of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and not Kemi Adeosun.

The article was written by an Igbo columnist against a failed Igbo lady and published in Vanguard, an Igbo owned newspaper. So, how you guys turn everything into Kemi vs NOI is what I can't comprehend. If you don't want people to talk about NOI failures again, tell her to shut the fvck up and stop spewing rubbish in the press and blaming others for her failures. We've all forgotten about her until she started talking shiit about political will to save. She should stop all the self righteous pontification and seek restitution for her failures.


And stop all the lies about no economic plan is being implemented by this present government. Repeating this silly lies only makes you people more unpatriotic. If you haven't seen the economic plan of this government, you are simply a hypocrite who isn't really interested in the economic development of the country. You lots probably think economic plan is shouting transformation agenda on radio and TV ads. And if I may ask, can you show us the economic plan that was developed and implemented by GEJ and NOI while in office?

Pidggin:


Another paid poster

gbenga2020oke:

Did u read through the write-up? You probably did but the primordial sentiments thats the bane of development of this country still clouded your judgement. Anybody with the slightest shred of sanity would after reading the write up concur with it.

I have been trying to get hold of you i have a question for you please kindly check your inbox for my pm

Tbest20:
U accept that jonathan government is a failure

peacengine:
When will the cowardice this Buhari's administration is showing especially as regards blaming the past administration stop . This is a year already since the administration took over, yes a year because he won in March 2015, Buhari had three months to draw up his game plan before taking over from Jonathan.

Why did PMB contest, what was the reason, to blame GEJ after winning or what?

We are suffering, no light, no fuel, insecurity, things are becoming too expensive, please PMB should quit as soon as possible if he cannot make things right.

Quit Quit Quit for God's sake. Stop punishing us for your failures please, APC handover to PDP

Pay-per-post crew, mention my post at your peril

Pidggin:


Things were working fine despite so called incompetence. I still remember buying fuel at the regulated government price of N87, now Buhari and Co. cannot even ensure that filling stations adhere to government price. I had light at least 12 hours a day, things were cheap.

Enough of this pathetic excuses, governance is not by force, Buhari was voted to CHANGE things, but now we have been CHAINED instead
