One-Year In Office: My Biggest Shock - Buhari by dre11(m): 5:51am On May 27, 2016 |
......tell me if I should change ministers The biggest shock he had during the past year as President was the realisation that Nigeria had over the years squandered all its precious foreign exchange on the importation of food items and other frivolous items including tooth picks, President Muhammadu Buhari said in Abuja yesterday. He spoke to editors and newspaper executives in a brief interview to mark the administration’s first year in office. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/one-year-in-office-my-biggest-shock-by-buhari/148606.html 35 Likes 4 Shares

The one thing Africans and its leaders/rulers lack is foresight. We only dwell in the now and damn the consequences of what ever the future holds..4getin that that future is 2day's inputs. . Greed is also one of our greatest undoing as a race, until our government begins to build institutions that will outlast them as well as have a positive multiplier effects on generation unborn, Africa will still remain in poverty maybe till eternity. . Partisanship and discontinuation of preceding government policies have stagnated the continent as an entity. No rapid progress comes from setting completely new agenda by every successive government...That's why the African race still battles with fundamental problems as electricity , portable roads, adequate housing, polio etc in the 21st century. 80 Likes 10 Shares |

So world bank adviced him to remove subsidy in 1984, but he stated clearly that he has never heard of subsidy when asked in 2014. The issue of smuggling PMS is not new, all previous administrations have dealt with this issue effectively till date. If PMB cannot handle this, he should humble himself and seek solution from OBJ who is now a fellow party member. You don't have to place the burden of your incompetence on us sir, please seek solution from those who have done it before. 135 Likes 7 Shares |

so why his he telling us as at now when the economy is almost down? is it to seek pity or for Nigerians to hail him. well i agree with him concerning Nigerians running to the city to pursue oil money but one thing he failed to do is to invest in our Agricultural sector, since he realised that Nigerians are importing food, why not focus more on Agriculture instead of preaching corruption for a year now and nobody has been arrested, the money and the time used in travelling and fighting corruption should have been centered in Agriculture and other sector of the economy. that might have return made Nigeria export food rather and in return put money in national purse. he can face corruption later but definitely not now. the economy needs to be stable. 30 Likes |

Please leave your ministers for now. It is to early to appraise their performance. Also, they just got their budget to work with so time will time. Sack fashola after 2 years if he can't come up with innovative ideas to energy other than gas. A region should never hold a nation to ransom. Also, carry all stakeholders in the energy sector along e.g. generator sellers, diesel seller etc. If not they will keep sabotaging your effort. Nigerians are generally lazy and greedy people, we want fast money. surprisingly, unavailability of raw materials, lack of energy, machineries, staff know-how discouraged local investors from manufacture. the greedy marketers took control of the industry, killing every production company and potential ones. They buy cheap and substandard products from China and sell at high prices to us, thereby controlling the market. Like the sustainable economist said on channels daily yesterday, we Nigerian like to artificially create inflation and scarcity to enrich a few. He mentioned the fuel issue, diesel (went up immediately form 125 to 142), food stuffs etc. We are our problem, not the government per say. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

Mr President,there is disdain among your cabinet and this can not help d turnaround we expect as long your ministers are not on the same book with you. We have not feel any roll out of government programmes on agriculture. The only advantage your government is enjoying is majority of Nigerians have faith in you atleast to set things on the right parts. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

While all those 'silly items' are wrong, they account for less than 20% of our Forex demands. Repatriation of funds and other 'technical items' (according to CBN), accounts for 30%-40% demand. Imported refined fuel accounts for 30-40% (Which is the real travesty!). What measures have the past governments since 1999, done to arrest the importation of agric. products, while we have arable lands and excess supply of manpower? Where are the single digit soft loans, where are the campaigns, the programs to encourage able bodied men and women to make us not only producers/consumers, but net exporters of these items? Did we also comatose the refineries? Or prevented government from building new ones either by PPP, or any other means? Are we also responsible for not checkmating cross-border smuggling of fuel, and other diversion/fraud of imported fuel which accounts for roughly 30% of the 40m litres of PMS alone that we pay for on paper according to Kachikwu (I don't understand the 'dust' Buhari is 'yarning' up there)? Stop blaming the people for failures of the government! 16 Likes 1 Share |

Who didn't know that Nigeria is a 100% import country? Why is he sounding confused or surprised? I don't even have to be in government to know that. The question is that since he left government what has he done to improve the country? Nothing. Even his state zero. He couldn't influence any deal, private investors etc as government or ordinary citizen and he is complaining. Mstchewww 9 Likes |
