Even more fanatical supporters of PMB are doing same thing offline. The pangs and sufferings are REAL. The stupid economic policies of PMB are largely responsible for these pains.

The blame game remains the same because you hate the name Buhari
What a shame
undecided

I had read the entire article and i was not expecting anybody to support this evil act solely instituted by Buhari administration against humbled Nigerians. Is it that you are blind or not just sensitive to people's plight? A reknown newspaper house like punch made an on-hand experienced reports on hardship people are passing through all over the country and you are here trying to defend an iddiot president who does not even know a fool like you exists. I would've suggested you go buy sense from the market if it's sold there cos you obviously dont have one. Dont quote me. I can never wish to know an iddiot like you. Unam Ikot.

@topic, we have all seen the unfortunate situation Buhari has thrown us into. And he seems not to even be worried over the hardship on people in the land. The iddiotic president who came into power through deceit still feels ok, flying up and down globally not minding the true situation the citizens are exposed to. Why wont the price of everything in the market skyrocket when wrong economic policies are put in place? If a man whom i know was a very successful importer is now resorting to selling his properties to attend to family needs, then the economy is really biting hard. Those who are not working depended on the few ones in the family who were working. Now those ones have been fired and the entire family thrown into untold hardship. God, in whatever way we had offended you, forgive us and kill Buhari for us for the sake of the other 170m nigerians. Thank You Father for we know You have answered our prayers...amen.

Snapers, a little secret.

Even if we had gone with PDP.....the same issues would have happened.

Our wealth, such as it is, is dependent on the rise and fall in oil prices. Which is why we are in this trouble....and which is why PDP winning in 2015 won't have made things better.

The thing is....Nigeria should have, and should be.....going through a period of hardship while we make the necessary spending in power, education, and transport to become a manufacturing power. Not using oil money to over-import (PDP style) or waiting for oil to rise again (APC style).

Food prices are high because for the sixteen years PDP was in power, they were able to hide the food gap we had in this country by importing. Even then, we still had the same issues in the time of plenty. Now....oil prices have fallen....and the truth is revealed....we were never ever rich.

You can call me a APC stooge, and a Zombie.....but I would be glad if you chewed on this before you start.....rich nations are not dependent on oil money....or on money from exporting raw materials and agric productis....but by innovation innovation. High time this government realized that....and I expect you the Opposition to tell them that. Oil is a burden....not a blessing.

Nice observation, oil/precious stones and other natural resources can be a blessing when well managed (the experience of Botswana comes to mind) but the tendency for these resources to hurt the development of a country is very high.
Though there is a revenue shortfall occasioned by the decline in oil prices, the resources in the country is still enough to run the country. Redistribution is the way forward. The masses should seal up the National assembly and Aso rock, they are gulping Far TOO much money for doing nothing.
I don't think the people are hungry enough, majority still have food to eat...when the hunger is unbearable they will attack their oppressors.

Re: People Exchange Kids, Clothes For Food To Survive Hard Times by amazingspiderma: 3:00pm On Jul 02, 2016
I can't believed that people are still blaming oil prices as an excuse for the incompetent Buhari.
There has been case studies of how governments have successful shielded nations from commodity price drop,through sound economic policies and besides, this is not even a global recession.Was it this bad in 2007/8.
What is the point stopping rice importation when,our local industry does not have the capacity to cope with demand locally.
How can a leader be encouraging Nigerians of this age to only farm,when doctors,engineers and other professional are all around this country.
Any good government is never afraid of debt,what it is afraid of is a crippling economy, because a working economy can service it's debt since capital is committed to produce good and services which employ people,and tax returns for government expenditure ,but a crippling economy is simple the death of capital,there is no production,no service and no taxes. The concept of driving a car is not the same for an airplane,but it seem Nigerians have employed a driver for our aeroplane.
Good luck with that,is the least I can say.

with this whole missive of incoherence you fail to realise one thing: the economy is bad because some people moved our wealth to foreign accounts in time of plenty when the monies should have gone into future investments that would have sustained the youths of today. Instead of blaming, we're to find solutions

You wont understand until you either totally unemployed, not earning and cant even get little favours from family members. That is when you will have a better picture. If you are able to still stay afloat despite the hardship, thank your God.

List the countries in the same economic misfortune as Nigeria today, that has saved the day with smart leadership (speak with fact please)

You talk about debts to resuscitate the economy like it's so easy to get a loan of the magnitude required...you think it's like asking your brother for 50k? No bro, the conditions for getting loans are usually very stringent with far long term implications for economic outcomes in recipient countries.

I could say the same thing you said about GEJ's regime for the Gowon, Obasanjo and Shagari';s regime up to 1982.

That ie because of high oil prices....there appeared to be plenty for all.

But GEJ's prosperity.....and the prosperity of the Gowon, Obj 's first coming and Shagari was that it was dependent on high commodity prices.

Or why would Okonjo Iweala be telling people in 2015 that even in the event of a GEJ win......there would be hardship.

I hate to break it to you.....but GEJ's regime was a failure. It did not rid us of our dependency of oil It did not tell Nigeria the truth...that we were really a poor nation posing with money we did not have. And PMB too should wake up to that reality.....and force Nigeria on the path that serious nations have gone through.

The path of industries and freedom from oil dependency.(Not car assembly plants that drain our oil revenues).

Oil is not our friend.
APC dished out too many campaign promises and propagandas against last government, placing high hopes in many Nigerians and convincing to perform miracles and even one year after they were still blaming past government without telling Nigerians the true state of affairs in our economy.
Today APC and BUHARI is in the presidency, there is no hope for the economy the preached to have understood before inception, I expected a robust, proactive and resilient approach in agriculture, industrialization, improved local production and purchasing, development of impact youth empowerment programmes to resuscitate the economy, but none is the case.
The serious witch hunting of oppositions in the name of corruption fight has never helped our economy one bit, and many are afraid to invest in the country for fear of government approach.
Too many problems has been created within the last one year, OIL price is not the problem but the management and incapable hands at the economy of this great nation.

If you are given a man who has been killed and butchered can you easily raise him to life? that is what GEJ and past leaders did to the economy you are yelling about before they handed it over to buhari, for you to say Buhari is solely responsible for this I think you are wrong, Nigerians as a nation we are all responsible and for any body to think is only one man that can rescue the situation is also wrong. all of us irrespective of where we are coming from must do something to revive the economy. It is very unfortunate we found ourselves in this situation, those of us who are Christians know the story of Joseph in Egypt when he advised Pharaoh to start saving in the 7 years of plenty harvest. There was a time when the crude oil was selling at about $150 per barrel we did not save but squandered everything including the foreign reserve. Today Saudi Arabia an oil exporting country like Nigeria has over $850 billion from crude oil savings and other sources, is just like any employee who will not border to save but blame his employer. leaders that wouldnt mind to share money meant for the purchase of weapons to fight a voracious enemy wouldnt mind to do anything to destroy the economy.some have arqued that past Leaders should not be blame but I dont know how you can treat a disease without talking about the cause.
