Osyabj: The economy that was handed to him in 1984 what happened to it. Can you tell me Buhari's achievements since he was born. Buhari lacks ideas but he claims to know it all. Your Buhari did worst than PDP when he overthrew democratically elected government and return Nigeria to military rule which gave room for the likes of Abacha and IBB. 4 Likes |

globe16: Show us your farm so that Buhari can encourage you or you are still waiting for oil money. Wake up , oil is in recession so remove your hope from that sector and look elsewhere. This what Buhari is seeking to achieve from National Assembly thruogh elastic polilies, which will improve turnaround time. |

This is a just a template of some1 with nothng to offer . If he knew he can't rule n provide positive change, why did he struggle for all those years, failing woefully 3 times? Btw, where r u right now?

sekundosekundo:I dont know your age when Buhari took over govt in 1983, but was old enough then to let you know that it was the selfishness and impatient of our father that make the greed overthrew Buhari govt. No condition is permanent, whatever will be good must pass through difficulty. America did not get where they are in their 100 years. Buhari has barely spent 2 years. Allow him. |

I can understand that I am suffering and I am bitter about it. What I can't understand is how some people still join this government to blame the previous government for our suffering that started when this government took over. How much did OBJ meet and how much was crude oil? He still paid subsidy. The economy did not crash. 3 Likes |

Obj was there,yar'adua was there,jonathan was there and they all worked under the same laws and followed the same laws,and were still able to add their own quota to the development of the nation. Buhari is there now but can't function wth same laws and wants and executive bill passed to give him access to do certain things. We never learn in this country. If this bill is passed,it will aid corruption as govt officials would take advantage of the loop holes that comes wth it. What buhari is asking for,is power to break the rules and regulations that serve as controls to prevent crrupton and gross abuse of powers in awardng of contracts and all that,so as to move the economy forward. As usual,this will be hijacked by the cabals in govt and the result will not be palatable. Now,govt assets will be sold within the shortest possible period to raise cash. How would we be able to know if these assets are being sold at the right value,or being sold at a lower value since most of the bureacratic processes would be ignored to achieve this? Will you just sell a govt property based on it's previous value as shown in the company's balance sheet,or conduct a fresh audit and valuation of the assets,before assigning a value to it? We're creating an avenue for future problems. 4 Likes |

kahal29: Thanks for this info, though not a student of economics, I had to go back and read from source because I knew it was very long you couldn't have possibly pasted everythig here. Develeoped countries we all envy today applied this model or theory during the great depression of 1926-1939, during the second world war and during the post world war economic expansion which lasted till the 1970s and more recently during the global economic melt down of 07-08 espeicially USA and Europe. Also a mentor whose books have impacted greatly on me as a lawyer cum business man was strongly against as it lead to creating floating money. Money not backed by assets or better still paper money and sometimes ends in borrowing again . And if you don't borrow or create equivalent asset to back up the paper money on the long run we might end up like Somali and Zimbabwe. Meaning the naira will become worthless. On the issue of selling key government assets, such as the refineries , steel companies, etc, I am for it as this will make them more efficient and functional and will also create jobs. But my fear is this, the same old politicians might end up buying them on government arrangee basis and make a mess of them. Lastly on the Executive Orders/fiat , I am not too down with it, considering Mr. President's aticident. He might abuse it and over abuse it to make people suffer the more or kinda introduce a subtle military regime with it , since this will enable him bypass the extant regulating laws and even the checks by the Legislative arm will be grately reduced. Giving his precedent as the king of the north I am quite concerned. But it all, it's the major and one of the quickest ways to jump start the economy. Good ideal if there is sincerity of purpose. @ the person I quoted, just wondering on a lighter note if I can be your mentee. Learnt some new stuffs from your post this morning as I was prompted to do more readings pursuant to your postulations and came across the word stagflation. Never heard of it before now in all honesty. I will be honoured to learn from you sir. Thanks a lot. God bless. 1 Like |
