The governors acted the way they did because the Federal Government at the time was making a lot of unauthorized spending from the revenue we were earning...hence the lawsuit.

1.Automotive was good....but the problem was that at the end of the day...we were importing pre-fabricated car parts and assembling them in Nigeria....another means of wasting foreign exchange.

We did the same thing in the 1970's. Solong as we had enough forex....we could assemble cars cheaply in Nigeria. When oilrpcies fell in 1982...and forex fell....it got difficult to do so...and car prices went up. (A 505 Peugeot assembled in Nigeria cost N12000 in 1983. By 1990...it cost N800000)

It would have been better if all the car parts were made from scratch in Nigeria. Good for our balance sheet....and enables us to be an exporter (Innoson should make that his goal).

As for Agric.....Agric is like oil. Prices rise and drop like oil (Most African countries that rely on agric are even more broke than us.) Plus....GEJ was only successful in improving cocoa production....cotton,palm oil,groundnut and beninseed ....zero.

In my opinion, Buhari...and his successors...should focus on getting us industrial

Can we industrialise without heavy investment in massive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education?
No.
Buhari and his APC party, even in Lagos have a negative record in education for all.
So.........?

see your problem, they have made you believe that the issue is price of oil, hiding their cluesslessness,

The mistake you people make when you read my comments .....is that you think I am defending pmb.

I am not....I am merely stating that he has a hefty job to do......and he is not doing it right.

Only way for Nigeria's economy to improve is to get rid of our reliance on oil....and go industrial...which guarantees self sufficiency and more revenue for our economy than oil can provide. And jobs galore.

I won't go further except you explain to us if Nigeria is the only one affected by fail in price,

Russia, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are all affected.

Russia is losing jobs, Saudi Arabia is in panic mode....they are already raising taxes....and of course...Venezuela is in dire stratis.

And in the oil producing parts of the UK and US....jobs are being lost. and economy is being depressed.

Mind you our benchmark is below $50 so From the current oil prices simple mathematics should have made you understood that we have excess funds also add the trillions that they have recovered from looted funds as alleged


So you do admit our economy is oil dependent! Hey!

But that $50 is not what we need. Nigeria needs oil at $123, Russia at $99 and Saudi Arabia at $70. That $50 won't earn us much money at all.

That is why.....if you read me clearly....I am saying Nigeria's problem ultimately is our dependence on exporting resources whose prices we do not control. Like oil!

Here is a good article explaining how it works. Written in 2004 by the way!

And i still remember vividly how many Nigerians were chanting "Sai Baba" sometimes last year while calling one other guy from the south south "Clueless Jona-daft"... Just look around we country now,, wetin deh happen? grin

APC = Change!
PDP = Change de Change!

And all this happens only in Africa's most populous nation. Why?

Don't be quick to talk especially when you have little knowledge about trending issues, i work in the maritime sector between 2005 and 2007 over 10,000 dockers were relieved of there jobs, am most certain you are not aware, now these government is discouraging high level of importation and concentrating on export and the whole sector is been restructure people come to cry hell and castigate PMB, at least for once
we understand what the govt want even though its telling on the citizenry, but never forget no pain no gain...am hopeful we'll get there.

That 20 shipping companies closed shop and 3000 workers retrenched, is not my anger.

My anger is that some deluded brainless fools will still come here to rationalize on how this govt is the best ever. Best govt and companies are closing down?

One of their argument would be that the companies pulling out are owned by foreigners and that their exit would pave way for establishment of similar companies by locals.

Then i ask them, is it where the white man with his developed and critical brain, failed to survive that a Nigerian with a head full of pounded yam would thrive?

Where is NgeneUkwuenu. I swear that girl has no Igbo blood flowing through her veins....

When will u people stop all these useless nd irritating assertion. Where did u put the civil responsibility nd civil right of whom to vote nd to be voted forIt baffles me a lot wen I see some people being sentimental here coz yer choice was voted out massively in Aso rock.

Everybody is feeling the heat.you don't need to accuse a voter coz he performed his civil right. You cry or sing the same song till tomorrow doesn't change the fact that PMB will rule till 2019.

I get where your coming from and your right, but it is frustrating knowing we chose to go backwards rather than forward, considering the fact that this guy has once ruled as a former head of state and we experienced a period of hardship before IBB did the needful.
so at the end who do i blame if not the ones who voted him in.

i will start with the later, why do you need oil to survive when you have multiple options in terms of natural and human resources.

Why do you need oil at what so ever price when you have people ready to invest in converting raw materials to finished goods but Can't afford your interest rates or the cost of running business due to your policies and multiple taxation.

Why do you need oil to survive, when they are other countries doing well without oil reserves?

Democracy is not all about the power of incumbency. Incumbents can be voted out....with a lot of hard work and a lot of alliances.

APC won not because they were the better alternative,or because PMB was more intelligent...but because they made the right alliances, and they did not give up.

The new opposition can do the same too.

The length of time it took ds APC government to set up a cabinet and other principal officers could have set any developing country on the path of recession. To further worsen the situation, it took almost forever to pass 2016 budget. It was so bad many Nigerians had to resort to prayers who have never prayed before. Given the length of time it took to appoint ministers one would have thought he was going to appoint angels only to find the likes of Dalung who should be in a motor park working as a minister. Nigeria is a big joke.
