stubbornness!!!!! and you are dying, some people are really very sick, when people are dying out of hunger , some can not afford to go to hospital and has lost their life in the process,am not saying govt should sell off assets but his stubbornness is really the cause of all this and not JONTHAN ,his policies are all bad and he does not want to change them or invite the best hands to manage our economy, we have soludo, pat utomi ,okonjo iweala etc,this are people other developing countries consult ,why not make use of them

My own suggestion before was that they should even sell 100 percent of NLNG. I don’t think government should be in any business of investing in sectors of LNG.


•Government should not be in the business of building factories, but just collecting taxes

idupaul:
Selling NLNG is a solution alright but one that will help the Federal govt in the short run and help Dangote and Co in the long run.

If we dont starting producing as a nation, we are doomed. America and Theodore Roosevelt tried everything during the great depression but nothing worked then luck smiled at them when war broke out in the rest of the world. Germany, Russia, England and Japan were at war spending all their human and material resources to execute the war while America refused to join the war till Japan bombed Pearl Habour. It was the need to go to war that saved Americas economy as people got jobs in the defense industries that sprang up overnight and people who had held no jobs for close to a decade were suddenly drafted into the army. We need a miracle folks cos Russia, venezuela and Angola are all facing the same crisis but compared to us, what is Angola's population? We need what the second world war did for America.

kingmekus:
you were actually making sense,not until you brought up this your blame games it was then I realized you were actually empty.

And to think that those of you rabidly defending the clueless clown did not benefit from his looting and mismanagment?
SMH

rusher14:
Just say you want to buy.

You want the NLNG be sold for 15 Billion Dollars that some people in government have in their back pocket?
Has it occurred to you how they got the money in the first place?

There are many times I agree with Dangote but this isn't one of them.

Businessideas:
We ain't selling NLNG. Rather bring in more competitors like government is doing with the refineries. Dangote isn't a saint when it comes to how we got into this mess. He's among the major financier of the pdp and got returns on his investment even at the detriment of the nation.
Our primary reason for getting into this mess was because GEJ government stole the nation dry and made no investment or saved up for the rainy day.

Go read again.

He mentioned no individuals, but powerful country.

Businessideas:

I disagree sir.Truth is sacred and no amount of intimidation to stop us from putting the blame in the right quarters will stop us. How has blaming Jonathan stopped Fashola from getting the job done with electricity generation that has greatly improved, how come the blaming of GEJ didn't stop federal government building the trains, roads, paying salaries, getting MTN to pay the fine, arresting the economic saboteurs blowing our pipeline,curtailling Boko Haram like the last sallah we had no bombing,among the great job the current administration is doing?
Everywhere we turn is a sad obscene reminder of the locust years of GEJ. We and the current leaders will blame and blame the corrupt administration of GEJ,GEJ himself and his generation of corrupt political/military appointees. This is posterity judging them harshly and it will be a deterrent to others who may want to toe the dishonorable path of GEJ to remember that we will never forget their ills.It is in the interest of those killed by the corruption of the last GEJ administration that we hold GEJ accountable. Truth can not be hidden.

idupaul:



Your Moniker is business ideas but ironically your business sense is very myopic..Please tell me what Job Fashola has done ..has he added a single megawatts he added on ground? As I speak there is nothing special happening in the power sector infact i still make do with about 6 hours of light on the best days ..And please Mr Business ideas can you tell me how the MTN fine has helped Nigeria ..for you info that fine did more damage to the economy than good ,it made many of the companies including MTN expatriates billions of dollars out of the country in the wake of the ridiculous fine and guess what MTN still did not pay the fine and instead sent President Zuma to request a negotiations which they ended reducing from 5 billion dollars to a paltry 180 billion naira to be paid over 5 years and guess what dull man its you and I that will pay that fine from phone calls ..try and open your mind bro

dunkem21:
Why not lend the money to Nigeria and collect back with small interest to show patrotism

winnah:

Take it o leave it I agree with him. He is right. It's all about th country to boost her reserve sell off those toxic asset. Then use the proceed to boost our foreign reserves.

badman007:


A potentially Powerful country selling off its powerful assets to powerful countries. Fantastic key to power! Clap for yourself.

rusher14:


But is the NLNG a toxic asset?

winnah:

I will say "yea" to an extent. "Ask me why" because it's not yielding to its purpose. What is toxic asset? It's an asset who's value has fallen significantly. Brother please let's be realistic, any firm, or establishment that is under the control of government is bound to fail or mismanagement most especially in our country Nigeria . It's way more better in the hands or control by the private entity. Use America as a reference point. We glamour that we have liquefied natural gas yet we haven't taped it to our best advantage. the government is incompetent to manage this sector so let it be run by the private. It just my own observation.

ayobase:



See this one.

I culled out to you the point you missed cos you refused to read and understand, and here you are ranting.

badman007:


I refused to read and understand? That's the problem with the likes of you, you like to read and swallow everything hook line and sinker. I pray you'd grow up one day and learn to think for yourself and ask questions.

Mbok, would you sell your car to buy petrol?

let's start with selling police then other thing can follow
