Despite the drastic fall in FG income sue to the near total collapse in oil prices at the international market, the FG still managed to check her borrowing, maintaining it at 3trillion in two years! That is absolutely commendable if you ask me.

The question therefore is, how did we end up owing as much as 8trillion under years of surplus earnings? He had oil selling at over $110 pb yet our debt profile (FG) was still on the increase. What logical explanation can President NOI and her vice, Jonathan, give as to why we needed to borrow to pay salaries when oil sold at $75pb?

Don't you have any shame son, if I curse you now I hope you know it will catch you easily

IN JUST 2 YEARS? AND YET THEY PLAN TO BORROW TO FUND THE FRAUD CALLED BUDGET?

THE VEGETABLE HAS FINISHED US ALL IN THIS COUNTRY.

WHAT BECOMES OF OUR CHILDREN, IS IT because THEY HAVE STOLEN ENOUGH WEALTH FOR THEIR ENTIRE GENERATIONS.

THIS IS WHAT AFONJAS HAS BROUGHT ON US ALL BY IMPOSING A DYING VEGETABLE ON US, EVEN WHEN THEY KNEW HE WAS CLEARLY INCAPABLE AND LACKS WHAT IT TAKES TO RULE NIGERIA.

SHAME ON AFONJAS.

I am not surprised.

This is the 'benefit' of being an oil-dependent economy. When oil prices are high, you become accustomed to the 'good life'. When oil prices fall down, you borrow to keep on living the good life due to falling rates.

Usually, you try to save during the years of plenty for the years of lean times (The Book of Genesis...Joseph's interpretation of the seven fat and thin cows is a very good analogy of what is going on). But eventually, your savings run low even during the lean years (see Joseph having to buy the Egyptians in order to give them grain ....) and eventually you HAVE TO borrow.

(And yes....the money we are recovering....isn't enough to cover the losses...especially as much of it is still tied up in court processes.).

The main solution is for this administration to cut subsidies, raise taxes, end corruption, and take loans to aggressively improve power and transport, as well as thoroughly regulate the mining sector....with a view to making Nigeria a nation dependent on what we make to survive....not on oil or any other resource...whose price is high today, rock bottom tomorrow.

Well....in 2013...oil was 110 dollars and above per barrel.

By 2015....oil had fallen to 75 dollars per barrel. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was warning by Jan 2015 that based on trends, whoever won the eelction that year would face hard times.

Now oil is $49 per barrel. That means we are earning 50-60 dollars less than we did in 2013. Based on that, I am not surprised we are borrowing.

And we cannot fight corrupt politicans because we Nigerians love them

More the fault of our economy which has been dependent on the sale of raw materials, and importation of lots of finished stuff from the revenues of those raw materials.

This leaves us at the mercy of

1.Falling prices of whatever resource we sell.

2.Policies of manufacturing nations. A manufacturing nation like Japan, Korea or Germany can devalue their currency. to benefit their domestic manufacturers..and as a result, we need to pay more for the stuff we import

We need to go industrial. No choice.

Efforts are being made to secure more foreign debts and reduce the exposure of the Federal Government to the domestic debt market.

That there is the change Nigerians voted for.

Effort to borrow more. Not effort to get out of debt.

Pavarottii:

SHUT UP! At least fuel was sold for 87naira. Now that fuel is sold for 145naira. Tell me why u av to borrow almost 8 trillion in 2years. Na wa poop. U can support rubbish o.

1.Fuel sold for far more than N87 outside Lagos and Abuja.

2.We have to borrow N8 trillion in 2 years....because

a) Our oil earnings have fallen. In 2013...OIL was $110 and above per barrel. In 2015, oil fell to $75 per barrel. GEJ's govt was already borrowing then in the last few months of its administration to meet obligations. In 2016...oil went down to $29 and now today it is at $50.

That means that Nigeria over the last two years has lost $50-80 dollars in potential earnings per barrel of oil. When the sums add up...that is a big loss

b) Nigeria needs oil to be at $123 per barrel to meet all its needs. That's why GEJ was borrowing...even at $110 the money we were earing was still not enough....and we were still losing lots of oil to oil theft then.

c) Nigeria's problem is our resource dependent economy

1.You misunderstood my comment.

2.When I say we need to leave oil.....I mean we need to stop relying on earnings from oil to meet our daily needs.

3.Paris actually does not put too many restrictions on developing countries....plus green energy could be an alternative source of power for industrial development via 1) refuse to power 2) Nuclear energy (yes!)

4.All in all...government needs to get serious. My comment is actually a critique. I think our governments have one weakness...they think we need to earn money from selling resources...when it leaves you open to damage from price fluctuations. We had that problem when agric was our main earner. We have that problem now with oil.

5.I am criticizing this govt constructively. Not all criticism of govt begins and ends with abuse....solutions need to be proposed.

I don't give a Bleep about politics but reading what you wrote up there, I pray your life changes from how it is to how Nigerian economy is right now since you think Buhari is doing a good job. Gosh! You are pathetic, stupid, silly and an inconsiderate fool.
