How President Buhari Plunged Nigeria Into Economic Recession-ngozi Okonjo Iweala by BraniacX(m): 6:01am On Jul 31, 2017
Nigeria’s former Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala has said President Muhammadu Buhari’s unguarded utterances was responsible for plunging Nigeria into recession.

“I still find it funny that most people don’t know why Nigeria economy went into recession, they love the incompetent lies of Lai Mohammed about the past government ruining everything.

“It’s also myopic to think that if Jonathan were to still be in power, we would be worse off.

“The truth about Nigeria’s recession is this; it was caused by the president’s unguided rhetoric and uncultured body language.

“Firstly, there is nothing we are buying today that we weren’t buying 5 years ago, therefore it’s not our purchase that put pressure on Naira but withdrawal of funds by foreign investors.

“After the election, the president created instability with his unguided statements about how everyone is corrupt and how everyone is going to jail. The instability made foreign investors to liquidate their investment and change their money to dollars.
In the process of trying to flee, they were willing to buy dollars at any price, which lead to high exchange dollar rate.

“Even though some of them were not ready to run away, but want their money in dollars to save their investments from devaluation, the president gave a bad signal by banning deposit of foreign currency into dormiciliary accounts.

“That was enough for free market believers to see the draconian handwriting on the wall, that was the beginning of dollar rush.

“To make matters worse, the president came up with another outrageous policy of rationing dollar to certain sectors and blocking many sectors out. That was the nail in the coffin which facilitated the emergence of free FALL.
In the end, foreign investors took over $80B out of the economy within a short period and everything went down to free fall.

“To those who believe it will be worse if Jonathan is still there, you are all wrong. Policy continuity and political stability will not let billions of dollars leave our shores within such tiny time frame. Even though the government might have income shortage, the private sector will weather the storm by their confidence in the market.

“The fear of the unknown created by PMB is responsible for the economic downturn not low oil price. Interest rate in America is currently at 0.5% while it is 12% in Nigeria. JP Morgan Chase will not mind borrowing $50 billion from Feds at 0.5 and put in Nigeria for return of %2000 profit. Citi bank will do the same, likewise US Bank Corp. Chase gave Buhari warning about the repercussions of his fixing policy before they pulled out, but his illiterate cyber warriors and misseducated e-soldiers said JPMORGAN can go to hell, they no longer believe in economic metrics since their messiah is in charge.

“Funny enough they are all suffering today because of the stupid policy, but they find relief by blaming it on past administration and Gucci appetite of average Nigerians.

“For your information, if your president “continues” with his unguided rhetoric, Naira will go down to N1000/$1. But we thank God, he is no longer talking.” she said.

Our recession didnt start when oil price fell, but when buhari pegged naira at #198, meanwhile its a pity there is no blueprint on how to get out of recession, instead our governors are busy spending scare forex on fruitless trips to london.

Ngozi didn't say those things. They are just a figment of the writer's imagination. She could criticise yes, but not with such gutter language.

Even the diction itself is very poor.

What the hell is "unguided rhetoric"? Even at the bottom of the article on the main source, the writer appended "#copied" and NO REFERENCE was made to where it was copied from.

Very fake thing.

OGA is your head correct? this is how wicked souls like you defend buhari despite his glaring incompetence and destruction of our economy.

How can a sane man defend evil due to political affiliation or sentiment? that is evil and wickedness in totality because people are dieing daily from the worsening economy as a result of buharis bad policies.

Very much on point.

Infact, even the headline is thought provoking.

NOI may criticise this administration but certainly not in those motor park language.

No little professional analysis, no restraints, just raw. Or do they think everybody is like Fayose? Okonja Iweala is more professional and intelligent than this nonsense even if she wants to condemn this administration.

I can't even employ Buhari to be my manager let alone voting for him to be my president. What does he know about economics. A dropout that can't even write his name. All his achievements has been through propaganda, deceit and manipulation. He joined the Army through the back door, he became the Head of state through the back door and became the president through lies, and propaganda.

This puff-puff cheeked world bank house-girl and fraudster who helped Goatluk Jonaddaft and his gang of 40 thieves to loot the nation dry is still talking. So, it is Buhari's statements that made Diezani to steal and hide billions of naira abi na dollars in different accounts all over the world. Ir is is Buhari's statements that deposited $20 million in Mama Piss Sheppopo account in Skye Bank. It is Buhari's statements that stole and hide $9.8 million in Andrew Yakubu's family house in Kaduna. It is Buhari's statements that that hide $1 million is AVM Olusola Amosu fake soak away in Lagos.

Recall that you useless Economist was already borrowing money to pay salaries before you looters were booted out even when oil was still selling at average price. As at the time you thief told us that you were borrowing money to pay tax, your fellow thieves were looting the borrowed money. We can all still recall that the devil's younger brother Olusegun Obasanjo paid all Nigeria's debt and even left about $67 billion in both external reserves and excess crude oil account before you thieves looted all and started borrowing for your generations unborn.

Definitely this puff-puff cheeked world bank fraudster is mad.

Fake news!

This exact report was circulated almost a year ago, now the verbatim report has resurfaced again as fresh news. And of course it's always stupid blogs that circulate the story. $80billion was taken out of Nigeria indeed and Nigeria still stood (Buhari must be a magician thwn). Story sounds as silly as the $90billion Diezani fable.

NOI would never use half of the words used in that report. Dunces keep originating dumb stories to masturbate on...

Same story released in Jan 2017 by mumu blogs:
