What's the point if a man grows his savings by #1,000 but ends up borrowing #3,000.
Worse part of it all is the fact the saving gives next to zero interest while the debt has a significant interest accruing.

If I go further now, the synchronized zombies may come after me, so I rest my case.

The foreign reserves is stock.of dollars available to finance imports. It is not savings in that sense. Most of Nigeria's external borrowings are for projects which will pay themselves out over time. They are as justified as the GSM companies operations many years ago.

Will a man who has $39B in saving at 0% interest need to borrow $2B at 5% interest. Your critical analysis is tragically flawed.

Yes if such a man has great plans for the future, even China despite its huge foreign reserves borrows money.

Did you ask about Aso Rock clinic?
Why you want open fowl nyansh of barawo bubu and the 40 thieves cabal presidency of the All Poverty Congress, APC
They don't even have syringe, you are asking of equipped. grin

NgcoboP:
..The wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, has followed the footsteps of her daughter, Zahra, by criticising the management of Aso Rock Clinic.

Zahra Buhari had last week taken to her Instagram page to criticise the Permanent Secretary of the State House, Jalal Arabi, for his inability to provide even Paracetamol tablets to the clinic despite a budget of N3 billion for the provision of drugs to the hospital.

Speaking Monday at a stakeholders meeting on Reproductive, Maternal, Nutrition, Child Advocacy and Health and Nutrition, RMNCAH+N, at the State House, Abuja, Mrs. Buhari said she recently fell ill and was advised to travel to London for treatment, but she refused.

“I called the Aso Clinic to find out if they have an X-Ray machine, they said it’s not working
“In the end I had to go to a hospital owned and operated by foreigners 100 per cent

“There is a budget for the Hospital and if you go there now, you will see a number of constructions going on but they don’t have a single syringe there. What is the purpose of the buildings if there are no equipment there to work with?”

“You can imagine what happens across the states to governors wives if this will happen to me in Abuja,” she said.

The Aso Rock Clinic management said last week it was short of funds for major projects and purchases and would demand the commercialisation of the clinic’s operations for efficiency.

I am sorry to say most of you don't have critical analysis skills. A lot of people will take a mortgage to buy a house in essence borrowing beyond their immediate capacity to pay, hence loans are take to undertake purchase that are usually beyond your capacity to pay in one sitting but will be paid when spread over a period of time. Nigeria wouldn't need to borrow if Jonathan had saved his 56% portion of the ECA.

Was Jonathan the sole owner of the ECA or was it jointly owned by the federal government with the 36 state governors and 774 LGA chairmen
Why are you showing your ignorance publicly like this?

Tinubu Tackles FG, CBN On Excess Crude Oil Sales Account
Feb 22, 2001









The Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday joined issues with the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CB N) over the recent face-off between the different tiers of government on the excess crude oil sales reserve account of US$ 1. 8 billion which is about N198 billion.

Expressing concern at the impression being created that the economy is rudderless, Tinubu argued that the central issue transcends the release or non-release of the fund into the Federation Account.

In his words: “The fundamental issues and principles at stake go much deeper. They are more broadly about the rule of law and the supremacy of the constitution on one hand, and the need for cooperation and coordination in a true federal structure, as a basis for sustaining and strengthening our fledgling democracy on the other hand”.

Governor Tinubu [size=14pt]disagreed with the CBN's position that release of the excess crude reserves to the states and local governments, though legitimate, [/size]would lead to inflation; cause a rundown of the nation's foreign reserves; weaken the exchange rate further and run counter to agreements reached with the IMF.

The Governor contended that "in a period of excess capacity and low purchasing power, there should not be undue inflationary pressures from an injection of funds into the economy. Instead, such a development should be beneficial to economic activity and growth, despite the fact that there are supply rigidities and inefficiencies which would limit the potential benefits”.

On the purported likely impact on foreign reserves, Tinubu argued that "in an import-dependent economy such as ours, it is inevitable that an upturn in the level of economic activity would engender a fall in foreign reserves. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Rather, it would be immoral to appear to be building up high foreign reserves in the midst of grinding poverty”.

He stressed further that if the N198 billion released is matched by an equivalent US$1.8 billion, there should not be a fall in the value of the Naira as the supply of dollars would be in place to match any increased demand”.

Tinubu also said it would be unfair for the federal government to agree unilaterally to commit revenues due to other tiers of government, to an agreement with the IMF or anyone else.

Attributing inflationary pressures in the economy largely to the federal government's overspending and printing of money to finance such expenditure, Tinubu said "It is hardly fair for the FGN to overspend and then seek to correct the inflationary effect on the economy by starving other tiers of government of their rightful funds”.

Stressing that there is no basis for CBN or any authority to flout the constitution and deny states and local governments their own share of the Federation Account, Tinubu noted that "the excess crude reserve account is itself an illegality, carried over from the military era, as there is no provision in the law or the constitution for federally - collected revenues to be diverted to such an account”.

Advocating constructive dialogue on the management of the economy Governor Tinubu said "it is time for us to sit down and dialogue about how to move from where we are now, to where we need to get to, while respecting true federalism in fiscal and other matters”.

FG can save because it rather have Nigerians suffer. its as simple as that.


pmb rather have Nigerians pay more for fuel & agric products.


pmb rather ensure that schooling abroad becomes a nightmare for those who are not connected enough to his 'regime' to get dollars at $1-N40...


pmb rather have companies close down than allow them access to funds to do business properly & retain manpower...


the savings have increased because its the only tangible thing pmb can point to, but at what cost?


a government claims not to have funds to invest in infrastructure & improve lives, but makes savings a priority... saving for who?

no need saying anything,you see how the paid agents are rushing to celebrate mediocre.

Foreign reserves and capital funds for infrastructure serve 2 very different purposes; everything isnt elementary logic as you expect. $39bn in the reserves can guarantee Nigeria faster loan approvals at lower interest rates than if we had say $29bn in the reserves; likewise, $49bn will also afford Nigeria more loan approvals at even lower interest rates than what the $39bn could give us.

Once again, external forex reserves and funds for capital projects serve 2 different purposes and shouldn't be compared.
