Took a while to parse your poorly constructed, borderline inane post.

I'm educated enough to know - unlike you - that the conversation Bill Gates tried to spur was about the FUTURE of Nigeria. And investment in healthcare and education NOW is what can secure our FUTURE growth.

Successive administrations have neglected these vital areas, devoting ever shrinking portions of the budget to these sectors. It seems that by pointing this out, I have provoked a response from a cretinous sycophant like yourself.

Try not to die in this level of ignorance. It'd be a waste.

Trump took over an economy that was in high gear with stocks shooting through the roof and when Obama took over from Bush, the unemployment rate was over 10%, but the rate was very low 4% when he left and Trump took over so it was obvious where the US economy was heading from Obama to Trump.


Now, Jona and 16 years of PDP left darkness, a battered and undiversified economy, almost emptied treasury, almost emptied ECA, abandoned projects all over the country and unpaid contractors across the board, grand looting and stealing at every level of government, including Jona himself stealing $2 billion for Dasuki to share with his cronies, nearly all the national budgets under Jona/PDP was recurrent with almost nothing for capital projects..


The saddest part was despite Jona generating the largest earnings in the history of Nigeria, he borrowed from his first year in office till his last week in office.

Jona borrowed hundreds of billions to pay workers salary weeks before handing over to PMB.

So, if the economy was so great under Jona/PDP, why was he borrowing hundreds of billions to pay workers salary?

If the economy was so great under Jona and 16 years of PDP, where are the roads, bridges, hospitals, schools, wonderful health care system or even any infrastructure they built with the largest earnings in the history of Nigeria?

Why are we still in darkness even after budgeting sand stealing $20 billion power funds?

Lastly, Jona borrowed hundreds of billions to pay workers salary in May 2015, the same month he left office, same month PMB took over.

So, what kind of economy Jona handed over to PMB and what kind of economy the PMB met when he took over from Jona? A battered and broken economy that cannot pay workers salary.


Nigeria was broke and Jona was preaching and instituting austerity measures in 2014-2015 when oil was selling way-way more than when PMB took over so, after living under a broke and austere government that was borrowing to pay workers salary when oil was selling for way-way more, why expect to live largely and eat steak and lobster with champaign when oil was selling for $27 when PMB took over?

I just think many of you are just too delusional and grossly clueless, you've lost touch with reality and you have no clue how bad and damaged your country was under JONA.


You lived with grand corruption, darkness and lack of basic infrastructure since independence and under 16 years of PDP and Jona without saying a word, but you want magic and Dubai lifestyle in less than 3 years under PMB. Are you people mentally OK or you just have warped and comical sense of expectation and entitlement?


You people know absolutely nothing about your own country, you have zero clues per the precarious situation you were in

Reno,take time and read the full statement by Bill Gates and stop quoting him out of context to garner support from your IPOB supporters.


As for Ben Murray-Bruce,all us know im problem


BTW,Reno u didn't say anything after Osinbajo showed you the evidence about GEJ that you asked for.

You yourself being a premiere example of the genre, spouting your verbose nonsense as if you had the first idea what you're talking about. As it happens, I am an economist by training, the real kind who went to a real university to study the subject in-depth, which is far more than can be said for you. Could you answer even basic questions from an economics intro course if I were to pose them to you, and even with Google at your disposal?

You are no different from the Buhari you're doing such a weak job of attempting to defend with your incoherent rhetoric: you know nothing, and yet you display greater certainty in your ignorance than those who actually know what they're talking about, dismissing them as "arm chair" while typing nonsense on your Tecno phone from some 2x2 corner shop.

But Gates, while delivering a speech at the special and expanded National Economic Council on Investment in Human Capital in Abuja, suggested the plan got part of its priorities wrong.

“The Nigerian government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies investing in our people as one of three strategic executives, but the execution priorities don’t fully reflect people’s needs – prioritising physical capital over human capital,” he said.

tasteofcash:
he doesnt need to contribute, Bill Gates has done it all. now we know what d international community thinks of Nigeria. pity ur unborn children

Babacele:
I have stopped wasting precious time on these guys but you just can't keep away some times. Okonjo iweala told us in 2014 to prepare for recession when oil was selling at $60/ barrel! The unpaod salaries Gej left behind which PMB gave loans to aid governors offset isn't what we call ' bail out'? Truth is that it would have been tougher than hell if PDP had continued. This Buhari's administration is a divine transition and the next President should be better than him not worse off but fortunately unfortunately , most of the present presidential hopefuls are not good enough.

onegig:


abi help me ask am o. He said Danogte is scared of competition. I stated the numerous countries the guy operates in. He has not stated a single reason why we should join the free trade deal except the usual rhetoric.

Egypt and other northern African countries are there because of the gas deals they can cut. Let me see how you want to push your products into those Northern African countries. Even the Common external tarrifs as stated by ECOWAS that has been existing for decades now we are still having challenges implementing that let alone going on to sign another trade deal without a better understanding of what the potentials or downsides it portends.

The above quotes are sad reflections of your ipobic nature and utterance, all you do is spew ignorant, unintelligent and evil wishing garbage all over the place.

PMB is not my father and you are free to shout, yell and criticize him till eternity, I don't care, what I don't have time for is the typical ipob ramblings, illogical and meaningless rubbish that I can not debate.

BeeBeeOoh:
Bill Gate should first ask Buhari to define what is economics before telling him to improve Nigeria's economy.



Something is telling me IPOB bribed Bill Gate to say this, DSS should arrest him ASAP

And the losers want to chop turkey and drink champagne in 2015 when oil was selling for $27

Today, our depleted foreign reserve is almost back to what it was before crooked and corrupt Jona

Our income generating agencies are generating massive income

The recession Jona and Okonjo promised is slowly going away

Investors are rushing back with huge capital inflow

industrial output is shooting higher, even PMB is busy running around the country commissioning mills, plants, factories and infrastructures

The sky is the limit

Kolo mentality and low-grade intellect Igbos.


Gate's suggestion doesn't fit your current realities in Nigeria.

Sadly, when Jona and his looting and stealing gangs were looting and stealing instead of investing in your poor future, you and your kind were busy shouting GEJ till 2019 and even now, it's Bill Gates 2018.

See ya miserable life

Jethrolite:
He hasn't done that. On what basis can Nigeria be compared to USA. Isn't it obvious Buhari's economic plan is a mess, actually this government has no economic plan. Bill Gates was only being polite when he mentioned there was an economic plan.

He gives Africa humanitarian assistance because he is a philanthropist and an epic one at that. Tony Elumelu is giving out $100m in 10 years to support entrepreneurs and you can see the immense impact with the programme being in its fourth year. That money on the other hand is something Bill Gates can give in a day. When you're working with a charity that has excess of $20bn in endowment, you can do anything.

Nigeria is not the best economy in Africa, we are be deviled by so many plagues but we have population advantage and therefore support large business scalability unlike other African countries. The economy of Lagos is bigger than that of Kenya but Kenya is the biggest economy in East Africa.

The good thing is everyone is becoming more aware and soon the current crop of politicians won't even be able to secure any office in this country.
