Hmmm! The British are damn smart. And I think this is more of Jagaban's network. Of course, Buhari has no clue of what to do with the economy as he is a real disaster to Nigeria. No wonder the British prime Minister spent more than in Lagos when he came.

But to me it is not good news. We need more factories opened. We must stsrt producing. And it is power disturbing us. We need real cash tied down in Nigeria and not gimmicks. Well, it is not a bad start. Hopefully this regime rolls out fast so that Buhari and his men can go sleep.

Most people making comments do not understand the figures and cannot interprete them. Too many illiterates in this country. Just shaking my head with the comments above.

Unfortunately the old fraud in Aso Rock does not understand that and those who packaged him were aware of his failure in the economy back then.
Are we not in trouble


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

If 84% ($7.1 billion) of the capital importation was portfolio investment, how come this is not reflected on the stock market? $7 billion contribution to the stock market in Q1 should have had a positive effect,... what happened? The market is still experiencing its lackluster performance since last year. Let the propaganda continue.

thanks I was about doing my calculations when I saw your post most Excited about this news don’t even know the metrics well enough.
Small wins are important, however we need them more often than it’s at the moment.

"Where did the investments go" ? You see poor answers from zombies complaining about wailers, no cogent or reasonable reply from any one of them, in other words they too do not know.

Well their questions are not valid and neither is your education. It's all numbers and statistics that you probably won't understand.

You're always looking for negativity in the country so you won't see it.

I've seen mine sha.

People like you will continue to get negativity in Nigeria since that's all you look for.

You find what you seek. undecided

All wailers only like bad news about Nigeria. If Vanguard had reported a 34% loss, you would have believed and get excited too.

People are wicked. They await bad news everyday, if they don't see any they will create it. There was a reported case where some will go carry corpses in murtuary mutilate and put them in open places and claim they were killed by people they hate to see.

Does the purchase of treasury bills count as portfolio investment? Then the increase means very little.

Some people ask; where are the FG achievements? Well, if wailers and children of hate and perdition are of such mindset, unfortunately they can't be helped. We don't have the authority to mix spittle with clay, put on their eyes, and direct them to go to Siloam pool, wash, and come back seeing. Once anybody decides to be willfully blind, no matter what you push in front of his eyes, he wouldn't see. If he decides to be willfully deaf, even if there are thunder peals by his ears, he won't hear.
Enemies of the country will be blind and deaf forever.
No be curse,
Na fact!

My brother, you are a patriot.

You can only wake a man who is sleeping, not the one pretending to be.
