No human being can soothe poverty nurtured for 14 years in 4 years - Onochie by fergie001: 3:23pm On Aug 17, 2019
The belief by some Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari would wave a magic wand to mollify and make all their problems disappear in his first term, was shattered when the World Poverty Clock, created by Vienna-based World Data Lab, stated that about 91.16 million Nigerians were living below a dollar a day in February 13, 2019.

This was in consonance with the hypothetical conclusion of the former British Prime Minister Theresa May, who said that Nigeria had become home to the largest number of very poor people in the world, putting the figures at 87 million.

Her words, “Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live below $1 and 90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation in the world,” the UK prime minister had said.”

In June 2018, the Brookings Institution projected that Nigeria had overtaken India, as the poverty capital of the world, with 86.9 million extremely poor people.

In view of these unchallengeable statistics, some Nigerians have gone to both traditional and social media to submit their consternation, noting that Buhari should do something to change the living condition of an average Nigerian.

Captured by their statements, the social media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, Saturday reeled out reasons why Buhari could not placate poverty in his first term.

She said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presided over poverty in Nigeria. While Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, of same party inherited Poverty in Nigeria from Ex Pres. Obasanjo, before, President Buhari inherited at least, 14 years of poverty in Nigeria.

However she noted through her tweeter handle that “No one can wipe Poverty that was entrenched and nurtured for 14yrs in 4 years”.

Recall that Buhari in his first term campaign promised to;
Maintain sound Micro and macro-economic policy environment, and run an efficient government and preserve the independence of the Central Bank;

Restore financial confidence in the citizens and the world, by putting in place a more robust monitoring, supervising, and regulating of the financial institutions;

Make our economy one of the fastest growing emerging economies in the world with a real GDP growth averaging at least 10-12% annually

As at 1999, Nigerian rate of unemployment stood at about 8%, today it is estimated from official statistics to be close to 30%. I will embark on vocational training, entrepreneurial and skills acquisition scheme for graduates along with the creation of Small Business Loan Guarantee Scheme to create at least 5 million new jobs by 2019. A Small and Medium Enterprises Development Commission will be created for this purpose. I will also encourage State Governments to focus on employment creation, by matching everyone job created in the same state.

Integrate the informal economy into the mainstream and prioritize the full implementation of the National Identification Scheme to generate the relevant data;

Expand domestic demand and will undertake associated public works programmes to achieve this goal;

Embark on export and production diversification including investment in infrastructure; promote manufacturing, through Agro Based industries; and expand and promote sub-regional trade through ECOWAS and AU;

Make Information Technology, Manufacturing, Agriculture and Entertainment key drivers of our economy, by reviewing the present reward system, which is based on certification, to that based on skills, competencies, and performances;

Balance the Nigerian economy across regions by the creation of 6 Regional Economic Development Agencies (REDAs) to act as sub-regional hubs in order to promote healthy regional competitiveness; Put in place a N300bn Regional Growth Fund with an average of N50bn in each geo-political region; to be managed by the REDAs, to encourage private sector enterprise and to support places currently reliant on only on the public sector, to migrate to a private sector reality”.

I don't get PMB & his minions...

Nigeria was in the doldrums as at May, 1999 & PMB has always being actively involved in contributing to the worst economic situations Nigeria has found herself...

Be it involved in disappearance of $2.8b in the late 70s;

Truncating democracy & Crippling the economy between 83/84-85;

Been actively involved in making Nigeria a pariah nation between 93-98 with his overseeing of ptf;

To being clueless about the state of the economy at present...

So poverty trend should continue because the dullard inherited it? Guess he understood Nigeria multiple problems before seeking for office of the president?

Just as Femi Adeshina was comparing the number of deaths under Buhari & Jonathan. sad All the asslickers of this clueless and moribund govt are always stupid in glorifying their ineptitude/gross incompetency.

Loretta's brain seems to be in a state of prolapse or relapse.Which government nurtured poverty more than this current one?Which government created recession with unpleasant economy policy that led to departure of foreign investors in droves?Where were we 6years ago and where are we now?Are we better off or worse off or are we in abundance or scarcity?What are the outlooks of our development and economy indexes?It only fool that uses his mouth more than he uses his mind.

How about making poverty worse? What excuse do u have for that?
After 4 years u are still singing this stale song instead of listing out ur achievements.
Nobody expects you to solve all Nigeria's problems in 4years. Just list ur achievements so far so we can independently verify same.
What do I know? If ur supporters don't see this as an insult to their scant intelligence, I wonder what else they will see.

You are right!

Lawmakers wanna lavish 5.5bn to purchase cars despite the fact that they drive cars worth millions of naira?

A civil servant who has served meritoriously for good 20yrs can't boast of common 1993 Nissan Micra

Many Nigerians are struggling to survive yet the government think the best way to help them was to impose crazy tax on them
