As said by a lawyer that has never handled any business before. The only solution will be to tax, tax and make life miserable for Nigerians.
Just imagine if Peter Obi were VP. Someone who with little resources of his state was able to pay salaries, develop the state and even invest the states money in blue-chip companies generating interest for the state in billions. He even left the state as on with the lowest debt profile in the country.

The problem with Nigerians is that they will just speak unnecessary English and end up not communicating. All I read is just grammar.

We can start from using the money from the slashed funds of the policiians. If all politicians down to councillors earn same with civil servants, I bet they will be lots of money to do some of the things he is mentioning.

Funny how most of the commenters on the first page commented without even bothering to read the contents of the message beyond the headline. Our illiteracy in this country is deeper than statistics covers.

Anything short of 50% tax rate is unacceptable.

Sebi una no dey hear? Una go hear am by force.

All those shouting "sai baba!", I hope PMB has called your personal lines for a little chit-chat. If not, can you atleast admit that you are a bunch of losers?

Slow and steady we will get to a New and better Nigeria.
We thank God for the day he gave us this intelligent and God-fearing man as the Vice President of our darling nation.
The best we have ever had in the history of our nation.
May God continue to give him and the President more wisdom, knowledge and understanding as they take our country to a land flowing with milk and honey.

God bless Nigeria.

U think the 125 billion budget for national assembly n 50 billion for the executive can do much for 180 million people ?

This your mind set is the mind set of most politicians when they go their they see we are broke

A governor gets 5 billion a month ...4 billion to pay civil savants ...what can 1 billion do for a state in a month

Ask ur self ...how much tax have u paid compare that to how much u benefit

Just like the Vice President said, no country can survive economically without diversification. Until now, the food we consumed were virtually imported, thank God for the relentless efforts of the present administration to make Nigerians remember farming. Agriculture is the way to go.

Talking about thinking out of the box ,osinbanjo most u use word that seems u don't know the meaning, Buhari government is the only that don't think out of any box .
