I pray all keeps getting worse so that their brain will reset.

I want oil price to go low as $5/barrel or less. Exchange rate to go pass $1=#600 so that we trading btc and working as freelancers can make huge monies after exchange.

Nonsense, as if I have ever benefited from this govt ever.

Let's learn how to make money and leave them to their misfortunes.

Time to trade Bitcoin & get some good profits.

I need just 10 people to join me with 100 euro each to get massive monthly profits from trading. Each investor will get as low as 100 euro profit at the end of each month guaranteed.

I made 74 euro profits last week & I have been making it weekly with just 500 euro capital.Quote post to start investing now.

Our members have started getting good profits already..
You are praying for doom on a whole country because of the chicken change you made trading btc..??
Can your 75 euro profit cater for your needs and that of your extended family before they starve to death..??

Very unfortunate.

This is the more reason we need to save for the rainy days.

However, enemies of the state have been keeping night vigil praying and fasting for a fall in national income so that Buhari and his family will starve to death, I think their prayers are gradually being answered. In their foolish view, a boom on the economy has little consequences on their lives because Buhari refuse to be sharing money house to house. Clowns.

Rather, they have been very prayerful for American economy to rise since that is the country whose economy has direct impact on them.

Let's wait and see how Buhari and his family will eventually die of hunger. I have never seen a collection of human beings with such degree of foolishness. [/s]

Glad you agree that you have no PROOF except insinuations and assumptions.

Pls list he loans for us and we can tackle each one at a time. Where do you think the govt is getting money from to finance all the capital projects that they have going on int eh country? When there's a shortfall in govt revenue, where do you think they will get the money from to compensate for the shortfall? Is there a country in the world that doesn't borrow? The US is the biggest borrower of funds in the whole world. Their next loan is 3 TRILLION dollars loan planed for this month. Capital projects take time to materialize, a rail line can take many many years to construct even in the most optimum situation. 4 years from now, most Nigerians will be glad with the level of capital project been undertaken right now.

The cost of PMS is the lowest in Nigeria and Angola in the whole of Africa. Just because oil is now selling for 10 dollars does not mean that the fuel you are buying today was refined from a 10 dollar par barrel oil. Oil is sold in FUTURE CONTRACTS- Which means the oil you are using today was more than like agreed to about 3 to 6 months ago. If the price of oil keeps going down and down then yes the price of fuel will also go down some more.
The sad part is that we have some many people that have been to school, but most lack the ability to seek facts, they just hear rumors and they take is as facts.
Oga clap for yourself, since you believe this government is great let's leave it at that. Even procurement specialists in the country agree to the waste that goes on from contract inflation.

I agree with the oil futures part, let's see where prices will go 2 to 3 months from now.

The scammer they tried to sell to Nigerians in the last election has been sacking his employees, left right and center. People who couldn't manage abundant resources want to mange scarce ones!

Thank God that we have Buhari( man of integrity and good pedigree) as the president of this great country in this challenges time.

The scale of the looming financial crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic has been revealed by Minister of Finance Mrs. Zainab Ahmed.

The Federal Government, the states and the local government councils have lost massive projected revenue which will affect their plans for this year.
Many states may be unable to meet their critical obligations, including payment of workers’ salaries, following the huge reduction in their revenue inflow from the Federation Account. The states expecting to share N3.3 trillion this year will not have more than N2.1 trillion.

The councils, which were projected to share N2.5 trillion will not get more than N1.5 trillion from the Federation Account.

The Federal Government’s share, which should have been N4.8 trillion will now be N2.4 trillion which is 50 per cent of the expected accruals, the minister explained.

She spoke during a citizens dialogue in Abuja, organised by the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning in conjunction with United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID).

The seminar discussed Nigeria’s response to the fall in oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cut is in projection of revenue expected from oil and gas, Customs, and the Value Added Tax (VAT, she said.

According to her, the projected overall inflow into the Federation Account in 2020 is N8.6 trillion but what is expected now is N3.3 trillion.

The Custom’s projected revenue of N1.5 trillion has shownix to N1.2 trillion, VAT has gone down to N2 trillion from the targeted N2.1 trillion.

The worst-hit is the oil and gas intake which has dropped drastically from the projected N5.5 trillion.

The Budget 2020 oil price benchmark was set at $55 per barrel. The projected was review downwards to $30. Now it is going further down to $20 as oil prices continue the free-fall in the international market.
The other panelists were Prince Clem Agba, minister of State, Budget and National Planning; Mr. Ben Akabueze, director-general, Budget Office of the Federation, and Lade Jaiyeola, chief executive officer, Nigeria Economic Summit Group.

The minister of state said: ”We also expect that from about June, the States might begin to feel the effects of low revenue coming from oil and, therefore, might be having challenges in meeting up with obligations, especially the payment of salaries. To mitigate this, certain steps are to be taken.

“Of the $2.5 billion facilities from the World Bank, about $1 billion of it will be going to the States as loans. These are concessionary loans. Mr President has already approved N850 billion loan from domestic capital market.

“He has also approved $150 milion to be taken from the Sovereign Wealth Account in support of FAAC.

“We are also looking at suspending deductions in respect of the budget support funding which was provided to the States as a way of easing (burden).

“So, discussions are on with the CBN as to provide moratorium on the deductions in respect of the bailout loans.

“Already, N10billion has been given to support Lagos State; we also have additional provisions to cover the remaining 35 States and the Federal Capital Territory.

“We will ensure that about 5 million homes that are off-grid are provided with solar system. This is being driven from the Ministry of Power,” he stated.

“We are also looking at job creation for the youths. You are also aware that Mr President approved a thousand people to be employed within each local government. There are 774 local governments and this translates to 774,000 jobs across the country. This is going to be for three months starting from October.

”We are also providing additional financing to the Humanitarian Ministry for the cash transfers where one million additional household are being added.

“We are also providing support for small businesses, MSMEs, in order to ensure that jobs are protected and ensure that more jobs are created.”

He said that the Aviation sector would be assisted to stay afloat.

According to him, “We are also looking at how to support the Aviation sector. Like you know, a lot of planes are parked and this is causing almost N21 billion (loss) on a monthly basis. We are looking at how to provide some form of bailout support to ensure that the industry doesn’t die.”

NIGERIA AS A NATION HAS BEEN LIVING IN SELF DECEIT. Not now, certainly not but right from Independence in the 1960s.

NOBODY WANT TO CREATE NATIONAL WEALTH.

STATES IN NIGERIA GO CAP IN HAND BEGGING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR ALLOCATIONS.

STATES IN NIGERIA DO NOT WANT TO EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF REVENUE IN A PRODUCTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE MANNERS.

States in Nigeria depends 100 per cent on money sourced from Niger delta crude oil.

Thanks to the Good people of the Niger delta region they use their crude oil to foot the bills of the government of Nigeria which they are still doing as at today with even the fall in the price of crude.

IT IS ABOUT TIME NIGERIA GOVERNMENT DIVERSIFY THE ECONOMY FROM CRUDE OIL BASED TO AGRICULTURE.

Let states in Nigeria work hard and contribute to their own development instead of waiting for the socalled "FREE MONEY"

Nothing has really changed. We are still where we are. When Nigeria gets a president that is ready to work to make the country great, the impact will be felt clearly and you won't have to stress yourself to see if the government is working or not.

Nigeria with 200m people has more poor people than India, a country of over 1 billion people.

Should Nigeria as a resource rich country be borrowing to fund infrastructural development? Why can't we pay with oil, mortgage our oil directly to fast track development by 10-20 years, no contract scams.

Do you know the $23b that was almost borrowed had a consultancy fee of 40% and the FG was planning on a similar loan by Q4? A nairalander was the one who pointed it out to me. What was the consultancy fee charged for the almost $30-40b Buhari has borrowed to date?

Let me just do what I can and leave the rest.
