THE TRUTH ABOUT WORLD BANK AND IMF In as much as we all know that Leadership deficiency and Corruption Menace have kept Nigeria in the abyss of underdevelopment. However, let us look beyond the figures and vague indices been reeled out by World Bank and IMF. How come it is these same bodies that approached the CBN Governor recently to pressurize him to devalue our Naira that are telling the world that we slipped in Economic ranking when in the same period a crisis ridden Eqypt at the time under consideration was not affected based on their cooked up reports? Look at their Mandates: The World Bank and IMF HEAR THIS: "There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. Th[b]e other is by debt[/b]." THIS IS THE CONFESSION OF ONE OF THEIR OWN (John Perkins is the author of a former bestselling book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman (a true story). This quote was taken from an interview he did which you can view on YouTube). "The fact of the matter is our job was to convince other countries to take very large loans [given by the World Bank], Let's say a billion dollars to Ecuador to build big infrastructure projects: power plants, ports, highways, industrial parks. Things that didn't benefit anybody except the very wealthy people in those countries who were quite corrupt, and we corrupted them, 90% of that billion dollars would come back to the United States to pay for Halliburton, Bechtel, these types of companies to build the infrastructure. |

[size=14pt]Hear another confession of Joseph E. Stiglitz on the WITCH-CRAFT OF WORLD-BANK (in 2001 just after quitting his job at the World Bank) [/size] "As the chief economist at the World Bank from 1997 to 2000, I have seen firsthand the dark side of globalization; , how so-called structural-adjustment loans to some of the poorest countries in the world 'restructured' those countries' economies so as to eliminate jobs, but did not provide the means of creating new ones, leading to widespread unemployment and cuts in basic services, The voices of those most affected by globalization are barely audible in discussions about how the table should be reshaped and show should have a seat at it." No wonder Dr. Susan George once asked: "What is the difference between Tanzania and Goldman Sachs? Tanzania is a country which has a gross national product of $2.2 billion and shares it between 25 million people. Goldman Sachs is an investment firm which has annual profits of $2.2 billion dollars and shares them among 161 partners. That's the world we're living in now" |

You guys are on point. That is why countries in d middle east despise the western culture. It is a mercenary culture. |
Re: Nigeria Drops In World Economic Index by enyojo(f): 6:34pm On May 13, 2011 |
See their grand strategy: Some believe that the Third World Debt is actually UNPAYABLE. Why? When the World Bank makes a loan to a third world nation, a large portion of the loan actually goes to the US corporations and the other large international corporations that are sent in to build the infrastructure that the loan was made for. This means the money of the loan never even goes into the economy of the country that receives the loan. If the debt money is never put into their economy, much less the interest to pay the debt, how can they ever pay it back? |
Re: Nigeria Drops In World Economic Index by enyojo(f): 6:37pm On May 13, 2011 |
MY CONCLUSION: Many third world countries have recently found themselves in debt to the World Bank and IMF. Like all other banks the World Bank creates loans out of nothing, and then when the countries cannot repay the loans it demands that these countries give up their real resources in exchange. |

enyojo: Thank you for not justifying terrorism. In fact, the arabs see Europe and American imperialism as the real terror to the well being of other races. They say western culture is the anti-christ (Dajjal). |

Abeg, I was with you until you used the bad example of Osama Bin Laden. That one is a nutcase. Osama blew up 300 innocent kenyans just to kill a few Americans , and he was not fighting America because of its imperialism, but due to a jihad or holy war. So very bad example iam afraid enyojo: |

Re: Nigeria Drops In World Economic Index by Nobody: 6:55pm On May 13, 2011 |
This is why we should see Gen Buhari as a hero, because when they told him to devalue the Naira amongst other harmful tings for us, he told them to buzz off. Another notable African hero who refused to dance to tune of IMF is Mugabe. |

enyojo: Can you please provide a link to your 'quoted' posts? Please it is really important. Some of the things you posted are really interesting, but then again, we need to guard against conspiracy theorists and theory that are made by air-heads seeking attention/notoriety. |

enyojo: Great Britain received a loan from the IMF in 1976. Greece and Ireland received loans from the IMF/EU in 2010; Portugal received its loan from the same institutions only 2 weeks ago. The point is that countries who don't manage their resources very well end up at the IMF or World Bank. It isn't just 3rd world countries that go to the IMF/World Bank. Also, Both Brazil and Argentina defaulted on their loans in the 80s and nothing happened. Instead, they focused on developing their economies with Brazil now one of the countries with the strongest growth in the world. |

Nigeria needs to up their game in the area of agricultural production and exportation with this their fadama programme, so we can see the viability of having an alternative to our economic generation. Government should invest more in the agric sector to lure the youths into taking agric related courses in their area of learning. |

Kobojunkie: Yes. That is the principle that made the few banking lords become Billionaires while it rendered shareholders and the poor depositors and the vulnerable 'micro' stocks buyers highly indebted and poorer. |
