Is that what u do twice daily? If that's ur therapy, who am I to judge as long as it can help u answer d simple questions:

So how is infrastructure developed? Does it fall from d sky?

lexy2014:


The more reason why I asked if u have cured yourself. If u haven't, how then did u intend curing others?

Osyxcel:


Well said.

Then there's insecurity. The progress we had in agriculture has been reversed due to insecurity. A lot of people can't go farm again. So what do you use these infrastructures to convey when there's no output? In the end, we revert back to importing finished/processed products.

What about Education? A yoruba adage says "omo ti a o ko ni o ma gbe ile ta ko ta. Meaning a child that is not well trained will end up selling all his parents properties. Without proper education, coupled with poverty, one person will just wake up one day and start destroying these infrastructures.

What about corruption and lack of maintenance culture? All these infrastructures will probably go moribund in the next few years. And then we'll start allocating scarce resources on reconstruction.

lexy2014:


All u have said hasn't in any way answered d questions I asked or addressed any of d issues I raised:

Is this what u call a comparative analysis based on ur conclusion that "There has been no single President better than Buhari since independence"? I don't see any indices in what u wrote.

In ur number 3 point for instance, what are d figures? What's d reality on ground? What's d living standard of Nigerians since 2015 compared to before 2015? How has d economy been diversified? What has it been diversified to? how much revenue came in since 2015, how was it utilised that made u say "prudent management of economy"?


You have to take every aspect of governance since 1960 (taking into cognisance section 14 (2b) of d constitution), compare every administration since 1960 and mirror against d buhari administration using every single aspect of governance as indices.

CoolAmbience:



I do not expect you to recognize that I have answered your questions.

These things are way beyond you.

You have allowed hate for Buhari to becloud your reasoning.

If you care, do your research on government's earnings from non-oil sectors in the last 15 - 20 years to figure out things for yourself.

Make I leave you...you obviously do not have what to say.

lexy2014:


Oooh...u have a virus? U should have said so since. The more reason why I asked if u have cured yourself. If u haven't, how then did u intend curing others? Is that u in d pix?

U weren't asked to argue but answer simple questions. Is that what u do twice daily? If that's ur therapy, who am I to judge as long as it can help u answer d simple questions:

lexy2014:


Where is ur comparative analysis of d buhari administration with all other Nigerian govts since 1960? Since u did ur research, answering my questions shouldn't be a challenge for u:

Is this what u call a comparative analysis based on ur conclusion that "There has been no single President better than Buhari since independence"? I don't see any indices in what u wrote.

Do your own research.

Stop being lazy.

How long ago was the Itakpe-Warri Railway started?

How long ago was the 2nd Niger Bridge conceived?

Why do pensioners now receive better attention than before?

Why has nothing been done to solve the notorious traffic gridlock on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, such as constructing a railway line until now?

How is Nigeria surviving despite about 60% drop in oil revenue when it is supposed to have been shut down completely?

Who will believe that we will have locally grown rice flood markets across Nigeria?

Megasaucy:




Punch drunk...

RuddyFusion:
Femi is this necessary? How many of these have you written over the killings going on across the country especially plateau, Benue and some parts of SE?

Who are the drivers of the so called infrastructure?
At what cost is this so called infrastructural development?
How has this impacted the economy?
The people that are expected to run this infrastructure were are they? Who's preparing them to manage these infrastructure tomorrow?

calcal:
Peter Obi is very correct.

The zoo is borrowing money to build roads, the bad thing is that contractors are Whitemen. How do you pay back, when there are no industries. No good education to produce quality human beings to develop and work in the industries.

Are you expecting bokoharam members to be refinery operator?

stanluiz:
Invest in education and SME in key to drive a progressive Economy. The forex will get from export from SME will be used to build the infrastructure.

We need to be producing not Consuming nation. Private sector is what drives the Economy. We cannot focus on building infrastructure while we remain a Consuming nation with high poverty rate.

shadeyinka:

Infrastructure isn't what drives the economy. What drives the economy is a sound socio-technological organisation. Roads, Railways, Electric Power etc just like money are simply tools in the hands of good planners and implementors for economic growth.

Poor leadership with no destination will borrow money and spend the monies with nothing to show for it

Zenithpeak:


As much as I agreed with your points, I have a little reservation somewhere along the line.

Do you know it is possible to have those infrastructures listed above and our condition as a people remain the same

Smart people running the affairs of a country would rather borrow money to make their economy stable and strong. Engage people from within and without to come and establish reasonable businesses in the country and also enact good political/socio-economic policies for ease of business.

From the revenue generated through tax and other sources, loans will be paid in tranches, other needed infrastructures will come live and people will have focus for their lives, crime rates will be reduced and insecurity will be kept bay.

Country grows with a deliberate effort and good long term planning. This present administration run foul of every growth indicies.

Ovamboland:


This infrastructure is paining you guys this much, I don't believe it. You will now travel abroad and be snapping pictures on similar infrastructure to diss Nigeria.

Now there's one reason less to diss Nigeria, and some people are so angry. You now have to search harder to find things we don't have at home. Buhari is a bad man to make you have to search farther.

So industries will rush to establish where there's no infrastructure? What sort of sick comedy is this?

aribisala0:

Nonsense Those people who you fail to educate or create jobs for will bomb all the infrastructure
Are they not already stripping the metals from the rail to sell?
Nothing wrong with infrastructure but if a man is starving to the point where his weight is 50% of normal you do not fix that by giving him a turkey to eat in one day.
The level of borrowing now is such that over 70% of revenue is used to service debt .That is not sensible

bunto:
Nigerians and double standard eh!

Before, we were shouting during PDP..,.." infrastructure! We want infrastructure! We want road, light, water..blah blah blah.."

But now that APC is giving us that, we share asking for the opposite again.

Infrastructure is what developed Lagos and south west like this. When you have these basic things, life will be faster. That will result in economic progress.

Ovamboland:


Another nonsense, borrow money to make the economy stable and strong, how? By putting the money on display at a museum?

So industries would locate in a place without roads and power? Doubt you know what infrastructure means.

Are you sure we're not under a zombie attack?

Ovamboland:


The answer to that is to increase revenue collection since we still have a huge scope of uncollected revenue.

The must not be and can never be to stop investing. Better to type up a good chunk of our future earnings to useful infrastructure than keep it intact for some future crook to come and steal it.

The way you people are going it's like you prefer a crook running the country. After all integrity doesn't pay bills not so?
