VULCAN:
Widen the tax bracket of the country with the largest number of poor people on earth......

How mentally lazy does one have to be to present this as a solution?

Transfering the responsibility of development away from the leadership to the poor masses.

Rubbish

ifiokjohn:
You have really found a way to defend Buhari.

Well you said because of crash in oil prices..abeg why after Buhari left in 85, why did things improve immediately unlike when he was there and people were standing on line for basic stuffs like sugar etc?

As soon as Buhari was pushed off power things improved for Nigerians.


Thank God you said the Advent of telephone in Nigeria brought a new means of forex , but you forget that is just one means of forex.. but now doing Buhari time we have social media and others means of getting forex at present than doing obj 1999-2007


Doing obj how many means apart from oil we could use to get forex?
Now doing Buhari at present...how many means about from oil we could get forex and then compare

Horlufemi:
Reno is a Foolish hypocrite Pastor.

Reno said he will never speak on politics again, he's still showing in politics. The man he's fighting for is good friends with Buhari. The man he's fighting for is working for APC, the man he's fighting for is working with PDP, the man he's fighting for is at peace with Buhari and the man he's fighting for did nothing for igboland (prove me wrong)

He calls Buhari a tyrant but everyone who has a contrary opinion cannot share theirs but gets blocked. I've never seen such hypocrite in my life.

Can he compensate for inflation and cube back and meet me?

He's saying Buhari borrowed. The ones that didn't borrow, where are the projects. Please list all the projects that were completed and I'll show you 5x more abandoned projects even the ones that never started especially that 16bn.

When it comes to the masses direct improvement of life Buhari failed woefully. Insecurity, economy, inflation but truth be told he has done now infrastructure than past presidents combined.

Reno is just a manipulative hater and not a Christian the Holy Spirit has left him a long time ago.

I will tell it to his face and he cannot block me in real life he can only kill me to shut me up from telling him the truth.

Nonsense human being.

Reference:


Have you asked yourself how other nations get their citizens to willingly 'pay for things', public services including taxes and levies. Do they put a gun to their heads?

Have you not seen goverments in the west rise and fall on just the back of tax rates. No one in the world wants to pay taxes. And no one in this world I know will be willing to pay for anything he can get free.

So once again how do governments in othe climes get their citizens to pay 'through their noses for stuff'

Think about it. For therein lies our failings as government and as a people.

tctrills:

I don't get it. Was he suppose to provide the funds for the next government?
Or is buhari borrowing all these billions to fund the next government?

benuejosh:
If only Jonathan's government did what was right with our money instead of buying bra up and down.

Notably, Reno, Fayose, Nnamdi Kanu, Fani Kayode and Ortom are brids of a feather. They talk before thinking. No body takes them serious.

descarado:
Reno go siddon.
Always mentioning igboland. What happened to using your state as reference?


We will not fall for this anymore.


We don't want your pity anymore.
Come to think of it,what did Jonathan, your oga govt did for Anambra and igboland in general?

vedaxcool:
Why didn't the same idiots who criticize this complain that PMB is building railway that connects to the sea? The same railway this folks take about have over 90% of its construction in Nigeria but it is the less than 10% that is the focus of this failure par excellence.

A man who stole the identity of a child in the service of thieving administration. That is the sort of man nairaland has given front-page rights.

Timmi:


Yes Mr tctrills you don’t get it. Just think if Jonathan has spend the loans he got on infrastructure such as the rail project, working on the second niger bridge, etc. The current administration will not have to get another loan to work on same infrastructure which Jonathan claimed he borrowed the money to do.
Hopefully you understand it now.

The electoral act that he failed to sign is even what is getting me upset, loans can be repayed, but electoral reform would make Nigerian politics standard and remove money factor

Good afternoon..it's no use arguing with you

I agree with you that Buhari is a bad leader, where we disagree is why he is a bad leader and why Nigerian economy has always been bad. And what needs to be done to change that.

But since I don't agree with you word for word I must be a Buhari supporter.

I don't argue with people who use the No true Scotsman Fallacy

tctrills:

I actually get it. The current administration has borrowed more than any other president yet we have nothing to show for it. How can we defend a man doing a terrible job. Over 21 billion dollars has been borrowed by this administration. Yet life is only getting worst.
If we truly want change, we can't continue to blame Jonathan. True he failed us but it's time to judge buhari a bigger failure and our current problem. Unless you think he is doing a great job.

Timmi:


"In a new document titled ‘status of Chinese loans as at September 30, 2021’, the DMO disclosed that 15 projects were funded by the loans acquired from China. These projects range from the water supply, power generation, railways, airport terminals, communication to agricultural processing."

Above is the reason why I cannot blame Buhari for the so called excessive loan. The loan are spent on projects that will outlast him - generational impactful projects, and not that the money is going to someone's pocket.

tctrills:

I disagree... these loans have little impact but the cost of paying back would have generational impacts. They are not impactful projects. They have not reduced poverty. Increased power generation, and you claim the money is not going to someone's pocket. I am sure even you don't believe that. The lasthe time I checked Nigeria remains one of the most corrupt countries
More corrupt under Buhari according to transperancy international.
Take rice production for example, we have spent billions to become self sufficient but the price of rice keeps going out of hand. Every kobo spent on that sector was a waste. Today, we have the most expensive rice in west Africa. 6 years after the rice revolution.

Timmi:


I understand your sentiments but truth be told, Power generation has improved by at least 25%, the rail project provides a reliable and secure way of transportation not just for people but for goods and agriculture. For rice production and just like anything in Nigeria, the government intervention resulted in increased rice production but since we are our own worst enemy, the government cannot regulate market prices. The government created an environment where rice production increased, short down the borders so as to patronize our own people but the producers are pricing it out of getting it.

ivolt:

Do you know the meaning of breakeven?


We lose nothing actually!

For future sake. Know that losses are only incurred when production cost is more than sales price.
It cost Nigeria 21 to 30 dollars to produce 1 barrel. Let's go with the higher price.
For how many years under Buhari has oil sold below $30 to warrant your loss narrative?

Buhari is borrowing with recklessness because he can. Nothing more.
He doesn't understand the concept of prudence in government.
For comparison, there is no administration in Nigeria's history that can fund Buhari's
extravagant budget regardless of oil price.

Unfortunately, most of his projects can't fund their own maintenance let alone repay
the loans used in funding them.

freeborn02:



Has Buhari borrowed more than other presidents combined? Yes or no?

Is Anambra GDP more than that of Niger Republic? Yes or no?

Does it make economic sense for Buhari to build railway into Niger Republic, while ignoring a Nigerian state?

Your reason is empty

ivandragon:
Pmb is quite simply a bad administrator & has surrounded himself with lieutenants who are nothing more than praise singers...

While borrowing cannot be discounted, a key thing that needed to be done to increase revenue in the short term was to widen the tax bracket.

ifiokjohn:
Buhari is leaving power now and oil price is rising and will rise as much as 90 dollars soon.. but on an average we know Obasenjos time his was 20-30 dollars per barrel compared to Buhari own that average about 50 dollars per barrel. Is that simple.

Buhari build 2 rail way( note abuja-kaduna was Jonathan's) we no go rest. Abeg jhor.

Maybe after Buhari goes, we will need another Obasenjo to come and beg for debt relief.

See bro one of the reasons we are suffering higher inflation is because of the close of border.. that shit haven't helped us in anyway...

By the way do Rwanda sale industrial goods that they're doing quite well than us? No.
Though I know you will call Population as the reason but you forget India has times 5 of our population and they're doing quite well. The year Buhari came to power, between 2015-2019 India pulled more than 300 million people from poverty. That's leadership there.

The Indian govt didn't go blaming past administrations or oil prices or dancing prices( lol I'm joking about the dance) for the amount of poor people in their country or the state of things in their country.

Compare Nigeria to India 2015-2022 and you will see your President and his party are utter failures... Infact, let's even leave India and go to Rwanda, or common Ghana here.

Ovamboland:


If it was that easy why didn't Nigeria diversify in the last 50 years we've been suffering from oil price induced boom and bust cycles?

The gradual investment in infrastructure is the surest path to diversification

LLMG:
you don't have to be so hurtful defending a very obvious failed govt, if what reno said is incorrect all you need do is debunk them with facts. It does not matter whether 90per of the rail construction is in Nigeria, the question is what is the motive behind this, of what economic value is the project to Nigeria at the moment. This administrations bigotry, nepotism and double standard in the face of deadly insecurity can not be forgotten in a hurry

Ovamboland:


And you think the policy and implementations that enabled India pull such huge number out of poverty as all done within one year?

Think again

Ovamboland:

ifiokjohn:
2015-2019.. that is the year ..4 years the Indian President used to pull 100 million off poverty and that was the same year Buhari came in and the same 5 year he spent as his first tenure. How come he couldn't even pull a patry 5 million Nigeria off poverty but instead sent 100 million into poverty?

India President proves to buhari to stop talking and do his work. He didn't go blaming the previous administration for the amount of poor people in India .. he work to pull them off poverty.

Stop defending incompetence abeg
