Exactly.
I said it then, people were saying I don't understand economics, that borrowing to fund infrastructure drives growth. I said how will borrowing to build train eg to maradi will develop the economy? Why not cut expenses manage and the save money to use to fund infrastructure. Exactly what Obi did in anambra state?
Even if we wanted to borrow. Take the money to build petrol refineries. Afterall it is said fuel importation takes all our foreign earnings from crude exports.

When goverments in other climes borrow to fund infrastructure in hard times as a tool of general economic development they target specIfic industries that EXIST and are functioning but have probably fallen on hard times. These infrastructural investments do two things, they help lower cost of production making them more competitive and secondly they create direct jobs where the infrastructure is built by local enterprises or by direct labour.

But when your borrowings are for frontier, exploratory businesses where you have no experience, no track record of successes and on top of that the expenditure is essentially offshore such that materials, men and means will create all the jobs overseas then where is the benefit.

If I wrote a proposal for a loan to establish some high flying business which I had very limited knowledge or experience in when I was employed and earning good salary, that could be considered as risk averse, But if I then lost my job the risk of borrowing to invest in such novelty increases astronomically and it will be better I either wait to get my personal financial situation sorted first or I borrow to invest in what I do know, what I presently do and what guarantees me success.

As a matter of fact no right thinking bank will lend me money for an exploratory, frontier business when I have no income or just scratching for a living. And that is why it is only the Chinese and their cohorts that agreed to give us the money for this sad journey of financial misadventure we have undertaken this past six years. They just do not care about the welfare of the Nigerian people, and that is because they are not a democracy, their own government is a pseudo autocracy where no one cautions them.

The railway has no immediate economic benefit, we have no track record of success in it and its deployment holds scant benefits in job creation or small business stimulus, so why pay top dollar for it when we were in recession, leaving like you say the more important investments of refinery re/development which will have saved the six and a half trillion to be spent on subsidies this year and over 20 trillion spent since 2015.

Where have you seen such madness practiced anywhere else in this world.

I do not understand. commercialized, privatized. was it an NGO or a charity organization before?
Have fuel subsidy been removed and who is paying the subsidy if it is still in place. Are they still the sole importer of PMS or have the right been quashed by the government? Were they giving fuel to Nigerians free before that they have to turn around and commercialize it as you said.

NNPC is still NNPC but it has new owners who shares the profits and pay government tax and dividend as a share holder.

You are very ignorant if you believe the president can change the current sharing formula. It is beyond the powers of the president and only a constitutional amendment can change it. Stop forcing your clueless candidate on us. Tinubu for President 2023

$35million dollars depleted to a little above $300,000 in less than one month?

They’ve used sharing formula to finish Nigeria.

You see why sharing formula must be replaced with production formula as is being canvassed by Peter Obi?

If we retain the killer sharing attitude of those we elect into offices as it is today, Nigeria might be declared insolvent.

Please, you are not doing this for Peter Obi but for yourself, your children and your children’s children…

Vote Peter Obi.

When other countries r benefiting from the high cost of crude oil due to ukraine-russian war, e come be like say na our country them dey use a s battle field.
Akpabio was bragging that Niger delta is noe peaceful, he didn't let the dumbo president to know the cause of the peace. We now have more militants sabotaging crude production than before.
Those militants the Gej govt gave contracts to secure oil installations at a more profound fee was cancelled by buhari, Noe the same boys are wrecking havoc in the creeks with connivance of Nigerian security personnel...

How is that commercialization. Government pays subsidy to it firm NNPC to still do what they have been doing. How do government pay them the subsidy? will it be through NMDPRA or central bank or is NNPC paying itself subsidy from crude oil export. Note that they still have the sole right to importation of fuel. So this is not commercialization. It is transfer of wealth from government to individuals.

Government want to commercialize NNPC, It only need to allow them buy and sell like other marketers and sustain it staff from profits it makes. this will result to cut in wastage and mismanagement.

But you know that can never happen. That is why they are still the sole importer of fuel and exporter of crude. That is not commercialization. What government has done is give them free hands to manage the resources the gain from crude oil export and that is not good.

What this statement means is that nigeria as a country does not have any shock absorber.
It can't withstand any emergency shock. The future is scary and not rosy.
It menas a drop in crude oil price at the international market will instantly have a reverbrating effect in nigeria, no emergency funds to cushion the dollar demand/dollar supply shortage which means another round of massive devaluation not so far in future.
Any fall in revenue generated for the country, be it drop in crude oil price or drop in oil production for whatever reason, it will be a massive suffering.
Politicians are bad managers and are not meant to manage a country.
I don't know who set-up countries to fail like this.
We all know no reasonable company will use politicians as the management of their respective companies, so why are we using that model for countries?

I had to read and reread the figures many times because I thought I was reading the figures wrongly or that the Op wrote it wrongly. WTF!!! How can 37 million become less than 400k in a space of a month? Just how can? And we still have people especially the youths still wanting to foist these sharing-formula politicians on us. When Peter Obi was reeling out figures and statistics in stating that the country was going broke and couldn't survive sharing anymore, many people insulted him and branded him the statistics man. I hope you all can see for yourselves now. This isn't coming from Peter Obi and like he has always opined we cant keep on sharing. We need to move from a sharing to a production nation
God bless Nigeria

ECA was about $75million not too long ago,it dropped to $35million and miraculously dropping to just above $300k in one month?The only thing that can cause such a drastic financial depletion is corruption.Or maybe they have used the money to "buy" weapons at Kuje prison so as to run away and leave the weapons for terrorists the next time they attack the "correctional facility" again.Nigeria is dead and in a grave hole,na to use shovel cover am na'im remain.
