at this rate and increasing oil price,they will hit 55-60 billion dollars by yr end.that automatically signals end of recession

FeloniousFelon:
And do you see me worrying over Odua capitulation?

I am just telling the conquered slaves that preach one nijeriya that their collective inevitable enslavement should not be used as a motivation to keep nijeriya one.

If una like to be Awusa slaves, we in the better south don't want to be a part of your latest cowardice

A leader like Buhari no matter how honest he is will face a lot of verbal persecutions and condemnation from people he's sacrificing his time to transform their lives for better living standard because eighty percent of her citizens are stark illiterate and five percent are educated illiterate while the only knowledgeable ones among them are less than three percent and the rest are educated bigot. So they will never appreciate him but the minority who understands the situation will stand by and with him because they are patriotic.
I am one of those who stands with PMB.

IN AS MUCH WE DESPISE THE HYPOCRISY OF THE YORUBAS BUT IN A CONFRONTATION WITH THE NORTH THEY CAN COUNT ON US.

It's tragic that this handsome guy with a beautiful family had to pay the ultimate price for the failure of our Government to regulate the selling of drugs in this country
The drugs we take are a matter of live and death
It's not something to be toyed with

All these stories av been going on and on 4 almost 2years; yet no result, so single person been indicted. EFCC trying to distract Nigerians from the current hardship APC imposed on us and the where about of the dull president.

Nigerians open ur eyes; they r just distracting u. This news won't stop fuel from being 145, neither will it stop purewater from being 20naira very soon, or d increase in palmoil, garri and rice to reduce.

Incompetent people. Always dishing out fake news to divert attention. Not everybody believes ur propaganda again.

Give us good governance.
Good riddance.

Nigerians must never forget the past, so as not to make the same mistake.

We elected a Jonathan when we should have elected a Joseph. How can the house of Saul stand when a Jonathan fraternizes with the enemy and waste away to his friends what ought to be his inheritance ? How can Nigeria survive recession that is occasioned by low oil prices, when a Joseph was absent to store grain in the time of plenty?

Jesusloveyou:
see confusion,
You wanted continuity of corruption and you are complaining,
You are defending ineffectual buffoon for stealing and mismanaging 30tr naira in 5yrs,which put you into this suffering and you are complaining of a man that use his company to perform a task for as much as 200m naira.
You also defend saraki for all his corruption,and now you stil complaining,
Cant you see, you are confuse?

owobokiri:
You start as a government by training your population to be productive enough and channel their energy and skills into economic activities capable of impacting positively on the countrys export. Turn your huge population into an advantage and export more,. That's the duty of any serious government. Not to sit on their hands and whine and blame and hiss and point fingers and irritate every soul to no end..

ghettowriter:
I want to witness a day when APC will publish an article without mentioning GEJ or the past administration as being responsible for every challenge or short falls in Nigeria.

PassingShot:
You're lacking in basic economic principles to understand how currencies value is determined.

If not, you'd know and understand that Nigerian Naira was already dead and buried by GEJ and his fellow thieves before PMB came.

If not for PMB, many of you would have actually died of hunger. A simple reference is the fact that 29 states were owing their workers for several months before PMB came. It was PMB who had to provide bail-out funds for those states to save the workers and their dependants from hunger that could have sent them to their early death.

gbollybakare:
Buhari wasn't president when factories in Ikeja began browning off and selling their facilities to churches. He wasn't here when 80% of SME died away and the rest went on life support. Buhari wasn't president when landlords were being watched charging rent in US dollars and stores were selling in hard currency. Buhari wasn't president when wheat farming collapsed and Cote d'Ivore overtook us in Cocoa production. Buhari didn't destroy Iwopin paper mill or ALSCON in Ikot-Abasi, a single factory that at a point brought in 30% equivalent of what we got from oil. Buhari didn't take us from net exporter of oil palm products to lazy importers of the same. Buhari didn't make us importers of petrol and diesel nor is he responsible for killing of the textile industry. He didn't destroy our forest resources or run down power stations like Egbin until only three out of twelve turbines work. People shout policy but there is no policy that can transform a 'post-war' economic environment with the snap of the finger and government should just tell the people that this thing is what it is. Government also has to water down expectations on oil prices ever rising above 55 dollars because it is just not possible in the age of Shale and renewables. This nation is cornered and it has no choice than to reform it's lifestyles and go back to work. It has to reform it's justice system such that it can jail it's thieves and reward those who do things right. We are refusing to allow hardship nudge us in the right direction but prefer to explain our woes as a personal failure of Buhari to draft policy from sheer air. They were trampling people to death on job queues before he came on board. Where are your farms to save you from food importation or your refineries to save you from seeking dollars to import fuel? Where are your schools to educate your children without sending them to foreign universities when you can afford it? He isn't two years in control yet and I believe he deserves a little more understanding given the gradient of the point where he took over. Buhari met all these things that way, plus a devastating war that devoured the nation from a region and we have the choice of working with him to restore and rebuild the country or allow ourselves to get us into false sentiments and allow wolves in sheep's clothings take advantage of us to return us to the years of the locust. ‎

Ceterisguy:
I am not a supporter of PMB neither do I pray for him to die, but one thing is certain, peradventure Buhari dies today (which is common to every living soul), the situation of the country will be worse than it is now under Osibanjo.

REASONS
- Osibanjo is not a career politician and neither is he so smart like Idiagbon to manage the economy of a big country like Nigeria. Remember, academic qualification/prowess is different from Political power. After all, there are so many Professors in the Senate who have never sponsored nor supported any motion in the Senate.

- Tinubu will wreck havoc on the economy of Nigeria under Osibanjo as the later is more of a Puppet to the former. Already, everyone knows his influence in the economy of Lagos State where he holds swear as a demi-god. Remember, Tinubu has already captured Finance Ministry (Adeosun) FIRS (Fowler) and so many other strategic agencies. Imagine when his 'boy' becomes the President. He may even auction the country.

- The North will frustrate Osibanjo the way they did to Jonathan and this will drastically affect his performance.

- The economy is already dead - There is high level of unemployment co-existing with galloping inflation (stagflation), there is liquidity freeze in the economy, there is oil price shock in the international oil market which has resulted in dwindling revenue of the country. Therefore, it will take years and smart President to revamp the economy of the country.

MY OPINION!

tomakint:
Your brand of economics must have been handed over to you by your forefathers and not what our learned Adam Smith, Keynes coined for this modern world. Common sense should inform you that high price of oil is always a major boost to our huge forex reserve. You keep harping on demand and supply as if you are talking to kindagarten kids. What is Nigeria producing that is internationally recognized? Please don't mention oil, I need a commodity or an innovation of course none. Need I tell you that Nigeria is a consuming economy that thrives more on monetary policies of its government and this is where your uncle Buhari lost it. The fact is, Muhammadu Buhari's rudderless monetary policy and not a drop in oil prices is responsible for Nigeria's current woes. Impossible to take a free market economy, turn it into a command economy because one lacks critical thinking capacity and expect different results - no way.
Incompetences, Cluelessness........wrong policies,all these destroyed our economy......no thanks to apc led government. I am tired of educating kids. Demand and supply mostly affects a producing economy more and not as you imagined for a consuming economy as Nigeria.

hinwazaka:
Because at the eleventh hour 2face noticed that the protest had been discreetly hijacked by tinubu and osinbanjo, to force pressure on the northern federal government to swear in that goat, osinbanjo. Once the shephard(2face) was gone, the people decided to stay home. APC southwest is at the moment widely unpopular.

Originality007:
the past has gone there is nothing we can do about it again, to avoid the mistake we made in the past, that why we have to act now. in the past we are too quiet, but now we must voice out.

ifenes:
They are too busy getting irrelevant university certificates but have no idea how to grow rice.

Innovator90:
Not just Buhari, same was the case with Obasanjo, IBB and GEJ. Once an Igbo man earn your trust, HE WILL DIE WITH YOU. EVEN IF PEOPLE OFFER HIM 1 BILLION TO HURT YOU, HE WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THEIR FACE! There is a saying in Igbo " ezeokwu bu ndu" meaning truth is life!

AVISENNA:
Fellow Nigerians, this is coming at heels of the deferred protest Championed by 2 Face.
Call him hero , coward,what ever, the fact remains that we Nigerians are Dishonest.
I just want to ask the so called Nigerians police force if they are given waivers in the market.
Those who want Buhari there ,I just want to understand do you have or get discounts where you trade or shop or are your wards given discount in school.
Why are we Dishonest and brainwashed.

Another group want to march for Bihari, this isn't about Bihari ,it is avout holding the government responsible and accoutable

Buhari is irrelevant and will continue to be because he isn't in control of the situation.He doesn't understand the dynamics of economics.

I am just curious if you were employers of labour would you want this lot to work for you. Looking at their pedigree.

One thing is sure the protest has been squashed ,things will keep going the way it is and we will keep looking for a Hero.

Let us stop leaving in deceit#yourchildrenwillbenext.

Have you ever heard about EiENigeria? I guess yes,all thanks to @official2baba planned protest. EiENigeria is an online platform credited for spearheading the occupy nigeria 2012 protests. As at that time, the then president Goodluck Jonathan advised against that protest on the basis of its political colouration and self serving interests of desperate power seekers,but he was called a clueless and an inept fool.

However,the occupy nigeria protests that was suppose to be a wake up call to all nigerians in protest against corruption and government impunity had the likes of:
Tinubu;El-rufai;Kayode Fayemi,Rita Onochie.
And guess what,do you know who financed that protest? He goes by th name Bola Tinubu. If Tinubu financed a protest spearheaded by EiENigeria,then he dictates to EiENigeria. Afterall,he who plays the piper dictates its tone.

Furthermore,even a deaf and dumb knows that Bola Tinubu has been sidelined in the scheme of things as regards how politics is played at the federal level,he has no say over who gets what, unlike lagos state where he is the oga. Tinubu supported Buhari because he thought he would dictate to him. How myopic.
Even a not so brilliant person can discern that Tinubu wishes President Buhari the worst, judging by the way the latter treated and treats him. The February 6 protests would have been a way for Tinubu to hit back at Buhari and destroy any chance of a Buhari win come 2019.The idea is this, pitching President Buhari against the people to the extent that he stands no chance of winning the presidential elections if he does contest. Even if he does rig, President Buhari wouldn't have the numbers to win comfortably.
I'm glad another self serving scheme from the house of Tinubu was truncated by the government,we truly deserve this wickedness we brought on ourselves.

SouthernUnite:
More of our revenue has been spent in the North than the South since independence and the southern region is responsible for 97% of our Revenue base in Nigeria.


Don't you wonder why the north came together and fought for 3% of Nigerias VAT, 99% of our VAT comes from the South and when Lagos asked for just 1% it was turned down.


Don't you wonder that when people of the Fulani extraction fought for their own local government in Jos, a land they were complete foreigners they were immediately rewarded with it but yet we keep fighting for restructuring and some parts seccession yet we can't address this in Nigeria.


Don't you wonder that Bauchi has stopped selling lands to Non indigenes because there are reports there is Oil there, they don't want non-northerners to own the land so as not to get the oil so there is a complete ban of sale, yet 95% of the Oil wells in the South South are owned by northerners.



Lets ask questions. Lets stop being fooled. we need to unite in the Southern Region, thats the only way we can correct things. We think we are smart by internet wars and insults, afonjas, flat heads ,NDAs etc thats what we call each other, the northerners rejoice at this, this is how they maintain power.



The funny thing is we are the educated ones, the master of industries, the skilled ones, the enlightened ones, the ones that bring the money used by the Nation , the ones who are exposed yet we can't be smart enough to see we need to collaborate.


Since 1960 only 3 southerners have ruled, and these are the times that had the highest recorded growth for the country. Lets be smart.


We need to be United Politically in the South. Its in our interest
