manny4life:
We're here arguing about devaluation which in my opinion isn't the problem, our economy is gravely affected because we lack inward fiscal directives. This is as a result of our political and ethnic differences, if different states are allowed to function on their own without handouts from Abuja, we wouldn't be asking ourselves what can we export. Nigeria is richly blessed in all sorts of human resource, financial capital, mineral resources, raw materials and what not which we can't even develop let alone export, and we're talking about devaluation. Until we change our process from a consuming to a producing nation, IMO, devaluation is NOT the solution at this point. Let's talk about devaluation when we get it right first.

Let buhari champion constitutional review, let him champion resource control and the decentralization of power. Give Nigeria ten years after that and see how it would blossom to a world economic giant.

Whatever buhari is doing now is a cosmetic effort to groom Nigeria, Nigeria has corruption problems but I think they have more structural problems than corruption.

Sometimes I wonder why these politicians would never think towards there. The federal government would believe that doing these would cede power to the states which they would not want to

jmichlins:
am happy people are getting enlightened about our economy. The day the president devalues our money, he will lose my support. We still have many things to import especially power, machines and man power

I don't support buharis style of leadership Buh I think I support his stance on devaluation. Devaluing wouldn't help matters or make things better than it seems.

from the moment you start receiving bailouts from these stupid European nations, you are doomed forever ask Greece.

my reservation is these "thiefing" politicians

jmichlins:
Comparing nigeria with russia is not only stupid but height of foolishness. What do we export to earn the $ apart from crude oil? Our banking sector are on the brink of collapse and it seem devaluation which will leave them with lots of almost worthless # then what next if not borrowing from IMF and her partners. Believe me the worst has already happened and we survived. No power, no fuel, high inflation what else are we expecting to see. Many states have problem paying salaries with the current minimum wage now imagine what will happen when we devalue and NLC seeks more salary. Strike action will cripple what remains of the economy. How then can we pay for the loans that IMF and her partners will give us

simply put we continue with the status quo, I don't trust the west, they are crooks, many nations of the world that are challenging em economically ignored western advice and are doing well on the world stage, look at Iran, China, Russia and Libya under gadaffi

Jimi23:
This kind Wole Soyinka e get as e be.

hahaha this got me giggling real hard

sometimes it feel ma heart with pains to know and see that ma kinsmen support impunity and corruption.

Every history of this man proves he greedy raping the economic benefits that should accrue to his people. How on earth would we justify saraki wealth.

he is a thief, chukwudi44 is a paid anumpama that would do to the bidding of his masters, no one should take him serious. this is a faceless forum

I support Adaure4ever on the need to scrap NYSC, tho am a beneficiary of NYSC Buh its high time we scrap this scheme and project one that would benefit the average Nigerian.

I suggest paying off graduates 300,000 naira after learning entrepreneurship skills and keep them under the watch of a ministry that would ensure proper utilization of the funds for business. By this way we build and support SME's( which remain the bedrock of suscessful and developed nations).

More than 200,000 graduates are churned out annually who at the end not up to 5% get jobs. these graduates are not trained to create jobs, Buh to look for one.

call it reshuffling or whatever, the former NYSC nigga is paying for his sins.
So much for national integration

Quakertellicus1:
Government gave licences to 21 private investors to develop the refineries you seek.

Alright I agree with you, remember this private investors are business men who invest to make profits. have you for once asked why they never took Nigeria serious ? because we are operating a subsidy regime, no serious investor would take investing in Nigerian downstream attractive, the reason the past government wanted to remove subsidy. we play politics with our future in Nigeria

mesoprogress:
Sorry sir, our economy will continue to dance for a long time unless crude oil prices rise. It's not rocket science, we are an import dependent country with less dollar to meet up with our purchases. I'm pretty sure you may be printing more bills to meet up with national recurrent debt as well. With these two, inflation is bound to happen.

Simple things that can help - strengthen infrastructure! Remove roadblocks in our regulations! Build a formidable road network , we have all materials needed. Decentralize electricity production and distribution, build multiple micro turbines in flow stations where you flare gases, small rivers, allow easy contribution from private investors. Encourage building at least five Modular refineries in each state. Support ingenuity of Igbos, make a very conducive environment for them to manufacture and trade easily. They are your only hope of breaking free from oil dependence!!!

the area you talked about decentralization of power got me, sometimes I ask ma self whether we have leaders really that can think outside the box. We are in Nigeria suffering fuel crisis when we can develop modular refineries on a short term within six months and avert fuel crises we have been suffering for ages.

No way buhari nor his minsters can think towards there. Mark ma words if the government in the centre can champion resource control, decentralization of power, believe you me in 10 years Nigeria would be a better place

OKKO:
Eyaaah the former DG NYSC was a refined Administrator but he matched the red line when he suggested "prohibition of Hijab for female corps member inside orientation camp" as usual all the muslim right group reacted quickly and called for him to be posted out of NYSC.

The yoruba man was sacrificed for the merriment of the owners of the nation. He was replaced by the right person " a believer"

was about to say that, you took that outta ma mouth. there are certain proclamations you can't make against the north or even Muslims else you are a gunner. Ask odumegwu of Population Council when he made an unguarded statement against the north.

Just like Tafawa Balewa said, the southerners would forever remain slaves to the north as much as country continue to exist.

Take it or leave it, call it a routine maintenance Buh to me someone is paying for his sins. we know how the thing goes in civil service, military and paramilitary, Na redeployment Na e sure pass

Vikkie14:
The killings by the Killer-Cattle-Rustlers/Islamist Cattle-Herders of the Agatu's in Benue is part of the Bow bending. And don't forget that when you shoot finish, the bow is going to straighten-up--Karma never forget. Muric or Munich--whatever you called yourself, you did not deem it fit to condemn the ethnic cleansing in benue and the one done on your "brothers-in-religion"--the shiites--they are your enemy though--like you thought, but on GEJ issues, you rise up like an hungry poltron in the jungle of congo and starts telling us poems like a kid that just got to lagos. Hypocrite.

honestly till date it still baffles me why any of this our Fulani warlords who call themselves our politicians have not come out to condemn the supposed genocide not to talk of to put proactive measures to ensure it doesn't happen again

Phestosuah:
U see! at times, some principles are better not applied to some standard.
Imaging a country or a situation where I don't have to spend up to an hour to get a scarce commodity supposed to be made available by government or her regulations.
And pls, do u really mean to take bike from Ikeja to lekki?
Thanks for taking time to reply...
I promise u to step up my games in a decent manner...like subcontracting such to available coy... Or calling them to take off some % and allow me to commence the biz d following day.
These are my expectated feedback from my dear NL Society.....
Don't have to do it in hard way cos am in Lagos or i want to be successive with my first trial.

Lol @ supplying akara!!! Don't despise any biz at all bro.
Imaging when passion is mixed with packaging for akara biz in Lagos, am sure more than 100 homes in Maryland will want me to do morning delivery for dia breakfast with my akara warmly delivered... I don't need more than 10 bycircles and riders with two frying dish at d back of my rented apartment...calculate 100 house by 500naira akara for 10 days in a month...(itt may not be everyday delivery ).bro, that's abt 500k in a month.... Oya! Minus beans,oil, seasining , gas, 10k per rider for a month for morning and evening delivery..…..see Profit,
Am only saying akara biz deserve respect unlike the way bn refered to by u.

you don't have to blame the young dude, some people are not just wired to struggle even tho they come from an impoverished home. Maybe I have to blame the churches who always preach and teach prosperity instead of salvation or would I blame religion who has taught their followers destiny, that what will be will be.


Mistakes are bound to happen, that's for sure Buh I want the OP to learn his lessons and never to repeat them.

One love

Akshow:
That's my presido. Wailers can keep on wailing. they will swallow their vomit when we start enjoying the benefits of your journey.

the goose have finally come to roost., I remember months back when you guys were very plentiful, liking sharing and defending posts on issues on buhari. then a typical post supporting buhari can get 500 likes.


unfortunately you fellow zombies have left you Akshow in the cold. the few other zombies like ngeneukwenu, passingshot and the rest of em have gone rogue. they don't come out openly to defend their globetrotting master who spend the so called scarce resources in globe trotting around the globe with heavy entourage, they only like and share now.

Repent now why you have the chance, prior to the elections TonyeBarcanista had a vision and cross carpeted sharp sharp as a confirmed ijaw boy and since then he has been dishing it like its hot to the zombies. sometimes I imagined how tireless it would have been for him to be defending this silly government.

I don't support any party but I hate all Nigerian Politicians cos all of them are rouges, they are there to collect what they can from the system, so you think tinubu, Amechi, Wike and the rest of em stupid politicans have our interest at heart ? If anyone tells you he is in government to help the masses, look him in the eye and call him Linus else you are so gullible that you can differenciate between 1 and 11.

hahahaha politicians are criminals, I am happy cos now saraki must have been regretting why he engaged in a political fight with APC. right now he is politically dead.

with this drama am sure his influence in kwara politics will reduce and in national politics. with all these revelations am sure nothing for him on the federal level

iykepromotions:
Don't worry, the offer is not just for you. assuming it's your's they will wait or give you more time. better offers ahead. #moveon

lame excuse for gullible lazy minds you can't think out of the box but claim to be religious.

I blame the OP, fuel scarcity ain't an excuse more especially comparing the years and effort he has put into making his business a reality.

buying black market was an option no matter the price, using public cab was another ( explaining to the client why you have to use a cab would be understandable) Buh you slept in the station wasting valuable time and energy and still were shameless to post it up here. Haba bros.

Next time seize your opportunity cos this is how life time opportunities are being missed.

it was these same idiots that were shouting prior before the elections that with falling oil prices that pump price should be reduced. (at that time PMS was 97 and oil per barrel was around 60) Gej reduced the pump price to 87 and the APc clowns berated the government for just removing 10 naira.

Now we have oil price at about 30 something dollar per barrel about half the price of what it used to be when Gej reduced the pump price they berated, the best they could do is to reduce the price by only 30k.

Common sense should have it that if price was 87 when barrel was hovering around 60 dollars, now that barrel is hovering around 30 then pump price should be around 44 naira or so. that's common sense, Buh the clowns in government would make Nigerians pay for sins they've committed.

I hope the review is not going to be an upward review.

shachris02:
but your oyedepo does that.

Bros to be honest, I am one of Jehovah's witnesses. We don't dabble into active politics. The oyedepos, mbakas, muokas are all a disgrace to Christianity.

These are the ones Jesus call workers of lawlessness, because they have left the work given to them to amass great wealth for themselves, teach their wards distorted truth, preach only prosperity instead of teaching salvation.

They get involved in silly scandals and still claim to represent God. they make political prophecies, like opening the gates of hell for people who oppose their candidates political desire.

Mehn Nigerians, this is just a leak, for every leak there are several still hidden.

Saraki is a confirmed rogue; politicians in this country are richer than Dangote, the only problem being that they hide their assets around the world to save face.

if all these hidden and stolen wealth were invested in this country, it would have made a difference at least

shachris02:
Mbaka speaks as the Lord directs and i've never known him to be a coward. Be sure to hear from him whenever the Lord directs him to speak.

gullible soul, yeye speaks as the Lord directs, if your god mbaka was from God he would never dabble into politics, he would use the pulpit to declare Gods message of salvation instead of partisan politics.

gebest:
Lord Jesus Christ pls have mercy on Nigeria and deliver us from this captivity, we ve a good leader that met a bad economy, pls turn our economy around for the better, this i pray in Jesus name-amen.

"A good leader" who is outdated, who came into a bad economy and remains clueless to how to steady the economy. The Nigerian crisis of today is not worse than what soludo fought in 2005/ 2006 during the world recession. Let's not keep lieing to ourselves. This dude is below average

Hakeem3:
See how u just sold out ur manhood just because u wanna support one big female thief.... Brother sense is what u nid at dis time of ur life... What Buhari can do or rather what Buhari is diezani plus her husband ar not even close to .. Blackman and their poor mentality, they can never know what is right until it's too late ..but all is knw for sure is time will tell and u will realize Buhari is truely a selfless leader of dignity..

Bros calm down, selflessness is one thing, Bros being a leader is another. Your president ain't a leader and would never be in a million years, the old dude has no leadership qualities, the only good quality he has is been a miser, not for himself but for the economy.

The dude is a senile disappointment, I wonder how he is building for a future he ain't going to be there to enjoy ( Kill the messenger, Chris rock)

Azsalami:
Truely bad lesson will come before the good time, no matter how hard it is.
#i_stand_with_buhari

bros your signature says you need money and unfortunately you are a staunch buhari supporter who stand with buhari. Added to ur pains is that you stand with the dullard only on blogs and faceless public forums like Nairaland. Bros when you stand on the queue waiting for exorbitant priced fuel, Buhari dey there with you ?

May God help us in this country, anybody telling you that things must get bad to get better is a serial lier cos that ain't the truth

shii like this can happen, Buh the worse of it all is that the body language of this man (buhari) is that he just don't care. Nigerians can cry to sky heavens, he bloody don't care, you know why ? 2019 is such a long time, they are busy fabricating campaign promises they would sell to gullible idiots that I share the same country with.

This man doesn't care, his tactics of governance is out dated. No where in Nigeria has it been established that government does better business when compared to private business. Buhari should hands off from business and hand it over to private and then regulate them. He shouldn't make Nigerians suffer because he wants to punish the marketers that he thinks are pro PDP

as your dude who wants to make fun of everything, did you add more millionaires.

Stupedinluv:
You make me shake my head in pity!

If the article was talking about a man refusing a slut you would aplaud him but here you are saying a stud is a stud. Speaking lightly of something evil. No no and no

I would not encourage philandering, every man should respect himself.

I refuse to be used! Thank u!

sorry if what am about to say hurts your emotions, please accept my apologies.

most times women claim "holier than thou" attitude, they claim to be saints while in real life they are hoes and b'tches.

You refused to be used, how many crushed relationships have you been into, how many of the guys whom you dated in the past had seen your pants? how many of them are you still into now? answer this question honestly and you would see that you have been used severally.

Lemme tell you the truth even tho its going to be a bitter pill, most ladies like you end up with the wrong guys, I mean the staffers, those who cares only to get under with you, why because you don't know what you want. I acknowledge firstEva for saying the truth and acting up matured, this is a faceless forum I agree and commend her for been outright and straightforward.

Stupedinlove is only but 20 and would date people of her age bracket who are not ready for matured relationship, so what else do you think they would be doing? nothing else but sampling themselves

Any idiot that comes here to shout wicked mother but has paid for or has committed abortion is as wicked as this wicked woman.

We humans are hypocrites more especially Nigerians. you would count one in every ten ladies in Nigeria and you would count one in every 20 guys who has paid or coerced his girlfriend into committing abortion.

Both are serious sins( abortion and the throwing away of babies to die) and Gods anger would surely blaze against those who engage in this practice

OnankpaBa:
The problem we are having in naija is patience. We all want Buhari to do magic when the treasury is virtually empty. Why not call on the problem and the root cause of naija.

idiot when will you have sense, which treasury is empty ? Na you empty am ? Abi Na part of the lies they still give to gullible fools like you.

No treasury is empty, for every litre of fuel you purchase the government make a profit of about four naira since the landing cost of fuel is less than seventy seven naira. multiply that by 40 million litres consumed daily.

For every money received into an account , 50 naira is deducted and paid to the government multiply that by about ten million transactions done daily and get the figures.

this is irrespective of the money generated from oil sales, VAT, FIRS, and the rest of em.

you need to wise up, stop following this politicians stupidly and foolishly, buhari your lord is in the US getting first class treatment while your stucked up in your shithole of an apartment defending him sheepishly.
This is 2016 bros

alagba333:
:PHmmm. Dss or police detention is nt a good place for honourable men...so its beta to fleee dan to go, suffer n be rewarded wit a car gift

hahaha this is plain hilarious, got me laughing seriously.

Aufbauh:
I weep for the good people of Ekiti state whom Mr Fayose and his Co brigands have turned the state to the headquarter of discombobulation, thus has sacrifice their mandate on political histrionics. Smh!

**** I see how hypocritical you can be, your signature says you love a just society, when the federal government is hell bent on destabilizing a state because they view the governor as a political enemy. what is the change to what Jonathan did with amechi and the river state legislatives. I thought the fake APC saints came with a change mantra to change the way things are been done.

In any sane climate there must be an opposition, whether they like it or not. Let them quit the goose chase and provide the dividends of why they are elected

cheaper standard of living : Ask any unbiased southerner who lives down north and he is going to tell you that to survive is very easier in the north than in the south, like the town i live now, I still bike for as low as 20 naira, get food stuffs as cheap as whatever.
The prices of food items (except those gotten from the south) is cheap since they are majorly farmed and produced down here. Housing is cheap ( I pay seventy grand for a well tiled room and parlour self contain that is within a polytechnic enviroment) bills from the government is low e.g NEPA. Sometimes I think the government cheats southerners by making them pay more in tarriffs than what their counterparts down north pay.
In summary life is cheap in the north.

Reduced corrupt practices: Believe you me there is reduced corrupt practices in the north than down south. I schooled in one of the state polytechnics in the east and we paid through our nose for virtually everything. The lecturers sold their textbooks( copied from the internet) and their handouts for astronomical prices and mandated us to buy them if we were to pass. There are fees demanded from students by both teaching and non teaching staffs for services rendered. Some can attest to the fact that people sometimes pay hundreds of thousands to get admission into some of these premium universities in the south and still get f**cked up and their money gone.
Buh down north, it ain't the same, I don't exonerate the fact that corruption ain't in virtually every sector of Nigeria but the nefarious ways that lecturers collect and rip their students off ain't popular down here. Any body trying that shii must really have a serious backbone or you're gone for good. No body plays those kinda games here else these mallams report you to their brothers.

Cultism: cultism is reduced here, refresh your mind and reflect over the years how many violent cult clashes have you heard emanate from the north over the years. The truth is that cultism is greatly reduced and cases of people coerced into cultism is negligible unlike in the south where cultism are on rampage in majority of our institution raping, maiming and killing their victims

xender:
5 - boko haram : we nor no if dem don finish

hahaha that's funny buddy, Buh trust me that's should be least of your worries as far as you ain't schooling in the north east.
