You being a very wise man think that the best way to run and grow an economy is to run after thieves for over one year while the economy crunbles?
just like leaving your gate open to chase thieves from your compound.
Running a country takes more than chasing thieves & perceived political foes.
Other African economeis that borrowed GEJ blueprint are still bouyant while we wallow in self deceit in the guise of fighting corruption.
What has been lost in nigerian economy due to incompetency in managing the economy in the last one year is more than 10 times the $2.1 for which dasuki is being harrassed. As we continue to crucify Dasuki what step have we put in place to prevent repeat of same offence.

Stop deceiving yourself and lying. There is no GEJ blueprint. The man is a fxxcking fisheries zoologist. There was even no Okonjo Iweala blueprint for that matter. If there was we would be self sufficient. Buhari is too small to destroy refineries, factories, good agriculture, good power supply, national airline, LNGs and other things if they were actualky there. Nothing was DONE by Jonathan in his six years in power. The ool price was high and they were circulating money and recording phantom growth.
STOP lying to yourselves and face the truth.
You are importing fuel, you dint have electricity, your universities are shit, you eat imported rice and there is no job for young people. Stop mouthing off about "blueprint".

Meriekriss:
As Fayose asked, so why the need to borrow??

You can help by telling us where the money is hidden. Believe me Nigeria wont borrow if we can recover all loot

What inferiority complex, hopelessness, despair and lack of vision would make a young man admire Fayose?. Nigeria's youth is finished. An unintelligent politician, election rigger, thief and brainless thug has become role model.

dustmalik:
Fayose should provide evidence to his claims

APC told the US not to sell arms to Jonathan's government and the US obeyed. This is another insult upon Jonathan. Anytime you try to defend Jonathan he appears even more weak and clueless. Jonathan also did not buy Russian weaponry but had to do deals with Ukraine and Belarus companies as if Nigeria was an arms smuggling terrorist organisation instead of a sovereign respected country that could approach governments for deals.
Jonathan was just not astute enough to be President.

Has anyone even noticed that it is foreign media now that is giving us the true position of Nigeria's war on terror!!

Nigeria Media only publicises attacks made by the Nigerian Military and not by Boko Haram!!

Its only Fulani herdmens attacks that Nigerian media reports and even Fulani attacks have been removed from Nigeria's Media Space - because Baba Buhari wanna dash them grazing reserve as part of his promise he gave to fulanis who crosses the chadian border to collect voters card to vote him in!!

Giving Nigerians the illusion that the war against Boko Haram is over meanwhile it just got worse - I will explain why it got worse in a minute!!

I am guessing nobody has heard the new case of mutiny again raised by the GOC Div 7 against soldiers who were abandoned in the middle of nowhere, in a town they liberated but were now under seige from Boko Haram!! Hoping they would be airlifted out; only for the GOC to come in with helicopter and start chausing the soldiers and issuing threats!!

Also, has anyone noticed that the amnesty agreement - between the FG and ND Militants - is systematically being torn up by this government; in light of the resumed hostilities taking place in the Niger-delta against both oil installations and towns believed to be the homes of perceived militants!!

Everyday, outside media reports!! Former militants are picked up and locked up everyday - all in the name of man-hunting tompolo - who happened to be one of the critical actors in demystifying/exposing the structure Of MEND.

Already the Vice-President is calling for the Military to raise a Quick Response force that will be on ground to battle active militants, while the military is still taking hits from a technically defeated Boko-Haram in the North!!

My opinion!!?? Buhari was foolish and undiplomatic in handling Niger-delta affairs. If he is willing to spend $1.5million on importing grass from Brazil to build a grazing reserve for Fulani - that are killing farmers who own the land without mercy - why not continue to pay the Militants fees who are in school abroad till they finish their education and then they are on their own!!

Instead you stop paying and asked them to be sent home, then you go after the points man of amnesty deal in the person of tompolo - that Yar-adua extended the deadline for the surrender to amnesty by one month just to make sure he was enumerated within the program - and you expect oil and power generation levels to be normal!!??

It is unfortunate that Nigerians do not fully appreciate the level of high-handedness and uncharitable and undiplomatic atitude of this government because of how they (ab)use the media!!

Else by now, people will be calling for another change or a revert to status quo!!!

My friend , you are posting rubbish here. No state condones the rubbish you are describing here. What is high handedness with terrorists and militants?. They are supposed to be force fed bullets upon bullets. Don't give me the oft repeated " it does not solve the problem"..heavy hand does solve belligerence. Algeria, Morocco, Jordan, Holland, Saudi Arabia and Germany, they hit terrorists very viciously, swiftly and secretly. It is no surprise they have been very successful in keeping away rubbish .

Joel3:
and the wastages continued, buhari just wasted 2 million dollars tax payers money on China trip as it was reviled no deal was signed in China.

this statement made many to wonder if bubu actually thumbprint on the deal due to old age as he can't use a pen.

is there any different from PDP and APC when it comes to wastage. ? and if there is. who do you think waste more?

Please stop posting rubbish. Only childish minds will call a trip from Africa's largest economy to the world's second largest economy a waste. Do you guys know how governments function at all?. If you want to criticise Buhari, do it intellectually.

Even if Buhari went for tourism, would the Chinese not bring up serious favourable deals and present on the table?.

Please get serious with your life.

All childish criticisms are degrading the quality of opposition in Nigeria. People are beginning to notice that Murray Bruce is at a higher level than Fayose for instance. Buhari says he has garnered 6billion in new investments, there are big infrastructural projects that they finalised and we also suspect that secret defence deals and arms procurement were also negotiated . China has devalued it's currency and needs to continue conquering markets especially for its steel. Nigeria needs infrastructure and arms . This is not a joke.

Flexherbal:
This man should mind his business.
All we need now, is how to get out of this economic hardship.

Of course Trump said nothing of the sort. Trump is too busy struggling to get delegates and avoid the ambush his own party is planning for him at the convention. There is no source, the news is fake.

This is a very evil prophet.

adconline:
A position he campaigned for since 2003 and it still took him 6 months to form a cabinet full of Politrickians.. He's still learning on the job. Never ready from day one!!

He should have even taken longer. Nigeria's system is broken. We had many ministers for power for instance but Buhari met a country in black out. There were many petroleum minsters but the first thing they embarrassed him with was 2billion dollars owed to marketers . All refineries were down and Nigeria was bleeding 3billion dollars momth.
You don't know what your brother did to Nigeria 's economy.

Navier Stokes is powerful for anything fluid

If APC fails, Nigerians will vote for APGA and KOWA. This glorified Fayose thug thinks the den of thieves will come to power again. It is never, ever going to happen. The people who will destroy PDP are already planted inside it at various levels.
PDP is very dead.

iblawi:
if China devalues the yuan it will still be in our favour. It's just like saying US is devaluing the dollar.

dollar.[/quote]China has already devalued and Nigeria is enjoying it. They have a glut of steel to make railways and heavy construction projects like dams, roads and bridges. This relationship was made in heaven

AntiIPOOP:
The school cert holder has done what a PhD holder could not.

Very simple economics. We buy most of our goods from China, so why must we pay the Chinese in dollars? The Chinese buy a lot of crude oil from us, so why must they pay us in dollars?

So PMB made a deal with the Chinese. We pay for the goods we buy from China in Yuan, the Chinese currency. They buy our crude oil and pay in Yuan.

The exchange rate is to be pegged at 30 Naira to one Yuan or RMB.

So how does it favour us? Simple.

The Yuan is now 6.48 to a dollar. So if you pay 30 Naira to the Yuan, that would be equivalent to 194.4 Naira to the dollar.

Since the dollar exchanges for 199 Naira, you save N4.6. 199 - 194.4 = 4.6. Simple, huh?

In simple terms, PMB has just strengthened the Naira by 9.15%!

And that's not the end of the story. As we begin to deal in the Yuan, the demand for dollar would plummet and this in turn would weaken the dollar. It would crash to around 140 Naira to the dollar.

May God bless PMB.

China wisely devalued their currency many months ago to make their markets in the third world more competitive. The low value of the Yuan is also very good for Nigeria.

onojaduru:
Fayose is fearless

Please dont be stupid.

TANTUMERGO007:
fayose is now the VOICE of the MASSES

This guy wants to destroy the masses. It is good to pretend sometimes that you have IQ but what you wrote here is dumb. China is not "helping" with a loan. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement and Nigeria is known to be one of the most under loaned countries in the world only because of low tax Base and poor IGR.

This is a childish and amateurish piece from Max Amuchie. China gets nothing from scamming Nigeria. There are too many young idxxxs posting stuff these days. And the rubbish about using the loans to buy only Chinese products is childish. All sovereign loaning and aid is like that. Why must you push your street sense standards into it.

China has actually stopped scamming Nigeria with APC government.

The biggest scam run against Nigeria was in generating sets of very poor quality dumped on Nigeria for about 25 years because of NEPA woes but dumb people like this Max did not see that.
All generators Nigeria has ever imported from China are cumulatively the equivalent of about 2 trillion dollars wealth transfer from poor Nigeria to China.
Please Max, you can write fancy stuff to impress Jamb candidates on Nairaland but for we serious people we would take their six billion dollars to complete Mambila and other dams and all the rail lines we want to do. That is much better than the stupidity of importing generators and okada from China for the last 25 years . Our power and infrastructure problems were so bad that Chinese businessmen at one time built entire factories targeting only Nigeria with poor quality gen sets including "I pass my neighbour" and Okadas and Kekes but now we are saying those Chinese billionaires can now relax - we will develop our infrastructure

A human sperm can not fertilise a goat's egg.....RECEIVE BRAIN THIS MORNING

IJN, Amen.
I am really getting worried for my people.

The intelligent person does not consider parties as important in Nigeria's fake democracy. What matters is the personality of whoever is the PRESIDENT. The fact that APC has a number of ex PDP is completely irrelevant unless you want to use the argument that all of PDP was BAD and I will agree with you on that one. This argument always cheapens and degrades PDP, yet their supporters always make it.So keep on sinking your party by saying that decampees to APC are making the APC corrupt.

The important thing again is the PRESIDENT. During the Obj regime the only opposition to the President was from his own party. Most of the governors he fought were PDP governors. So the personality of the President is important to the colour of his government. APC 's government is less corrupt for the reason that it's flag bearer is the least corrupt of Nigeria's entire rulling class and he has and is continuing to fight corruption.

This is one of the best givernments we ever had. You have to stop playing on the intelligence of Nigerian youths. Nigerians are far more clever than you think. If I buy a used car, the state of that car can only be blamed previous owners at least for the first two years of use. If your kid fails an external exam you blame the schools that he / she attended at foundation and middle schools.

It is an insult to intelligence to blame Buhari for fuel and power. PDP has been in power for 13 years and spent collectively 24 billion dollars on it. They later sold the power assets to their friends and incompetent sponsors and did not tackle the distribution infrastructure.

PDP DID NOT BUILD OR EXPAND REFINERIES IN THEIR 16 YEARS OF RULE.

THEY DELIBERATELY FRUSTRATED ALL PRIVATE REFINERY PROJECTS SO THAT IMPORTATION CAN CONTINUE

Buhari can only be said to have failed if he has failed to correct 50 percentthe blunders of PDP by 2019.

coolscott:
[size=13pt]Check out the world's greatest beef producers, Nigeria is not among them even in spite of our numerous herdsmen. The Nomadic method of producing livestock is not in any way an improved way of producing beef or diary products. What are the merits of growing cattle the nomadic way that all of the nation should sacrifice for that?

Or that any individual for that matter should expend resources trying to establish it over better methods?

Indeed, what are those special benefits that anyone should expend limited resources in trying to sustain it over more improved methods, or worse still, in trying to foist it on other people's lands?[/size]

There are proven advantages to open range grazing. It is the preferred method in the US. Even in germany, cattle farmers are adopting some limited open grazing practices to improve the health of cattle.

infogenius:
Buhari olodo

It is very very important for young people to realise this. There is no magic key outside endurance , hardwork and innovation. There is no smart idea to fix poverty but work. Any politician telling you otherwise is lying to you.

Jonathan made his home town a node and switching center on the Lagos Calabar line. Nigerians don't have a problem with that. We even expected that Dr Clueless would have done more gorgeous his people. There is no way this project will be removed from the budget. Nigerias counterpart funding is too low to break the bankind even if the wicked northern senators actually removed it, it will come back. There is also a planned coastal road coming from Lekki - Epe to calabar

TippyTop:
Fashola has been demystified, the man had godlike status as governor.
No impact on the 3 ministries he presides over.

It is the previous govt that has been de mystified. If you expect to solve power in one year you have a dull brain. You guys tolerate rubbish and then reject the consequences. Jonathan sold power plants and distribution networks to his friends who don't know jack about the industry, six months after they were donating billions to his campaign on national tv.
What kind of brain dead country do you have when you tolerate wrong things and you don't think you deserve the consequences. The Jonathan is in Otuoke now burning 10000 naira a day on diesel to generate power. I am sure in his less drunk moments he would be regretting a lot.

When you spoil something bad enough you may say that. A good president leaving a good legacy would say something like.. " I have achieved so , so and so for future generations, my successor should carry on from where I stopped". This Jonathan was delivering a curse but God knows better.

There are too many childish and immature IDIOTS on this forum.
Nail him for what?. The man is a business man. He is not vying for public office. CCT statutory laws can't hold him. If he decides to run for office, he will declare everything on his asset form.

iblawi:
Z10 is not a bad option too. It looks very promising.

I only wish Z10 on my enemies. That platform is unproven and I am sure most army pilots would not recommend it. It looks childishly deadly in pictures but please don't buy it.

Buhari is NOT going to fail. PDP supporters know this and that is why they are scared. By tackling security (wasting Boko Haram and Niger Delta miscreants) and corruption first , the stage is now set for public works projects and social intervention interventions. The only problem is that inflation might get high in August, September.

This Fayose is a complete dullard. Nigeria is not going to grow without outside funds.

*yawns*
I will soon win the Leopold Senghor 's Brother's Cousin award for waking up early in the morning. This will also be the first by an African .

luvinhubby:
Talkative government without any sense of direction.

All the economic indices has nosedived, investors have fled & you are still counting 30 things to do to revive the economy, for Christ's sake, where were you before the economy crashed, at least you did not inherit a collapsed economy.

The economy crashed with Jonathan. They could not sell oil for many months in 2014. The first thing they embarrassed Buhari with was 2 4 billion dollars owed to marketers. The man had to look for money to pay by all means. The war against Boko Haram and Niger Delta operations is probably costing 20 billion a month.

Personally I am hoping the hard times continue for people who don't realise that what we have now are CONSEQUENCES of PDP mismanagement. If you find yourself as taxi driver instead of university you have yourself to blame a little so you can move forward. If however you think Buhari is the cause , keep it up but you won't go far in life by pampering your self in life.
Angola, Venezuelan, Brazilian economies are practically destroyed but we are still in a better state because Nigerians can reach deep to endure and innovate.

This is a very stupid king and a stupid post. There is nothing modern about it and it is important to stop being shallow about stuff. Royalty is a symbol of sovereignty of his people . He cannot be holding a paid job abroad and symbolise the independence and Sovereign identity of his people. This is colonial mentality on steroids. What if he stays back in his palace and sets up or chairs NGOs targeting the welfare of his people in education, Infrastructure and health, won't that be better?
