The answer is just one, MILITANCY/PIRACY. Those Niger Delta waterways are not safe. Apart from threats of kidnapping, it is more expensive for the shipping companies and shipping agents to operate that route as they have to settle or pay "escort" money to each community they pass. The cost is then passed on to the consignees. Security (or lack of it) is a serious impediment to the optimal utilization of Portharcourt port.

[b]How much was our foreign reserves in 1999 and how much was oil sold for on the average?

How much was our foreign reserves in 2007 and how much was oil sold for on the average between '99-'07?

How much was our foreign reserves in 2009 and how much was oil sold for on the average between '07'-'09?

How much was our foreign reserves in 2015 and how much was oil sold for on the average between '10-'15?[/b]what is the point u are trying to make? Abdulsalam left about 2.5b dollars when he was leaving in '99.does that mean because vthere was a lull in the price oil then he didnt steal? If u can make your point clearer, would know how to respond.however the present downturn in the economy is not jonathans fault but as a result of lack of economic policy by the present administration.this is why foreign financial institutions no longer wants to trade in our bonds, this is why the capital market is losing billions of naira.nobody puts his money in an uncertain environment. Will u invest your own money in a business u are not sure of?


Hopefully, you can answer the above^^ correctly

see all these arm chair economist...

Well, I heard the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in an interview, saying the country can not change its policy simply because of an index. That's not going to be possible, and I agree with him on that. If you guys know the conditions these modern slave trade people are giving the country, you will ask them to go to hell.

By the way, bond this, bond that, they are not the real investors in an economy! They are what they are truly called- Port Folio Investors, Port Folio.

Do you know what a portfolio is...? That is, you bring your investment in a portfolio and you also leave with your profit in your port folio at the slightest provocation. Though, you may argue that they provide the finance for the real investors, fine, but then, they are what they are- Port folio, just like port folio contractors.

In any case, I still think the country should not be hounded into taking hasty economic decision simply because we are being shoved off some lousy index- No!

Activa:
Don't defend rubbish.

Jonathan's government failed woefully by not saving when prices were high. This is not arguable!

Buhari's government is too slow to roll out its economic roadmap. This is not arguable!

Be objective and just love your country.

QuotaSystem:
[b]What sort of ignorance is this?

We were listed in the first place because of our economic performance ROOTED IN THE HIGH OIL PRICES THAT PREVAILED... was it GEJ that boosted the prices or Buhari that shot them down?

To keep us on that list, GEJ should have exploited the booming prices and surpluses to diversify our economy away from oil and strengthen our foreign reserves to protect the Naira, INSTEAD OF LOOTING and bleeding the excess crude account, foreign reserves and WASTING THE OIL PRICE BOOM (over $100 per barrel).

Countries face economic challenges all over the world all the time (e.g. the recent global recession) but the key is PLANNING and SAVING FOR THE RAINY DAY. Iweala predicted these problems under GEJ while we were still earning surpluses from high oil prices yet nothing was done to prepare.

UAE like Iweala, discovered that it's oil would not sustain it in the estimated future, and they used their excess Petro-dollars to DIVERSIFY into tourism and today they are smiling despite sinking oil prices because tourism was developed, and their leader did not loot with impunity like Jonathan, Diezani and the crew.

GEJ is the real reason we are being delisted. [/b]

Rawani:
Nigeria is bigger than 'his people'. The sooner you accept that Ameachi did what he did for Nigeria and not the ND, the easier you will sleep at night because it will take more than a resurrected senate rule to stop the Lion of Ubima.

Your statement suggests that you wanted Ameachi to support that corrupt administration just because he and Jonathan hailed from the same region, regardless of the effect the looting and mismanagement would have on the quality your life and that of all other Nigerians.

Wonders shall never end.

Chanchit:
Well, you tried in your explanation. But if you take a look at what you typed, you re trying to explain to me the reasons why its hard for the whole of SS to come to agreement on many issues, you mentioned some elders from the SS but after mentioning them the issues still does not get resolved because everybody is fighting for his own territory(let me not say for their pockets)so others would have to kick against it. When I talk about thugs, its a common fact that there is not militants in SW, thugs in SW does not have weapons like the ones in SS,you can't compair the net worth of a SW thug to the ones of SS cos they are more than thugs, can you compair the Mc oluomo with the likes of Asari, tompolo and co? They are not in same level. Have you seen the new thread on fp where an ex militant is asking clark to shut up? So when I typed what I typed, I knew what I was typing.

Chanchit:
SS does not have leaders na, cos you guys no dey respect elders you respect thugs and money so you would still respect him one of this days.

uboma:
The case is getting interesting by the day.

I will love to see Diezani put behind bars and her assets confiscated. This woman and her accomplices bled Nigeria financially.

Chanchit:
So it means fashola and Fayemi would also sail through on same grounds. I just pity Wike.

Beremx:
Lion of Ubima,you too much!

You shall be a Minister whether Wike and his goons like it or not.

All hail the man who brought PDP to its knees.

SLIDEwaxie:
ure just explaining my point.... What I am angry abt was his perpetual mixing of religion with politics in such a bad way.

As a christian that I am, or let me say, as a Christian that I claimed to be, that guy was the bad definition of a leader! He was shameless

SLIDEwaxie:
one: impotent because now, we no dey hear him talk unlike wen his master was the president. He spew trash and follow the paparazzi.

two: worthless vulture because he is living below expectations. How does he manage to involve himself so deeply in politics? I'm asking that from the perspective of a sectional religious head.

modath:
Who wants to kill him

If people wanted him dead, he would have been by now cos air disasters are the easiest to arrange, watched enough discovery channel to know....

he wasn't killed at the height of his infamy, when he was spreading religious propaganda, now that even CAN is barely tolerating ...

He misses press attention maybe. ... Don't regular aircrafts have near misses as well?

He should search his soul & talk to God.

SLIDEwaxie:
Na who no gey work wey wan assassinate that impotent and worthless vulture?


Stop carrying fake news. His importance has faded away with the past corrupt administration.

No one hardly remembers or hear his name. His time don pass. Make he no dey try insert his name for book of remembrance jare.

PassingShot:
[size=15pt]Those saying they're disappointed never wanted PMB nor voted for him. So, we expect them to always be disappointed in whatever the president does. It's like expecting the Chief Wailer (Barcanista) or the Chief Abobaku (Chukwudi) to appreciate any action by the president. It will NEVER happen!

And anyone who actually wanted and voted for Buhari (change) must have sincerely had a reasonable expectation that those around him (Amaechi, Fashola, Lai Muhammed, Ogbonna Onu etc) would be made ministers. So, what is the disappointment in the list?

So, if you say you're disappointed, it's either you never voted for PMB or you didn't know what you were doing then. Which one? [/size]they didn't know what they were doing then.they were deceived by the mantra called'change".they expected to see saints, angels and technocrats.how naive can one be?

MosakuAW:
How can GEJ tamed her, when she is more powerful than GEJ himself.

She acted like the Vice president of the country.

Infact we had 3 vice presidents under GEJ administration. Which can be compared to types of partners in Business.

1: Sambo: Dormant partner

2: Diezani: Active partner

3: Patience Jonathan: Sub partner

These set of people run Nigeria like a partnership organisation under GEJ administration.

So sad, Nigeria is place where the rich want his/her personal driver to be a Bsc holder and stating in the advert that, MBA will be an added advantage.

Rubbish!!!!!

egift:
Until they institute a case in a competent court against Amaechi and Fashola, else the two will be minister. The Wailing PDP can keep barking at the sky for nothing, it will not stop them.
