chidiokay:
Maybe Tinubu govt should rush back n bring Madam okonjo to come and confuse us a drop in FDI does not invalidate economic reform progress

if my taste board says your soup no Sweet bring white money or chef G they cant convince me it is sweet

Imassive drop in FDI inflow in any economy is actually a strong indicator of a bad economy. You cannot on one hand be praising the government for reforms that have not yielded any tangible result and on the other hand be waving off the impact of absence of FDI in the country.
Infact, it goes hand in hand because where investors feel safe and comfortable to get reward for their investments they put their money so this is a strong indicator that Tinubus reform is only on paper and nothing tangible is on ground working.

Softmirror:
Tiwa is obviously going through depression which must have started after that sex leak of her's which the whole world has watched. Of course she is regretting and wishing she never brought a child to the world who will become ashamed of her. But then that is a side of the coin. The other flip side is Tiwa can choose to be mentally strong as well as fortify her son mentally too for the challenges ahead.

I wish her the very, very best in life.

She's got nothing to worry about anymore since all copies of the sex tape have been deleted. Her son will never grow up to see it

helinues:
Are we spending dollars in Nigeria? Just for you people to appreciate the efforts of this government, but you just can't as you might have sworn to something not to see the progress of Nigeria

I have always thought you are not so lettered and perhaps under 20 with most of your comments that I see here and this comment has further confirmed that bias. There's no country in the world where GDP and per capital income is measured in the local currency, infact the very essence of gdp is to measure comparative productivity between countries so you cannot do that with local currency unless with the international currency which is USD since local currencies are subjective .
The other day when Peter Obi came out to say Nigeria loan is over NGN170Trn, your lots alongside Reno Omokri went to town to scream that the loans should be calculated in USD since the currency is floated to show the government is working even though over 60% of the loans are domestic debts and bonds which are not sourced for in foreign currencies. Now that USD is not in your favour you want us to calculate GDP in Naira to further delude unlettered people like yourself.
APC supporters always amaze me sha, cherry picking just to prove a stupid point that is so glaring that even a blind man can see in this economy.

My response is simples.

Nigeria has never had good leaders at all,even now

For us to have good leaders, we must have a leader who will do what okchina, Japan and Germany among many nations did.

If you think I support tinubu then that means that tinubu is following china and Germany example. As you can see he is not

Good evening. Not everyone who thinks different from you supports apc. I support Nigeria. Not apc or pdp

Nobody is insinuating that you are an APC supporter, I am only saying you should stop downplaying their success compared to the present disaster to high prices . Infact I just checked and crude oil prices presently at USD85 is higher than OBJs time. OBJs attraction of FDI in his time is due to his government policies and not due to oil prices. OBJs tenure was the last time an American president visited Nigeria, what does that tell you about his foreign policies and how that would translate to FDI influx? OBJs tenure was the time Nigeria banks consolidated and capital based increased to 25Bn, why would that not attract investors? OBJs tenure was the time the pension industry was floated in Nigeria with the enactment of pension law and Pencom, OBJs tenure was the start of the GSM and telecoms revolution in Nigeria . Why will all these activities not attract massive influx of FDI's and the statistics do not lie as you can see.
Pls stop downplaying babas visionary government and yarning dusts that it's caused by oil prices pls.

I am not here to defend APC...

Yes, very true, but the thing is, oil prices were going up, and then we got our loans forgiven in 2005. See the graph from 2006-when he left office. Naturally, confidence.

Same thing with Yaradua and GEJ...FDI was high because high oil revenues.

Same thing happened in 1973-82, when oil prices were high, and when we had car and truck assembly plants all over the country, and Lagos had a booming industrial sector...along with Ogun, and other parts of the country. Money attracts money.

If Obasanjo had stayed, by now we would be blaming him for squandering the oil money boom.

The best way to keep FDI High enough....you remove subsides, you reform the tax sector, you also fight corruption and invest heavily in education, especially technical education, and you invest in infrastructure like roads and railways. We have always failed in fighting corruption and education, and security.

If not for maturity I would have insulted you for this response before but I am a better man now. Ideally, I have stopped responding to fake narratives on this platform but distortion of facts such as this if left unchallenged would be taken by ignorant folks and turned to truths in beer parlours or public discourse.
Firstly, there's no correlation between oil prices and FDI in any economy, while oil prices impacts government revenue to fund budget, FDI impacts inflows that mainly translates to exchange rate stability. The main reason naira was stable and not devalued daily in objs regime was due to the high rate of fdis experienced in his time . All the policy direction of obj like sale of NNPC,sale of nitel,NEPA ,debt forgiveness, floating of NLNG and better security network is what aided the massive influx of FDI's in his time and not your warped half-baked analysis of oil prices. If it's oil prices then why did Jonathan not attract better FDI than obj since oil price was much higher in his time than OBJs own?
What the guy said is the truth that obj is by far the best president Nigeria has ever had and should have been allowed to continue. Was there book haram or bandits in OBJs time? Would any investor want to invest in a boko haram haven?
Sometimes when you peddle your fact misrepresentation you should limit it to illiterates and ignorant fellows and not come online to just spit jargons to those that actually experienced it.

This is one of the numerous reasons while Nigerian companies don't grow cos they refuse to scale upwards once they start receiving handouts from governments.

EponObi:
If not that this nation is sick, how can an oil producing nation like us be importing PMS of up to 400,000 BPD. That's so ridiculously. And on top of that, the FG paid subsidy on all that massive quantity.

I hope importation quota runs dry to 0 by the end of this decade.

Those marketers ate crazily and massively over the past decades. I wonder why none of them had the initiative to build refineries before Dangote entered the game. Lmaoooo. They were too confident and comfortable eating our subsidies and fraudulently exporting our fuel to neighboring countries for insane markups. Lol. Never in their dream did they see a crazy, ogbontarigi, president like Jagaban with balls of diamonds arising and destroying the feeding bottles.

This is the past some manshafani want us to return to.

Our past encouraged laziness, zero initiative and innovation. That is changing now. By the end of this decade, our trade surplus will be bogus.

Abeg, e patewo fun Tinubu 👏👏👏👏

Tinubu has zero impact on the reduction of petrol imports in Nigeria, the person you should be thanking is Dangote for setting up his refinery. Tinubus impact in Dangotes business is zero , infact Buhari and Emefiele if any government policy is involved because they are the ones that provided Dangote cheap dollar to set up his refinery.
The rubbish NNPC refineries that Tinubu wasted our our Usd1.5Bn on have all stopped functioning today.

Good

We are becoming more productive hence the increase in export

Keep deceiving yourself, the reason Nigeria is experiencing trade surplus is because of less imports and not because of more productivity in the economy. The reason for the less import is because of the exchange rate because Nigerians are now sourcing local alternatives in place of exports e.g rice, even human hair are being imported less as women now embrace local braids. This is actually not a bad thing though but to delude yourself that there's more industry and production going on in the economy is just blatant rubbish . Otherwise can you mention how many car factories ,steel companies or production sites have been set up that's making Nigeria to export like you said.

Also be reminded that the borrowing has not stopped despite Tinubus removal of subsidy, infact Tinubu has borrowed more money than all his predecessors despite his so called subsidy removal savings.
Are you even aware that he has recently proposed to borrow another 20Trn to take Nigerias debt to almost 200Trn so what is all this your tappings about?

Even a child born yesterday knew that the USD1.5Bn loan taken by Mele Kyari with our untapped crude oil to rehabilitate refineries has gone as money for the boys again yet no one will be held accountable.
This is the same Tinubu government that promised to fight corruption few days ago while he himself is corruption personified.
Yet to the agbadorian Mofos Tinubu is the best thing that happened after sliced bread. Once they start gaslighting you with their paper achievements on this forum just ask them where's our USD1.5Bn loan they took to revamp refineries and where are the working refineries and watch them go dumb.

Apart from corruption and fraudulent practices that permeate Nigeria fabrics, our state governors are another major problem,most of them has turned their respective states to their personal empires,they are collecting monthly allocations what are they doing with they do one or two projects, they hardly pay their workers what is due them.

They don't allow any independence for local government, they make sure it is there stooges that were appointed local council
chairmen.

The present system of government is not working unless you want to receive yourself. The main issue with Nigeria democracy is too much wastage in the name of governance, the system was mimicked after the US system which is a rich country while Nigeria is a poor country.
How can trillions be budgeted to service a bicameral legislature, over bloated executives with several advisers and PA who do nothing every year leaving nothing left for capital projects and you say the system is ok.
What is required is to look for a system that works for a poor country like Nigeria where the cost of governance is shrunk to the minimum, the issue is more than just holding leaders accountable unless you just want to be stupid.

Hell will not let loose if they don't export to the US. Find other countries to export to. It's that simple. Don't let US hold U into ransome. By the way, US population is not up to 400 million, how come every other nation is targeting US for their products?

The answer to the last part of the question you raised is because US is the number 1 economy in the world where majority of the population of 400m can afford the basic needs of life, contrast this with the situation of Nigeria where majority of the 200m population are either below the poverty line or just living from hand to mouth.
If you ship your goods to US , you stand a higher chance of selling it than in any other country because there's not just the population but a buoyant population that can afford it. But if you ship to a country like Nigeria where they are struggling to feed, you will have few people that can afford it because they are still battling with the basic needs of life.
It's often said that the majority of the African robust population is just a waste because they are unproductive.
