Good.
Appeal to international sentiments.
It is the wise thing to do.

The health workers should be tried for murder and medical malpractice.
Oh, i forgot, Nigeria is a lawless jungle.

Zoharariel:
I am neither a Muslim nor a Christian but Walahi Talahi, if Israel is not careful, she won't even see the year 2020.

The world no longer buys the biblical-horseshit & lies about Israeli being God's chosen people. That is not enough reason for you to start killing innocent civilians & annexing their lands.

If Israel is truly Yahweh's chosen people, Y don't they go against Russia or try annexing St. Petersburg like they've been doing to Palestine and see if truly Yahweh exists.

If war breaks out between Russia & America today, Ayayaya, It is bye-bye to Jehovah, not just Israel.

God did not promise st.petersburg to israel.
Anyway, Israel don't need supernatural help anymore. They are a strong nation now. The greatest nation in the middle east.
They will blow iran to the stone age.

Beremx:
This is how an effective government should be. A government of quick action and solution.

Thank you Mr. President!

RIP to the dead

Your economy is shitt.
J.p morgan just called your govt inefficient ,ineffective and slow.
Why has he not responded with action?
sychophant.

Nigeria 4th?
who dash una.?
Angola will take over your airspace in a matter of minutes.
All those 100,000 under-trained, under-paid Nigerian soldiers are more or less cannon folders for a decent airforce.

Kx:
The investors that
A. Built world class refineries
B. Established car assembly plants like Toyota, Honda etc
C. Turned our cocoa into chocolate
D.established world class roads and other infrastructures that profited them and d populace.

How come the kind of investors that gets attracted to Nigeria are more of short term fund speculators/investors than long term?

You want someone to spend billions on your cocoa produce, when you have someone like buhari as president?
You can't gurantee investors of their short term benefit, and you want them to commit long term.
Please, if you see investors that are solely long term investors in the mould of father christmas , kindly let buhari know.

plaindealer:
They can cool off and keep their investments for now, we need to get our house in order first.

Our status as the largest country in Africa and the most powerful economy won't change so they'll be back in a jiffy and that's even if they are actually leaving.

No more business as usual.

Of course, investors will wait for buhari.
According to plaindealer.

Bloomberg has suddenly become a wailing wailer.
They lambasted buhari like a true Nigerian.

Brugge:
okay ooh. but then you are yet to take you daily dose of punany and orah soup, better do ooh.

What the hell is orah soup?
Is that one of those yoruba concotions you people take?

Brugge:
not withstanding you still need some fun my man, one plate of jollof rice and goat meat, afterward go collect one round of punany.

My friend, my daily fun budget will feed you in a month.
I don't deal in paraga and all those yoruba backward jollification that you seem to get off on..

otondo.
Why won't you be stuck in the past when there is nothing exciting about your current president.
Nigeria is undergoing a serious downward economic spiral in just three months of buhari administration, ofcourse, your lack of something to do is not surprising.

Brugge:
bros you need a cold shower and a plate of goat head afterwards, you seem tired and agitated been long you had fun.

The money i spend on fun everyday will feed you for a month.

And who gives a fucck?
How are they different from the rest of the backward north?

missKiffy:
"Without the igbos Nigeria cannot survive" why are you pple so full of yourselves, those who call you cheat beaters are not wrong, are you people God that Nigeria cannot survive without the igbos, gosh, myopic and sickening

You must have a peanut sized brain.
You didn't condemn the nitwit who made a racist argument. It is the innocent nairalander who was doing his best to create a sense of unity in his own way that you find offensive.
Yoruba Dracula.

Is it the likes of Nigeria they want there?
A country that can't even project military power, or have a decent defence industry.
Give it to south africa or egypt and be done with it.
Educated illiterate.

muhammadu buhari?
No wonder the country is a cesspit.

hahahaha.

hahaha.
Nigeria losing international support even before the real struggle begins.
oh boy.

Hahaha.
Nigeria losing international support even before the real struggle begins.
What a country of nitwits.

Ekiti is the only state in the SW apart from lagos where the civil servants are happy with their governor.

Useless country.
Those who refused to learn from history will be consumed by it.
It is just starting.

baby124:
Every aspect must be improved.
Education, to prevent capital flight.

Nollywood, to encourage investment and potential flush the economy with cash. Our movies are values around the world. We should also place high value on protecting intellectual property.

Paying professionals like Doctors Well, and requiring a higher standard in the health sector to make this country a destination for medical tourism.

Protecting our natural resources with severe consequences for saboteurs.

Providin subsidies to farmers and encouraging young entrepreneurs to go into farming.

Empowering our financial sector and putting policies in place to make sure we become a financial market giant in the continent.

Revamping Labor laws and enforcing that companies have at least a 90% Nigerian staff and at least 50% upper management

And then propaganda, propaganda, propaganda! To help improve morale of the citizens and help restore pride in their country. This can only work if there is an enabling environment of course

mscheww.
There is nothing there that jonathan did not do except maybe second to the last one which was more or less represented in the local content initiative.
Do you think the J.P morgan listing of Nigeria in the first place for the first time in our history came out of thin air?

VeeBabs:
Friend, investment is not by sentiments or friendship or patriotism. If a place (country) is favourable for investments, people (investors) will find their way to you. That's what investment advisory companies exist for. And they are constantly keeping tabs on every country's fiscal, political, monetary, economic and environmental situation and decisions, weighing their effects on each country's investment climate according to a highly sophisticated algorithm.

They "sell" their findings (highly educated predictions) to clients the world over (e.g. hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, private investors etc etc) who look up to them for timely information.

For example, if you, as a Nigerian, had N1 billion naira deposit balance in a particular Nigerian bank, and then you hear (somehow) that that bank will collapse in a month's time, what would you do? Keep your money there to "help them get through the crisis" or HURRY LIKE CRAZY to get your account manager to suck out every last kobo you have there. Now imagine people (foreigners) who have BILLIONS (in dollars) invested.

Nigeria's delisting from the JP Morgan index has its consequencies. Global financial/investment advisory companies/consultants must have alerted all their investor-clients accordingly on the right steps to take following this anticipated delisting (announced since January 2015). What do you think ratings agencies like Standard & Poors, Fitch and Moody's are doing? How about consulting firms like McKinsey, Accenture and the myriad heavy-weights in the financial services sector? They are all constantly monitoring the pulse and blood pressure of each and every country in the world (tracking their political/fiscal/monetary/economic decisions), and using their information to advise their investor-clients regularly!

If your village is the best place on earth to invest, Warren Buffet will waste no time in channelling billions of dollars in that direction. Investment is not by "those who love Nigeria will stay, those who don't love Nigeria will leave". Investors are not begging you. They never were. If you crash your stock market, or evaporate investor confidence somehow, get ready to stand by and watch billions of dollars check out of your economy on per second billing.

Welcome to the 21st Century.

My 2 kobo.

Don't mind that illiterate.
Investors who love Nigeria will stay?
The height of nonsense you read on Nairaland because of buhari.

7lives:
@Bolded, this is a big lie, Nigeria is Africa's largest investors haven.
Let them go to blazes, JP Morgan my jack ass all that Nigeria needed is a transparent leadership, enabling environment, a highly focused citizenry and we'll be home and dry.
With all the JP Morgan listing, how many European economy have they revived, i would rather we look towards Asia while we encourage our people to go into JV with other foreign nationals.
We don hear say na China be baba now, say most American economic reports are doctored, JP Morgan ko, George Soros ni.
Shebi Racists have not been able to impose their useless IMF AND World bank inhuman economic policies on Nigeria, we are no longer in the 90s oju ti la eye don open.
Baba abeg downplay this nonsense don't pay attention to these racists, our hands have already made strong by the hands of the almighty, they can't stop this match to progress.
In the end, the Asians will be having the ball while the racist watch them play, the era of scramble and partition is loooooonng over, now it is first come first serve.

Nigeria is no longer africa's best investment haven.
It was true under GEJ but it is no longer true now.
Ethiopia is now the largest reciepient of investments in africa.

Afam4eva:
This sounds more like it. The AFN have no moral justification to ban anyone especially Okagbare given the fact that she has given her all to Nigeria more than Nigeria has given to her. banning her will be an idiotic move as other countries will snap her immediately.

This is wrong.
Okagbare is actually one of the very few athletes that have benefited very well from Nigeria in terms of financial reward.
I am sure she would have jumped ship if that was not the case.
Even the delta state govt still pays her till today.

sai buhari.
The economic guru of our time.

ModiKen:
The only difference between us and the likes of Singapore and Malaysia is bad leadership.

What notable resource do south east Asian countries have.

You think if Naija was functioning as it should, we would have this thread on JP Morgan list.

They would even be begging us to be on their list.

Mr. Man, u are the zombie here cos u fail to see that the CBN is doing its best to protect our currency.

Just cos we want to be on their list we should fold our arms and watch the naira become like the Zimbabwean dollar.

Smh....

It was J.P morgan that ''begged'' us to join them, when they saw the progress Nigeria was finally making.
What has changed between now and then?
From being a celebrated member to being dumped out? Something has changed, and it is not just a drop in currency due to the price of oil.

J.P morgan doesn't just delist you because you earn less than you used to.
There are more important indices they use.
Infact, the reduction in oil prices has inflicted some level of damage on a lot of big economies. but then, none of these countries have been kicked out of J.P morgan.
The trust in our economy is the issue here. Nobody trust this Nigerian govt to weather the storm.
it has no serious economic expert in its cabinet, no identifiable economic policy to base any credible forcast on.
Those are the issues here.

seunmsg:
You are just being mischievous. We were listed in January 2012 when crude oil price was averaging $120 in the international market. Today, it's averaging $40. So, you can't compare the economic outlook of Nigeria in a period of economic boom to that of a period of economic recession.

And stop the lies, Nigeria's economy didn't enjoy 7% growth rate last year. Even the projection for this year going by GEJ's budget is around 4% or so. This should show you times are different.

googlepikin:
I demand you write 5 pages of apology to those countries you just mentioned that we are better than.

You don't understand sarcasm, do you?

seunmsg:
And the economy of Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore depends on crude oil right?

The Nigerian economy was dependent on crude when Nigeria was celebrated by J.P morgan for her economic exploits.
Nigerian economy was dependent on crude when we were enjoying a 7% growth rate and an uncommon FDI influx that has now dropped by 54% under buhari.
Your president is an economic assassin.
The precedence was set in 1984.
