TBH, I am now convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Nigeria's problems is beyond leadership, but a societal one. Are we just intellectually deficient or chronically prejudiced.

This was an interview where the Minister was specifically asked about the exchange rate situation. He tried to explain the factors that influence the rate making reference to oil price. He simply said the SITUATION (exchange rate) was beyond the president since he does not control oil price. He never said the ECONOMY was beyond the President’s control as misrepresented by the media.
---
How the media gets away with such mischief is beyond me. Worse still is the fact that 80% of readers do not even notice this distortion of facts. These are people that will later assume leadership positions. With such shallowness among citizens, the future is even more uncertain.

The situation we find ourselves is really pathetic. The first line in that statement giving credit to the government for surviving the situation clearly nulifies the claim he said "the economy is beyond PMB's control"

The current crop of youths is a bunch of wasted generation.

PDP will struggle to get things right again. The party will need another sixteen years or more to win the center. Mark this post.

dTruth101:
Reports emanating from Benue state indicate that more than 10, 000 Agatu people were gruesomely murdered last night by Fulani herdsmen. The villages are now turned to ghost villages with dead bodies littered everywhere.


Details shortly........

Change your moniker to dLie101. The current one is an absurdity judged by this obvious fake news.

I love this man the more. The more he ignores wailers about his numerous traveling the more it pains them

With what Nigeria is getting from the president, the future is very bright.

tuniski:
The govt has 3more years except u are imagining giving it today time Beyond 2019. Nobody is taking away the admin's time rather it is wasting its time and spreading hardship!
Chanji is a scam!

2019 is just too far! Never again will citizens be scammed by a mantra without Definition!

Put GEJ, Modu Sheriff, Ekweremandu, Saraki and any other persons on a joint ticket against PMB in 2019 and they will be trounced mercilessly.

Barcanista has lost all relevance and credibility i n this forum. He's confused, directionless and most incoherent in thoughts.

Truth234:
The economy is not in the best shape but when you compared the state of Nigerian economy to similar nations, generating 90% of their foreign revenue from oil you will agree with me that Nigeria is not doing bad at all.

Currently, among such nations, Nigeria is the best in term of investment destination. When you look at emerging-economies, Nigeria is second after China, the 2nd largest economy in the world. Mind you, China has lost over $4 trillion this year, Brazil two years ago was most thriving emerging economy and currently relegated to junk by credit rating, same with Venezuela, Argentina, etc.

In Africa, South Africa is regarded as business powerhouse, but this year alone South Africa has suffered from global financial slowdown and Rand lost about 30% against the US dollar, 2016 economic growth forecast was cut to 0.9% from 1.7%.

The same thing happened to Angola, even after devaluing her currency, Kwanza, slides 40%. Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Asia-Pacific (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand, etc) are all suffering from global financial crisis but somehow Nigeria has been able to manage it better.

Please note that this situation is similar to what happened in 2008 (recession), with even lower oil prices but because of 2008 experience, financial institutions, Central banks, etc. are making adjustments to their monetary policies just like this administration is doing. Even at that, Abenomics developed by Abe, Japan Prime Minister has failed. So Nigeria situation is not unique.

This administration is not A Government Of Failure, Tears And Disappointment but of hope, determination and strength, even in the face of global pressure to devalue and succumb to IMF cabal, We stand and soon we will all ripe from this administration. Stay positive.

Thank you.

Barcanista, you're a confused fellow walahi.

..All hail Ifeanyichukwu Uba ..

I thought people said that the free fall of dollar is connected to the fall in oil price ..

Better to be silent and be thought a fool than opening mouth and remove all doubt.

What if PMB had given in to pressure to devalue?

I think Ifeanyi Ubahs words was a lifeline to the recovery of the naira. He voiced out and that sent cold shivers down the spines of the speculators and staked his assets and that made speculators to have a rethink. Ifeanyi Ubah saving Nigerians since the days of Abacha. #nwaigbo

What happens to the threats and ultimatums?

Meringe:
I supported APC in the last election and i supports PMB fight against corruption but from what is happening now, i believe it's a fight against PDP. Taking revenge against PDP for denying him presidency for 3 times.
You can't tell me that a war against corruption will be going on and only PDP members are harassed and intimidated through media trial.
Spread this fight PMB, not just PDP. you will earn our respect if you're just in equity and justice.
Btw, i condemn corruption.

What are you talking?
PMB main focus is the national treasury that was emptied by the goats. And those goats have all been members of PDP in the 16 years it ruled. So, it makes perfect sense that those who will be arrested and prosecuted are PDP members.

Head sycophant. When is your next article on the "achievements of Buhari" coming out??

Passingshot so na you come dey make sense??... Abeg no make me laugh.

Do a poll, get it to the fp and clear your doubt.

SeverusSnape:
... And you forgot to add something.

They are all ipod youths, aren't they?

You always don't make sense.

Ole. Thief. Barawo.

It's a shame that all the youths that have been privileged to hold position of leadership and authority have failed woefully. Hence I find it difficult to align with the "youths being leaders of tomorrow" crap.

The list of failed youths is endless:
1. Dimeji Bankole
2. Farouk Lawan
3. Stella Oodua
4. Fani kayode
5. Diezanni
6. Saraki
Etc.

If all the above and many other youths had done well, Nigeria would have been better than the sorry state she is now.

TonyeBarcanista:
SAS may not be perfect but his personality is one that we need at this time.

You will agree with me that over the years party Chairmen have been lameducks and figureheads because some powerful groups and moneybags always have a way of controlling them. With Sheriff, that CAN'T be.

When it comes to might, I don't see any politician within the PDP that can surpass him. When it comes to ruggedity same. If it is power, he was a two-term Governor and a former godfather of an incumbent Governor. If it has to do with money, he's a billionaire and can't be intimidated by any Govs' cash. If its grassroot politics he's a don.

He is well connected and will bring people together while instilling sanity into the system.

I'm fully behind him to lead PDP till 2018

And the moral burden of Boko Haram?

Share share share share till nothing to share anymore

TonyeBarcanista:
This Communique isn't different from the never ending ultimatum by some group of clowns. The so-called Ex-Ministers should come to terms with the fact that 85% Nigerians and PDP loyalists are behind Senator Sheriff. They should Go to Court if they are unsatisfied.



Sheriff stays till 2018

Tonye, do you seriously think Sheriff is the right person to lead PDP out of its many challenges?

You too funny joor.

Wetin concern me?

I know you're a "wannabe adult", cos if you were a true adult, you should have known by now, that Nigeria is in crises and it is people like you that put us there! The GEJ you claimed spoilt Nigeria obviously managed the "spoilt" Nigeria far better than the "Messiah" President you elected now. Maybe your common sense will come alive when you start buying a satchet of pure water for N50. untill you wake up from your dream, keep believing that a clueless president will salvage your economy.

nelsonoba:
This is how people lose their lives for nothing! Imagine betting with your life over somebody you've never seen before? I'm sure that was also how you bet for Buhari & APC before the elections, but now you're very disappointed and you should actually be ashamed that you were part of the people who elected a government that can't prepare an ordinary budget.

Buhari is merely repeating history; he was in power in the 80's and the economy suffered, there were massive job losses, and many companies folded as a result of poor economic policies. you can google these facts for yourself.
today, history is repeating itself after Nigerians like you voted in the current President. what is happening now is similar to what happened between 1983 - 1985. go and google the facts for yourself!

FYI, I was born in the 1980's

You're still a kid.

IVORY2009:
ok! Do you want me to proof it, using pictures frm all ID's but later in d day?

Please go ahead if you're able to prove it. I am one of the two monikers you're mentioning but not the two. So, which one?

IVORY2009:
I hv answered ur questions times without number, to know if u are passingshot/Omenka, I did a research, n its positive.

N:B~tips all ID uses similar grammatical phrase, and all ID can not post @ same time etc

Sorry to burst your bubble, you're wrong. QED.

nelsonoba:
It is blind followership by people like you......and Oshiomhole too that has put Nigeria into this One Chance Bus till 2019!

You call GEJ and NOI ineffectual buffons, but they both managed the economy better than the greenhorn your President gave us after many months of searching. a greenhorn who could not add up 16+6 to get the correct answer, but she wants to manage the Nigerian economy.

I can bet my life you can't be older than 22. If you were older, you would have known that today's realities are a result of past years wrong decisions and choices. Kids everywhere on the internet. I no blame you sha.
