Please do not compare Nigeria and Norway's economies as oil producing countries at all. I live in Norway and I can tell you there's a mighty difference between them. I won't touch on infrastructure or standard of living, just economic indices.
Norway with 5million people has a foreign reserve of over $60b while Nigeria with 180million people is struggling with a mere $30b.
Norway has the largest Sovereign wealth fund in the world of about $900b saved from oil alone for its future unborn generations. Nigeria has nothing.
In 2014 the Norwegian currency which is fully floated was $1=6NOK and now it's 8.65NOK. While Nigeria would have been close to 1000naira for $1 if fully floated.
Compare Oranges with Oranges: Nigeria, Angola, Venezuela. Thanks to Buhari coming, Nigeria is the best performing economy among them.

lol... That's true. Norway is also an oil-producing country... One of the best we have around but we are too quickly to pull the "population card."

Have been doing research to find reasons Buhari cleared SGF in January but can't.
Reprinted below is premiumtimes story of the news and Buhari's actual letter to the Senate absolving Babachir of any blame.


Mr. Buhari, in his letter read by Senate President Bukola Saraki on Tuesday, defended Mr. Lawal and gave reasons he could not act as demanded by the Senate.

The Senate had in December last year asked President Muhammadu Buhari to suspend Mr. Lawal and ensure his prosecution over alleged breach of Nigerian laws in handling contracts awarded by the Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE).

The Senate’s call followed the interim report of its ad-hoc committee on “mounting humanitarian crisis in the North East” led by Shehu Sani which indicted Mr. Lawal for receiving N200 million contract to clear “invasive plant species” in Yobe State through a company, Rholavision Nigeria Limited.

The Senate said Mr. Lawal remained a director of the company till September 2016, over a year after his appointment, in breach of Nigeria’s code of conduct for public officials as enshrined in the 1999 constitution.

Expect more surprises from President Buhari, a very smart and strategic leader.

Haters and wailers are forced to leave issues as he systematically tackles them.

Nigerians now know that the patron of the looters and hero of the wailers, GEJ was a disaster that all-but-wrecked this country.

From that sorry state, Nigeria is rising.

twosquare:
I think you are getting it wrong. Those who compared Nigeria to Venezuela are doing a comparison of economic failure... That Nigeria is following same formula they did that made their economy to collapse... Only difference is that we're not a socialist state. Venezuela, right now, is in trouble... Down to their last reserve, inflation is super high, crime rate way off the roof, people queuing for food and looting stores, connected citizens flying out of the country...

Most of the people that express these types of sentiments are incompetent people who depend on their tribal affiliations to make headway in life.

So when they see someone clearly favouring his tribe over competence they don't condemn it because they know that they themselves are beneficiaries of the same at their own level.

Its been 2 yrs and we have slid down the rankings of all major indices of human development since Buhari came in and someone is screaming he should stay till 2023 despite public knowledge that the man is battling ill health. He has not been able to preside over FEC meeting two weeks in a row. His cabal made up of his kinsmen are running the country aground while the poor man is battling to regain his health. Shame on your type!

From your diction I know your Use of English is above average and should know what "albeit" means when used to qualify a word.

I may not know all "good" policies made by this administration, but the few that made headlines or are implemented are commendable.
1) normalization of BSc & HND status
2) whistle blower act
3) implementation of TSA & BVN
4) new National health policy
Etc

@bolded belies the tone of your comments.

ShobayoEmma:
Thank you sir or what else do you want me say? Ok, get lost. Religion sentiment is the game the president i voted for is playing, hence why i'm being dejected of his sense of judgement. Be you theist or atheist, we all deserve equall treatment.

menxer:
My people have a saying "when you hate someone, you can't see or hear anything good about that person no matter what"

PMB was accused of coming to Islamize Nigeria but most of the people he appointed even from the north are Christians, not even Hausa or fulani.

Yes, merit is a good thing based on the criteria used.
In the case of the NIA & SFG, it is the "most senior permanent secretary" that takes over in Acting capacity, no appointments yet.

In as much as I want a better Nigeria, I don't have to be negative or pessimistic about everything the present Administration does just because I don't like the person of the President.

menxer:
@bolded is rather irrational, if his appointments is what offends you, why transfer the hate to his policies, albeit good?

nawtyme:
It's like you are no longer comfortable with the 250k you received monthly. Just let the head of your BMC crew see this, even the free data you receive will be taken away from you and given to sark...... to Continue with his dumb posts
