No nation disunited in purpose ever makes progress.
Nigeria is a huge joke.

This is a government that has not invested a dime in the power sector
This is a government that does not have a clear economic direction nor a power sector roadmap of its own
But their first instinct is to inflict more hardship on the masses by increasing tariff on a sector they have done nothing on

What happens to first strengthening the regulatory agencies towards overseeing the DISCOs?
What happens to ensuring that every home has prepaid meters first?
What happens to increasing the power supply first to justify the need for tariff increase?
Why cant the govt subsidize the power sector instead of petroleum products?
The criminal and fraudulent excesses in the 2016 budget (website update, double dip zungeru projects, Presidential feeding and BMW car fleets and many other unnecessary luxuries) running into hundreds of billions will go along way in subsidizing the power sector for the next four years.

Buhari's govt is fraud and must be resisted as much as possible.

Amaechi rained dollars (Rivers people funds) at Teslim Balogun Stadium to aid Buhari defeat Atiku at APC primaries.

Aregbesola, Amaechi, Okorocha, Fashola etc denied their electorates capital projects and channeled state funds to Buhari's campaign at the expense of Nigerians.

Criminals like Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola, Fayemi, Saraki, Audu Ogbeh, Atiku, Ngige, Obasanjo, many northern lootocrats etc who has looted this country dry are the pilots of the so called "Anti Corruption" govt.

Simply put..... BUHARI LACKS MORAL JUSTIFICATION TO FIGHT CORRUPTION. As a matter of fact, Buhari is more corrupt than most. There is no pressure on Buhari, he just cannot sustain a fight against moral consciousness.

Buhari's is more interested In supporting Syria than salvaging the Nigerian economy that he Balkanized In few weeks.

When last did he Marshall out his points on the economy to his electorate like he goes asking for speech time around the globe costing tax payers 1 million dollar per trip ?

fortune1968:
you need to open Nigerian history book to the page titled - GEJ AND HIS TEAM OF LOOTERS . Then you will appreciate what's happening to d economy now .Are u. in coma when GEJ WAS DESTROYING THE ECONOmMY ?

You are one of the zombies I was referring to.

We told them APC has no plans for Nigeria .... They said Buhari was the Messiah
We told that the lack of economic direction portrays doom for the economy .... They said Sai Buhari
We told them that Buhari declaring to the world that all Nigerians were corrupt would result in loss of investor confidence .... They called us wailers
We told them that delaying the appointment of ministers for 6 months will create a gap in the economy that cannot be easily closed .... They said Buhari can handle it all alone and does not need ministers
We told them that the financial policies of the APC govt was scaring investors and stifling investment ... they said Nigeria can do without the investors

Today, They are losing their jobs, losing their businesses, paying double for power supply, facing true hard times ..... and I sit back and ask, why are these zombies so dumb?

Akaujaa:
Imagine if the APC had won this case using the federal might, people would have rained curses on Buhari and APC, accusing them of stampeding the opposition. Now, what baffles me is that people are still cursing Buhari and APC, even though the judgement favoured their party candidate. What do people really want or do they think that the APC-led government is weak and so cannot dictate or manipulate the supreme court? I think Buhari means well for Nigeria.

People like you should not be allowed to peddle lies for long. This is beyond APC as it's an uphill task to compromise 7 or more judges at the same time.
As a matter of fact, this ruling proves APC compromised the judges at the tribunal and appeal court. Otherwise their rulings can't keep getting upturned by the Supreme Court.

APC is evil..... Kapish

Any sane Nigerian will agree with Fayose. If you disagree, check your sanity.

By 2019....

Nigeria would have been finished economically

There will be no opposition to check the actions of the Buhari govt.

Elections will be mere formalities as all electoral structures must have succumbed to the dictates of the desperate APC govt.

Nigerian masses can wail all they like and that would amount to nothing

Let it be known that following the precedence set by Buhari on the opposition, APC will never allow their defeat through the ballot. They'll rather die to retain power than hand over to an opposition that would persecute them same way Buhari is currently doing to PDP.

By then, we would have successfully and tactically ended democracy as we know it.

Then why must thr budget be 6trillion if you cant fund it? Where is the austerity in the budget?

So they can be fined 6trillion for 2017 budget?
So that Buhari can come up with restriction policies that negate free trade?
So that when 1 dollar equals 500naira, their investment will be useless?

This APC govt is extremely dull. They have done everything in the books aimed at discouraging foreign investors and FDI inflow.

They should quit begging investors..... the are not as dumb as the Buhari cheerleaders on nairaland.

Too late.... Chibok girls must be rescued or manufactured.

It can never be accepted by the local and international communities that there are no chibok girls as this was Buhari's major campaign promise.

The only hope for Nigeria is true federalism.
No nation disunited in purpose ever makes progress
Buhari has further expanded the faultlines on Nigeria's demographics and its only a matter of time before Nigeria caves in under his watch.

There is no better time for unity and collective purpose towards set economic goals in the face of dwindling oil resources but Buhari seem to be going the exact opposite direction.

Unfortunately the Buhari cheerleaders are either students, paid apologists, tribal warmongers, unemployed masses who have been brainwashed to closing their eyes to the monumental looting going under this govt while distracted with dasukigate.

The mind structure of a typical APC apologist is proof to the hopelessness of Nigeria. ...... and I dont mean the paid apologists at APC situation room earning 250k per month and littering cyberspace with gibberish (like the one above me)

Ioannes:
I read comments like yours and am like WHAT!!! Do people actually keep their brains in their wardrobes afraid that if they use it too much the battery might go flat?

can you tell us okonjo iweala's efforts at diversifying the economy for 6years when the crude oil sold for $120@barrel?

now a minister who just got there barely six months and when the dollar is @ its lowest ever @$34/barrel is asked the same stvpid question.

I'm sorry but you really can't be well. try see your head doctor before it gets worse.

She was trying to grow the reserves but amaechi and fashola preferred it shared

She was the brain behind the agricultural sector overhaul.

She supported the SMEs through various programs

She grew Nigeria's FDI to Africa's greatest

What exactly were you ranting about?

I guess you expected me to believe you and disregard Richard Quest. You are a joke.

Anyone still in doubt about what Buhari's govt stands for is not just a zombie but imbecilic zombie.

Never have we had this level of fraud, deception, propaganda, evil and nepotism in Nigeria.

That goes without saying. All economic indices pointing upwards took a downward turn the minute she left.

The zombies believe the confused Kemi Adeosun is better but that is the case in their airheads

Nigeria needs NOI at this time more than ever. No matter how much we argue, we have no economic direction at the moment and currently headed for doom.

Illiteracy seem to be our biggest problem otherwise the zombies amongst us cannot be hailing mediocrity in the face of an economic disaster.

It's funny the zombies have been programmed to blame crude oil prices for our economic woes while there are a million things that could be done to resuscitate our economy.

Can someone tell me in clear terms this govt's efforts at economy diversification.

Everyone must feel this change. Ranging from market women, businessmen, white collar job workers, service entities, hustlers, entrepreneurs, students to even politicians. ....... such that the next time you are approached with propaganda, you go for the jugular.

OP .... the acting NDDC chairman is Amaechi's former commissioner of propaganda. For now they are recouping the stolen election funds spent on Buhari's campaign.

We'll join you in screaming. ... maybe they might have a rethink but the APC govt I know lacks sympathy.

Never underestimate google. There are lots of kids here.

Ok

Tinubu
Atiku
Obasanjo
Saraki
Amaechi
Ngige
Audu Ogbeh
Fashola
Fayemi
Timipreye Sylva
Ngige

These criminals are already in APC. Buhari can kindly start with them.

At the end, the target is to fool the docile, ignorant and dumb Nigerian masses.

While Nigerians masses are busy entertaining themselves with the arms purchase scam, Amaechi, Fashola, Tinubu and Saraki are busy looting/ recovering their 73 billion naira investment to Buhari's campaign.


Meanwhile. .... Buhari has successfully led Nigeria to a recession.

McDandy1:
Everyone in Nigeria believe he/she knows everything about building design and construction that is why we have a lot of abandoned projects everywhere. If professionals are properly engaged clients will get value for money.
People are asking for cost of building a structure without having an idea of dimensions & other parameters, the QS isn't a magician or sorcerer we only work on information given and market factors.
It really cost less to employ the services of architect, civil Engr, QS, ME Engrs because they will look at your budget and advise you on methodology and alternative materials.

Wouldn't it be nicer to allow olumide4christ respond to the half queries as they come? Or are you same as the OP as I see you just registered 3 days and already having a go at why there are uncompleted buildings everywhere.

There are ballpack and generic estimates without sufficient estimate basis. Its left for the QS to qualify his estimates highlighting the vulnerabilities that can only be cleared with sufficient details. This would even attract him more businesses rather than telling a potential customer to either provide all details or go to hell.

What will be your quick estimate for 4nos x 4 Bedroom terrace Duplexes with average finishing and all rooms ensuite. Assume a raft foundation will be required.

This FG and APC aint serious. What of the other state governors? What of Aregbe and Ambode?

Unfortunately Nigeria has gone to the dogs. What of the weightier matters?
Tax increase to 35%
Subsidy removal bringing PMS to 150+ naira per litre
Increase of electricity tariff by over 45%
Introduction of tolls back to the roads
Zero increase to minimum wage
300 naira per dollar to a import based economy

APC and current FG shall get exactly what they've indirectly yearned for. Its a matter of time.

Ok

Ok

I support every policy that will stop Naira from becoming toilet rolls, our leaders mad crave for foreign luxury is the reason for the state of Naira.
Norway is expected to make a net withdrawal from its sovereign wealth fund this year for the first time since the SWF was set up, to help pay for tax cuts designed to stimulate the economy. Its $830 billion fund is the world's largest, holding about 1.3 percent of global stocks.
People like us are called fools and illiterates whenever we tell Nigerians to vote for credible leaders imagine this nonsense, as far back as 2013 when oil price was at its peak " the report by BGL Securities Limited revealed that while Norway, the country with the single largest SWF of $737.2 billion, has daily oil production of 1.92 million barrels per day (bpd); Saudi Arabia with $657.9 billion has 11.55 million bpd production; United Arab Emirates (UAE) with $627 billion has 3.21 million bpd production and Kuwait with $386 billion produces 2.78 million bpd "

Furthermore, it showed that Algeria with $77.2 billion has 1.8 million bpd oil production while Nigeria with only $1 billion set aside for the SWF produces about 2.2 million bpd , " absolute total rubbish.
If only Nigeria is blessed with visionary leaders, Nigeria would have managed to save as much as $120 billion as far back as 2013 and i want every sane mind reading this to imagine how much Nigerian would have as SWF with 10% interest rates as at today.
But what do we have?, " CHOP AND QUENCH SQUANDER MANIACS OR SHOULD I SAY PRODIGAL LEADERS ". it shall never be well with all of them.

Nice thoughts. ..... However the current power, works and housing minister and his fellow APC criminals termed it illegal strongly opposed the SWF and termed it illegal

Implement true federalism nowwwwww ..... Nigeria cannot afford to waste any further time

What is Buhari's economic direction? I need an answer.

The author of all Nigeria's evil is Desperate for relevance

Not every idea can be muscled. Nigeria has no hope as it stands.

And zombies would this half news swallow hook, line and sinker.

How exactly would this govt predict prices after subsidy removal? Only the market forces will determine prices. The cabals who own the tank farms will continue to call the shots.

I hope the same sponsors and participants of Occupy 2012 will be on hand to repeat same. The height of hypocrisy is this geographical space called Nigeria is highly shameful.
