Nigeria is blessed with many resources above oil, it only take good leaders to be incharge. Pdp led administration has ruined our economy by depending solely on oil product and these had generated to uneployment, currency devaluation, corruption and still counting.

With GMB/APC led administration, i so much believe in good and rapid transformation, change and development.

If you take away oil Nigeria will survive and also move on, remember many countries like malaysia, ireland, still counting did not have oil and their economy stay strong.

GMB will want and GMB will have.

Now you've been cornered to reality

It is nice you are identifying the alternatives but it doesn't take away the hard times ahead

In 2019, the question will be asked....'why did we have to through all this?'

And you can be sure that none of the campaign promises can be achieved without the crude funds.

If you were smart enough, you would have gotten the message and pray for Nigeria

For the love of Nigeria, GEJ must win

mumu9gerian:
and how come we had more money in the foreign reserves then than now.Abeg,talk another thing

The steep drop in the price of crude affected the foreign reserve in 2014 and was used in stabilizing the economy.

And the benchmark cost of crude used in budgeting at that time was much less than the growing price of crude. So the increasing crude price under OBJ compensated a bit for the drop in production

Besides the capital projects at those times were very minimal compared to now. Obj put money in the reserves without engaging capital projects.

cyril83:
Blow it up and see if agriculture will not pop up and take over your oil, remember agriculture was used to discover oil and none of the agricultural states complained of using agriculture product to fund the nation.

You and your people are just bunch of greedy idiats.

Nigeria's structure today cannot be sustained by agriculture

Infact as at today, Crude is responsible for 78% of our GDP.

Agriculture as at today cannot pay even 10% cost of government much more funding capital projects.

No need throwing words around, every growing sector needs the support of oil and gas at least for the next 8years before they start contributing significantly to the economy.

Take away oil today, dollar would sell for 400naira. And for an import economy like ours.... we are in deep shit under a GMB's presidency

Badgers14:
for people making noise about Niger delta militants reaction if GEJ lost the election, don't forget how OBJ picked up Asari Dokubo in the heat of the moment and threw him in prison without a fuss . OBJ/GMB are "trained" military generals. Tompolo and Dokubo are more of street thugs

If you remember, The arrest of asari dokubo caused the reduction of national crude production from 2.5million barrels a day to 700k barrels in two weeks. Nigeria was loosing 1.8million barrels a day because of Asari's arrest.

At $100/ barrel at 60% JV share, that was $108million dollars a day lost because of the arrest of one man.

Fastforward to today, it can only be worse because the price of crude is already unfavourable.

Why was Asari released afterall?
Why grant Amnesty when you could use force?

Hard times lie ahead for Nigeria if GEJ loses.... SIMPLE

cyril83:
Whose oil ? Oil belongs to Nigeria as a country. What voting patterns ? Are you telling me no one voted for GMB in bayelsa, cross river , akwa ibom , rivers and delta ? And samething goes to GEJ in the north.

You need to have a rethink bro.

No amount of online arguments can change reality.
We are few days or weeks from facing reality if GMB wins.

I give you another perspective
If the boys blow up a facility today, it will take a minimum of 2 to 3 years to fix it back if engineering, procurement, fabrication and installation is involved.

And that is if the company is interested in fixing the facility under uncertain security and economic conditions.

In other words, the reaction that will trail the announcement of a GMB win could haunt the country and the economy until Buhari's tenure is over.

This is reality.... arguments dont take it away.

cyril83:
Niger delta militants are only making noise, ODI 's bombardment by obasanjo is still very fresh in their brains. The only thing asari and tompolo could do is to relocate to benin republic.

GMB is more active than OBJ in handling militant or terrorists.

You really believe you can suppress the creeks and take their oil? Think again

Nigerians are wiser and we now understand our differences. The voting patterns are testament to that.

Reality will hit us all very soon.

socialmediaman:
Actually for the love of Nigeria, GEJ needs to go. This country is bigger than him to be wasted further. He has caused more harm than good to this country, infact Nigeria has never been divided so much like this since after the civil war

You are totally wrong. Get this facts clear

Nigeria is divided because he is a minority and Nigeria has to choose between a majority and a minority

The choice of choosing a minority only exposed our deep ethnic differences... it was never about GEJ as a person

If GEJ was a northerner, there won't be any need for any elections as he would have coasted to victory with 90% considering his achievements across all sectors. He would have been compared to Obama

But the real Nigerian trouble starts if GMB wins. Then the minority would definitely prove they feed the majority by witholding our national revenue and that my friend. ... will be very ugly

I repeat for the love of Nigeria, GEJ must win.
This is the position of all key investors, committed stakeholders and unbiased participants.

Unfortunately the electorate is made up of illiterates and we have no option than learn the hard way if GMB wins

The malfunction of the card readers is a tool in PDP's hands.

In a case the results dont favour GEJ, I see the results being cancelled.

APC played into PDP's trap by openely canvassing for the use of card readers.

Ok

For the love of Nigeria, GEJ has to win.

The uncertainties under Buhari and the Niger Delta reaction spells doom for Nigeria.

The card reader incident will be a trigger for unprecedented court cases.

Manual accreditation was not implemented until 1pm when most frustrated eligible voters had left the PUs because of the failure of the card readers

Jega should be prepared to face the gun as all unbiased stakeholders shared the same fear on the insistence of a first time use of a technology in a tensed presidential election.

Ilekeh:
Puerile reasons to continue with an incompetent president.

Hope the Buhari has won

I'll be right here ticking off the events as they unfold.

How do we avoid the impending dangers to Nigeria’s economy and existence under a Buhari presidency?

We must need to face reality as there is no magic in governance. Extremely hard times lies ahead for this country if Buhari ever emerges victorious. 

How do you explain to a Niger Deltan that despite GEJ's achievements in almost all sectors, roads, bridges, railways, agriculture, automobile, alamajiri schools, new universities, fertilizer and ghost worker scam elimination, freedom of press, FOI, free and fair elections, power sector. .........etc, he is still booted out.

What will stop the creeks from going haywire again? Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.OBJ's use of JTF force could not help as no Oil producing company will risk producing crude and killing staff in a volatile region.

GEJ under Yaradua had to get down to the creeks to to talk to these boys and effect the amnesty program because they found him as a representation in government.

It will be impossible to convince a ND minority albeit a militant that their own was not persecuted out of office. And that will be the theme of their new struggle.

The long term solution to this mess is implementing the Confab report and enthroning true federalism.

A lot of opportunities are springing up around Africa and the IOCs are already geared towards investing in these newer and saner climes than invest in an unstable Niger delta .

And while these troubles persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investments will seize in all sectors. 

Unfortunately, even if the Nigerian troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one strategic location along the multi- kilometer trunk lines to continue to wreck havoc to the Nigerian economy.

 Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015. 

Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished. And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face

Only last week, they creek boys seem to have resumed activities by kidnapping at Yoho facility operated by Exxonmobil and have shut in 80KBD already. Are we ready for this for the next 4 years?

The entire world stands to benefit from a crisis in the Niger delta. Its not a coincidence that USA who abandoned us at the height of bokoharam is busy shouting for change in govt .

Crises in the ND will reduce supply of crude to the Oil market and that would drive up the price of crude for producing countries.... But at Nigeria's expense.

Is Buhari is any way a better Democratic president than GEJ? Is this risk worth it?

Nigerians.... Be Warned!!!

Unfortunately nothing points to rigging in the short video.

All I see is an overfed Amaechi tout shouting ...'is this an election? ' apart from that, every other person was going about their voting peacefully
