If the cost of keeping something running far outstrips its earning potentials, the ONLY & WISEST course of action is to LET IT GO..

If a leg is going gangrene /or has gone necrotic, rather than risk sepsis which is most likely sure death, the leg is better cut off to prolong life.

With Life, there is hope, This spells the [b]russian roulette[/b situation] of Nigeria and its national assets.. She is damned if she does but it's sure death if she doesn't..

What and what will be sold is the problem here, if its moribund assets like ajaokuta steel and the refineries, no problem including all our airports but that NLNG will finally deepen the Niger delta crisis, I hope someone has not finally misled PMB. We sold PHCN, still we don't have much to show and the people who bought it are even telling us that there will soon be blackout.

The thinking of the average Nigerian is the problem whether private sector or public sector

Attention! T all d wailers in d building, abeg you all need to do better defending una mama cos One Mr Charles was defending her on AIT yesterday & was on channels TV dis morning . Am telling you d man was so poor defending una mama.

I watched the guy on AIT yesterday. They have no case at all, what the guy was saying yesterday was that PEJ had no idea initially that the account was not in her name when it was opened. He claimed PEJ called the bank and asked them to bring their forms to effect the changes when she discovered the error made by the aide. I said WHAT? The man even said EFCC was consulted before opening the account for her medical purposes.

My take is that PEJ should have acted as if she knew nothing about the account, is she not worth more than 15k usd? trouble sleep, yanga go wake am. PEJ's greed is her albatross. No smart politician will claim ownership of such a controversial account especially if he or she is worth more than that.

Bolustic:
You need to tune in to Channels and see how Charles Ogboli (an anti-corruption activist) is defending the first Lady blindly here but I'm not surprised sha, the man relates to the people who are known to defend corrupt people so far money will exchange hands.

Do you blame them, this is the reason for the under-development in the SE and SS. They prefer cash whether stolen or not to proper development of their region.

remisglobal:
This sad, while other countries are offering tax reduction for business continuity Nigeria Government is shutting down business for not paying tax

So its good not to pay tax abi? Any business not paying tax does not deserve to be in operation. awoof de run belle.

Na mouth we get for naija, tax we no dey pay.

OP after signing the petition what next?

help me ask them o, na today we dey sign petition? they are all jokers

AZeD1:
Cheaper data is putting pressure on DSTV

including the harsh economic climate, if they like let them increase their subscription rates, na oyo dem dey.

The op is just full of assumptions like all the other economic analysts that has been blabbing over these economic issues.

No one, I say no one has been able to come up with any clear and objective solutions, even if the interest rates have been lowered some one will come up to say that if the govt have done this earlier, things will not get this bad. Now the interest rates have been retained and all we hear is that the cbn now has full autonomy and that they are right not to lower interest rates.

Nigeria I hail thee, let's keep confusing ourselves with all these assumptions.

some of the comments here are just very funny, this is why the Niger delta region can never develop.

They prefer cash whether stolen or not to development of their region.

What a cash and carry region

Peace pact indeed!!!! Buhari is only thinking about his barrels of crude oil and not any stupid peace pact.

there you again!

fareed69:
Why the Airport?






What of the security implications











Have you thought of that.

Privatizing the airports does not mean that all the Govt agencies in the airports will vacate nah. We are talking about maintenance of infrastructure and services for profitability.

mama peace is just taking advantage of the peace pact between her husband GEJ and PMB but she is taking it too far which is why the EFCC boss is fuming. Its even made worse that her husband or wife sef GEJ can't control her.

Mama peace ought to have let go of money in an account that is not even in her name. She is richer than the 15k usd nah.

This na confirm case of an agbaya!

I wish my SE brothers a happy holiday. Una de enjoy no be small!

One billion likes!!!

Check my previous posts!! That CBN governor, Emefiele is the worst CBN governor ever !!! The dude just has to go.

Cutting down interest rates is a key policy used in situmating growth in any economy undergoing tough economic times (recession).

Bank of England recently reduced its interest rates to 0.5% after the brexit vote!! This is the country's lowest interest rate ever on record. Do you know the great impact that had on the economy? The positive ripple effect is felt in all sections of the economy. Mortage rates reduced for those on variable rates which meant people had more disposable income. Lower interest rates also benefits businesses. I can go on and on.

Honestly, Emefiele has to go. Why Buhari hasn't fired him is just want I do not understand.

you want ipob yoots to go on rampage? PMB is just being tolerant and abiding by the Nigerian constitution not to tamper with CBN's autonomy. GEJ sacked sanusi but it was wrong constitutionally which is what PMB is trying to avoid, if not the man for be gonna tey tey

gabicon:
How do you explain Singapore Airlines, KLM, air France, British airways all better than Ethiopian airlines all quoted on their respective stock exchange? Margaret Thatcher had to privatise British airways in 1981 to return it to profitability.

If we want to be better than the best we need to start using yardstick that surpasses the best all countries stated have better economies than Ethiopia, we need to start looking at countries that transcended from poverty to prosperity in the last 50 years as model for our growth, countries like Singapore, south Korea, Japan etc

Ethiopian airlines remains a testimony to the fact that any Govt can run a successful and profitable business if it wants to. I support Govt removing its hands from most business ventures but not all. Its on this I maintained that the NLNG should not be sold especially in relation to the Niger delta crisis. It would have been better for GEJ to sell off LNG that PMB.

However for a start, Govt should hands off running all our airports, that to me is a better area to start than NLNG.

Alexk2:
Please tell us in three sentence how changing of structures will put an end to corruption in this country.

don't just waste your time arguing with those bigots, when their hero was in power, the structures were okay with all the looting. it was when PMB came to power, they suddenly remembered that Nigeria needs restructuring. If GEJ had won, there will be no shouts for restructuring, its just their own way of playing opposition to whatever the present FG does.

Izonpikin:
pmb is a complete case of quota system...if ot for quota system how can pmb be the president of a large nation like nigeria??...A man who has added no meaning to the country...

what impact has buhari added to nigeria outside governance?...even in the army quota system accelerated his progress to a general...

and your hero was the one who added meaning abi?

gabicon:
First of all I don't see the reason why government is involving herself in business, their responsibility is to create a level playing field, create the modalities of how business should be run in the state and collect their taxes. that said, what is the use of crown jewels when people are suffering, secondly the crown jewels is presently servicing mostly government officials in the form of salaries n running cost the people profit little.

Selling these assets will force our government to think on other revenue generation options, remember the reason most people don't start their business is cos a salary is still coming in the salary stops they are forced to think same goes for government.

Let the Chinese buy these assets and they will experience astronomical growth, if politicians want to buy it that's fine but the sale should be claused in such a way that the assets can be repossessed if the buyer fails to meet growth criteria.

Government of Developed countries don't own business assets they simply create an enabling environment for business to thrive and they collect their taxes, in Singapore their water works was once run by government but today it is quoted in the Singapore stock exchange, moral is an investor always makes things work cos his survival depends on it and any smart governments Moto should be the investors have to work cos our survival depends on them.

How do you now explain Ethiopian airline which is 100% Govt owned and ranks as one of the best airlines in the world travelling to all continents.

I think the FG is bringing unnecessary panic on itself. Things are not as gloomy as being painted.

The refineries can be sold and all the airports in the country concessioned for a start. Govt has no business running all our airports.

seunmsg:
They can sell the presidential jet and the three useless refineries. However, they must not the country's investment in NLNG and the joint ventures with oil companies.

NLNG should be a no go area for now o, its better to sell off ajaokuta steel instead

Firefire:
Let me say this, Bloombloom abi wetin dem call am can Go & Die.

Thou, I detest the ruling party and the current management of Nigeria, but enough of this senseless bashing without offering any solution(s). Btw:, we are not obliged to take any of it.

Nigeria will rise again!

its a lie, hope your moniker has not been hacked bruv, I de fear o

Izonpikin:
is pmb himself hardworking or just a product of quota system??...let him just mind his business and reel out good economic plans so that businesses can thrive...

For a man who kept going despite 3 failed attempts at being President says a lot of his doggedness. It is your hero GEJ that was even a product of quota system as he had to be spoon fed to become President by Obj.

It's only businesses who are waiting for Govt's dollar that are feeling the recession most, others have moved on and are thinking out of the box already bruv.

ericsmith:
lets put textbook terms n theories asides,,,these states upon federal govt support cannt even pay there workers salary...nd my elites r recommending restructure !!! forgetin say naa civil servant go suffer pass.
asides oil producing states n lagos,,hw many more states can stand on its own,,generate enuf revenue to pay workers,,fr structural project nt to talk of remitting fund to Funds...the truth is many state wil go into coma.
its is nigeria,,states govt are lazy,,even our private sector are lazy .. i thot nigeria wat a mixed economy until TSA came onboard,,,fg withdrawn fund frm d economy nd d biggest economy went into recession @ speed of 4G. Are banks suppose to depend of public funds.
buhari governance as made me realise implementin even best of the policies wonnt turn tins around... we all are nt ready to change.. oil marketers now buy onshore frm nnpc vessel in naira yet they clamour fr increase in name of dollar.
there is so much wrong wit us as people than as a country...leaders were onces followers

PMB exposed the fact that Nigerians are not as hardworking as we all think. This is the major grouse folks have with PMB, the man open everybody yansh no be small.

I was in a maritime stakeholders meeting with the Minister of Transport one day, you need to see how the so called big boys and players in the Nigerian maritime sector were begging the minister to tell the cbn to make dollars available at their preferred rate as if we print dollars in Nigeria. We have a very weak private sector in Nigeria who do not think out of the box. Those who do are not feeling the impact of any recession at all. Do you know that ordinary tiling for building is mostly done by folks from nearby francophone countries. The question I now ask myself is what exactly are we good at in this country? e be like say na dance and party we good pass. . Though we still have hardworking Nigerian folks but they are not enough to deliver the economy of our dreams.

by d time buari APC incompetent govt is through with dis con3, nigeria will be auction on ebay.

unfortunately you are lying, that your hero did not get re-elected does not mean you can just come up with some humpty dumpty theory.

If you don't cure yourself of your beef and hatred, oga not even mfm prayers can help your case.

tiger28:
With all the comments above me,I can confidently say that you cannot pacify some folks from a particular section of this country. They will rather see this country grounded .funny enough,they were the first and only group that went to Aso rock in order to beg for appointments from this same govt they hated. Children of hate!

you dey mind them? their comments here only makes them look more silly, they have been baptized with hatred and there is no remedy, none at all.

Its left for the states to now do their part. I love the way the FG is dishing out the figures of the money shared regularly.

But I think its high time the FG begin to get more serious with capital projects and be more visible like the way ambode seems to be making Lagos states projects so physically visible.

If the FG begins to make its projects so visible, the masses will begin to shift their gaze on the states governors to demand for more accountability.

Those who still believe that there will be fuel scarcity or price of fuel will just rise arbitrarily still don't understand we are no longer in the era of fuel subsidy and that we are now in the era of deregulation where every marketer has to work for his money or close shop.

How Nigerians don't understand this is amazing.

Arrow24:
bro am sorry to inform you that from yesterday night upto now as am typing some filling station in ABJ are having long que

you guys are not getting it, do you think the fuel marketers want to get out of business? or you think we are still in the days when they can hold govt to ransom due to late payment of subsidies, subsidy is gone. if they don't sell, how will they get money. The queue you are seeing may be due to panic buying from online rumors that there will be scarcity like the queues witnessed in lekki few weeks back. If their stock run out, they will source for product or else, they run out of business. Subsidy is the shakara used in those days to hold the country to ransom but now its gone.

Haba kalu, why have you pierced another arrow into your ipob yoots nah

its not fair o
