PMB does not need a socialist economist!

Then you don't know your President. What is the political ideology of the President.

Rawani:
It is called sheer incompetence, the exit of their chief wailer is a strong wind that has exposed the rump of the noisy chicken.

Do you even understand anything the OP wrote in this flimflam piece. The OP was simply jabbering about things he knows nothing about. Take for example the section that dealth with the JP Morgan' issue. The real concurrent reason for carrying out their threat was the poor feeders they were getting from this government.A directive they had issued out since January was not returned with a reply or a whiff of action. And you and the OP are here absolving the government of blame and claiming the action taken by the firm won't affect us. Don't worry, by the time you start eating breakfast at night your eyes will receive sight

This argument is synonymous with the SAP debate of the 80's, and can best be described by this dialogue.

SpeakerA: We used to have just waffles and then chips. But the Dutch were the first to put them together. Black men all over the world will be forever grateful to the dutch for that.

SpeakerB: The Dutch invented Slavery( historical fallacy)

SpeakerA: Those MOTHERF**KERS

The fact is that this government, since its inception has done nothing to help the economy. It has been fraught with irregularities, mistakes, poor forecasting, abysmal policies, poor economic conjectures and poor or no communication with the global market.

these bloody illiterates from the villages East of the Niger.

And this is more reputable

An economist like soludo will be a major game changer to the Nigerian economy at this point.

We can expect a different Nigeria with 4-8years of soludo heading the economy team

Soludo, under this current disposition, will so fail, that PMB will jail him for corruption, sabotage and financial recklessness.
Also, I don't think your messiah is that intelligent and that silly. Intelligent, since it would help to erode the belief that this government is bias and has favouritism as its Achilles heel. Silly, in the sense that making Soludo the finance minister would seriously derail the supposed anti-corruption campaign of this government. Soludo is a centre-right economist, while PMB's choice should be a far- left socialist economist.

You really think not appointing ministers is why the economy plummeted?I disagree.

The economy has been sick for years.

In a community, there are 3 bakeries,
* In bakeryA, the baker is known for excellent bread which is always hot and sweet, but his payment structure is so stringent, that he allows no credit to retailers and gives no discount

* In bakery B, the baker is known for wheat bread which though nutritious, has a taste that is not so good. But his payment structure is flexible, and he allows credit to his retailers, in order to build trust. He also sells his bread at a discount rate

* In bakery C, the baker is known for stale bread which is neither nutritious nor tasty, because the baker claims it helps him save cost and the flour mills don't supply him at the appropriate time, but is suspected to be too lazy to learn new modern techniques on baking bread, plus his bakery is not run in a business fashion. Also,he doesn't offer credit, and has no discount offer


Which of these bakers is likely to get more customers, and which of them is likely to crash his business in the not so distant future.

If the SE is so great with money and economy, why do they troop to the "Zoo" to survive? And particularly YORUBALAND? Why are the biggest and proudest traders and conmercial gurus unable to bring common development to their land? Just asking.

It is that salient fact that makes them bankable. The jews, who are seen as shrewd and intelligent money managers only have a tenth of their population residing in Israel, their homeland. In fact, prior to the exodus back to their homeland in 1945-1949, it was even far less than that. The fact, that they have been able to make a successful business base, outside their home makes them more of a success than you. Hence the term LOCAL CHAMPION

Everyone knows not to trust SW's with money. Even when their bank account is in the red, they will still borrow more to throw one more OWAMBE party. Hence this unintelligent thread.

To be fair, PMB didn't ruin the economy. But he did help in weakening it with his supposed BODYLANGUAGE. The fact is no one is going to put his money in a market that is overtly controlled by the government, with an overburdening influence, but still at the same time is slow and inactive to the second by second changes that are part and parcel of market trading. Contrary to the lies being told by the media of PMB's popularity in the western world, the truth is that records speak for themselves, and this President has a terrible record. The business world which actually controls the political world, is in no way happy and pleased with this current government. In a year or two, we will feel the true displeasure of the economic world to this MESSIAH president. Business denotes being smart and knowing when to bend to others for a favourable outcome in the future.

Let me get this straight, Wike is going to acquire a loan of 10billion naira to persuade the judges of the tribunal, who are handling the case for his eligibility, against a party which has the influence of the centre, in a dispensation that touts the mantra of anti-corruption and has at its helm of affairs a supposed incorruptible individual, who so happens to be the head of the party opposing Wike.
This APC rivers should just SHUT UP and accept their fate. For God sake, don't they have children.

threech:
No matter what PMB does he will still b hated by some really sore losers and it shocks me, the interest of Nigeria be damned only their bloated ego matters, the mad, ravenous, saliva dripping desire to stick their thumbs in their noses and say 'I told you so' is what matters to them, utterly shameless........smh

Those so called "HATERS" and "LOSERS" according to you, are called the opposition. They don't have to like the President, for him to perform. That's what we call democracy. Its all about CHOICE. If you don't like it, then I suggest you GO AND DIE.

docadams:
That only happens when you have a clueless president.

Wisdom denotes being able to understand your true boundaries, irrespective of the public perception of the weight of your influence, and in doing so, still being able to manage those boundaries to achieve a considerable measure of success.

Let's be realistic, if he refuses the wishes of just 15% of the APC political hierarchy, they will turn him to roasted plantain. That is fact.

On this, I would have to agree with this US fugitive turned legislator. PMB, might have the dogged influence of the ISLAMIST Fulani north, but he doesn't have influence over the perception of the electorate, which Tinubu's sponsors enjoy. If he gets on the SW's bad side, the media will paint him for who he truly is. They might even do an overkill with their caricature of the President. The true fact is that PMB needs Tinubu, way much more than Tinubu needs PMB.

If this is remotely true, then consider your dear President an EX. You can not lead a nation as complex as Nigeria, without the consent of allies from all the 6 geopolitical zones. He might appear infallible now, because its just early days. But if he continues with his bias and rigid approach, his own party will tear him to pieces, long before the economy obliterates him.

In two years time, when the effects of JP Morgan's delisting and other economic mistakes made by this President come to bear on us, we will see who will come on this platform to defend the APC. The reason why we had constructive debates during the dispensation of GEJ, is because we had food on our table, we had jobs which we got through lobbying and influence, we had our roads been built, we had development going on right in front of our very eyes. But imagine, a situation when food prices skyrocket, when unemployment is at a peak, when infrastructural development is at a standstill, when mortality rate increases, when power supply surprisingly drops to an all time low, when businesses start to collapse, when misery, crime and poverty becomes the order of the day. When all this comes to bear on us, we will see who will beat his chest and call himself an APC supporter. I would advise, when this inevitability comes to pass, for massive manhunts for all APC supporters on this platform, so that they don't jump on the PDP train. If we get rid of them, they won't come up sometime in the future, to mislead us.

After all the jamboree, we are moving towards the actual date of commencement of operations as stated by Diezani. The APC, trying to curry cheap favour from gullible fools stated through various channels, that the refineries, would begin the process of distillation and distribution of refined petroleum a month after the inauguration of the President. But when the D-day got close, they simply used their media friends to disseminate new false information about the true state of the refineries. Now the real D-day as stated by Diezani is now the project deadline for this bigoted hopeless bunch. Fact: Body language cannot make you a sandwich, you have to make it yourself.

WombRaiders:
As much as there is no source this article has a lot of truth in it given the character of the main progenitor.

Buhari is an illiterate but that does not make him a fool either.

As far as I know Buhari is the most intelligent APC politician as this can be seen from the way he has imposed serious protocol around himself thus preventing unnecessary lobbying by the "wiser" and "sophisticated" bunch who are fighting each other for Buhari's attention.

As for Amaechi I know that Buhari will never appoint him as minister or any position that will warrant close contact with the president in Aso rock.

Amaechi should begin lobbying for ambassadorial post in his mother land Ghana.

HA HA HA HA HA, you don't understand politics. Having a crown on your head does not make you king. Did I hear you say that PMB is the best politician in the useless APC. PMB, since his first day, in office has been anything but brilliant in his handling of the political aspect of governance. He has failed to instill a measure of discipline in his inner circle, hence allowing his closest companions to run circles around him. Worse, he has failed to handle the cohesion between the various factions that make up the APC. Even something as simple as horsetrading is proving to be a workman's job for him. He has made a lot of future enemies in his party. With time, the list of foes will grow, and sooner than later, they will destroy him.

richesmine:
are u a nigerian? and wishing all that because u want pdp to return to power. this goes a long way in confirming d extent ur tribe can go in achieving their selfish and inordinate ambition.

I don't have to lie to you to be a Nigerian. Maybe thats what the APC have made you to believe. Throw that ideology, into the trashcan and brace for the future. Because its going to be a bumpy ride.

While the APC paid LIARS association are busy earning their daily bread in the tribunals, the PDP and Wike are busy burying the APC in the minds of the people of rivers state. Good luck participating in a reelection, which everybody wants to see you fail.

People come on this thread and demonstrate crass ignorance. They will mention interest rates, unemployment rate, GDP, GNP, NNP, multiplier effect and put together 4 different journals which have absolutely nothing in similarity, and claim they know what they are talking about. But ask them what the global economics world uses in measuring economic development and they will not know jack. They don't even understand this simple algebraic equation

Y= C+I+G+(X-M)+U
And yet they will be questioning the intelligence of an innovative economist like NOI who as at 2012 was able to forecast the state of the economy in this year.

Ugomba:
For me, the possibility of PDP reclaiming power in 2019 is quite possible if they can clean the party and present a credible candidate in 2019.
Whats your thoughts?

PDP don't have to clean up the party to claim victory at the polls in 2019. All they have to do is wait for the storm that is coming. From all indications, anyone with half a brain can see that in 2 years time, the economy of this country is going to crash. I am talking about high inflation, food prices skyrocketing, fuel scarcity, massive unemployment resulting from large downsizing, crash of our tertiary education system, incessant strikes from all unions, high crime rate, insecurity, high mortality rate, break down of law and order E.T.C. Afterall this, tell me who won't go to the polls with a empty stomach, to vote PDP. That's even if the entire country does not kick out PMB in 2 years time.

it will shock everyone when at the twilight of the deadline by INEC, Wada is picked as the gubernatorial candidate for the PDP. And come election day, he goes on to floor the over confident Abubakar. The only annoying effect of this would be Abubakar's tantrums after his loss and APC's wild accusations and insinuations about being rigged out with, even all of the Federal might at their disposal.

I feel sorry for the OP and PMB. They actually think that they can stop the inevitable destiny of the PDP govenor. This writeup is nothing but pure trash and completely wrong. Don't worry OP, very soon Akpabio will resume his duty at the Senate. Then you can watch as your deadbeat lame duck president does nothing to him, contrary to your psychedelic insinuations.

The statement by Olisa Metuh was illadvised and callous. The A simple no comment will have sufficed for a reply to the reporter who posed the question. But all in all, this was started by the APC who showed a tremendous amount of disrespect to the ex-president. But, really Mr Metuh could have handled it better.
