In this race of US Presidency, most igbos that I have come across in the Nigerian populace tend to support Trump's bid even with all his hate speech about Nigeria and I begin to wonder what we tend to benefit from this.

Their loss.

The people that will lose revenue is the Enugu people. Enugu State does not contribute Nada into the purse of the Federal Government.

They can sit at home for One Month.

The Federal Government should move the University of Nigeria back to Calabar,where it was originally until Azikiwe moved it to his mother's village in Nsukka.

--Modified-

To the Young man down below who does know the history of Nigeria well,let me educate you a little.


Even devil dey shever @ d sight of ur ignorance!

The first Capital of Nigeria was Calabar.
The University of Nigeria was in Calabar.
Nnamdi Azikiwe's mom was from Nsukka.

For those that attended UNN,will tell you about ZIK Hostel opposite the second gate. That particular land where the hostel stands,is Nnamdi mom's ancestral home.

And for Records purposes. Azikiwe started this moving of Schools to their villages. The next person to do it was Alex Ekwueme,the Vice President then who moved a Federal Polytechnic to his Village Oko in Anambra. Then there was Ambrose Alli with Bendel State University to his Village in Ekpoma.

Ibori moved Delta Polytechnic to his village,Oshiomhole just moved Edo State University to his Village and the list goes on and on.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe started it.

1. No, the PIB wont solve all our problems but it will take away the mad suggestions that we sell off the NLNG so as to shore up reserves. Silly idea

2. Last quarter, GDP was down 2.1% for a an economy with just one source of trade whose price has crashed. Is that so horrible? Go check out Russia, Venezuale, Brazil and Angola.

3. I thought people were screaming that TSA was an initiative of President Jonathan? TSA made sure all government funds were in ine pocket and it helped plugged holes where public officials steal money. Talking about how it took away money from the economy, blame your banks who rather than do the business of banking decided to be a cash holding centre for government and do nothing else which is why they are not bothered witb fubdibg SMEs and giving then loan because they have government money to charge CoT from hence interest from business loans did not concern them

4. FOREX policies have been effed yes. You are right

5. Please did you listen to that speech well? Did you listen to what he said after he said It wont be fair to treat those who gave him 97% the same way as those that gave 5%. Do you know he went on to say the constitution forbids that hence he will do his best to treat everyone equally? Please, propaganda does not work with me.
Besides, his speech did not spur the NDA, it would have happened anyway judging from the mad hate peddled everywhere

6. He tagged Nigeria as corrupt. Did he lie? You said he did not stand up to the British PM. Did you forget where he said he wont demand an apology from him cos an apology does nothing. It is mere words but instead a returj of stolen funds. That is standing up, an apology just greases your ego
Is good u mentioned Russia, Venezuale, Brazil and Angola

These country without doubt are in recession too

But can u compare it 2 Nigeria Economy that was formerly forecasted to grow @ the rate 7.2 % for the next 30years just few years ago.

Let me tell u the truth, that Nigerians are suffering is not just because we re in recession but the high inflation which is presently 16.4% according to the Beruau of Statistics.

The depreciation of Naira did not help the inflation too.

Talk about massaging Nigeria Ego!
For you to be a succesful leader, u should also be a Gud politician,

Imagine being a structural engineer And one of your proposed clients was told that u re dubious engineer,

Do u think the cleint will still offer u that contract, even if he does, dre must be skepticism and mistrust.


That is the exact situation Nigeria is in.

Thank u for enlightening me on the 5 & 97% speech.

Just like one of the Lawmakers said

The Government archaic and careless economic policies is what drove us into this kind of recession.

Yes there will be recession but not this kind.

TSA alone withdrew 3.4trn from our Economy

Forex fixed policy created panic and drove dollar exchange 2 d sky and that triggered panic which led to massive capital flights from NSE & Economy in General.


Or should I talk about Buhari divisive comments in the international media (5% & 97%) that not only emboldened the NDA but also emmassed them with supporters.

Buhari terming Nigerians as Corrupt pple and not standing up against british PM affirmed that we re all curropt and that alone decreased foreign investment confidence in Nigeria

Politics•RECESSION: SENATORS DISAGREE ON SALE OF NATIONAL ASSETS by idensko(op):
Seek dialogue with Niger Delta militants •Redeploy Adeosun, Udoma, Ekweremadu tells Buhari •Kwakwanso asks for increment in workers’ salary

SENATORS were, on Wednesday, divided over the appropriate model that could see Nigeria out of the current economic doldrums.

The lawmakers, who began a debate on the ways out of the recession, sharply disagreed on the propriety or otherwise of the need to sell national assets to shore up the foreign reserves.

On Tuesday, Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, had advocated the sale of national assets to shore the nation’s foreign reserves, adding that such a step would encourage investors and calm currency speculators.

But at the Wednesday’s sitting, the lawmakers were divided on the idea. While some agreed with the idea postulated by the Senate president, others disagreed and insisted that national assets should be kept sacred.

Some of the senators who spoke against the sale of national assets the organisations could end up in the hands of persons who had illegally acquired money.

Canvassing for the sale, on Tuesday, Saraki had said “the measures should include part sale of n of government share in upstream oil joint venture operations; sale of government stake in financial institutions, e.g. Africa Finance Corporation; and the privatisation and concession of major/regional airports and refineries.”

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, on Wednesday, led the pack of those who spoke against the sale of national assets, adding that doing so would impose more economic woes on the people.

“[b]I have heard about the issue of selling our assets. I need to caution that other countries are not doing the same. The United Arab Emirates does not even allow people to have access to their oil wells, let alone selling them. And, of course, a country like Saudi Arabia, their budget each year is run by investments from their oil revenue, not even the earnings from other sources.

“So, while other countries are investing and we are planning to sell the investments we have, we have to be careful because I am not sure we will be fair to the next generation. If we must sell, we have to sell the non-performing assets so that people can turn them around and create employment,” he said.

Former governor of Benue State, Senator George Akume, also opposed the sale of national assets, adding that those canvassing the sale could be personhe sale could be persons with deep pockets and eyes on the assets.

“Our assets must remain for us: even Saudi Arabia didn’t sell part of their national assets as alleged. There are other areas that we can tackle,” he said.[/b]

Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, also a former governor, however, supported the suggestion that national assets could be sold, adding that the sale appeared the most viable option before the country at the moment.

In his further contributions, Senator Ekwermadu asked President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately redeploy the Finance minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun and her Budget and National Planning counterpart, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, to other ministries, to enable fresh hands to work on the economy.

Ekweremadu insisted that the president needed to look at his cabinet and put square pegs in square holes.


According to him, while Udo Udoma is well known to him as an accomplished lawyer, he believed that the former senator could do better in a ministry like Trade and Investment rather than Budget.

At this critical time, we need somebody who is more experienced to man the ministry of finance, so that he can be able to coordinate the strategies for this recovery,” he said.

Ekweremadu also asked the president to deliberately release funds into the economy, especially funds already recovered through the anti-corruption war.

“Yes we are saying there is no money; the oil price had dropped but we were also told that through the TSA, we have about N3 trillion somewhere. We were also told that the former Minister of Petroleum returned $20 million. We were also told that politicians have returned several billions of Naira, dollars and pounds.

“It is either that this is not true or that the money is somewhere and if it is not true, someone needs to apologise to us and state the correct thing. And if it is true, this money has to be released to contractors so that they can be able to go to work and those in the construction industries will be paid and then they will pay the school fees of their children and money will circulate.


“If we have money in the economy, I am sure that shortly, we will also find some reliefs,” he said.

Other senators who contributed to the debate on Wednesday also canvassed the injection of money into the economy and massive investments in agriculture, as well as diversification of sources of foreign exchange as some of the ways out of recession.

Senator Mathew Urhoghide said government must urgently enter into dialogue with Niger Delta militants to stabilise oil production in the area.

In his contribution, former Kano State governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, supported the idea of dialogue with Niger Delta militants, adding that other security challenges like kidnapping, incessant clashes between farmers and herdsmen, as well as cattle rustling should be tackled.

The senator also suggested that workers’ minimum wage should be increased, to reduce the plight of the workers.

“The current minimum wage is no longer realistic, due to rise in prices of commodities and services such that today, the minimum wage of N18,000 can hardly buy a bag of rice.

“It is, therefore, only logical for a review of such minimum wages and demand for higher productivity from the workers,” he said.

He also insisted that the government must pursue areas of affordable power to jumpstart the economy and ensure diversification.

TonyeBarcanista:
Well, I wasn't surprised by the lack of economic plan, my surprise is however what took people so long to see it.

The man Buhari in fairness to him appeared like one with a plan going by his 2007 and 2011 pre-election activities. He appeared in political debates and was impressive(still have his video). However, the APC unfortunately saw him as a tool to capture power and not serve using power. Even when they refused having him debate, I disagreed(was a supporter then) because I believe it is good people know what he was bringing on board. Power is good but to the elite, the masses want service delivery.

But nevertheless, people made their choice. Both candidates were like choosing between Devil and Satan(because there was no difference).

On Obasanjo's third term, though he would have stabilised the economy, but it would turn him into a political god, which is dangerous. I wish Obj left behind strong political environment.
