This is beginning to be ridiculously ridiculous the rate we are being bombarded with the miserable lives of the so called celebrities & their petty ways of life. It's either childish attitude of Davido putting on $120k wrist watch on his daughter or what Chigbo wore to church. Of what benefit is it to ordinary person that Tonto received push gift from her husband when other women have done same billions of times? If there's nothing informative to write, then let ur pen be instead of feeding us this type of complete rubbish.

The hypocrisy of the APC led administration stinks to the high heavens.

We (wailing wailers) tried to warn Nigerians that the APC government is PDP with a different name, we were called names and accused of tribalism.

I want to unequivocally state that PDP supervised the looting of Nigerian commonwealth but make no mistake, the APC led government is no different.

It is business as usual and like my friend will always say, there's no hope for the black man!

If you have ever lived outside Nigeria you will have no party affiliations whatsoever! While I was a student I'm the UK, I had the opportunity of recieveing healthcare from the British system, completely free of charge!

Our leaders should hide their heads in shame that we cannot even manage our health! How can a hospital meant for less that 0.0002% of the population get an allocation that is significantly greater than that meant for the remaining 99.98888% of the population!

Buhari by this singular budget has shown that he is as callous as his predecessors or possibly worse than all of them put together! Rubbish

Dude you are on point about the inflation thing however, if we have the will-strong will, the way to go is to install a iron curtain on imports.
Inflation will kick in, but if sustained local production will rise to the occasion and you will see a change in consumer's habit and taste that will encourage a thriving local industry.

Though not easy, we will have to make the ultimate sacrifice, it means we will suffer for our children or the next generation-25years period to enjoy.

The President should simply stop his grandstanding, his Mr-I-Know-it-all stance and call a town hall meeting on TV. He has to sincerely speak to Nigerians and seek help in drafting a strong plan from people across political divide to get us out of the wood in 25years.

A 25years old plan gives no one the illusion that there is a quick fix and early reprieve is coming any time soon.

We have to unfortunately cut most of the things we consider fun or the-good-life.
We will have to dig deep to come up with local innovations to get us out of the woods. We will have to show fanatic belief and patriotism to our country even at the ends of biting hardship.

My suggestion:

1. The President must engage intelligent Nigerians and Nigerians in diaspora to develop a concise, robust and fail-proof economic blueprint for the country with a target to be among the first 5 developed economy of the world.
2. Subject this plan to rigorous simulation to come up with plan B, C and D scenarios.
3. Call a National town Hall meeting via National radio and TV stations, and sincerely explain to Nigerians the blueprint, explain to them in lay terms the implication of going on with the blueprints, our targets and what they stand to loose as well gain after it.
Explain to them that it will get a lot worse, most of them may never get to see/witness the final point but their children will live in a much better society after 25 years.
All the Telephone companies must make all calls during this town hall meetings free: as this will be their contribution to bettering the country.
With call lines established so anyone can call in and express their worries and ask their questions.
4. call on all corporate bodies in Nigeria as well as friends of Nigeria, friendly countries who intend to support Nigeria in this plan and sell to them profits recoverable in 25 years and the advantage they stand to gain at the end of the blueprints. This could be in form Nigeria life time franchise protection or monopoly.
5.For those who will not support the country, ask them to fold up and leave the country so we can take a good stock of where we are and what is available as we take off.
6. Establish a strong economic curtain for imports and about everything.
That means vacation, education, leisure, medical tourism, television stations, cars, food, clothes, entertainment language will be affected.

7. Establish secured borders in the country with a clean census of the people and family in the country.
8. Establish true boarders for PWDs like infrastructures, Constructions, powers for the unemployed.
I can not say this enough: even if it means we divide our country into 6 geo-zones at first.
And in year make at least 2 Eko Altlantic Cities out of every zone: this will turn Nigeria into a one huge construction yard with boarders for Nigerians; unemployment will be zero.
Continue this every year for 25 years: in 25 years we will be able to raise 25*6*2 EKo Atlantic City-like cities in the country and 50 per region.
This complete with the infrastructures like roads, power and water utilities will turn Nigeria to the next world wonder and model for the world.
Establish massive agricultural lands and invest massively in crops of comparative advantage with a complete value chain system in view: we can seek the help of the last Minister of Agriculture and the present one to drive this revolution in Agro-Allied Industries.
9. Every year, pay all Nigerians through their recognized registered family dividend from the profits made and keep a savings for the raining day.
10. Yearly give account via the town hall meeting the progress achieved, what is left, how much from the milestone did we deviate and how will plan to make up for the short fall with the consultant review the data coming in yearly and making amend where it is needed.

11. Ensure, successful Govt. sign on to this plan and will implement this until after 25 years when we arrive at where we ought to be.
12. Make sure we develop a unique culture and language that identifies us.
13. Ensure expat jobs are regulated.
14. After the 25 years review the document, Nigerians will naturally ask then for the curtain not to be removed so we can continue to enjoy the economic bliss.

Gbam!

This is the real corruption Buhari should be fighting against.

Those who shared Niger delta oil wealth amongst themselves, cronies, servants and even hair dressers( Alikijah?) should be all arrested and forced to vomit the yams they swallowed.
