How old are you when Obasanjo and Atiku were ruling?
Where did Atiku amassed the money to buy loyalties of PDP members that OBJ has to beg Atiku to get the second term ticket?
Atiku did not just select members of the economic team. He was the Head.

Abubakar was sworn in as Vice-President of Nigeria on 29 May 1999. He presided over the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises[color=#990000][/color].

Above is from Atiku's Wikipedia page. They sold HUNDREDS of companies.

I am a full grown adult when Atiku was selling those assets. I know what I am saying. So I ask again.
What did Nigeria gained from the selling of HUNDREDS of companies during OBJ/Atiku's time in office? Why should we trust them to sell remaining assets now?

mfm04622:
OBJ handed over the economy to Atiku. Handed over. He was the head of the economic team, not OBJ! Atiku reminded us of that fact when he launched his policy paper. You still didn't answer the question. What did Nigeria as a whole or the common Nigeria gained from the deregulation Atiku carried out in the past?

mfm04622:
How did the deregulation Atiku did under OBJ fared? What exactly are we enjoying with the deregulation that we will trust him to do it again? This govt did not increase the tax rate. It has been same for a long time

mfm04622:
Govts need income to function! Taxes and income from crude oil are Nigeria's main sources of income. That is the relationship between the two.
For oil, the price is not within the control of Nigeria. When oil price go low, Nigeria usually experience recession. In fact, not only Nigerian. The last low crude price sent ALL countries that depends on oil into recession! So reason all govts in Nigeria have been shouting they want to diversify the economy. What they mean is they want to reduce dependence on oil so the country won't go into recession when oil price fall. So one way of reducing dependence on oil is to increase tax collections. If tax collection is so high that oil revenue is less than tax collected, we won't care if oil price is high or low. Hope you understand now

mfm04622:
We are talking of stopping dependence on oil, which mean boosting tax collection and Atiku is talking of slashing tax rate. What will be the benefit to ordinary Nigerians with this slashing of tax rate? This will benefit the rich only. Atiku is deceiving you all with sweet nonsense!

Alright let's make this work. I've gone through the thread from the first page to the last page and I'm honestly inspired learning how people came across their fortune. I've also shared mine, became a millionaire at 23 (cryptocurrency investments and trading). 2019 is going to be a massive year for me and I'm opening up an opportunity to a few of you on here. I need dedicated people who can work. Yeah I know you all feel inspired but behind these millions are serious work. I don't want someone coming to me to beg for money, there's no free money anywhere and I honestly don't have money to dash out, but the little I have I shall give, which is pointing you to the way to make your first million next year legitimately.

To qualify, you must be in atleast one of these categories:
*You should be a graduate currently serving(preferably in schools)
*An undergraduate.
*Determined to work hard and be goal oriented.
*Ready to use your brain because this is going to be very tasking but pay will be worth the work and I guarantee you 1million by this time next year.

Please I'll repeat again, I am not giving out free money. I will only furnish you with every information you need and give you clues on how to fish then the ball will be in your court.
Interested people should drop their email, and I'll email you my contact. Thanks

Was 26.

Graduated school in 2004. Then applied for various jobs. Any that was available. I needed seed capital for my dream. I recall trekking Trans Amadi in PH dropping CVs to companies. Many oil and gas servicing firms. I even went to Primary and Secondary Schools to look for teaching jobs. Come see shakara untop my 4.01 Second Class Upper. But I couldn't be bothered. I knew I needed to get a job first, then raise seed capital even if I wanted to start a business. Background was humble and family was just managing. Wrote various aptitude tests for banks like Intercontinental, other banks, Freisland, Diageo, LNG, etc. and another one with an Oil and Gas Agency. First Job was with a bank. Old Generation Bank still existing today. Got a job as a Banking Assistant Graduate Trainee. Went to Lagos for 1 month training and posted to the Eastern Part of Nigeria. While in the bank in 2007, the Oil and Gas Agency finally called. Their recruitment took super long. Left First Bank like crazy. Salary in the Bank was 59,000 back then. One of the lowest paying.

In my new job, housing allowance alone was back then was 1.6 Million annually. Salary about 200k monthly. Not to mention hazard, offshore, etc. allowances. I was 26. I recall I called up my friends in the bank and jokingly told them they are all small boys.. .Finances have never gone below 1 million naira. Savings alone with Work Staff Cooperative Society is multiple millions. ONE IMPORTANT THING IS I KEPT MY LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES LOW and still do. Never believed in the ''I need to upgrade so people know I have arrived'' mentality. Acquired 4 properties. 2 Lagos and 2 back home. Built first house in Lagos.Added two shops to the front section. Completed and rented all flats and shops out. I still live in a rented apartment.

However, money in the bank and dormant salary/income doesn't bring returns. Money is a messenger and money doesnt like being idle. You need to send it on good errands to bring more money, and the cycle continues. Also, there is time value of money and money depreciates. With all these at the back of my mind, I urgently needed to transfer a lot of my finances into assets that will generate income. This is still my biggest challenge today. I focused on greatly on developing my skills and myself professionally in my area of expertise. I eventually set up a Consulting Firm/Company in my area of expertise with freelance workers. I read a lot, pay for courses myself. Coupled with work sponsored courses. I love to read about wealth creation and financial intelligence. I have a crazy collection of over 20 books. Kiyosaki, Trump, etc. I love watching Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez etc. on Youtube at my spare time just for encouragement. My job is still there by Gods grace. Consulting firm is growing strong. Now Consult for both Upstream and Downstream Companies. Trying my best to brand the company with a good website, good band image etc. Currently, I have the desire to open a conglomerate to diversify to various sectors. Picture Dangote Group. Called up a lawyer for advice. I intend to go into a lot of business ventures. I needed daily revenue so currently planning to open a lounge/cafe/bar and plaza anywhere after Ajah Axis in Lagos. Searching for property currently. My Consulting brings money but you have to chase contracts and bids etc. Plus, contracts dont come easy. Also, price war between contractors drives down profit margins a lot. Need something with daily returns so thought I should open my own Lounge/Bar/Cafe with a small plaza for sharwama,asuun,nkwobi, fried potatoes etc.That is my next project. Also, intend to follow Grant Cardone's idea-''build multi-family dwelling housing instead of single units''. Intend to do this with the other land in Lagos.


ONE BIG MISTAKE I MADE WAS NOT LISTENING TO MY LATE MUM. She forces all her kids to learn a vocation/a skill regardless of how highly educated you are. Personally, she wanted me to learn welding. I felt I was too educated for it. Perhaps by now I would have been constructing Sky scrappers and handling huge projects with my current knowledge and exposure.

GRATEFUL

Posted a few diagrams to educate people in a glimpse.

olujastro:
At 24 through salary, just a few months after I started working.

Since then I've made and lost millions trying to grow wealth. Bought land, shares and last year, crypto. Also ventured into several online investments where I gained and lost as well.
If only I had clairvoyant abilities and know when to cash out. Recently lost 4m to crypto and I'm selling what's left .
Looking for new investment ideas.

Inasmuch as I dislike Buhari's way of leadership, it will be an unwise thing for me to do if I don't applaud him and his administration on needs that matters. What Osinbanjo just said is the unadulterated truth. Not that we are too young to rule Nigeria but we're too young to lead Nigerians. If a youth becomes our president today, it's clear that the youths of this country will use it to their own selfish advantage. Things will become worse beyond reasonable measure. Everyone will be striving for unnecessary attention and hitting up the polity without justifiable cause. Imagine Sowore playing on the sensitivity of well-meaning Nigerians by telling us to take it back. Please help me to ask him that what exactly are we taking back cuz the last time I check, we have no business in Aso Rock. It's even a privilege that Buhari is being considerate. With the way we all have abused his leadership, he should have ordered an executive order-09 preventing young Nigerians from ever governing Nigeria again. But the few integrity left in him wouldn't let him do. Passing a bill would have been the best idea but those senators in our legislative arm of government may also take advantage of it. Throughout the world, it is conventional that the youths will lead in the future only. We're the true leaders of tomorrow. Let us give them our today...
Tomorrow is ours!

Ambode, your cowardice stinks.

You knew there was no coming back for you under APC. All you would have done was escape to another party with the Governorship seat; bear the consequences of fighting tinubu. Build your own loyalists no matter how short a time.

If you get impeached, play on the people's emotion by acting like the villain and come back like a 'Messiah'.

I guess the fear of the unknown took the better off you.

budaatum:
If Buhari would just nominate a woman to a responsible ministerial post, like say Minister of Finance, we would know he does not mean women should remain in the kitchen.

And until the day he does, my bubu, you are a male chauvinistic pig and I am very not happy with you!!



I hope he hears me!
