Do you really believe this trash you wrote? Will Buhari comprehend any of the issues Soludo raised? We all know that Jonathan didn't meet out expectations, but that doesn't mean that Buhari is the man for the job. Where will Buhari get the know-how to manage our economy? What has Buhari achieved without quota system to suggest that he's the man for the job?

Hypocrites. If all Soludo said is true, why are we not clamouring for people like that, instead of a 72 year old egg-head? What did Buhari achieve in the past 29 years to suggest that he understands the Nigerian economy? You think governance is only anti-corruption?

People with the ability to perform abound in Nigeria, no doubt but will they get the chance? Some idiots are here shouting "sai Buhari" all over the net. Why can't APC give us something different from what PDP has to offer? All we hear is change everywhere. As long as I am concerned, it is only change from PDP to APC. Not change in government policies. That's not change.

We need some people who understand the signs of the time. Please, stop insulting Nigerians by mentioning Buhari when serious issues are being discussed. It is obvious that Nigerians are not ready to move forward, with the type of choices we make.

Sai Nobody!

Tosman12:
can i give u 1million likes? sometimes i wonder were some youth drawl reasoning from. don't take side just reason with what he is saying...weigh it and say whether its true or false.
i know soludo is brilliant but i never imagine he is this insightful. [b]some of us working class understand how strenuous [/b]it is to survive, some of this kids that say GEJ 2019 dont understand the damage his administration is doing or will do even if the opposition wins and could not present a master plan to get us out of this mess.

First Corruption needs to be battle to save guard whats left which this administration will never or not ready to tackle. thereafter a real plan need to be in place to get us back on track but seriously this country needs change but not with Jonathan cos he aint ready to change that Game even if he wins

Boss13:
An even bigger problem. It will be worst with Jonathan and bad with Buhari. They all have to build shields from public outcry.

Bad for Buhari because he probably might reduce corruption and unnecessary government expenditure, both he might have no clue on how to kick start an economic revolution to will put more people back to work. Plus he probably might end boko haram and this economically will cost more money.

Worst for Jonathan because - we have to expect the same thing over all again and even worst because 2nd term is to saving for future retirement (him and his cabinet). Plus boko haram might spread to the south.

ogene007:
What is Buhari's economic blueprint or is it a case of 'when we get there, we will know what to do'. Please, provide us with what policy direction APC intends to pursue, other than to come and reverse all the privitization that has been done and return us to status quo. Where will APC get the funding for all the bogus promises they are making all over the place. Let us not forget the Tinubu and Amaechi were two key individuals who vehemently kicked against any form of savings from the oil boom era, first, Tinubu went to court over the excess crude account set up by OBJ, and go the supreme court to declare it illegal, secondly, Amaechi under the governors forum, opposed the sovereign wealth fund that GEJ set up, they wanted GEJ to bring all the monies and share between the FG and state governments. Coming to the budget, how many times has the national assembly increased the crude oil benchmark for the yearly budgets? They always increase it to ensure that less is available for savings. That there hasn't been meaningful savings throughout the period of the oil boom, has not been for want of trying by GEJ and his economic team, rather, it has happened due to the collective greed of the likes of Tinubu, Amaechi and other key members of the opposition, who today have become the self appointed apostles of 'change', who is deceiving who? Where we fault Soludo in his analysis is that he failed to state clearly that the oil boom money was shared by the three levels of government.

Luchitec:
No doubt, Prof. Soludo raised some valid points about the state of affairs in the country. However, Soludo's denigration of Peter Obi for leaving funds in Anambra State coffers while at the same time praising OBJ's regime for accumulating a huge external reserve highlights his doublespeak and pettiness. Moreover, if stuffs that transpired in the banking sector during Sanusi's tenure at CBN are put into consideration, then Soludo is actually overrating himself as an economic guru.

Immune1:
Not claiming to be an economist;but what i know for sure is that PLENTY MONEY IN THE BANK DOESN'T TRANSLATE TO BEING WEALTHY!!!

The pace of infrastructural development in Nigeria during GEJ'S tenure is highly remarkable and naturally it will take time for one to quantify the gains or start seeing the ripple effect of investing in infrastructure.

SOLUDO A DISSAPOINTMENT......JUST TOLD ONE SIDE OF THE STORY TO VALIDATE THE 'ASSUMED SUCCESS' OF HIS TENURE. I wont be surprised if this is a grand pitch for a position in Buhari's cabinet should in case he wins......Nigerians have grown wiser.....go and lick your wounds and leave GEJ alone!!!!

Certificate to a considerable extent,is a prove of one's intellectual ability.
If Bubuhaha's certificate states that he failed in maths,its simply means,he isn't good when it comes to arithematics,and if he is poor in that,how do you expect him to know when our economy is moving on,or coming down?.yes,he isn't the one that will manage the economy,but the reports of those managing economy,will be laid on his tables at one point or the other,at that point,how will he know if they are lying to him?.

No wonder APC told us that they will be paying #5000,to poor Nigerians monthly.if you multiply it,with at least 30million poor Nigerians,the outcome is in trillions or thereabout.please,how is that possible?

mpowa:
Na wa oh! Nigerians are funny sha! how we bring sentiments to everything behooves me. what has unforgiveness got to do with economic analysis? No matter how much he hates Jonathan, he won't have had enough failures to reel out like he did, these are not figures from the air, they're available statistics and facts, what has unforgiveness got to do with it?

XKZ:
Is a private firm/importer a government monopoly, Yes or No?
When a private firm has a monopoly on the importation of a particular good, it does not place any restriction on the volume/value of imports it brings in as long as it believes there is adequate demand since it's main aim is to make profit.

BraniacX:
You have the habit of ranting under the guise of a well educated/informed progressive and insinuate that anyone who doesn't share your point of view lacks those qualities but when put to the test, you spew and twist information not facts to suit your point of view and buttress your half truths and start conjecturing with loads of "if" scenarios (I remember you from another thread now). Unfortunately for you, you now have my attention cretin though you are and have always been undeserving of it. You're begging to be set straight and brought to reality because your opinion of yourself is so..........leviathan like bloated.
IMP!

XKZ:
This is not really true. The size of the market remains the same no matter how many firms are importing the product and companies will not import goods when there is no demand for the product.
Monopolies offer advantages such as economies of scale leading to reduced prices, large profits leading to investment in R& D, price discrimination in favour of the economically disadvantaged...
But we all know Nigerians were not enjoying this benefits, rather the benefiting monopolies used the privilege to extort Nigerians and then pay kickbacks from their abnormal profits to their government benefactors.

So because you are confident, the whole of Nigeria should follow your gut feeling. But you chose to ignore and even clamor that Nigerians should forget a mystery surrounding the eligibility of your candidate based on your gut feeling. You even have the audacity to say it is not issue based. Who are you by the way?

Rubbish thread.

The issue of single ladies will end if it's possible for ladies to just walk up and propose to any man they like just the way men do, but our society and nature did not make it that way.
You guys think it's easy to sit and wait for that guy you feel you can spend the rest of your life with? It's easier for a man to marry whenever and whoever he likes but its not same for a woman.


Imagine paying a "groom price"
There won't be any single ladies anymore

Tell me how u will see it when your mind is already made up for an illiterate. how can u want Nigerians to wish this away and have 'issue based discussions'. What kind of issue is worse than an aspiring president not having the basic requirements for the office he is vying for. Please, what kind of issue is more important than our constitution. What kind of issue is more important than the case of forgery surrounding the so called WASC from an aspiring president who is shouting kworupshon. He should clear this case once and for all so that we can focus on his manifesto. We can't go back to giving offices to ill qualified, favoured, god fathered, take by force individuals again. This is so simple. The world is watching.

why was the railway not working during your tenure?

despite the huge sums injected into the power sector yet phcn failed.

Why wasnt any of our university among the best 200 then? rather Obj built personal libraries and universities to his name.

All federal Government projects in the east was stopped or frustrated.

what of the monopolistic approach of Obj when only Dangote was allowed to import anything and frustrated other peoples businesses that were opposed to him.since the agricultural sector was better during obj's tenure why dint it add to our foreign reserves and massive corruption in that sector was still rife. what about the haliburton and other numerous scandals. Soludo did not tell us that increasing workers salary then affected our recurrent expenditure now.

The thing is anybody can come and reel out figures as if it were paradise during thier own era. This is a nice presentation but not without some personal bias I still think both parties can learn a lot from this if they objectively look at the salient points raised.

The economy roared to average yearly growth of 7% between 2003 and 2007 (although average monthly oil price under his regime was $38), and poverty dropped from estimated 70% in1999 to 54% in 2004. Obasanjo was his own coordinating minister of the economy and chairman of the economic management team— which he chaired for 90 minutes every week. I met with him daily. In other words, he did not outsource economic management.

J12:
Whats the point of massively building up reserves when the country is dying of poverty and starvation? Is this not the same question the governors asked Jonathan when they wanted him to share all the cash in the excess crude account. The governors are now complaining that there's no money.

quit bemoaning what isnt spoilt,stop your self pity.Nigeria dont need chad's or SA's or USA's help.they are just making jambourine,have you seen them sending a rat yet?

overhypedsteve:
idris deby of chad is a joker. They ask ;Ded him to commit troops to a multinational standby force he withdrew the troops and left a vulnerable FOB to fall in the hands of BH. Since he doesn't want a nigerian commander to boss his boys in the MTF then let him go and crew up with weak Cameroon. After all they are the same francophone countries. I know this francophone countries are busy preparing the stage for a French controlled lake chad basin.

On what Ground should a Nigerian commander coward boss the Chadians? How many Chadian territories are under Boko Haram's control?
