This is your biggest mistake.

SE cannot 'counter' the north. It never has in history, and never will for obvious reasons.

You simply lack the political, diplomatic and military strength and tact so you either align or continue to fight a losing battle. Bitter truth.

This is why Yorubas will remain perpetually politically ahead of you.

Are you okay? You're politically ahead of what?

If you're ahead politically, what are you

1. Poorest globally
2. Highest illiteracy
3. Third and forth highest terrorist groups
4. Highest IDP in Africa and third in the world.
5. High mortality
6. Hunger etc

What makes you ahead with all these as your definition?

BuhariAdvocate:
there is no reason to fight north since we know our common enemy.

No need indeed fighting North. Meaning power will return back to North (Smiling).

TarOrfeek:
Let us think.

What if Kadaria 'Mumu' Ahmad started this scandal to attract pity and sympathy.

After all we were roasting her few days ago for her soft stance on Buhari and calling the government of a state useless.

Make una dey try think. Nigeria wahmen are snakes.

If you refer to her as Mumu, you're more of a Mumu, you don't have any meaningful achievement, but trolling and cyber bully.

BuhariAdvocate:
I know many of you guys that talking about 2023 on here are from southeast since all your efforts to impose criminal on us as a Nigeria president was failed.minority interest couldn't prevail over majority interest.No wonder
Many of them accuse southwest of betrayal. However I don't want to say anything here that would set hausa against yoruba Because of long term relationship.two certain thing would happen in Nigeria come 2023, first power will return to southwest or They won't be Nigeria again, irrespective of Who pdp present or apc present if he or she is not from southwest Yoruba people will consider it as a conspiracy theory which can't stand although hausa dominate politics but yoruba are the master planner hausa people values yoruba people when it's comes to politics Because they know we are smart.

Secondly if north insist that they want to use their numbers to return power to the north by force then I will formally congratulate Nnamdi kanu Because biafra will come to stay. Because of the serious protests that might occur in southwest would pave way for biafra republic I trust hausa man they will prefer supporting yoruba than let igbo go.

Did you hear yourself, Yoruba adult?

There won't be Nigeria if power does not return back Southwest by 2023, and since democracy, you expect Igbos to act cool without political considerations.

You told us that power is not given, that we should work for it, why not fight it with the North? If they win in fairness, cool.

don't hope for his disloyalty to his party,
ndume Will abide by his party rules,
ndume don't have two ways to go about it because he can not go to pdp.
any core northerners that goes to pdp will automatically kill their political career.

So... How did PDP won more states in the North with APC at the center ?

BuhariAdvocate:
[code][/code] stop talking nonsense. North don't play politics like you guys in the southeast. It will shock you when Fashola defeat Atiku or tambuwal. Kwankwaso can't win pdp ticket dude will decamp again.

I believe you

Considering the recent outburst of Northern various political juggernauts, over vying for the office of Presidency by 2023, it means the race will be between North and Southwest.

From the look of things, East and South will want to unset West by voting a Northern, will APC field a Western candidate, or square it up with PDP Northern candidate?

Just come up with possible theory.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs Zainab Ahmed says the Federal Government will look into gradual removal of fuel subsidy as part of strategy to boost revenue.

Ahmed said this on Thursday on the sideline of the IMF/World Bank meetings currently taking place in Washington DC, United States of America.

Ahmed made the disclosure while reacting to the IMF’s advice to Nigeria and other countries who still subsidise fossil fuel to stop doing so.


According to the IMF, fuel subsidy removal would help boost revenue and improve government’s spending to build more hospitals, roads, schools, and to support education and health for the people.

“It’s good advice, but we have to implement it in a way that will be successful as well as sustainable.


“We are not in the position to wake up one night and just remove subsidy. We have to educate the people, we have to show the Nigerian citizens what the replacement for this subsidy will be.

“So, we have a lot of work to do because subsidy removal has to be gradual and the public has to be well informed,” she said.


Ahmed said that since the IMF/World Bank meetings started, she has had high-level meetings on taxation and discussions on global economy.

“We spoke on the need to build more fiscal buffers because of the slow down in global economic growth and partly by the natural incidences that are happening around the world like the cyclone in Southern Africa.

“We are discussing between ourselves on how we can better manage our finances and also how we must curtail the increases in our debt.

“For Nigeria, we are asking the World Bank to review some of the initiatives that involves them looking at implementation systems when they are providing funding for infrastructure.

“We understand that it’s well intended but we have informed them that they need to review its implementation, so that we are not overly slowed down because of the new procedures,” she said.

All I can say is that if her party had supported this in 2012...the benefits would have been there. Low oil prices have forced their hand.

This same people that called Ngozi Okonjo IMF agent for trying to remove subsidy, Chai!

buhariguy:
i can feel ndume pain, ndume really love APC more than any apc senators, so ndume hate pdp more than anything, he can never betray APC to please his enemy,

Ofcoarse am not rubishing Obasanjo, each government had different challenges, Obasanjo met a low or empty reserve and a huge debt burden, however when he came in he met an economy that was just coming out of multiple global sanctions. Meaning during abacha's time we imported very little and our demand for crude oil forex was little. We had Peugeot in kaduna taking care of car needs, textile industries worked at full capacity and we all proudly wore What we produce, people travel using Nigeria Airways paying in Naira, we call with nitel who don't do capital flight like mtn, Delta steel plant worked excellently to provide some basic steel product we now use dollar to import.


But to the main issue, budget all over the world exceed financial structures if you want to revamp the national infrastructure, it's done in Europe, America and, middle east, as long as you have a payback strategy or Good credit score. Only Nigerians get scared of money market and deficit budgeting

Recession simply means you economy not expanding or growing yet your population expands by 2.5% per anum, but then how can it grow when the only comodity we trade suddenly fell by over 60% then recession is inevitable. As you can see we are out of recession and our economy grew when the crude prices stabilized and slightly improved even if we could never have $100 again we have reorganised our spending.

Good analysis there, but point of correction. You can't borrow 50% to finance budget, if you doubt me check economics data.

Secondly, Obasanjo met twice bad economy and stirred it right. You can't take it away from Buhari, that he's not a good economist by any standard

If not for the timely intervention of Osibanjo, Naira would still be N500 per Dollar.

iammo:
You clearly don't get me, but let me break it down

Obasanjo had a lower oil revenue from the start of his administration and there were gradual upward trend, this means obasanjo could use lower oil benchmark for his budget estimation, incase he proposed the budget funding with oil cost of $15 per barrel and later realise $17 he has money to keep in the foreign reserve and excess crude account.

For Jonathan on the other hand he had oil price once been sold at over $100 and his average was around $80 with steady 2.3m bpd, unfortunately US and Iran suddenly ended their conflicts and embargo on Iran oil was lifted and they flooded the market with very very cheap oil forcing global benchmark prices to nose dive. This sudden change in revenue without any savings forced states and local government to start owing staffs instantly in over 26 states. Slowly this brought about recession

Brother... Obasanjo had very low earnings from crude oil sells, the appreciation wasn't significant. The average of his first tenure (4 years) was $22, while Buhari is over $50.

The lowest during Buhari is higher than Obasanjo's highest, so... Why the recession?

If you're a good student Economics, you will understand that you don't budget outside your financial structure, but since Buhari's tenure, the budget has never been less than N7 trillion, please what's the percentage of implementation considering low oil price?

iammo:
Lets tackle this with facts and common sense, shall we? All recession in Nigeria had always be caused by one thing and one thing alone, dwindling oil prices, as we run a mono- economy. During the end of shagari 's stint we were already facing economic recession and his methods weren't so effective and even caused outcries like the deportation of other African in Nigeria. Dwindling oil price historically always leads to recession, which when not properly managed leads to power change like that of shagari, Jonathan, and Venezuela.

And as for the late appointment of ministers, Buhari's only excuse was he wanted full forensic auditing of all ministry before new appointment , and he made permanent secetary of each ministry fill up Any political or administrative vacuum.

Please Uncle, I assume you're learned, as such, behave as one.

Obasanjo sold Crude Oil
1999- $17
2000- $27
2001- $24
2002- $23

With Foreign reserve of $2 billion
Debt $18 billion.

Average sell of $22.

Buhari Average is over $50, with reserve of $26 billion.

Why making excuses for him? Recession didn't start during Jonathan as well as Shagari.
Dollar flew from N180 to N500, it was Osibanjo that brought it down to N350 when Buhari was sick in London.

Don't come here lying for kids.

iammo:
It's the Goje guy i fear , Ndume can't pull any surprises, he seem to be a straight forward guy, hate him or love him.

Goje stayed back in the Red chambers during the election of 8th Senate even when other APC Senator had been decieved to ICC and voted in favour of Saraki / Ekweremadu. Just Co's of the promise of getting appropriation commitee chairman , betraying his own party.

Conflict of intrest of the executive and legislature, isn't always a Good thing, especially if the opposition were desperate in seeing the government fail no matter the cost,just like Democrate are shuting down US goverment affecting millions of citizens just because they cant seat to negotiate with Trump,

PDP controlled 8th Assembly through desperate Saraki and Ekweramadu the sharp guy, this lead to delay in budget passage making corpers, road safety and police go 3 months without salary, and critical funding of infrastructure slashed to boost NASS budget.


.

I guess they were the reasons why Buhari couldn't elect Ministers, till after 6 months. I want to believe that they responsible for the recession during Buhari as a military head of state as well as democratic President.

Are you Yoruba?

Honor10:
to hell with ur block votes, where is Jonathan and Atiku with ur block votes? useless 5% votes with the loudest noise. Nonsense.

You sound frustrated.

They voted there own, but this time... They will vote there own against West, and to win any party they will seal it with block vote.

Honor10:
to hell with ur 5% vote. Nonsense. Slaves to the north.

You have a divided Southwest vote against block vote of South South and South East.

Thetruthshallse:
Wow!!! Reading Igbo people comment on this thread is an eye opener, so Igbo people finally accept that they have burnt all Goodwill bridges with other ethnic groups in Nigeria. That they can't be able to aspire to the highest office in the land? They are hereby promoting fulani/hausa to continue as president. Rich from people that usually call others slaves, maybe I don't understand what slaves means. SHAME

Go and sleep. You betrayed the South to get just VP, and now you think other South will support you?

Ask the same Northerners you supported then, to support you in turn.

Both yoruba and igbo should come together and unite.

Carry your unity to the North.

Sovereign Wealth Funds with crude selling at less than $60 to the barrel? I am sure the writer has no idea what he is talking about.
Sovereign wealth fund is like excess crude account that is used for investment purposes to generate additional income. So where do we get monies to put into the sovereign wealth funds when we hardly make enough to pay salaries, not to talk of money to build infrastructure.
Maybe the report was talking about 2013 when the dollar was overv $100.

Stop discussing issues you aren't knowledgeable about.

First, Nigeria's Excess Crude Account (ECA) is the same as the Sovereign Wealth Fund, meaning they're both one and the same. ... So in summary, the Excess Crude Account is literally a foreign savings account owned by the Nigerian Government.

Sovereign Wealth Fund, is an accrued monies made from selling crude oil above a year budget benchmark.
