BreconHills:

You are fixated on a single point in time. The key takeaway is the over performance on growth estimates and the statement that forward growth is expected. You are nitpicking. The 2014 figures you are trumpeting were widely derided because they came about through rebasing.

There are so many things wrong in this economy but clearly the ingenuity of the Nigerian people has led them away from paper growth fueled by illicit cash. The system is correcting itself albeit slowly. Case: ikoyi and banana island yields are down to 2-3% and vacancy rates in ikoyi are up to 22%. Yields in university housing are 13% and agricultural related investment are averaging 10-25%. What you can see is that the economy is restructuring away from luxury white elephant investments that only mirror the illicit corruption fueled economy and are slowly reaching reality points that reward work.

It's a work in progress, there are huge loop holes and not a little incompetence here and there. Still it is is progress. For the university students who will point to the number of years they have remained unemployed - you have two choices, be patient or rework your skills and focus to economic realities.

May the days of flush money never come again.

So you know that the zoo is heavily dependent on biafran oil and that is the reason for the zoo attaché by force.

fx45:
The GDP you read about comes 98% from the South. Northern Nigeria is a waste of space and should as a matter of urgency be carved out from the rest of Nigeria.

Northern Nigeria contributes nothing but poverty, disease, religious extremism, terrorism and violence. Yes Nigeria needs to be divided

nuele:

You guys are being misled, Nigeria cost of production per goods is very high, poor electricity and unfavorable business climate... Tell me how it's nominal GDP will be high, more still, the rate of import is astronomical....

Where the hell are you guys getting the big economy from, is it MTN or Glo, communication industry that is even eating from the per capital income.

Ever heard of media manipulation by government?

Shut up!

Must everyone own a private jet, where can Mr. Adeleke go with his jet that his father or anyone else can't go with economy class

So because his father doesn't own one gives you or any goddamn blogger the right to quote figures as they like because you have fingers to type

See guy be careful, am not usually nice

proclinician:
This is what you get when you touch the people called by the name of God. Northern Nigeria tried and I'm not sure if there's an end to news like 50 ppl killed in Kaduna in just one night and as a matter of fact it's the new normal. SA tried and have to deal with economic recession.

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Alright

And for all those saying buhari never try to defeat bokoharam

Let me tell you all a secret
Terrorists are like hydra when their head is cut off then expect another head as an outgrowth from different parts of the body
Which means terrorists cannot be eliminated
You can only reduce thier activities and with time they will get strong again
They are like family. Take for example! There is now way someone can eliminate the whole of your family. Even if the person should try still there is going to be one relative probably your cousin that is still alive and with time your cousin will grow and continue the family legacy
And for all those saying why rehabilitate boko haram!
Let me tell you another secret

Every body deserves a second chance in life

Even shaytan(devil) deserve a second chance

I can bet my balls that sixty percent of these boko haram and iswap members didn't volunteer to join
They were forced into it

Citytrend:

So what about 40 seconds men boasting of being King-Kong of the Bedroom with mighty shoulders and muscles only to be a disappointment? Yet no one talks about it.

Is it not also so shameful that a Mack Truck passed through and your Keke is too fragile for the same high way. You should be ashamed of not driving a Mack Truck instead of shaming a pro who has been a highway for all manner of special purpose vehicles.

Lastly, na men like you be Mack truck, so you should be ashamed of being a Keke.

That lady is brave, she has seen it all. Great men here feel your shame for being a keke.

The poster works for saharareporters abi?

Go and buy sense bro. Gbaja is a known fraudster. When his client was awarded money in USA, he took the money and ran to Nigeria without telling his client he's been awarded compensation.

mrvitalis:

Name the Nigerian companies that produce electric wires let's see which are not Igbo owned

Do same for car battery

Jonathan gave Igbo's two international airport. How many of them are open today ? None

Elipsis:
How you conclude that I'm Igbo amazes me. However, if Tinubu wants to rule Nigeria, i think i should have an opinion as a Nigerian.

My extremely tribalistic and shallow minded Yoruba friend, please let it sink in your empty head that Nigeria is bigger than Lagos state.

Tell me, are you not unfortunate? Coming on a faceless forum to form Superman over a post that your name was not even mentioned in.

mrvitalis:

Closing of the eastern ports
Allowing importation of products Igbo's dominate the manufacturing in Nigeria ...like wire , car battery and car parts
Denying Igbo's international airport till recently
Lacy of promotion of Igbo military officers ,
Name how many south east commissioner of police we have

I can go on n on

Swear with your kids life that if your tribe is treated like Igbo's u won't complain

You see what I'm talking about? Look at all the insults over my simple post.

At the end, you just proved my comment right.

You don't even know if i'm Igbo or not.

Clap for yourself.

You've made it in life.

AkpaMgbor:
The white journalist's observations
1. That the Igbo man can do anything to survive any situation

A - You are correct on this.
2. That the rest of Nigeria felt that the Igbos were "too clever for their own good"

A - A notion the Igbos want the white guy to believe which was never the reason 4 the war.

3. That they needed to curtail the perceived Igbo dominance.
A- Another false notion you sold to fool yourself.

4. That the ingenuity of the Igbo was witnessed first hand during the war
A-... And this including what n what exactly?

5. That that same ingenuity was what they need to help them out from the post war situation and hardship.

A - Every tribe that as been tru a war will need its own ingenuity to to overcome the aftermath so no biggie here n the reporter also clearly stated that the Igbo need the federal government funding to aid their growth. Wasn't that what Awo did by paying igbo state in bulk the federal allocation which should have been denied ?

Biafrarep:
The Igbos really passed through a lot. For a single ethnic group to be surrounded and descended on by hundreds of others as well as massive support given to them by the British government, yet they not only survived to tell the story but has today, become more prosperous than those who wanted to destroy them.

If what happened to the Igbos, had happened to others, it would have been an excuse for why they are not doing well, but the Igbos are different, look at our cities today. Look at our human development. Look at our exploits. What makes the progress more amazing is the fact that there has been a state sponsored policy to subjugate the region since the war ended! To their shock, the more they oppressed us, the more we rise above them!!

The hate they all have on the Igbos is still very obvious till today as evidenced from what is happening in Nigeria.

They foolishly did everything in their power to keep the Igbos down instead of maximizing their potentials for the good of the country, and today, they are suffering the consequences.

When the WW11 ended, America was clever enough to know that Germans and Jews were naturally gifted which prompted them to use their human resources to advance their country but Nigeria did the opposite.

So sad!!

nero2face:
nice flashback, Igbos were down, but never out...if only some people know who an Igbo man is...so aggressively clever, May CHI continue to be our guidance...

solmus:


atleast lagos isn't as indebted as Dubai, and if you truly know UAE you would understand , Ras alkemah , Fujeirah and Ajman are just like lagos

even Lagos is finer than slums in dierah Dubai where Bangalees spit like monkeys... Take away Sharjah , Dubai and Abu dhabi and UAE is just a glorified desert

Elipsis:


Anybody with a contrary opinion, no matter how intelligent that opinion is, will either be labelled a flat head, a PDP or a wailer.

Several organizations will be established to praise Tinubu's image and tarnish any opposition.

Topics upon topics will be pushed to frontpage for Nairaland e-warriors to battle.

Eventually, it will degenerate to an Igbo versus Yoruba war...even if the major contenders might be from the North.

We've seen it all before. Is it not Nairaland again?

Herdsmen:

Tinubu can’t rule Nigeria, Everyone knows this .

But political noise is always allowed by his fans.

Buhari was former head of state, was much easier for him based on that.. lots of comrades on support.
Was a saying in the north doing last election.... if General OBASANJO ruled democratically for 8years .. General Buhari wil go 8 years.

If the Southwest wish to throw their presidential right in Apc

They should give Tinubu the apc tickets.

Staro:


Rumours have it that they deliberately gave Bayelsa to PDP to compensate for
IMO but my dear, the anger has refused to go. It were better for them to reverse
IMO and allow APC take Bayelsa.

That IMO judgement hurts deeply.
I wonder how Ihedioha is doing currently
