For me, Nigeria problem did not come over night and as such it will take a while to take the country to where we want it to be.

However, borrowing is not bad as a country in fact the giant economies in the world have huge debts. You can not develop your economy without borrrowing and I am sure Nigeria debt profile as at today is more than what it was in 2015 and we are borrowing as we speak now. Having said that, the purpose of borrowing is very crucial here, you dont borrow for capital projects that do not have any economic returns or benefits. The most important capital project is human capital which any serious minded government will invest in. There are issues everywhere, our FX market is operating in such a way that some people can become rich over night while some might never have access to FX for their business.
Everyday we hear about intervention funds in the agric sector but the question is are the beneficiaries of these funds the real farmers? And if they are, then what is the contribution of Agriculture to our Net export and GDP. Are we self sufficient in terms of local production of foods and how has this impacted inflation. Some days back govt is blaming the media for not telling the masses their achievement in the agric sector. Does anybody need microscope to see any visible achievemnet?

Government throughout the world is a continuation and if one govt completes the project started by another govt both of them should be given credits for it and it should not be a big deal. This is not a big deal in a developed economy/western world.

Nigerian economy as at today does not look positive and we must blame the managers of our national resources for it. If we look at the pointers, there is no genuine indices and variables or roadmaps that we can rely on to say Nigeria will be better in 5 year's time and if there are no such indicators then we can not say the govt is a serious one. Let's leave politics aside and reason like concerned Nigerians who want a better country for ourselves and our children.
We need a Very strong and serious economic managers who understand the economy and ready to grow it. May be Nigerian youths are so much comfortable that they believe in hopeless hope....Well, personally I dont support continuity here because I am yet to see any reasonable reason for it, not with this debt is repaid myopic reason.

God bless Nigeria.

It is always painful when you need to ride through the journey of seeking employment especially when you just lost one. For me, if you are smart enough, people have giving a lot of opinions/advices which I believe are enough to make a decision. Your options are enormous but depend on your field of expertise. If you have a degree in a sellable course then nothing to fear. One month window is enough for use to get yourself together and land a better opportunity. There are organisations looking for experienced online tutors especially if you can teach English online. The home tutor is also a very good idea or you can start talking to people in your network and you will be surprised how easy you can get help. Teaching jobs are always available for experienced and smart people if you still want to continue in that route, else, look for opportunities around your network and you will be surprised.......Best of luck

Holy fucking craps! This is ridiculous. Most of these things have always been there before this administration. If there is an increase in Net export or agricultural produces from private sectors which have gone to commercial banks to collect loans at high interest rates do which ascribe that to FG achievements? We expect more than quoting imaginary figures here. Tell us real achievements and we can figure out the small, medium and long term impacts on the economy and the people. Mention each sector and tell us how you have improved it and give us your projections and plans on how you want to improve further on them in the long run.

Anyways, talk is cheap. We Will claim our country back one day.

This woman is in pains too......

You may have to be very careful in making a decision here. Travelling abroad for a greener pasture might not be a bad decision, however, you have to be very certain of where you are going. Leaving certainty for uncertainty is a risk sometimes but taking a calculated risk might be worth it. Ask your friend working there some salient questions like how much he/she earns per hour, cost of living, taxes, etc so that you can have an idea of how much you can earn monthly after all expenses.

Also, you must know that Nigerian jobs are not secured and guaranteed with all due respect. If you are so sure that the work will be available till you have your own running itself and you are so convince of the future returns of the business, you might want to give it a shot but do your mathematics right.

As per your parents, I am sure you can have discussions with them when you must have made up your mind and let them see things from your side. They can always support you if they see reasons in what you are doing.

Good luck.
