Politics / Re: FG Govt Borrows N473bn To Pay Salaries And Overheads. by micktoxin(m): 7:47am On May 06, 2015 |
PassingShot:Not spectacular? Maybe not for UAE for various reasons I don't have time to go into. However, this is the income breakdown for Dubai, which is the second largest economy in UAE after ABUDHABI. Real estate and construction (22.6%), trade (16%), entrepot (15%) and financial services (11%) are the largest contributors to Dubai's economy. Considering oil and gas revenue, with the exception of investment from UAE, was responsible for 80% of Dubai's income in the early 90s, if that's not spectacular I don't know what is. Dubai has been one of the diversification success stories of the 21st century. 4 Likes |

barcanista:London was just an illustration of how much a city can carry a country if a proper investment are made. I read an article saying Lagos economy in gdp (current 90) should have been around $250 bill (Aprox half of current Nig gdp), if the government had decentralised and given lagos state more power 10 years ago. UK is one of the most centralised in the developed world, local council can't even make their own laws, which is the opposite direction Nigeria should be following. Nevertheless, while it's true fiscal system will benefit the whole state, it still needs to focus on large cities or countries in the case of Eu (See Eu fiscal policy) to function properly. |

barcanista:Each state should be declared independent and allocated a start up fund like USA did before world war 1.In hindsight, if the government had done that like 10 years ago, economies of states like Lagos state would have developed to three times what it is now. I don't understand why Nigerian government is not even doing this? In fact many foreign investors will flock into lagos, because it offers less restrictions. We have too many deadwood states like ekiti and osun, and many more in the north who contribute nothing into the economy. By following USA model, every states will be forced to think and invest wisely in their own states. There are lots of states going bankrupt in USA of which the central government haven't offered to help them in US, as this will be at the detriment of states with great economies. In most western world each country improve their best performing states. If you go to England you will realise London contribute more than 30% into the United Kingdom economy. This is because they keep developing London to compete with other mega cities like Newyork and Hong Kong. Lagos and other big states should have gone really far, the federal government is definitely holding them back. 24 Likes |

Nigeria should have follow the footstep of countries like Emirate and diversify long time ago. Oil prices will hover around $60, as any increase will be stopped before it gets off, due to fracking. So Nigeria better start investing in Agriculture, education and Tech start up companies like India and others are doing. Oh.. subsidy should be stopped. Anybody with a common sense know this is now unsustainable. Edit. Electricity should be among the main agenda, as it is one of the biggest reason foreign investors are not coming into the country. 56 Likes 3 Shares |

abubaka101:I don't think this is the beginning of a new bull market for oil. We are just defining the new range, which is much lower than the old range. Frackers will open up the floodgates again should prices rise, the Saudis aren't going anywhere, and it is likely that Iran will be back in the market in a much bigger way after the nuke deal is signed (unfortunately for everyone imo). Prices got too low too quickly, and they have bounced just as quickly...but from here, material increases in price will be met with increasing supply and less demand. In London where I live, the petrol market is totally out of control now..with prices of £1.18 per litre (unleaded) common in the most areas. Combination of the unknown cap/trade tax, lack of refining capacity in Scotland, and occasional labor strife. But overall, we should be in a new range for a while I imagine. This will only get worse(even more so for Nigeria), and there is no way the country can stay afloat without borrowing from China. 1 Like |
