GeneralDae: I agree with the bolded but then again the only way they would have done that to make meaningful impacts would be:
1) Sack workers ( a huge chunk of the budget are salaries)
2) Reduce capital projects (this is what Milei did alongside 1 above)
3) Default and turn to IMF programmes of austerity and join the likes of Ghana, Ethiopia and Zambia as one of those who defaulted on their debts recently in Africa.
I am quite sure they would have faced severe criticism as well if they had implemented any of these 3 or all of them like Milei.
No easy way. Nobody expects or asking them to stop or reduce capital budget. How much percentage are they even spending on capital projects? The main issue is recurrent expenditure, excluding salaries ! They should cut the huge overheads being spent on govt machinery! A govt that went to Climate Change summit in Dubai with about 400 officials? |

GeeKudi: Now I see where you are coming from. You may have to forgive them on behalf of Jonathan because, apparently, Jonathan himself has moved on from that derogation of his personality .
Away from the grudge on behalf of GEJ. Personally, I do not believe that a country monumentally bedeviled by infrastrutuctural deficit and constantly on the brink of economic depression should 'cut expenditure drastically'. Our national budget is still very small compared to our population. Cutting it in order to reduce budget deficit will be the lazy way out and will only continue to limit our growth. Contrary to citizens' perception, Nigeria is a very poor country revenue wise. So, YES, Nigeria need to be very aggresive in driving revenue generation to be able to cater for our ballooned population. But What I also believe is that every kobo must be traceable, what you call fiscal discipline and accountability.
On the issue of corruption/looting, I would like to ask, who is actually corrupt in Nigeria? I started following public discourse in Nigeria since my junior class days in secondary school. It has always been our national chorus that Nigeria is corrupt and there is corruption in Nigeria. Presidents upon presidents always admit this. Legislators have it on their main agenda to curb corruption. Pastors preach about it. Banks have corruption codes for their employees. Teachers, lecturers, street fighters (Lol), drivers, market traders, NSEMPA forum members all agree that there is corruption. But no one is ever admitting to be the corrupt one. Is it just a matter of perception or we find it convenient to complain when we don't benefit from it? I cited Jonathan's issue, just as an example of how Tinubu himself used to criticize govts in the past. I am not a Jonathan person. I also referred to how he criticized OBJ, and even Buhari. All over the world, what serious govts do when they have chronic budget deficits is to cut expenditure to re-balance the economy, which involves implementing prudent policies and blocking leakages. This enables them to eliminate wastes and prioritize spending on critical, productive sectors. It does not mean there should be no spending. Just Increasing revenue without blocking the leakages is a waste of time because whatever comes in would evaporate. The same way Tinubu assessed other presidents before him, is the way he too will be assessed. We cannot treat him differently or ''design'' a different ''syllabus'' or criteria to assess him! |

GeeKudi: You call the liberalization of the FX market an economic mishap? That's what you reacted to initially, right? Maybe you should just let us in to your school of economy. I mean, enlighten us on what you consider an alternative policy? Borrow money to defend the naira? That was essentially what was being done.
That's why I said you probably belong to Sowore's school of governance, which is basically to criticize everything by all means and at all times even if your alternatives can only be described as ridiculous. For instance, Omoyele would pay N1m as minimun wage  I don't get you! The main reason why the naira was weakening is budget deficit! And the most reasonable thing to do is to cut expenditure drastically. But instead, they decided to focus on increasing revenue, which is looted again. After devaluing the naira and ''liberalizing the FX market'' (as you said) to rake in more revenue, tell me if they are still borrowing heavily or not? The debt would still rise, and there is NOTHING to show for it. If you care to know, Sowore, myself and Tinubu himself; we all ''belonged'' to the same ''school of governance''! Have you forgotten that your Tinubu criticized everything govts did in the past, including some policies similar to what you are praising him for now? That is the hypocrisy I cannot stand! You seem to have forgotten that your current president opened his mouth and called a sitting president a ''drunken fisherman'' just because he disagreed with some economic policies of the govt.? Nigerians! The heightened poverty, insecurity, inflation, hardship and hunger in the land are the mishaps! I am neither APC nor PDP nor ADC. But, Teacher (Tinubu) don't teach me nonsense! |

GeeKudi:
Mike has a personal grudge against these people. Apparently he scouts this thread very religiously for any opportunity to aggresively express his resentment. Bro, na till 2031 like this oo. How e go be nah . Just joking. But, you should take it easy. Abi, you be Sowore's disciple ni? My Gee, I don't have anything personal. Anyone of them can be president, but I will only assess the performance of who wins and rules. I just don't like people who glorify, promote mediocrity and failure to me as if I don't have brain to think and assess things. Nobody is perfect. A govt can make mistakes and apologize or acknowledge the errors and promise to rectify them. But to rub it in and glorify your failures and call them ''outstanding success'' in my face is what makes me feel like my intelligence as a citizen is being taken for granted. It is like a student scoring F9 and telling his ''ignorant'' father that the ''9'' should be celebrated because it is the highest number amongst the scores e.g. A1,B2,C4 etc. OBJ, Jonathan, Buhari etc were criticized by Nigerians, including Tinubu himself, for less economic mishaps. So why must we now accept and glorify similar and even worse conditions under Tinubu? Such hypocrisy is unacceptable to me. He may do better if he wins the second term, and I will praise him if he does. |
