God is watching!!!

you loot all the money from country with bad economy,change it to a currency that is so scarce and making life hard for citizens of the country, then you fly it all to a ready made country to better improve their economy


in other words, you are fetching from your almost dried up well and pouring in the ocean..

don't worry,there is VIP TABLE FOR TWO for all of una in hell.

all his investments are in Nigeria. Whichu one your heroes get home or abroad

datola:
YES!

TSA- some commentators would say it was it was an idea of a lilly-levered past president. Everybody has ideas including the most stupid person on earth.

Prosecution of highly placed individuals- Saraki, Metu, Dokpesi, etc. The popular arguments among the wrong thinking people are: none of the cases has been successfully prosecuted. It is a process. Let's wait and see. The fight is targeted at opposition, what about APC members. That's a fallacy of 'what about you'. It is illogical. Outgoing American Ambassador counselled on same.

A lot of loopholes have been blocked by the finance minister. Ghost workers issue being eradicated. These were alluded to by the Economist few days ago.

The president stood his ground during the budget padding thing. Right thinking Nigerians now appreciate him more going by the revelations from National Assembly.

People are very careful and afraid to steal in this dispensation. Imagine a banker just took his life because he feared public disgrace. That's a bad decision on his part though.

Very very soon by God's grace a full bag of rice, basket of tomatoes made in Nigeria will be sold for a shekel. Only those who believe and support good change will eat out of it.

Continue Baba!

what he said
Although we will not know till next dispensation whether opposition party will probe apc

OP

Buhari doesn't have the power to restructure Nigeria. If you want to restructure Nigeria, call your National Assembly members.

why can't ppl get this simple concept through their thick skulls

Longman6:
While the introduction of TSA is a good move to reduce corruption,it has created a problem in the banking sector as,accounts have been closed,money available for banks to transact business has also reduced,interest that would have been generated is been lost as the TSA is just a dommant"account.Again can anyone help us tell buhari that the focus on Agriculture is just too myopic,the world has moved beyond that stage,industrialization,and a service based economy is the key,The operating profit of google and Amazon in 2015 would fund Nigeria's budget conveniently..The government should also focus on Education and research,the world is now knowledge driven.

Agric is a very small but very vital link in the chain and also a quick win while developing manufacturing.
Does Amazon ship breeze or tangible products produced somewhere.

dunkem21:
TSA killed banks..

were they ever alive. Dumbass cash houses

mecussey:
The only solution is to generate 170 million mega watts of electricity and everything will take shape. That is, 1 mega watts of electricity will be dedicated to each home and thats it.

the USA generates 1 million. Don't talk like this in public

ITbomb:
Do you know that the person who made that bolden statement had already provided fairly stable electric power and working transport system for the citizens?

I am into SME setup and financing, 80% of startups fail because of electric power expenditures. The US may not have had as much resources but they had a good supporting environment for the citizens to act.



No it's starting business that requires power in a country with no power
Bad leadership entrepreneurship




Nigerians are not lazy,



Most are
Difference between hardworking and desperate



we are the most enterprising people in the whole of Africa, if we can achieve what we have now with such disappointing power situation. Imagine what we would achieve if the government could just shut the Bleep up and get the system running efficiently

if we were really hardworking we'd find a way to bypass govt

olami100:
one of the reason why I love debate among presidential candidate.. check out America, there presidential candidate are subjected to rigorous debate where each candidate will propose and criticise each other policy on economy, security and many others..
back here in Nigeria nothing of such only to propose fake promises. promises that cant be fulfilled.. honestly Here in nigeria we don't have leaders .. what we have are power mongers who play politics of hate, tribalism, religion and are good at imposing sufferness on their countrymen!
my advice to this present government is to look for ways to tackle these present challenges by strengthening the naira, bringing foreign investors to invest in nigeria., investing in agriculture, reduction in tax, provide massive employment and ensure security.. these things are not difficult to do my fellow countrymen. our present government lack good economic policy .

do you even know this govt economic policy? How can anything get done when ppl believe they can steal and nothing will happen

Reference:
Public works to build the infrastructure that reduces the cost of living/business. That is the only way to turn an economy around.....and I'm not talking about Chinese rails or Julius Berger bridges, all leading to net capital flight. I am talking about mass manpower, 100% local content, low tech projects.

Identify an area of competitive advantage such as agriculture and build every sort of infrastructure to support it, rural roads, irrigation canals, storage and processing facilities, etc.

such as

sholatech:
1. We should have bank access to public funds again. We should suspend TSA this recession period. Banks need more liquidity to provide loans to real sector.

Banks have had funds for 50 years
No result
Jus sponsored imports



2. Govt needs to inject loads of money to targeted infrastructure. Power and Transport are critical. It's well tested that we need to spend our way out of recession.


We de look fashola hand


3. Rice, Tomato, Wheat import substitution by ensuring full local production.
[b]

Awa ppl no wan farm

[/b]4. Good Naira is now floating. Pmb should forget the stupid currency peg with no sufficient reserves to back them up.
[b]
Agreed


[/b]5. Then raise salaries. Purchasing power Must go up to recess recession

story

omogin:
Those who muted the TSA here, knew it isn't for a depressing or depressed economy. That's why dey stayed action. The certificateless one however jumps into the fray, trying to play to the gallery, deprives the commercial circle the much needed funds to keep afloat. The USA spent their way out of the last recession, didn't they? Propaganda won't do what spending should do

when they had the funds for 50 years what did they do with it? Financed 30 90 day imports.
Abegi mowu hia word

Abugab:
Simple ways to go:
1. Produce more locally
2. Consume less foreign products and services
3. Govt should massively subsidize local production and manufacturing
4. Offer a single sigut loan to entrepreneurs on small and medium businesses
5. Nigerians must develop the will power to succeed and abhor ostentatious lifestyle which has been our problem too.
We either diversify and encourage home produced products or we simply continue in the vicious circle.

grammar

What does enugu export
Stop fooling yourself

onyenro:
When you voted a man who has been docile for 30 years collecting his pension to become president... What should you expect?
In 30 years, he wrote no single book, no memoirs, headed no company.. Did absolutely nothing and then you handed an economy worth 100 trillion to him and you expect growth?

First step is he should step aside, then the next person would have to restructure the polity... Anambara is an example of a state that us doing absolutely well despite the others crying wolf over monthly allocation.

For those shouting export.... How do you expect Enugu state to export only to be shared with a lazy kogi?
Restructure the polity and economy will move out of recession in two weeks

Shortyy:
yea, it starts from YOU. but will they give YOU the opportunity to bring up ideas? instead of employing people with ideas that can move the country forward, they'd rather employ their friends and family members.

yes
It's called writing proposal
The ppl with ideas refused to participate
Stop making excuses

eyeview:
Nobody should ask me how we should save the economy cos some people claimed that they knew how if we vote them in.
The people that put it in this mess should first of all be removed.

they do
Everyone does
It whether the will do it that remains
But we're sure pdp never will

folks4luv:
I understand we need to contribute our individual quota but the fact still remain that the largest buck is on the table of the federal govt, as far as u are not as big or huge as dangote and co, the government will determine how far whatever business u are setting up will go, economy policies will determine ur pace and success rate. people should turn to agriculture right? good, let's talk about things that are needed to have a flourishing farm nd how the government controls and affects them.
tuta absoluta is wrecking havoc on tomatoes, price of fertilizers have gone up if not doubled. we may decide to put it in individuals, the truth sill remain, we need a smart government with sound economy policy.

nothing concine gwament with private biz

edlion57:
I'm not in support of kicking out the President but arresting him for stopping the progress good luck started..
This man is tooooo old for the system now...apc or pdp can't save us now... Let vote any good young candidate that is willing to come for debate during campaign..
Not by carrying brooms and umbrella ...like witches

what did the fisherman start
Cassava bread we no see
Rice we no smell
You're too funny

dhardline:
The major problem we still have is that we import so much more than we export. So it boils down to the government to encourage those who import this goods to try and manufacture them locally.Give them affordable land,0 interest loans,low tax rates etc just to help them build and stand firm,this way they will gladly prefer to produce locally as this in turn will creat more jobs but instead what do we get from the government! High and multiple taxes, ban ban ban, oppresion on all fronts. Infact we have a long way to go in this country.

The only business being encouraged now by this government is cattle rearing and we all cant be cattle herders.

when ppl are looting left right and centre and you eediots defending the looting how can they release money

ofemigeorge:
1.Entrepreneurs and skill gathering.
2.Practicalizing all we know.
3.Inferiority complex should be aborted. (Made in Nigeria)
4.For every end of every prayer,say GOD BLESS NIGERIA AND ALL THE PEOPLE WITHIN.
5.Encourage your struggling,hardworking brother(neighbor) and stop hating. So the good ones will not go into hidding.
6.Diversification ...stop coping and pasteing. Seek and work on something different.
7.The government should focus on the youth and listen to what they have to say. Finance their ideas. A nation without youthful ideas is dead for the future.
NEVER SAY NEVER anything is possible with unity.

you're on your own
If you like be waitin for encouragement

nefertitiram:
If all of us can stop asking what the govt can do for us and do for ourselves.

D govt has failed us, yes, so won't we survive?

The economy is a theory. All of us should find ways to become self sufficient and attract income in foreign currency. Then our collective wealth will become the sovereign wealth.

The united states economy was built up by mom and pop businesses that have become empires. They don't have as much resources as we have so they looked inwards.

So it's time to shut up, stop complaining and act

our brain finally Don de reset

Bonapart:
You guys are now truly challenged by Osubande ordinary commissioner. During the time of Gej nobody came up with such because things where going smoothly that we even claim top spot in the economy. Enjoy your changes people. Next time Nigeria will never make such mistake.

there should be exam before ppl like this are allowed to vote

EscapadeNg:
Nigerians are very creative, I trust we get through this hard times with ease. Agriculture is the only way out but I ask myself can plant cocoa today and harvest tomorrow, if not what will happen to a larger percentage of Nigerians who are living in abject poverty. Our government is sleeping... But I trust the NEEDS strategy if implemented will revive Nigeria Economy. I will share a summary of the strategy policy later today and as individuals, we can begin to implement some. I hope 1 Naira will truly equal to 1 dollar.

best time to plant a tree is 4 years ago
Next best time is today
Td poor can do it or keep complaining 4 years later
1 naira to 1 dollar is not the issue
It's what the 1 dollar can do that matters

Seened:
The Nigerian economy is heavily dependent on crude oil sales. Price goes up the Nigerian state smiles to the bank. It crashes they panic. God knows the word 'diversification' has become a cliche in Nigerian economic discourse but it still remains the way to go.

An economy like Nigeria's mostly consumes mass goods that are imported. This needs to be gradually reversed. Nigeria needs to locally produce most of what she consumes.

EscapadeNg honestly I am more concerned about how the average middle class or poor Nigerian is adapting to this hard time. The elites albeit affected too can still meet their basic needs. What of the less fortunate?

our economy depends heavily on Agric. Get your facts right. It's govt that depends on oyel
People need to start using the cheap education they claimed to pay through their nose for.

Less fortunate should use their brains

it must start from you

It's visible to the blind that SA did it better. The venue and the guards shows that the guy had something to do with their National Football. Present day Nigeria is a big SCAM. God help NAIJA.

what scam. Was he a mumu. All sportsmen and women in Nigeria throw their teammates and embarrass the country throwing her under the bus wit Mafia ,indiscipline and other nonsense to get Contract and you think they will not reap what they sowed. Abegi mowu hia word

texazzpete:
How come his age is suspiciously left out of the OP?



This is childish talk. 'Youth' alone should NOT be a qualification for any post. Also, many youths in Nigeria have more than proven themselves to be as terrible (or even worse!) than the old ones they are replacing.

Just take a look at all the compromised, tribalist scumbags you have posting on Nairaland and tell me if you think those are the type of folks you want charting the future of this nation.

he's just pointing out the lying from day one

harmbhrosz:
are you even human ? Or should I ask how old are you?

I'm definitely older than you if this is all you can come up with after all the education you're supposed to have gotten


I don't think this is coming from an adult that is intellectually sound



See above



I'm repeating it pls, how old are you? Wow I'm fuvking amazed at what you just wrote

Obviously
It is to be expected from a mindless drone that cannot thimk for itself



As a citizen I don't have RIGHTS, I only have privileges?? W.T.F?


What are rights
I'm sure you cannot define them



You're even bringing God into this?

No slowpoke
I brought the Bible
You pass English waec so?
abi... O OK you're a neco baby. Now I understand




God even understood the basics amenities of mankind, that's why he provided the sun, the rain, light and darkness, night and day, soil and water, and so on.


And what can you do if he decides to take them doofus




That's why they're privileges you doofus



Now what has the Governments provide for it people?

Exactly what the people asked for

Rice, lies, deceit (personally. I don't think they deceived anybody. You're all grown asss individuals)



Is it road, electricity, water, jobs, security?
This are the things we've struggled to provide for our selves.


Na una wan form hero na
It's not their fault you refuse to demand for your ''rights ''
All they see are fools and magas and one chancees



You're asking the farmers to protect themselves?


No be dem wan protect diaselves
Stop eagles from playing ball and see how ppl will flood the streets but when it's a serious thing everyone will say at home waiting for auto pilot to kick in


And we pay taxes to the governments which is being used to pay all forms of forces, police the armies and so on and we still need to go ahead and protect ourselves.

Which tax do farmers pay?
Think before you talk.
How many of una de pay tax
You think it's a majority that pays VAT. How many value have you added as an individual.



You're talking about insurance You think every farmer in Nigeria can go for insurance?

Yes they can
They say 'if you think education is expensive, try ignorance'
I'm the same vein ' if you think insurance is expensive, try going commando ' especially in a risky biz like Agric.



Even the old men and women in the villages that got their produce destroyed and even got killed?

See why you need insurance. Yet you all stubbornly ''leave it to GOD '' when you know that statistics don't lie



And how many insurance do you even have on yourself?

health insurance de kampe
And life insurance as soon as I get a beneficiary
Not my fault you're poorly educated




I'm sure you're the type that hides under his mummy's bed and keep typing poo there, coz you sound like you've never faced the reality of every Nigerian struggle b4.

Been there
Done that
And I'm amazed at the ignorance out there
Even by so called educated doll like you
You're supposed to lead your people to the light instead you're the ring leaders of darkness and superstition. Ignorant dolts.


[/b]You're even contradicting yourself by saying WE can only get what we clamoured for e.g the Israelites? I thought your ideology was that we were not suppose to talk? [b]

Mtsch
Oyinbo need to come and teach you gyp how to speak the English language or we start using our vernacular.
Talk is cheap, walk your talk
Fight for your right dummy not talk for your rights (privileges), not complain Abbott your problems, not lament, not epistle, get off your lazy ass and FIGHT for your gaddem privileges


And by the way, I'm a graduate and I paid my way out of all the institution I went to with the help of my parents.


Good

[/b]I'm a farmer who eats his 3square meal comfortablely and doesn't lack the personal basic amenities of life that's bcoz I make them available for myself. And by God's grace I will only go higher.


[b]
Excellent




I'm voicing out because the leaders failed their promises...




And I guarantee you your voice doesn't mean sheet
Do something not say something


You even said they're fighting for their families so we should fight for ours, which means if you get to where they are, you will only fight for yourself and family alone gosh your reasoning disgust me. How old are you again??




Of course
Wetin concine me with fools that refuse to stand and fight for what they claim to believe in
Eediots that will run away when the going gets tough.
bleeping cowards all of you lot.
You deserve the leaders you get.
Until you learn to stand up for yourselves you will never get any good leaders



You and about 2 other people of your kind are the only odd ones on this thread

dunno who they are but I like em already
They are willing to face the truth while you ignorami choose to bury your head in the sand.

Why will I be talking about empowerment and baggars will be talking about rice and sharing of loot
Talking about changing things idiotr will be talking about 'so long as I can feed my family in OK ' or stoopidly saying 'there is no hope, so God should help only then to survive.
Tunda faya una
To hell with all una coward una.
Don't worry when you suffer properly, your brains will go back to factory setting
