Too many problem for buhari to handle the president might resign if it continue like this

MirabelArode:
Just as they don't know whether to call the people who rejoiced over the 5% comments zombies.

The Divisive gworo-chewing burukutu-sipping Presidiot of the Zombies is only reaping what he sowed. He was high on burukutu when he made the 5% comment, he will be sober with time.

Pedrop:
U are not ashamed of urself saying u don't know what a government u are under is doing. As a zombie, u couldn't even tell lies and give just a single policy to cover up for the clueless government u support.


U are a citizen and u can't point to a thing, that this is what ur government is doing to arrest our seriious situation. Keep believing they are doing sthing in ur zombie head.



Please when has this APC government never told lies ? Tell me what month it is they never said a lie and i will tell u 2 lies they told that month.



Next time, don't just say u don't know wat a govt u support is doing, u can tag omenka, gbawe, passingshot(dropshot) along to help u with lies. ( My advise to ur personality though)

I was once like u, hoping they were doing something about it till lai Mohammed showed us exactly what they were doing about the unemployment situation. Suggesting dressing masquerade while their relatives are working in CBN.

How one masquerade can create jobs for 1000 people
www.nairaland.com/3083962/lai-mohammed-masquerade-create-jobs
When I opened the above thread where Alh Lai Mohammed made a statement that one masquerade can create jobs for 1000 people, I was surprise by the comments that came from people about the statement. The comments showed how poor the intelligence of the Nigerian youth is as they made a jest of his statement, some out of ignorance while others were mostly out of hate for the man cos he belongs to a party that kicked their own party out of power thereby blocking all corrupt avenues they were reaping from e.g ghostworker salary.
A very intelligent mind would have scrutinized the statement very well and would have realised the lack of need to criticize but attest to the idea. But these people suffering from post-election trauma lack the capacity to reason in such a sophisticated manner, hence their open show of the illiteracy bestowed on them by 16yrs of rot.
Now, to the statement "one masquerade can employ 1000 people". How is this achievable? Shallow minds would expect that the single masquerade will open a company and send out job adverts for unemployed youths like them to apply. Such is hardly the case.
A festival for masquerades is quite an opportunity for businesses to thrive, but our problem is that we have been very myopic by doing things the same way and expecting different results. Let's say such festival spans for 2weeks; below are the opportunities it can open if we truly value such culture as much as to transform its festival by investing heavily in it.
First, each masquerade can be endorsed or branded by a corporate company thereby having the masquerade's attire designed to show the logo of the company e.g GUINNESS. That will fetch the masquerade some big box in tune of millions. The ordinary masquerade of yesterday with just 2 drummers can now employ a trumpeter, a keyboardist, a flutist and any modern musical instrument player(remember, we are doing it in a different way this time around).
Once Nigeria Breweries see that Guinness is keying into the idea, they too might decided to sponsor a group of masquerades who are also going to have their own band. With top bottling companies present at an event that could witness up to a hundred thousand viewers, be sure to have drinks flowing. That's where female ushers come in. Campus girls can take that role which gives them a job experience to write in their CV.
MTN or Airtel might jostle to be the event's official network. This might make them to consult an outsourcing firm to help recruit new hands for a contract job to cover the event. The attire the workers of these companies will wear to the event will be sewn by some individuals who will have some change to pocket.
With these companies swinging in, the media will beam their light on the event thereby popularising it to the extent of attracting the interest of foreigners who will invest in it.
What if it is done in such a way that the masquerade event is used by mobile phone companies like Slots and 3Chub to showcase their products for sale? The large turnout won't be wasted. Stands will be sold to them as they employ in-store promoters to enlighten customers about the phones. I hope you are putting the pieces together and finally getting the picture.
Now, count the amount of festivals we have in Nigeria, those for masquerades and those for others and imagine them branded or sponsored. It will really be great. Mind you, the famous English premier league EPL started of with some folks kicking a round object, now it has become Barclay's Premier League BPL with so many other sponsors. The same way adidas or a Nike endorses Wayne Rooney is the same way a company in Nigeria or from abroad can endorse chukwuemeka or gbenga who are really the ones behind the mask.
So, before you criticise next time, think deeply.
This post is for intelligent minds alone.

In other words auto pilot is the best solution abi?

bjdon:
Based on the highlighted part of your statement above, would your agree that Mr President, by his refusal to devalue the Niara, does not understand basic economics?

kYjelly2:
I'm not even here to argue, but I just want to ask you one simple question:

WHY ARE THEY THERE

As in, why are they in government if you feel its okay to just be listing all our problems everyday, without working on them. We might as well be on auto pilot, no

That's how Adesina blatantly said that those complaining about power should go fight pipeline vandals

So now you feel proud saying scarcity, scarcity, scarcity abi So what is the solution then Or did we elect this government to just simply state all our problems

mekaboy:
OK, you have stated the problem, now what is your solution? Sit back and watch with hope that things get better someday while people starve to death?

Was the APC voted into power to remind Nigerians of the problems and who is to blame or provide solutions?

They knew these problems existed before they came into power. What Nigerians want to know is how did u plan to tackle the problems if you won the elections.

All We see is a sidon they look attitude.

After kemis appointment as finance minister I asked if she was qualified for the post?

Nairalanders as usual turned it to a tribal war, saying it'd because she is Yoruba and not igbo.

We have seen investors flee Nigeria, Inflation rise to 13%, job losses etc.

All this linked to lack of economic direction .

Today she was in an interview and claimed ignorant of a lot of vital figures . This seemed like the channels TV interviewers were more informed than she was on our economy.

My fear and question now is, If you don't have information on the figures of the past and the current excess crude account figures, Then what figures are they planning for the future with?

So there is not future projection ? What figures is this govt planning with?

It seems like this administration is counting on luck. Please someone should tell them that economics works with principles and not luck.

Blamed the previous administration for not saving and also saying they are not saving.



Saying money will be pumped into the economy is not a solution. pumping money into the economy is never a solution as it will end up in the toilet.

The money that will be pumped into the economy is our money and will be spent and disappear.

As long as you don't have foreign investment coming in, we will just consume our money on ourselves or like spending capital feeling ur making progress without making any profit .

Really !

Subsidy as at May 2015 was 160 billion, how come Buhari paid 500 billion alongside 750 billion bai out that was embezzled by Imo, Benue & Osun states.

The question which your govt has not answered is for how long do you continue to bail out despite the fact that the states are unable to pay your said 'loans' & asking for more.
Buhari is just spending & spending, borrows & keeps borrowing more to continue spend without creating wealth creation avenues.

luvinhubby:
Buhari spent 1st day in office spending $3.5 billion of NLNG savings as compensation to APC governors in the name of bail outs to state governors who ended up squandering same. He also spent an additional N500 billion through supplementary appropriation. And this he spent from previous harvest with fresh planting.

Obailala read this and stop running up and down this thread like a headless chicken.

yaki84:
She said: “There is also plan to complete the Kaduna-Abuja-Ajaokuta railway lines in 2016. We
are also revising the National Rail Masterplan which is commencing construction of the Lagos-
Kano standard Gauge Rail line and also to finalise the negotiation regarding the Calabar-Lagos
rail line. Of course the objective of this is to increase availability of mass transit, to reduce
pressure on road infrastructure. did u read this part!
why negotiation regarding calabar-lagos rail line? thought everything was concluded before it was sent to the senate for approval?
this is d same project that people abused, accused, tagged pdp senators evil, playing politics of hatred n dat same project is now being negotiated.

luvinhubby:
Can you call a farmer who eats up the fruits of previous planting season without planting fresh ones to harvest be termed responsible?

Min of Finance, Kemi Adesoun Channels TV, blowing queens English

* Many prominent actors in in previous govt as state governors who vehemently opposed efforts by FG to save excess crude, and insisted the money should be shared are now ministers in current govt and are pointing fingers accusing previous govt of not saving.
Ans: I don't want to hold brief for anybody. But even if the states did not save, the FG should have saved its own portion

* Are we now saving excess funds? Ans: No we are not savings because you cannot save when you are borrowing. We are borrowing and struggling to pay salaries

* How much money has been recovered so far? Ans: I don't have that figure

* What is the current amount in excess crude account? Ans: I don't have that figure. You (Maupe) quoted it sometime ago. I think it is $2.1b or $2.2b, I am not sure of the amount.

* We have some people complaining of TSA, eg ASUU: We are working with universities and CBN to see if we can grant exemption to them

* They put a blame on govt on leakages. Is it something your ministry can fight? Ans: Absolutely. Last year, we spend N19b on roads and N64b on travels. We are trying to limit travels and the flight class of various govt officials.

* How are limiting leakages in govt? Ans: We are trying to introduce debit cards for routine govt expenditures.
* Has this debit card kicked off? Ans: No we are trying to get proposals from 3 banks, then we shall go through learning process

* How are you aligned with CBN on fiscal and monetary policies. CBN should be doing monetary, and your ministry should be looking at fiscal. Ans: We are trying to align.

Are you in IMF programme? Ans: No we are not IMF programme.

* Do we have an economic Team? Ans: We have an economic team

* It will shock you that Nigerians do not know those who are members of the economic team. Ans: (Becomes upset) Don't you know the ministers? Don't you know me. VP Osibanjo, Min of State & budget, Min of Info, Head of DMO, etc are members

* What is the Economic blueprint? Ans: We are going to invest in infrastructure. We are going to diversify the economy. If we can feed ourselves, it will energise the economy.

'fine face no BRAIN' minister

Buhari was a mistake

Raymondenyi:
Please I really want to know, why Nigerians and and blacks in general behave like animals, unless they are beaten and whipped by people they perceive are bigger than them (e. g security agents) they just tend not to be have well,
I was stuck in traffic today, for almost 2 hours , as a result of reckless drivers taking our lane, as a result blocked it and stalled the traffic under a heavy downpour, some well meaning individuals, came out of their cars, soaked trying to control the vehicles, but they didn't bulge , despite the fact they were on our lane and had stalled us from moving... not long after, some security agents came and started flogging all the reckless drivers, breaking their side mirrors , and slapping them, within 5 minutes, the whole road was clear, and we were able to scale true... This is not my first encounter, it has always been been a recurring incident I see...

I felt sad, my compatriots were treated like that by security agents, but on a second thought, perhaps this people understands that they are animals and needs pummeling to act right...

My question, why do blacks and Nigerians behave like animals that needs to be flogged and pummelled before they act Right?

Are Nigerians Animals?

luvinhubby:
