This is a cheering news from Bloomberg. It is a clear sign
that people who know what to do about economy are doing
their jobs. This is not
from Nigeria. It is from a foreign evaluator. And it comes
from experts. So who
will challenge the fact that the Government is not working
despite dwindling oil
market. This should be attributed to a good and adequate
monetary policy of the
government. And this is why Economists like Soludo and
Pat Utomi(The Professors)
should appreciate the efforts of the managers of our
economy. Instead of criticizing,
I think they should come up and offer their intellectual
contributions. Nigeria
belongs to all of us. It is not until you are appointed before
you can make
useful contributions. In my view, I see this public criticism
as a sign of jealousy
and it amounts to unpatriotic cannibalism. Their good
suggestions should not be
on the pages of paper or Television Channels if they really
wish to contribute to the
development of the Nation. Congratulations to the Cord.
Minister of Economy
& Minister of Finance. It is not everybody that will
appreciate your good
work. But true and patriotic Nigerians know that you are
working. May God
continue to bless you.....
Opinion from a good Nigerian..

Quoted..
Major financial rating agencies consistently rate Nigerias
economy high, but because we are an instant gratification
society , we do not appreciate the massive economic
strides of this administration. These agencies which have
integrity can't all be wrong. Nigeria is moving in the right
economic and developmental direction and in a few years,
the impact will become apparent to even the most
skeptical. Reforms tend to frighten and frustrate instant
gratification
Politics / Eureka! Nigeria Listed Among 20 Fastest Growing Economies by Obaiyski(m): 11:53am On Feb 27, 2015
A new survey released by Bloomberg has projected that
Nigeria, China, the Philippines, Kenya, India and Indonesia
will rank among the 20 fastest growing economies in world
this year.
In an accompanying chart by the New York-based financial
newswire service, Nigeria with an expected growth rate of
4.9 per cent was ranked sixth behind China (7 per cent), the
Philippines (6.3 per cent), Kenya (6 per cent), India (5.5 per
cent) and Indonesia (5.4 per cent).
Other countries that made the list of 20, dominated by
emerging economies in Asia and Africa, include: Malaysia in
seventh place, Peru, Thailand, United Arab Emirates (UAE),
Kazakhstan, Colombia and Saudi Arabia.
Others are Taiwan, Turkey, South Korea, Poland, Mexico,
Ireland and Singapore.
According to Bloomberg, “Emerging markets in Asia and
Africa still reign supreme: They’re at the top of global
growth projections over the next two years.
“The world is expected to grow 3.2 per cent in 2015 and 3.7
per cent next year after expanding 3.3 per cent in each of
the past two years," according to a Bloomberg survey of
economists.
“China, the Philippines, Kenya, India and Indonesia, which
together make up about 16 per cent of global gross
domestic product, are all forecast to grow more than 5 per
cent in 2015.”
By comparison, the United States (US) and United Kingdom
(UK), which combined account for about a quarter of global
growth, are expected to grow 3.1 and 2.6 per cent this year
respectively, said Bloomberg.
“The euro area probably will expand just 1.2 per cent as
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi deals with a
fragile Greece and embarks on a bond-purchase
programme to stimulate the region's growth.
“China still remains the fastest-growing G-20 nation, even
though the Asian economy is no longer expanding at the
pace it did a few years ago.
“China's economy grew 7.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of
2014 from a year earlier, and is expected to slow to 7 per
cent in 2015.
“To counter that slowdown, People's Bank of China policy
makers are boosting monetary stimulus. The central bank
cut its benchmark interest rate in November for the first
time since 2012. This month officials lowered by 50 basis
points the deposit reserve ratio, which is the amount of
reserves that banks need to keep on hand,” the survey said.
Continuing, it added that Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy,
is projected to expand at 4.9 per cent this year, while Kenya
will probably grow by 6 per cent in 2015, even as
unemployment and poverty remain stubbornly high, with
over 40 per cent of Kenyans living below the poverty line.
“US growth forecasts for 2015 are coalescing around 3 per
cent even as the dollar soars to its highest level in more
than a decade.
“As growth picks up, the Federal Reserve is weighing
whether to raise interest rates for the first time since 2006.
Their benchmark federal funds rate has remained near zero
since December 2008.”

Politics / Canadian Troops Withdraw After Boko Haram Attacks by Obaiyski(m): 7:48am On Feb 27, 2015
Canadian special forces participating in military training in southeast Niger, near the border with Nigeria, were ordered to withdraw recently to avoid battling with Boko Haram Islamists, the military said Thursday.

The troops had been posted to the town of Diffa, where the government of Niger declared a state of emergency on February 11 following attacks in the region that borders Boko Haram’s stronghold in northeast Nigeria.

The Canadians are participating in US-sponsored counterterrorism training that started on February 16 and is due to wrap up on March 9.

The annual program has 1,300 troops from 19 countries training militaries in five African countries in shooting, movement, communications, and mission planning.

Dominique Tessier from Canada’s defense department did not say how many Canadians were at risk of confrontation with Boko Haram, but noted in an email to AFP that “several members” were relocated from Diffa to other areas such as Agadez and Niamey in Niger and N’Djamena in Chad “due to security issues.”

“This was seen as a prudent measure given the current security situation in the region,” Tessier said, adding the exercise continues.

“Recent events in Niger involving Boko Haram do highlight training such as this to help collective efforts against violent extremist organizations.”

The Canadian special forces also stand ready to provide humanitarian or other assistance, should Ottawa decide to offer help, Tessier said.

Politics / Why Obasanjo Does Not Want 2nd Term For Jonathan – Ewegbara by Obaiyski(m): 7:28am On Feb 21, 2015
Odilim Enwegbara is a Development Economist and public analyst based in Abuja. In this interview, he, amongst other issues, says why he feels former president Olusegun Obasanjo does not want a second term for President Jonathan even as he calls Nigerians to support his quest for a second term.

Excerpts:

Many People have the impression that President Jonathan’s government has the worst record on economy, security amongst other issues. What is your opinion?

First, let’s know who are these people you’re referring to here? I think we should know who they are and why they are drawing such a conclusion because, I will assure you that those who are saying this should be members of the opposing parties — like APC, who have to turn facts upside down so that they can win the presidential election. As an economist and Nigeria’s economy watcher, I will tell you that Jonathan administration has so far outperformed his predecessors. In fact, Jonathan’s achievements in the last four years remain far higher than Obasanjo’s eight years in power which saw the worst infrastructure decadence in Nigeria’s history, including leaving us with less than 2000MW of electricity, road networks only better than those in the war-torn Somalia, and rotten state of our airports and railways.

From what you are saying you must be one of those calling for his reelection?

Let me say it here that I am not an active politician. But instead I am an economist and nationalist. I have been fighting for a just, peaceful, fair, and equitable Nigeria. It’s a call for us, for our children and their children for them to eventually be proud of Nigeria. I want to say this because there is a carefully constructed front wanting to humiliate Jonathan out of office. This wouldn’t even be imagined had
Jonathan come from one of the three major ethnic groups. Remember how in 1993 Abiola was denied the presidency of this country. What is happening to Jonathan today is like what happened to Abiola in 1993 because Jonathan, a south-southerner is being opposed because he’s not a westerner, or northerner. There is no way the current effort to humiliate him out of office would succeed.

What will you make of the refusal by APC presidential candidate Gen Buhari to participate in the presidential debates?

It is ironical that Gen. Buhari doesn’t want to debate with President Jonathan. By so doing, he is denying Nigerians the right to decide between him and Jonathan who has what it takes to run the affairs of the country. Had the two debated, one of the questions should have been if the two would be ready to subject themselves to independent team of doctors to ascertain their physical and mental state of health given the tasking nature of the office of the president of Nigeria. Also Buhari would have been asked to explain to Nigerians why should someone who overthrew a democratically elected government now want to be democratically elected? Shouldn’t that be sending the wrong signals to today’s senior military officers who, seeing how Buhari has been rewarded, could be contemplating overthrowing government with the hope that years later Nigerians could be rewarding them too by electing them?

Obasanjo and Jonathan had been like father and son. What, in your opinion led to their present irreconcilable disagreements to the extent that Obasanjo recently denounced the president accusing him of having squandered the country’s foreign reserves, without anything to show for it? On Monday, he tore his PDP membership card and ditched the party.

Besides geopolitical interests I just enumerated above, Obasanjo hates rivalry. Particularly, he hates to be alive and see any of his close successors also become two-term presidents of Nigeria like him. OBJ’s fears are fully understandable especially given his determination to be seen and called “Father of Modern Nigeria.” That’s why the fear that should Jonathan too become a two-term president
of Nigeria, Jonathan’s legacies could overshadow his and most important rubish his political godfather status in PDP. That is why OBJ never wanted GEJ to become a two-term president of Nigeria. If you look at all the attacks both locally and internationally, you would discover that those asking for Jonathan’s head have one affiliation with Washington or another, including some of those who have accused the president of not doing enough to rescue the Chibok girls. They are not doing what they are doing because they love the Chibok girls but because this is part of strategy to humiliate Jonathan out of
office.

Are you saying that that is one of the reasons why the US secretary of state, Mr. Kerry recently visited and went as far as giving some marching orders to our president?

The US Secretary of state came here to insult us and our president when he said, “Let me make myself clear…” as if talking to president of a US colony. He has little or no respect for the Nigerian people and their president, not even as a sovereign nation. He shouldn’t come here to give us a marching order. I amsure there is no way Mr. Kerry could have thought of talking to South African President Jacob Zuma and the people of South Africa the way he talked to our president; not even Ghana’s. He talked down on us and got away with it because Obasanjo and his foot soldiers have cleared the way for Mr. Kerry. America should apologize to Nigerians for the insult we received from their chief diplomat.

What can you tell us about the falling oil prices?

No, the global oil plunge is not because of the so-called shale oil. The truth is that the US national security establishment working in collaboration with Saudi Arabia has been manipulating oil prices since the 1970s, thanks to the 1945 alliance between President Roosevelt and King Saud, which continues to guarantee US-Saudi powerful oil card to be used against those they want to punish. Therefore, the falling oil price is caused by their joint manipulation . While America is manipulating the oil price down to punish Russia for ‘’invading’’ Ukraine, Saudi Arabia is flooding the market with its cheap oil to also punish Russia for supporting the Assad regime in the Syrian civil war. This is a repeat of the 1986 use of oil card as a weapon to orchestrate the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the two successfully manipulated the oil prices by 300 per cent downwards, which led to the eventual collapse of the Soviet
Union which was 80 per cent dependent on oil export as its source of foreign exchange. Unfortunately, given how highly interconnected the global economy has become, the current collapse in oil prices is
affecting the entire global economy. Even the so-called major IOCs, from ExxonMobil to Shell and to Chevron, as a result of the collapse in oil prices, have opted to shut down production as well as rollback critical investments in oil exploration. It is to the extent that export-dependent economies like China, India, Japan, Germany, etc. are already feeling the impact of oil price collapse since big time importing OPEC nations are restricting importations.
