A lot of people dont know that Garba Shehu was actually Atikus Media Chief back in the day when Atiku was in APC. He then jumped to Buhari's side and the rest is history

That is true

Such a lame assessment. Did US also lack the technical know how wen they bombed Iranian passenger blame in 1988. US later compensated Iran after judgement passed in favour of Iran at the International court of Justice. My brother u need to read history, even Israeli army once bombed an Egyptian passenger plane for the same reason Iran shot down dis blame and similar incident was orchestrated by the soviet union when they shot down a South korean airliner. So what r u saying, it just human error and if you want to blame someone, blame the poor decision made by President Trump, that is dc reason we are here right now.

Provocation is often a mitigating factor in sentencing. It rarely serves as a legal defense, meaning it does not stop the defendant from being guilty of the crime. It may however, lead to a lesser punishment.

Who is UN to disarm Iran, u mean US. Well history is replaying itself, dnt forget in 1988, US also bombed an Iranian passenger plane killing all 288 persons on board, they said it was a mistake. So u see no one is excluded from human error! And mind you, US citizens may not have been on board the plane, but there were US allies Canada. U should blame ur almighty Trump not Iran, had he not made a poor decision and authorised the killing of that Iranian general, am sure by now we wouldn't be where we are right now.

Was it trump that shot down the plane that he shld be blamed?

This government could start saving money by making Nigeria more productive via

1.Completely removing fuel subsidy. On the negative side, the price of fuel would shoot up to N300 per liter, and there would be corresponding rise in food prices...which affects the poor. On the positive side....investors would come in, build more refinereis, and create more jobs. NNPC , which should be privatised, would become more compettiive, and would have enough of a profit to improve exisitng refienries, and build new ones. Increased productivity would bring prices of fuel down eventually...and Nigeria could become a major exporter of refined fuel in the future.

2.Allow DISCOS and GENCOS to control the price of power...instead of NERC. Yes, prices for electricity would go up, but we would also have an icnrease in investment in power..with more jobs being created as a result...and expansion of our power sector.

3.Give dollars at reduced rates to industrialists like Dangote and Innoson...who would in turn increase levels of production. Also incentvise small and medium scale industrialists via loans (especially in the automotive sector).

4.Stop programmes like N-power and Trader Moni..w.aste of time and money really

5.Start seriously fighting corruption. Seriously. Not partiality.

6.Raise taxes. Yes, cruel...but would also incentivse Nigerians to pay more attention to what their government is ACTUALLY doingcolor]

Agree with ur facts but for No 2, there are so many factors that would not make it to work except the Government is ready to go into court cases with different investors. Government would also need to sell it about 40% stake and allow a free market.

If only that 37b that would be used to renovate national assembly is used to develop skills like programming, A.i ,cybersecurity and Bpm amongst the youth. It would go along way to create jobs.

Our brainless Government can copy models from Singapore, south Korea and even California state in the u.s.
How long do we want to continue to depend on oil?

Finally, Ict like Iot and others would help to enhance Agriculture in nigeria.

External debt at $27b and domestic debt at $56b is crazy. With intention to still borrow $30b.

The problem is not collecting debt cos every country needs it to grow but our Challenge is Revenue. Most of these loans would still end up in peoples pockets.

My concern is not that Obj miss quoted the figure, but how do we intend to pay them.
