Pls do, I need to get back to flying.

Nice move from Star Boy and PMB. Anything to improve the investment environment is always welcome.

U definitely made some sense but the last thing I don't like doing is talking about Nigeria but I can't help it coz it's my country.

The only thing that will help us grow is accepting that we can not do this task and leaving it for people that can do it.

We had only one courageous president in the name of yaradua. At least for accepting that the election that brought him into office was rigged in his favour and promised to change this in the next election but DEATH took him.

I will also give accolades to MUTTALLA MOHAMMED, though, through what I read about him and GOODLUCK ( only for accepting defite ) he was very weak and not worthy to rule a country like Nigeria.

BUHARI stepping aside doesn't mean that PDP will take it automatically and even they do it doesn't mean that nothing good can come out of them.

Any body that will assume the office of presidency come 2023 will also be criticize if he doesn't perform well and that's why we elected them

I do agree with of your points. Have a nice day.

Okoroawusa:
He is an Atiku disciple. What were you expecting?

Ok, got it.

Atiku is brilliant with putting plans on paper but I seriously doubt that he can accomplish many of his loft goals once in office.
First, he can't even keep his employees now that the economy is not that bad yet, it's going to get a lot worse. If he's struggling now with all his brilliant ideas, how in hell is he going to run the govt smoothly?

azpekuliar:
Well somebody has to do it. If Buhari cannot then somebody else needs to step up and deliver because a barrel of oil will never sell for > $100 ever again!

I agree that oil will more than like never sell for 100 dollars again. Pls if you know anyone that can do it, pls tell us who that person is and let him tell us how he will do it in a short time like 4 years. All I know is that it's easier to make political promises than to fulfill them once you get into office. That's not only in Nigeria but all over the world.

Urchman200:
so don't be offended which way forward?because is obvious u guy's are not interested in solutions but blames ,how long do wish to continue this ur support for stipends?the economy is going down reality is steering us at the face ,blame is not the solution, read and articulate what that guy is saying, maybe he is a Buhari supporter like u ,but is time to tell each other the bitter truth.

Honestly speaking, the Nigerian economy is not about to go through any serious transformation until the populace themselves change their orientation and start thinking and inventing products and services that the world wants and needs. The quickest way to that right now is farming for the short time. In the long run, the educational system has to be refurbished. Too much emphasis on reading and passing exams instead of critical thinking and practical theories that can be applied to everyday lives. simply put - our people are not creative enough. They are getting better but still long way to go when compared to others around the world.
You can blame the govt for the lack of proper educational system but the govt is in a continuum hence what you have today is not because of Buhari or Jonathan but because of the people that occupy this geographical expression called Nigeria. Most of the people in govt today were not there 20 years ago and the ones that will be there in 10 years from now will be new ones but the story will still the same.
The society, economy and everything else will evolve when the people are ready to do so, until then we are only going to get marginal improvements.

Forex360:
If I am to go back & read your comment then I think you should go back and read BUHARI's MANIFESTOS on how he plan to diversify our economy which made a lot of people to cast their hope on him.

Don't misunderstand me coz am not a member of any political party but I will like to stand with the truth.
The formal FRENCE president ruled for only one term and Called it a quiet coz he understood that he lack the charisma to take the French people to the next level.

If everything start failing at your care and u are pointing accusing fingers to those have been there b4 u then you are not fit for the tax

Is just like saying that the reason you are POOR is bc ur father was POOR.

#God Bess #staysafe

First, if we are to hold all politicians to all their promises as exactly as they promised them, then no one will be able to rule. I remember Trump saying that on the first day in office he will have Trumpcare to replace Obama Care. Right now, he doesn't even talk about it.

Secondly, Buhari has made it the govt priority to diversify the economy by promoting agriculture and farming. Diversification of any economy takes years and probably more than one govt in power. It takes a continuing efforts, it does not happen over night.
All the feel good stories you hear about Malaysia, Indonesia, China, and other Asian countries took many many years of persistent and consistent effort at diversification and modernization of their economies.

I don't know which French President you are referring to but my memory tells me that the last 2 lost via elections including Zarkosky ad Hollande.
And when you suggest that Buhari should leave, then you have to ask yourself - leave for who?

Leave for the same people that ruled for 16 years that got us into this mess in the first place? I could understand if you are talking about leaving for people who had performed wonder in the past with good track records. But here we have the stealing is not corruption team waiting to get back in power to siphon what is left in govt covers.

FAKE ALLEGATION AND FAKE NEWS.

Angelfrost:
They were not able to do, or were not willing to do so??!... I believe the latter holds true!!!

If we can honestly agree on that, then Buhari ought to do better, and set the nation on a better path to progress... Many world leaders have achieved this, and are still achieving this!!!

We can't continue to excuse failures...

The simple answer is that they were not able to do it and were not willing to try.
There are many reasons why most didn't try to do it. Even though oil was selling for good money under Jonathan, the govt still wasn't making enough money to set the country on the right path. That coupled with stealing and incompetence made the situation worse.
Nigeria is NOT a RICH country when you take into consideration it's population vs the amount of money it makes.
The fact that we have corrupt populace/leaders only exacerbate the financial problem that we already have. When you GDP (443 Billion Dollars) is less than half of that of New York city @ 1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS (9 Million Population) and you have 200 million t o feed is when you know that you are not rich.

Forex360:
So BUHARI should fail us just bc his predecesor failed.

Oga reason b4 u yan

NO, go abck and read what I wrote.

Buhari couldn't do it simply because the govt was constraint especially in 2015/2016 when they were basically trying to keep the govt and the country afloat. The logic is very simple, if previous govts were unable to do it when oil was selling for 100 dollars PLUS, how do you expect a govt to do it with oil selling for 28 dollars? It flies on the face of logic, it's simply not possible. It's wishful thinking and nothing more.

sevenhundred:
what do you mean by previous government? if a driver can not drive very well, please ask him to park, there is no room for excuses!!!!

He's asking the govt to takes these measures in 2015 when the govt was barely able to stay afloat and meet its financial obligations. Salaries were not being paid, oil was around 28 dollars a barrel by end of 2016 to 2016.

If you give a broken down car to the best F1 race car driver, there's nothing he can do with it. You cannot give a F1 race car driver like Hamilton a Honda car and expect him to compete with other race car drivers driving Ferrari cars built for racing.

4Play:
We came into this crisis with the excess crude account (ECA) at $70m from $2bn just 2 years ago, forex reserves falling to $38bn in January this year from $45bn in June last year, and a tripling of foreign-currency denominated debt from $9.5bn in 2015 to circa $27bn today. These have left us more vulnerable than we should have been as we ran down our 'savings' (ECA & forex reserves) at the same time we were tripling our outgoings (debt repayments).


Because Nigeria is dependent on oil exports for forex, any government, no matter how competent, will struggle. But Buhari's government increases the likelihood of financial distress due to its economic illiteracy.

It should have taken the opportunity of the 2015/16 forex shortage to float the exchange rate and abolish the implicit subsidy in maintaining multiple exchange rates, and abolish fuel and electricity subsidies. These would have preserved cash and ensure the scarce money available to the government is used in beefing up infrastructure, healthcare and education.

I understand the urge to borrow from abroad as it tends to carry lower interest but we shouldn't do this unless we have built up enough fiscal buffers in the form of savings and lower budget deficits.

Any person who follows the history of oil prices will realise that it is a volatile commodity prone to sudden crashes. Government spending and borrowing should always be managed with this in mind until we wean ourselves from dependence on oil.

[/s]


Rubbish voodoo economic theory.

You are asking Buhari to do something that previous govts were not able to do even when oil was selling for more than 100 dollars per barrel.

ok

All currencies are taking hits right now except for the greenback (Dollar) simply because it's the currency of last resort where people all over the world are packing their money for now. Considering the oil prices and Coronavirus pandemic, the Naira is not doing too bad for now.

What? The church sacking people? They are heartless.

At least this is what a typical Naija person will say if this happens to be the govt or a private company.

MuchAdo:
It's either you are a kid or you have short term memory.

George W Bush successfully rigged his way into a second term.

I'm more than convinced that you are a kid with no memory or was born after 1992.

In 1992 US general election, the contest was between G Bush (W Bush's Father), Bill Clinton and Ross Perot, a Texas oil Billionaire.
I voted in that election and I remember it like yesterday - Clinton won.
Before there was W Bush, G Bush was the President from 1988 to 1992. Before then he was the Vice President to Ronald Reagan for 8 years
When I try to educate all these young folks on Nairaland, take it that it's coming from experience and knowledge. Just ask, instead of tring to argue topics in which you have no clue.

Your demi god Tramp, is also going to lose just like G H BUSH in 1992.

Ezennwa:
hmm!

FG should relocate some of their headquarters to South East for God's sake, are we not one Nigeria again?


It's Unfair.

So this order was given in 2012. How come Jonathan didn't order any to the SE while he was in office and had so many Igbos in top offices?

I guess they only cared about stealing is not corruption back then.

[[s]quote author=MuchAdo post=89594972]

Sssh!!! You rant a lot.

If Donald Trump could not lose when he was outside the White House, he will NEVER lose when he's inside it.

You can take that to the bank...[/quote][/s]

Even with rigging machines, Jonathan lost an election. In the US where it is harder to rig, any Presidents can lose election. G Bush lost to Clinton in recent memory.
Obviously, you are very naive and can't reason at all.
Your dull thinking is very typical. Shhhhh, go back to bed.

The US is charging her citizens 2400 dollars just for a one way flight to DC, while Nigeria charged Nigerians only 425 pounds fro flight from London to Lagos , then put them up in a nice hotel for 14 days in Abuja. Then plan to fly some back to their final destination. The US govt will fly you to DC and you are n your own from there.
Some people will not see this now and commend the govt oh. They will only wake up when it's time to critic the govt.
The UK govt charged 550 pounds for her citizens leaving on the same plane back to London.
These are first hand information.

So none of those following Jesus have never been shot and killed? Abi? That happens every sec around the world. Even Pastors and priest are shot and killed around the world. Jesus didn't save them. Rubbish talk.

These over religious fanatical zombies in Nigeria self. Can't you just respect the man's way of life and say RIP?

In your dreams...

No problem. Nov will soon be here before you know it. Pls don't blame some unseen characters when he finally loses.
I can just see the list of excuses now, oh it's election fraud, it's the immigrants voting, it's Obama, it's Buhari, it's the Anti Christ, it's the Muslims, it's the deep State, it's the black folks, it's the Chinese.
And I'm sure Dotard Trump will blame everyone but himself. In fact they might need the police to get that narcissistic Orangutan out of the White House.
Just watch

MuchAdo:
And they will give him victory as they did 4 years ago...

That was a fluke that surprised even Trump, he never thought he was going to win. We gonna make sure that the mistake is not made again.
Biden is the Next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Take that to the bank.

The American President will be respected around the world again.

You are one of their followers.

You better stop watching that fake Faux Entertainment channel. Get your news from reliable sources. CNN, BBC, NBC, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and list goes on.
Faux entertainment is not even a news channel, all they do is entertain with fake news to please their Dear Leader TRAMP.

My trip to Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Poland in August of 2019 clearly shows that those economies are clearly prepared for anything that may come.

I sincerely apologize for supporting Buhari in 2015, Jonathan's government with it's unprecedented corruption left I and some people with no choice than to support "anything"

[/s]


Trying to compare the economics of these countries with Nigeria even before or after Buhari is childish.

You probably didn't even vote for Buhari to start with.

I noticed that even when the bad news is about other countries, people like you will try to make it about Nigeria and Buhari. When the bad news is about Nigeria, you don't bring other countries in to say that others are having the same problem. That's when you just want to talk about Nigeria alone. Pls continue with your fucknerry.

You guys are just funny as hell....

Let them come to Nigeria and see what is called recession.

Their worst recession is the Nigerian best booming economy.

Trump is merely looking for distractions from his abject failure in response to the Covid -19 chaos. We the voters will not be deceived nor swayed with his infantile attempt at changing the narratives. Nov 3rd can't get here fast enough.

While the dotard is busy bashing China in public for election purpose, the orangutan idiot, his daughter and son in law are busy importing from China on daily basis. Ivanka Products are made in China, everything at Marlago and other TRAMP's properties are filled with Chinese made products.

This is all for election showmanship. We know better though, only the rednecks and some dumb dumb will fall for his theatrics.

If you try this is a SW and Northern State especially with a Muslim Governor. The next minute - the Criminal Association of Nigeria - CAN will start immediate crying and wailing of planned and suspected Islamization and Fulanization. Then the IPIG crowd will join with their own RUGGANIZATION and marginalization cacophony.

But since it's in the SE and done by a Christian Governor, then it must be for a good cause.

Chai, what a set of confused people.

I challenge you to tell me where kids are presently fed in southern states that I can physically verify like Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River etc or forever with your accursed propaganda.

Where and how many kids are being fed during this lockdown to justify a bill of over N690m every day?

Pls take a chill pill. The program has not EVEN STARTED YET. It's scheduled to be lunched today in just one State then will move to others .

We both know that Biafra would have been bigger than South Africa n measuring up with the likes of Japan n South Korea n even France or Britain.
We both know that other Nigerians like the afonjas n abokiiis will be sleeping in biafran embassies in their respective countries just to get Biafran visas.
We both know that Biafra would be rendering aids to our afonja n abokiii neighbours.
We both know that Biafra would have defeated the afonja n abokiii neighbors several times in football competitions.
We both know that” Biafrawood “would have been hot cakes in afonja n abokiii countries.
We both know that Biafra would have been the giant of Africa
We both know that the Biafran currency would have been stronger, compared to the American dollars.
Oh lugard what have you done
