I do not mean his party members alone. His ministers inclusive and other well meaning Nigerians whose expertise is needed in this downturn.
The fact that the minister of health could disown the budget speaks a lot. There's so much disconnection between the President and his subjects.

disloman:
This is the reason passingshot keeps saying you will never understand what sane people saying cos your brain can't decode what is been written or what you read.Its a shame.

PassingShot:
Yeah, infants too don't make sense to nitwits.

disloman:
Such comment won't makes sense to brainless people.What you people want is to keep doing things the ways we have been doing and we didn't make headway.This style of govt is strange to you people to understand.I hope you still have your PVC,Come 2019.You can do whatever with your PVC.I believe in this country and trust this govt.

PiperAlpha:
I feel the President is not carrying his party members along. He's a loner! PMB has proved to be a very ineffective team player; hence the reason why he's a tough sell. His anti corruption fight is laudable , but we need more than that.
I was just getting to know yesterday from our Chief Technical Officer that the delay in passing the budget is really affecting our operations. Activities have been very low because there's no direction. In all the JVs, the government (NNPC) holds about 60%. The white man (CTO) described all our leaders as very unserious.

It is getting tougher day by day to defend this government

PassingShot:
I don't always make sense to nitwits.

Pidggin:
Omojuwa must be feeling the economic crunch. It's not surprising that we are witnessing so many zombies changing their stance. This is only the beginning, by the time PMB fully destroys the economy so many brains go reset by force.

PassingShot:
I think the combined factors of huge expectations from the govt, numerous promises by APC and the woeful performance of PDP and especially GEJ, are responsible for a rise in agitation from even many informed supporters.

What I am convinced of is that, without mindless corruption that was a common denominator in the past governments, this regime will eventually get us out of the woods.

blackpanda:
Its only in your house tins are getting worse. Any honest person can see the sincerity of this administration. Mistakes may be made, but we see that Buhari truely means well for Nigeria. Its not about blind support, its about being honest and supporting the development of our country

This government is "Super Clueless", they have no idea of governance in the 21st century, more so a multicultural and dynamic nation like Nigeria.


APC is better off in opposition with their usual lies and propaganda than being in government.


As many who bestowed this stupidity upon Nigeria, may your judgment come quickly.

Edwinmason:
we blame the govt. for everything....is it the govt.who will teach these parents how to give their children proper nutrient.

I have never supported the devaluation of the Naira. Every government since the 70s had devalued the naira and we never fared better after the naira was devalued. Each time the Naira was devalued, we also go through rounds of socio-economic crisis. As the naira rate increases against the dollar, inflation would skyrocket (since we import everything), petrol prices would increase (and the same argument would come up again that petrol has become cheaper than a bottle of coke), labour would discount wages in dollar terms and ask for increase in wages (because take home pay would no longer take you home, doctors would go on strike and demand wage increases, poverty levels would increase, etc. PDP/TAN/IPOB aka wailing wailers would be estatic saying we told you Buhari is a disaster and call for civil disobiedience.

So buhari is trying to manage a very tricky situation with the current dollar policy, he is giving dollars very cheap for importing essential commodities like fuel, medicines and industrial raw materials, while telling those that want to import milk, tooth-picks and champaigns to source their dollars themselves. Whether this policy would work in the long run, i am not sure as the policy is highly prone to abuse.

obasiken:
In 1983, people had to line up to buy a tin of milk. Go and ask your father. This policy is an ancient policy or you now know better than 2 former CBN governors sanusi and soludo who have come out to say the same thing.

THE CURRENT ECONOMY: A Fight Back or A Fall of Nature?

I have never been a good student of Economics so i should be forgiven if my assumptions on the causes of the poor state of economy are totally wrong, but one thing i have always banked on and hardly ever go wrong are my intuitions. So here are my thoughts.

Having thought so deep what might be the possible cause of the falling Naira against the dollar and other currencies, i have come to the conclusion that the possible real brains behind all these are not far from the CBN governor, Bank MDs as well as top Financial decision makers cut across all board.

Yes! I watch financial channels enough to keep myself abreast with the world economy, Even though countries like China, Russia, Japan, Australia and others are equally having it really tough at the moment due to the drop in oil prices, offloading of portfolios by investors in those countries, way more supplies been tossed out than the demand for various products thereby causing a loss and shut downs of factories, i think Nigeria's own situation is more political than mere economical.

After the presidency tried to restrict the movement of Forex, strict adherence to the Treasury Single Account, Full scale monitoring of corporate and individual accounts of those on the watch list of the EFCC (with the help of BVN) and recently the outright ban of sales of Forex to the Burea de Change, I have come to the conclusion that these so called financial cabals are hell bent on fighting back and making the Nigeria economy fall to its knees.

I equally do not see the CBN governor having his loyalty to the current president, bearing in mind that the immediate past president was the one who appointed him with the help of his former boss (Jim Ovia). We are all aware on whose support Jim Ovia. AIG Imoukhuede, Tony Elumelu, and others have their allegiance with. Also knowing the presidency doesn't have the sole power to fire the CBN governor without the approval of the senate, the damage to the Nigerian economy by these so called "Mafias" are likely to continue until the presidency is ready to take a very bold stepand damn all consequences and backlash for calling for the sack of the current CBN governor.

I think this is the time President Muhameed Buhari and the APC need to drop all political differences as well as ego and call for a National Economy Emergency Forum. We have world class economist (both home and abroad) who can proffer a lasting solution to this economic cancer currently being witnessed in the country. I am more than certain that a forum that has the likes of Charles Soludo, Pat Utomi, HRH Lamido Sanusai Lamido, Adeshina and others, we will get a solution in less than a few days

With the astronomical way the dollar keeps shooting up, i am more than scared that the dollar is likely to equate N1,000 against $1 before the end of March. This is disastrous as it is a well know fact that Nigeria is more of a consumer country which imports basically every single thing into the country.

Businesses are packing up and the few that are still operating are running almost at a loss as a lot of them can not even pay vendors and staff, while those who are not facing such critical situations are not making as much profit as expected.

While the EFCC is busy fighting corruption, i think the presidency should pay more emphasis on job creation. I have thought of this deeply and done a few research and i think instead of the government channeling all its energy and focus on curbing unemployment through Agriculture and Solid Minerals, more emphasis should be on immediate investments which will yield instant results in solving the unemployment situation that is threatening the country and equally help grow the economy.

With $350, 000, 000 (Three hundred and fifty million dollars) invested in the Aviation sector, Nigeria will be able to have up to 15 fleet of airplanes which will directly employ between 5,000 - 10, 000 unemployed youths. It is a shame that the so called "giant" of Africa doesn't have a National Carrier. The aviation sector amounts for Ethiopia's main economic contribution to their country.

Also, with an additional investment of about $5, 000, 000 (Five million dollars) into the purchase of ferries for the inter-water transportation as well as fishing vessels more than 7,000 people will be employed in the water transport and fishing sector as well.

The above are just very few areas that immediate results can been seen to help reduce the unemployment situation in the country.

President Buhari equally needs to have map out plans to attract investors into the country rather than stiff conditions to scare them away. There should be plans to cut down tax rate of some companies that employ a certain large number of employees and introduction of at least 2years tax waivers for new businesses in certain sectors that can employ a reasonable large number of people.

We need to encourage more local patronages in the Furniture making business, Security gadgets and Appliances, Fashion,Building / Construction materials, Food process and storage, and others.

With the current economic melt down the nation is currently facing, i strongly believe this threat will pass in no distance time and Nigeria and Nigerians will rise stronger and better.

God Bless the Federal Republic Of Nigeria, God Bless Nigerians and God bless all those willing to sacrifice to make this Nation better.

I hear you bro, but the fact remains that the girl is just lucky, you can't take away that fact.

Even if she was paid to act she is still lucky.

She is getting a house, she is lucky

She is getting endorsement from IBTC, she is lucky

She is now a motivational speaker and people listen, she is lucky

She is even getting more deals than Nollywood actress, She is lucky

So whether acting o or real o. She is lucky

johnw74:
@blue, yet he said to Donald Trump who claims belief in Jesus Christ,
that he is not a Christian.
The popes accusation was not Christian.

Empredboy:
do u understand idiom so? Are you for real? Is it the physical wall they are talking about? Interpret what Jesus said.. Destroy this temple but in 3 days time I will rebuild it. Do you know how much Catholic sends every year as charity? Do you sacrifices men and women of the church do every year for the gospel? Missionary of St Paul (msp), Jesuit, Dominican, sis of Jesus, redemptionist etc can your pastors leave their families (I mean comfort zones) and live in Somalia, Burundi and other rural areas for the sake of the gospel? Tell me is redeem, winners, deeper life, and so on in Somalia, Uganda, Burundi, and other hungry nations? But your pastors left their comfort zone (Nigeria) for a super comfort zone(like USA, England, South Africa) claiming they are preaching the word of GOD to people who brought it to us (African). Forgotten that Christ intentions is that the world will spread till the end of the earth but the catholics who you call idol worshipers through their missionaries open this unknown Christian countries for your pastors to explore in future. Ask yourself this question. What has your general overseer done to make the Christian world a better place. If you ask me about my church I will say up till tomorrow Catholics are still in the unknown places spreading the word of GOD and the pope has always let the world know the position of the church in the world of politics you know the examples. Tell me yours

Empredboy:
how can u be a Christian without building bridge to cater for other unbelievers. But you can build wall so that only u can enter the kingdom of God? Remember the story of the good samaritan. You pentecostals are so self centred that you claim to love God so much but don't care about what happens to you neighbors. Is that what Christ thought us. What is the meaning of Christian as defined by the Bible?

italo:
The Pope said nothing to Donald Trump. Post the full transcript of the question and his answer and let's see.

absoluteSuccess:
Even Trump won't call himself a Christian I guess, though he might allude to 'our (America) Christian heritage'

Even if dollars crashes by 100,000 point, the naira will still go south. The only option is for FG to devalue and go back to Economic 101 class.
