The headline is misleading of what the actually said. Senate President is Lawan is not FG and even at that, he spoke of infrastructure deficit in terms of expenditure. VP said nothing about the economy being in serious trouble.
Indirectly, the info is coming from the gov

I heard they have so much borrowed that china had stopped giving them loans, now they want to face Europe.

Then when they have run out of loan options and they hand over a ruined economy to the next administration and he finds it difficult to perform it would seem as if Buharis government was the best not knowing that they destroyed everything

Our tax to GDP ratio is low bt cannot be the lowest. Corruption has eaten deep into government and now the fabric of society that we have no good infrastructure, amenities or maintenance culture to sustain a functional and thriving society or economy.

U can’t tax people who earn so little after creating an artificial inflation due to ur dismal performance in fixing/handling the economy.

Nigeria is not rocket science to fix and the solution isn’t even taxes. We just have very stupid and clueless greedy people as leaders especially in this Apc led government.

OMG!!!
Buhari and his bunch of incompetent fools have finally destroyed this country and I really pity our next president because he will inherit a whole lot of MESS!!!!
Abeg no pity anybody because they saw all what we are seeing and still prefer to become president. No matter how bad the economy of a country is, there is still someone that is capable to turn it around, only if we can remove tribalism from politics.

So Ahmed Lawan is trying to tell us he didn't know the economy will be messed up when he was busy approving loans.

Op why the picture of Osibanjo instead of the rubber stamp senate president that specialises in approving loans,
I wonder!

backbencher:
As long as we remain dependent on one source of income, we will always be in debt.

It follows that oil prices have never been as high as we want them for ages, and as a result we have to take loans to survive, which is why we are in debt.

Keep in mind that being an oil dependent nation does not mean we are rich, unless our population is low enough.

Nigeria must diversify away from oil if we must survive and reduce our debt.

Modified

Nigeria’s tax to GDP ratio is one of the lowest in the world. It is at about 8 per cent while our comparators are in the neighborhood of about 15 per cent to 25 per cent. Even in Africa we can surely do better. This is symptomatic of undue reliance on oil revenue as a result of fiscal imbalances in our nation’s financial landscape.
It is true. However, you should note that there are taxes worth billions of naira that do not reach state coffers because of corruption. Again, the citizens don't trust their leaders will use the taxes judiciously

Hmm.
We go survive.
Talk of having compitent hands, tribalism, nepotism will come in.
Bring people with experience in growing business to fix the country you will hear them shout "Pandora" and other petty political scores. Imagine if atedo peterside, utomi, adesina, elumelu, Ambode even osibanjo with a competent vice were handling this economy based on merit.
Even the tax spoken about (that is after mismanagement of the existing national earnings), how many of people from the 200m are productive enough to be taxable? 20, 30m? Abi you want to tax alamajeris and so many poor people?
Just one house of reps member was celebrating 28 kids (more almajeri) the other day. Did lawan conderm him?
Anyway, naija don cast, but we go rough am! After all train de to ibadan, 2nd Niger bridges de, train de to Niger Republic. undecided

You kill millions of emerging businesses with lopsided policies that favour monopolist and still expect growth in tax.

There are people that have skills in turning around basket cases.
Even when big multinational companies already dying, you see the board employ a new ceo with heavy experience to turn around the fortunes of the company.
Dont go far, look at our local chicken republic that was practically dead, new management was brought in that started selling "refuel" mean of chicken and rice for ₦500! So a boy will take his gf enter and spend less than ₦1200 with drink, unlike going to tfc, SS etc.
The opposite is Mr Biggs, uac that kept the status quo. They are almost dead.
As you said, Nigeria due to tribalism, nepotism will never allow competent hands.
