Fashola, have you forgotten that the price of crude oil per barrel has been hovering around over $100 to $140 for months Now, but it hasn't in any way helped the Naira to regain its value, Naira has been falling against Dollar and other major international currencies while the oil price is rising. How chaotic is that in this Buhari's economy? The only reason that you people attributed to the falling Naira was the slumping oil price, but reverse is the case now.

You don't have to go to school to study economics for you to know that the engine of economic growth worldwide is the private sectors, infrastructure like road and rail network might help but it is not a guarantee for economic growth. Real estate has even proven to be more instrumental for the economic growth than the aforementioned infrastructure, because this capital expenditure helps drive business activities at the consumer level which reduce overhead costs of starting a business, rent.

So infrastructure is not a guarantee for economic growth if it is not aligned with other growth indices that help the private sector to thrive.

Tell me how building rail lines from Abuja to Kaduna has helped the economy of Nigeria.

Tell me how building fly overs have helped the economy of Nigeria.

No body is saying that infrastructure is not important, that can come and at the important places.

Good motorable roads in villages that produce food, that we need now.

There are sectors which will drive development and create jobs before we talk about building fly overs and rail ways which we need to borrow first.

PresidObi:
Nigeria,

A country where proven public service failures stand up to lecture others who had made a success of both their private and public lives. Fashola should be ashamed of himself for talking about economy even while his government has collapsed under economic woes.

You really cannot use infrastructure to grow the economy, what Fashola failed to mention was that the millions of liters of gas used to build the bridge were imported, at a very negative balance of trade for a country that has gas under its soil? Most of the other materials and manpower are also imported, benefiting foreign countries. The number of expatriate workers in JB will amaze you, with thrice that number serving them as cooks, gardeners, drivers and security men. Loss of foreign currency.

You grow the economy organically, by improvements in the GDP, creating enabling environment with power supply (an area Fashola failed woefully) and making sure more people work and exchange goods and services, not to talk about tax. APC keep proving everyday that they are passers by in the corridors of power.

Vote for Peter Obi.

He will make Nigeria so rich and prosperous that the likes of Fashola will relocate to Jamaica to hide their faces.

I was in the Northeast in 2015 till almost 2020, the Hausa and Buhari supporters were making the same statement you just made about giving time and everything will work.

I told them same thing I will tell you now, with a plan, I mean visible plan and blueprint, no project can be accomplished.

Infrastructure in Nigeria is a big show off, every politician is building just to show off, they are not hitting the target, they are even building these things at the wrong places.

If you talk about corruption and insecurity, it is the business of the government, be it present or incoming to tackle that.

mach7:
Fashola and Obi are not mates.

One major drawback of Obi is that he talks a lot and if you delve deep into what he is saying most times, it is hard to correlate his words into tangible solutions for the economy.

Furthermore, a lot of youths shouting Obi really do not even bother to critique his ideas or solutions. To them it is simply about being "Obidient"

Abeg obidient to what? Most don't even know.

Saintinoo:


Please I can't start explaining to you how education grows the economy, any person who successfully completed SS 3 will know how education benefits the economy.

Unless you are not educated at all.

JAGS001:

So you mean obi is better than fashola?
Chai I hope you guys wake up from your dreams, meanwhile obi can't win one state in the SE just keep making noise here

Abassmt:
The problem is that politicians will tell you what will suit you to make you like them and vote for them like Tinubu ,Fashola ,Peter Obi inclusive but no reality these things can not be achieve in short time especially when you are talking about countries as curupt as Nigeria where everyone is looking for ways to get their own share, but a very long time plan and one day if followed by successive gorverment we will achieve it and you will remember who started it.

Dikebuka:
Infrastructure drives economy and we have 3 mega refinery and still pay for petroleum subsidies

Its good government policy that drives economy not infrastructure.

micflo28:
Obidient is not just about infrastructure, it is about production. If we cannot refine even a barrel of oil we use, then we have failed as a nation.

REDshouse:


please Define Human Capital without Infrastructure.... you need to put infrastructure first in place where u can now teach or lecture your citizen on how to use or earn from it...

no classrooms but you want to teach ur students ...

Saintinoo:


Oga Inflation in Nigeria is not as a result of lack of infrastructure. there were no infrastructure before and inflation was at 9 percent before 2015.

Again what do you understand by infrastructure, mind you there are two types of infrastructure, Economic and social infrastructure. Nigeria at this stage don't need fly overs, stadium and dual roads in state capital. We don't need show off infrastructure.

Production goes hand in hand with infrastructure, now here is an example, Dangote is building a refinery I. Lagos, he or the government builds a road that will link the refinery to the town, that's what we are talking about.

Karim Lamido local government in Taraba state has the highest production of rice, the government builds a road that will link that village to the market, that is what we are talking about.

Now you must develop the production and the basic infrastructure comes together. And mind you when we talk about infrastructure, the power sector is another infrastructure, this is something Nigeria politicians don't know.

I am not fronting Obi because I like him no, I only relate with his Economic policies.

uniquetechng:
Explain how Fashola betters Obi education wise.

Pakute:

Without Infrastructures, there can never be production. Do you even understand the meaning of infrastructure?. I don't think you do.

Pandora hoebi with a 3rd class in Philosophy is not qualified to be taught directly by the great Asiwaju of Nigeria.

He should be attending classes where Tinubu's students are lecturers.

All Tinubu's students are doing great, pandora hoebi the olodo should consult them, not Tinubu. Tinubu is too big for him.

Fashola ,tinubu , osinbajo and Co are all considerable Intellects.....

and ,they are also rational and political healthy unlike the fake one from the land of Biafra,,.

NakedTruth4eva:

Yorubas are tribal bigots. I'm from the SS and I can tell you for free that Yorubas have resentment for anything or anyone that's not Yoruba. They can't insult Northerners the way they insult and vilify other southerners. Jonathan's administration wasn't bad like Buhari's regime yet they vilified him and turned a blind eye to Buhari's bad leadership. My happiness is that Buhari's bad leadership is affecting them too like the Lekki massacre and Owo massacre. They supported Buhari because of a Vp position. They have not finished enjoying their Buhari, they are projecting Tinubu

Pakute:

Pls, I beg you Igbos, stop embarrassing this country abeg.
Can you produce without infrastructures?.. Is Refinery not an infrastructure?.. Can you refine oil without a refinery?

Pls face your 2×2 and leave economics for us. pls. you guys are traders, you only buy & sell.

Oyiboman69:
it is more painful that you don't know that one's momentary value is determine by the value of it's currency due to how it manages it's inflation internally.
How do you manage it?,by exporting more produce?. I believe your government has been engaging in large exportation and the result is obvious over the years.
your economical value can only be achieved through a meaningful IGR and GDP...how your candidate right by demeaning infrastructure?

JAGS001:

Very far better than obi in his achievement as a governor and even as a minister, thank God you have Google try to check before you guys should start spiting nonsense outter your tribal mentality, I wonder how y'all obi supporters expect to get votes from those you are insulting their elders, Igbo people only sabi selling parts, politics isn't your way just go and continue hustling in Lagos we can tolerate your nonsense but you can't rule our beautiful country, I mean our beautiful zoo as Igbo used to call it, thanks.

VcStunner:

You all are really hurting, A blind can tell lol. Thing is, The Pandora man found an offshore secure investment destination and like all smart business men like Saraki, he secured is daughters future first because your country's future looks bleak. Now he has volunteered to do things differently and you guys are whining?

What do you want? Progress or retrogression?
Cuz last I checked, the biggest decision Tinubu ever made as a politician brought this country down to 3rd world in 7years. So what is your play huh?
