Read the above memo with an open mind as a Nigerian wanting Nigeria to make progress and not with political eyes.

This could be a guide for who ever will take up the leadership of this nation come 2023.

These are good recommendations, but like you said it is for the next government. This Buhari led one don't seem to care or willing to do the right things.

At first glance, the suggestions seem solid but on consideration, I become a little sceptical. I don't know a lot of economics but I know these;
1. The crux of the matter is that they are suggesting every Nigerian should make sacrifices towards rescuing the economy. However, the first set of questions to be answered are how did we get here and if rescued, how do we sustain the economy in better stead? If all the elements that got us here are still with us, is it not a defeated cause from outset? Please, I don't buy the idea that Jonathan or 16 year rule of the PDP got us here. Obasanjo and Yar'adua did well with economy. Aside that, 8 years is enough to make a telling impact.
2. What are the effects of these policies on the common man that drives the economy? The middle and the upper income earners can easily make adjustments but can the vast majority of the low income earners do the same?
3. How many Nigerians would repose confidence in a wasteful government and readily make sacrifices? With the Nigerian government giving over 1billion to Niger Republic, Afghanistan and building unnecessary rail to Maradi in Niger, I'm not sure we are broke enough.
4. It's easier to talk about abolishing the State PIT in favour of the Federal PIT, but with Wike's outburst, we now think the unproductive northern states cannot be sharing of the revenues generated by the productive southern states. Is this not a recipe for future chaos?
5. Isn't it a knee-jerk reaction to be ringing so many changes all at once without fixing the security problems of Nigeria? If the citizens can go about their businesses without fear, then the economy would benefit from higher GDP and internally generated monies as against borrowing, even if borrowing is essential and running a deficit budget is not entirely a bad thing in macroeconomics.
6. If the CBN is so bereft of ideas and has lost focus of its primary functions under the current leadership, why is the CBN governor still retained while we paper the crack at the expense of the poor masses? Who gave the CBN the order to keep printing money to the detriment of the economy?
7. Nothing has changed for the common man except the state of affairs getting worse. These policies would compound the problems in folds. Are we sure these people are suggesting these solutions for the benefit of the populace or do they just want to ensure they can continue to fund their lavish lifestyles from the government coffers?
8. Where is the sense in giving the poorest of poor some money a few months back only to turn around and tax them blind afterwards? They must be geniuses that have found a way of investing the handouts to yield enough dividends to be taxed in this terrible economy.
9. Let these people start with cutting expenses by reviewing their emoluments and entitlements to reflect the realities on the ground. They should also focus on taxing the rich, encouraging foreign investments, blocking wastages e.g. the Father Christmas posture of Buhari and stopping their lavishness like their children schooling abroad, running abroad for medical care, excesses of their family members e.g. Yusuf Buhari motorbike example, Zahra Buhari photography expenditure etc. When we see their sacrifices and attendant improvement to the economy, we all will be willing and ready to do likewise.

You read it well
Those governors are jokers
30-50% of their recommendations is to Increase tax

Instead of them to cut cost of governance
2. Instead of outright privatisation which they and their cronies will benefit from, it should be PPP with government having a higher stake selling about 30-49% stake to private companies and individuals

How are we sure this are not just another political rhetorics? Do you really trust anything again in these people?

These are tough decisions to make, government is afraid of backlash considering that the populace is not happy with it at the moment. Secondly, NLC will kick against some of the proposals. Only a President will balls will take these decisions.

If I had seen
1.reduce security vote for governors
2.reduce allowances of national assembly members
2.reduce allowances of political office holders etc I would hv taken this serious.
Abeg, they should do and go. We can't wait.

All these will just be a drop in the ocean, the allowances you mentioned are not up to 5% of national expenditure. We need stronger measures in addition to these.

Why should VAT be centralized when some states opposed the consumption of certain items within their jurisdictions.... Vat is levied on consumption and services within states .... Every state should go and create demand within


I still saw subsidy that Buhari made a political capital of... Why should you now deny any person the same advantage

Read points 32 and 33 and the addendum.

In addition, fixing the naira at N418 and refusing to float the naira, leading to unnecessary black market rates. We all know the actual rates, so why would you sell at an unreal rate? This only does one thing, create room for laundering and profiteering.

Did anyone read number 22?

They want a tax of 3% flat rate for someone earning 30,000 and someone earning 100 billion.


In the developed countries, the one who earns MORE, PAYS MORE.

But here in Nigeria, these crazy politicians want the percentage to be the same.

See how insincere they are.


They didn't say much about their own allowances

1. Sack all civil servants above 50 years

2. Impose 3% flat tax on every Nigerian earning 30k

3. Force all unemployed people and farmers to pay a compulsory #100 monthly taxes

4. Reduce the social intervention program from 570 billion to 200 billion.

But, they didn't advise FG:

1. To sack all elected politicians and appointees above 50 years

2. Reduce salaries of all elected politicians and appointees by 50%

3. Reduce National Assembly statutory allocation

4. Reduce the cost of governance

APC policy has always been about taking more from the poor. Only fools will vote APC to rescue Nigeria from APC


33 governors, yet you blame APC alone.
