Moh247:


fought accross Africa from cote d'viore to liberia and sudan, peace keeping after peace keeping
financing anti aparthied freedom fighters, bailing out poor nations in west africa... massively donating to regional secuirity and offering NDA kaduna as African military and leadership training center
what the west would write about nigeria is yahoo yahoo, banditry, and terrorism... they write it so well that some Nigerians have started believing the falsehood they write about them not being great men and women.

Ur comment is 100% spot on. in addition,we keep loosing men in other to keep the peace of other African countries but gets paint black. So sad

Rome was not built in a day. The groundwork for the Nigeria we should have been enjoying today should have been laid by Babangida, Abacha, and Obasanjo.

Your ignorance stink, Google will save you from foolishness, NNS KADA is capable for the mission she's going for. She's not the highest ranking naval ship in Nigeria.
Kada is powered by two Caterpillar 3516 diesel engines and four Caterpillar C18 generators to provide a top speed of 16 kt and a standard range of 4,000 n miles at 15 kt. It features a bow ramp and davits for two landing craft, a 540 m² roll-on/off (ro-ro) deck, and a 420 m² cargo deck for dry stores and ammunition.

I am confused, pls I would like some clarification. If we have enough troops to export, what is the army of Niger Republic doing in South east?

Unfortunately, all the avove points you raised can't eliminate the fact that your country was better 8 years ago before Buhari came. Hope you are aware that your country is losing 400,000 barrels of oil on daily basis which is being syphoned abroad as black market by the powerful syndicate in government right under the watch of your dear Buhari who doubles as President and Petroleum Minister? Hope you are also aware that your country's accummulating debt profile is far higher than revenue and your generations to come will continually be indebted to world bank and chinese lenders? Hope you are aware that your hero Buhari himself confirmed that he is tired of governance and can't wait to retire to his home after handing over in 2023? Hope I am not wasting my time talking to an incorrigible ignorant?

I already gave you a detailed answer previously but was banned by the bots.

If I ask you how we were better 8 years ago, the first thing you would likely tell me is that the price of rice was 9000 naira then, which is a Congent reason, but price of rice alone does not determine a sustainable economy. The naira has fallen about 3 times over now but let it be known that the naira was already dwindling fast as at 2014. From Obasanjo to Jonathan, our foreign reserves dwindled from around 63 Billion dollars to about 29 Billion dollars. What was the cause? They were supporting the naira with the reserves, so it shows that the naira was bound to fall either way but we had enough reserves due to sales of oil at 2.5 million barrels per day.

I know and Buhari should do better there. Our oil production would definitely be back on track soon.

Oh come on. We have a far larger population and a bigger economy than Egypt and South Africa. Egypt with a population of just 100 million people and GDP nominal of about 435 Billion dollars, have a debt over 250 Billion dollars already mostly external debts. South Africa with a population of 60 million and about 430 billion dollars nominal have a debt of 282 Billion dollars (still rising) with a staggering external debt of 173 Billion dollars.
Nigeria with a population of 206 million people and GDP nominal of 511 Billion dollars, have a debt of 100 billion dollars with about 40 Billion dollars to external debt.
Also our debt to China doesn't exceed 4 Billion dollars at the moment.

I hate it when people supress the truth, deny the fact and try to costume an obvious eyesore when the reality is obvious. Even a fresh immigrant in Nigeria knows the country is barely surviving on life support.

You said the naira has fallen 3 times over, this now confirms to me that it is either you are not abreast of the actual situation or you are directly or indirectly benefitting from the rot in the system. The naira has never experienced such a rapid collapse under any government like it is under Buhari. While Buhari's tenure still last, I can bet you expect more falls of the naira as it has not yet reached it resting colapse stage, not until this government leaves office. Sanusi was fired for this crisis amidst other reasons, Emefiele came on board and was serious with his job until he sees that Buhari does not give a hoot whatever happens to the currency value and monetary policy altogether, then he also join the lazy band and he further became incompetent just like his boss. Recently, we discover he woke up when the CBN caution that the government debts records with the CBN is historic and no longer manageable.

I am sure you are aware that Nigeria external reserve dropped to $350,000 from millions of dollars it used to be.
Talking about the debt, are you not aware that even the IMF sounded a note of warning that Nigeria will be facing an existential threat with its insatiable demand for foreign loan without putting any mechanism in place as to how the debts would be settled?

You also claim we have a larger population which is a potential for national revenue, which industries do you see that is functional to absorb the teeming population? The few companies that you see around are already taking steps to lay off and cut down on cost while those that can no longer cope have left the country for good. With the frequent national grid collapse like never before, where is the power to run these industries? Diesel that used to be alternative source of power has reached high heavens with its price. Consequently, prices of commodities have to be adjusted upward to cater for the cost by the few industries that could still ration production on diesel.

Is it the population that has already become frail due to chronic hunger and incapacitated due to insecurity that you want to rely on for debt recovery? No wonder your Buhari government's only idea of boosting revenue is by wantomly levying the masses with all manners of taxes ranging from PAYE, PIT, VAT even down to taxing phone calls, SMS and data rate! Such a clueless government made up of souless elements. The countries you mentioned as owing countries above have working system, condusive industrial evironment, strategic developmental infrastructures, secured society, 24/7 power generation and supply, several other mechanisms that are already yielding revenue, as well as friendly and sustainable economic policies. Do you know what it will take to pay back $4 billion to just China? You were just churning out figures that translate to nothing other than poverty for the people and more dollars to embezzle by the corrupt rulers. I even wonder how dare you compare Nigeria with Egypt and South Africa, what an insult. To say the least, how much mega watt is Nigeria generating to stand in the league of such countries? Don't even go there. You had better stop at Niger Republic or Sudan. Ranking Benin Republic with Nigeria is even an effrontery.
Take it or leave it, Buhari has buried Nigeria down deeper than any of the previous government. You will not agree because the government officials will continue to underplay everything and give a pleasant coloration of every of their unkind decision until their tenure expires and another government, hopefully from a different party, takes over and open their messy yansh.
