Can A President (single Individual) Change The Economy Of A Country by natedroid(op):
Whose responsibility is it to pull the people out of poverty? The governor’s or the president’s ? ( someone showed a data that says The poverty level of Anambra state during PO regime was at its lowest (Soludo has a different view about that though )

Why don’t we hold our governors and Senators more accountable? Doesn’t Charity begins at home ?

What exactly are our governors doing for our states ? Or our senators doing for our people ?

Is the president responsible for our weak and corrupt institutions? High import dependency? Fall of the price of crude oil? Weakening of the Naira?

We all seems to blame Buhari for all the woes happening in the country

And many today believe that PO once he becomes president will alleviate the plight of Nigerians

Which reasonable person takes the obidense crew seriously huh They think that fraud of a man can change Nigeria for the better. Peter Obi is coming either 3rd or 4th.

Yes.

The most important things are

1. Know what the problems are
2. Get the right people that can fix them.

After the dissolution of the USSR. Russia became weak and poor. It was one of the poorest country in Europe. Then Putin came and within 10-15 years. He transformed the country. Now Russia is among the top 15 countries with the strongest economy in the world.

Putin didn't do anything he was simply lucky to have taken the reigns of power when russia experienced an economic wind fall due to high oil prices. The one thing putin can be credited for is restoring law amd order to the country but he didn't perform any economic miracles he was just in the right place at the right time.

Prime minister Lee Kuan Yew turned Singapore from 3rd world county to First world country,

Madman Putin is Turing Russia into pariah state, and before he leaves Russia would be more worse.

Please before the USSR was dissolved the USSR was the second most power nation in the world, and was a pioneer in rocket and space technology.. And had the largest economy in whole of Europe.
Even after the dissolution Russia came out the most powerful of all the formal Soviet blocs,Russia inherited all the old Soviet nuke's, Even after the dissolution Russia was still powerful and had the largest natural gas deposits, stop saying what you don't know please.

You can't come out to say this nau
Can you tell me achievements of the Nigerian government when oil price was high?
Like someone said knowing what the problem are and getting the right people to do it.
If Russia was as corrupt as the Nigeria government would they have been it the position they are today.

Think of it

Lol!

Russia was the capital of the USSR. So it was expected. But that does mean that the Russian economy was really strong on the world stage.

It is funny how people jump into discussion without doing proper checking.

Nigeria has enormous natural resources and yet we don't have the strongest economy in Africa. So even though Russia had the natural resource, there was high level of unemployment, high rate of poverty, the list goes on and on.

Just do little research on your own to understand this proper.

Even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia was still among the biggest economy in Europe, go check it out. high level of unemployment ,are not true indesis to check the level of development in a country,
Putin is not the reason for Russia rise, Russia has always been a Major player in world economics and policies
Russia retained the major workforce,the technology, the military hardwares after the Soviet Union was broken up

Think of it
1 Russia is very corrupt but the corruption looks different. It involves concentrating the means of production into the hands of a few oligarchs, putins inner circle, everyone in it has a monopoly on something be it drinks, food or drugs. The infrastructure you see in russia is mostly soviet era stuff.

2 A countries economy is still tied to the international market and that international markets influence can positively affect it.

Oil wind fall > stronger russian currency > stronger buying power with access to European and American markets > greater business opportunities and capitalist investment, combine these with a free market and low population and we have a richer nation with little government input

3 Outside of saint Petersburg and moscow russia is not as developed as europe. Westerners call it Nigeria with snow.
