I don't need to join anyone to know that managing and growing the economy is the biggest task before any political leader anywhere in the world. There are no exceptions.

I think you need to rid yourself of that master-slave concept. The world is increasingly getting globalised. Nigerians are leaving this country in search of opportunities elsewhere and Asians are sleeping in the Nigerian embassies in their countries just to come to Nigeria to work because Nigerian companies pay them better than their own companies.

If our people are not ready to do the job, I will source experts from elsewhere to get it done. Corruption and vested interests have reduced Nigeria to nothing.

So confident too 😅

It is important for me to mention the master-slave concept because you're perpetuating it unknowingly. You've been conditioned to think colonisers can do everything better, the same ones that brought about the great depression. The only Economics white people really know is exploitative. Na them start the pyramid scheme called banks nau, did you not hear that your govt has forgiven private bank owners of 7billion dollars debt in your name?

I repeat, no matter the task, there are millions of Nigerians that can handle it.

Listen to yourself. If Nigeria is paying better why are our people leaving? Shouldn't it occur to you that the Chinese are simply coming here to exploit us? And with all the Chinese you've been employing all these while, is Nigeria better off?

You're confused and that's ok, all you have to do is raise your consciousness. You'll find that your political elites have always been in cohorts with colonisers to make sure Nigeria doesn't make progress simply for their own gain.

Read Frantz Fanon's Wretched Of The Earth. You can find the PDF online. As Frantz Fanon explained, if you should become president, your main duty is revolution against white entities and the finished point of revolution is socialism.

Sir, it is not wise in this age of globalisation and the need for nations to pragmatically work with the best, wherever the best comes from, to talk of 'Colonisers'.


Consultants and appointees never become the boss of hands-on and solutions-driven employers.

It is actually personally interesting to me you make this point about fear of the 'colonialist' many Africans harbour.

I have always been of the opinion that there is nothing wrong with even partnering with an enemy who has knowledge or services you need as long as you take charge of the parameters of engagement to get what you want out of any dealings with them.

That is what African leaders fail to do leading to African nations always losing out in trade, economic and partnership negotiations with the 'colonisers'.

The average African then interpret that failure of our leaders against Western partners to mean those folks are wicked and evil without understanding it is our leaders who are corrupt, weak and incompetent that are letting us down.

You tabled the argument, gave your point and then mentioned my own point as well in my stead. Thank you. Your last sentence is exactly what I wanted to write.

Our leaders who are corrupt, weak and incompetent are letting us down. They are colonised bourgeoisie and their duty from time is to work with colonisers to make sure Nigeria doesn't develop, so as to remain a market for cheap products for colonisers.

In such an arrangement, why would you believe then that there aren't Nigerians that are up to whatever task you bring forward if it's not complete propaganda and white washing (no pun intended). Nigerians are littered all over the world doing exploits home and abroad but you still choose colonisers. The same colonisers behind the great depression?

This would have been done in the first month of this administration without removing fuel subsidy

Petrol is heavily subsidized

Osinbajo in what capacity ? He's a lawyer not a Finance guru

There are many lawyers doing fine as far as their nation's economic is concern. Being a lawyer is not the issue in tackling economic depression

Says who my dear ,so why did your president announced end of fuel subsidy?

lionshare:
No you are yet to answer: I’ll rephrase the question you should know no country exists in isolation and nothing is really new as far economics is concerned . Now which country do you think we are modeling(copying) our economy after?

You are only asking question that is out of context with what I've been saying here so far but I'll still answer this your question

Nigeria economy is copying corrupt economic nations in which the political office holders are not ready to abide by the policy that will favour average Nigerians

Government income..same thing

They are not the same, government revenue is not the same as government salary you emphasized on

and Osinbajo is not one of such lawyers.

Without subsidy, a litre of petrol will be selling above N1,500.

Who is fooling who then?
