All the sanctions that were imposed on Nigeria because of Abacha's rein of terror by the west were lifted at OBJs swearing in. OBJ did not do ANYTHING special. Regardless of what you heard now in hindsight.

LAMBA. They changed the metrics for determining growth to sell this obvious lie. You can't be borrowing heavily to service salaries in a thriving economy. It is similar to how Fauci and his hordes of deranged psychopaths changed the definition of a vaccine so they could coerce people into taking an mRNA gene therapy in-the-guise of a vaccine.

Was corruption not fighting back tooth and nail to kill her? How many attempts at her life did she face as the NAFDAC boss?

LOOOOL. Stop letting MIT degrees bamboozle you.


Out of respect for Adesina, I would just LOL my response to this.

Yes he did.

Anambra was an eyesore during Mbadinauju's time.

Yes there are no easy solution to Nigeria problem means you must be careful not to compound those problem. Nigeria was already tough as it was before he removed the fuel subsidy, after removing the subsidy, the shege level was increased by x10.

I'm of the opinion that if he had waited for maybe 6 months maybe to critically access the situation of things, he would've come up with a better way to manage the fall out of the fuel subsidy removal. He can easily send a supplementary budget request to the NA to cover the 6 month.

Now the government is on the back good struggling to even catch up. It's self sabotage.

Ibime:
Sarki dey try. He started from Nairaland

But his education level is very low. On a normal day, most aboki no dey speak English so to them Sarki is is the one-eyed man in the land of the blind.

Theflint1:
Lol...now na the time to farm endorsement from any and everywhere.

raumdeuter:
And in those 6months salaries won't be paid or where will they get money for unbudgeted subsidy from

Amigoss:
North was used and deceived by who?

larride:
The same place they are getting money to pay subsidy now.

GloriousGbola:
It sounds cruel and derogatory until you hear the insanely stupid takes from so called online thought leaders of the north who claim they were somehow deceived into rioting.

One thing has changed and that is that it is no longer foreign tribes the urchins are robbing and killing and beating, but their own kinsmen

Ellexy:
By Tinubu na, he used Mu-Mu ticket to deceive them.

[color=royalblue]North was deceived.

E be like say na the new format for the rest of the year.

liveLongNprospa:
OH really?
OBJ didn't do anything special?
The Telecommunications sector just miraculously started booming?
The debt forgiveness by OBJ and okonji?
How much was given to Nigeria after these sanctions where lifted up?

For the GEJ, please tell us how they changed the metrics. You can't just say they did that without showing us working so we can learn about this magic done.

Corruption fought back and yet she was very successful during her time with the help of OBJ which is the most important thing.

You haven't said anything about Okonjo to disclaim her success as finance minister.

Please disrespect Adesina. Thanks

raumdeuter:
Foreign investors left Nigeria during the military regime and came back during civilian rule which fell on OBJs laps

The Bush administration was giving debt forgiveness to many African countries

Other African countries reignited bilateral trades. Econet, MTN were able to do/ start business within Nigeria hence GSM.

EU that only gave humanitarian aides started offering development support. They offered OBJ billions of foreign currency to DEVELOP his country.

They helped with repatriated funds. Monies stolen by past governments started being refunded.

I'm not going to do your homework for you.

Rebasing just means changing the base for which the economy (specifically GDP) should be compared to. It is wishy-washy as I can decide to compare my economic growth from any time to make the numbers look fantastic. If the per capita GDP has not changed, then my useless metric does not translate to truly getting wealthier.

Think of it this way. If you had 5 dogs (male and female genders) and only N1000 to tend to them in 2020 and now they've mated and had puppies so your total dogs in 2024 is 15 yet you still have only N1200 to take care of them, did you get richer?

It's going 10 years now that APC has been in charge, and it's been the 10 unique years in the history of Nigeria where nothing at all was going an administration way...last last una go wash una head.

raumdeuter:
There is a reason why everyone is avoiding the question

What is our income as a country, what is our population
Then calculate our income per head then compare to any country with similar to develop an expectation of where our standard of living should be without Nigerian factor

raumdeuter:
Before APC FG under GEJ and Iweala were borrowing to pay salaries

In this same Nigeria
