This is what you understood from the post

You chose to make irrelevant comment than make a positive comment on the subject matter since you're allergic to good news

I meant USA too is owing China but through promissory notes and bonds.
USA is the biggest debtor in the world.

One thing I have always said is if I ever decide to be governor or president Economics would be made compulsory in all schools from SS1 to university 200 level...

Volume of debt or size of debt is not an issue
Ability to repay is the issue

Someone can owe 2 million and be worse than someone who owe 10 billion

In nigeria the issue we talk about is our revenue to debt servicing is too high..

We need to increase revenue, sadly the only way to do that is to borrow more but use it for what would generate revenue or ability to pay back the loan

So borrowing and using it to build road, bridge, rails, and the reat feel good projects is foolishness... Very big foolishness

And that's what APC have been doing since

But borrowing to share among Goatluck Jonathan appointees is not foolish. You need psychiatric help

Are there no existing infrastructure? Is there any village that imported goods don't get to?

Which infrastructure does the importers use?

No body is talking about investing in anything

It's about investment in your best brains in areas you have cooperative advantage

Lol then you’ll probably pour your money inside a black hole.

First we lack storage system for our agricultural produce. Why do we lack storage, because of low power supply and high cost of energy alternative. You need to build large scale storage cold room system first to even preserve your output to sell to market. Security is also a very huge factor in Nigeria today because if you’re trying to silo your farming to multiple regions and get more people into it, yawa fit gas.

One important thing you haven’t told us is that @96% debt servicing and crude sold into the future; if you get someone to borrow you $20bn and spend it on nothing beside infrastructure/energy/and etc, how exactly will other segment of the economy respond when your loan ground the other side and the germination period is over 3 years for your $20bn to even start reaping benefit?

This one posted this trash and some so called brainwashed olodo upvoted this utter trash.
Just goes to show how dumb some.of the so.called "graduates " are in Nigeria.

You borrow money for capital projects like roads, bridges and the likes. When these projects are being executed, don't they create job opportunities? They have to hire engineers, builders, project managers etc.
When these capital peojects are done, they creat business friendly environments that will attract private businesses to come and establish in these areas. This will lead to greater revenue for the.govt in the long run.
Thr govt should not be establishing businesses to make money, that never work.
Go back to business school and stop posting rubbish that have no basis in real world economics.

Lol.. good response, don’t mind that unfortunate night schooled “economist” fellow just capping utter rubbish!

Oga, you know nothing about economics. The first rule of governance is that : Government have no business in business. Government is all about welfare. Business is all about profit.
Now, how do you tax your citizen, use the money to create a business then request for profit as a means of revenue generation? That is criminality.
Building or construction of roads and bridges is a means of generating revenue. First, the workers pay tax. Second, roads bring about development. An access road to a land increases the price of the land, it also enhance ease of doing business in the area. This encourages business and the businessman will pay tax. Revenue is created.

U don't need infrastructure to grow and economy obi has been telling you guys since 2019

Since 2015 Nigeria have been building infrastructure yet economy keeps dumping yet majority of Nigerians believe u need to build infrastructure to grow economy is this not madness?

So you don’t need infrastructure to grow the economy instead you just watch it and do nothing to facilitate trade Roads

Hope you went to school at all

Also there is a big difference between exchange currency rates and the growth of an economy

Year in year out Nigeria economy expands and grows it’s the number 1 in Africa for this

This is completely different from how much Naira is changing for dollars

Two completely different things

But robust economic activities are what generates revenues for the government. In a stagnant economy such as have, government can only generate additional revenues by squeezing the already suffering masses.

If I build all the roads in your village how would it increases revenue for your villagw

Yes, infrastructure can significantly increase the revenue of a state. Well-planned and well-maintained infrastructure can:

1. *Attract businesses and investments*: Modern infrastructure, such as roads, airports, and seaports, can make a state more attractive to businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors, leading to increased economic activity and revenue.
2. *Boost tourism*: Infrastructure like hotels, resorts, and recreational facilities can attract tourists, generating revenue from hospitality, transportation, and other services.
3. *Increase property values*: Quality infrastructure can increase property values, leading to higher tax revenues for the state.
4. *Improve agricultural productivity*: Irrigation systems, storage facilities, and transportation networks can enhance agricultural productivity, leading to increased revenue from agricultural exports.
5. *Enhance industrial productivity*: Infrastructure like industrial parks, logistics hubs, and energy systems can increase industrial productivity, leading to higher revenue from manufacturing and exports.
6. *Reduce transportation costs*: Efficient transportation infrastructure can reduce costs for businesses, making them more competitive and increasing revenue.
7. *Create jobs*: Infrastructure development can create jobs, both during construction and in the long term, increasing tax revenues and reducing unemployment.

Examples of infrastructure that can increase state revenue include:

- Transportation infrastructure (roads, highways, airports, seaports)
- Energy infrastructure (power plants, transmission lines)
- Water infrastructure (dams, irrigation systems)
- Telecommunication infrastructure (fiber optic cables, cell towers)
- Industrial infrastructure (industrial parks, logistics hubs)
- Tourism infrastructure (hotels, resorts, recreational facilities)

Overall, investing in infrastructure can have a multiplier effect on a state's economy, leading to increased revenue, economic growth, and improved quality of life.

It is still below par we are still spending a large chunk of our earning on debt service. Reason is because we spent so much money on frivolous projects that add no value and supporting a bloated government.
