omonnakoda:
with respect sir IT IS NOT TRUE FOR ANY COUNTRY. By the way what is your definition of a "far greater tune"

Rather than spouting assertions can you provide a source for your assertions. I do not accept that the US spends $78 billion on agricultural subsidies however you claim they spend more "BY A FAR GREATER TUNE". What is the source of this claim
In 2014 the CAP budget for the entire EU was 95 billion Euros not all of the budget is "SUBSIDY" . How much did the greatest beneficiary gethuh ie payments to farmers there is a significaant bureaucratic cost involved in spending and monitoring that money . We would NOT define the Ministry of Agriculture budget as subsidy in Nigeria either.
Do you want to place a bet on it?

Don't deceive yourself and think you are deceiving others, it is all about tribe, region and religion. Only such considerations will make a medicre like Buhari have a chance of consideration when talking about leadership in this country. He was chosen over way better candidates because according to the Yorubas he can deliver Northern votes while they Yoruba bother about SW votes and hope that power surreptitiously goes back to the SW, we are not fools. If it was about records, Buhari is a mediocre and a failure, he has nothing he can boast of as a leader that he did better than an average Jonathan, that is the truth. He has been in leadership way more times than Jonathan, let him point his achievement and leave all taht granding.
speak for yourself...I'm not casting my vote because of tribal or religious affiliations

You probably don't have a reason. You probably believe what you were told. Why not judge the debate here with open and unbiased mind. You may see that the guy was not wrong after all.

Tell me why he would chosen over Fashiola?

I know that your claim is false. I do not intend to engage in any childishness.
This is quite a serious discussion. You came on and said MANY COUNTRIES SPEND FAR MORE THAN NIGERIA'S ANNUAL BUDGET X 3 years in ONE YEAR on agricultural subsidy. Generally National budget should mean just that NATIONAL but I am giving you some leeway and restricting myself to the FG budget which last year X 3 was about $78 billion. Now I am saying NOT ONE COUNTRY IN OUR MILKY WAY <NOT ONE> spends that much on agricultural subsidy but you are claiming that many do and even named them. So it is time to put up or forever..............

Hmmm, its funny the things we think we know but then find out we never knew

Anyways, if you're sport enough, take up my challenge.

The idea of bannng rice and tomatoes is a silly one. I am sure in the fulness of time if the man wins wisdom will prevail. If the goverment really wants to discourage imports a more effective tool is Naira devaluation though this would tend too favour the wealthy.
I do not particularly expect a president to be knowledgeable or a good economist. What is important is the capacity to set the direction,to choose the right team and to have the interest of the nation genuinely at heart. Where there are significant personal interests that conflict with national interest among key actors in any government there will be problems.That is likely to be the case whoever wins. Without necessarily criticizing Jonathan his team of the last 4 years has been a disaster. I think if he wins for Nigeria to really move forward he should consider getting close to half of his team from the other side. Nigeria is very divided right now and the primary job of any winner would be to heal. Any form of triumphalism could be disastrous. One problem Jonathan has is that he ,like many southerners, has not interacted with many northerners on a personal level though in his case I think his interaction even in the south was limited prior to assuming office and so when it came time to choose his team he was stranded. A typical example is his choice of Finance Minister,a decision probably made with his wife.

You made a bogus claim which you have failed to substantiate and for me that is the end of that.

No we don't import "toothpick". That was a line you heard when you were a kid and have since been too dumb and mentally lazy to confirm as an adult. By the way, if we did import toothpicks, what stops YOU from manuacturing them in your backyard and making a fortune? Dullard.

My brother...... We dey import chewing stick, toothpick, sponge, soap, cream, paper, tooth brush, shaving stick, etc.
If that is true, it is because people like you are too lazy and stup.id to make these things yourselves. It's not the govt's job to make you sponge and toothbrush. Go online and learn to make these simple things and sell! Dullards. What did you attend school for if you cannot create anything? Keep waiting for govt to build you toothpick factory. Umu onukwu.

The cost of producing toothpick in china and the cost of producing toothpick in Nigeria ,which will be cheaper with all available infrastructure that brings down prices. Electricity is important and the government as just refused to provide it.Nigerians are hard working people ,just provide that electricity and you will see creativity .Did you not hear when GMB mentioned about jobless young men running after the buses from the airport to the final destination.That is so much energy being put to waste because they dont have anything doing.
Hahahaha....now I've heard it all. Power shortage prevents you from making toothpicks? Clown. Sorry, it is your laziness and dependency syndrome to blame. INNOSON is building trucks, cars and buses in the same environment.
Re: I’ll Ban Importation Of Rice, Tomato If Elected –Buhari by chronique(m): 4:01pm On Feb 03, 2015
I seriously hate it when you guys come online to talk nonsense about issues you know nothing about. GEJ never lifted the ban on used clothes. The ones you see are being smuggled in. Same goes for stuffs like tyres. I can authoritatively tell you this cos as someone who is into the automobile industry,any time we receive containers from outside the country and customs end up finding items like rice,used clothes,tyres and all that inside,they delay the containers. You have to bribe them to allow them release the containers to you cos those items are contraband. I do not partake in bringing such things into the country though. At least from what I know goes on in the ports,these items are illegal. Shippers don't even declare it on their bill of lading so as to avoid the container from being seized. I wonder where you got the false information that you are spreading around. Nigerians should please learn to be enlightened about issues before spreading them around. From the little I know about importation of rice,you have to be adequately involved in local production before you can be licensed to bring a specific amount of tonnes of rice and the quantity being imported,is to augment local production. Anybody can't just wake up and start importing rice.
olas24u:
It was OBJ policy and GEJ changed it.There was long list of items that you could not import into Nigeria including 2nd hand cloths,it was OBJ that did all that,Fruit juice were only allowed in drums and can only be repackaged in Nigeria.This is to create jobs. Bicycles and textiles were banned.GEJ disbanded it and allowed the in to win support from south east Nigeria the main importers of used clothing,textiles etc.Dont change the story .If he had continued we would have been self sufficient in fruit juice at least

Don't mind these silly people. I have often heard this rubbish and I wonder if there are ANY factories in Nigeria at all.

Even if it is a generator economy are there no other factors of production to give a competitive advantage. Is electricity the only cost of production. I have looked to buy many, many made in Nigeria items (because I feel they will be customised) even at higher costs but alas no one is even trying to make them.

Same they said with telecoms, 'oh just provide phones for all Nigerians and watch our economy out of poverty'. The rest is history. Is it not the same Nigerians who don't pay their power bills and complain bitterly about the high cost of the little electricity they get (even though it is cheaper than fuelling generators) that will be wanting more. Abeg. Who believes that ish. They are just lazy, buck-passing, irresponsible reprobates.
