MaziOmenuko:
Couldn't help but agree with this. It is important that we help in building investors confidence in the economy of the country: something GEj, with help from Okonjo succeeded in found, even with fake data and statistics from wherever they churn it out from.

I hope Buhari's advisers will see sence in this also.

...the proverbial father who, in the presence of
potential suitors, often portrays his daughters
as wayward and yet constantly complain of
their inability to find husbands.

AdeniyiA:
well, i think the quoted suitably captured the whole issue, i think the President should stop painting Nigeria bad in the presence of /to outsiders.

For once PDP is acting maturely ...

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has drawn the attention of Nigerians to the ‘harmful consequences’ of the unabated negative statements from the very father of the nation, President Muhammadu Buhari, on the economy and the general image of the country.
The party said “it is worrisome that in the last six months, the President, instead of making efforts to harness resources and grow the economy, has rather continued to apply himself, perhaps unwittingly, to demarketing the nation and scaring away investors through negative labelling of Nigerians and unwarranted unhealthy portrayal of the nation’s economy”.
The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, on Sunday said the President’s unwary statements have become very serious clog in the wheel of progress, eroding the confidence of both domestic and international investors in the Nigerian economic and social system.
“In the last six months, our President has only succeeded in discouraging foreign investors with his continued misrepresentation of our country as a business unfriendly environment, where most of the citizens are basically corrupt, dishonest, and cannot be trusted.
“Whereas we have restated our total support for the war against corruption, we insist that Mr. President’s unceasing blanket negative labelling of citizens, in a country where millions of honest and hardworking individuals/firms are genuinely contributing daily to the development effort, is indeed a disservice and injurious to the nation and the people.
“Furthermore, Mr. President’s recent announcement to the world that the nation, with its abundant human and natural resources, is broke and cannot pay cabinet ministers not only sends a discouraging signal to the domestic and international business community, but also exposes the ineptitude of the present administration to meaningfully and sincerely exert itself and work with industrious and innovative investors to create and manage wealth.
“We ask; how can any reasonable investor still have the confidence to invest in a country where the President himself continues to alert that his country reeks of corrupt people and that the government is broke to the extent it cannot pay cabinet ministers?
“Is the President not directly advising investors against having confidence in Nigeria and the system, and that they risk not being paid for jobs awarded by government at any level?
“More worrisome is the fact that Mr. President most times, makes his damaging comments in international fora with potential investors in attendance to the extent that reminds one of the proverbial father who, in the presence of potential suitors, often portrays his daughters as wayward and yet constantly complain of their inability to find husbands.
“Indeed, this is not the way to go, Nigeria is a country blessed with abundant human and natural resources. What we need at the moment is a serious, innovative and practical approach with the capacity to harness the resources and create wealth for the benefit of all, instead of an apparently laidback scapegoat tactics with outworn excuses and unhelpful comments.
“May we remind Mr. President that even in the darkest period of our economic challenges, successive administrations made efforts in steadying the economy, while always reassuring our citizens and the international community of the strength and economic potentials of our great nation.
“We know that in the desperation to cover its apparent lack of economic plan, this administration has positioned cabinet ministers, upon inauguration to concentrate on diversionary blame game on the past PDP administration. But even this political deceit cannot combat the unpalatable consequences of Mr. President’s damaging utterances on the image of the nation and its economy.
“Finally, we wish to remind the President and those around him that Nigerians, by the 2015 elections, have committed the fate of the country in his hands for the next four years and are not willing to accept excuses for any economic failures under his watch,” the party said.

frustrating anti-graft war". Nigeria is broke and
the people should brace for hardship. - Buhari


One is a leader with vision the other is a confused president

Olisa metuh is learning the opposition business very fast. Good for democraczy.

One constant feature present in every 'Sai Baba' chanter across cyberspace is the inability to think or speak like a rationally sound individual.
Nobody is saying Buhari should lie, Mr. Change Voltron, but at the same time, he didn't have a gun pointed to his face.
What any SENSIBLE leader would have done was to use the Indian trip as an avenue to INTIMIATE potential investors on the direction of his economic policy, so people would be sure exactly where they stand as well as the best way to APPROACH the Nigerian market.
But did he do that? NO.
Has Buhari EVER spoken about his economic strategy (we know he doesn't have any)? NO!
At every turn, the ONLY thing that comes out of his mouth is corruption, corruption, corruption.

Corruption, yet he wines and dines with Audu of Kogi.
Corruption, yet he sings and dances with Okoroch
Corruption, yet he has Obasanjo as his navigator - chief crook behind the Haliburton scandal, Siemens scandal, Econet scandal and National ID fraud.

If you can get close to your "Chei Baba," tell him he's blown his first 5 months running in complete circles, and his corruption rhetorics are becoming HACKNEYED.

I wish I can relocate my state Akwa ibom to USA & leave this country for the hausas / foolanis , what type of country is this ?

Mumu President. There's nothing this old man has to offer. Shame to all these youth who come here to support a man who doesn't have any economic blueprint to better d lot of rich country like Nigeria. Posterity must judge these set of youth we have today

lolaxavier:
PDP, shvt da fvckup. Your wailings are inconsequential.

MaziOmenuko:
You don't seem to understand my point, do you? Even if the economy is stinking, there is no sense in louding it into the ears if the same foreign investors you went to woo. It would be nice to highlife efforts you are making in solving the situation to them so they will have confidence in your government.

@bolded, I will excuse your ignorance and hasty assumption. My tax is subtracted from my salary even before I get alarrt, likewise every other person that works for a structured organization here in Nigeria. So don't go about assuming that people don't pay tax.

In 24, we saw how corruption West Nations are but their leaders sweep their mess under the carpet. Not even their citizens know abt for National security reason. I support PDP on this.
