billyG:
I advice him to overtax those big thieves so that they will started selling their private jets.

iwella lies sound more intelligent and brilliant than buhari half cooked truths. Investors and foreign countries don't want to hear your bad side they want to hear what is good about your country enough to convince them to help you. You can't be a business man and go about spoiling your company products and expect to make profit. Buhari is the number one man and he has thebreaponsibilty of portraying our nation in good light to the internTional community . The truth is if buhari doesn't know these things then for goodness sake he has no business in that office. By the time this man buhari spends 12months things may have gone out of control . He simply doesn't know where he is or what he is supposed to do. His statements and so called body ordour shows a man who is catastrophically confused

ajepako:

We all know PDP only steals

But APC lies.. in fact for the entire Africa..

So since it's not about stealing , then I believe PDP..

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.

I said this exactly on the other trend. Buhari is portraying Nigeria as a hopless national.

Can someone pls tell pmb u don't shit where u live!

I wonder how he intends to get investors when all he does is rubbish Nigeria each time he travels abroad.
I'm beginning to believe that buhari might actually be a stark illiterate cos even a trader sealing in the market would not tell a potential customer that her goods are rotten

erinalex:
you think investors are mumu,that u can cajole with sweet talks;they are not morons, give them any information,and they will go extra mile to confirm the authenticity,before dropping a dime. Foreign investors are not as gullible as an average electrorate in nigeria,who easily fell for lies from our politicians. If u expect PMB to start wooing investors with lies,u'r wasting ur time. For all d lies by Gej,how many foreign investors was he able to bring to nigeria? Pls don't resort to abuse. If u have the Facts & figures,let me in the know. No limit to information. Enjoy ur sunday !

tempex88:
Am APC, PDP is right here. This is the second time baba is making a statement unbecoming of a leader. The first time was when he made comment about the judiciary like he wanted to hijack it cos of corruption. Baba needs people to review his statements. Very very important

babafirst:
I disagree with Metuh on this one,PMB's comments are proper for the moment.Do you think investors are not aware that corruption is widespread in Nigeria?Travel around the world and read comments about Nigeria in the past ten years and you will get the opinion of foreigners.Some are even advised to be careful when coming to Nigeria.So even if PMB likes let him praise Naija from head to toe the foreign investors and bankers who know the pattern of looting and cash flow/money laundering from Nigeria know the truth.What they want is a leader who would boldly come out and state the problem and won't bury his head in the sand by glorifying corruption by saying stealing is not corruption.They want a leader who can tell them the bitter truth and say he is doing something about it.Or you think JayZ that cruised on Kolla Aluko's yatch does not know the money was stolen through Dizzy baby?The Indonesian leader does not hide it when he mentions the havoc drug trafficking is causing in Indonesia but he accepts something is being done.PMB is right by acknowledging the problem or the investors will continue to think it's an 'old boy how now lie lie president' we still have.Wailers I expect more wailing in reaction to this but the truth is bitter.There is endemic corruption,branding or no branding,manipulation of statistics by voodoo economists or propagandist like Olisah Metuh to deceive foreigners the way they tried to bamboozle Nigerians will not work.Baba let them know you know the problem and you are fixing it!

tsdarkside:
yea,yea...thats why our treasury is empty....pahhh...


the truth is always better than lies...nigeria has its own micro-economie....we dont need foreign investors....
btw...when did you last pay your tax??..if you even pay tax a tall....

tsdarkside:

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. they know us already.

For once PDP is acting maturely ...

Mexyz:
Mr man keep shut there,just take time and read what you wrote if it makes sense to you. Do we(Nigerians) look like we care about Mr President religious beliefs or morals? We voted him to fix things and not complain,so it is not against his religion to associate with thieves like Audu,Obj and the rest? ....... Don't you think its better to be a liar than a suicide bomber.

calaway:
same cabinet wey amaechi and fashole dey inside?

tsdarkside:
buhari is just saying the truth...you,umbrella demons looted our treausury,destroyed our morals,and many more shiits....

what do you want buhari to do??...lie,that everything is fine??....

temitemi1:
That is what u get wn u have a certificateless Fulani as d president

abdulkabirO:
when u were there for 16 years, what did do??pur economy was 1st on paper but not in our pockets, u guys re just afraid that he is coming for you,fooools...so he shld lie that we are rich when one woman stole 13billion dollars,we can't survive this investors if the truth is not told

Lobeez:
One of the umbrella demons who looted our treasury, destroyed our morals and bla bla bla for 8 out of the 16 years of umbrella regime is still nosing around Aso rock villa and whispering advice to your president. What good do you then expect from the president?

shadelek:
I guess buhari has no idea the consequences of negative speech to this country's economy. Even if what he said is what is happening currently, it should'nt be made known to foreigners, it should rather be an internal affairs. No wonder he was avoiding a lot of presidential debates during his campaign. Had it been Nigerians had better choice, he should'nt have been elected.

Zakkyoz:
yes na. do you have reasonable evidence to prove that they are corrupt? Stop wailing because the inclusion of the duo in Buhari's cabinet give me 'erection'

tsdarkside:
hmm..dont you people want to get it??

we dont need foreign investors!!!...

start by buying only nigerian made products!!...invest in your own self!....

how about buying only nigerian made cars...

tsdarkside:
and then your credibility would be destroyed...at least this investors know that buhari is a man of integrity..better tell the truth and let the investors weigh the risk themselfs...this investors have risk-management-teams and agencies,,,they are not stvpid....nobody likes a liaer....
