Soyinka's dyed and tinted hair is deceiving him, where was his instincts when he was saying APC govts are God sent.

“it is worrisome that President Buhari does not have any economic team and there is no policy direction yet, despite spending close to nine months in office.”

Wole Soyinka hehehe.Nicely telling Buhari that he is not handling the situation well. So let the experts handle it. I strongly agree.

[size=14pt]Nigerians

We need to accept the fact that B00hari is killing Nigeria.

The Naira is crashing.

The Economy is on it's knees.

He is busy appointing media people while the economy is dying.

He was elected on lies and is more concerned about the lies than the economy.

Nigerians try and get this man out.

Here is what I would do

1.Spend more on Power, primary and secondary and tertiary education, and rail transport.

2.Cut costs as much as possible in the Villa and in the Assembly

3.Stop corruption....of course.

4.Get us out of our oil dependency.

Let's be patients. APC's are still learning leadership with our economy. By the time they are done with their study of leadership, maybe in 2019 after dollar has risen to N5000 to $1. Then they will start working. I trust Baba! I trust APC! embarassed

I am still waiting for those that habitually berate Nigerians in diaspora by the expression that "Nigeria is the best place in the world". They have recoiled to their shells. Thanks to reality, which by the way has been determined to be a b!tch (excuse my language).

How good could an unstable country be? Delusion is worse than madness.

Nigeria is gradually drifting to a state of anarchy. Businesses will soon close shop. By then, Buhari would have taken us back to 1983.

OIL PRICE UNDER PDP RULE OF 16YEARS
How did we manage the economy when the price was $18? Buhari and APC should not complain. Meabwhile How come we have not notice that cocoa price has increased to over 100% the past one year.

Even if $1 = N1000, Buhari will still be 1000 times better than jonathan. Someone that just shared $2.1billion to his friends like pure waterhuh In saner climes, jonathan should be rotting in jail!

My friend wake up

Politicians are the same everywhere, wake up and be wise.

Nigeria's only way out is to collapse the expensive state structure the military created and collapse them into autonomous, federating regions and see if healthy competion and use of resource control won't change this overnight

This Soyinka and conferences sha...it seems to be his only problem solving idea...sovereign national conference, security conference, economic conference..share the money conference sad
Re: Prof. Wole Soyinka To Buhari, Convene An Emergency Economic Conference by luvmijeje(f):
I agreed with the Prof. I need to see urgency from the Presidency. I need to see that Presidency is worried as most Nigerians are about the economy.

400 naira to 1 dollar is borderline crazy. No sensible human being will blame the President for this but his government will now be judge by what he is doing to stop the rot.

Mr President has diagnosed the problem and tagged it corruption and criminality.

After fighting corruption head on, he would then tackle criminal Nigerians and if there be energy left in him he would then build your economy even if $ is 1000 dinars by then.

Happy country.
But being a multi-task is a requirement for any leader of a country. A good leader should be able to put on several hats at the same time and juggle multiple priorities simultaneously.

Do we need conference to give light and fuel? If actually money was recovered from looters and ghost workers not to talk of 2 trillion from TSA, why are we nose diving. It is only when huge trillions from our economy or foreign reserve,are Deliberately, transfered out of the economy that its money become worthless. Very simple, No point going to Church or National Conference.

Body language is no longer working, the economy has gone to the dogs.

The APC in collaboration with Tinubu and his gangs looked at Nigeria and went into the graves of our nation’s painful past to exhume their candidate to become president, now see where it all got us.

He was speaking in maxims during his campaigns. Nigerians are now faced with the realities of what he actually meant when he cajoled the most gullible that he will take them to the eldorado they craved for.

I thought they said he is the messiah we need. Let him do the magic now. People chanted change when many especially the Yorubas never knew what change meant for a northerner.

Fortunately. PDP E_warriors are happy about this.


But tthis not the time for opposition game now. We need to join hands together

Why didn't it deteriorate like this before now? Have you ever heard of economic policies before? What is the economic road map of this govt? Govt of blames! Clueless govt. Let PMB and APC be chasing their enemies while Nigeria burns.

We kicked Jona and PDP out and brought APC and PMB in for such a time as this. If they ain't got what it takes to fix the nation and the economy, they should take a bow. APC and PMB can't blame their way out of this mess. At some point, this blame game gotta stop.

Time to put on their thinking caps, and go to work. They are no longer the opposition party. It is so easy to criticize and condemn others from the ouside. We need the change as promised. Simple.
