Your #BuyNigeriaOnly means little or nothing to import via any shipping company.

You have little or nothing worthwhile to export via any shipping company.


So, what do you need the shipping companies for?


You can not have it both ways.


When they were ruining your economy and looting and sharing your money and foreign reserve, you didn't care, you were busy shouting GEJ till 2019..


Cry me a river....yeye people.



Some people can be very foolish. Cry me a river indeed as if you or someone you know is not negatively affected by this harsh economic condition

Good news na. All I can see is that importation has fallen to 50%. Perhaps thats the reason for the appreciation of the naira now!

God bless PMB
Long live Nigeria!

I am very happy over this development, in fact the Nigerian ship owners should be very happy over this development. if the government would only send for people like us to work out a robust foreign policy to turn this negative situation to our advantage, by expanding our foreign policy to allow our business men and women capitalize on this situation

Maybe you didn't read that well, Its MAJOR not minor!

Please continue blaming him. While he is enjoying his life; and don't focus ur energy in making Buhari fulfil atleast one of his promise.


He is not enjoying anything. GEJ has lost control of pdp, he is a laughing stock internationally, and a major media group called him "an ineffectual buffoon"!

God help us in Nigeria. This is 1980s all over again. Same old story, just a different narrative this time.

Buhari is God's curse to Nigeria. Just in a period of 9 months things have gone South to the extent the President now travels to Saudi Arabia to pray for the nation.

Anyway, what do we know? Somehow someway we go survive am till 2019. At least some people eye don clear.

That is exactly what I and my business partner have been saying. Just as in the 80's you'll start to see multinationals pulling out of Nigeria. The next will be the Airlines, their inability to remit back funds to their home countries and reduced traffic is really hitting their business. I would also not be surprised to see big retailers like Shoprite close shop(Remember what happend with Kingsway in the 80's)

Unemployment up, prices up, economic activity down, and yet the president does not even have an economic adviser

Rest! For GEJ to endorse that proven Boko Haram sponsor as PERMANENT Chairman of PDP at the surprise of many people shows that GEJ has not learned from the events of last election.

GEJ is annoyingly flippant and stolid and does not deserve to hold a public office again.

I know you may be tempted to say I'm an APC apologist. No, sir. All I care about is a formidable opposition that will compel APC to do the right thing, and with Sheriff's appointment, PDP made a big mistake

The refineries had resumed work. But the militants that GEJ was nurturing with public funds during his tenure, blew up the pipelines supplying them crude. So please, tell us who to blame for that...

Whether SAS is chairman or not. PDP will rise again. If not why will APC in just 8months do a rally #Istandwithbuhari. Because they know nobody is standing with him again. Even the rally sef, no pull weight. They know he won't survive 2019 medically or economically. My dear all PDP has to do is field Lamido/Ribadu/Shekarau den a any westerner as a vice. And watch how they will win with a great margin. The chairman of PDP means a little my dear. Right now buhari has finished APC to the point of no return just in 9months. Wonder how 2years will be. The only 3 indications APC would av proven to us they were ready for governance they failed woefully.
1) the choice of NASS principal officers. Wat were they doing that Saraki and Ekweremadu decieved them. They really messed up.
2) the choice of Ministers. Me and u know that's a compensation list; not chosen based on competency and merit.
3) the 2016 budget.

I rest my case.

I would av replied u but u just showed ur ignorance in the happenings of this country and it's history. So u think it's Tompolo that blew up that pipeline? After he has said he is not involed.

That pipeline was blown by some FG cabals that never wanted our refineries to work for the past 30years, for their shady deals forimported refined crude to continue. Imagine one pipeline blew and all the refinery shut down. Please tell me another super-story. They just want to nail it on Tompolo's head. And deceive Nigerians like u that is was Tompolo that did it. They don't know some Nigerians are wiser now. Why will Tompolo blow a pipeline wen he signed amnesty agreements.

My friend u don't even know the country u r citizen of. Next time don't say wat u don't know and deceive the populace.

That's becos lazy Nigerians aren't producing enough export to keep them busy. What we like is that the FG subsidizes Dollar for us to go buy cheap Dubai and China made articles thereby help keeping their own economy afloat. Oil price has dwindled and it is time for those chest beating citizens to start exporting their products if any exist. We could av been exporting refine crude but PDP refused building refineries when there was money. They preferred to increase unproductive workers pay and steal us dry.

APC, the Bane Of Nigeria's Present Economy


and if this had happened in the time of Goodluck, only God knows what these Bunch of Ediots would have said...

What is happening has nothing to do with who was or is in charge....it has everything to do with the fact that thanks to the drop in oil price....Nigeria has no excess pocket money to spend at the Import Shop.

We could blame GEJ for not saving much....but the fact is....if GEJ had saved like Scrooge.....we would have been in this situation next year. Especially if oil remained at lower prices.

Beyond politics ......the main problem is that Nigeria is too dependent on oil. When the prices are high.....government can do millions of things. When prcies drop.....government can do nothing at all.

We Nigerians have to get to work.
