When the sheep was crying danger, the Wolf kept running. The damage has been done, #istandwithbuhari with prayers for wisdom to turn the nation's fortune, it's a long shot but I know Nigeria would be better because after the drought comes a season of rainfall.

Unless he has hard drugs to export to fix our balance of trade issue, he is only making a mockery of himself by the useless claims. I'd like to entertain his thoughts though.
There is a way out and that way is to diversify
There are 2 ways to achieve diversification
1) FG led diversification
2) True Federalism where all federating units are involved
Which is the fastest.?
To mean it is True federalism
If your useless president starts the journey to diversification now through True federalism before the year ends, we would go far beyond this stage

@Op

Sanusi created this whole mess with his re-introduction of the BDCs in the Nigerian monetary system.

Soludo took the BDCs out and had banks providing such services; banks then employed more graduates and expanded their portfolio but Sanusi came in and claimed that Soludo made some "people" unemployed. This incident happened in 2009/2010.

This is exactly the problem with Nigeria - One Step Forward, Five Steps Backward, always making myopic considerations in the implementation of permanent governmental & economic policies.

Its easy to love Nigeria and wish to make it work, but its very easy to despise everything about Nigeria; how hard can it be to make policies for the benefit of all Nigerians instead of this constant attitude of always trying hard to favour a few because of myopic ethnic/regional considerations?

That alone is an indictment on your part.
You accuse him of criminality first then decide to hear him out later - the major problem we have here in Nigeria (they castigate you first then choose to listen when its too late)

Amaechi,oshiomole & those apc governors during the last regime should be 80% held responsible for what we are facing today,,,
had tht ECA fund was still intact,maybe b4 the end of GEJ tenure,it would have gulped to a huge amount,,
but amaechi,oshiomole & co..did what they did,,thankGod they are still all in the system to see things unfold in the negative direction
educate me afterall we learn everyday.

how are the aforementioned names responsible for the economic meltdown of today?

Sanusi had also spoken against Buhari's economic plan and his handling of monetary issues.

I see you don't support him there.

For all the hate you have for GEJ, you guys gladly ignore he didn't want to give the Governors the reserve funds, because he knew they would steal it all through "security vote".

It was Ameachi who led the support from Governors to demand the funds which GEJ had to release. All that clown and the other Governors thieves where the money is today?
Governors took their share which was just 45% but as you have decided to put the entire blame on Amaechi's head, was it also Amaechi that forced or hypnotised GEJ to squander the FG's lion share of 55% amounting to over $11billion? Was it also Amaechi that crashed federal reserves from well over $40billion to $28billion?

The funny thing is that Ngozi as an economist knows that there is a danger lurking in the corner just like Sanusi, but we have to understand that Sanusi want to protect Nigeria while Ngozi wants to protect her interest at the world bank.
Imagine this efulefu woman ignoring Sanusi in 2012 only to start yernning opata in 2014, when all that she needed to do in 2012 was invest in capital projects and save enough for the rainy days.
A woman that should probably have gone ahead to be the first female president of Nigeria because she can see into the future is now grouped with hardened criminals just because she choose to ignore the lurking danger, to the detriment of the overall interest of Nigeria.

Ol boy Leissez Fairre is economic theory, it works but you have to game the system to your advantage. Every developed country has the hidden arms of government intervening by some form of protectionism. It's the Leissez Fairre that made us lose all our industries and got us to be the dumping ground of the world with all a manner of cheap imports coming in. Let the market take care of itself indeed. Serious governments subsize production activities when their local industry is weak to keep jobs afloat, they sign trade agreements with their eyes open and use tools such as quotas and tariffs to protect their economy. When they gain advantage in production, then they devalue their currency to make their exports cheap. Hello China. Hello USA quantitative easing.

Abeg make you no spill any free market practices if the country isn't negotiating trade agreements to our advantage.

Thank you. Ngozi knew all along, but as per world bank drone, she had to favor her employer that pays her bonus. Who doesn't understand the reverse colonization in global trade?

They encourage African countries to free up their entire market for trade while they protect theirs. The foolish Africans will get all their industries dead since they can't compete with the products coming cheaply from developed countries and we end up exporting only raw commodities. Shortly before the economy tanks and the price of your commodities starts going south, they pull out their profits and walkway and tell you to devalue knowing fully well devaluation favors you when you have an export based economy. Your industries are dead and your commodities are dead cheap. Who does it favor when you devalue yet again?

But you have no choice since you need their forex, so they buy everything cheap and continue with the unfettered dumping of cheap imports and you never develop nor grow your local industry. Rinse and repeat. A vicious cycle.

Fighting that cycle is almost suicidal, but India successfully did. Same for South Korea, South Africa was isolated so forced to develop on its own, China did it, Brazil is doing it and Argentina just started. It takes balls to get out of the leash of the dependency on western monetary institutions.

Diversification takes time and requires serious dollars. It's a long term effort. As long as your ports are still open to cheap imports, it will take the hand of God to diversify except Government actively protects local production. Only thing we can easily diversify to is solid minerals, those are also raw commodities. We need thriving processing industries.

Sacking the CBN governor is a very delicate issue. The market will tumble and the low investor confidence will get worse. In as much as I don't respect Emefiele, I won't approve his termination.

There is really very little we can do on the short run to turn things around aside from the government selling it's assets. All our solutions are mid to long term.
Sack Emefiele and hear marginalisation being cried out, even if you replace him with an Einstein in economics.

In retrospect, Sanusi warned us about the coming crisis. His prediction was just too close and look at the looters surrounding him laughing knowing that some of them were about to steal funds meant for Boko Haram. This makes me really mad

Video was shot in 2012.

Start from 16.00

That Confrence was to convince Tajus like you why fuel subsidy must go.

It takes on average 4yrs for a Taju like you to catch up.

Hopefully in 2019, you will see what we warned you in 2015.

We are in a crises in 2016. Sanusi said what he said in 2012. Okonjo said the same thing in 2014.
I asked how can NOI's statement be nonsense and SLS's statement be bright if they both made the same statements on different dates before this crises we are in.

Okonjo saying it after the crisis started is like me and you getting in the rain and me telling you we will both get wet. Captain Obvious talk.

Sanusi spoke when the cloud was gathering and we could actually do something about the situation. And I have been corrected he said it late 2011. Oil rose to $140 after Sanusi's speech and Okonjo looked on doing nothing like a world bank programmed robot.
