Presidiot Buhari spent more than a year employing special advisers on new media and propaganda.

There are currently 5 or so special advisers on propaganda, in the mind of the dullard, propaganda is more important than the economy.
Re: Adeyemi Dipeolu - Economic Adviser To Buhari by NOETHNICITY(m): 2:54pm On Aug 10, 2016
I hope he isn't too rigidly and obstinately aligned with the UN and IMF economic theories, jus like Ugonzi Okonja Iweala, the overrated cluelessly brainless one who reigned as minister of Finance for 8yrs put together and ran the nation's economy aground in the long run.

Yoruba economists can never move this country forward. See how prosperous the country was from the time of Obasanjo to jOnathan when the great Igbos were in charge, despite the so called corruption.

Re: Adeyemi Dipeolu - Economic Adviser To Buhari by Nobody: 3:00pm On Aug 10, 2016

Some iyots in Nigeria are only here to insult. If you ask them the economic solutions. They would look more confused than Mr President.
What a shame!

Foreign earning is the least of our problem right now, the economy is in serious shambles. Buhari should get it back on track first, at least to the point of production rather than consumption, then we can talk about foreign earning.
Re: Adeyemi Dipeolu - Economic Adviser To Buhari by ProfDumbledor(m): 3:09pm On Aug 10, 2016
wait! this is confusing. the UNECA website say he is SA to Vp while op says he is SA to PMB. which one do we believe? but if he has been the SA to VP for the past one year as the website suggests, then he has not been advising well, given the current economic realities. look elsewhere......
