Yes...the economy is in a bad state because oil price has fallen below the point Nigeria needs it to deal with its financial needs.

Nigeria needs oil to be at $123 per barrel to stay well financed.

Time we responded to the challenge by ending our reliance on importation, and by using the little cash we have now on power and transport.
No doubts he might have good intentions for d country but d way he is going about it I don't think it's d right way. I think he should have focused on given steady power and improve on transportation which will automatically encourage local production. Nigeria has been surviving on importation and trying to stop importation abruptly will amount to starvation

The strike by Ikeja Disco is no longer on since last week. In Egbeda now electricity is very okay. Compared to many places in the Niger Delta that dont have like for 2 weeks. Its that bad.
However petrol is another shocking thing in Lagos. Just e in the East in many places around the outskirts in Lagos and Ikeja PMS sells for N120 per litre. After queuing Im told its 120 .
Im shocked.

In Nigeria everybody is immune to prevailing realities as long as they are shielded.

Are you in tune with the harsh realities of the residents of Borno?

Are you in tune with the realities of those living in IDP camps?

Are you in tune with the realities of indigenes being dislodged from their homes in benue?

Let's stop lying to ourselves. I am not groaning, I have light, I have fuel, I have not been affected by your so called "realities of general economic turn down" - and if I eventually do, i'll jump on the bus seeking solutions than on the complaining bus.

All the vices facing us are to be condemned in strongest terms.

Every thing you mentioned here calls for concern and most sincere and objective complaint and "groaning" for that matter.

If you complain only when any of them affects you, you seem not to have the interest of the Nation at heart. One Nigeria means "One for all and all for one"

Singling yourself out simply because you are not directly hit by the pangs of the economic dull drum and other vices is most unpatriotic to say the least!

Nigerians as a whole, whether North or South deserve a better economic deal than we have it today, and shouldn't be seen as crying too much when we are not getting what we were promised that necessitated giving the only legal power we had which is our vote.

Come to think of it, if we were too comfortable with the last administration, we wouldn't have voted them out with the only legal power we had >>"Our Vote". That was the only option we had then after reviewing the blue print and manifesto presented to us by the ruling party. The difference seemed clear on paper. But what do we have now?

..... Now all what was promised seem not to be coming through, all we can see is promise denials upon denials, modification and clarification of terms etc.

Truth be told, .........
"He who keeps quiet in the time of turbulence, risks losing his head, which houses the mouth, with which he should have used to complain and cause help to come his way before doom day"

We can't afford to be silent in the face of turbulence. Remember the eye and the nose are so close that when the eye cries, the nose also drips.

1,On the blame game, Jonathan's supporters and government officials were always blaming the ''North'' for any bad thing happening in our country.

2.Fuel was N97 offically for most of GEJ's regime.It was only in the last few months that it went down to N87. And even then, it was only in Lagos and Abuja that fuel was sold at that price. Elsewhere.....it was N100 and higher. In the East it was even N150, and in the North...N110-170.
(gej should have removed subsidy. But unfortunately Nigerians like the psychologic effect of ''low fuel price'').

3.GEJ could ''Stimulate'' the economy because we had dollars flowing in for most of his reign. That did not mean our economy was good.

When oil prices were high....oil economies were all in a good state. When they were low....they were in a bad state.(Read about Dutch disease).

You are right to say we are spending more than we earn. And we did the same during GEI's regime too...to the point that we were taking loans in the last year of his regime.

GEJ did not take our economy off oil. What he should have done was removed subsidies,spent more on transport and power than they actually did, and reactivated Ajaokuta....and made our industries source for local raw materials.

(Yes...I know he built car factories.The same thing happened during the oil boom of the 1970's. And many of those factories ran into trouble when oil prices crashed in the 1980's because they were reliant on imported parts. Sad).

4.We still had problems with electricity. Yes...light was on for 22 hours a day....and power routinely went low in the periods of Feb-April because....the reservoirs were low. Also, because of the bad transmission facilties in the country....some parts got 22 hours...some got 6-12 hours.

Sorry...but GEJ's time was not Shangri-La.More like missed opportunities to get Nigeria developing properly. And as usual...doing nothing about corruption messed the economy up as well.
That is why we voted for change not chain.

Political correctness is not my forte. Nigeria is a culmination of selfish interests, unless you choose to ignore or deny it.

Remember the fuel subsidy era? Was the protest general?

When the chibok girls were kidnapped? Was the protest general?

Let's stop deceiving ourselves please.

It's nine months into a new administration without any budget and you've already concluded that they are failing without taking into cognisance prevailing world economic reality.
