9.Nigeria's route to economic survival lies with the development of a local industrial sector dependent on raw materials from within. It does not lie in oil.....or in fooling ourselves...the way we have been for decades....with the revenues from resources. I am afraid most Buhari ciritics do not see that. They only see that there is no more free money to chop.

So what plans does this new govt has to diversify the economy? From what we have seen, buhari still has eyes on oil and nothing else. You are blaming buhari critics but yet not blamed buhari or this govt for not structuring a plan to diversify the economy. Till now, buhari is still searching for oil in the north around the chad basin. Does that makes sense from someone who wants to diversify the economy from oil dependency? No fuel, no light, continuous hardship on the people, 4 months is gone and the budget is yet to be signed, people are losing their jobs, companies are closing down due to forex resrictions, foreign investors are leaving the capital market and inflation has risen over 13% the highest in years and you want to people to smile?

[size=18pt]Some Nigerians with slavery mentality.. You stand with a man who does not give a hook, about your social welfare.. Whether Boko boys bomb you or not.. Whether alive or dead.. #istand4buhari and yet buhari refuse to offer you sit.. Keep standing.. #istandwithmyself.. [/size]

Sigh....puts on the propaganda hat as usual

Disclaimer: This is not a defence or an attack. Just stating facts.

1.All those Nigerians complaining....what alternatives do they propose?

2.We are in this situation because since independence....our economy has been tied to the price of the resources that we sell. If the price of the resources we sell goes down, we lose revenue....and our economy goes down.

3.Right now...the price of the main resource we sell...oil is down. As a result...the high standards of living that we enjoyed (not that everyone enjoyed it)...has fallen down too.

4.Because we are so dependent on oil...we have forgotten to manufacture things. As a result....we import. When prices are high...we can import as much as we like because we have the money. When prices fall...we can no longer import....and we have to do so at higher prices.

5.Most of the critics of Buhari.....are not really attacking him. They want to sit down and continue to import things that would make them comfy. The fact that they cannot do that is what is making them angry.

6.We can get out of this mess...by spending more on power and industrial development, and less on subsidies, as well as increasing taxes...and using the money saved to develop industrial support infrastructure....which would guarantee a prosperous future. But these people do not want that solution....because it means that we would go through a period of suffering....which they really do not want.

7. Things appeared better under the last admin because we had the forex to buffer the naira, as well as the forex to import goodies. Now...we do not have that forex....and things are harder.

8. Right now....Nigerians are grumbling. But if they want the goodies to come back....that means we have to take a loan from the IMF or we deplete our savings account to keep everyone happy. At the end of the day...we would have a brief Indian summer to be followed by a 1000 year winter.

They only see that there is no more free money to chop.

The era of free things is over. Time we fixed this country.

P.S- If you want free flow of fuel....you would have to deregulate. But....most anti and even pro Buhari people do not want to pay for fuel at high prices. They want cheap fuel.

Well...that is the cold reality. We do not have money. Better tighten your seatbelts. If it is any comfort...if GEJ had saved money, and told the governors to forget sharing....it would have just delayed the evil day longer.

The only leader i will respect and adore in this country is the person who will have the balls to restructure this country. For without it, we are just wasting our time. it dosent matter who is president

Zombies need Vaccines

Funnily, you only need to LOOK AT THE NAMES of those insulting the President... and you would have got all the answers to any doubt you may have, that this is the handiwork of #WAILERS!

I voted for this Govt of Buhari and will support it to turn Nigeria around, 101%.
It may take time and it may be tough, but l am assured that we are on the right path to revival

Imagine that most of our SENATORS like Dino Melaye, are 'standing' with thieves-on-trial.

haven't you heard? don't you know?


zombies feel no pain!!

Please before people wake up and say shits point out any problem we are having now that never existed during previous administrations... Nigerians should try and think before they act

legs don bend finish

Even the phone wey dem take stand with buhari is low on battery yet they stand with him

stupidity

This is not about tribalism,politics,ipob or what ever. it is about Nigerians and the country itself.
what is my concern is that people are not saying the truth because of politics.
i pitty some people because, they never see any thing yet. eti rin nkon. Just pray that God will save this Country.
if not that oil price fall, it should been another escuse. APC is not worry because, people have belief their failure by the fall of oil price. do not forget about their promise to this nation and always know that if this country had been distroyed over 16 years, they are not left out because they have always play around with one or two role.
Never forget that this the first quarter of the year and the budget which is the main engine of govt. is still messing around the house.
well, na unua sabi, you better say the truth and live politics out of this matter.

I literally had high hopes for this post, you were so on point until you ruined it my blaming GEJ. Which is ultimately your last stroke of evading criticism. Brother you are a zombie and APC follower, forget it. By 2019, APC will still keep on blaming Jonathan.

Let me repeat my last sentence again ....

If it is any comfort...if GEJ had saved money, and told the governors to forget sharing....it would have just delayed the evil day longer.

In other words.....even if we had saved.....we would have ended up delaying the current crisis by a year.

If that is blaming GEJ.....it is you that has it wrong.

brotherly, you blamed GEJ, you forgot that the Amaechi led governor's forum took the federal government to court in other to force the federal government to share the excess crude account.

OK, here is my explanation again


,"Even if we saved, it would not have changed anything except delay the current economic issues till 2017"


I don try.

I woke up today sweating like a Chirstmas goat yet some wonderful Nigerians want me to stand w Buhari

They are standing with their lantern and gallon of fuel idiots without compass

All you wailers SHAME ON YOU..what is wrong with this country is nt buharis fault,the problem with this country is like that of cancer,you wouldnt notice anything in ur body until it has crippled the immune system completely..if you ask me if i'm enjoyin buhari administration,i will tell u capital NO but that doesnt mean i dont stand with him...all the higher ups have looted this country and "zombie in chief" is trying to salvage its remains,if u wailers dnt haue anything usefull to say,go somewhere and hybernate till 2019...WAILERS SEE BUHARI FLYING AND SAY BECAUSE HE IS TOO OLD TO WALK

steph2sweet:
I can't stand with such a failure and disaster cos I am a success.

Asin the guy just they blab!....He said Nigeria don't have money but I keep asking this questions.. Where is the recovered monies they told us they have recovered from last administration so called " thieves"?
What is the road map of this present administration?
What is the content of the agreement signed between Nigeria and China during the over bloated one week travel?


Some people will just be supporting blindly without asking questions.

[size=20pt]BUT WHY DID THE PRICE CHANGE? THIS IS LIKE FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE OOOO[/size]

Yes oh and from fire to CHANGE, the superlative of frying pan. This thing is worse than hell. No light, no job, no fuel and no food. Changi! why una decieve us na?

A few years ago subsidy was removed off petroleum products and people chanted #occupynigeria... The it was only increased to #120, now we are buying the same thing at #250 and more why are they not occupying anywhere yet? The first six months of an administration determines where it is headed.... The Change most people requested for has been served... Please enjoy your meal...

Just take a look at the usernames of those chanting 'IstandwithBuhari' and also take a look at the usernames of those chanting otherwise then it will done on you how divided we are in this country. An average Hausa/Muslim/Yoruba would endlessly chant 'IstandwithBuhari' irrespective of whether Buhari is leading us through hell or not, and an average Igbo/South Southerner and a handful of some Christians would always chant 'IstandwithGEJ' irrespective of whether GEJ was a weakling or not. And very unfortunately, our so called leaders are no different. PMB for instance, had an apple opportunity after he was sworn in as president, to be a true HERO and truly prove that 'he belongs to nobody and belongs to everybody' but, very sadly again his actions and in-actions viz-a-viz his key appointments, utterances and body language so far shows that PMB is no different from the typical average Nigerian who is a religious and ethnic bigot. today we are more divided than ever before and there's no HONEST and DELIBERATE policy in sight to TRULY UNITE this country. My heart bleeds for my Fatherland. God please send us a TRUE MESSIAH!

u r right to some extent, but what seems to amaze me is the lie and blame game!? It would v been better pdp remained in power and all these were happening.

[size=16pt]Nigerian youths that don't like to use critical thinking skills. Are you not aware oil price has crashed from $100 dollars under useless corrupt Goodluck Jonathan administration to under $30 dollars a barrel. This means we are earning 3X less than what we did under GEJ regime when everyone was looting the country blind,give Buhari time,he is working with income that has drastically reduced.[/size]
