you are silly if you think the government isn't doing anything but just folding its hands. do you think it's easy running a country if the government folds its hands for just 1 week, the whole country will crash. yeye dey smell.

So if the govt is doing something and inflation has risen from 9 to 13% in less than 1 year. Stock market crashing, unemployment on the rise, insecurity, Then imagine what will happen when they fold their hands.

So this is what they are achieving with all their efforts. Then I will be correct to say that GEJS folding of hand is better than PMBs hardworking. Afterall u said GEJ was clueless and doing nothing.

There is no way you can solve a problem without establishing and reminding yourself of what the problem is. Also with the suffering masses crying out everyday, and with the dubiously hypocritical opposition (who put us in this mess) spewing balderdash everyday, it becomes inevitable for them to keep announcing and re-announcing what the problem is even whilst they take steps to fix it.

So what are they doing presently?... I do not know, I am not in the govt, but I sure know they aren't sitting back, folding their arms and just watching while things get worse. I believe they are doing something and the bitter truth remains that there is no fast way out of this economic quagmire we find ourselves in today; except of course you want them to come out and start lying to Nigerians.

Finally, the solution to this messy situation is to diversify the economy and diversification can never be done in a day except God himself comes out and does it. In essence, the messy situation will persist for a while, except oil prices miraculously jumps back up. I appear not too bothered because I have a bit of an understanding of the magnitude of the rot and also know it cannot be cleared in a day; you cant feel too disappointed when you don't expect too much.

Give it up, man. Simply accept that this government is a colossal failure!

What is ur government doing other than what Kemi pronounced ? That is, to collect revenue from oil and pay for services given to her( collect and disburse).


So tell me what ur government is doing if actually they are doing something.


U said i am silly yet u couldn't even mention what they are doing in quoting me.

Okay the government is a colossal failure, happy now?

it is madness to blame Kemi Adeosun or Buhari for the problems of our economy; it is what they met on ground, they didnt create the problems that we are facing!!

it is also equally madness to blame the previous administration for the current state of the Nation, most especially when the power to make changes has been transfered to Buhari and his Ministers; Kemi Adeosun inclusive.

Any fellow trying to excuse Kemi Adeosun's lack of knowledge of Key economic figures is totally daft, seeing that she is now technically responsible for the economy and figures/indicators are used to make decisions.

Its like a football coach who just sent out players to a pitch for a match and he doesnt even know who the players are neither has he seen them in action. Do you expect him to win!!

Even John quest of CNN, seeing Kemi Adeosun's performance and the state of the Nation was forced to declare Nkonjo Iweala as the best finance Minister we have ever had.

We had clear figure, clear economic goals, clear yardsticks for determining our line of action. Now, even economic respondents abroad lack the capacity to rate Nigeria because we dont have any clear economic goal except to diversify the economy from oil into agriculture; a goal that isnt even reflecting in the 2016 appropriation bill that people are wondering when Buhari will sign, else he wouldnt have invested less than GEJ did in Agriculture in 2015 if he truly wished to shift from oil into agriculture.

Any one who has seen Kemi adeosun's CV from day one will know that she never sought a career in Macro-economics or any form economics for that matter. She is more or less a Professional auditor who just got her ICAN less than 3 years ago!!

i wasnt expecting her to amaze me now and i am not expecting it ever. She is practically running the economy like OJT - On the Job trainee.

she doesnt even have a Master's Degree, na Post graduate diploma na e she get so!! Make una just dey know say na one chance motor Nigeria enter!!

See her profile here and explain to me what makes her qualified to steer our economy!! Na BT telecoms - Foreign Telecomm firmand she was even an auditor there - just imagine how low Nigeria has gone!!

I'm not even here to argue, but I just want to ask you one simple question:

WHY ARE THEY THERE

As in, why are they in government if you feel its okay to just be listing all our problems everyday, without working on them. We might as well be on auto pilot, no

That's how Adesina blatantly said that those complaining about power should go fight pipeline vandals

So now you feel proud saying scarcity, scarcity, scarcity abi So what is the solution then Or did we elect this government to just simply state all our problems

Excellent point!!!

Nigeria's problem are well known:

+ Infrastructure deficit (or crumbling infrastructure) - power, roads, etc
+ Endemic Corruption
+ Mono-economy or dependence on oil alone
+ Poor agricultural base (inability to feed ourselves or over-dependence on food imports)
+ Crumbling education and health care

Even bus conductors, the barely literate gate man, and indeed every Nigerian can articulate these things.
What is missing is solid plan of action and follow through in execution.

So we expect a highly educated and experienced govt minister who comes to a public media to clearly articulate clear and cogent solutions and plan of action. One can therefore understand the angst of Nigerians when a highly placed Minister would come to TV and start listing the problems all over again. Worse still, she seems rather tentative and unsure of her facts and figures.

There was absolutely nothing wrong in what Lai Mohammed said. The only problem is the pathetic incapacity of Nigerians to engage in critical reasoning; we actually prefer to make jokes and laugh rather than sparing a microsecond of our time and a tiny fraction of our intellects to ruminate on the import of certain statements. Of course Nigerian social media has been agog for 2 days with our so called leaders of tomorrow making jokes and throwing away the embedded message; I just shook my head in disgust at the shallowness of most Nigerians.

To summarise the meaning of Lai's simple statement for those who have failed to deploy critical reasoning, Lai was simply referring to the vast economic potentials obtainable from promoting cultural festivals. Today we have the Calabar carnivals where we copy far away Caribbean culture, meanwhile we have our own culture which can also be redefined, rebranded and promoted. There is hardly any community in the entire SE for example which doesn't have a particular 'Mmanwu' festival; so also is the case for almost every community in the SS and SW (I dont know about the north). When you imagine the economic benefits the Calabar carnival alone accrues to the city, you can only imagine what could be possible if cultural festivals can be totally overhauled, re-branded and promoted. It took a visionary leader like Donald Duke to think about a thing like the carnival, and I am sure he was seriously mocked by Nigerians like yourself at the time. Today all that is history, we now have many other cities copying Calabar.

Once again I put it to you, the problem is not Lai Mohammed because he was only making common sense, the real problem is uncommon-ness of common sense amongst the teeming population of Nigerian youths evidenced in the inability for critical reasoning and the inordinate desire to make jokes out of everything.

I for one, marvel at folks who try to hold forte for Lai Mohammed's as regards his statement of Masquerades being "Repackaged" to employ Nigerians!!

Lai Mohammed made a comment that clearly display his talent for telling lies. It is largely on the basis of this comment that his entire deposition is discredited; also it is largely on the basis of this particular comment that the Honourable members of the House of Reps raise questions as to to how he intends to generate employment through tourism!!

Please note that I am paraphrasing and not quoting verbatim.

"That there are Maquerades in the South-East - E don go find trouble for IPOB people side - that require a 100 people to dress them up and another 100 people to UnCloth"

He also suggested that rebranding the masquerade preparations can provide employment opportunities for 1000 people!!

All those people arguing in favour of Lai Mohammed are simply trying to make "a way where they seems no way". Something me I know say na only Baba God dey do and not Buhari nor Lai Mohammed.

I am from Edo state, and I know that except we want to create masquerades just for the sake of tourism; not just any tom, dick and harry is permitted to be involved in preparations of masquerade - a lot of them which have Occultic/Spiritual implications which are closely linked to our culture.

Except for folks who are willing to bastardize their cultural heritage for "green-backs" from tourist, in most communities in Edo-state; such idea is just dead on arrival.

Highest, they televise the festivals and invite local and international bodies to sponsor it, that's all.

Anything other than that, is living within the realm of Lai Mohammed's vivid imagination, which I perceive is very roboust; judging from the big big lies the guy dey blow daily!!

The simple point Lai was trying to make was that masquerade festivals (or similar cultural festivals) could be rebranded and promoted for tourism, EOD!

With the explanations I gave, only a person who is politically or ethnically prejudiced would still argue over this simple explanation.

Well!! Except I am quoting Lai Mohammed himself or his Personal assistant on Masquerade Affairs; he didn't give the scenerio/analysis/explanation you gave!!

Except you are planning to corner him one of these and offer him your "Explanations": we are doomed to judge him by the explanations he gave and not the one you gave.

We judge him, only based on the scenerios/explanation he debated on the floor of the House just like people judge fashola based on his 6months "Rocket Science scenerio".

And based on the Explanation he gave, Lai Mohammed like Fashola was just pulling out Scenerios outta his ass.

One thing, he didn't even mention the particular tribe nor the name of the masquerade festival in the south east where he said it takes 100 people to dress-up a masquerade. Also nobody in the east, not even in Cross-rivers - that has a plethora of Masquerades - is corroborating is 100-man dressing committe masquerade.

Is it possible to rebrand certain aspects of culture of some states for tourism!!?? Yes!!

Is it possible given the scenerio Lai Mohammed gave!!?? No!!!

From corporate organisations to even project defence within an academic environment environment. If you propose a theory/hypothesis or a project and provide case studies; if scenerios within the case study are faulty or deemed not plausible, then the entire project or hypothesis is called to question.

Either you work on your scenerios/case study or change project/hypothesis.

As a minister, I expect him to work with facts. You - to the best of my Knowledge, which is very shallow as far as you are concerned - are not even a minister. But you were smart enough to give details of how to successfully rebrand festivals and you cited specific examples!!

Then a whole minister is busy throwing vague ideas, similitude of knowlegde and speculations!!

That actually bears the trappings of sheer cluelessness at best, at worst, incompetence and a sign of a minister of information and culture who has no information on culture!!

A scenerio that replays itself with Kemi Adeosun!! Who equally displays sheer ignorance of facts and figures; basic tools required to lead organisations. How much more a country as big as ours!!

Its a sign!! A very bad sign I tell you! And you would need to have a huge bias for the current government or party in power to think otherwise.

Period!!

Fake/exploitative foreign investors don't take their money to places where there is no money; the new ones ignore such a location and the old ones pack their bags and leave. You don't need to be reminded that there is a severe scarcity of funds in Nigeria presently, do you?

Also, with the nation relying on only oil for foreign exchange, I'm sure you don't need an explanation as to why there is a scarcity of forex? When there is a scarcity of a commodity, I'm sure you understand based on the principle of demand and supply, the reason why the value of this commodity goes up?... Finally, with the sky-rocketing cost of obtaining forex especially in an import dependent nation, I'm sure you shouldn't need an explanation to know why the cost of goods and services would go up (inflation)?

did gej stop states from investing in agriculture?
did gej also embezzled state monies meant for agric development?
we heard of groundnut pyramid of the 70s n cocoa produce from southwest of 70s too, did gej made their govrs clueless in investing in those cash crops?

the northerners knew if gej won that election, 2014 confab will be implemented n put into law. implementing that report means the niger delta states will control their resources so no more free money to share to those parasites, so they teamed up with the yorubas n act a fool.

once states keep receiving free monies from oil sales, how will they reason wellbeyond oil?

Lol... @obailala or what ur name is, I guess you don't have any other lies to counter the guy's post. I guess you are in APC's payroll because you don't live in Nigeria and you don't know the extent APC's lies and clueless system of govt has destroyed this country and the level of hardship they have inflicted on Nigerians. Just like what you said that you don't know what the govt is doing but..... It is the duty of information minister to always keep Nigerians informed of govt steps, plans & actions but Lie Mohamed is busy with telling stories of masquerades and festivals.

There is a reason we go to school, it is not to pass exams, neither is it to just get certificates to apply for jobs.

He should make sure he explains every lie in detail so Nigerians know what to digest and what to keep in the trash.

I don't know who is more confused; you or Lai mohammed!

A man was invited to the National Assembly - The house of Reps to be precise - for a sectoral debate on how he intends to Boost the economy of this country through tourism as the Federal Minister of Information and Culture!!

In light of the fact that this exercise is taking place at the same venue where he defended fiscal budget for his ministry; details won't hurt anyone.

Except he himself had no clear idea of what he wants do!!

He has a ministry that has a budget that was defended and has been signed. Billions of Naira have been voted to his ministry; now they invite him to a Media Parley/debate at the National assembly on National Television to explain how he intends to make tourism a Money spinner and he is busy giving anonymous masquerades.

In the absence of details, let me guess; he will travel to the south-east and ask the igbos and IPOB people alike to give him the names of maquerades that they just any bloody tom, dick and harry can participate in the rituals of preparation.

The basic requirement for recruiting and branding is that the masquerade must need between 100 to 1000 people to dress it up and then UnCloth it as well!! Is that it nkwa??

And you; with all your years of education and thinking faculty see nothing wrong with it. Then you must have a problem of your own!!

Ok! You want me and all sane Nigerians alike to comprehend the details - from fictitious and unrealistic scenerios like professional maquerade dressing - of how Lai mohammed wants to spends billions of Naira to make the tourism sector of this country a money spinner and a means of generating employment and boosting our economy!!

Failure to do so, automatically makes one politically sentimental,tribal bigots infact our thinking faculties have gone on recess!!

You clearly have a problem that even common sense cannot cure!!!

An educated Minister would have at least referred us to the basic details as contained in the approved budget details - which is in billions of Naira - that he just defended intend of telling masquerade stories!!

A smarter minister would have stressed the need to curtail excesses -considering the paucity of funds - and even campaigned for more funds to push for projects that were not approved by House committee on appropriations that have the potential to improve our fortunes as a Nation.

Instead of going to tell more lies on national television!!

Just watching the finance minister on channels. Trust me she really potrayed this administration as confused and clueless.
