I no get sense baa? What has been the impact of Fashola,Kemi,Emefiele and Buhari on the economy!!! Fashola and Kemi would go down as the most incompetent ministers of Power and Finance respectively in the history of Nigeria.!!! Buharo has always neen daft anyway so no one expected anything from him except zombies!! Emefiele has also been fumbling since Okonjo-Iweala left.
Don't mind the op,his eyes will clear when buhari sacks fashola,kemi and the cbn governor. It is then Nigerian will realize the the greatest challenge and problem Nigeria is facing now is buhari

[b]The main problem of Nigeria isn't over dependence on oil alone it's over dependence on imports. Tell me one finished product Nigeria exports, none!!! Economic diversification is the only way and it's always a long term project, so I'm non-plussed with IMF's negative economic indices.

I feel the PMB's government should focus on:

1). The revitalisation of Ajaokuta Steel Mills, if fully functional, it can serve Nigeria and West Africa,

2). Assisting Kebbi and Ebonyi states in rice plantations, it's on the record that Nigeria spent over 1 trillion naira on food imports in 2015 alone of which you and I know the percentage rice is gonna carry,

3) Reviving the moribund textile industry, why should Nigeria still import clothing materials?

4) Carrying out massive reforms on the Nigerian education system, studying abroad is one of the factors placing strain on the dollars, Nigeria loses billions of dollars to UK, US India, South Africa and even Ghana and Benin Republic,

5) Nigerians love cars, Innoson Motors needs to have plants in Lagos and Kano as well as engage in aggressive advertisements, else it would be still be seen as an eastern, not Nigerian car

6) Lend all support to Dangote as regards his refinery, refining oil in Nigeria will ease the burden on the naira in no small way.

7) Work harder on power generation.

Why does Emefiele of a guy still have a job? For you to be the head of the apex bank and end up engineering stagflation, which he alluded to, shows he doesn't really have the answers. So what problem is he going to solve? grin

Anyway, those of us who saw the handwriting on the wall, with the idiotic floating policy implemented, know what time it's. This is just the beginning - by the time the whole economy finally gets flushed down the toilet and to a stage, where it might take two decades to recover - perhaps they'll do the right thing.

And where are the half-baked voodoo economists and their economic theories? grin

When it's said and done, it won't be recession - it would be quintuple-dip recession with your mouths wide open.

I don't know how this Adeosun woman dey think. Or is it buhari's fault? When an economy is on the verge of a recession, you don't cut spending, you don't implement monetary policies that would take money out of the hands of the masses. Look at Great Britain, Cameron and Osbourne thought austerity was the way out of a recession, look how it turned out for them and the UK. Other countries that tried the austerity playbook are: Greece, Spain, Italy. And Buhari and Adeosun thought "hey, let's join that club". When you are that close to a recession. Debt means nothing, check the top 20 countries with the highest debt. What you do is borrow to prop up the economy. It's what Obama did to bring the US From the brink. But Mr. Buhari thinks otherwise. That why when people insult him I don't care. He has made a bunch of Ill-advised decisions since comin into office. He keeps on proving he is surrounded by morons.

@bold, exactly.

First of all the people who will be in charge of the money are those related to the people in power. Nepotism and tribalism is the order of the day.

banmee:
No one on that list can help Nigeria's case because of one very important reason; They are Nigerians. Nigerians don't have the mentality for progress, oneness, goals, and meeting objectives. Unless of course if it is corruption, they are all up for it. When the last recession hit America, they all agreed that they phucked up by being greedy, fat and lazy. They decided to do something about it so they could get out of the doldrums they were in. First thing was they injected 800 billion into the economy by bailing out banks. Think about it; if it were Nigeria, do you think that 800 billion dollars will reach it's intended destination? Everyone would be salivating on how they would "share the cake". Americans dug in deep, did what they were supposed to, and clawed their way out of it. It can't happen in Nigeria because people don't just understand that the responsibility for greatness rests with each and every one of them. But yet they are there blaming everyone including God. Some Americans took salary cuts, higher taxes etc, but they understood that it was for a goal. Nigerians are busy burning people on the streets, littering, bribing, etc, and thereby creating more chaos. The funny thing is, Nigerians want to be great, but don't want to do the things that make other countries great. I wonder how this makes sense to you all? Smh.

Every one was affected with varying severity and complexity depending on exposures, I know several SME owners who lost their businesses, several mid- level managers who lost their good paying jobs, Higher level executives in the public sector who had to take paycuts, and emergency service workers(police, fire service, etc)

The recession was no play thing or by the way issue

Nigerians go suffer

You just exposed yourself to be an illiterate, you probably spend your days on the street corner reading newspapers, while taking little time to ponder on the issues at hand.

Nigeria was headed into a recession a long time before Buhari took office, the results of several decades of poor governance, lack of direction , severe corruption and despicable leadership. The only consequence Buhari actions or In actions has affected is the immediate severity of the recession, it's interaction with public life and the process of recovery.

The only thing that could have saved us from recession was a bad IMF deal and i'm glad we did not take it, it would have put our grandchildren in penury and subjection for another lifetime

austerity does not affect the poor you dunce but the middle class, the bulk tax contributors and those responsible for the vast amount of commercial transactions. The poor in UK etc have always been dependent on social policies and are so at the mercy of the state.

Stop this narrative of importing more than we export. We have always had trade surpluses. In manufacturing, you have to choose where u rank in terms of comparative or absolute advantage. For example, cost of producing crude oil is 3x higher in Naija than in Saudi, so if u choose to go into petroleum production with Saudi competing for the same customers you aren't going to make it.
Mauritius doesn't grow cotton, but it makes better quality and cheaper clothing than other African countries that grow cotton.
Now, there is no way we can produce anything without power. A country generating 0.0MW doesn't have any business telling people to go into manufacturing.
Apple manufactures all its products in China, but still maintains its largest workforce of sbout 40k in the US and it contributes over $700 to the US economy.
Re: 7 Nigerians Who Can Upturn IMF's Depressing GDP Forecast by Nobody: 1:45am On Jul 21, 2016
The reasons for IMF predictions are these. To avoid the predictions, these must return to their status pre-dullard era


1. NDA
NDA is a product of buharis useless nepotism and they are the major reason our economy is contracting as oil incomes have reduced drastically


2. TSA
Buhari implementation of the TSA stifled liquidity and created a never before experienced cash flow probl3ms in the banks

3. FOREX POLICY
Investors are wary of people who protect their currency with government policies. It means a very risky gamble as they might loose their investments if the are not fast enough

4. GENERAL SENSE OF UNEASE
Buhari body language is driving away both good and bad investors. Even Nigerian businessman are not doing high risk high return businesses now. Everyone is buying land and building house

5. EFCC & DSS
No matter how genuine ur business is, there must be some grey areas. Everyone is being careful now to avoid stories that touch. This is killing investments


6.OIL PRICE
This is the only factor that is not a direct consequence of the dullard in chief

Others include

7. INCOMPETENT ECONOMIC TEAM
8. Certified hard heartedness of dullard in chief
9. Security issues everywhere
10. Certificateless ab0kis everywhere heading industries they don't know jack about


For those blaming corruption please continue. I hope you can buy food with excuses because thats is what ur god is paying you with
