In Saudi Arabia their foreign reserve is over $700. They also not lacking infrastructural deficit like Nigeria. Their population is less than 50 million. They also have other source income such pilgrimage which represents tourism. Level of corruption is fantastically low.

Baba, please drop the long talk. We know why Nigerians are suffering, and it is mostly because of you:

- you took so long to take any decisions when you first came in
- then you put in place a team of ministers that leave a lot to be desired
- you spent time blaming the previous government instead of planning
- you started hunting down opponents in the name of "corruption"
- you made economic decisions that don't make sense in a modern economy
- you tightened money supply,
- your economic team flip-flops every two weeks on schedule
- your government bans suddenly without any notice, schedule or explanation
- your government misprioritizes gov't spending

With all due respect, Baba, we are not convinced that you and your team are the best to lead us through these trying times. This is the position you wanted for 3 elections, please stop making excuses and make the country great.

It's cheap because u feel it is not because it is,
Oil account for over 80 percent of our revenue over the years. Do you know how the budget works, the budget works on expected income of everything goes well, oil revenue being the major source, major source is down, the economy is down, simple. You don't want to accept this reason because it takes the blame off the president.

No money was budgetd for the oil exploration, and Swiss plan to return $320M which is just 100 billion naira, FG shared 600 billion in the month of join.
Put everything you think we have saved, are they upto 1 trillion naira, Nigeria government will spend 1 trillion naira in 2 month, what next. We go back to oil,
Anyway, lets hope things better, reality is, the country is in mess.

It is a cheap excuse. Our leaders— well most of them— have the habit of excuses, partly because they are mediocre, visionless individuals. This is known and pronounced. What is possibly not yet in mainstream discourse is the fact that the followers act as enablers of this mediocrity.

In 2010 Ivory Coast was immersed in a quasi-civil war due to problems in their elections, tens of thousands of refugees fled and the UN/AU had to send in peacekeepers. Alassane Ouattara, the IMF economist eventually became President. He had a vision of transforming Ivory Coast into an agricultural hub focusing on pineapple. Today, Ivory Coast has a 1% inflation rate; recorded a 9.8% GDP growth rate recently and has the fastest growing GDP in West Africa.

He did not start giving excuses.

Two months ago, the U.K. opted to leave the EU bloc, in a referendum that saw about 51.9% of people opting out. Suddenly the UK had to go through some major transformation leading to the inauguration of a new Prime Minister, the Oxford trained Theresa May. As a result of the referendum, the British economy took a huge hit and areas like Scotland were opting out. She immediately went out to forming a new cabinet the night of her inauguration, reached out to Scotland and Northern Ireland, and reached out to the EU and big players like Germany. Today, while the UK economy is still reeling from BREXIT, the trouble in the markets have calm down— seemingly— as opposed to June 24th, the day after the referendum.


Two different leaders. African and European. No excuses given. Just work and results. And they don't have two heads.

Buhari and Nigeria has no excuse, Sir. None at all. Unless you want to argue that Nigerians are, by creation, mentally lesser human beings.

Stop the excuses. The problem with Buhari is that he is visionless. And the APC, visionless. We should not be afraid to say this. No one will slap us for speaking the truth.

“It has been a very difficult year for Nigeria. Before we came to office, petroleum sold for about $100 per barrel.
Then it crashed to $37, and now oscillates between $40 and $45 per barrel. Suddenly, we’re a poor country, but commitment to transparency and accountability is not making people know that there is severe shortage,” Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted the President as saying.

Hmm

Even if you are being fooled, must you fool yourselves?
Dear Wadata plaza bingo, read, learn and please shut up.
"SOUTH AFRICA AND NIGERIA, WHICH SHOULD BE THE LARGEST ECONOMY?
As Nigerians, we know about Nigeria while we have little information about South Africa.
1. Daimler, Toyota, BMW, Ford, Arvin Exhust, Corning, Bloxwitch have production plants in South Africa.
2. South Africa manufactures Electronics, Computer Hardwares.
3. South Africa manufactures Military Hardwares and Aircrafts.
4. South Africa manufactures choice wines and spirits with Nigeria as its biggest market in Africa. Next time, before you drink that Wine, look at the label. It will 60% be 'A product of South Africa'
5. South Africa boasts of world class Textile Industries.
6. South Africa manufactures, refurbishes and repairs Ships.
7. South Africa has the largest mining and solid mineral sector in Africa.
What do we produce or manufacture in Nigeria?
The GDP was rebased and we placed ourselves as the largest Economy in Africa without growth in the real sector of the Economy.
We used administrative controls to peg the value of our Currency for years without Fundamentals to back it up.
The administrative controls are removed, the wind blew and our behinds are exposed.
South African Rand is growing in value because of growth in the real sector of the Economy while the value of the Naira plummets because our economic mainstay is in the wilderness and militancy is holding us at the jugular.
We export Crude Oil and import petroleum products. We export raw Cocoa and import chocolate bars and processed Cocoa for packaging by the Nestle of this world. A total drain on our Dollar earnings.
I ask again, what do we produce?
Even if you are being fooled, must you fool yourselves?"
Credits~ Dare Taiwo.
My take: when their heroes were busy enriching themselves selfishly they lacked understanding. Now they ignorantly blame the one who is bent on reviving all our moribund sectors so that soon we would truly be great and match any nation. Well ignorance is free, so is stupidity.

Dear brother, I know the actions of our leaders past destroyed our development as a country, it is just that I already know what he would say. I am not denying what he says just that the music has been played over and over and over and over and over and over again. So I already know what to expect when this type of talk comes up. So.... time to start working for the betterment of Nigeria and leave the long story in the past. Tell me, if gej had won, would naija have been like this or maintained it's past standard?
if GEJ had won, Nigeria will be by far worse off. These are difficult times, but i dont blame it all on Buhari. Buhari may not be perfect, but compared to the thieving politicians that litter Nigeria's political landscape, i think he is a saint. I will vote him anytime.
