Sai baba!

Those of us who supports this government believe there's a genuine effort to get this country working and rescue it from the path of destruction and collapse it has been set for 16 years. Only those who benefit from the flaw and failure of the system are calling for a return to the old order.


I do not believe at this point that there's that leadership driven by honesty that I can dream of that's more than the one being headed by Buhari.


May God bless him and his entire team.

Nigeria's population growth rate is estimated at 2.6%. An economic growth rate of 2.38% does not even meet up with the population growth rate which simply means Nigerians are getting poorer.

From 1999- 2013 the economy grew by 6% annually which led to a doubling of the GDP during that time.

The country needs to grow by at least 7% to create enough jobs to cater to those entering newly into the labour force annually.

You are just saying what you don't know. CBN said 60% of the Investment came from him, they only helped him with 40%. You don't even know anything about Economy, Someone would start a Project like that and he is not going to invest much of his Own Money? at least he must be ready to supply 50% of the Capital, so he supplied 60% of the Capital.

You are talking to the wrong person.

You people are so uninformed. Everything is CBN. All you people know is not more than the CBN, that's why you think everyone who is successful must have stolen money from the CBN while only rich people can eat rice.

In real life, things don't follow the 50/50 ratio they taught you in your 100 level. They probably taught you that to help you with the background. Things are more sophisticated than that out there.

Sai Baba. Despite earning 60% less than Jonathan due to fall in the price of crude oil from 110 dollars per barrel under Jonathan to a paltry 50 dollars under APC administration yet Buhari has done much more. Baba 2much projects, na next level we dey go jare. God bless Buhari.





Jonathan sank us into recession by looting us dry during the time of plentiful.

Despite Buhari administration earning 60% less yet he's come up with plenty projects such as

Our railways at itakpewarri, Lagos-ibadan, kaduna-abuja etc,

The production of low cost fertilizers,

Zik maoseleum

Baro inland port,

Rice mills,

Foreign reserve increase from #26b to #43b,

Construction of our express highways such as enuguonitsha, Lagos-ibadan etc.

Social policy schemes such as tradermoni, npower etc

And most especially, stabilizing us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari coupled with the fall in the price of crude oil from #110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry #50 per barrel under Buhari administration yet Buhari was able to keep us afloat while having many projects to his name thereby surprising Ngozi Iweala and Charles Soludo who predicted recession because jonathan failed to save during the time of plentiful.

Sai Baba. PDP, Neva again.


Jonathan sank us into recession by looting us dry during the time of plentiful.

You stated the above. Who told you so?

That is a constantly reoccurring myth that is not backed up by facts

The nation's economy collapsed due to the exchange control policies Buhari introduced upon assumption of office which led to severe forex scarcity that deprived companies of dollars to import raw materials and other goods which led to them closing down and massive layoffs followed. This had a torpedo effect on other parts of the economy and before long, the economy was in the grip of a severe recession that lasted 6 quarters. It was only when there was a partial reversion of the policy that brought about an improvement in forex supply and the mild economic recovery the country is presently experiencing

If Buhari had simply maintained the policies he had inherited, I doubt there would have been a recession. Perhaps at worst a slowdown followed by a recovery. Economic growth however would only be between 4-5% but still better than the 1.81% it recorded last year. That did not even meet the population growth rate of 2.6% meaning Nigerians grew poorer and per Capita income fell.

Jonathan was fiscally reckless and there was lots of corruption under his watch. To however blame him for the severe recession that followed will be a stretch. The bucks stops at Buhari's door.

I quite do not agree with you. That was not a real growth. That growth was tied to one commodity and it was bound to shrink like the government of that time projected it would. Didn't the growth shrink before they left office? We are building infrastructure that will bring the real growth, it doesn't happen overnight.

Don't mind those people, they are very poor at addition and subtraction. They do not realise that when you continue to deduct 2 from 7, after 4 deductions , you will end up in negative growth. Some of them do not even know what it means for an economy to go into recession.. Pardon their ignorance please.

Econimic predictions are never 100% accurate. A recession could have been awarded .

Give Buhari America's economy and he'll ruin it. The man's principled nature is respected but his economics no be am. The economist magazine said another 4 years will be a disaster for the economy. So true!

Will you just shut up? I would rather stick to the opinions of renowned Economist than your nonsense. See stupid comment to undermine the prediction of renowned Economist. We were already even borrowing under Jonathan despite the price of crude oil only falling at 10% unlike the 60% fall in the price of oil we had under Buhari yet Buhari has done much more than Jonathan.

What is a Capital Project
A capital project is a long-term, capital-intensive investment project with a purpose to build upon, add to, or improve a capital asset. Capital projects are defined by their large scale and large cost relative to other investments that involve less planning and resources.

BREAKING DOWN Capital Project
A capital project is one in which the cost of the product is capitalized or depreciated. The most common examples of capital projects are infrastructure projects such as railways, roads, and dams. In addition, these projects include assets such as subways, pipelines, refineries, power plants, land, and buildings.

Simply borrowing MORE to overcome less earnings isn’t exactly fiscal magic.

Our debt has grown so rapidly over the past 3 years, that the FG now uses about 66 kobo of every Naira that it earns to service debt. In fact, we are now borrowing to service our borrowing - in effect, merely kicking the can down the road for future administrations/generations. SMH

While a recession was virtually INEVITABLE in the midst of the global financial crisis and the so-called Great Recession that followed in its wake and which affected every part of the world (and frankly EVERY country to differing degrees), regardless of what Jonathan did (which although it might have mitigated its effects was unlikely to have prevented an economic slide because the Nigerian economy does not operate in isolation of global events), Buhari’s inertia and apparent economic illiteracy WORSENED and amplified the recession for Nigeria.

First, it took Sai Baba six months simply to constitute an economic team (as part of a cabinet), and then his initially backward foreign exchange policies led to a catastrophic crash in exchange rates (down to as low as N520/$1) in a primarily import-dependent economy (where machinery, equipment and even essential raw materials are imported, as well as stupidly fuel to drive the economy), and scared away scores of foreign investment and attendant foreign currency inflows that would have stabilized the currency and given Nigeria a fighting chance against recession. Ultimately, it was not until April 2017 when the CBN introduced the more liberal IE (Investors and Exporters) forex window that the Naira stabilized and the economy subsequently started growing again (albeit anemic) after 2 years of locust caused by economic illiteracy/incompetence.
