Jowonloju:If you know what some of us know, you'll almost cry for Nigeria. Is the rice productions a FG initiative? Why is the FG bragging of what state governors did? Can Nigeria become the largest producer of Rice? YES! Are we systematically working towards it? NO! I am just so sorry for us as a Nation! |

AnanseK: ^^^ No, that's not good enough. Wishing upon a star won't cut it. Nigeria is a heavily import dependent economy with oil as the main export earner. We have been running budget deficits at all levels of government for over half a century. Since our governments don't earn enough to cover their expenses, they borrow heavily from multilateral creditors - piling up debts that those unborn will have to pay. In our budgets, recurrent expenditure has routinely exceeded capital expenditure for the past half century - so instead of building schools, hospitals and roads, we pay to sustain the lifestyles of our presidents, governors and lawmakers. I could go on and on. This is not the stuff prosperity is made of. 1 Like |

babaolofin: I did not support this administration initially because to me,the president was a little stubborn and would not allow the economic team to perform appropriately,so we heard and read but when we exited recession faster than I expected,I knew we have topnotch economic team. I believe things were bad when this govt came in and it is surely getting better now. Rice is now 13-14 naira in Lagos,down from 20,000 naira and prices of some food items have come down.I do not really like Buhari because of his hyper nepotism but I will vote for him severally over an Atiku anytime,anyday.Integrity matters a lot to me. I will support him with prayers and spiritually and he will be successful.Isha Allah. No wailing zombie should quote me,pls. 2 Likes |

Both in absolute and per capita terms, Nigeria’s GDP has been in sharp decline for the best part of four years, and in the past year it has again fallen behind South Africa as the continent’s largest economy. With A GDP Of $1.121 Trillion, Nigeria Overtakes South Africa As Africa's Biggest Economy The drive-by journalist, this clown said we fell behind SA when in fact SA fell behind Nigeria. Our economy is fast expanding with 1.9 per cent GDP increase We are fully out of recession so what is this drive-by joker talking about. We are good and doing just fine. Back to sender. 1 Like |

No looted funds is stored in Japan or Gremany but are the 3rd and 4th largest economies in the world. The budget of New York City is triple Nigeria's budget.

theoldpretender: USA has been running Social Security since 1930's , there is no serous discussions about ending it despite the $17 trillion debt of the country. Many Western countries started their even earlier, they know the importance. Nigerian government has started within what they can sustain, yet the privileged are the ones crying the most. Why has the IMF not advised European countries having economic crisis over the past 100 years to cancel their own welfare programs? Why should no poor person in Africa have support or help while whites that are richer have? Why should the few rich have access to so much via contracts and connections while nothing is offered to poor? 2 Likes |

Ovamboland: No sensible country puts social spending/welfare over investments in basic education. If you read the article, you would have seen that attainment of a percentage of a population being educated is a metric used to measure the development prospects. In Nigeria, the government focuses on helping the poor. In these countries, the governments seek to invest in the poor so as to be able to tax them in the future. I really like Buhari as a person so please do not take this comment personally. Buhari invest in his cattle because he sees them as his wealth. Our leaders need to see the Nigerian population as their wealth and not problems. 1 Like |

wirinet: Dale Carnegie said you can never win an argument. Both of us have entrenched views. Buhari fixed the exchange rate at a price the CBN could not defend which meant it was overvalued. That means a devaluation was necessary His refusal to devalue led to a massive disparity between the official and black market rate when the CBN could not satisfy demand. It was so bad that our Letters of Credits became worthless and Naira debit cards were unable to be used for online payments. Utomi, Soludo and Sanusi all championed for a devaluation but Buhari disagreed saying he does not know anywhere in the world that it has helped. The height economic nonsense. If Norway, the most prudent manager of it's oil wealth in the world could see it's currency lose 27% of it's value, we would be kidding ourselves to say the Naira did not need devaluation. 2 Likes |

grandstar: I dont think there is a way the recession could have been avoided. Its high time we understood that dollars control our economy. As at the time Jonathan left our forex has been depleted to $28billion and oil price too started to decline. So in this case we need forex to defend naira. Even Iweala saw it coming and her team were putting measures in place to fight it. The measures Buhari adopted looks manual (preventing massive exit of dollars while the forex grows) but it worked at the end of the day. The forex is over $40billion now. About structural reform... fixing of our refinery and diversifying the more will increase the growth rate 2 Likes |

wirinet: Corruption of course is the main problem. But for many companies , Infrastructure is a key issue that hinders investment and development. Key Infrastructure we need to rebuild are roads, railways, power , telecommunications, citadels of education and research centres. As I said, I spoke to a Senior Manager of Amazon Web Services in the UK and he mentioned poor infrastructure as one of the key reasons why there is no presence in Nigeria. For example, they offer customers a service level agreement for performance and availability , and ensure that this is maintained across all regions hosting their data centres; this gives their customers the confidence that the same quality of service will be experienced by their own customers at a global level. With poor infrastructure this can be a problem especially within the African region. 1 Like |

Herdsmen: People who fully support this government do so because they have been hoodwinked by Buhari's principled and incorruptible character. Therefore anything he does is good. If things are not going well, it's because people are impatient. That was the primary reason the Northerners voted for him enmasse. That's also why people like Festus Keyamo and Itse Sagay support him. His infrastructure works have helped the hoodwinking. The next 4years will be one of poor economic growth rates. I doubt it will exceed 4% yearly over the next 4years compared to the 6% before he ascended office. Between 2015-2018, economy grew at a lamentable 1% on average. The country needs 7% to absorb those entering the labour market for the first time 3 Likes 1 Share |

VolvoS60: When the stock market lost N89bn after Buhari's re-election, many Nigerians were quick to break the news. Today, the stock market has gain N112bn, there is no breaking news. Some few months ago, the international community reported that Nigeria has become the poverty headquarter of the world. In excitement, many Nigerians were quick and eager to break the news. This same international community have said the 2019 elections are the most credible and democratic and many Nigerians are not happy and have rejected the commendation. The restructuring we preach must start from our minds. Why will you be happy when something bad happens in your country? Why do you reject or despise any good thing about your country? In the last one week, Nigeria has made positive news: we are now the highest rice producer in Africa, the mining sector has recorded 500% increase in revenue, the volume of export have increased by 39%... These are cheering news that have gone almost unnoticed. We must start restructuring our minds on what we want of Nigeria. 4 Likes |
