Davash222:
Same Idea Atiku proposed and y'all almost crucified him.
Hypocrites!! Dullards!! Fools!!

Not the same. Atiku wanted to sell NNPC and NLNG to himself and friends. FG is not selling NNPC and NLNG to anybody.

Beside, privatization is an ongoing thing in Nigeria. That is why we have the national council on privatization chaired by the Vice President and the Bureau of Public Enterprises. Selling of public assets did not start with Atiku.

They should also sell all the refineries. Government has no business being in business. Business should be left for the private sector while the government carries out regulatory functions.

They've been laying off minimum wage government workers, so as to keep paying the few people at the top.

The USA is the size of West Africa.
Nigerian Parliament has 469 voting members - 360 in House of reps, 109 Senators.
USA Congress has 535 voting members - 435 in House of reps, 100 Senators.

Why does Nigeria have so many representatives? Merge many of the representatives, and let them represent bigger constituents. That would reduce the cost of governance to even one-third of what it is now.

Reference:
That was why when it came up in the course of the Presidential elections that was the time for Nigerians to debate the merits or otherwise in a civil, cerebral manner so that by shaping our economic blueprint whoever was elected will have a mandate to take our economy into a new direction, one that creates efficiency by privatisation.

But no, immediately it was suggested they turned it into propaganda and with their noisy press shouted down the idea with lies, false narratives, subterfuge, blackmail and intimidation. See where we are today.

There is no democratic goverment that will not receive hard knocks for going back to its political vomit. They are just lucky that multiparty opposition is dead in Nigeria or has been exterminated by their feudal practices.

But to the ordinary citizen I will say this. Can you see how the black man fails in most things. When we cannot put aside sentiment to reason the substance of every matter under debate, the result will be that we will take action without knowledge and preparation.

When we say restructure they shout you down then do it out of expediency in a wishy washy manner and obviously fail. When we say decentralise the police they say no then seek regional police un a wishy washy manner. When we say privatise, deregulate, many other things they first look at where their principals stand then herd after it mindlessly.

They now want to sell assets by themselves, without debate, without scrutiny, in the middle of a crises which we know can never attract proper value and without accountability because we are in a defacto wartime period.

See.the mess Nigerians cause for themselves because of sentiment.

MansoryMX:
I thought Nairalanders are smart people, the e-warriors, the iPod, afonja and almajiris nairaland warriors who thinks high of themselves behind their phones and type nonsense in all thread to think they are smart. Y’all bunch of fools if non of you know by now Nigeria has crash landed like a Boeing757 plane. Maybe y’all waiting for IMD to declare Nigeria bankrupt before una go wake up and burn down Aso rock and all the evil entities in it.

Blue3k:
They been saying this since 2016. What have they sold off so far? Nigeria issues are being overly dependent on oil revenue revenue and most of the budget going to recurrence expenditures. They need to cut down government and raise tax revenue. That's the permanent solution.

Seedung:
There are a lot of assets that has been seized by the FG over time from corrupt individuals, this is the right time to auction them out and use the money judiciously.
