Interesting article....especially as it shows how many Nigerians hoped that IBB was a different type of leader. Unfortunately....IBB turned out to be the opposite of what Nigeria wanted.(SAP, Austerity, Devaluation, Deficits, etc...and the Gulf OIL windfall that flew away....)

Buhari may have been a dictator...but he never told Nigerians that he would hand over to a democratically elected government....and then fail to keep his promise.

if you care to know, ibbs policies are still Nigeria's best till date, and recent Nigerian govts are still based on those blue prints. The problem was full implementation .
Buhari on the other has always come out with disastrous policies, which every technocrat glaringly points out its negativity but the dummy implements and plunges us into disaster. Its better to maintain status quo than destroy

scaramenga:
if it was jonathan he will be like
"lets not ban open grazing instead lets give the fulani herdsmen amnesty cause they are our brothers

biko haram was given amnesty . you hypocrites

So ppl blve this nonsense joke?!! No wonder buhari won an election in Nigeria.

500 million naira !!!! Lol.

Reference:
Mechanised production. They already know the basics and have been making handcrafted shoes for decades.

who taught the Chinese ? Or they're superior? And well if no SINGLE NIGERIAN WITH OUR OVER 75 engineering schools in our federal UNIS can't undertake or provide such NUCLEAR engineering projects, then we should be keeping such news a secret. Its dimply s gigantic shameful fit.

GavelSlam:
Nothing wrong with knowing how those who have evidently become more successful at a task than you achieve it.

then this news should be top secret not a propagandist move. We should be denying it ever happened.jeeeeez

Will the black race ever know the true meaning of shame or were incapable of feeling ashamed?
Why in Allah's name do we have to go to China to learn how to make shoes? Do these Chinese ppl have superior brains to us? Can't we develop our shoe tech by ourselves...or well start making shoes that's based on Chinese terrain?!!! What kind of race are we?!!!!!!!

Slow poke. Whose descendants are they from?You need orientation..why did they refuse to seed Jerusalem. Because they said it belongs to their fathers 3000 years ago.

do u really know what the definition of a Jew is?!!! Not all Jews were are from the middle east pls. Read up.

onadana:
Israel see themselves more superior than any one.So racist. They crucified Christ and still persecute Christians till this day.

Another useless writing. The Israel u read in the bible is very different from these ones. These ones are mostly European of polish, Hungarian, western Europe descent. Who left Europe after the trauma of the Holocaust in 1948. So stop talking crap

nairavsdollars:
But the South East claim they have Oriental oil. Why cant they just build a refinery and sell oil at the price they want?

by law all refined PMC must go to nnpc for distribution..same in power sector thts why no magic will work on those sectors until govt totally deregulates

SHAKED HER KE?!!!! pls go back to primary one abeg.

naijaboy756:
who takes u co-dullards serious anymore？ recessionists

loooooooooooooooooolllllllll.

Sammy07:
An elite like you (that's if you are one). Should cover your eyes in shame.
In fact am still wondering why those who said they were educated ain't educated at all.
All you know is money should be flowing, Price of things should reduced.
But you didn't know the measures that will be used to make that happens.


Every year, government prepares the statement of account for the year.
People like you all what you want to be hearing is Government should be making profits..

There are some things to be checked apart from the profits been made.

Every year governments prepares Budget.
Whenever you see Billions & Trillions of Money, y'all be shouting.


But the terms
Recurrent Expenditure
Capital Expenditure.
You don't bother to check the meaning.

She for you

Check this reasonable comment below



Amen God bless you Bro.
Your comment is well noted.

what kind of lousy logic do you pmb supporters apply?!!!!! OK if you had a company and you employ a CEO and he fails to make profit blaming the past CEO would you still keep him?!!! Now let's look at this useless govt spending. Statistics had shown this useless govt increased recurrent expenditure by 100%, pulled out funds from the private sector(banks via TSA), and gave the money to state govts as bailout funds,etc the list of idiotic policy blunders is so epic. Production has been grounded to almost zero, removed fuel subsidy (which he swore NVR existed in 2012), and fuel sold at 147/145 only to turn around and still tell us there's still N40 subsidy. Internationally the beast is a joke, goes to UN summit and became the president of Palestine , didn't mention one sentence concerning the nation he represents, the animak journeyed to Iran, to appeal to them, not to up their oil production( when US lifted the sanctions on them), so oil prices remain stable. Iran didn't even bother replying the fool. The frog prefers to align with useless poor irrelevant Islamic nations ie Jordan, Palestine, nations that have NVR contributed to our economy. His first executive action as president was to go battling the highest employers of labour and fdis eg slammed Mtn with billion dollar fines and made it very public, sending a message to intending fdis around the world that nigeria is a no go area. is it shocking etisalat has pulled out and various airlines have crashed?!! The fool even went and marketed us as criminals,telling the world not to do biz with Nigerians. Were simply corrupt....The animal hoarded dollars (even with all the warnings from technocrats that our economy is import driven for now and a recession was imminent)just for us to hear dangote refinery was given priority as the only coy in Nigeria with special allocation of FG dollars .....till today no single foundation has been laid for the phantom refinery...do I need to continue......I asked for one single policy, none of you has bee able to mention ONE.

7lives:
The ONLY reason why Buhari is hated is because of his FRUGAL economic approach.
If Buhari makes it back in 2019, our RESERVE should be hitting close 75- 85 billion dollars by 2023.
The future is bright provided the people are ready to be patient.
The majority of the civil servants of Lagos state, who were living large today, were virtually living from hand to mouth because Obj withheld the Lagos state federal allocation for good two years.
If it doesn't kill us, it will only make us stronger, the bitter politics played by OBJ then, was the REASON for the IDEAS that made Lagos what it is today.
TINUBU could NOT have succeed WITHOUT the PERSEVERANCE of the people of Lagos state.
It's been very tough no doubt, God will help us.

you guys shaaaaa.....anyways Lagos state from time immemorial esp after the civil war has been advantaged. Ie the federal assets domiciled ONLY on Lagos makes it successful even with terrible leadership ie ppl must import. Would Ogun be able to survive a withhold of funds by the fg. I'm sure Never.

Sammy07:
What policy.?

You think if GEJ is in power now.
Nigeria won't have been sold?

The hardships, and pains Nigerians are currently passing through now.

In the Future, we'll all come back and thank PMB..

If not PMB, who wants to go into Agriculture?

I asked for a single policy, you can't even produce one. The agriculture you spoke about, was a Gej policy ie the cassava initiative etc. Name one policy by this useless govt

Sammy07:
Am an Economics student

PMB is better Manager of Resources ...

There things that PMB is doing, it will definitely reflect in the future...

If PMB is voted for 2nd Term. The rate at which economy growth of Nigerian will boost will be overwhelming

economist pls name one single good policy ......the house is waiting. .

usba:
God bless you, in Jonathan's 6 locoust years he contributed only $1 billion to the sovereign wealth fund despite having oil prices as high as $145, yet in PMB less than 3 years of ruling he has contributed $500M to the same fund with oil prices as low as $28.

you liars have forgotten our major buyer the U.S under Barack Obama stopped purchasing Nigeria's crude, thus whether it sold at $145 was inconsequential with no sales....... They resumed under buhari. Pls some of us are well informed. GEJ was zillions of miles better than this Dullard.

And finally they bring back subsidy .......Thunder faya everybody that occupied ojotah........EVERYBODY I mean

VERDA:
We are talking about the world at present and you are talking about WW11 and WW1,have you heard the word globalization??,and I am glad you admitted in your write up that they supplied their "ALLIES"....I stand by what I said,the US can not stand alone...can it consume all it produces,don't you know its massive export are one of its greatest strengths?,you must think a country just cuts economic ties just like that,why have they not cut ties with China with all their noise making,China holds the highest % of US debt...so oga history is good in so far as its lessons are used to solve current problems.You should follow current trends better.

so how did china become so powerful? You don't know they shut their gates to the outside world.... Nyways waste of gym

VERDA:
You just confirmed my point,and we wonder why there is so much wickedness in the world,since it does not affect me its not my problem...will the US equally halt trade with almost half of the world??,do you think the US can survive on its own??,even its major allies voted against them so what are you saying??.

oga read history before WWII after WWI us isolated itself, and that's how they were able to help conquer Germany and Japan while supplying the rest of their allies vast resources. If you're one of those that thinks US can't stand by itself you must b a joker .but what will happen to the rest of those nations they invest massively in? Like nigeria

mpowa:
You're the one talking brainlessly...If you're Angry the president voted against your religious agenda, go and take the place of the president and Vote your own...128 countries Voted, only Togo voted with US in Africa, yet Wailers are groaning, if you don't like it Kill yaselves.

Are you a fool? Ddnt u read my reply. Whats my biz with xtianity? You think I give a hoot about a middle eastern religion?...

OK why can't we be non aligned against our biggest customer ?

Ijaya123:
Presidents of Germany, France, England, China, Russia and others must be dumb as well.

Very dumb comment.

what an ediat. See the nations you named, can Nigeria stand the economy of one state in these nations? Are those countries solely dependent on the US for their survival. What an ediat

xreal:
A typical nigerian talking.

Like...who Palestine epp? who Israel sef epp?
Neither of them really accomodates nigerians as such, if not for pilgrimage.

Those nigerian christians that have taken this issue so personal; isn't this the same Jerusalem ?

my position is strictly socioeconomic . what's my biz with xtianity and Jerusalem.

VERDA:
At a deeper level and for the sake of humanity,decisions should be about doing what we think and feel is right irrespective of the repercussions,we bring this same sentiment of not being independent minded to our daily lives and watch people misbehave and inflict injury on others but we keep quiet because of what we are benefiting from them,this is the worst form of non love,really sad....the US reserves the right to choose where they wish their embassy to be just as other countries have a right to their votes in the UN,is it not curious that more than half the world sees the US's decision as an impediment to peace??,the whole world can't be wrong and the US right.

that's not our biz ie Palestinian problem. They wouldn't care about us if we were in their shoes. The most important thing is the cost of tht vote. Which is the risk of losing US support in our economy via buying our oil. Is that what you'd trade for a useless vote of sentiments.

STARKACE:
ignorance is a very bad thing, go find out facts, US is a pest to other countries, the nation with the highest debt in the whole world.

ure the ignorant one. I know for sure the US isn't a pest to Nigeria. They buy the largest quantity of oil which is our lifeline. Brains meeeen

tee4naija:
,


China has since overtaken the US in terms of economic contributions not only in Nigeri
a but in Africa generally.
US withdrawal of her economic support to Nations will make them to sit up and look inwards towards self sustenance and also look for more liberal economic partners .

when US stopped buying our oil on 2014, why didn't China come in to save us? I rmba india was buying our oil on credit then. Abeg think

Caseless:
too many roaches up here.

yea I smell one

mpowa:
If our president is dumb because he didn't stay neutral, so is 127 presidents, including almost all europe; France, England, Germany etc, all Strong allies of the US...So i guess Humpty Drumpty is the only wise one, every other leaders are dumb.

oga use ya brain. Is Nigeria even up to northafrican nations tslkless of those NATO countries you mentioned ?!!! Na wa o

bcashy:
If you actually know better.....you no suppose dey where you dey right now!

where I dey biko?

But couldn't our dumb president stay neutral. What's our biz with Palestine. Us is a major contributor to our economy. Should we be bitng their fingers without a replacement for them?

Does she have D cup boobs?!!

casualobserver1:
And so it begins. Nigeria's slide into irrelevance in ECOWAS is now a matter of time. With Morocco joining, the French will have an even more potent means of dumping thier goods into ECOWAS countries, further stunting growth in the region.

Buhari's parochial nature are to blame for this. I wonder if a lawyer can sue and state that Morocco cannot join due to the geographic position of the country.

not if were able to vote out this dumb president.
