Eniitankorede:
Completely ignorant assessment. We have been living on borrowed future. There was no more money to fund a subsidy scam that benefitted the rich importers most. Most of our oil was being diverted to foreign countries . We borrowed more money to fund a subsidy to the extent the economy was bankrupt. How can that continue without the total destruction of the economy. You need to understand basic economics beforw you start talking.
I am trained economist and you are telling me to understand basic economics? Can you ever understand economics at that level I do?

Enough of this nonsense talk of living on borrowed future that you ApC spin doctors have crafted ..

Jonathan living on borrowed future:

GDP - $540bn

Inflation - single digit

Exchange rate - 160 Naira

Debt - 8.9 trillion Naira

Fuel price- 87 Naira

Subsidy payment: $8bn annually

Economic growth: 5%

GDP per Capita - $2900

Now let's look at the data under the Tinubu govt that's not living on borrowed future:

GDP - $200bn

Inflation - triple digit

Exchange rate - 1600 Naira

Debt - 121 trillion Naira

Fuel price- 960 Naira

Subsidy payment: 15 trillion Naira

Economic growth: 2.9%

GDP per Capita: $800


If in the face of real data you don't know that the current govt is the one living on borrowed future then I don't know what to do.

I have never predicted anything wrong before and I can assure this govt is see will not achieve anything in 8 years , if Tinubu is able to get the nIgerian GDP per Capita to 1500 dollars it will be a miracle .. you guys are empty.

Can you tell me how sensible your statement is? Remember that the importing cabal were the ones benefiting from the subsidy.
The entire Nigeria economy was benefiting from the fuel subsidy not just importers and you can clearly see how half our GDP was wiped out within months of it's removal and every Nigerian became significantly poorer .

Today only the importers are benefiting as they as selling you cheap flex Petro at outrageous price and you can see that reflecting in the sudden stupendous growth of some of them

How u guys believe subsidy has been removed even with clear evidence it hasn't us surprising to me

We are not really smart in this country ooh
Check all my previous post , I was the first to call out the Tinubu govt for still paying subsidy....You should know when we say fuel subsidy removal we mean the reckless hike in Petro prices by the Tinubu administration for the benefit of his interest in the downstream sector . On paper the govt claims they have removed subsidy just like Buhari lied for years .
PoliticsRe: Nigeria’s GDP Per Capita By Successive Governments 1999 - 2027 by SalamRushdie: 5:58am On Feb 09, 2025
casualobserver:
I have already said this many times, But let me indulge you but this will be my last post in this e
Obasanjo inherited an economy where oil price was $15 a barrel on the day of his inauguration, it steadily rose to end the year 1999 at $25 a barrel. So in his first 6 months in office he was fortunate through no action of his own to see more than a 60% rise in oil revenues.
2: by the time he left office in 2007 oil continued that steady rise throughout hiis administration Such that by the time he left office, oil was $67 a barrel more than 300% increase.

No president since 1999 has been so lucky to preside over a 300% increase in oil revenues consistent throughout his tenure. Therefore there was corresponding growth as a result.

Buhari on the other hand inherited an economy with crude oil at $64 (pic 3) on May 2015 and it went steadily downwards from there. Don’t forget prior to his assumption of office Oil had been $100+ and has been falling. Our economic fortunes were already plummeting under Jonathan. The resulting downturn was what led to Buhari’s victory in the 1st place. To compound matters for Buhari, our production fell from
2.3m to 1m by the time he left office in 2023. As at the time Buhari left office, the price of crude was $75. Not only was the price lower than his predecessor GEJ but the amount available to sell was half.

Any economy is always a comparison with the past. OBJ presided over an economy for 8 years where the price was double triple or quadruple of what Babangida or Abacha ever saw for 15 years. So without doing anything or any sound economic policies, providence blessed him with a buoyant economy and he didn’t do anything with the money except pay off some of our loans. Banagida built a new city Abuja, 3rd mainland bridge, shiroro dam with a lower price of crude. They were in power for the same number of years.

Since we judge economic growth based on where the economy was before, The benchmark for Buhari was an economy where oil was $100 under Jonathan so his timing was cursed and he was always going to struggle. His economy was never going to be good. That said as a poor economic manager, he didn’t help himself either in many ways.

You may find some telling you oil price went to $100 under Buhari. They are just being mischievous. While it is true, it was very brief and like I said we were producing half the oil as under Jonathan or Obasanjo.

Since you are only interested in comparing Buhari to OBJ. The summary is under OBJ, our oil Income was an average of 300% of what he met, while under Buhari, the oil revenue he had throughout his tenure was less than his predecessor. As price of oil goes so goes the Nigerian economy because we import everything!

Now that they want to rebase the economy and add money earned from harlotry and armed robbery to GDP, Tinubu wil do his abracadabra with the Statistician General of the Federation to increase Nigeria's GDP to $1 trillion and GDP per capita to $5,000.
