Trumpism:
Based on Nairaland comment, I concluded that PMB and APC would never win any election in Nigeria again, but after the Edo and Ondo governorship race, the party not only won, but it a won landslide victory.

Now, can Buhari and APC really win election in 2019?

No insult please!

Why can't he? If the reserves continue to rise, dollar can crash to as low as N300( black mkt ). Couple this with security, anti-corruption crusade and on-going projects.

mrvitalis:

An average Nigerian earns 1.2 million per year... GDP per capital... Get ur facts right

Please what's your source of this too-good-to-be-true fact? I ask cos that figure averages N100,000/month, a figure you and I know is well above what million of working class Nigerians earn.

The senate should be working to bring down prices of all locally produced goods by providing us with power, roads etc

mrvitalis:
Ayim is to smart for our political class... That's y he made trillions during Jonathan.. Yes i said trillions... We need men like this but those who will use their intelligence for the betterment of Nigeria

Anyim doesn't appear smart enough for me . . . He needs to stop speculating and provide air-tight evidennces against the corrupt chairman of the committee.

Instead of him to go visit the Chairman of the damn committee and secretly videotape him in order to have a solid evidence, he is speculating the motives behind the chairman's message to come see him privately . . . . Anyim must be naive.

mrvitalis:


Really? U have a nation were 90% of wealth is owned by 10% of the population.. How do u redistribute this wealth if not tax..

If we lay an average tax of 200k pay year.. Thats over 30 trillion revenue,.. University will be upgrade, research will be founded, Security will be adequate duo to more founding... Loans can be made available for each graduates that needs it, with focus on exportable commodities... Tell me how else wealth is created

What you wrote here is largely dependent on the productivity of our leaders. Without power, security and a system void of bribes how can the populace be productive enough to pay tax of N200k/per year? The average Nigerian lives his life with what's slightly higher than N200k/annum. We can't pay ~80% tax as things stand.

mrvitalis:
I have said it.. Our problem is the fact that we don't really actually contribute money to the government from our pocket...

[b]Imagine if an average Nigerian pay tax of 200k per year.. And government will tell me rubbish with road and light?? .. Then come and bribe me with 5k to vote u to mismanage my 800k in four years?? Or i will vote my brother who is not qualified over an outsider that i know is better..

True talk.

pressplay411:
Shi just got real.
If she has a case, the company is in deep shi cos with a good lawyer, she don hammer!

The fear of unemployment is the beginning of joining the 2face protest.

Please bro, you seem to know about labour related issues. I have a situation where my employer sacked me under questionable circumstance and has refused to release my letter of sack. They claim I might sue them(learnt this from former colleagues in the system). Please, how would you advice I go about it?

todayboy:
NOW THAT PRICE IS 58$ TELL BUHARI TO BUILD HALF THE SIZE OF DANGOTE FACTORY LETS SEE
if you dont have any sensible to write go and sleep

How old you be bros? In your case, just like romance, age is truly a number . . .

todayboy:
SUMMARISE IT NA

I will prefer to summarise your posts so far in this thread . . . Protes, protest and more protest !!!

paschu:
In a nutshell, three policy blunders destroyed the economy of the nation. And PMB was DIRECTLY responsible for all the three blunders. And, nope, the drop in oil price was not
. . . .
Blah blah blah . . .

Stop typing long epistles . . . Even with $58pb extra earning the economy was already on a declind. Our system of regulating stable dollar rate was largely dependent on govt's ability to supple most of the dollar demand at a fair rate and this was influenced by petrodollar earning as oil price crash meant inadequate dollar supply. Demand and supply law kicked in and we saw a increase in price of a scarce item - Dollar.

todayboy:
for your information all most all country in the world borrows
the ones that buhari is earning now what his he doing with it
stop telling us about the problem you want solution thats why you vote buhari tell him to solve the

you better join the protest on the 6th
the main reason why we are in recession is Buhari delay in setting up his government in time, unguarded statements and selection justice that's why we are where we are today

If truly GEJ managed the economy well and had superior policies, why did the economy drop towards the end of his tenure when the full effect of the extra ~$60pb his govt enjoyed and his good policies should have been in full trottle?



Like I wrote in another thread:

60% of those protesting are doing cos there was a protest against Jo's govt barely 2 years into his tenure. Most people know the diff between $108pb and $50pb.
At about $58 extra per barrel of oil, GEJ govt could have build a dangote-sized refinery and ended our fuel struggle for the next 15 years.

SalamRushdie:
If GEJ had continued there would will be no recession but slow growth because most of the pipeline in the Niger delta would be operating optimally and though oil prices had fallen we would still be able to maximise out , electricity supply would have been better meaning more SME would have been producing ..Most multi national wouldn't have repatriated all the earning out of Nigeria because of Buharis body language which would mean more deposits in our banks , Foriegners investments would still be flowing in and it will stimulate the economy...TSA would have been implemented in stages thereby availing banks with more money to trade with and stimulate the real sector

You presented a valid arguement but exergerated its effect enough to assume a positive impact on the economy. I doubt the uninterrupted flow of oil would have kept the economy out of recession because Jo's govt lack a spending valve. He spent and borrowed like we were borrowing in kobo.

Like OP rightly pointed out the power sector privatization was a flopped one. We gave the wrong people our infrastructure. The bulk of responsibility in our power system or grid is carried by the GENCOs and TCN, but the Discos are well positioned to make killer profit and fustrate their effort with by rejecting or interrupting supply.

Diamby:
People who criticize the present administration for the economic recession we are should tell us what the ousted government of GEJ would have done differently to halt the recession. We all know that i was the sharp drop in oil prices and lack of savings that threw us into this recession.Does jonathan have the powers to regulate international oil price? Nigeria is largely dependent on its earnings from crude oil for survival as such the oil prices affected our dollar earnings thereby causing the devaluation of the naira.I also ask what has previous administration done about diversifying the economy,building new refineries or revamping the old ones.power sector reforms as i know was a mess as most of the power infrastructure were handed over to those who have no capacity to manage them hence the eratic power supply we have now. The present govt might have its own issues about sound economic policies but i must say no foundation was built for the present government to build on so its like nigerian is just been nutured from the begining. Guys feel free to critise and add your own comments on how we found ourselves where we are today.Nigeria problem is structural.

How do u measure good governance? Fulani man

Sarrki, is that you?

coputa:
Did I hear you say,enough.Ekiti state is among the poorest state in the country with a very low internally generated revenue,largely from farm produce, not to mention the istipend that is allocated to the state (compared to what the oil producing state receives) from the federation account. Fayose is a prudent governor

Ekiti gets billions of Naira of allocation every month, so what's the governor's excuse. Were the people of Ekiti starving before they started getting free money?

You are maduekwe.
