They are not 'visible' cos the opposition media hides their own stories.

All the points are basically export (point 1). They all involve exporting either goods or services.
Imagine the dollar going without subsidy for another 12 months and eventually hitting N600/$. By selling $200 worth of goods or service every month that's N120,000/month. How many grads earn that much? As long as the product and service is up to international standard, it must sell.
The recession is our best economic teacher so far. It will expose lazy people who just sit in offices daily and earn 'free' govt money.

No analysis, just a vague ad.

The govt must not probe into the past. It will amount to witch-hunt if it does.

Yet some people say govt should turn a blind eye to the past. I hope Buhari stays long enough - 2023 - to clean many mess.

Nigeria will be great again!

GEJ would have averted the Recession biting hard on the Nigerians, had he heeded OBJ's Warning!

We should stop blaming PMB, rather work collectively to end the mess!

So true!

It is these same cattle theives that terrorize farmers and then you call them herdsmen (mind you these cattle theives r fulani). A genuine herdsman always keeps his herds in sight and has no time raiding villages pillaging and plundering.

People comment like there is a prize for stupidity.
What's the business of a cattle rustler with a farmer that the normal herdsman doesn't have with a farmer?

modath:

Nigeria's economy has always been vulnerable since 2010-11, it was the strastopheric oil prices that acted as band aid on the necrotic stinking sore called mono commodity (mineral resource that has a volatile pricing mechanism for that matter), decaying infrastructure, 99% import dependent economy of a country!!

If I may add to OBJ's warning, The oil price crash will leave its scars behind but will surely help lots of ignorant folks wake up and understand their country far better.
As the dollar rate rises, lazy and unproductive people will suffer most. Imagine the dollar at N800. As time goes productive people can always offer their products and services to intl market and earn dollar. At that time a man who earns some meagre $100 - $150/month will be earning more than most lazy civil servants or persons who earns average of N50k - N75k/month or even N30k/month.

psucc:
. . . and today he fails to see that the economy had actually fallen.

Maybe he is ashamed that things had turned out this way.

He should be proud cos he helped Nigerians make the right choice by boothing out Jonathan.

Internet never forgets.
People who understood how the Nigerian system was run will not be surprised at all. What Jonathan did to sustain dollar at N165 for so long was to use dollar earned from oil to flood fx market at cheap rate (N165). Once the dollar supply started to dwindle, it is only natural that the dollar rate rises to it hitherto surpressed value of - in my own humble estimate - around N800 and above gradually. We should be glad that through the slowing down of corruption and plugging of systemic loophole by Buhari, the dollar is just hitting N450. It could have easily been N650-N750 had we continued with the spending pattern of previous admin.

A evil genius must be intelligent.

From 1999 . . . . But I Know its Buhari's fault.

No big deal. They will come out clean.

[quote author=bejeiodus post=49369974][/quote]

Corruption must fight back. All the dollars they stole under previous govt is haunting them. They are so used to it now.

How can he solve low oil price problem? Most of these people aim jibes at Buhari were same people who ate with Jonathan and ran the economy aground.

Always about paying contractors herdpd & there and not about increasing IGR. When will our people learn to demand proactive leadership and not leadership by simply spending what the get from Abuja?

The right thing to do is to prosecute her ASAP. How on earth did she get that kind of money? Real Nigerians will like to hear about it.

Junkie aide . . . you should be ashame of GEJ

We know better concerning how GEJ depleted the reserve to artificially stimulate the economy. If Buhari had continue at this rate There would av been no reserve by now. Thank God for Buhari.

The CBN announced that the reserves for March 2015 dropped by $8billion when compared to what it was at the end of March 2014. The organization said: “The stock of external reserves at end-March 2015 stood at $29.36billion as against $34.24billion and $37.4billion recorded at end-December 2014 and end-March 2014, indicating respective depletion of $4.9bn or 14.3 % and $8bn or 21.5 %. The depletion was mainly due to the funding of the rDAS window and intervention at the interbank market to stabilise the naira exchange rate. The current level of external reserves, which is equivalent to 7.1 months of import commitment, could also finance 6.8 months of foreign exchange disbursements and 5.2 months of imports of goods and services.”

These guys ehn, as agile as they appear they can't farm or hustle. JungleJustice should teach them a lesson or two.

Emmaoga:
Channel your frustrations to your now president, advice him to visit those that will help our economy grow again.

Make una leave GEJ alone.
its a pity Buhari has made him more popular...... he won in defeat.

The economy is in few bank accounts and we know those accounts already. Stop being half smart.

Forwetinnah:
I hope you know the 2 people GEJ was with (Abdulsami and IBB) aren't in good terms with booohari? So who's going to be doing the pleading on Mama P's behalf? You people don't even know what's happening. Those 2 crooks are instruments to some newly discovered(once hidden) under water pipelines taking the NDs crude to some African country..they got busted recently by the Avengers. The biggest thieves are from the majority tribes especially from Abdulsami and IBBs extraction, now their fellow joke is shouting "change begins with you" and people like you are llistening.

Madueke did paid them a visit before her trip to the UK, remember? Don't buy your theory much.

They know we are fantastically lazy.

aresssa:
To start with, the former minister didn't say no such thing, while Vanguard as usual was digging for rubbish to tarnish the president with, they stole the fake news from ipob igbekere blogsite, but end up eating their own vomit and disgrace by apologizing for their elementary school and shameful journalistic practices..

Everything about ipob and Biafra agitators is nothing but fraud, 419 and crooked deception..


The problem is always NL and lousy, enabling and incompetent moderating.

You have ignorant and incompetent moderators running around like little girls banning for silly, petty and idiotic reasons while some bitter, 419 and anti Nigerian elements litter NL with worthless junk and fake news that should be deleted on arrival and perpetrators banned for posting fake news.

The enablers are not any different from the perpetrators..

PDP is desperate and fustrated.

Re: #Changebeginswithme; Mr President, Why Have You Refused To Change?


Mr. President Sir,

I want to at first register my apology ahead, if at any time in the course of this write up I sound offensive with my statements and assertions. For me you remain the GCFR of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to that seat all Nigerians owe a lot of respect. Besides, it is not my words alone, but voices from the Streets and Slums where I and most Nigerians belong.

Your Excellency Sir, your Pride, Dictatorship tendencies and vendetta mission coupled with your lack of economic blue prints and vision destroyed our economy. Your recent campaign of #changebeginswithme is a confirmation of the fact that; firstly, you are clearly in touch with the current realities, secondly it is an unambiguous demonstration of the fact that you lack clue and economic vision cum direction to solving Nigerian problems.

I do expect that you fill the pangs of this recession; neither do you ‘enjoy’ the pains Nigerians go through. You sleep and live in a posh house, in the most decent and secure environment in Nigeria. You wake up to meals of your choice, retinues of aides attend to your daily activities. So Sir, like many other past Nigerian leaders you don’t buy anything but get everything - courtesy, Nigerian tax payers’ money.
On your #Changebeginswithme campaign, I want to affirmatively tell you that Nigerians have changed; you are the one who have refused to change. You won your last election not because you were the most qualified Nigerian but because Jonathan had lost his re-election since Jan 1st 2012 when he remove PMS subsidy. Nigerians in their ignorance of the scam that abound in the process by the Cabals took to streets and vow not to return home until the pump price is returned, after then GEJ lost his good will. This same subsidy you flagrantly removed without prior notice and Nigerians did not object. What Change, Love and Support do you want again?

You came on board with your team, increased electricity tariff despite not having adequate of it; Nigerians did not complain. The worst of it all, you technically devalued the Naira which has led to double digits inflation, in the hit of this recession with goods and food items skyrocketing to an all time high. Yet Nigerians, still believing in you, have not taking to street. Sir, what manner of #changebeginswithme do you expect from us again?

Your Honor Sir, you are the one who have refused to change! You refused to change from your old ways of Pride, Tribalism, Nepotism, Religious bigotry, and Vendetta Mission. This has been driving your sense of judgment. You started, by making the most tribalistic, nepotistic, religious and ethnic driven appointments in the history of Nigerian as you assumed office. You know what? This first action of yours divided the country across tribal and ethnic lines and most unfortunately destroyed the party that brought you into power on the platter of gold. APC is dead!!! Hard truth to believe. What we have now is CPC, ACN, ANPP, nPDP. Can four parties control one government? Anybody might want to ask me how party issue affects the economy, then I will tell you that one of the reasons we have poor governance now is because there is no cooperation between those at the helms of affairs. CPC has the Executive, nPDP controls the Legislature; tell me the way forward? Party’s ideology should GREATLY influence governance just like other advance countries; the US and UK.

Your pride made you to make VERY reckless statements at some particular points in time which are not good and healthy for our economy. One of such is the 5% statement at the US Institute of Peace. That those that gave you 5% vote will also get 5% treatment. Mr. President, you goofed!!! Why that kind of statement after elections? Were you still campaigning? This statement is responsible for the renewed and increased agitations for self rule in the South East and South-South regions, for they are the ones who gave you 5% because of their Kinsman Jonathan. They cannot watch you treat them as second class citizens in the very country they claim to belong. You also forgot that one of these 5% people gave you Power voluntarily without recourse to force.

Imagine if you had extended a hand of friendship, and you disappoint them by making someone from either SS/SE your CoS/SGF and mirror the difference it would have made. Experiences have shown that the persons you can trust most is when turn your enemy to your friend and imagine the level of loyalty. But your refusal to #change is responsible for the lack of cooperation from these regions to move Nigeria forward with you, which has the destruction of oil facilities and installations. This has severely dealt with our economy after Billion of Dollars revenue shortfall, besides[/s]

Trash.

Thisis2raw:
I really miss this man. I bet this man can bring Nigeria back to life less than 6months if given power

You miss his önline tout hiring right? If only he will hire you again, it will bring your personal economy up again in 6 months.

MAMA PEACE's case must be the real reason. The writer implied the meeting detail wasn't known but went ahead to speculate like he knew for sure the details. Paid writers everywhere.

Flexherbal:
We just need a solution.
What is the way forward?

The article appears to be a fake Ezekwesili article plus its analysis uses exergerated comparison.

And so what? It still isn't among top 5 dirtiest places in Nigeria.
