The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says Nigeria’s economy has hit a wall and is now in a ‘merciless condition.’ The former governor of Lagos State said this in a statement by his media office on Thursday. This is just as Tinubu is set to deliver the keynote address at a lecture to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of renowned historian and activist, Dr. Yusufu Usman, at the Arewa House, Kaduna, on Friday (today). The APC leader said that it was unfortunate that Nigeria wasted the opportunity of diversifying its economy when oil prices were at an all-time high. Tinubu said Nigeria had been dancing on the edge of economic disaster for several years and failed to invest properly despite the warning signs. The APC leader stated this just as the naira fell to its lowest level in Nigerian history on the parallel market, trading for N280 against the dollar on Thursday. He said now that oil prices have plummeted, the economy has got worse. Tinubu added that there was no guarantee that oil prices would rise in the near future. He, therefore, called for a new way of thinking. He said, “For decades, Nigeria danced in close confines with economic disaster. In the past, higher oil prices allowed us to dodge the worst. We have survived but not thrived. Improvised but not planned. Spent but not invested. Laughed, drank and feasted but did not build, construct or maintain. Now, Nigeria has collided into a wall, merciless and immovable. The present downturn in oil prices may be more than just a transient slump in the business cycle.” The statement added, “Tinubu seeks a new economic paradigm. Nigeria needs economic liberation. Before we can free our economy, we must free ourselves of the economic myths consigning us to our current predicament. To achieve this objective, we must return to the ideals and concepts of Dr. Bala Usman.” At the Friday event, Tinubu would explore key elements of the APC’s change agenda in relation to the liberation theory of the late Usman and within the context of the present political and economic challenges facing Nigeria. In the keynote speech, Tinubu is expected to offer a lucid economic analysis of what confronts Nigeria and suggest innovative ways to move the political economy forward. The statement added, “He (Tinubu) will offer fresh thinking on the way forward. The welfare of the people must be the anchor of public policy as this is in consonance with all that Bala Usman taught and practised.” The Emir of Kano, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II; Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, and a large number of northern intellectuals are expected to also attend the lecture. http://www.punchng.com/nigerias-economy-in-a-merciless-condition-tinubu/

So FFK it took you 17 years to write this rubbish? I think this write up just show how desperate and hypocritical you've become since GEJ paid you to be his campaign manager. During the OBJ time when you were minister and in bed with many northerners you wouldn't dare write this diarrhea do you? I guess your response will be this is why it took 17 years to respond. Now at this moment that you are down with the ibos and some yoruba thugs what are you trying to achieve with this trash? Are you for separation now just because you have lost the last elections? "true democrat and intellectual" My problem with your write up is that this just full of hate and vengeful even though you claim not to be exactly that. So likewise after the elaboration of all sins by the North isn't not time for you to start elucidating those by the South ;and just look at yourself in a Mirror as a black man and tell me what you see. I m not going to start counting how what is bad about southerners because i'm not a saint neither are the southerners.

is anything wrong with the writers message?

this man has not said anything to warrant all this insults.

My favorite quotes of Dr. Muhammadu Buhari are: 1)The dog and baboon will be soaked in blood 2)2015 election will be very bloody 3)an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north

Gaborone:
So, here we go...

Yesterday at the office, my boss walked up to us -his employees- and gave an impassioned talk about President Buhari's style of governance. He said, while he thought Buhari's attempt at recovering stolen funds were not out of place in itself, he was giving way too much attention to it. According to him, the President's lack of priority in this regard had become counter-productive and had started to prove detrimental to other areas that are in dire need his attention.

To drive home his point, he gave us a parable of an employer who kept N20,000 in his office somewhere, and on coming back to take it, he discovered that one of his Clerks had run off with it. After the discovery, the employer took the keys to the office, locked it up. He ran out with as much fury as he could muster, shouting to the hearing of all who would listen, "Who saw my boy?!!!", "Please, help me find him and get my money!!" All the while this employer was out looking for the stolen money, his shop remained under lock and key, no monies coming out, no monies going in. No customer, no profits in sight; he was making losses with every turn. Yet, ALL that mattered to him remained getting the thief of a boy, and recovering the stolen money.

My boss likened the employer in the above parable to President Buhari. He says our President has practically closed shop -Nigeria- and has decided to channel all his energy into getting stolen funds, forgetting that there is a bigger picture -an economy- that needs urgent attention; forgetting that the country might be going into a recession; forgetting that people are losing their jobs, forgetting that foreign investors are leaving, and more are 'plotting' to close shop and leave Nigeria; forgetting that an economy is not run by stolen funds which are recovered, but that if anything, they are to be regarded as "extras".

The above is how my boss sees things right now, and I agree with him.

I have to agree because, since coming into office, the activities of President Buhari's government has centered around just two things: 1. Foreign trips; and 2. Instigating the prosecution of looters of the past (who I must mention are not pro his government or pro-Apc). While the relevance of the above two can really not be downplayed, the fact remains that attention need to be given to the economy of Nigeria. As my boss said, no country has ever been run on recovered funds. Me thinks he needs to stay home a bit more, and pay attention to the alarms being raised by the World Bank and other bodies about Nigeria's economy. He need to share that attention he is giving the boy who stole the money.

Now, what's your own take about what my boss said?

#As an aside, he needs to stop talking so much about his predecessor -Jonathan. It's only a lazy man that blames his tools all the time.
