Adamu Adamu, an accountant by training, used to be one of the best columnists in Daily Trust Newspapers. He used to be fearless in criticising the govt.
So after becoming the education minister, he lost his voice and ideas
Racoon: Indeed, Nigerians have heard all that before.Buhari’s shock therapy is thus, not the ultimate solution.We need fiscal discipline at all levels of government.We need accountability.We need transparency.We need prudence. Government needs to trim fat.
While retrenchment is not an option at this time, at least certain excesses on the expenditure side can be scaled down.
The pains of reforms would only be worth it if Nigerians begin to see good roads, decent hospitals, better education and higher standards of living in the years ahead.Unfortunately, Nigerians have heard the same unfulfilled promises for so long that they have developed immunity against hope.
irepnaija4eva: What is your position concerning the Emene killings?
The killings are not what should be commended, but there must be a reason, either based on false information or what the security people were told. I feel very bad that 21 young men were killed, something we’re not sure about. I can’t condone it.
Obasanjo’s entry swayed the whole interest because of June 12 and the need to address the unrest in the nation as it was in the Southwest then.
A lot of us, including Ekwueme knew this. The general thing was to give the Southwest a chance that even Ogbonnaya Onu, another Igbo man that won the primaries of the APP had to step aside for Olu Falae of AD to run on APP platform as the joint candidate of the two parties to make it possible for candidates from Southwest zone only to run for president.
With that June 12 sentiment and the need for the military to diffuse the tension, we all knew what the outcome would be.
kikero: Most if not all African economies fall victim to the IMF because their sources of income have problems.....
First, most African countries rely on selling raw materials and commodities to the global market
Second we use the income from the sales to import goods and services, including some that we can produce on our own at a value that is higher than our income
Third , we don't control the price of the raw materials we sell. Prices of crude oil are determined in London and New York
Fourth, we spend billions on subsides and other socialist welfarist projects which end up costing more than we estimated because of our growing population and low tax base
Fifth, we tolerate corruption, both at the low and also by the big men and women. And most of the money stolen comes from loans taken
All these puts us into deficit and into the hands of the IMF and the world Bank.
Nigeria is a classic example.
We could be free.from the IMF, but because it involves fighting corruption seriously.and cutting subsides seriously, and becoming an industrial economy which means an initial period of hardship, we refuse to take those routes.
These routes is not meant for only the masses!!!
Why is the government not cutting down their excessive expenses
Why are they still collecting bogus salaries and allowances
You expect the masses to bear the suffering and pain while this few individual that sits and does nothing meaningful continue to steal and launder money
