Demdem:in case u don't have mb to Google it let me make it eaiser In months to come, a Toyota Camry would be offered for N50,000 just to feed family. In 1984, just months after the military takeover by General Buhari, the country ground to a halt; just like today! He came with the same song-and-dance: THEY ARE CORRUPT!! In a matter of months, mothers were selling their jewellery to send their children to school. Thieves were stealing food at gun point, just like today. Within months, there simply was NO FOOD. The government gathered the little there was and restricted purchases. Whether you were 100 or ONE in your family, every household had a card with which they went to military manned cooperatives to purchase rationed, “essential commodities”. These included Rice, Beans, Yam, Bread, Milk, Sugar, and so on. Everything was rationed. It was war-time in peace-time!! Nigeria became like Somalia. We lived like refugees. And of course, a lot of children were simply pulled out of schools because feeding was priority number ONE! Going to school became a luxury, even for middle class families. And ANDREWS & JANES started checking out. People suddenly remembered they had British and American passports, and simply left the country! Those who are not aware of all these, ask anyone who was born on or before 1974. They should be old enough to remember. It was that harrowing. The most baffling aspect of all this was that, the people he said were corrupt and stealing, were presiding over an economy where the Naira was 1:1 with the US Dollar, and N2 to £1 Sterling! An economy where we were buying Volkswagen Beetle at N400 from Volkswagen of Nigeria. An economy where my entire family, all 7 of us, travelled for summer hols on tickets purchased for N280 and BTA of N400 (official – we managed to sneak more out for shopping naaa). An economy where everything was robust and vibrant and growing. Then a man comes in and says he took over because people were corrupt and he needed to sanitise things. In a matter of months, the Dollar was N15 and the Sterling was N40. A VW Beetle sold for N8,000 (up from N400) and that N8,000 simply was not available anywhere! Children dropped out of school, businesses closed, parents became destitute, food was NOT available and we queued for rations at cooperatives like refugees in a warring country!!! Fast forward to 2015!! The same man comes with the same song-and-dance. We tried to remind our peers and elders of those days, and we tried to educate the younger ones. However, the wind of change, that wind that always tells us that the grass is greener on the other side, deafened them all! And once again, within months, everything that happened in 1984 and 1985 – EVERYTHING – is all being repeated. I have just come from a home where my friends have owed 2 terms’ school fees. They have just made the difficult decision to leave Abuja, relocate back to their village and take the two younger children out of school, at least temporarily. The older boy will stay with friends and they will use the savings on rent and the likes to try and get him across the line (WAEC). Feeding is now a major task. Infact, people are complaining of their kitchens and farms being raided for food – DAILY!! Yet again, this is happening just months after Buhari takes over with screams of corruption and stealing. Corruption and stealing, yet that my family friend who was not corrupt, not stealing and not anywhere close to the corridors of power was paying his rent, feeding his family and sending all three children to school. Corruption and stealing yet businesses were opening daily, economy was vibrant, people were healthy, GDP was growing and so on! In 1985, we were rescued by IBB and Dogonyaro. Immediately, people experienced a reversal. Within a very short time, the cooperatives closed, food became abundant again, the Naira stabilised, mothers stopped selling their jewellery, and so on. It makes one wonder! If there were no reference points, Buharists may claim that “if only he had been president”, but the mid-80s proved that the worst period in Nigeria’s history were the 20-odd months he was in power, sandwiched between two periods of plenty and growth. Therefore, they cannot bring the argument that today’s sufferings and impoverishment were the fault of the past regime – because we will counter with “TAKE HIM OUT NOW LIKE IBB DID IN 1985 AND SEE IF BY THIS CHRISTMAS, YOU WILL NOT BE SMILING AGAIN. Someone told me today that he predicts that by this Xmas or next Easter at the latest, a person will come and offer a Toyota Camry in exchange for N50,000, just so that his family can eat and make merry over the holidays!! Nigerians simply don’t refer to history! And I have run out of every single drop of sympathy in my body. SO, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KEEP STEWING IN YOUR BROTH. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WILL SHELVE PARTISANSHIP, TRIBALISM, ETHNICISM, RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY, HATRED, INTEREST AND ALL THAT Copied from UNN 96 Business Class 2 Likes |

Demdem:and anoda one With the February polls fast approaching, Nigerians are itching to hear from the Presidential candidates on what their economic strategies for the next few years are. Answers can not come at a better time than this with the economy feeling the weight of falling global crude oil prices. While the battle against insurgency rages on, Nigerians are crying out for a handler capable of manning the economy properly. Once again, the Presidential election will be graced by a very known face, former military dictator Muhammadu Buhari. A candidate quite known from his ’84-85 regime. Examining past regimes, Buhari’s rule as the Head of State in Nigeria should provide the necessary lessons to be learnt from the General’s economic policies. On May 7, 1984 the General announced the country’s 1984 National Budget which came with a series of complementary measures including a temporary ban on recruiting Federal Public Sector workers. In analyzing the former Dictator’s regime, the Encyclopedia Britannica stated that: “Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt. Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average Nigerian. In October, 1984, barely 5 months after the Budget was passed, over 200,000 civil servants were retrenched and critics of the regime were thrown in jail. The austerity measures made it difficult for local industries to procure essential imported raw materials, leading many of them to close or to operate at greatly reduced capacity. Many workers were laid off, and Government itself retrenched many workers to increase its “cost effectiveness.” All of these actions were accompanied by high inflation. Struck by a major economic recession in 1985, the Buhari regime reopened the borders, closed since April, 1984 with Benin, Chad and Cameroon to speed up the expulsion of 700, 000 foreigners and migrant workers. This seemed like the best transformation idea to the General at the time. Nigerians were placed under the eyes of whip-wielding soldiers; civil servants and offenders were whipped and made to do frog jumps for the puny excuses like “walking in a lazy manner”. For some, the loss of public goodwill by that regime was not a surprise. Indeed, Over a year before the fall of that regime, Clifford D. May of the New York Times of 1st May 1984, wrote that: “In addition, prices for food and other essential commodities, which fell in the first weeks after the coup largely because of the presence of soldiers in the marketplaces, have now returned to or exceeded their levels before the coup. Unemployment has been rising, and many of the imported raw materials and spare parts needed to keep factories running have been lacking”. With a clear lack of understanding of market forces and production determinants, Buhari’s jackboot economic policies could only last a few months. The regime insisted on such rigid, hostile and ineffective strategies at the expense of liberalization and investor friendly strategies. This koboko-inspired price control consequently inspired scarcity, and Nigerians had to queue for basic commodities that were hitherto readily available. As a result, scarcity drove prices even higher, and inflation spiked. In a report by the Guardian Newspaper of 26th May, 1984, the then Nigerian Grains Board was reportedly unable to buy grains “because market prices were higher than what it was allowed to pay”. In another report by the Guardian of 24th May, 1984, the Association of Master Bakers, Confectioners and Caterers, in view of the scarcity and rising price of bread, made a passionate appeal to Government, and offered advice on the way forward. Such was the deplorable standard of life in 1984; essential commodities such as bread, milk, and even grain had become scarce just a few months into the Buhari administration. We are at war with ourselves, hundreds of people lamented silently. An oppressive law, Decree 4, was instituted and all but took away the freedom of expression of the Nigerian public. The stringent economic measures applied, led to student unrest in Tertiary Institutions as they railed against the re- introduction of fees and withdrawal of food subsidy and increased unemployment. The Buhari regime brought infrastructural development to a halt, education suffered badly, there were no agricultural reforms and with Nigeria operating a Closed Door policy the shut borders hindered any economic advancement that ought to have come via foreign investment. In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with politicians “escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in Government money”. The British Press led by the Daily Telegraph and the London Times, in separate articles, blamed the fall of the regime on the failure of his administration to solve the worsening economic crisis. The Buhari regime’s granting of a waiver to the Emir of Gwandu and father of his Aide De Camp, ADC, to clear 53 imported suitcases at a time when all national borders were closed has been advanced credibly to nibble at Buhari’s image of “integrity and impartiality”. The excessive use of force and strict penalties meant an increase in health challenges of citizens who could not afford Medical bills or were brutally injured by law enforcement officers. Names like Alex Ekwueme, Lateef Jakande and Ambrose Ali come to mind here. The allegedly “well managed” economy that Buhari claimed to have overseen is still in the doldrums. The General left a heritage of many broken and unfulfilled promises. At the end of his rule, the country still wallowed in corruption, injustice, religious and ethnic intolerance, poverty and all round misery. All these happenings leave questions in the minds of the electorate, especially as a coherent body of answers have not yet been given. source www.post-nigeria.com/buhari-what-economic-policies/ 1 Like |
