But majority of the serviced debt wasn't obtained by this government

You have a point. In saner climes, Buhari would have been under investigation by now. His govt really did this country dirty.

But Tinubu has also not also fared better. What has Tinubu done with all the monies borrowed by his govt? If people actually see what is being done with these monies, they wouldn't have any problem with the borrowing. They should be transparent and tell us specifically what these funds are being used for.

They are looting this country dry.

Etc,
supporting the mindless borrowings by their darling daddy. No tye birds have come to roost. They urged Buhari on while he made a mess of our economy.

Now they are urging their god on while he kills everything that remains of our economy.

My GOD!!!

You guys are evil with so much unimaginable hatred for this country. You support evil leaders, policies,and actions.

Immediately the looting of Abịa State as done by Ikpeazụ was made public, fiam,they started supporting him. They supported Yahaya Bello while he held sway at Kogi. They supported the mess done by Rochas.


Im-p-s.

Resident evils

Shamelessness at its best.

The person that you addressed is a evil personified. He and his cohorts supported the mindless borrowings by their darling daddy then. When we warned and shouted, they called us all manners of names. Now their god is doing worse than Buhari and we are shouting. They are busy insulting PO.

Imagine spending all these monies on the national assembly. Imagine the betta Edu stuff. Imagine build road at trillions with only one contractor. A road that is not a priority for now considering the present economic situation. Why not fix east-west road and other bad roads in South-south and southwest first, support production before any other thing?

As corrupt as Nigeria is, the assumption that everything in the country can be explained on the basis of "corruption" is simply wrong. There is no need to resort to fact-free accusations of "looting" when there are simpler, well-documented explanations at hand. By far the biggest drain on the government's coffers is the petrol subsidy which is back in full force.

Add in the huge cost of the electricity subsidies and it's no wonder this government has to borrow to merely stay afloat.

Yes, the subsidy is back.

The surprisng thing is now that debt service is eating 70% of our revenue. Before it was eating 90% as at August 2022, tinubu removed subsidy, it went down to 63%, now tinubu brought back subsidy it is 70% and rising.

The scary thing is that cost of producing fuel is going to push the petrol costs up.

The problem is, Nigerians want cheap things. God knows I wish it were possible, but the fact is people want to be paid, so prices go up. As does subsidy.

Subsidy is not really draining the funds. The thing is corruption. With every sincerity,

what is the quantity of fuel consumed in this country?

Do you know?

How much fuel is imported into this country?

Did the people to whom subsidy is/was paid truly import fuel and the quantity they were paid for?

With every sincerity, can you say that a good portion of the subsidy was not stolen?

Corruption is the number 1 thing bro.

spending N90Bn to stone devil proves that you are wrong. Add in what the states are giving them too and you see why the people will always deserve subsidy.
Corruption is so huge,it will be illogical to remove subsidy and boldly retain corruption just because it is hard to prove. For example, almost all governors will emerge as billionaires after their tenure with no backing investment or venture.

[b]The alarming revelation of Nigeria's escalating debt servicing expenditure paints a stark picture of a nation ensnared in a cycle of financial bondage. With a staggering 70% of dollar payments dedicated to servicing external debts in the first quarter of 2024, it's evident that the burden of debt is crushing Nigeria's economic prospects.

This insidious trend mirrors a playbook of economic exploitation that has plagued nations across the globe. Countries like Nigeria, seduced by promises of development and prosperity, have fallen prey to the siren call of foreign loans. Yet, far from leading to economic emancipation, these loans have shackled nations in perpetual debt servitude.

Look no further than the wreckage left in the wake of similar debt-driven models. Countries like Argentina and Greece serve as cautionary tales, their economies ravaged by unsustainable debt burdens that led to economic collapse and social upheaval.

Conversely, there are shining examples of countries that have charted a different course, opting for self-reliance and prudent fiscal management. Take Rwanda, for instance, a nation that emerged from the shadows of conflict to become one of Africa's success stories, largely by avoiding the pitfalls of excessive borrowing.

Similarly, Botswana stands as a testament to the transformative power of prudent resource management. By investing in education, healthcare, and infrastructure while maintaining fiscal discipline, Botswana has achieved remarkable prosperity without succumbing to the debt trap.

As Nigeria grapples with the specter of mounting debt, it's imperative that we heed the lessons of history. True progress and prosperity lie not in indebting ourselves to foreign creditors but in harnessing our own resources, fostering innovation, and nurturing sustainable development strategies. It's time to break free from the chains of debt servitude and forge a path to genuine economic empowerment and self-determination.[/b]

I won't pay you below your production price if you were selling things you made. I will pay you at full price, so that you can make a profit, and use that profit to expand your business. It is not exploitaiton, it is economic sense.

Always reply to imaginative jinks. No one is forcing anyone to sell below production price. Govt buys from producer at profitable rate and sells at a loss to masses, better than going to stone a spirit in the desert with N90 Bn

And it is that selling at a loss that is helping to drive off deficits....and thus debts.

I know we don't agree on this subsidy thing, but the problem is, we don't have enough money to sustain selling at a loss, and the associated mess like corruption.

As aptly put below
Defenders of the current subsidy regime are of the view that subsidy removal would cause inflation, as higher costs of production would be passed on to the final consumers. This is true. However, the increase in the average price level would be proportional to the share of fuel in overall costs of production or share in consumer expenditure. Hence, for the low fuel-intensive sector, the direct impact of higher fuel prices would be low. However, the extent to which the increase in price from higher fuel prices can be passed on to consumers would depend on the nature of the elasticity of demand and supply for the product.

However, what many people fail to appreciate is that the current subsidy regime also fuels current inflation through higher budget deficits that are financed through ways and means and other forms of public debts. Most economists are in agreement that budget deficits financed through ways and means are inflationary. Current data shows that 95 per cent of government revenue is spent on payments of interests on government debts. It follows, therefore, that nearly all non-debt recurrent expenditure is financed by debt, including fuel subsidy. This is inflationary
