[size=18pt]Buharinomics - General Buhari’s economic program marshaled out to salvage the nation in 1984 (- - -continued part 5)
[/size]


To counter OPEC’s bluff, the Buhari administration entered into a $2 billion barter trade agreement with four countries.
Nigeria daily bartered 200,000 barrels of oil as follows:
(a) completely knocked down parts for automobiles from Brazil.

(b) Construction equipment from Italy

(c) Engineering equipment from France, and

(d) Capital goods from Austria.

This barter trade took care of the administration’s need to have borrowed money but it intensified the ill will the US and Britain had for Nigeria.

By bartering this oil, Nigeria was:

(a) solving those needs which the proposed IMF loan was geared toward. Doing so without borrowing or feeling the pains of spending the meager amount generated from its OPEC approved 1.3 billion a day oil export is the stuff an economic wizard is made of.

(b) Britain had been cut off as Nigeria’s major supplier of the goods which the countries in the barter agreement sent to Nigeria.

(c) The US usurious money lenders were denied the chance to suck Nigeria dry through the IMF loan.

(d) American and British oil companies were irate that the oil being bartered would flood the oil market, cutting in on their profits.

(e) The oil being bartered was oil that used to be illegally bunkered before Buhari put illegal oil bunkering artist out of business. For once, an African country had put positive economic mechanism in place to salvage its ailing economy without swallowing IMF’s poison pills.

If our proplem is to sanitize process of accountability then Buhari is the next President. He is tested and found worthy. Buhari will deliver. Buhari is the answer to corruption in Nigeria. But my fear is that I am an Igbo. will he not sell Nigeria to Boko Haram?

^ made sense up till your last sentence.

After saying he is tried and tested you then questioned whether he would sell Nigeria to Boko Haram?

Buhari signs Barter Trade agreement with Brazil who would refine and return Nigeria's oil in exchange for crude oil[/size]

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 13— Brazil has won an international bidding contest to refine Nigerian oil this year, the state oil company, Petrobras, announced today.

The $1.2 billion agreement calls for Brazil to import Nigerian crude and return refined gasoline, jet fuel and diesel oil to Nigeria, a Petrobras spokesman said. He added that the accord would allow Brazil to reduce its idle refining capacity and earn a margin of profit.

Brazil imports about two-thirds of the one million barrels of oil it consumes daily, mostly from the Middle East. It buys 10,000 barrels daily from Nigeria.

He came up with War Against Indispline and flogged people to stay in queues. That was a colonial era and sharia style mentality in display.

I have been advocating for government to be taken compulsorily as a course in high schools for, in this era of social media, people not only misinform, they take it to a new level by writing it on websites making people who're not patient enough to seive credible information from blasphemous accounts to be misled.

For goodness sake, where is it in the sharia that people are flogged on queues Do you even know the sharia you're writing about? Have you ever taken time to know about it before writing about it? The same queues you're riling about is what Dora's Information Ministry encouraged Nigerians to embrace in their media campaign of 'Good people, good nation'. Don't just swallow things hook, line and sinker without investigating - that's what differentiates your analysis from others.

It's okay not to be in the same ship or party but when people want to criticize, they should stop the blasphemy and stop misleading (ignorant) people with false information please!!!
