Huncle Bismarch Rewane, it seems you have suddenly forgotten that you were appointed to serve in this government. In fact, every APC government gives you the opportunity to serve as an economic policy adviser, what do typically achieve as a professional adviser? 27 Likes |

Tinubu who was advising Buhari to print more notes instead of borrowing has discovered that Buhari was right. Buhari only printed to pay states and salaries and borrowed to loot. While Tinubu seems to have continued from where Buhari stopped as he actually promised. 6 Likes 1 Share |

SmartPolician: Ghana GDP to debt ratio is 88%, while Nigeria own is still about 50%. Waking at this early hour to post rubbish and unsubstantiated report from this day, emergency Nigeria lover, fake news/ bad news carrier. Can you now rest? The man you support is shouting Production all over the world but has never produced anything for Nigeria. Gdp is a function of how productive a country is. Instead of you going out there to produce something you are here crying about debt. Can you tell is how you want to produce without availability of fund? Every loan taken is very transparent and linked to specific project unlike during PDP years. Do something good with your life. Politicians children are flexing and enjoying themselves abroad, you are drying up. Wise up pls 66 Likes 1 Share |

Freetech:This is not about Tinubu Reducing this to politics is reactionary The debts accumulated mostly under Buhari and they have NOT been transparent They are quite painful to repay and are largely wasted Even under this government waste continues and Tinubu has not shown leadership in dealing with cost of governance Many of us wish Tinubu well but will not support him blindly Government officials do not live as if there is any problem They indulge in a life of luxury that even those in the countries we borrow from do not This includes legislators,civil servants etc There is no sign that they understand how bad things are The United States does not feed their president He pays to feed his family in the White House Tinubu is a rich man he needs to set a personal example of sacrifice so all others below him follow 14 Likes |

Freetech: Which capital and electricity will be used for the production? Do u know how many small scale business have closed down due to capital and electricity? Imagine having a 5M capital to be running your production business while spending over 300k for fuel or diesel to run your equipments and all of a sudden the 5M can only get you raw materials worth 1.5M with diesel not inclusive. Then there are family responsibilities you need to take care of and house rents to pay. Since your order qty has reduced, you are now buying the raw materials at a much higher prices cause u get discounts only if u buy a certain qty. Can your production business survive that environment? 11 Likes |

Re: Bismarch Rewane: Nigeria Moving From Debt Sustainability To Debt Trap by Dbegining: 7:11am On Jul 13 |
Freetech: This is stupid talk. Our debt to GDP ratio is over 50% and it's the first tike it's happening in the history of our country. Now if our debt to gdp ratio is 50% and things are like this with govt revenue imagine what the country will be like if it hits 70 or 80%. Now is the best time for everyone to start speaking up not when it's beyond what the country can take. It's already bad as it is. And, no, there's no complete trace to what each debt is used for other than been looted. Lastly someone who is speaking up for the betterment of hus country isn't foolish. Telling him to wise up is stupid. "Politicians children are abroad"? Oga, if this country was in good shape, travelling abroad wont be an achievement. In fact before 2015 it wasn't!! 3 Likes |
