Bro I agree with u, but there are still some more things I would like to add to yours.one of which is this:let the banks be given part of the foreign reserve to manage.they could first ask them to raise their capital base to 1billion dollars, this would of course trigger mergers among some banks.some others may be able to do it alone but in the long run, we will have fewer but stronger banks.giving them part of the foreign reserve to manage would increase the level of liquidity in the system. It would also afford the banks to give out long term loans at lower interest rate.it would also improve the credit level of the econonomy.they should also make sure that 60% this loan should be given to manufacturing/agro allied industry.just imagine the amount spent on rice importatation yearly, think of what we will save if we are able to produce enough rice for the population and even export, palm oil, olive oil, groundnut oil and others.it would not only provide income but it would also provide employment but the banks are key to attaining this objective.

Axeurdaddy:



We both know it isn't, Do not allow petty hatred cloud your sense of judgement. I have friends and families who lost their jobs in Jonathan's era as well.

SeverusSnape:
Since Buhari came on board, thousands of Jobs have been lost. But the dull'ard promised two million jobs annually. Maybe he meant the opposite. Because he can be confused most of the times.

I just hope my friends who are Bankers won't be sacked.

Axeurdaddy:


Mr Severus, Please do not do this. Mention one administration since the days of Obasanjo that people did not lose their jobs.

This isn't about the Presidency, Its a national dilemma. We should be concerned about the solution rather personalising the problem on the Presidency, except if you're happy about it.

989900:


That is where we should be headed.

You have spoken well.

When I saw how much we spend on importing palm oil, poultry, sugar, and rice, I bled!

Not to mention refined petroleum products, which the banks are part of the faceless cabal.

It was 'free money', it is immoral, it will end someday -- that day is here.

Now lets fund the real sector and grow a real economy, not the cosmetic one we've been having.

Axeurdaddy:



I have relatives who had everything going good for them before Jonathan became the president and the harsh economic situation of the country led to them being booted out of their jobs. How's that too?

PMB isn't as bad as he's politically smeared to look to the people

sweetgala:


There are many things a government can afford to skimp on, security is not one of them.

The Nigerian nation has a police to civilian ratio far below the required international standards. The fact remains more police men/women need to be employed to combat insecurity and graft. Thereby allowing the government to save money in other areas

Jwhizzy:


I apologise for not sulking. You believe this is a beautiful initiative innit? So tell me, how will you have suggested that this should have been implemented. Government should have insisted that banks don't sack? It's not enough to speak big grammar and ask for 'circumspection'.

niceeric:

God bless u brother!.....ive been scrolling through comments right from the first one hoping to see someone who understands correctly what happened here... Buhari just isn't clever enough to understand that there are so many good policies but one needs to consider the ripple effects that would follow if one actualises them so one doesn't get tagged a bad person despite wanting good for the populace.
I know a man like him never listens to counsel and I hope he doesn't drag us deep down the drain with his 'one man mopol' reasoning before his tenure ends but I know for sure it is what our suddenly loving ally-the united states wants for us

SeverusSnape:

Buhari's own is worse, just look, Only four months in power and tens of thousands of Jobs have been lost.

I'm not happy about it, because I have friends who are Bankers.

We are watching Buhari but thank God Nigerians are wiser due to 50yrs of misrule and would not hesitate to call out the government when they start derailing.

Obiwiz:

hmmm, u think five thousand naira per month will make a once employed man smile? And how many of dem do u think will survive till d tym d phantom 'apc promises' becomes reality? Make we open our eyes o; generally speaking, nothing good is coming from any Nigerian politician.

Thank you

That's what I thought too...

Oh, really?!... I had aquintances who were hale and hearty before Buhari came on board, all of a sudden, They are now on sick beds, because of the downward slope of our health care system under Buhari. How about that?

have you forgotten they are the decision makers? Don't even expect that to happen. If you were in their shoe you will do the same.
