NgeneUkwenu: You made sense with the first article though it is nothing new, only the ignorant minds who refuse to grow up still think buhari is the cause of their economic woes, while I absolve buhari completely in this economic mess, I would blame Jonathan in 2015 but I think it is irresponsible to blame Jonathan in 2016 and beyond. let me tell you why; No matter how much you save, it is only a matter of time before the balance of trade will tilt that is a fact, The rubbles went on a free fall recently according to your article, it has devalued by 100% against the dollar, so I can assume that by your analysis the Russian Economy is in trouble right? Are you aware that this troubled Russian economy saved over $400b when the going was good? so why are their savings not saving them? The answer lies with the fact that savings only buy time but will never change the inevitable. You may have a valid argument by citing western sanctions but does it change the fact that Russia is the highest exporter of Natural gas in Europe? Europe is in winter and you have no idea how much Russia is making from Gas sales alone. Does it change the fact that russia has signed arms deal with china to the tune of Billions of dollars recently? or that president Assad has recently purchased an unspecified number of sophisticated air defence systems from Russia or that Iran recently placed orders for unspecified number of Su-30 fighter jets from Russia. The idea of saving became a government policy in Nigeria during the era of OBJ and Soludo when the ECA was created, from there we paid off our debts which was a big sack on our annual budgets, we launched the NIPP, we paid subsidy, during the meltdown that saw most western economies in recession, the Nigerian economy was "immuned" according to Soludo, thanks to that savings made by Obasanjo. The interesting part of the puzzle is that despite all the good things that savings did for our economy at the time, towards the end of Obj's administration, Naira was devalued to 155 against the dollar. To save is the right thing and it has saved us a lot of wahala in the past no doubt about it but if crude prices remain low for a longer time (OBJ/SOludo were just lucky that it peaked eventually), soludo with his savings would have devalued further. So you see, there must be balance of trade whether or not you saved. It is irresponsible if buhari's media team continue to blame Jonathan beyond 2016, how much will Jonathan save that will stop the inevitable? I blamed jonathan in 2015, I voted him out in 2015 because I believe it was too early to have dipped into recession, but the present government needs to take hold of the wheels, this is no longer2015 and we voted them for a reason. 3 Likes |

grandstar: 1. Has he devalued the Naira?. 2. Kindly name the products and if you are referring the the products that were taking off from the Forex or imported commodities, then can you tell us another means of strengthening the economy if you still import them?. 3. Is JP Morgan a Nigerian? Who the hell is he? 4. In all, what has PDP got to what critics and economists say about his administration... everybody has his own point of view. 5. Pls proof your last statement with facts and figures based on the state of the economy when Buhari became the president. Putting into considerations the crude oil price going south, insurgency and Naira Being devalued cos of Crude oil price Crashing. 1 Like |

sseunhayor: Stop being defensive. I have written off the economy since July or probably earlier. Buhari being a man of integrity does not make him an economist. That is what his supporters fail to remember. I know rotten economic policies when I see them. His epic mismanaging off the crisis is completely inexcusable. 1 Like |

The greedy importers will buy dollars high and now over take advantage, instead of just making the normal profit Let's break it down for slow learners. $ at N250, machine selling price N25,000 $ at N380 machine selling price should be N41,425 and not N45,000. That's the greed I'm talking about |

[quote author=plaetton post=43056774] Before 1999, who managed the economy? Are you saying that you have no idea what a prosperous economy looks like? PDP was corrupt. We all agree. Compared to common sense, a corrupt government stand no chance of implementing useful policies except chop chop policies. The chop chop flaring permit smuggled into the PIB was one of the reasons why the PIB was discarded, good policy but marred with chop chop corrupt practises, TSA was not implemented another good policy who knows if it was chop chop that stalled it, well the 1% chop chop has been discovered by a more responsible government. The fraudulent fixed charge for DISCOS did not take any time to implement, another chop chop even though we agree that balkanizing the power sector is a good step. In summary, a corrupt government stand no chance of implementing any beneficial policy without the chop chop dept carried along. Downplaying the ills of corruption is an insult to well meaning Nigerians. I need to remind you that APC stalwarts strongly objected to the creation of sovereign wealth fund ( the much talked about savings for the rainy day). You are the one with acute Amnesia, the SWF is the FG's share of the ECR, what business does it have with APC? I need to remind you further that all states of the federation, including APC States, participated willfully in the depletion of our foreign reserves. You are super ignorant, first the Governors took the FG to court from OBJ's era, Obj called them bluff because he insisted he held the money on trust though the account was illegal, when jonathan came he started making illegal withdrawals from the account betraying that trust, Amaechi and his army demanded for their own share, the court did not give a judgement on the matter rather the court asked them to go and settle out of court. so if you had any shred of wisdom, culpability is on the person who betrayed the trust OBj upheld for 7yrs. My point in all of this is that APC federal government and their apologists sing songs that the immediate past administration mismanaged the economy is hollow and baseless; for the simple reason that our economy has NEVER EVER been properly managed by any administration since Independence. APC's allegation has substance in 2015 and perhaps first quarter of 2016, beyond that it becomes baseless, for shallow minds like you, I don't expect you to criticize down to the details. 2 Likes |

jpphilips: First and foremost, i never presented any article as stated by you. i only expressed my opinion and i still stand by u. secondly, I got ur drift. the bottom line is we need alternatives to oil that will fetch us foreign currency. That want available by the time this govt was coming on board. Are u among those that think those alternatives by now after less than a yr in power should be fetching us the amount we desire? how long will do u think these will come to play? Tommorrow? For me, I choose to give them till 2nd quarter of this year. Anything before then is Jonah-daft curse hunting us. |
