Economic Diversification - Not A Buhari Thing.. by francizy(m): 8:25am On Apr 10, 2016 |
When we allow tribalism, nepotism, bigotry and hate becloud our judgement, the end result is always fatal. I would like people on here, especially the defenders of this administration that are always talking about 16 years of PDP maladministrations to tell me what the plans of the present administration are, especially in the areas of economic diversification. You hear them say that achieving economic diversification is not easy and takes several years but they can't even point out a roadmap laid down by this government to supposedly achieve economic diversification. I'm not here to make comparisons between GEJ and PMB so I will have to remove anything GEJ from my analysis and talk fully about PMB. As for me, this administration, under Buhari (no matter how many years he rules), may never achieve anything meaningful regarding the much touted economic diversification because of the following: 1. BUDGET No special attention were giving to areas such as Agriculture (N29.7 billion); Mines and Steel Development (even with its potentials, this area gets a paltry N9.5 billion); Industry, Trade and Investment (N10.5 billion); Transportation (N13.7 billion); Water Resources (N7.2 billion); Labour and Employment (N7.8 billion); Science and Technology (N25.8 billion); etc. These are areas with massive potentials and can enable Nigeria diversify her economy. Rather than see to the sufficient funding of the ministries mentioned in the precious paragraph, huge sums were budgeted for the office of the National Security Adviser (gets N57.7 billion, aside the over 700 billion budgeted for security); Ministry of Special Duties (N72.8 billion); Office of the Secretary to the Federal Government (N45.3 billion); INEC (gets N45 billion in a year without general elections); Ministry of Information and culture (N39.1 billion); Office of the Head of Service (6.4 billion); Federal Character Commission (N2.09 billion); Outsourced Services (N5 billion); etc. Source: http://saharareporters.com/2015/12/31/buhari’s-2016-budget-consolidation-corruption-remi-oyeyemi Therefore, how does this budget in any way, indicate that this administration is serious about diversifying our economy. 2. OIL EXPLORATION Isn't it disheartening that with the current economic turmoil, Buhari still allocated N39.4billion for oil exploration in the Lake Chad basin. Also, it is quite clear even to the blind that this area is plagued with insecurity and has already gulped billions of Naira in the past with nothing to show for it, yet our "amiable" president decided to waste another N39.4 billion for same ol, same ol. I think Buhari should keep digging, he might actually dig up the earth's core and then sell it to Obama. Source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/12/pdp-chieftain-faults-buharis-allocation-of-n39-4b-for-oil-exploration-in-the-north/ 3. STRICT FOREX POLICIES People laud the efforts of Buhari in this regard but fail to see the disasterious effects of the strict forex policies. Talking from experience, sometimes last year, I wanted to acquire some scrolling and twisting machines from China but after all the dollar and naira saga, I had to abandon these machines and stick to manual process. Also, we can't take away the fact that Nigeria in its present stage doesn't have the capacity to fully delve into manufacturing because we cannot even produce our own raw materials, neither do we have adequate power supply or the capacity to produce machines required for both startups and existing businesses. 4. JUDGING FROM THE PAST APC supporters are fond of writing or saying things like what were the efforts made by the PDP to diversify our economy during their 16 years maladministration. They keep talking as if Nigeria started existing from 1999. I see this as a subtle way to absolve Buhari off blames of his own terrible dictatorship cum tyranny that crumbled our economy in the 80s. As a sole administrator, what did Buhari do in 83/84 to diversify our economy? Rather than build on from where Shehu Shagari stopped, he destroyed the economy completely because of his so called austerity or should I say tyrannical leadership. Shehu Shagari built the massive Ajaokuta Steel Industry almost to completion (about 90% completion) but our "all-knowing" Buhari came in and abandoned that project just as he abandoned the Lagos Metro-line. This is an organization with the potentials of creating millions of direct and indirect jobs. Does Muhammadu Buhari have some kind of resentment for anything not related to oil? Little wonder he destroyed the hopes of Nigeria becoming the giant of Africa in steel production in the 80s and here he is budgeting a paltry N9.5 billion for the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in 2015/2016. 5. EPILEPTIC POWER SUPPLY One would'be thought that with the bogus promises made by Buhari, Fashola and Osibanjo that the "body odour" generated power of last year would have been maintained till 2019 but here we are, back to square one, as our "unquestionable" Buhari broke record of generating 0MW of power supply for several hours. Source: http://www.punchng.com/power-generation-crumbles-to-0mw-for-several-hours/ How will industries grow and new businesses survive within an administration if power supply is as epileptic as this? CONCLUSION When Buhari is ready for economic diversification, we will all know that. Forex restrictions aren't all that is needed to magically and forcefully turn an economy from a consuming one to a manufacturing one. China and co, didn't have such terrible infrastructures, poor power supply, etc. when they made the laudable jump to become the world's biggest manufacturing countries. Therefore, APC should stop comparing us to China in that regards. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

Minister of Agriculture under Buhari is not as efficient as the one under Jonathan. one was thinking of engaging the young people in agriculture and creating loans without interest to stem further investments in Agriculture in Nigeria the other is making plans to import grass to feed the cattle Tell me how we can diversify...

I know you are an IPOB supporter so I will tell you. Nigerians do not let tribalism, nepotism, bigotry and hate becloud our judgement. We voted out PDP simply because PDP ruled this country for 16 years with nothing to show for it. 1) PDP drilled the lake chad basin. Not APC. Not Buhari. 2) PDP devalued our currency and the oil prices have fallen. I know in PDP rule, rather than do the right thing and restrict foreign currency in the economy, they would devalue our currency so they can spend more coz US and EU told them to. 3) Nigerians want people who put the interest of the nation first. Not state, tribe, religion or whatever. As long as it benefits some or all groups of Nigerians in some way b4 it benefits any outsider or personal self. Most Nigerians know (except IPOB of course) that what PMB is doing, is what should have been done a very long time ago. Although it is now taking too long. 4) Most importantly, we know that for a country to prosper, we have to make sacrifices. Nationalism means individual groups will not be happy, Individuals may not happy but the nation, as a complete whole is better off. This simple concept, PDP did not understand. 5) Lastly, I love igbo people, and I can only thank God that many Igbo people do not share this delusional IPOB mentality. Anyone who votes PDP is the one allowing tribalism, nepotism, bigotry and hate becloud their judgement. Because i cannot see how any Nigerian would want even another day of PDP rule. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

senior123: Lemme address your points one after the other: Your number one shows you lack understanding and probably comprehension skills. You probably didn't see where I stated and with a link, that Buhari allocated N39.4 billion for oil exploration on the Lake Chad basin or you mischievously omitted it. Or was it PDP that forced Buhari to allocate such sum in this harsh economy with very low oil price? Wow! You need to sharpen your comprehension skills bro. Your number two lacks substance and makes no sense because it doesn't relate to the topic and content of this thread in anyway. Can you for once grow pass this PDP-APC nonsense? I believe you're an adult, so try and reason like one. On number three, what on earth is PMB doing? Taxing the masses to death and globetrotting while Nigerians live in darkness without fuel? If that is called working then sleeping all day is surely a hard work. Typical of zombified fellows. Check your replies and see that all it contains is hogwash and IPOB. Once again, grow up bro. Number four shows total lack of understanding and empathy from you. Surely you're not abreast of the cries of the masses but you want it to seem like all is well when in all sincerity, the country is far worse than PMB met it. Lastly, your comment is dumb and you're a typical case of pot calling plate black. You made no single sense and didn't even counter just one, I mean ONE of my points.

francizy: Off cuz all is not well.. We know this. I am angry too. I have to wake up at 5 in abuja now to get to work early, bcoz u will not even find bus and taxis, dont bother. Sometimes I have to walk to Wuse before i get any hope of movement. I am boiling too. But logically it is not Buhari's fault. We cannot be importing fuel when oil prices are this low. And given that oil prices have fallen, what we have or get from the oil, on which our economy is dependent must now be used wisely because we simply cannot afford to import all we used to import before. It is simple really, you eat Mr Biggs everyday because u earn 100,000 monthly. One day computer replaces ur job role and u get demoted. Now u earn 50,000 a month. You must now begin to eat Mama put, live in a smaller house or borrow money to continue ur 100,000 lifestyle until u find a new job and payback. What u owe depends on how long it takes to find a new job. Or you can just suck it up, live at ur 50,000 standard and upgrade ur skills so u don not get kicked out again while u find a job.

senior123: Keep fuel importation aside first. Now let's talk about the points I raised which you failed to address but rather chose to divert my attention to something else. What are Buhari's plans for economic diversification? Is it not the same commodity your talking about that Buhari allocated N39.4 billion for its exploration in the Lake Chad basin, after all past government have tried and failed in that aspect? Where is the power? Or is it not also Buhari's fault that we don't have power? Why did Buhari budget so little in areas that needed much attention and that may enable us achieve diversification but budgets so much on irrelelvances? Can a man who killed our dreams in Ajaokuta Steel, in the 80s, be trusted to revive such a massive company with so much potentials? Tackle my points and stop diverging bro.. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

francizy: Diversification of the economy is not going to happen over night. You can see how much they are investing in agriculture. Agriculture is a major selling point for African nations now because as the world runs out of food sources they hope African would feed them organic foods. So in about 4 years we should get it done. On power I never believed our money should be wasted developing power production plants like we did in the past. Or trying to revive the old model of Nepa. We need to invest in clean energy. The way we currently produce electricity is not sustainable and not good for the environment in the long run. I honestly do not want Buhari to invest anything in this PHCN. It is a waste of time. We must now move forward and utilize our energy bases in the country. How is it his fault? I do not understand you. If the production of power is dependent on the production or supply of any oil by-product, then obviously we wont have power until the oil problem is solved. We need to reduce our dependencies on oil AHHH. Oil for all the cars in Nigeria, Oil for power, Oil for production... there are better ways to do things. 1 Like |

Do you even know that the budget for Information and Culture ministry is approximately equal to that of Agriculture and Mines and Steel combined? You're talking about dependency on oil and the need to move away from oil, but failed to address the issue raised about Buhari's allocation for oil exploration in Lake Chad basin.

The main concern is that there is no blueprint plan on how to achieve economic diversification, nothing concrete for us to follow up on, and it is expedient that some issues have to be addressed and some sectors like power, industrial and even educational sectors have to be in better shape b4 dis diversification the government is talking about can be successful, then we face the challenge of continuity. I think where he got things wrong was the abrupt change he tried to implement without first surveying what's on the ground. His action backfired on the masses and the economy nose dived, or maybe thiS is d side effect of what he is implementing and after some time we will see that he has be pressing d right buttons in camera from the on-set. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Some figures in that budget sound like a joke, it feels like the government is still making oil its priority, as of the this time I feel almost equal attention should be paid to all the source of our resources, with the huge quantity and diverse resources that we have in this country, in a year or two with right application of brain and employing advanced nation's help, we might actually find ourselves free from over dependence on oil and have diverse job opportunities, revenue, foreign exchange and less dependence on importation. But first we need to step back and calculate where we go it wrong, dats what Mr president ain't doing. He needs to stop playing the blame game and start sensitizing Nigerians on solutions to the challenges. That's when the wailers might stop wailing. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Before his election, Buhari did the big talks, made so much noise about focusing on mining (of ores which we have in abundance). What happened now?

If they go ahead with their one meal a day plan, imagine what that would do for the agricultural sector. The budget for this is in the social intervention fund not the agric ministry's budget. So sometimes, these things may overlap. |

Instead of carrying on with one of the best programmes GEJ initiated, YouWiN, they decided to create one yeye one meal pa day programme. Engage the people in Entrepreneurship and see them feeding their children and by extension children of others, not you feeding their kids and leaving the father in penury. The reason GEJ's tenure provided a boast in Agriculture was because of his (Akinwumi Adesina) Agricultural policies and the YouWiN programme thru which they selected more Agro businesses than businesses from other sectors. A programme that selects about 1,200 - 1,500 participants pa year of which over 50% of the ideas/businesses are agro biz, why won't there be a boast in our Agricultural sector? Now can you kindly tell me how the budgetary allocation for other ministries with meagre funds overlap with other allocated funds? 2 Likes |

It is best to keep quiet than display utter ignorance. In the words of ab d rushin- it is a sin to say we knw, when actually, we only knew in part and not in totality. 1. Agricultural diversification started again with OBJ and after the complaints by CBN during GEJ's administration that billions of agricultural loans are returned every year because our youths refused to access them as much as they shld, then how is it sensible to increase something that always returns back unaccessed? 2. Oil exploration. While we plan to diversify, must we close the oil wells? Diversification means generating revenue through other means and not what u are thinking. Besides, must the drilling and exploration which has started during the PDP era, be abandoned? 3. Strict forex policy. How many times did we explain this part? You want diversification, but y'all want ready made imported products. CBN banned the use of forex on materials that can be produced locally and sought on the same medium. The truth is, people dnt even realise that there is a 220billon CBN laon that you can access so easily, if you ever think of going into the manufacturing sector. That is how well the govt meant her diversification mantra! Now, about your machines. Pls, patronize the local fabricators. They are as well as willing to meet your demand. China started with bamboos, now, they're there. 4. Power supply. I sure knw that you IPODs knw exactly howbwe for here. You all knw how the supply dropped! Few months back, we were rejoicing as abandoned power plants got fed with gas and power generation hit the all time high in the history if the nation. We thought we could only go further until your brothers, shielded by your sisters, started blowing up gas pipes and all that. Shebi we all watch CNN and local stations as the flames and fumes added to the already depleted ozone layer! Now. It is buhari's fault... Of course, he sponsored the 'Creek btothers' who were doing all that as a protest. 1 Like 1 Share |

By the way, if loans were'nt accessed, what happened to grants? On number two, you being mischievous. Several has come and tried and all indications are that oil ain't present in commercial quantity.

For example, if I want to establish an automobile coy, how do I get steel for parts of my car and cast iron for my engine when the Ajaokuta that's supposed to be providing us with such materials ain't even delivering and hence, making it quite cheap for one to import such from China? You have to ensure things are in place before taking touch decisions, unlike what we have presently.. I laughed out loud at your number four! Who's the C-in-C? Is it not Buhari? If he cannot provide security for pipelines and other facilities like that, then of what use is he as a president. Low power supply is def his fault because he failed to provide securities for those facilities.. 1 Like 1 Share |
