excess4luv: I could say the same thing you said about GEJ's regime for the Gowon, Obasanjo and Shagari';s regime up to 1982. That ie because of high oil prices....there appeared to be plenty for all. But GEJ's prosperity.....and the prosperity of the Gowon, Obj 's first coming and Shagari was that it was dependent on high commodity prices. Or why would Okonjo Iweala be telling people in 2015 that even in the event of a GEJ win......there would be hardship. I hate to break it to you.....but GEJ's regime was a failure. It did not rid us of our dependency of oil It did not tell Nigeria the truth...that we were really a poor nation posing with money we did not have. And PMB too should wake up to that reality.....and force Nigeria on the path that serious nations have gone through. The path of industries and freedom from oil dependency.(Not car assembly plants that drain our oil revenues). Oil is not our friend. 3 Likes |

dynamite11:Dont worry, in the interim, we are already sending distress calls to the UN, UNICEF & other world bodies about the emergency situation of things in Nigeria. Any further delay could lead to the death of millions & worsen security in the Sahel region. I just got exclusive info that Ban Ki Moon just called for a meeting to address the hunger problem in Nigeria. Its like a war zone, God help us all!!! 2 Likes |

Quakertellicus1:You must be the guy with that 'bushdoc' moniker, Anyways, I know one thing and one thing only; The hardship being experienced by Nigerians is as a result of Buhari's nonsense economic policies, incompetence, and stupidity. Please don't blame it on oil price. Besides, Didn't he promise to stabilize oil price? 5 Likes 1 Share |

it is better to suffer for a few time and enjoy later than to suffer a little and enjoy less all in the name of corruption. Feeling for the victims anyway but the best is yet to come. My opinion anyways. |

In the market yesterday, a lady came to collect the Ugwu (leaves) thrash from the seller. She was obviously going to salvage what ever she can from the thrash *shaking my head*. Sometime ago, my neighbour came home from a trip to meet that someone had sneaked into his home. He discovered that the person watch movies with his laptop while relaxing with a plate of rice made from the rice he had at home. There was some left over in the pot in the kitchen. But he met his laptop where the person used it. obviously its easier to get food than sell a laptop in this hard times. 4 Likes |

D reality is dat sm poor economic countries always hurt d economy to feed his ppl. Go to all dis central african countries and see hw even d poorest man feeds well, cos food are made cheap in those countries.

Rayhutar: It is incorrect to say that oil prices were as low as 50 dollars during GEJ's time in office.....they were always higher than $80 and from 2011-14 were never below $100 per barrel.Buhari met oil at 70-60 dollars....and it went down to below 30 dollars for severalmonths....before it rose to 50 dollars. Even at 50 dollars.....Nigeria needs oil to be at 123 dollars per barrel to balance the books. It was around that level for most of GEJ;s regime...that is why we were able to stay ''rich'' (And by the way, zombies do not exist. Stop watching those American B-movies. Can be bad for the ocular health and all that). One other thing about oil (resource) dependency.....you keep spending money....even during times of plenty. To the point that you even take the loans like a sinking man both before and after the oil prices drop. My point is.....Nigeria is not a rich nation....and our leaders, APC or PDP better face this fact by getting us off oil. 4 Likes |

SeverusSnape: Snapers, you did not get me fully. I wrote what I wrote not as a defense of Buhari...but as an explanation of our economic problems....and as a means to point out that even if we get oil prices to rise to $123 dollars per barrel..which is where we need it at to be rich....it does not mean that we are a successful nation. Thing is....whoever took over in 2015...should have done the following....told us we are poor.....increased spending on power, education and transport....and cut spending elsewhere (including state house)..and cut costs elsewhere....then after five years....given loans and grants to people willing to set up industries....which would be made possible with improved power and transport..... Anything to get us off oil . 3 Likes |

One more thing, before i go....I advise people to read this quote... The Dutch disease occurs when the traditional export (tradable goods) sector is crowded out by the booming export sector and the non-tradable goods sector. The lagging traditional tradable goods sector may include cocoa, palm produce, cotton, rubber, coal, copper, textiles and some manufactured goods while the booming export sector may be crude oil, coffee, gold, etc. The non-tradable (non-export) goods sector covers all those goods that are produced for domestic consumption only, e.g. staple food items, clothing, building materials, locally-assembled cars. Where crude oil (and gas) is the booming export sector, the non-oil export sector may be crowded out by the oil sector and the non-tradable goods sector of the economy. Source:here 1 Like |

I was almost moved to tears reading this article. This story is very real and yes, Nigeria has gotten to this level. Someone I know with 7 kids distributed his kids amongst relatives months ago in the guise of summer holiday and has refused to come get them several despite calls and ultimatums from relatives yet the dude is still playing hide and seek with his kids to ease the financial burden of feeding them daily. In a country where petty criminals get burnt alive for steal maggi cubes is it not justifiable that our politicians should be the ones at the recieving end? The story of the woman that stole baby food from an upscale supermarket to feed her starving baby some weeks ago comes to mind. This is not what life is supposed to be and Nigerians need to demand more from their leaders and hold them accountable. How a sitting president will be traveling all over the place and jailing the opposition yet turn a blind eye to the hunger ravaging his country is beyond my imagination. One thing is for sure, at this rate It will be several years before APC wins another presidential election....Nigerians cannot be fooled again. Enough is enough. 5 Likes |

omojoshy: Will you guys stop with this lame excuse....six month into Buhari'd government, we understand, not almost a year and half u are still giving this pathetic excuse. Do u know how much this country is worth? Do u know how much is generated daily from crude oil sales and IGR daily for the past 365 Plus days? And u are here spewing jargons while people are starving. What has this government done or sacrifice for the masses, instead they continued the same extravagant life style like all other previous government. Somebody said above that if the is no corruption, there will be no suffering. So the increased suffering going on right now wld give you an idea of the level of corruption going on in this current administration. We shld stop defending the indefensible and say the truth when we need to. 1 Like |
