SoNature:


Oga, stop making a baseless argument

Even the education you are talking about falls under infrastructure
Infrastructure is a broad concept

Students won't learn under the tree or without classrooms...lab and the rest

That aside, I believe that Nigeria’s biggest problem is weak institutions

If Nigeria was configured for people in power to have limits, we wouldn't be where we are

Look how they are probing a sitting president in the US

If our institutions are not strong, Nigeria will always remain a joke

Yes, Nigeria is a joke

EternalTruths:




Without Technical Education and Business Grants, even if a nation has 24hrs electricity, good roads etc, industrialization that leads to job creation might not be achieved.


This is a basic fact you guys don't understand.


Nigeria should focus more on Technical Education and Business Grants while not neglecting infrastructural development.

EternalTruths:



You are always shouting infrastructure without seeing the real problem.


Why is Togo, Benin, Ivory Coast, Cameroon etc not doing fine despite having steady light, good roads etc.?

ORIENTATION101:
i guess you didnt read the article
.
she did so under obj but could replicate the same performance under Gej this means she cant take the glory except obasanjo

Do a research on this question and you understand that that guy is right.

kenex4ever:
air heads everywhere.

Receive sense.

Why can't obj do it without her influence? Obj hired her because of her records.

U guys are funny, when dat Yoruba guy performed well under GEJ, you condemned GEJ n praised your brother, now it's not NOI dat reduced our debt but OBJ

AAlozie:
You replaced a seasoned economist with someone without N.Y.S.C certificate. What do you expect?
Besides, it's "like Buhari, like Kemi". Both are highly incompetent.

Daejoyoung:

The truth is Nigeria already have many entrepreneual citizens and the basis for a good private sector, we are 180 million people, these countries are small but also have corrupt African leaders impeding growth e.g Togo and Cameroon. lvorycoast and Benin republic would have to free themselves from the cfa currency and the shackles of Frances.

erico2k2:

I never knew Obasanjo was a finance minister . Good to know thanks for the info

Jaqenhghar:


Actually its you who should take your advice

ORIENTATION101:
how is she going to relief nigeria of debt when major source of forex fall from 120 to 25 .
should kemi be printing dollars to sustain an spend thrift economy which madam okonjo was already told us to brace up for hard times when under her watch nigeria was borrowing to pay salaries when crude was at 78$.
okonjo inheritted more than 47 billions dollars in foreign reserve when crude oil was 100 to 140 for two and half years she never saved a penny and foreign reserve was depleted .and left huge debt ranging from subsidy and federal govt contractors . kemi with meagre resources was able to clear the mess and grow foregin reserve.

kemi deserves accolades

Jaqenhghar:

Brother dont waste you breath trying to show them the way. Even Bill Gates who tried to tell them they insulted him calling him a school drop out

erico2k2:

ORIENTATION101:
infact ngozi was the Gcfr that append signature and give approval for signing of loans and budget

Iamgrey5:
like I stated earlier, it will do you a lot good to study basic economics before coming online to show your ignorance.

Iamgrey5:
Economic development is process bro, it is not achieved overnight

Togo Benin and Cameroon don't always have good roads or steady electricity before now. Some of these countries still require billions of dollars in investment to catch with the rest of the world.


Nonetheless, ever since they got these set of basic infrastructure in place, these nation's economy have being improving steadily.

Even China and India didn't just happen overnight?

Still, both China and India still have over 100millon people living below poverty despite their obvious double digits economic growth down the years.


You just can't build a skilled work force without an enabling environment, who is going to hire them, where will they work? Who is going to provide funds for them assuming they all want to start producing by themselves?

You ponder on those points I raised above and come up with answers

ochallo:


You must be truly mad because the only reason ngozi and oshiomole are at loggerheads is because she stopped all borrowing of the governors.

babaolofin:


Obasanjo was not a Finance Minister but had initiatives & connections with leaders all over the world that changed situations.

The IBOs are the majority of ignorant & lazy youths fighting psychological warfare online. Ngozi Okonjo - Iweala is a failure who is supposed to be tried with her accomplices if Nigeria were to be China. In her book, she was defending herself. Peter Obi also tried to defend her by saying opposition & governors made her to share the money they looted.

What saved them is Emefiele at CBN. Buhari is only being magnanimous by giving him chance to complete his tenure. President Buhari has given the reason why he gave him a benefit of doubt. The actual reminant out of the $50 billion inherited from Obj as at May 29, 2007 was around $26 billion as May 29, 2015. As at today, the reserve is over $44 billion.

Okonjo - Iweala that was brought to testify against Obj during Yaradua govt when Ndi Elumelu led committee on power was probing Obj. Mrs Amina statement was misrepresented & misinterpreted. Igbos are propaganda expert.

GEJ & Okonjo - Iweala left Nigeria highly indebted as at May 29, 2015 despite making the HIGHEST REVENUE in the history of Africa till date saving no KOBO, spent everything, borrowed & depleted inherited reserve by over $20 billion. The god of Nigeria will never forgive them. They borrowed to pay salary before they handover to PMB

Obj inherited $5.5 billion from Military as at May 29, 1999 & left over $50 billion as at May 29, 2007. CBN & DMO should tell us the total debt as at May 29, 2015

Jaqenhghar:

Says the ignorant one. SMH

ochallo:


Okonjo never saved a penny. Are you mad?

ORIENTATION101:
crack head can ngozi pay nigeria debt without approval of obj

GavelSlam:


What good roads in Ivory Coast?

You guys make me laugh. No be the same Abidjan wey I don go before even this year?

No doubt, educational quality must be refocused but would commerce be sacrificed for this?

Would you retrench the overbloated civil service in between?

Would electricity be put on the back burner in between?

Would you accept this strategy yourself?

EternalTruths:




Take note based on real observation.


Nigeria don't have sufficient entrepreneurs.


Why do you think that Nigerians are the largest refugees in Europe from a country that is not experiencing war.


Let's take Buhari for example


How many people has Buhari given business grants worth #3m to start up a business with.?



Also, do you know why many people migrate to Lagos if truly they are lots of entrepreneurs.?



My brother, it takes more than infrastructure to develop a country.

ORIENTATION101:
foolish goat.

Tell us the amount we had in foreign reserve and excess crude oil account when Gej handover to buhari

CSTR1005:

Illiterate.
NOI was a senior member of the World Bank then.
Obj hired her for her connection, and not the other way round.

Look at where she is, and where obj currently is.

Which of them is the bigger global player right now. ?

The way your Yoruba illiterates just turn facts on the head is outstanding.

EternalTruths:




Well, I don't need to argue with you but take note of this fact below

No Matter The Level Of Infrastructural Development, Without Technical Education and Business Grants, SMEs Which Are The Main Employers Of Labor, Creators Of Products & Wealth and Platforms To Groom More Dangotes, Won't Proliferate(Increase).

kenddys:
sometimes I wonder if kemi did any course relating to the finance industry

Daejoyoung:

l am not a zombie, but what you wrote up there is pure bullshit. You need infrastructure such as power, rails, good roads, mass housing, health and educational facilities to grow the economy and also the people ( the middle class and the poor especially).
