unsustainable loan equally means selling collateral cheaply. or how are we to pay $150m world bank polio loan, or $2.1bn loan to finance 7 projects which isn't self sustainable. or is it still this 1.8bpd crude oil we bank on. well just like a man like obasanjo came back to clean up the debt mess of buhari/babangida/abacha loan when it was at $30bn collectively, let see how they pay back the current over $65bn debt by Jonathan/buhari. else we can forget assets like apapa port, abuja/Lagos/kano airport, LNG bonny, Kaduna and warri refinery |

weyreypey: from my own views, we can still pay back, through serious fiscal responsibility. cut all useless government spending, no more security votes, no more constituency project, no more travelled allowance and estacodes, no more bogus office running cost. in addition all federal roads should be tolled and people pay per km travelled, heavy truck should be badly tolled and tax, railway must tackle huallage problems. people like dangote should partner with Nigerian Railway cooperation. each ministry must generate money before been given allocation. health ministry should get paid from health insurance, and medical center should be upgraded to foreign standard and start reducing medical tourism, ministry of works must start handling construction contacts rather than giving out contracts. ministry of water can make so much from municipality portable water 1 Like |

iammo:It's not as easy as you analyse. Buhari has borrowed twice what PDP borrowed in 16 years! In 2017 alone, Nigerian government made ₦1.1 trillion from oil and spent ₦1.8trillion servicing debt! When I say servicing debt, I am not referring to repaying the debt. I am saying that ₦1.8 trillion was used to pay the INTEREST on the debt. The PRINCIPAL is not even being touched. It is your children and grandchildren that Buhari wants to pay his debts. Now tell me how we can pay this huge interest and still manage to repay the loan capital in this generation? 2 Likes |

gentlegenius: the moment Nigeria government starts seeing it self as a profitable service provider to a large market of 189 citizen the sooner we are out of the debt. all Nigerian problem is a potential money spinner for the government dangote knows this too well. but as usual the mentality indoctoring of the salary earning Coupist ruler we have had in the past about government not having business doing business is our downfall. a fully functional ajaokuta can generate so much steel we'd be exporting steel based products in million tonnes. Dubai a desert earns so much from municipality pipe water supply northern Nigeria can earn double that from water. think about fuel usage imagine Nigeria getting to refine 60m litters daily. we can slowly turn all our problems to big money spinners |

Racoon: while its important to marvel at the impending calamity of the debt, and horrible performance of this government. it would be positive and productive for us all who understand the enormity of the problem, to start thinking of a solution, so as to be able to compare our ideas with the manifestos of the another political party, so as to quickly detect fraudulent campaign promises as 2019 is fast approaching. I do ask that we also talk about solutions to savage our nation, as major ideas are shared and gotten from simple national discuss like this CC; gentlegenius , weyreypey |

weyreypey:I agree, but we hastely got rid of Jonathan, only to replace him a disaster who in short while doubled all the nation missery. so I really think we should take time with the sorting process of who rules us and what are they offering |

iammo:Agreed. But I think this country is doomed... Unless a miracle happens... Leading politicians are open sepulchres no interest of the masses at all. In Ghana you use your personal car and govt gives you a stipend for fueling. In Nigeria these criminals use bogus convoys including Yusuf Buhari with a BMW power bike |

iammo:Thanks for pointing this out... Only a clueless person will complain about problems without thinking of the solutions. Like someone said above, the first solution to this menace is voting out buhari by next year, because he doesn't even see our huge debts as a problem. Then our next president must begin to think more about repaying the debt than borrowing more money. But even if he borrow, it must be spent on projects that will generate income for the government. Debt is not really a bad thing. Some countries have used debts to progress. It is what the government does with the borrowed money that matters. There are two types of debt - good and bad. Good debt are asset to the debtor, while bad debt are liabilities. How you use the borrowed money determines the type of debt you acquire for yourself(in this case, for our country). The question now is what does buhari do with all the money he borrowed? Here are the answers... 1. Fuel subsidy: Buhari's government promised to stop fuel subsidy but now they are spending about 2.4 billion Naira everyday on fuel subsidy. Imagine a country that is blessed with abundant oil, selling crude oil to other countries and buying petrol from them at a cost that is nearly 3 times higher than the cost of crude oil. All this is because buhari cannot maintain a single refinery even when he promised to rehabilitate all our refineries. 2. Importation: Early last year, Buhari came up with a list of commodities that he forbids Nigeria from importing. Today, we still import those things and even more. Until we learn to produce what we consume, we'll never get out of debt. Today, Nigeria sell sugarcane to France and import sugar from them. In 1957, Nigeria was the world’s largest palm oil exporter and was responsible for 43% of global palm oil production. Countries like Malaysia were coming to learn palm oil production from us. In 2018 Nigeria is an importer of palm oil, spending $500 million importing it from Asian countries including Malaysia. 3. Privatization: In the days of military rule, our past military presidents build world class industries like the Ajakota Steel company, Aluminum Smelter company etc. When these companies were functioning, Nigeria was exporting steel and aluminum to other countries. When they stopped functioning Nigeria choose to import steel and aluminum from other countries while those industries lies wasting. When democracy resurfaced in 1999, our leaders will keep promising us during campaigns for election that they'll rehabilitate those ailing industries only to end up selling them off through privatisation. Because of poor management, our leaders choose to sell off our assets that could have produced money for us and then rushed to borrow money from other countries just to spend. Until we start making money from our assets instead of selling them off, Nigeria will never stop borrowing. For buhari in just 3 years to borrow more money than the entire PDP 16 years in power is not actually the problem, but the issue is: If for example he was using all these money to build new refineries or rehabilitate the old one, by now Nigeria would have been exporting petrol instead of importing. And the next leaders that succeed him would find it easier to pay back the loans. I am afraid but if buhari rules Nigeria again for another 4 years, it will come to a time that he'll be borrowing from Japan to pay the interest on the loan he took from China. This will happen when he finish selling all our assets. Right now, we shouldn't think of how to pay back our debts, but we should focus on how to stop borrowing and increasing our debt. If can survive without borrowing money, then we can focus next on projects that will generate more income to the government, before we can be able to pay back our debts. In my own estimate, this might take us more than 30 years to achieve. And this means if we don't vote out buhari and restructure the country now, the future of our children and grandchildren is doomed. 1 Like |
