The OP or whoever that wrote that rubbish does not know the meaning of Recession. Probably they expect us to have more jobs while in recession. A Nigeria that couldn't even create jobs when were not in recession. Nigerians aint gullible anymore.
You are just stating the obvious by explaining to us what Recession even though your intention is bad

This population growth is one of the reasons I want Nigeria divided.

So there was a time unemployment 6.4% in Nigeria?

Chineke God, where were you!

The APC-led FG has been unable to handle the Nigerian economy properly. This has led to the unprecedented rise in unemployment rate from 6.4% in 2014, to 23.1% in 2018, puting families in pains and out of the street.

Extreme Poverty Looms As Nigerians Lose 20.9m Jobs In Three APC Years
The National Bureau of Statistics has released eye-popping figures about the woes of the Nigerian economy. The body amidst pressures from the FG, stated that 20.9 millions Nigerians have lost their jobs under the three and half years of President Buhari’s administration. This did not come as a surprise to the Nigerian public, as indicators in the economy have long shown an ailing economy.

It is noteworthy that Nigeria has over the last three years, become the headquarters of extreme poverty. This comes at a time when the inflation rate has risen from 8% in 2013/2014, to 15% in recent times. The affront on the Naira by the dollar in the past three years has led to 50% devaluation of the Naira, from 155 Naira in 2013/2014 to 365 Naira in 2018. This has led to prices of basic goods and services skyrocketing unimaginably. All of these are definitely due to the anti-business stance of the Buhari-led administration, which has endangered the economic environment of the country, leading to the exit of the country by top foreign companies.

The APC-led FG has been unable to handle the Nigerian economy properly. This has led to the unprecedented rise in unemployment rate from 6.4% in 2014, to 23.1% in 2018, puting families in pains and out of the street. These figures are not getting any better, unlike what the Buhari administration wants Nigerians to believe. The major opposition party candidate; Atiku Abubakar, has since made his campaign about jobs, jobs and jobs, brandishing plans to liberate the market and fund SMEs, so the private sector can drive the economy. This is highly likely, since the Presidential candidate; Atiku Abubakar and the VP; Peter Obi are proven employers of labor to the tune of over 50,000 employees between them.

Hence, the ball is on the court of Nigerians as they head to the Poll on February 2019, in a bid to validate or invalidate the various economic policies of the APC-Led FG.

POVERTY HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH US HERE IN NIGERIA BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPT TENDENCIES OF THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN POLITICIAN.

OUR POLITICAL CLASS HIJACK OUR COLLECTIVE COMMONWEALTH FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL AGRANDISEMENT.

THEY BELIEVE THAT NOTHING GOOD SHOULD DROP TO THE MASSES.

IT IS JUST BY THE GRACE OF GOD ALMIGHTY THE COMMON CITIZENRY IS LIVING.

WITH ALL THEIR STEALING AND COUNTER STEALING WE ARE STILL MATCHING ON WITH THE SUFFERING.

FELA ANIKULAKPO KUTI ( AFRO BEAT KING ) CALL IT "Suffering and Smiling"

Nigerians are suffering economic hardship yet we still smile as if nothing bad is going on.

In Nigeria pidgin english parlance. "NO BE TODAY YANSH DEY FOR BACK"

Our poverty is a traditional curse to Nigeria and our politician are very deceitful.

They are even finding it very difficult to make promises because they have exhausted almost all their political tricks from their magic box.

CORRUPTION CUT ACROSS THE RULING APC, AND PDP THE OPPOSITION PARTY INCLUDING OTHER POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE NIGERIA SOCIETY.

DO NOT GIVE CORRUPTION A ONE SIDED VIEW. IT CUT ACROSS THE DIFFERENT SEGMENT OF THE NIGERIAN SOCIETY.

BUT THE POLITICIANS ACROSS THE DIFFERENT SEGMENT OF NIGERIA IS THE WORST CULPRIT AS FAR AS GRAFT OFFENCES IS CONCERNED.

Immediately I saw inflation at 8% under Jonathan to 15% now, I stopped reading. Inflation has gone done drastically since the Jonathan days.
The only people I pity here are the unfortunate Nigerians that will just read the headlines and jump to the comment section to spew rubbish. If you guys make the sad mistake of allowing those scoundrels represented by Atiku and Saraki, to take over the reins of power, your ignorance would have cost you and your generations billions and billions of $USD that Saraki and Atiku are going to steal.
Please sit down and read the real NBS report and not the snippets that the likes of FFK and Reno are pushing around to push their evil agenda. Reno, with Abati, FFK and Okupe, was the ones distributing Jonathan's largesse to media houses before the 2015 elections. He hasn't stepped foot in this country since then for obvious reasons.
If you allow someone like that to influence the way you feel about the government back home, then I'm sorry for you!

yesterday I was at ikedc to activate our recently installed prepaid meter and u met different people who are tired about d way Nigeria has been crawling since independence. Most of us generate our power with generator, dig borehole to get our own water, grade our streets to make it motor able, provide security men to protect our communities etc, yet we pay taxes, strive hard to make ends meet. It is a thing of shame that in D 21st century we're yet to get things right.


U have a meter it's difficult for you to get it working. Nigeria no b country o.

Bring steady light to South East especially Aba and Onitsha and watch this ugly show reduce drastically. This act can influence Nigeria made products.

Empower the entrepreneur if not with anything at least with steady power electricity,our youths are willing but there's no help.

Reduce Fuel price at least to N100...this alone will bring down the cost of living.

Which was why IBB took power.

Pdp came along much later when buhari and his arny friends already destroyed your national potential.
