Someone who is the second largest employer apart from the government of the state, is it the rich he is employing? Someone that brought people from Bangladesh to run a micro finance bank to support poor people in adamawa as an individual.

The major reason why there is high level of unemployment is not the fall in oil price. But failure of leadership. Buhari started his one sided anti-corruption fight, made politicians to hide their money . And some joined APC and are still hiding their money safely.

But when you have business men like Atiku Obi in power, they will show the looters where to invest in Nigeria to create jobs, boost the economy and make profit. Because almost everyone in Nigeria has benefited in one way or the other in corruption. Do you think Ganduje is going to invest that $5 million? No he wants it in Foreign currency and cash so he can easily move it without trace .

$5 million stacked in agbada, is 181,000,000. That could have provided startup loan to 181 youths given 1 million as capital .

And the poor man that steals #500:end up in the jail or even burnt alive while the rich are given amnesty for stealing billions of naira meant for the generality of the people.I am telling you his government is for the bourgeoisie (the rich).

If the rich looters invested in Nigeria, there won't be poor to steal. So once you have business men at the top, the economy will become vibrant. Those countries they take that money to, are using it to create jobs for their own people.

How many poor people has he elevated from poverty? If he has then the state government and him alone won't be only employer of labour in his state.He built schools Hw many poor man can afford the school fees? He built schools yet the northerners are the most uneducated people in Nigeria.this is what president Buhari is correcting. People are now going to school and over one million children are fed every school days.Bro government is all about people,people and people.

mekaboy:
After watching Buhari and Atiku on the candidates, I have come to the conclusion that Buhari was right about Nigerian Youths being lazy. I choose to concentrate on Buhari and Atiku because they are the two most popular candidates with stronger party structure.

The youths watched the interview of two teams. One team believes .

One who could not understand questions . One that believes that the best way to grow the economy is increase tax of already struggling businesses and borrow more.

While the other believes in reducing tax, bringing in more investors who will create more jobs and then more people will be in the tax net as a result of employment.

One team believes that empowerment for youths is by paying people who studied medicine, engineering, pharmacy etc 30k to go and teach primary school children religious knowledge primary school.

While the other believes in working with banks to reduce interests rates on loans to empower startups.

They look at one team that has been successful in business with evidence of turning $30 million to $100 million in just 1 investment.

Left 75 billion in cash and investments for a state, which has never been done in Nigeria. With moderator admitting that Atiku is the second largest employer apart from government. That he has invested in both Education, health and finance as an individual.



Yet the other has never done any business outside government or employed anyone outside government. While Peter obi has shown evidence of his ability to bring international investors into Nigeria, by the Anambra example..
While one team goes about painting the image Nigeria black and expecting investors to come, the other team believes in selling the potentials of the nation and reducing tax to attract investors. Are we surprised that we are losing investors to Ghana?


Instead of being motivated by the business acumen of the innovative team, they tag it corruption.

So I have come to the conclusion that the youths supporting buhari are truly the lazy youths that are afraid to think outside the box. They are afraid to start something from scratch and grow it. They are afraid to venture into business. They just want to work for government and do nothing meaningful with their lives.

They see that 30k as gainfully employed . While over 20 million real jobs have been lost in banks, telecoms etc, they see 30k job of teaching and wasting potentials as real jobs.

Yet the world richest men today are products of a private sector driven economy. Imagine if the founders of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Alibaba etc were paid 30k to teach in the villages or given 10k in 4 years as trader money?

So it is clear to me today that Nigerian Youths are truly lazy as buhari said and just want to sit and be paid for doing nothing. If not, why will any youth still support buhari after watching Atiku?

Point of Correction....

Yoruba Youths and not Nigerian Youths are Lazy.

Leave them! We shall meet at the poll
The thief invested $30million state fund into his family business and they called him a genius
Even if he turned it to $1 trillion, a thief is a thief, it’s not done anywhere
He should try it in USA or China then see if he won’t be killed or given life sentence

Nigerians are really at the crossroads. This I'd not unconnected with recent experience from revelations of grand theft. They are faced with tough choices, the APC / doctor who has somehow become the patient and the carrier of the virus/ PDP.

It appears the trend is to follow those who claim to correct the ills and fear those who want to come back to resume work.

My fear , on a personal note is that this virus will develop strains that will endure that no Buhari type trashes their efforts when they resume work. I would have wanted a situation where PDP wins this election and revenge / investigate APC too. By the time we have three or four changes in government, everybody will sit up.

May the best man win.

There is a problem with your comprehension. Schools that are on strike? When over 20 million jobs are lost? What is he correcting? When you can't increase teachers salary, how will education improve? Everything has increased including transport, how o their parents afford to take them to school? isn't it better he uses that money for to improve the welfare of the teachers? If more Nigerians are getting educated will he be have anyone to vote him? He is banking on poverty and illiteracy.

One will give amesty to looter and perhaps insert corruption in our constitution.

I think the reverse is the case here, buhari is the virus, what we now have in a APC are those who did not have opportunity to loot, joined by those who looted before. So the result is higher corruption as shown by transparency international. But corruption does not scare investors, what scares them is a leader that has no regards for the rule of law, and one who is unable to sell opportunities to them.

That is why trump met him and allegedly called him lifeless.

earthsync:



Show the looters where to invest? Christ! I give up

Looters like Ganduje,Buhari is endorsing will bring out the money

Hasn't buhari already raised the hand of the chief looter and asked the people of Kano to reelect him to reloot?

We are saying the same thing. The governing word here is "virus" . I also talked about the doctor becoming the patient.

Yes, corruption does not scare investors because many of them exploit it. Disregard for the rule of law and "purchasing " judgment are sides of the same coin.Both are wrong. We are in dire straits, I tell you

The agreement held between ASSU and government that led to strike was entered by your PDP government which they failed to fulfil, back then in 2010 i was also affected so is not a new issue.talkig about unemployment, the textile industry, Michelin all closed down during PDP regime so what r utalking about? 500,000 people were employed by Buhariled government.It has never happened any where in the world.mean while you sound like a teacher.

You may be right, value of money isn’t the same, but also our GDP has grown from around $35 billion in 1999 to $481 billion in 2015. Guess what it is now under Buhari? $375 billion, that’s insane! Someone who does not understand basic questions asked by a moderator cannot run an economy talkless fight corruption.

We will find out this month like you said, if people want to move forward from where we were in 2015, or move backward all the way to 1983.

20 million real jobs - 500,000 fake peanuts = 19,500,000. Since he can't solve PDP problems, he should step aside for PDP to solve it.

Our population was growing when MTN,Airtel, DSTV .etc came to Nigeria to create employment. It was growing when all these banks you know today came up under the 16 years. Even this platform you are using to type this thing came up in the 16 years of PDP. All of a sudden population becomes the problem.

If the government understands business and economics, the population would have been an asset rather than a liability.

All the billionaires in the world capitalized on population to become rich.

So you have further proven that this administration has no where to hide their failure.

Anytime I put whatever component of our GDP against our population, I wonder how we can make it.

Consider crude oil USD 60, production sharing agreement with oil companies at 60/40, cash call at 60/40, you have USD 36 per barrel. Where will that take us?

First of all, are u referring to the same Ngige in Buhari's administration
Obi is not known for any meaningful development. Since ngige, nobody have really done much till the current governor perhaps

And innoson motors can never be credited to Peter obi! period

You wish. Come to Anambra and speak ill of Obi and be lynched by the millions of common street men he has touched their lives through grassroot-based governance.
You guys find it hard to believe Obi's larger-than-life reputation because your sophisticated Western governors have failed you people and you wish the failure is universal. It really takes so much to be Igbo.

socialmediaman:


Don’t you think millions of Nigerians want to turn back the clock a little to 2015 when there was some hope and also due process?

So let’s say it’s not Buhari’s fault but lack of money, what is he still doing as president since he can’t fix it? When OBJ became president in 1999, there was lack of money too, oil sold for less than $29 for some time, but he and Atiku fixed it by privatizing public companies and attracting investors, which Buhari can’t do due to his ethnic bias, current mental state and lack of economic management skills.

What's this one even saying? You forgot to say that during the time of Obasanjo, 5naira could buy 10 wraps of groundnut. 10naira could buy you a plate of rice at school which I did then hence $29 per a barrel of crude oil was a lot of money in those days and it didn't even take long before the price even got consecutively increased.

Apart from the fact that things have changed and our money is not as valuable as it was, crude oil's price has remained low under Apc for 4yrs now. How did you expect the state of bouyancy to improve at that rate?
