STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

GAINS WE’VE MADE ON DIFFERENT FRONTS, BY PRESIDENT BUHARI IN MEETING WITH BRITISH P.M

President Muhammadu Buhari Monday brought British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, up to speed with developments in Nigeria, reeling out gains in different areas of national endeavour.

The two leaders met on the sidelines of the UK-Africa Investment Summit 2020, in London, and President Buhari told P.M Johnson of strides in agriculture, leading almost to self-sufficiency in rice and other grains, saving the country billions in foreign exchange, which are now deployed to other areas of development.

On the war against insurgency, the President said things were a lot better, with the disabuse of the minds of the people on the true philosophy of Boko Haram, and the main challenge being in the area of resettling displaced people, which is being tackled frontally.

“We have a long history with the British military, and we are collaborating,” President Buhari added.

On the anti-corruption war, the President said though it was slow but painstaking, the cooperation of the National Crime Agency of UK was still needed, particularly in the investigation of fugitives from Nigeria finding accommodation in the United Kingdom.

Climate change, President Buhari said, was a challenge to Nigeria and neighbouring African countries, especially with the shrinkage of the Lake Chad to a minuscule of its original size.

The Nigerian Leader also said the country was focused and making progress on education, particularly that of the girl child.

P.M Johnson thanked President Buhari for being a regional leader who gives strong encouragement to the West, congratulating him on jobs being created through agriculture, and urging him to do more.

He equally lauded the Nigerian President for what he calls the “social and economic benefits” that have accrued to the country since he emerged, and that the necessary hand of fellowship would be extended on the war against corruption, through the National Crime Agency.

The British P.M pledged to cooperate with Nigeria and other African countries in the inter-basin water transfer, which could solve the Lake Chad problem, and enhance security in the sub-region.

On the Commonwealth Free Trade Area, being espoused by President Buhari, the Prime Minister applauded the idea, and pledged a careful consideration.

He charged the Nigerian Leader to keep the national autonomy of his country intact, noting that in the future, Nigeria would not just be a continental but international power.

Just negodu?
Scores of soldiers are killed by insurgents almost on a daily basis and this man is talking of progress.

Progress on education with the inpending ASUU strike and the terrible states of Almajiri schools?

BORDER CLOSURE: THE FATE OF PETER - A ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL SCENARIO.

Lagos is what it is, because of its proximity to the seaport, so also is the border to many communities, town and villages which have existed close to it. The border closure to those living very close to the border is more like shutting down the seaport in Lagos. Sure, transport workers would be affected, those who earn a living around the port would surely lose their businesses, the rich would become poor, likewise the poor become poorer.

15 out of the 36 States in Nigeria has communities which has since it's origin built their day to day living around the border. Either those who specialize in transporting goods from the borders, to those who Warehouse them, to those who haulage the goods to and fro between the vehicles and the warehouse to Mama-Put who is waiting for the labourers to retire to her shed as they celebrate their day pay, to the business man who lodged in an hotel monitoring the goods to ensuring they are intact, to the mechanic who prays one of those vehicles running haulage comes to service their vehicle, to the spare part seller, to the provision sellers that believes more money in circulation would stimulate her business and the little kid who was driven from school hoping his parents would have made enough sales to pay a part of his school fee, to the principal, teachers, printer, tutorial coach and the list is endless.

Then it hits them so hard that the border where their incomes comes from been closed. At first, everyone keeps hoping high, hoping the border closure won't last more than few days, everyone is smiling not knowing the kind of situation and mess that lies ahead. Spendings are still as though nothing happened. Hopes are high, expectations and optimism eventually losing momentum like a spinning fan which has been disconnected from electricity. The longer their hopes linger, the more their ability to stay hopeful fades. Hope deferred makes the heart sick.

As times goes on, businesses fold up, the town's become deserted, loans cannot be paid, properties are confisticated, dehumanizing thoughts rage, people take to drugs to subside tension and griefs. The young boy who gets enough income to sustain himself has no where to run to. Crimes in the society begins to be on the rise and as he tune to his television having ran out of DSTV subscription, he finds on NTA a well dressed man with nice trimmed beard saying to him, how the border closure has boost production in his company. Its merely a scenario of Peter robbing Paul the poor boy reflects as he feel the whole narrative was a scam. While Peter is lamenting seeking media attention to express his ordeal. The media are after Paul who is rejoicing that the economy is booming since that's the purpose of their existence.

Comparative advantage was one of those favorite topic my economics mind would never forget, in comparative advantage, we are told that, its better that a country produce a goods if its final price would be lesser or equal to that from another location.

So far so good, ever since the closure of the border, cost of rice has skyrocketed despite the fact that the quality of the locally produced rice is lower and the stones which are a bonus too.

Well, I am not really against border closure, at least why do we have leaders if they can't come up with policies. At least, policies are policies whether they favour the dying man or not. But my bullseye is this, now that the border has been closed. How would those who are affected survive?

See lies. It's well o



Buhari is a man with zero integrity.

The lie lie master. The Almighty liar. The greatest con man alive. I salute you general Buhari.
