You see, you don't need to be a career economist for you to know that the only sensible way out of this APC FG induced recession is for the FG to increase spending!!!Why keep funds that banks were using to do business in CBN vaults all in the name of TSA?FG should kick start the recovery process by releasing money into the system by carrying out capital projects which will create jobs.This will help in the...
This simply shows that APC is confused.How can importation of refined petroleum be cheaper than locally refined one considering all the associated administrative and import/export plus transportation and storage costs involved?This does not make any sense at all.Put differently, perish the idea of local refineries and prepare for increased pump price without any end in sight.May be God is just trying to teach us a very hard lesson for preferring lies, misinformation and propaganda to the...
Olusegun Obasanjo ranks no 1 when it comes to sourcing for and making use of Nigerians to tackle problems in Nigeria as president regardless of ethnic and religious considerations.Late Sani Abacha ranks no 1 when it comes to maintaining the dignity and pride of Nigerians as a leader in spite of his short comings.Let President Muhammadu Buhari practice what these 2 men did while in office and see if we will not overcome the current challenges...
Refusing to accept responsibility is corruption.I went to extend the validity period of the photocopy of my driver's license that I have been carrying around for almost 2 years since completing the entire process involved in acquiring a new drivers license.By the way, my wife collected hers a few months after we completed the process yet we applied the same time and did the capture same day.Based on experience I came prepared with 2 fresh photocopies...
Is Nigeria the only country in the world that witnessed drop in crude oil price even though it has gone up again?Even some African nations that export crude oil are doing better than Nigeria in terms of currency value and state of the economy in those countries.President Buhari, please look beyond the 97% people and ask or beg the likes of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala to come and help solve this economic problem we are facing because...
He visited Nimbo and pledged to set up a vigilante project that will police all the LGAs in the state. I believe he pledged N100m.He left Enugu and went to see the president over the same issue and to the best of my knowledge the president condemned the attacks (the first time he did so) and promised to do whatever it would take to arrest the perpetrators of the crime. Some of the attackers were arrested.He...
Nationalist: a person who advocates political independence for a country.Tribalist: an advocate or practitioner of strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group.Based on the above definitions all Nigerians are tribalists!!!After Nigeria gained independence from the British in 1960 any Nigerian claiming to be a nationalist is either confused or doesn't really understand the meaning of the word 'nationalist'.Name one Nigerian that you believe can be referred to as a nationalist assuming we even modify...
Today makes it 1 week that I stopped taking the ulcer medicine from my Hausa friend.I needed to be sure so I waited for 7 days before posting this.The same ulcer I was certain was either going to kill me due to the unbearable pains or linger for a very long time coupled with the serious pains is gone and my diet didn't really change and hasn't changed.When I asked my friend how long I was...
