I always take Prof Charles Soludo's postulations very serious. If he says something just know that he has done his calculation very well before saying it. Be rest assured there be no mistake because Prof doesn't do wuruwuru to the answer. cheesy

soludo is brilliant bt also very reckless. They're were high risks in the banking sector due to his banking reforms. That's was what Sanusi came to sanitise and caused hos own wahala.

He is not the cause of Buhari
The propagandas and lies against his govt championed by the south west from the home of Tinubu brought Buhari
And the fact that the northerners felt cheated because to them, after 8yrs of OBJ, a northerner is supposed to rule for another 8yrs but the death of Yaradua changed everything.
GEJ was not supposed to contest 2015 election. The handwriting was already there from 2011 election that the North were angry.
I just pray nothing happen to Tinubu. We may likely witness the toxicity of 2008 to 2015 if Shettima is to assume power as the president. But the Southern part is not united
All these constant fight and attacks between the igbos and the yorubas need to stop now.
We all from the South need to unite.
The yorubas are in power, they are representing the entire South. They are supposed to be championing peace and unity of the South not trying to make the igbos the scapegoat.
If by mistake anything happened to Tinubu(God forbid), the SW will learn a bitter political lesson when the north grabs power and refused to release it.
The igbos will never support them
We from SS may likely not support them based on what they did to our GEJ.
They are supposed to be mending fences with the entire South now that they have gotten what they wanted
.
The North are only interested in power, they are never ur friends.
I hope the SW learn

If Shettima enters as President, he will Rule for 40YEARS, and nobody will make peem.🤨😕

You know why?

OBidients, Igbos, PDP and Every Opposition will look the Other Way.😏

They will be Like 'Let Yorubas or SW Goan Fight him. Let them go Fix the Disaster themselves'. 😕😌

Then bubu came in with his fulaninomics and put Nigeria vehicle into reverse gear running at jet's speed .
I have no iota of doubt in my mind that PBAT will perform, who comes after from the north is the problem.

Elrufai, Sanusi, Atiku and probably shetima (if he learns well) won't be a problem...
But the rest I no sure

Yatadua was a failure
GEJ better economically


That mean u never experienced Yar'adua. That was the only govt that changed the price of fuel from 67naira to 40naira.

In fact both were better than Buhari and this present disaster in power.

On that's what Nigeria needs. Obj understand that it was for our own good that's why he made it do or die,
Kigame of Rwanda, Lee kwan yun of Singapore, XI jinping of China, Mohdi of India non of this men spend less than 8yrs, most spend more than 20yrs to implement succesive and stable policies and built strong institutions. That's what Obj tried to do, he should have spent nothing less than 20yrs, Nigeria would have been far better than it actually was, we would have hit 1trn dollars gdp. But politics got the better of us. Like Obj said maybe democracy isn't best suited for us at this time.

El rufai is right here, we need consistent long term planning if possible with same president!
Tinubu is giving the vibe of who knows what he's doing, I don't mind him doing 20yrs to built strong institutions, it's someone like buhari you'll remove after 4yrs.


We don't have time to waste at all!

Buhari just wasted 8 years of Nigeria's life that can never be gotten back.

...and yes, If Obasanjo had been allowed to do what Singapore, S. Korea, Rwanda have done, by allowing 1 competent leader to build stability, we won't be where we are today.

It is a shame really.

Everything OBJ laboured for, has been flushed down the toilet.

Sold the entire nation to who? A president that relieved Nigeria off its debt and also grew our external reserves. Every president that came after him did not only plung the nation into serious debt but also left with little or no foreign reserve.
Which of them can you compare to OBJ?

Walahi people don't know. The kind damage tinubu Lagos to ibadan news has done to our mind enh, most people subconsciously or not will hate Obj though rightfully so, but what people fail to understand is Obj is the best Nigeria has ever seen economically.

a man like Obj at the helm of affairs for 30yrs will easily take Nigeria to a gdp of 2trn dollars. Sometime I just imagine how Nigeria would have been if Obj is still ruling.
Development is a long term project and Obj has a plan for it all, but being short slighted we play politics with everything.

If Nigeria wants to go back to her glorious years, they should make okonji the minister of finance and make soludo the CBN governor.

Use the subsidy money to build at least two refineries..

Give loan and grants to farmers.

We need to export other things apart from oil.


This is simple.

I don’t support Tinubu but there’s no way u can compare him with the clueless Buhari...man put us in this mess!


LOL not so easy my friend
The world has way passed that stage.
It was quite easy 30yrs ago but now its way more complicated. If we should focus on agriculture, it should be to feed us and not for export as we can't compete, not in the next 10yrs.
What Nigeria needs is to empower some few thousands Mega farmers to the detriment of millions others to grow thousands of hecters of farmlands for easy government policies and interventions when necessary.
The rest of Nigerians should be educated and integrated into the value chain or still service economy, those that will japa can add to our diaspora FDI crew which we need to seriously bring into our economic planning.
At this stage agriculture can't grow our economy to the potential it was meant to, that'll be 40yrs ago if we a serious. All it can do is make us self sufficient

The credit goes to Obasanjo rightly but behind the scenes were some egg heads who came up with fiscal and monetary policies that grew the economy. Ngozi okonjo iweala came up with fiscal policies while soludo came up with monetary policies that grew Nigeria's economy from a the backwoods to the the fire front of the world's best 25 economies.

I still think Obasanjo should be consulted if Nigeria wants to get out of the woods that buhari has plunged it into

There's a reason OBJ wholeheartedly supported PO. He saw the same ingenuity he saw in Okonjo Iweala, Chikelu, Elrufai, Soludo et al.

Man wants the best for Nigeria. He believes in the best ruling and making governance decisions

Which Buhari are you talking about? The one that retired quietly to Daura after 2011, but was brought back by a desperado to become the President. He plunged the country into eight years of misery. Now the desperado who assured that he would continue with Buhari’s policies, has further added woes on the Buhari induced miseries.

What debt?
We are not a poor country We should not be afraid of debt. Our resources if well harnessed will consume any debt. How much is America owing or even our Dangote ? We have what can deal with any amount of money owed anywhere.
What obasanjo and iweala did on debt relief wasnt special or brainy but unnecessarily over dramatised.
Nigeria in brainy and good hands is a bride to the world.

True but Obj gave you a stable macroeconomic environment for private and public business to grow. Low inflation means low people into poverty. In fact things were growing organically under Obj you don't need to do much th gdp will grow at least 6% and if you decide to push, that's double digit growth.
Infrastructure might still be bad, insecurity bane but with a strong economy it's far easier to fix that(even ordinary gate man with money go fix infrastructure) than fix an economy.
India was bad infrastructure wise until few years ago when Mordi starts budgeting billions of dollars into infrastructure ($400bn), that's due to strong economy that it has build over the years.

Buhari try push economic development (progressive-for APC agenda) that itself create an unstable macro economic environment with high inflation! Debt rate! High Dept to revenues servicing!
With this:

business is not growing,
no money to develop even simple infrastructure,
Borrow to pay salari, compounding our woes.

Now Tinubu want to establish a stable macro environment first! Not even talking of economic growth yet!
😂 So where we are now is APC trying to take us back to pdp era before they can now see the way forward.

Buhari was reversing us, we've still not hit the breaks, now imagine how long it'll take for us to move forward to where we are 10 years ago and move further forward from there (10yrs or more? One thing is certain, we need consistent long term plan with strong fiscal discipline and in this any buhari, Kwankwaso or Zulum wannabe should not near that aso rock l
Re: El-rufai: Obasanjo’s Second Term Was Nigeria’s Most Successful Period Economical by Bluntemperor: 12:10pm On Sep 16, 2023
We agreed OBJ cleared the Debt but what other good things did he achieved?
A man who has no backing at home cannot be said to be doing well - as Charity begins at home!
- how many Infrastructures did he completed and why couldn't he Opened them then for the People to see? For instance,who awarded the Lagos- Ibadan Express Road- to Babalakin, yet that Construction could not come into fruition and infact was a Nonstarta and that same Express Road we are still on it till date- with three times the Price/ Cost!
- the South -West People will not forget Obasanjo - for refusal to do a single Road--even theOta- Abeokuta- Rd, that is closer to him!
Reasons - he felt that the People refused to Vote for PDP and by extension ,refused to pay the Lagosians Federation Money - thereby punishment for all Lagosians,just because he was having feud with Tinubu? Now because he refused to see Tomorrow - Tinubu is now the President! Una See Life!
Papa Obasanjo should just go and rest,as we still acknowledge him as a leader in his own right,for the Southwest know his roles in June-12 imbroglio- how MKO and OBJ were festering in their School days but unknown to some of our new - Indomie generation and gaulibles audiences!
-For El- Rufai,he can continue to be on Social Media but he should come and defend his 8- yrs roles in Southern Kaduna,then Free himself from so much allegations against him,which instead of him being defensive,he arrogantly walked -away because he allowed Fulani Heardmen to Commit these attrocities,while he was the Chief Security Officer of the State,yet he looked away,as there was so much Bloodshed in Kaduna State. So terrible!
-But one thing good we will continue to remember El- Rufai for,with others of like-minded people/ Politicians, is he vehemently opposed any extension of Northerners above 8- yrs -Tenure and that Power Must return to the Southerners!
Kudos to him-for this singular act!

Did you not listen to Kayode Fayemi’s comment on Jonathan’s government? Did you not hear Fayemi say that the fuel strike of 2014 was politically motivated? Now El Rufai who PDP brought to limelight, has come out to prove that APC is Nigeria’s problem.

Yaradua was better because Obj left a strong economy that even a squandering for the next 5yrs wouldn't really affect us. GEJ left a fairly stable economy so all buhari need was 2yrs before the inflation starts hitting home.

If 9ja foreign reserve was about $200bn with Buhari squandering most on it on subsidies, he'll would have been the next thing after slice bread walahi, everything would have been cheap to the detriment of our economic outlook.
