Economist Reviews Presidency's Response To New York Times Report | Sunday Politics 

We don’t like the truth, we deceive ourselves. The publication is right on.

New York Times report: Truth is always bitter

He is very objective and bold

I am happy that it's not only the Igbos are complaining about this bad government neither did an Igbo or Obidient made the report from New York. Okupe and Buala will not come out and attack New York times, their hatred for Igbos have turned them into fools and shameless politicians in Nigeria. Igbos are always attacked any time they express their feelings about this government. Every little comment, they will say that you're insulting them, that Obidients are Igbos/IPOB, just because we admonished this government. They said that we are angry because we lost the election. This is the only time the Igbos decided to support their fellow in presidential election since the beginning of the democracy in Nigeria because we saw the capacity in him. Igbos have all contexted in all the election in Nigeria, we never massively voted for any Igbo candidate because their capabilites were in doubt. Therefore, we voted the Hausas and the Yorubas happily. But the only time we the Igbos decided to vote for a candidate who we trust his capability, they started fighting us, and tag it ethnic politice. All because of their hatrad for the tribe "IGBO"

Thank you, Dr Alaje for your sincere analysis of the happening in our country. The truth of the matter is that most Nigerians and household are finding it extremely very difficult feed and Nigeria government needs to do something very fast about it. The problem of this country is our greedy politicians.

Mr Peter Obi has made it very easy to understand how bad things are under Tinubu. Economic jargon is a hoax. What is the price of bread, garri, yam, rice, etc? You have the answers Nigerians.

"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free ". The economic situation in Nigeria is abysmally awful. New York times said it as it is. Mr Bayo Onondaga can go and hug transformer, since he hates the truth.

Tinubu gave us Buhari to make way for his own presidency. Why are people not calling it what it is? APC inherited a bad economy from APC government that Tinubu supported. Tinubu said he will continue from where Buhari stopped so he is continuing to destroy the economy APC and BUhari stated

Bayo you must be smoking what tinubu is smoking. How can you compare American economy to what is going on in Nigeria.

A resourceful nation buckles under ineffectual buffoons in the past 9 years. 😂😂😂

He sounds very smart love him

Bayo Onanuga is a propagandist ,not an economist. So he should be quiet.

You denied your savior because of your hate for the Igbos. Please enjoy the sufferings and leave the Igbos alone. To his tent oh Isreal. The Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani coalition. How market ooh today ?. Presidency or not, igbo man will always soar higher and better. Igbo kwenu !!!.God's own people.

Since APC took over power, Nigeria has been falling headlong and inflation in 3 digits. A big Shame paying $20 minimum wage to workers . Bola Tinubu didn't inherit a bad economy because he was part of Buhari's government inner circle.

Na statistics we go chop?

I guess with bad inheritance 21 Billion was found to renovate 1 man’s house. 16 billion for Parking space. Anywho we stand with BAT

A very pathetic and unfortunate government. Ononuga should counter NewYork Times with facts and figures acceptable globally. How much has unemployment reduced, what of inflation figures e.t.c? These are the real issues. Tinubunomics in the mud forever.

Today guest was fantastic in delivering his analysis of the economic situation and also offering some solutions. Kudos to channels for bringing him yo the show 🎉🎉🎉

Economic plan. Not only that Tinubu is not celebral, he nominated a complete dullard as his deputy. A very combination.

The Guest is very intellectual, I hope our leaders listens

It's flimsy to say Tinubu inherited 'dead evonomy'. That is given a pat for the unreasoned and poorly planned policies of the government.

they should first stop comparing US to Nigeria, it is not the same at all.

When the west Praises you, you sell it to Nigerians. But, then they criticize you constructively, you call for a fight and slam them

2015 buhari took over from Jonathan pdp and apc cried they took over bad economy. 2023 Tinubu took over from buhari and their apc still crying they took bad economy from them self.

A government that brought untold hardship to its citizens.

There are huge lands that can not be farmed because of insecurities in areas know to produce so much agriculture. Skyrocketing price in fuel is eating away the capital for people to start and grow their farms. These farmers eat hand to mouth. They mostly don't have access to loans. I travelled from north to south to explore the country and I was shocked there were areas I could not travel or had to turn back due to insecurity. These things reflect on the economy

Few economist i will always listen to irrespective of his take.

Peter Obi will do better. Take this to the babk.

Dr Paul thank You for your analysis

Tinubu CANNOT CHANGE Nigeria! He just cannot

It seems like each president in Nigeria further increase the hardship

I think we need to pause this restructuring talk. This is not our problem. What has plunged us into this mess and is keeping us there is not restructuring. The president (current & immediate past) has put wrong people in positions, we do not understand problem solving, we spend too much on governance, we pay for Hajj trips, spend too much on insecurity and so on. These things are a result of corrupt mindset, and can be fixed without restructuring.

Analysts quite objective overall but on minimum wage how can he be so sure all states can pay his recommendation, how productive are the civil servant, what is their of the masses, what effect on private businesses. Definitely we have not gotten it right, time will tell

Tinubu created it by removing subsidy, removal of subsidy is caused of economy crisis today 😮

You see that economist is very realistic, that's why he was able to highlight most of the important economic ideas which if judiciously followed will help to develop Nigeria, he was not being political. He also said that he has not seen the present CBN governor doing anything differently. Now back to the presidency response about the NewYork time report, right from the time of Buhari any time that any agency criticizes the government, they will always come up with diffence and attack without carefully studying that report, after those diffence by one Mr GABA Shehu during Buhari tenure, how was Buhari administration rated at the end of that his tenure, of which that was the administration that this present administration keep referring to as inherited dead economy, but the civil society organisations talked about all the economic problems of Nigeria even before the 2023 general election, some of the major candidates were invited for a debate to tell Nigerians their understanding of Nigeria economic problems and how to solve them, in several occasions Tinubu refused to attend. When he and his party go for a campaign he was saying that he can develop Nigeria and he knows what to do like he did in Lagos, now the time has come to do the job some of there media spokesmen are now saying that they inherited a dead economy, that is indirectly telling us that we should not expect much from them.

It is quite a pity that one who loses it position from the 1st to almost number 7 in Africa economic index still stands with his shoulder above everyone in a competitive circle. The Igbo adage said that one who borrowed clothes doesn't dance more than everyone on the floor. How can Nigeria prosper when we see people who cheat from their agreement with another. In business or marriage, when violet the rule of an agreement, you are a cheater or a duper. Nigeria can never stand with its shoulder tall because they are now feeding their children with money to steal from their partner. So, to speak the truth, Nigeria is a fraudulent person or country. From the current prophet of Umuezumezu

Excellent analysis

Mr. Alaje has said it all. The minister is of power is busy distributing rice in Ibadan in preparation for the 2027 gubernatorial elections instead of improving power supply in the country. Appoint Mr. Alaje as Economic Advisor, he would fail because he would not be given a free hand to perform and his like is not required in the system. Mr Onanuga is not competent to advise on the economy. The Minister of Finance and Central Bank Governor have also failed on the fiscal and monetary policies to push the economy forward.. And do the economy remains in a quargmire.

Tinubu Findlay lost the good wills giving to him by Nigeria in 2023 which means he should be preparing to handover to opposition in 2027 ..The economy is in very bad shape under Tinubu administration and time out for APC in 2027 to handover to opposition ..

Why does nobody address our endlessly growing population without productivity? It's sn epidemic looming...

😢I cry 😢 for my country,I cry 😭 for my people,and I cry 😭😭😭 for the future....

Once u have a horrible senate president and speaker ...that country is hopeless especially in respect to nigeria....there is a reason for Arms of govt....they serve as checks and balance.. but in this case ....the three of them are all the same people ! Pretty fuuny isnt it?

Paul Alaje what a prospect

The govt should address the issue of security to enable farmers to do the needful.

Good contribution

We are brothers and the issues of Gas and no Gas should not separate us. We love Ghana and we love Africa and we should strife to remain as one and stop the bickering because of blind patriotism

Are they lying? Groundno level anywhere in nija unless u are ostrich with ur held in d ground. It may get better but as of today sea is rough

👍👍💯💯😧

No wonder the country is sliding down fast, with people like these Bayo Anus -nuga who are completely out of reality, that guy believes what he wants and he's supposed to be special adviser to the president. I am not an economist but I even know more than those idiots. If I were the president I would not even bother traveling abroad for atleast the first 2 years. I would first visit all our local refineries and summoned all the projects leaders to give account of their project after reviewing, I will fire all of them and set up new contracts with strict ultimatum deadlines, then I will visit all the states and find out what's really going on because those states governments are only after themselves. I will try to see where I can support farming in those states with less violence with farmers .because we always here about that farmers and herders fighting mostly in the north and that violence is staged because they are trying to prevent people from finding out about their illicit deals. We don't hear about it much in the south, so I will invest in farming in the south while fixing the security issues in the north. This ideas of Thiefnubu traveling around for investor's is unnecessary and will not work. He needs to put time in the domestic work.😮

😂😂nyt just wrote what every Nigerian knows already.

The worst trajectory in a generation! Very apt and true. We are yet to see the Lagos boys magic wand in action. Too sad Another one chance bus drive.

Tinubu make a fatal Error first hand on the day of his Inauguration. Fuel subsidy removal and Unification of the Exchange rate. These two policies don't work together. Never should have made such policies same time

Its very annoying when the present gov. says they inherited bod gov., why are they there at the first place...

As clear as life in Nigeria is, why all the analysis? Interest everywhere.

Shameless bunch!

Toomuch corruptions in government t all levels is the major problem in Nigeria ,politicians should learn to put the country and the citizens first as politicians, if they do you will see nigeria developt in a very short time, lawmakers have big roles to play

Seun said western media has wrong notion of nigerian economy. What wrong about their analysis...?????.Seun?????

He lied , Tinubu created the problem we have now .

How do you bring FX into the country?

The senators should live on hundred thousand naira a month, then they have the same feel of average Nigerian. The heal of the society is corruption. The leaders are illerate when it comes to Nation building. The leaders don't even love the country they serve. What a shameful situation 😅

In the first place,what are you expecting from thieftinubu government? That guy is a criminal 😅

After d next 1year some of d praise singers if dis current administration will run out of sarcasm and will b so ashamed to defend dis Tinubu's policies. The rate of degeneration within dis one year is mind boggling and disturbing...I just pray we can survive Tinubu's 4years.

These people always put it on Buhari bcz Tinubu is yoruba. Nigeria was ranked 1st economy in Africa at the time of Buhari. We know Buhari didn't do good, but this present situation of Nigeria Tinubu didn't want to save Nigeria. He took decisions to worsen Nigeria problem.

People who went to school to cram without any understanding of the subjects.

This guy is one of those economist dt was everywhere praising Tinubu for subsidy removal and floating of the naira last yr. Today d result is negative and he is already finding faults in the policies. The simple truth is Buhari and Emefiele were far better.

Nigeria only has a Naira (money) policy not (an) economic or financial one(s).

In a generation or in history?

Smart young man,those presidency ex and now are not Nigerians,,oby madam and Yarudua are Nigerians,,

19.11 Tinubu did not create the problems but he was elected to solve them. Why is it impossible to expose subsidy claims? If Buhari can't, he can given that he is pro-democracy activists. Why can't he reveal the suggestion of Bretton woods leading to subsidy removal so that Nigerians experts could demand reparations from world Bank for SAP that killed our import substitution industries of 1960 to 1980 when the dollar was less than 30k

Tinubu is a waste of time. He will be a waste of time for the 4 years he'll be there. And if he's there for 8 years he'll be, you guessed right, more waste of time. You cannot give what you don't have. A man with such a murky life has nothing to offer.

Which nonsense economic policy???!!!

Haa APC, both buhari or BAT regiemes ever taken ownership of nigerian situation. Did he not promise to continue where buhari stopped?

With that tunubu otuba korex voice Fuel subsidy is Goone😂😅

Nigeria dey sleep on top bicycle

We need restructuring.... Tinubu can become best president ever if only he can restructure......regionalism please

With all these, our mumu govt will still travel outside looking for foreign investors as if they dont do research or listen to news. India news outlet 1st did theirs when Tinubu went to india for investment.

Bayo is a dirty liar! Thiefnubu is the cause of the economic downfall in Nigeria.

God save this country..

I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time .This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes.

There are jobs in nigeria, but people lack skills
