It has been decaying from independence.

The problem with our economy in my opinion (corruption aside, which is a serious issue mind you)..is that our economy is based on the price of whatever we are selling. IN the 1960's it was agric and solid minerals...then from the 1970's oil took over and remained our main source of income.

Problem is, we do not set the prices. ANd the solutuion is that we use what we have to make things the world can use.

Tinubu has really not done much. WHat he has done is had his hand forced by the fact that at the start of his regime, debt service was eating up most of the avaialble revenue, once subsides for petrol and the dollar had been paid. He had to cut subsides (he has not removed subsides) to get more money. Yes, nice...like IMF even suggested.

But lipstick on a pig does not make it a beautiful woman. (It may improve the pig's looks a bit, but it is still a pig).

At the end, we still are not earning enough money, and cutting subsides can only go so far. APC , Tinubu's party promised that diversification would happen when they took over in 2015. At the end, they did not diversify, and TInubu has not yet outlined how he would diversify the economy. Then there is the low revenue from tax. Improving both things means harsh economic polices for the next decade...and APC wants to win elections...so at the end, they won't take the hard decisions needed.

We have to earn more money, and we can do that by being a exporter of manufactured goods and servicies, having a decent tax income and also having a proper anti-corruption effort, and cutting government costs.

Absolutely true

As this particular news, Don't just drop your anger on every thing with blinded eye. We all know Nigeria is ing through a hard time and that doesn't mean our sense should not differentiate bad news from good news. This particular news is simply saying there is improvement in Nigeria economic situation, it may have not reflected in citizens life but the news is what is it.

Please, can this government of Presidot E-Bola Tiefnubu STOP serving Nigerians with Bowls of LIES every day? How can the amount Nigeria pays today to service its debt be lower relative to the revenue it generates compared to the year prior? First off, Nigeria has borrowed more money in a short period in this istration compared to the prior istration. Secondly, Nigeria is NOT generating more revenue now, and no matter what the government might tell you about subsidy removal, that is also a LIE. All it did was to switch oil subsidies for petroleum marketers to a $$ subsidy for the same marketers. The question Nigerians need to ask themselves is this: "Is your life today better than it was a year ago?" I am sure the answer is NO! So, why will the government be more interested in lying to deceive the citizens about the true nature of the economic malaise facing the country?

πŸ˜‚ in this country many things seems to be scam, no matter how beautifully is it painted. We've bn hearing news, explanations and reasons since the time of Pontus Pilate in this country... the result has always been though on the normal people... that's why I'm tired of understanding... I just want things to be fine for people in real life, not on paper of economic theory grin

It can be difficult to be positive in Nigeria but please adopt a positive outlook not for the president or the government but for your own sake. No matter how bad a situation is, learn to see positives. The news says our debt ratio has dropped from 90% to 66% but you refuse to see that 30% of your revenue has been freed up which can now be diverted into minimum wage or any other thing that will impact and benefit Nigerians. So see the improvements rather than the challenges alone. Be positive. We that saw Abacha's time thought Nigeria has entered Armageddon but see that phase ed. This too will ! But in the meantime be positive, a positive mind attracts success.

Lol, just listen to yourself. Typical of social media barbarians like you who can neither read nor comprehend simple English text. The only exception for you is when it's bad news about Nigeria. Illiteracy has no place in my lineage, bro. It's your brain that needs some serious biological overhauling and resetting. Clown.
