Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose, Esq., a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, has cried out that Nigeria’s economy might be grounded in the next nine months.

He said this was bound to happen except there is an urgent economic intervention.

He noted that the economy was currently in very bad shape due to poor management, adding that the Buhari government had failed woefully to take necessary precautions to prevent it from nose-diving.

“This has led us to where we are currently. A leader who is not well versed in modern economic trends and who lacks a sound economic team will perform poorly economically,” Bamgbose revealed on Monday.

“Buhari’s penchant for foreign loans is alarming and the most unfortunate aspect of it all is that almost 30 -35% of the loans are embezzled by politicians and government agencies.

“There cannot be any meaningful economic growth where corruption is massive and pervasive. That the Nigerian economy may collapse in the next nine months is never a false alarm but a factual one.

“It’s on record that Nigeria records debt service to revenue ratio of 98% between January and May 2021, in essence, the Federal Government spent a whopping 1.8 trillion on debt servicing in the first five months of the year, representing about 98% of the total revenue generated in the same period.

“This is a very dangerous economic trend, this has indicated that our economy is not healthy and very, unfortunately, we lack economic ‘doctors’ to reverse the trend.

“A cursory look at the data revealed that the total aggregate revenue generated by the Federal Government between January and May 2021, stood at N1.84trn bearing in mind that N1.8trn was used for debt servicing.

“This has revealed that 98% of our revenue goes for debt servicing. This invariably suggests that the Federal Government that more foreign loans is inevitable in the area of funding for capital projects.

“This is the sad situation we have at hand. This has shown that our economic managers have failed us and the economy of Nigeria may in the nine months collapse.

“It’s an understatement to state that our economy is sick because the reality on the ground is that the economy is gasping for breath and may soon enter a coma except for something urgent is done.”

What did you expect? Of course, the economy will be grounded because criminal politicians / government officials stash billions of dollars in foreign banks, and whatever is left is used in funding bandits, goons, and terrorists in place of developing the lives of poor people. You guys don't fool anyone. It's all about corruption, you don't get anymore Nigerian than that since the reintroduction of democracy. The definition of democracy in the Nigerian context is, steal as much as you can today, because tomorrow might not come. It's a shame. You have enough deposit of crude oil beneath your feet, you have 4 giant refineries, 1 in Kaduna, 1 in Warri, Port Harcourt alone has 2 refineries. You shamelessly export your oil to a country like Niger republic to refine for you with a highly inflated cost which of course you jointly manipulate with agents. You pay demurrage for the exportation of your crude, so much so for the importation of the refined products. They do whatever they want with your oil, send back whatever they have refined to you to sell to innocent Nigerians at exorbitant price. Local and multinational corporations engage in tax invasion because your government gave them the wherewithal to do it. Your domestic production capacity is off scale because you lack energy to boost production. Your currency is at its worse in the international market, no valuation let alone devaluation. You have so much money in circulation both genuine and fake which is the worse that can happen to any economy. Massive corruption in every area of leadership, yet you dream of a strong economy. How unfortunate!
