If prior to 2015 all you do is fly to Abuja with your company letter- head in your briefcase and buy/ get contracts which you later sell to professionals at a margin.Then you will want the opposition party to come back.
Definitely your only source of livelihood had been stopped. Therefore Buhari hasn't done anything good . If you're the wife of such a 'businessman" , then Buhari should go. Same for his children and every member of his family who depend on him .
To our ladies who are professional 'escort' . Whose profession is to tag along these businessmen,politicians to Abuja, definitely its obvious business has slowed down. Economy is very bad. These men are thinking of how to pay there children school fees abroad . You are no longer priority. Of course everyone on your payroll.. your parents ( that you lied to about your status in Abuja), your siblings that you are supporting ,your Brazilian hair seller, etc will complain about the economy.
If all you know how to do is go on high sea and bunker our OIL. As it was in the niger delta prior to 2015, then you have every reason to complain about the economy because I know its not business as usual again. Of course ,everybody that is in the chain of your loot will definitely say the economy is bad.
On the other hand you were a bank worker and you had access to the big men of then. Your rapid promotion was because you brought in huge deposits and accounts of government agencies. BVN and TSA is active now. You will definitely complain. No more handouts to you , so living large is no more possible. You no longer travel on Friday and return on Sunday. Your wife and children now fly economy . Economy is definitely bad.
We are all affected. As a school owner I am feeling the pinch . Fees are now paid in instalments, cost of business is high. But we are hanging in there. All entrepreneurs are looking inward and creating wonderful ideas on how to survive in these trying times and I must confess a lot of them are coming up with wonderful ,creative ideas. A lot of collaboration and networking in various sectors of the economy. Farms are springing up everywhere..
We Nigerians need to learn ,unlearn and relearn ways we do things. Its said that A lot of the jobs we have around and study in the universities will be extinct very soon. We need a change of our values and pursuits.
Nigeria is at that time where as a people we rearrange our priorities. Don't complain so much about the bad economy. The lesson to pick up is how to position positively now. Learn something different and new. Network more and leverage on relationship.
The future is very bright for only those who are positive and can see it.
