You know, sir, when you talk about the Economic boom we witnessed during the Obasanjo/Atiku years, and how lots of expatriates (and exiled Nigerians) came flocking back to Nigeria to start businesses (FDI influx), some people think we are just mouthing off. https://twitter.com/ambrosia_ijebu/status/1392094331746521088

I always look back to those years with a tinge of nostalgia. The ‘GSM’ years that saw to the creation of not only telecom but even Law jobs (Paul Usoro and many corporate Lawyers hit it big that period)

The recapitalization of the Banking sector, etc etc. All that progress shows you that good policy cannot just be wished into existence

Obasanjo/Atiku assembled a superstar team of technocrats who saw these policies through. Even Frank Nweke Jnr make a mark at the now moribund National Orientation Agency (remember their catchy jingles during AM Express)?

Now, look at Buhari’s cabinet and compare.

Lots of Law firms that thrived on c foreign direct and private equity investments during the PDP years stylishly waltzed into Litigation once Buhari came to power. You can’t do Foreign Direct and equity investments if your country isn’t attracting foreign investors

‘Vote Buhari and (he who must not be named in Jesus name) not because of their policies but because they are decent.’

Decency doesn’t grow an Economy or attract Foreign Direct Investments.

It pains me how we ruined all that progress with the mistake of 2015. Not only are we back to the Pre- May 1999 days, we are actually worse off.
