Friends,

Also Note That Proponents Of The False "Debt Crisis" Narrative Try To Fool Us With An Emphasis On External Borrowing Rather Than Total Public Debt Which Encompasses All.

Please Note How President @MBuhari Has Restructured 🇳🇬's Debt...

#Thread

External Borrowing Offers Loan Terms Which Come With Longer Tenors & Average Interest Rates Of Between (2% - 9%)

Domestic Borrowing Tends To Offer Less Favorable Terms With Much Higher Interest Rates (13% - 24%)

More Domestic Borrowing Means Higher Debt Servicing Payments.

My Friend,

Information Is Power. Be Empowered.
In Four Years, We Have Raised The Taxpayer Base From 13m Nigerians (1960-2015) To Over 20m (2015-19). FIRS Is Generating Most In It's History @ N5.3Tn In 2018 And Is Set To Eclipse That In 2019. #Thread 👇🏽👇🏽 The Nigerian Customs Service Was Not Only Failing To Remit Their Inflows To The Federation Acct, NASS Had Budgeted Huge Funds To Feed Them! Now, We Are Not Feeding Them & They Are Remitting N1Tn Annually Since 2015. NPA Is Remitting. NIMASA Is Remitting. JAMB Too. Pls Google.

#AskAjuri Important #Thread On Nigeria's Current Debt Position:

I Am So Glad That Someone Asked Me This Question — Smart One!

DMO: Nigeria's Current Debt Stands At N25.7 Trillion Or $84.26BN.

Questions Arise: Are We At Risk? How Much Does Does Each Government Account For? Please Fact-Check Me, Patriots!

In 2010, Our National Debt Was: $35 Billion USD.

By 2014, Our National Debt Had Ballooned To $67.7 Billion USD.

That's $32 Billion Dollars Of Debt Added DURING AN OIL BOOM With High Revenues And No Commensurate Infrastructure/Investment..
