- Dirigiste policies that were being pursued by previous administrations and the dethronement of merit for nepotism and political calculations have led us to this point. The Tinubu administration must not panic or brandish reactionary policies, it must return to the national plan.

Bless u prof, you are the only Nigerian that I know who understands the true meaning of Nation building, and has been preaching it to the primitive minded Nigerian leaders for years. May your days be very long.
look at people obi wants to work with nigeria miss
@@alexzee7500 it's Tiring oo
Patrick Utomi is one of the smartest Nigerian but you can not salvage Nigeria. An African can not run Nigeria. You are running five or six different countries.
God bless you
😊😊😊😊😊@@kdad1050
LP Peter Obi with Pat Utomi in his wing and Datti Baba Ahmed would have been the best for Nigeria.
Thats right. They would have produced a miracle in 7 months. The one he couldn't performed in 8 yrs as Gov of little Anambra
The miracle obi performed in anambra is the reason anambra state has the highest number of millionaires in Nigeria and even in Africa. There are actually more millionaires in anambra than the entire north west. Bro in my village in anambra its so hard to find a family that doesn't have
millionaires. He ensured that there was microfinance bank in every major market in anambra that funded the business people and provided funds for them to expand. We had the best road network in Africa according the EU
The best in education, law, ease of doing business, and transparency. So you can hate the man but not his actions. Let tinubu lead for 8 years so people like you they pay peanuts to come and spread false narrative online will get sense
@@martinsiloh704 You sounds so non challants and naive to me. I am sure majorities of this so called millionaires leaves and do their businesses in Lagos and other parts of the country. If i may ask you. Why is Anambra stil ranked low in terms of IGR despite this your so called millionaires? I would think this so called millionaires would have boosted and provided enough tax revenue into Anambra's govt account so that the state wont have to depends on federal allocations. This's arrogance at its best. I would rather have majorities of citizens gainfully employed and able to feed themselves rather than having ONE MILLIONAIRE PER 50K PEOPLE.
@@okeoja4447hate is destroying you all
That would be a great combo. Unfortunately Nigeria is filled with idiots who can't tell what's good for them
Rufai is a great repository of knowledge. Never a time I listen to him and not learn something new. Well done 👏
Professor Pat Utomi , I agree to every thing you said Sir. My 🎩 off for you.
You are a Scholar and also Man of integrity.
You said it all.
Prof I can listen to you all day. You are a national treasure
I swear
"Merit becomes a joke in Nigeria."
Correct analysis.
God's will Akpabio should shup up!
He should jusy shut up because he has nothing to say.
🤣🤣
You copied that?
This one was really loud!
Chai Senate President should SHUT UP CUZ HIS GOT NOTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY!!!
An interview turned into a lecture. That's how good Pat Utomi is.
God bless 🙏 Rufai for mentioning Dr M I Okpara (RIP). The guy really made his mark ❣️ in rural agriculture for the Eastern Region. He Master minded and developed the agricultural settlements for the region. Still prospering today. What prevents the present administration from zeroing in on that strategy? Secure the local lands and empower the citizens to produce 🥑🥝 a lot of food in a short time period. That's doable. Stay away from show boating and appearance of false life styles.
Great.. a few days ago I personally passed through the palm plantation farm settlement at Igbariam built by Dr. Okpara, Anambra State. It's still there..
I also saw the so called grain reservoir silos near Coscharis Rice Mill in that area. Those Silos doesn't look like it has any grains.. maybe Coscharis but it for his Rice Mill.
These irresponsible politicians and their criminal enterprise has ruined the country. They've dominated the country and to force them out will need a military intervention or a civil revolution.
Tinubu is totally overwhelmed. It's a disaster foretold.
Unfortunately, Hope Uzodinma is not a leader. It's only LEADERS like Sir Michael Okpara that think futuristic and beyond their personal financial gratification.
Dr okpara did that then, because they are no Fulani herders killing and raping our famers. Then, basket food of the nation " benue state" what is their crime? These are people that produce food in that country,why are they herders killing them? How can a country that pays terrorists salaries to continue killing and commiting genocide progress?
I have always been a passionate fan of Prof. Pat Utomi. I need to expand my horizons by focusing more on readings 📚.
😂😂😂Get out of those foreign SUVs you are riding, you don't deserve them. The Nigerian politicians are the biggest problem of the country.
Mr RUFAI. GOOD JOB please bring more people like these to educate them
It’s appalling how Nigeria have bright minds like this but patient enough to allow criminals to run public offices. Shameful
Prof Pat Utomi!!! You will always have my respect.
I love this man, he really said the facts.
Well done pro sir.
Moral of the story and all he talked about- our issues have fundamental solutions, period.
This guy should be an advisor to the president. Please, who is advising Tinubu?
You earned your Professorship Sir. I cant say the same of Yakubu the INEC chairman. Ire o
Nigeria has great minds like Professor Pat Utomi.
But the problem is that the rogue political leaders are not interested in creating a country that works, and that the citizens can be proud of.
Their main, if not only interest is how to corner the commonwealth of the country for themselves and their families/cronies.
How else can Tinubu give his son in law a top federal job? For the sake of optics alone, even if the said gentleman is qualified, get some other qualified Nigerian to take that position.
As Professor Utomi responded in this interview, Nigerians are too patient.
People should stop asking Nigerians to be patient with this administration
What about your crooked civil servants in various ministries in the country? They are part and parcel of the corrupt politicians 😮
Prof Utomi and his incisive solutions as always, boldly sweep aside disrespectful illiteracy and refocus society for good governance incentives, human rights empowerment and deliberate planning strategies. His academic scholarship reflects doable and achievable economic development.
Can someone put a feather on Prof’s cap.
The interview shows that Nigerians problem is solvable . We just lack capable hands in most positions of leadership.
God bless Nigeria.
Prof Pat Utomi - a product of C.K.C. Onitsha, AND LOYOLA College Ibadan - is highly knowledgeable in his field of Political Economy. Up AMAKA and Up LOYO respectively!
What a pleasure to listen to you, always a learning session
Indeed;
Prof Pat is such a star 💫
What a riveting interview, I couldn’t put it off.
The people in governance need to pay utmost attention to recommendations here, especially PRODUCTION! Otherwise, we would still be travelling the ways of previous moribund, clueless and majorly pillaging administrations.
It will be most idiotic and dishonest to even imagine that today’s festering crisis is the creation of Tinubu’s less-than-one-year in office administration. While this administration needs to get a grip, today’s headache in the country is definitely the creation of many past years of docility in government!
Having the best people doing the right thing. 👍
But you also need character and strategy to ride the storm.
The bad omen
This administration lacks the moral persuasion and international credibility.
Next time vote wisely
Very few people can hit the nail on the head. Prof Pat is doing this. Kudos to him. These are the type of people we need in nigeria to salvage our wrecking ship. Nigeria must be rescue from this wreckage.
REAL MEN LIKE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED PAT
Always loved listening to Prof Pat Utomi. He certainly hits the nail on the head. I wish majority of our people will realize this and hold the politicians responsible for "messing up" the economy of the country for the future generations. You need a leader that genuinely love the people deeply to be at the helms of affairs. He also must have a clear vision and not a mediocre. The ugly habits of turning the government into a family affair have returned with the Tinubu's administration and the worse it will eventually be for the country's economy. Thank you resplendent Ayo, Dr Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni for such a brilliant presentation.
I think this government should put pride aside and gather competent hands across party line and fix this country. They should invite Prof, Peter Obi and his vice president candidate and let thus country move forward. The government should reduce the cost of governance and deal with problems is civil service from federal to state.
Igbos are not protesting. We are standing on Tinubu's mandate of 8 years😂
I am Yoruba and I support the Igbos choice. My Wife is Igbo, so yeah I am not Into that tribalism bullshit...
If Nigeria doesn't tackle corruption head on NOTHING WILL WORK.. but how can thieves supervise thieves ?
Professor Pat utomi every thing you said was hundred percent correct, some of the politicians are problem of that country and some of the citizens are as bad as the politicians. Everyone of us need to change our ways especially corruption.
How can gov encourage the agriculture settle. No road to farm. No security. No education. No younger Nigerian will want to go to farming
The issue is that those at the helm of affairs are seriously not interested in fixing issues.
Why are we like this when brains like this are alive. Even the devil is confused about our matter
Thank you Prof.
A knowledgeable man! Indeed very interesting.
Professor may God bless you and the people with you there by saying the truth to the authority or leaders of Nigeria.
Good excellent point my brother Prof Tom Utomi. May your days belong.
Pat Utomi
Peter Obi was right. START PRODUCING
Thank you Prof Utomi. Great conversation and ibsightcto zEconomic History. Will they learn,?
Professor Pat Utomi I appreciate your ideas Sir ❤
Thank you Prof
To be honest, the South-Easterners were the only people that complained of Nepotism by Former President Buhari. Most of our brothers and sisters looked the other way because it favoured them at the time.
All Nigerians complained about nepotism in the Buhari government, the SW.
@@sulaak All Nigerians? No @sulaak.
The SW did not complain. They began to complain when they realized that Buhari was not supporting Tinubu’s election. Stop with the lies already. We are not kids.
Ahhh Rufai. William the Conqueror and his Doomsday book. My respect for you has gone up a notch once more. Nice one
Lots of valid points Prof made today.
❤what a great interview with the great Prof
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 With minds like this we have baboons in power👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Nigeria has a massive number of capable hands to run the country. Lee Kwan Yew freely gave the blueprints for growing a nation in his book, From Third World to First. We need meritocracy and accountability (you thief, you pay for it dearly). Without such there is no path to progress. Currently, our government doesn't have capable hands. And the illegitimate president only makes deals that enrich himself and his family at the expense of Nigeria, where is the path to growth.
I am not a professor, but I know if Nigeria opens the 3 seaports in the SE/SS, CALABAR , Portharcout and Warri, and give Aba and Onitsha a free hand for export and import, the Naira will be strengthened, immediately. How can Nigeria be destroying its manufacturing base by destroying SE/SS businesses, and hope to succeed?
Real patriot!
Well done Prof. Food for thoughts for the sane minds.
Thankyou sir
God bless you Prof Pat. If only our leaders would listen and adjust quickly. They lack listening ears.
Thanks Prof.
Al this things are common sense.
Reuben, what makes you think that Tinubu or his predecessor Buhari, can ever understand the concept of Merit?
If prof Utomi and Peter Obi joins this govt; they will make morons out of them.
Very simple.
When.you refuse to produce the dark.days will always come knocking.
Currently traveling in Brazil. I see what the professor is saying. The cities are impressive. North to South!
Thanks Prof Pat Utomi for reminding us to put Nigeria Interest first not not competitive cults. Thouha World class Management technocrat since 1965, my services as a financial analyst hasn't been used by Nigerian Governments. African Development Bank, World Bank recognize my worth. I am also an alumni of Lagos Business School Business Development Services Consultant. Prof Utomi & Prof Salami moderate our courses. Dr Ralph Ebhojie Ex Awolowo Obafemi, Shagari,. Ayida passionate staff.
The people of Nigeria shoul vote in the right leaders, insist on them,the right result will show. It's as simple as that.
By now the trio of Peter Obi, his vice presidential candidate, Pat Utomi and people of like mind would have turned the ship of the nation to face positive direction at least
That rubber cultivation should not be ignored. What i saw in East Africa is Sisal cultuvation for hectares. Imagine you can go to every hardware shop from Tamale to Accra and cannot find natural rope. Why 🧐?
Brilliant professor pat utomi unfortunately division 3 players are ruling Nigeria God save us
Until the poor Nigerians goes in assuming into the rich people's houses and loat them of their food and money this government will not do anything about the hunger in the land.. God is watching
They’d remain poor for longer
They will rather pray and fast and hope on God to come and fix things b4 they think of that.
God is watching, what exactly is God watching? The stupidity of Nigerians? Corruption of leadership and followers?
One of the best interviews granted by My mentor Prof. Pat Utomi. May God keep you much healthy n longer for Africa to reap the gains from your wealth of knowledge
Two many facts from your talks.
"Merits becoming a joke in Nigeria"
Chai Senate President should SHUT UP CUZ HIS GOT NOTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY!!! This one loud abeg.
This one really deflated the bloated Senate President
Everyone, including the Agbadoists, are busy pouting encomiums on Prof. Utomi now. Wait until it is time to vote leaders. Then they will remember where he comes from and choose a criminal from their village. Animaz!
Erudite Professor.
Not even the food but the money sir
Listening to you guys, it is clear Nigeria is F'd. I pray for you guys, glad I left that behind.
😅😅😅😅 I give you hand prof.. Let them shortup.. Useless government they don't think about the poor people 👍👍👍
Shut up not short up.
We're interested in what goes into our pockets.
What prof is saying can practice even from the neighborhood, CDA up to Local government level until it gets to national level.
Especially in area of food production and technology
prof. you focus on your endowments theory and creating a value chains out of the endowment but what about diversification to ensure a downfall of any particular industry?
🇳🇬👿🇳🇬 Vote our worst politicians into power, we do always. This Prof. Utomi contested elections, Nigerians refused to vote for him, he lost even in his own Niger Delta. Now we Nigerians pay for our bad choices.
Apart from nepotism, our biggest problem is corruption. All the money stolen fom oil and other areas should be taken from the thieves. Then put this money into productive areas. Ghana went thru the same problem we are having today. Today, they are out of that Fx problem.
We have chosen the wrong way since 1979. Compounded it with 1999contistitution foisted on us by those who claimed to speak for the people. We embraced Capitalism & democracy which are two things alien to us. The price we are paying today with our insatiable corrupt mindset. Nothing ever goes down in Nigeria,always upward movement. We will continued to get the result of what we do wrong. You cant do the samething & expect differnt result.
❤
How do you effect the use of latent advantage or endowment, create value chain, and build local capacity around the value chain when you have a unitary system of government. We need to go to the fundamental by removing this expensive and inappropriate presidential system and replace with something that make sense which is regional system.
What happened to the money realized from the removal of oil subsidy? The money was shared
Nigeria needs the south east for economic growth and industrialization of the country. Take it or leave it.
We really missed an opportunity in Nigeria...
Patient in Nigeria I laugh
Am highly impressed with what prof was is saying infact that is the solution. But our politicians with always do it wrongly.
Prof you are very intelligent,I remember that you served as an adviser to then president shehu shagari,why did Nigeria economy collapsed under president shagari
You can advise it's the president right to accept or reject it❤
Who knows the book or article Prof referenced on why the textile industry in Kaduna died?
The earlier the better!, incompetency and unqualification has killed Nigeria
👏👏👏🙏👊
They say that patience is a virtue. Yes if the politicians are not corrupt. These guys are sharing money instead of using the money on it’s citizens.
Arise work on your sound please
Short term cost effective solutions:
(1).From an Igbo man. Bring in the drones. Flying long range drones 24 hrs with day/night capabilities on fertile farmlands.
(2). Bring in the drones to man the busiest inter-States roads 24 hrs.
(3). Bring in the drones to man all the boarder crossings24 hrs.
This can be done under one month. Buy them from China or elsewhere & cargo them.
By the way, they should be a combination of surveillance/armed drones equipped with the likes of Thompson cameras if you know what I mean**.
If you want short term shock solutions, here you have them, any other...is mid-term to long-term.
Bro u 're perfectly right but there're many corrupt n informants within the security forces dt gives out informations 2 de criminal elements!
The problem is that you are suggesting real solutions. But some people are benefitting from this and want this problem to continue
It's astonishing people like Prof aren't in government.
🇳🇬 is running super-expensive system of govt; it should be cut drastically. Even rocket science is now become easier to solve than 🇳🇬 problems 😢
Professor how about electricity
This man like theory so much
What u should ask yourself is, has any government ever bother to even implement any of it? Rather than enacting policies that keeps bringing the living standards of Nigerians
Meritocracy not Democracy is the only way.Thanx Sir
The Result of Insecurity in core Farming 🚜 Regions .
Has now forced young Farmers into becoming both Okada and Keke NAPE operators, in other Regions. As a means of survival.
PROFESSOR PAT UTOMI, PLEASE TELL THE GOVERNMENT TO GIVE US ELECTRICITY 24 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK NO STOP LIKE IN ABIA STATE ,GAS MODEL ELECTRICITY COMPANY,WE HAVE CRUDE OIL AND GAS, IRON ORE, LIMO STONE, RUBBUR, CALIFORNIA'S STONE, GOLD IN ZAMFERIA STATE AND EDO NORTHERN STATE, CALIFORNIA STONE,GOD BLESS NIGERIA AMEN OO
Omg 😮
All these grammatical gymnastics are too much jargon for the Fulanis especially their mischief Politicians to wrap their heads around.All they're waiting for is for Tinubu to finish his 8 woeful years and hand over Power to them to continue to nowhere.
