He also expressed concern that if things continue like this in the country, he is "sorry for the next generation" to come.
Excerpt:
Do you think that in two months things would get better or worse?
I hope it gets better. There is palpable exhaustion in the air because we are tired, I am very tired. A lot of my investment is in real estate and honestly things are not moving. I just cannot make a sense of it, things are very bad. That is where we are now. I am sorry for the next generation and I hope they would be able to make sense of whatever Nigeria becomes.
Are you saying things are still good for this generation and it can only get worse for the next generation?
I am afraid so. Look at what is being reported in the newspapers.
What do you think can be done to rectify the situation?
We would continue to suffer and smile, things are awful.
So you don’t think there is a quick fix that the government can embark on?
Quick fix? Where? It is not going to happen. I am sorry but it is the way things are.
Are you saying that there is no light at the end of the tunnel?
There would be light at the end of the tunnel in the end. We would wobble through and it is not going to be an easy ride.
So Nigeria has never had it this bad before?
No we have not. If you had spoken to me about five months ago, I might have been more optimistic. But Buhari has nothing to offer Nigeria when it comes to economic policies. He has no clue when it comes to economic matters. He has no clue. Nigerians should just leave him and let him play the agriculture card.
