What we are experiencing in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is modern that

We've been warning your government of rainy days and here they are.

Madam as a finance Minister meet with the appropriate power and reason together before it becomes worse, please oooo

What's different now and before as far as impoverished people is concern. As a failed state, you don't just talk bcos other well managed economy are talking. Nigerians are being in Recession throughout their lives. May be if you have limited cash then it may affect their looting

Your appointment there to find solutions more over no Nigerian can eat three times daily so therefore we are already in recession.

Talking trash

Nigeria is already in recession since naaaa.

It's not new. It should even go now.

Are we out of recession and when was that

We are in recession already

We were heading that direction before the outbreak of covid 19

What is our problem.the poor's always feel Nigeria recession. If they go more it affect only the poor

Before nko...since all the recovered money and borrowed money and tax money has been used up by some perilous people with no record of what they did. I maintain it. This Covid-19 wants to do factory reset settings in Nigeria...

six month is far,... talk of a month time .. just one month

God forbid

We have always been in recession ,I have never enjoyed anything.... So let remain in recession and sell off all those cars by the senators and their salaries then reduce the cabinet..

This one is talking about recession when the lives of people is at stake

We don’t pray for that insha Allah.

Instead of the Federal government to do TOTAL LOCKDOWN in order to curb the spread of COVID 19 at once like how China did, you are here projecting into six months

Truth be told you law makers are jokers. U don’t have a slightest plan to boost this economy, rather u all want to drown the economy to the bottom. We will all drown along with it that what you all forget. She covid have come for all. No worry I go soon set

You mean to say Under recession because Nigeria has been in recession all this while. Tell me what is working in this country. 21st century we still have no constant electricity supply.

Are we not already in recession or it’s PROMAX Recession?

We're in recession before now, let's not blame it on COVID19.

We have been there since I was born and am getting old I have never seen recession changes

Exactly my point

Nigeria is already in recession. Are u sure u are qualified for this?

Were we out of recession bf? Ds pple re jokers. Smhhh

If COVID-19 Continues Beyond Six Months, The Whole World Will Go Into Recession.

We are in recession already before COVID-19

No it won’t if we cut down on inefficiencies in the economy. We are for the most part just squandering our resources by not separating equity from efficiency.

Hasn’t Nigeria been in a recession since the early 1980s?

Now you are rashly shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted!

You & your atrociously dysfunctional, incompetent, clueless & daft gov't are squarely responsible for whatever COVID19 does to the country. You were forewarned & duly apprised of exactly what to do, to avert it, but you did nothing!

I hope this does not mean we might be going back to our slave masters after COVID-19.

Training wheels dun fell off.

Six months? Are we counting from Dec 2019 when it started in Wuhan? Or February 2020 when it got to Nigeria

Is there a time that Nigeria is jot under recession. Tell Nigerians reason why this government depleted our reserve and went on borrowing spre

So this one is economic surplus,, recession that u people have thrown the country into since.

No dear, Nigeria will go into recession if you keep spending our funds on latest cars and wardrobe allowance
