Ali Baba asks pertinent questions in rage over Nigeria’s economy

Ace comedian Ali Baba flew into a rage in a new post on Instagram asking pertinent questions concerning the Nigerian economy and the way Nigerian leaders have been going about its handling in the past.

The comedian who only last week signaled President Buhari to call the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to order over the detention of Joe Chinakwe for naming his dog, ‘Buhari’, noted in his pots that the Nigerian economy will remain the way it is because the problems that got it to the state it is now, are still pulling even stronger.

“The Nigerian economy will remain like this for a long while because the strings that pulled us into these dire straits are still pulling us even stronger.

“How did we get here? We were making so much from oil and neglected all other sources of revenue. We did not invest the revenue from oil on infrastructural development of the country. We were not futuristic in our planning either.
