][color=#990000]Regarding the current failing oil price/naira devaluation , these writers @solomonsydelle @Curvyice since 2009 wrote/had this perspective yet no one in Government who could effect change [color=#006600]even with all the so called technocrats / "smart people" in Government, they still couldn't avert this - obviously this was a long time coming and even primary school kids in Nigeria know we run a mono economy, but sadly either successive governments willing ignored this fact or where just too greedy, blind and corrupted with other stuffs to care about this.[/color |

Will this country survive this era? We've never had clueless people at the helm of affairs like this before o. Even roadside granut hawker knows that, firing the aides of the aides of the special aides to the special assistants to all governors, state Assembly members, house of Representatives members, senators, party chairmen n party thugs, will save enough money to cushion any effects of dwindling oil prices, instead the morons r depreciating the naira. 2 Likes |

lastpage: Quantitative Easing has relatively little to do with diversification of Economy. I advise you read about it. In my drive to understand how politics should work I have found myself bemused with several nation states and how some countries are run on experimentalists utopia for tens of decades. When you say the country is mono-economy, who do you blame, when respective states decry the idea of Confederal Resources Controlling Units, everyone wants to depend on Niger Delta Oil, and the myopic governors keep shouting about being cheated on Federal Allocation Formula, even a brilliant facility as Excess Crude Account Policy for major infrastructural development is being abused by Amaechi and Fashola because they want the money 'shared'. I advise we allow the professionals who studied Economies and Economics to apply their decades of experiences to ease the economy and mop up excess liquidity at their stipulated tenure. Everything is not about politics, let fools play politics on nairaland but should steer clear casting aspersions on how Economic modules are regulated. Full Stop to the fools. 6 Likes |

Billyonaire: Look here, mate...at the bolded. The problem is not whether every state depends on Niger Delta oil....and if I had my way....they won't anymore. The problem is Nigeria's economy, from independence , has been dependent on sale of raw materials abroad. We ended up with oil, when thanks to technology and to the fact that agric does not make cash (everybody is doing agric, while few do oil).....we had reduced cash in the seventies and the eighties. But the problem with your analysis....is that you want to blame Nigeria's problems on ''evil Nawtherners taking our oil away''. I used to think like that. But since 99...we have had Southerners running the show...and most of them are just as resource dependent as the North is. And even if we give the Niger Delta all the oil....it would become a seriously indebted, Dutch diseased economy. Do you want that?....or do you want a self sufficient,. industrial Niger Delta......? Lastpage is right.....we need to stop being resource dependent and start manufacturing. All of us. Telling the North to go back to groundnuts and cotton, the South West to cocoa, and the South east to palm oil .....won't help. Telling every state to start manufacturing....and getting rid of the idea that there is a national cake....an idea that you and your Hausa friends share.....is the way forward. Oil is still a curse. 3 Likes |

The CBN should abandon this official pegging of currency that it is doing and ALLOW THE NAIRA TO FLOAT AND FIND ITS REAL VALUE. Sugarcoating the problem will not solve it. Subsidy will have to go. Let us see how low we can actually fall as a country. What kind of country has a trade balance which is 92% imports and 8% exports and hope to keep its currency strong? When there is so much dollar demand what do people think will happen? We only have $1.5bn in our Sovereign Wealth Fund. Our governors have been sharing the excess money from sales of crude oil for years. No savings. No thought about the future which has now become the present. America now exports 8 billion barrels of oil per day and have stopped buying from Nigeria, which used to supply 20% of US oil. Obama has delivered on his promise made in 2010 to cut down America's dependence on crude oil from external sources. Let us face it. There are new realities on ground. The era of $120 per barrel crude oil is gone. More countries are discovering oil every day while Nigeria's reserves are dwindling. Nigeria has now lost close to 35% of its revenue. The only way to recover a portion of it is to devalue the currency. 4 Likes |

Just my opinion based on observation. The economy has all its eggs in one basket....oil. Even so....is it not bad policy to be a major producer of oil and not have refineries to produce fuels to satisfy the local market and to export? ...think Venezuela. As Boss said earlier....basically, American shale oil is a game changer. America was the biggest importer of oil and Nigeria's major customer. America is now self sufficient and is now an exporter as well...of high quality shale oil at low prices. The writing is on the wall...OPEC has read it and is about to hold an emergency meeting to protect themselves.....but I guess the FG can bury it's head in the sand and wait in vain for the price to rebound. Saying the naira was devalued to make it stronger is an insult to the intelligence of Nigerians. If Nigeria was driven by exports...like China...then devaluing the Naira would boost exports. Niveria is not therefore inflation would rise and the price for everything would begin to rise and there would be greater sufferings. I guess the time is now for the FG to make and implement policies that would encourage self sufficiency and discourage that which would not boost the economy. Prediction...before April 2015..1$US = N200 or more. 1 Like |

bushdoc9919: The current geo-political reality of Nigeria is that the North has 19 states plus Abuja FCT to the south's 17, which cascades into everything about REPRESENTATION at the federal level and impacts the ability or (non) of the NASS to pass any meaningful amendment that will reduce our NATIONAL dependence on oil revenues to fund NON-viable states. Granted that "if we give the Niger Delta all the oil" it MAY not be prosperous overall, however we are only SPECULATING on that future possibility. Why don't we also SPECULATE that they will turn into Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Quatar with their small population BTW, is it for anyone to give what BELONGS to you in the first place? Did "we give" the south and north rights to their cocoa/rubber/palm oil and groundnut/cotton revenue respectively prior to the Jan. 1966 coup and subsequent UNITARY government? Don't you think that there is an anomaly somewhere currently 2 Likes 2 Shares |
