That is my president. Hate him or love him, he is what we need at this point in time.

His stand on foreign exchange restrictions are on point. Our industries are not growing because of importation of basically everything... toothpick, frozen chicken, rice, generators, fabrics.... you name them. We can't continue that way. Most of these things are stuffs that can be produced locally. Nigerians should be grateful that the government is resolute enough to take that stand.

We can't devalue the naira because of businesses that do not contribute anything to employment and economic growth.

And of course, we can't subsidise the the dollar for them either.

But if they insist, they can source for forex from the black market.

Whatever you can no longer import because of rising forex... learn how to produce or manufacture it locally!

I love you PMB! I know a lot of well meaning Nigerians do too

We pray God helps you win the war against corruption and insecurity too

Nigerian media and their lies. This is not all he said, you are covering it all up. I watched him from the start to the end. You're fake, brown envelope journalism would Never prevail. GEJ came in, and you pretended as saints, now GMB is on, you claim to be holier saints. I tell you these day, that your lies will end up one day and put to shame. The Most High Creator has His Way of doing things, and HE shall show you all that you are nothing but Mortal Men, U bleed, U sleep, U slumber, and U sleep in death. Better repent, these Brown-envelop Journalists.

I have a problem with;

"On the clash between Shi’ites and the Nigerian Army in Zaria and his silence

i. I have allowed the army and the Kaduna State government to come up with their reports before I come out to speak on the clash. This does not mean that the police and the DSS are not doing their part.

ii. The situation in Zaria is very serious… How can one group create a state within a state?

There is nothing like jurisdiction in the legal process in Nigeria. It does not make any sense. Who is in charge of this investigation? In the US, one agency would take charge of an investigation so as not to create confussion as well as not to waste valuable resource. We see it everyday. LASTMA, KAI, VIO, ROAD SAFETY, all doing the same thing which is absolutely insane.

I'm

What do you really want again? Dash them free money for doing their business? He has help them block compitetion from importer and the market is only left for them, so what do u want him to do again? Teach them how to sell to the willing buyers?

Sincere9gerian:

Interesting! And how exactly do you approach the CBN?

This president is actually worse than I thought.

Anyway, the good thing about our current predicament is that even those who voted for and still supports Buhari, who is obviously the most clueless president in my lifetime, would also feel the heat one way or the other, except of course those directly employed by his government.




Then you remain the worst human being on planet earth.

Sibrah:
Do you guys think at all before typing? So after the political appointments what is Buhari suppose to do? You talk like he is suppose to take allocation used to cater for people of SE extraction in other states back to the SE and keep it there. Common sense dictate that should a SEner living in Kano falls sick, he or she goes to Kano based Hospital and used up Kano state resource, so if you like more federal presence in SE make it more conducive for people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to live there.

Gaborone:



lol. Yes, they said...because they are enlightened enough to say. Moreso, I'm proud enough to repeat what they said. No questions asked.

And no, there is no thread on nairaland beyond my capacity. Try say something else to stop me from expressing myself. This one didn't work.

My mummy said ko, my daddy said ni.

E-warrior, have yourself a more meaningful year in 2016.

ril19:
Your foreign exchange restriction policy is meant to discourage import of goods that can be produced locally. that's good.


Buh one question for you baba; what are you doing to encourage already established businesses within the country?


Take for instance the automobile industry. Local manufacturers like IVM and others need supports, incentives and concessions because such an industry can be a huge employer of labour in the country when fully harnessed. keep trying baba.

I admire the president's honesty...He didn't try to sugar coat anything.

But the down side is that, he sounded clueless about many issues. He would need to ask the CBN Governor, He may have missed the programme which exposed his Ministers' involvement in corruption, etc.

The chat also showed that with enough pressure, Buhari can bend (which is evidence that he doesn't have a clear objective) as it relates to his agreement to ban Hijab when pressed by the journalists.

Buhari is a good man, but the Dictator is still strong within him as he doesn't respect the Judiciary. He even made the police look inferior by saying "How can the Police investigate the military when it should be the other way around".

We are in for rough times ahead.
