chinchum:
At the moment, greed is not the only problem,

If there are 5 individuals in a room that need 10 cups of rice to be fed well, and you give them 4 cups of rice, that is a problem. The team leader of the 5 individuals might corner over 2 .5 cups from the 4 cups allocated, meaning 1.5 cups is left to be shared amongst 4 individuals, that is a greed problem, but that is not the only problem.

Very true.

However, the 10 cups in your analogy ARE available within the Nigerian system.
If greed is removed, the 10 cups would be utilized as needed, rather than embezzled.

e.g 33.8 billion Naira can build world class schools and hospitals in Bayelsa.
Unfortunately, their priority is having a world class governor's office which benefits no one but the governor and $$-lined corrupt pockets.

There is no implications, the only people that will feel it are the looters in government. To ordinary Nigerians it doesn't make no difference if it sells at $200 per barrel or $20 per barrel.
Stop saying this, stop !!!. It is too myopic.

Every one will face the brunt, infact ordinary nigerians will feel it the most, the looters in government have enough loots stashed somewhere that will act as a buffer. Value of Naira is crashing, inflation is going upwards, prices of everyday consumables is on the upward trend. Oil workers are losing their jobs in droves due to the fall in price, state governments can not pay salaries, and you keep saying "it makes no difference"?

Bottom might be in in oil. I am beginning to build small LONGS for long term.

At $3 profit, I will initiate trailing stop and ride till the wheels fall off.

I bailed from my SHORTS a little bit earlier at $35. Should have, could have, would have...But that's the nature of this business. With the current dollar-naira exchange rate, the profit is astronomical.

Please explain what conspiracy you speak of?

When oil started rising from $10 to $140 I didn't hear any shout of conspiracy, but when it crashed as all commodities do all of a sudden there is a conspiracy. Interesting that you ignore the fact Nigeria did not make use of the oil boom to develop it's infrastructure and diversify the economy instead choosing to squander and waste all the money.

Yeah real conspiracy.

OPEC or should i say Saudi Arabia (because all OPEC members pretty much do what Saudi decides irrespective of who is OPEC president) wants to maintain its market share by maintaining production levels in the hope that the continued fall in oil prices will lead to the demise of higher cost oil producers such as the Shale industry from the US.

So far it has not worked as the bigger shale producers have proved more resilient and continued to drive down the cost of production through technological advancement. Smaller shale operators have shut down, but overall US production has not reduced by much as many of the larger operators are still producing oil.

How long either the Shale operators or Saudi can go on remains to be seen.

Saudi is able to pursue this strategy because unlike Nigeria they have been able to build a huge reserve during the oil boom of about $700bn while Nigeria had about $30bn when oil prices started to fall. Same with the likes of Venezuela.

Important to note that Saudi reserves are dropping rapidly as Saudi have to fund budget deficits and also cover falling revenue and at some point they may have to admit defeat to Shale if the hale industry can continue to persevere.

[size=18pt]Farm lands are wasting away in the Northern and Southern part of Nigeria with a massive graduate population not gainfully engaged employment wise, federal and state government in Nigeria are waiting for oil price to rise to earn revenue. They must be day dreaming. They better think of alternatives such as Agriculture and solid minerals.
I think if Buhari is serious he should have by now engage the zimbabwean farmers, israelies, for technological know how on modern farming.

Crude oil cannot raise an economy with the basic fundamentals: Technology, Commerce, Human Capital development; these are the trump card of Biafra, not crude oil. We just want to be free, and do things the way they're being done in the advanced and civilised world. We want European nations to marvel and bow to our ingenuity. Bro, not oil.

I am fully aware of what l am saying. We are so sucked up into believing that we cannot survive without oil. Kenya have discovered oil few years ago and have not even began production nor eager to rely on it because just like their President said they don't want to make the same mistake Nigeria made, She found oil and ignored other things! A litre of petrol for over the years sold for N224 in Kenya till last year when it came down to N180 but the transport fare in Kenya is far cheaper in comparison to Nigeria that sells under N100 per litre, this you can verify from any Nigerian living in Kenya. Domestic flight is also cheap, the same flight duration between Lagos and Abuja that is above N20,000 in Nigeria goes for N8,000 in Kenya and Nigeria happens to a oil producing Country!

Do you know how many billions of dollars Kenya earns from tourism and agriculture? 75% of Rose flowers sold in Europe is from Kenya and every night different airlines depart with cargoes of fruits, vegetables and flowers from Kenya heading to Europe to be sold in markets across Europe the next day. Nigerians go to Europe to buy the same flowers Kenya exported there!

Nigeria will NEVER die because of the fall in price of oil rather the crash will wake her up!


A mature, clean and sensible argument.

NaLaugh:


This is my exact sentiment. When I see talks online about the price of crude going to crap, and its effect on the Nigerian economy, I just laugh.

Nigeria's economic/developmental problems have NEVER been about a lack of incoming funds. Greed is the root cause.

If it sells at $200 or $20, the outlook for the average Nigerian makes no drastic change. Only those who perpetually steal the money will feel significant effects.

Some even mention "recession" in relation to this. How can an economy go from comatose to recession?

For this ur post, i am giving you 13lbs of pure muscles.

If the disagreement leads to a conflict, it will lead to increase in prices and not decline.

If they start a war, it will be a blessing in disguise for Nigeria. Oil prices will surge massively.
