CBN Governor Highlights Whats Wrong With The Nigeria Economy - A Must Read by amagunnerfan: 4:14pm On Mar 31, 2016 |
It is either I do not understand economics and how exchange rates work or a vast majority of us Nigerians still don’t get how we have wrecked our country with our own curious choices. Just this morning I was listening to the radio and the lady on air went on and on about how she thought CBN governor Godwin Emefiele was incompetent and should be sacked because the naira was now exchanging at 309 or so to the USD. I hope Seun, lalasticlala and mynd44 or whoever helps give this the publicity it deserves. 1 Like 1 Share |

Sadly many people won't read this article. They will claim it is too long for them to read. Sadly. The newspapers and the journalist won't spread this type of article. Reason? It is saying the truth. The lies just as bad news sells more. The truth isn't so sensational while the lies will make sensational headlines. Many people complaining about the economy don't even send their wards to Nigeria schools, they don't even trust Nigeria doctors. We keep growing other people's economy and complain that our economy is bad. Why won't it be bad? We call any Nigeria made product "Aba made" which is another way of saying fake when it necessarily isn't fake. The same people complaining about the economy are the same people complaining about the Dasuki's, the Dokpesi of this world been prosecuted for corruption. Whats more annoying is that the youth who should know better have allowed the idiotic politicians sell them a lie without doing their own investigation. It is even sadder considering the fact that people can easily know the truth via the internet without leaving the comfort of their homes but for whatever reason(s) ( chief among which is extreme laziness that seems to be sadly associated with his generation ) they choose not to. A little research will show Libya, Brazil the almight Saudi, Venzuela among others are suffering way more than Nigeria mainly because their economy have been overly reliant on oil. 4 Likes |

What is wrong with the Nigerian economy is the lack of coherence and masterplan from the leadership since April 2015 which is driving away foreign investors, making local ones sit on their cash, which like a domino has affected every other area of our economic web. There was just no plan for a transition, when you turn tea in a cup to the right for a length of time overtime all momentum goes to the right, if there is a sudden switch to the left, their will be a tempest in the teacup and some will still but over time, things will return to normal and all momentum shifts to the left, muhammadu buhari spilled the tea and still does'nt know how to clean it up... 2 Likes

I see some truth in what the article says but it only applies to a small segment of the Nigerian population, the elite and the "middle class". The market women, the farmers, the okaka riders, the vulcanizers, the akara sellers etc make up the larger percentage of our population and they don't drink champagne or wear designer clothes, they don't travel for summer, shop in shoprite or send their children abroad. The truth is this segment of the population never went to Kingswear or Leven is, never bought made in Nigeria cars and never holidayed in Yankari game reserve or Obudu cattle ranch. These people who are the bulk of Nigerians never had electricity or roads or good schools or good health care ever in the history of Nigeria. All these people want is food, something to wear and a place to lay their heads. So when castigating Nigerians, plese castigate you and I the privilege few that have education and exposure and instead of making things better for others are only interested in ourelies and our comfort and giving only our children the best education. That applies to less than 20 million Nigerians and I am being generous here the other 150 million cannot share in the blame with us. 1 Like |

It still doesn't change the fact that your policies are anti people and unfriendly. Knowing how bad the living conditions of people are, How do you justify the charges you impose on us for using our atms? You charge a 1050 naira to issue cards then you charge card handling charges. What are you handling that yoou are charging for after handing the cards to us? Most annoying is that this money is not even for the government but it's you making your colleagues, friends and business owner rich. Forget the sweet talk and examples. You and Fashola no be am |

The day we the masses start stoning the political elite, recalling them anytime they misbehave at the National level, that is when we start developing as a nation. Look at the dasuki gate saga, the people throwing gibes at the current administration are those same set of people you tried to relieve of any blame. we are all to blame because one way or the other, we supported them. 1 Like |

Maghan37: Said on a privately-run forum, no doubt through a privately manufactured PC or phone, and using a privately operated telco. Yes, let's go back to the good old days of NITEL and Nigeria Airways! Are you even old enough to remember those wonderful times before privatisation supposedly "ruined" Nigeria? The problem with Nigeria is that for the last 56 years it has been run by corrupt and inept leaders, who have been kept in office by hordes of ignorant, barely literate - or even outright illiterate - supporters who care about nothing but whether or not a politician is from their tribe and village. When what passes for "debate" is idiots who can't even tell apart supply and demand curves nonsensically quarreling about Okonjo-Iweala and Adeosun, is it any surprise that the leaders they get are utterly useless? It is tiresome to read articles like this one which attempt to shift the blame for Nigeria's problems onto consumption of foreign goods, when the real problem is that Nigerian politicians' own poor choices are to blame for making domestic companies noncompetitive. In a better world, Nigeria would be a cheaper place to manufacture textiles, shoes and toothpicks than faraway China, but how can any domestic entrepreneurs take advantage of this when faced with the lack of electricity, the terrible roads, the barely functioning railroads, the sky-high rate of robberies and fraud, topped off by demands for bribes at every level of government? How can you run and grow a business without access to credit, and when your savings are always under threat from galloping inflation? How do you draw up and execute a long-term business plan when economically illiterate politicians arbitrarily ban imports and freeze the FX rate at artificial values? Is it any surprise then that aso-ebi cloth from Switzerland and toothpicks from China should win out under the circumstances? Nigeria will only start to make real economic progress when Nigerians start to care more about politicians' proposals and track records than about where they're from and what religion they follow. Unfortunately I don't believe such a day will come any time soon, given how even the most blatant revelations of corruption always turn up swarms of morons to defend the thieves. 3 Likes |

I think all these arguments about our economy deteriorating because we are not buying made in Nigeria products is a little bit exaggerated. While i agree that we need to produce more, and we need to patronize made in Nigeria's products. I think there is a concerted effort by some foreign and local interest to reduce, or eliminate completely Nigerians economic, operative and industrilizing competitive advantage. I think Nigerians are helping more in advancing their objectives based on the story we tell ourselves. For example, why would our media continue to manipulate and speculate on naira? There is a reason why country like UK will continue to manipulate there currency and not allow it devalue further even when they're not part of the EU. Because it protects their competitive advantage. This same reasoning is why China will continue to manipulate their currency to protect their competitive advantage. So, why should our case be different? By agreeing to float our currency, when our economy is not ready is one of the primary reason why Nigeria is in this conundrum today. Now we have to go through currency instability. Currency instability leads to vulnerable economy. Vulnerable economy leads to high inflation. High inflation leads to high interest rates. High interest rates leads to short term business planning, high importation rates, low manufacturing planning, closure of manufacturing facilities, contraction of ecojomic activities, job losses and others. We need to protect our country from going into economic oblivion. Nigeria needs a positive story. A believable story that can rewrite our fortune. A story that will galvanize all Nigerians to be upright and forthright in their actions, and be more patriotic in their dealings. A Nigerian story strategized by government, promote inherently by media, echoed and re-echoed by Nigerians. "Nigerian change strategy, planning, implementation and survival begins with me". |

What a scrap. I feel the author thinks like Buhari, who feels that Nigerians returning to old social order is a solution to modern day civility. Where are the laws to guide human behaviour and corresponding penalties spelt out without ambiguities? Where are the new policies to support local industries? Even the export support grant has been scrapped. Who are the promoters of buy Nigeria and make Nigeria great again? The ruling party is even antagonising the opposition for promoting the policy. Will the North and West patronise made in Aba products notwithstanding the immediate challenges in quality assurance? A country is divided along ethnic lines and is at war with itself hence the centre cannot hold. Nigeria is bound to fall apart one day for building on a faulty foundation. 1 Like |
