The site is not dead yet. But I can tell you that it's on the deathbed.

You're very right. So many useful topics in many sections and you won't see them on the front page. So many suggested good topics are ignored unless they have to do with snakes killing or eating, semi-naked actresses and other useless or depraved stories.

The rice revolution policy simply targeted how Nigeria could stop giving our oil sales dollars and forex to rice importers. prior to january 2015 the rice import bill stood at a stagering $665.4 million . this simply means the more we sell crude oil we just buy consumables and food staples.

changing that emeifiele started using unused money with the CBN to give soft loans to farmer (anchor borrowers program) and people intrested in building an owning a rice milling plant. and he stoped giving out our forex to rice importer and he told them to source their dollars else where.

as we stand today rice import bill is almost 10% of what it use to be and the money is going into other sectors

True
He is massively underestimated. One of the best CBN governors of all time.

With a misfiring president like buhari, adding a noisemaker like sanusi to the mix would be tragic.

Emefiele is significantly reducing the damage, calmly and maturely.

A CBN governor is not a politician. I think he is going back to zenith bank once he is done.

Though I wouldn't mind if he runs for governor of delta.
That State needs some sound economic handling.

He is the worst CBN governor since the start of democratic rule in 1999. Economy has barely grown by 1% since 2015, thanks to his permitting Buhari to meddle in the Central Bank policies.

Another 4 more years of lamentable economic growth

You're 100% correct. Let the crude oil price drop to $40 and it will simply collapse the economy.

Average growth rate since 2015 has averaged 1% yearly at best primary reason was that he allowed Buhari to dictate forex policies. He did not assert the banks semi autonomy.
