BOOOMNAIJA: She made strident efforts to make us tread the path of rectitude. When Obasanjo became reckless, she resigned. Under Jonathan, she insisted that the President should memo and sign every request for money to be released to the NSA (Sambo Dasuki) , and she kept meticulous records. APC used almost 3 years to investigate her, before reluctantly agreeing that she was beyond reproach. This was one person who didn't need to enter government for gain. She is tested and trusted. The fact that she has the right kind of support from powerful people in the political and diplomatic community is an advantage. To be frank, it can't be proved that Trump is free from racism. She has American citizenship, so why block her progress if not that she is black? My view o... 4 Likes |

Maxymilliano: This is the ideal moment. Biden is overturning Trumps international disengagement policy. It isn't a distraction at all. It is at this precise moment that Biden is returning the US to multilateral institutions that the point should be made. And you can be sure that the letter is prepared on guidance from the State department looking at the support behind it. 1 Like |

BOOOMNAIJA: Oga with the crop of greedy politicians we have, nobody can singlehandedly turn around Nigeria's economy. You cannot vote in greedy idiots every 4yrs and expect a miracle from one person, where do you want her to start from? Nnpc or customs or senate or the presidency or our grredy governors or ministers? Even if you bring in world Bank to manage our economy it ll still fail.... .

Let us remember that she ran to lead te World Bank during the Obama-Biden administration. She was not supported by them. The US refusing to support her nomination for WTO chair has nothing to do with Trump, but everything to do with US trade interests which is bilateral trade, as opposed to multilateral trade agreements. So if American interests are not protected, Biden won't support her. 1 Like |

abumeinben: We speak so much about the value of the naira against the dollar, then you cited an example of the relative costs in importing a car. So since you seem to understand arm-chair economics, let me ask you again the question you conveniently ignored: "What mechanisms did Soludo use to crash the dollar?" As an addendum how sustainable is the mechanism? On the costs of importing a car, my question to you is if you have a manufacturing economy, would the exchange rate matter, i.e., would you import the things you produce? I suppose you studied basic demand and supply, the cost of dollars rises because we demand more dollars for imports. If we manufacture most of the things we import, the demand for dollars would drop, and you won't pay more to import a car. Finally, do this exercise for yourself: go and study the largest economies worldwide, you'd see that they are manufacturing or service oriented countries. I have been to several African countries and other foreign countries, the way many of you speak about the dollars, one would think you know what you are on about. Cheers. |

emkz: It was easier back then because oil was in high demand all over the world, and was sold between $80 to almost $110 per barrel. Today, oil is currently averaging $45 per barrel because the demand is low, and more producers are flooding the market. To bring back $1 = N120, we have to start massive exportation of products to foreign countries where they are in high demand. These trade transactions are usually made in $$$, and would allow us to boost our reserves of the USD. It's just a factor of supply and demand, but it's going to be very very difficult for this to happen in the present state of Nigeria. Meanwhile our foreign reserve has depleted from $2B in 2014 to $72M today. |
