Tinubu has the right to support any contestant of his choice but did Tinubu ask Buhari to destroy Nigeria?

Was Tinubu part of his government? Was he a minister or adviser in Buhari government? Think before you comment.

Are you telling me that if an avid Tinubu supporter became President today and started complaining about Tinubu's governance, you wouldn't laugh at them?

Tinubu should be blamed for the previous administration's failures. Before the election, him and many of his supporters were bragging about putting Buhari in power. Why the change now?

Your Igbo pathetic soul is only labouring in vain to your doom. This news support Tinubu more than harm himmlike you want everyone to believe.

From this report you can see he met just $3 billion which is next to nothing in reserve. Now compare how much

Obasanjo
Yardua
Ebele
Buhari

All met in reserve when they became president ? Can you now see there is a solid case as to why he can not succeed if he didn't succeed. Many of you ipob no just gree get sense with your foolish sensationalism of every negative news about Nigeria.


Shut up you ignoramus. OBJ meet just 1.5bn in reserve. The amount Yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari met in the reserve was saved by the same PDP you dirty ignoramus love to denigrate.
APC is a massive failure

This is not at all alarming, it's a remark possibly intended to get more information/positioning on the strategic steps of those managing Nigeria's foreign reserves. -CBN). These figures are estimate that considers the recent borrowing against reserves and currency swaps. JP Morgan believes the real reserve is smaller due to these factors. They adjusted the total forex reserves by including their own $5 billion in International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights (SDR), resulting in about $37.8 billion in total gross reserves. The CBN i believe will handle the pressure despite low reserves because of profitable swap arrangements with banks.

We have changed guard and policy, we should expect a recalibration or balancing act, the news has both positive and negative aspects. On one hand, the fact that Nigeria is engaging in swap deals, futures contracts, and forward contracts suggests that the country is taking proactive steps to manage its foreign exchange reserves and financial stability. These financial instruments provide a level of flexibility and risk management in dealing with currency fluctuations and economic challenges.

For me, this news is calling for more info, audience, business or reminder to the Govt to respond in particular way or manner. Thats why its out in the public dormain

Kyari just went to borrow $3bn based on crude futures to pay for subsidy. They are all blind to that now. Few years down the line they'll blame Kyari while leaving out the man who sanctioned the move

In accounting, what you really have is 3.7billion if all other things are deducted...that is the real figure..they have factored in debts and other foreign deductions...Nigeria owes alot...about 15 billion dollars to Goldman Sachs and co...which nigeria cant repay in due time meaning they will deduct the money from the foreign reserve as stated in terms and condition in accessing the loan....the external reserve is really low...if this subsidy can be used in settling 500bn monthly debts then good..if mismanaged again, then there will be wahala in the nearest future....

How do you think this will be affected if Nigeria stages a military intervention.

Did the government claim they saved billion of dollars in the first 30 days of the subsidy removal? I very much doubt it as the amount to be spent subsidizing fuel for the whole year was to to $10bn.

It’s so simplistic and hypocritical to put all the blame on Buhari. We’ve been on this path for a very long time and getting here is inevitable. Sadly, a lot of you don’t even understand why we are here and what should be done going forward. You all just want to troll and pass blame on those you did not support politically.

We’ve been wasting all our oil revenue on importation of refined petroleum products, subsidizing the rest of Africa, subsidizing electricity, defending the Naira etc. These are very popular policies that all governments since 1999 have tried to stop but we all keep forcing them to keep it going.

Like I said before, we either accept the ongoing reforms introduced by the president or watch the economy crash in the next 4-8 years maximum. With this new report from JP Morgan, we may not have more than 4 years self.

All subsidies must go no matter how painful. We should also consider increasing our oil production in the interim to get more forex. If it entails leaning OPEC, we should leave. Double our oil production and sell a little below the market price. Desperate times requires desperate measures.

Everything should also be done to ensure Dangote refineries and PH refineries come on board this year. We can’t continue to import refined petroleum products with this level of forex reserve. We just have to look inwards.
Another APC lying machine.
If you claim the reserves have been on a decline since 1999 can you explain how reserves grew from 1.5bn in 1999 to $65bn in 2008 and leaving it at $35bn in 2015?
You APC minions helped destroy this country by doubling down on Buhari just because you want to see Tinubu become president in 2023.
It is that selfish desire that has brought us to where we are.
So you guys should stop shifting blame. Own up to the results of your political strategy.

What matters to the common man is better life and not the amount of billions in foreign reserve.

No, you are totally wrong

The strength of your foreign reserves tells foreign investors whether to invest in your country or not.

If you don't have enough foreign reserves, it scares foreign investors because it suggests to them to that they could be taxed multiple times for a broke economy to keep going.

Secondly, huge foreign reserves mean your currency is well hedged against any unforeseen circumstances, say war, hyperinflation, etc.

So, huge foreign reserves strengthen a country and make them great destination for foreign investments. Every country needs foreigners to pump money into their economy and help them grow and create jobs.

It's quite unfortunate APC has been lying to us for years now.

The highest financier of ecomog/ecowas is nigeria...We have banditry and terrorism in our suburb states. The money to be used for military intervention isn't contained in the budget of 2023, so the money for arms replenishment and military wages must come from somewhere...the budget.It gets depleted because of no provision for military intervention, then the next thing is to keep borrowing especially if the war is prolonged and the cost of the after effect of the war is still there...

These foreign banks should try to stfu sometimes😏

You should be ashamed of yourself. Everything is not sentiment and politics. The projection by JP Morgan is there’s no money saved from subsidies anywhere like Tinubu claimed. And if CBN accesses the $3 billion loan it wants to inject into the economy to stabilize the naira. Then $3B loan - $3B reserves . It means Naija is in serious comatose. The Economy has shrunk. Wether it was Buhari or Tinubu dealings, the point is that APC has dealt with us.
And the plan to stabilize the naira against dollar just can’t work! Nigeria is on a downward spiral and brace up for tough times. Economics is not sentimental, how you manage it is what you get.
Now it’s left for you to keep defending or see clear reasons.

Of course it's for his own interest. The truth is most of our politicians are not patriotic. They see our public offices like a booty to be captured.
Just imagine kicking Jonathan out just so you can reinforce Buhari twice while it was obvious by 2019 that he had no mental or physical ability to continue as president.
Now, even him and his supporters lack ideas on how to rejig the economy. He is only joining forward to squeeze Nigerians tight while waiting for foreign investments.

It is your father that is ashamed not mine.
Yaradua and Ebele met $45bn which was saved by OBJ. They are all PDP.
If you're not daft, ask yourself why Buhari could not improve on $35bn he met but depleted it for his fellow party man to $3bn. So why call PDP into APC's mismanagement of our reserves?
Your claim of PDP destroyed this country is a silly as it is dumb.

Tinubu claimed he saved N1trn in July. You also claimed it as evidence his policies are working. N1trn then was about $1.5bn.
