Olodostein:

You have not answered my questions. I don't know why you are running away from them. Here they are again:

How does Nigeria get her huge chunk of foreign exchange? Do you export cars, computers and so on? We import almost everything tangible into this country. Do you buy goods abroad with Naira?

You keep talking about Tax this and Tax that. If you were taxed, would you pay? How sure are you that it won't become another baseless #OccupyNigeria!2.0? People don't have money to pay tax in Nigeria because money does not circulate well into the hands of ordinary folks who needs it to boost the economy from the bottom up.

What is monetary policy? How does the Central bank of Nigeria initiate such policy to stabilize the naira; that is by pumping Forex into the system. Do you think they print Naira at will? Why did they limit some big companies from acquiring huge chunk of our foreign exchange to the detriment of importers and occasional travelers like yourself, who need it for business and other things? If there was shortage supply of it, it would cause inflation, thereby eroding the value of your money in the bank, your wage or sales.

You keep talking about agriculture as well; what are you producing agriculturally? How many tonnes of rice and other food items do you import into this country a year? Do you have a modern agricultural equipments that will boost production? If not, are you going to buy those with Naira from China or some other countries? Why is Naira not accepted there?

I expected you to say that we needed innovation and indigenous manufacturing of both heavy and light industries. That is always the backbone of a nations economy.

I think you have oil syndrome, not everything is nigeria is about oil and there are many sectors in nigeria's economy. Nigeria's GDP is over $350 billion USD a year, out of that 14% is from the oil industry, meaning about 300 Billion USD is created by other se/ctors of the economy. I don't think you know Nigeria that well to be making such statements. No we don't export cars and no we don't export computer, exporting doesn't mean you have a functioning economy. Obviously I cant name every company but nigeria has numerous airlines, numerous construction company, numerous manufacturing companies such as innoson, numerous food processing companies such as golden penny, numerous private farms, and the list goes on and on. I'm not saying that nigeria has a develop economy but you are not giving nigeria's economy the credit it deserve.[/color]

I pay my taxes, it is your civic responsibility to pay taxes. There are numerous tax codes you can install so that you can collect tax from the poor without hurting them, for example you can tax them $1 dollar a year. 1 dollar times 150 million Nigerians means and extra 150 million more dollars for development. Thats just one of numerous way and methods you can tax people and of course Nigeria's tax will be less harsh than her foreign counterparts.

confused what does this have to do with anything? I think you went off topic here, I'm the one who was talking about the economy while beaf was the one talking about Foriegn Exchange. both of use were talking about different topic.

Like I said you have oil syndrome. just because the federal government is focused on oil doesn't mean that the private sector is doing nothing. There are many privately own farms in nigeria producing foods and crops like corn, cassava, palm oil, fruits, rice etc. as a matter of fact Nigeria produces 3.4 million tonnes of rice a year and output is expected to increase with the rise in investment. source

I did, Nigeria is not a develop country and does not have a develop economy but you guys don't give Nigeria's economy the credit it deserve.I'm not saying its perfect or the best, but rather its developing and progressing. of course it needs more work but you guys talk as if we live in somolia.

She tried to protest but he was a major contest, she even threatened to strike but he struck back, he sucked her excess account and squeezed her lovely economy. Her labour was in vain, wat a shame. He went on to deregulate her downstream sector dat was oily, she couldn't say anything. She cried cos he did it 97 times. We all are witnesses to d violation of the masses!

I also observed that their was no burning and looting!! I also observed that they were moving in an organized manner and[b] were not disturbing other people going about their normal busisness and I can't Ơ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ any road block and extortion going on on the federal roads even state roads and of course no body is smoking indian hemp aka EGBO aka MARY J aka abu saidi at the rally or was it mentioned on the[/b] op

Now I am beginning to see clearly that jonathan's increase in Oil price goes far beyond the subsidy and government improving the lives of Nigerians crap he was spreading.

Now I can see exactly what Jonathan is up to. He probably wants Nigeria to collapse leaving the North and West standing solely, while probably the South east is merged with the South-South. The continuous attacks by Boko haram in the North on Christians is just to bring division amongst even the very same people of the North and those of the West.

I think he probably have promised the South-South and South-Eastern governors that the chunk of the 'secret' money removed from oil subsidy will be to develop the region. Dieazi and Okonjo both are from the South-south and South-Eastern region respectively and the were the arrow heads of that policy. Sanusi only was used to speak on the Economy benefits to Nigerians.

I SMELL A CIVIL WAR!!!
