Ikonjo Iweala is planning to increase tax rates even VAT,then maybe fuel and other energy cost will follow,instead of reducing the price just like Yar'ADUA did. But they are not talking of reducing the Satanic Entitlements of The National Assembly,Executives,and other MDG'S HEAD,and plugging sources of waste,stealing and corruption. She also talks of diversifying the economy since she came to office,but did not do anything apart from publishing the monthly allocation to states and local governments. When the oil price was high why didn't we enjoy prosperity? Instead they wanted to kill with high energy costs using Voodoo Statistics of subsidy Even with all this,the stealing continues to increase,the corruption also competing with rates of stealing,looting spree advancing. 1 Like |

synergycom19: She has no choice....we need the oil price to be $126 per barrel to meet financial obligations....but right now it is below $60..and falling (inspite of what the Saudi Minister of Petroleum would have you believe).So, the taxes have to go up...or else there will be no kudi(and while I think the National Assembly needs its money supply reduced....it still may not help much.) |

This is one best thing to happen to Nigeria, we are on the road to greatness. we're known to spring surprises when the world think we're totally down.

tit:Good on you for looking out for the silver lining. It would only be a boon if we were an export based economy like china. But we don't produce anything. Most entrepreneurs here are traders and a rising dollar can only be a bad thing. People who make rare items like hand crafted bags, shoes etc would do okay which ever direction the dollar goes. |

tit:Not cheaper, more expensive in fact. Only commodities exporters will gain from a weaker naira because they'll earn more nairas for every dollar worth of their commodities. Industrial manufacturers on the other hand will have to pay more nairas for raw materials and machinery which they have to import. |

Ignorance being showcased by the usual suspects. The cost of everything is rising. Cement is back to its old price. The goods that will be manufactured require materials bought with forex. Even the chinko innoson cars will increase in price. And some illiterates are demonstrating that they are still under their parents roof. 1 Like |

[quote author=Elcapo post=29041522]# Nigeria is really getting interesting.. Fellow compatriots, we need not shout nor fight ourselves. President Goodluck Johnathan is a good man as a person,his simplicity and gentlemanness is second to none. *He has given us his very BEST over the last 6 years. I mean,what else are we asking for? *He has granted Alameisiya 'STATE PARDON' and my guy is now running for Senate. *He allowed Fayoose to distrupt a court session and beat up a judge, while he walks freely. I wonder if Nigeria is sane. *He locked up the house of rep from the entrance of the CONSTITUTIONAL speaker of that house. *7 law makers impeached a speaker in Ekiti in a house of about 26 men, and nothing happened. *16 was suddenly greater than 19 in base 10, just to cancel the one-term agreement he signed with the NIGERIA Governors' Forum and all Nigerians in 2011. *Subsidy has been removed and the standards in our hospitals have reduced with time. *$20 billion is missing and minister of Petroleum eats and dines with the prexy. *Another BIGGER & BOLDER subsidy is scheduled for 1st of June,2015 and you may have to sell your laptop charger before you can buy fuel to charge that same laptop!!! * Earlier this year, over 22 innocent Nigerians were killed and injured in the job scam organized by the Nigerian Immigration Service(NIS) . The Minister of Interior, Abba Moro,told us the job interview was "simply mismanaged" and he has retained his office and even with extra luggage. *1 Naira used to be equal $1 to 1.4 under # GMB but now it's #194 to just $1, the worst ever in our history. * Madam Gele, Ngozi Okonjo, just told us we need an extra $5billion, through debts of course, so that our economy will not collapse like Humpty-Dumpty. *While Benue State University was on an unending internal strike killing the future of poor Nigerians, Senator DAVID MARK (son of the soil) built his own PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, of course with tax payers' money, and my gentle nice president followed him to launch the school shamelessly. *He has spent all money in the treasury and even had to BORROW an extra $1billion but # BokoHaram keeps getting more equipped than our military. *Over 200 girls are missing, over 15,000 killed by # BokoHaram, over 6 million displaced from their homes and uncountable injured beyond repairs yet my president went to a meeting in # KENYAwith 7 different PRIVATE JETS.. *clears throat... * # PHCN is giving their loyal customers GENERATORS as xmas gifts for paying their # electricitybills on time.....

Buhari will stabilise the oil price when he becomes president while Rochas will help us exchange 1dollar to 1 naira. Economic goofs! Under this government, we import less cars and less food and some people are yet to see the diversification of the economy. What is happening to the naira now is called speculation and it is affecting all high population oil expoting countries. A weaker naira is very good for the economy in the sense that it will spur local manufacturing and decrease import why increasing export. Removing fuel subsidy will discourage corruption in the sector and encourage importers of refined petroleum products to setup refineries locally; by doing this, all the forex used in the importation of refined fuel will be saved. The reality is that the people of Nigeria fought the only government that had the courage to usher in this sustainable development. We do not want to make sacrifices to gain our future. Subsidies should be directed to encourage local production and not importation. The orient refinery in Anambra is not producing today largely because there is no profit to be made in a highly subsidised market. Nigerians own refineries abroad because there is little or no profit to be made in the nigerian market. 1 Like |

It's obvious that you APC peeps don't even know what's happening in the world oil and gas sector. You guys are just unnecessarily lousy and that's why your so called proclaimed saviour said he would make sure the prize of oil is stabilized and that's to tell you that he is empty headed cos he didn't see diversification as the first and needed action . He probably thinks the price of oil could be manipulated like the price of cattle or fura denunu. For your information, more diversified economies such as Russia are even experiencing worse conditions. The supply of oil in the world market is high thereby forcing price to plummet and this is really affecting our foreign exchange earning & foreign reserve since Nigeria is a monocultural economy. Now tell me, is the president the cause of the fall in the price of oil in the world market? Was our economy multicultural before this present dispensation? The cause of this problem is the lazy nature of Nigerians. Other regions don't contribute to national earnings because of earnings from oil and gas. I live in Nasarawa and the state is rich in narural resources of all sort but the state government is just idle doing nothing to harness these opportunities, they wait for monthly allocation from the centre........ I really pity Nigeria and Nigerians 2 Likes |

Imagine you're sitting back one evening, planning your holiday shopping list, knowing that every day you wait to get to the shops, the value of your money will be losing ground. That's what's happening in places like Russia, Venezuela, Nigeria and other nations that rely heavily on oil exports. Oil was more than $100 a barrel at the start of the summer. Now it's around $70 a barrel, and many forecasts say it could go lower still. Falling oil prices have been good news for consumers and businesses here in the U.S. and in the many countries around the world that import oil. But it's having a domino effect in oil-exporting nations. Government budgets are strained. Economies are struggling. The currency is crashing. |

Leebeedo: Most of the people supporting APC know what they are talking about. The full in charge of the economy is clueless. Cluelessness is and infectious disease that good luck has transferred to the woman in charge of the economy. The measures that she is putting in place know should have been in place long ago. She is panicking now knowing her reputation as an economist she has failed. Back to you we listen to business news all the time you cannot lecture us about oil and gas. Further more, technology is changing every day so the demand for oil keeps falling. 1 Like |

tit: This makes no sense at all. The naira is weaker only relative to foreign currencies, so that cannot affect the cost of producing goods or doing business in Nigeria. It can only affect the balance of trade, it makes it cheaper for foreigners to buy Nigerian goods and more expensive for Nigerians to import foreign goods. If Nigeria had a huge manufacturing base and export market already then a weaker naira might make sense but that is not the case, we are an import economy. 3 Likes 1 Share |
