What has this got to do with forex scarcity

Even during jonathan's time the dollar had already started falling over 200.
Its not about change or continuity, its about falling oil prices and our mono-economy. If u want to build forex then we need to start exporting rather than importing!

The highlighted is one of the definitions of luxury. So whether one resides in opulence or not, certain things characterize luxury, and in my humble opinion, sending a kid abroad for studies is valuable, perhaps helpful, giving the decadence in our education sector; but ultimately, its luxury!

modath:



High chief of neverlandd, what are you producing? If you have, exporting it won't be a problem, People who are into cashew export are making a killing right now so don't peddle falsehood, the problem is that most people became over reliant on cheap oil proceeds & didn't look for alternatives before now..

Why did you also sidestep your earlier assertion? Ba sincerity of purpose ko?


Mr wailer up there, schooling abroad is a luxury!! that your country's educational standard is falling & you choose to seek alternative (great decision) is cool, but it doesn't make it less of a luxury!!!!

Some things are just common sense & logic, wailing, nit picking & bitching about everything isn't opposition...

Firefire:


How to do expect any Nigerian to export anything in this hardship and economic conditions ? How do you compete favorably in the international market ?



As much as I sympertize with this administration, I will surely not shy away from my strong opposition stand, we warned Nigerians not to return back to Egypt & slavery, they refused to listen. See the nemesis now.

CBN no longer independence to marshal its best policy, but rather take orders from the dullard.

Has it ever crossed your mind that what you consider as the barest basic may be a luxury to some people. What then do you say about that.

That you don't have kids overseas either means you don't have any kids yet or you cant afford to send them in which case its a luxury for you because it not available for you.

But these other guys can afford it and can pay for it. Its not a luxury to them. They consider it basic to be able to send welfare to their wards.

A set of people cannot afford to educate their wards even in Nigeria. Education is a luxury to them. Whereas for you it is probably one of the basic basics.

That certain things don't concern your world does not mean you should be indifferent or cynical about the plight of those who are affected. You could be the one in their shoes.

Weep no more parents,coz there are lots of universities,polytechnics & college of education here in Nigeria..
They should all withdraw there lads from all those oversea schools coz they are using those kids studies oversea to delapiidate the little foreign reserve we have tht would have being used @ forex for importation of important goods into the country,,,
only students going to study professional courses & those going for research with guarantee tht they will return to practise should only be given preference...
why should a student be going abroad to study political sc.,sociology,etc with our foreign reserve s going down the drain.,,abeg let them withdraw all of them & send to schools in Nigeria,,afterall,there are still gud private universities here if u feel u dont like govt. Owned schools..

Her Father is President and an ex head of the state. The constitution grants her several privileges based on the status of her Father, If you don't like it, you should have complained when your "best President" was in power, he might have listened to you.




As for the parents complaining, this is nothing to wail about. Lots of Nigerians in the US send money home monthly, tell your kids to find one or several of them, agree on an exchange rate and pay the naira equivalent into the account here in Nigeria.

Its that simple.

Lito18:
which private university? The place you bought your result?

achodave:
If the government wants to stop Nigerian students from going abroad to study,they should scrap JAMB and create better admission opportunities and processes here,why cause JAMB is more of a business than an admission body,if they want the ones overseas to come back and school here in Nigeria,then they should order Universities to startup functional transfer programs so the ones overseas can easily continue from whatever level they stopped over there.

Saying they should stop wasting there time crying and come back to Nigeria just like that is not fair,especially to the average families who are doing there best to train there ward abroad so he or she studies the discipline he wants probably because here in Nigeria they either deny your admission or change your course.So let's be open minded before we start abusing them.

Lito18:
Dey for Nigeria roast. Jobless human being

playtheblues:
So if you had the opportunity to attend Universities abroad you would have declined the offer?


Remind me of Zhara Buhari's school please.

Mrtesso:



Be calm bro...U mind me asking where u had ur tertiary education? No need for specifics, just where; here or overseas?

Firefire:
The promised change is a scams, all can see now.


This administration low economic skill as evidence is her many policy somersault shows APC is 'suegbe-pako'

Meritocracy:
Do you think PDP would be able to manage this nation with the current oil price and its looting records ? ? ? Think

Deepfreezer:
I didn't say the are criminals, by shipping, I meant Nigerian parents spend billions annually for studies abroad. if they spend all that money here collectively we shall grow our economy and improve our Education standard.

Mrtesso:



That's like modifying what I stated, only from an extreme perspective. Get it right - that something is termed luxury doesn't in anyway make it unattainable and/or unaffordable. So education abroad can be affordable, yet seen as luxury because quality education is still fairly available here in Nigeria. So those who chose to send wards abroad whether they have the means all gotten or not, are engaging in a luxurious enterprise.


However, education isnt the only sector affected by the FX unavailability. Other sectors are affected, and im concerned in someway. However, if footing the bills of ones ward abroad isnt luxury, then by all means the lamenting is unwarranted. And as u know, FX is available in black markets. It's only more expensive. But its available anyway. If banks don't sell, we all know where its sold. I mean, its basic to them, right?
