Whats good for Bubu's children is also good for our children. Why can't Bubu live by example?

Because he can, so can you? if not, why did you send your kids there in the first place if you can't

banki:
Is there anything wrong with what he said?

There is scarcity of dollars and most of it goes on school fees,and frivolities!

No more subsidising

U r a senile stupid bastard selfish idiot most foolish who thinks with is anus sycophant. Seriously I feel like cursing u d more buh I won't coz Ur type r meant to be kept in d zoo zombie sycophant

Bros it's simple economics...
Let me ask you and be sincere if you were in the president's shoes with the current fall in the price of crude and the fact that forex is scarce please tell me what you will do?

i will withdraw Zahra and enrol her in Ahmadu Bello. He's being selfish simple.

Sweetlemon:
Honestly I don't know what you want him to do. Pay your school fees from his pocket
Assuming the FX issue were his fault the statement would have been irresponsible. But it isn't his fault. He can only manage it the best way he can.

Then he don't know what to say at such moments. I don't blame him for the FX problems, I understand he is doing his best to fix Nigeria.

But you must understand it takes more than just policy or decisions to fix this country. For Gods sake he needs diplomacy in handling some public issues especially in the face of opposition.

That is where I like GEJ, he was not doing too well, but he has a way of addressing real issues to make you feel you're safe.

Anybody who is affected by this policy of FX and hears what buhari's response is will not like him again I tell you. There would have been a better way of saying what he meant. For instance;

Q; how do you pay your children school fees abroad?

And; I source doller like every other common Nigerian in the while, as I'm looking forward for the rest of my children to school at home.

In this manner he has given us confidence, and set a precedence for others to follow.

I swear his response was shallow and provoking even though he meant good.

How did u know that he is better Dan my father God forbid I have a father like DAT idiot.fork u and that ur soo call father

Just perception really if only Nigerian lecturers can do away with ASUU and focus on what they need to do. Then government needs to work on the school's infrastructure. It's in so deplorable state that private secondary schools now rate higher than the nest Federal University in terms of infrastructure.

Ramanto:

Wow.. It's Nice To Know You School Abroad. How Would You Liken Schooling Over There To Doing Same In Nigeria? Just Curious

Keep on dreaming...Buhari children will all school abroad..while you live in your dream world lol!

It's unfortunate u don't recognize sarcasm when u see one.

Bluffly:


Guy there is difference between studying abroad and coming back to Nigeria to make millions while affecting few lives and studying abroad to come and affect many lives. You have also reduced the skills transfer to just making money. Our going out to study abroad is basically to make us a research hub. If the knowledge we have gathered so can not be geared into research that will bring us about making our own, then its useless. You mentioned Smile Internet which is basically a service which is not of our making. I see channels such as extreme engineering and its manny likes as regards innovations, we have many internationally trained engineers, did you see their impact. Everyone only came back to assure their survival.

You're not serious.

Studying abroad is not solely about making Nigeria a 'research hub'. Improvements in technology pushes the nation forward. Not every damn thing is about 'making our own'. What 'our own' is a foreign trained medical doctor or specialist to make? Or a software developer? Or a HR specialist?

When people come back and start up successful companies that employ many Nigerians, how the heck is that not adding value back to the country? Is Smile or Hotels.ng not an employer of Nigerian labor?

Nobody cares if people came back to 'ensure their survival'. It's the end product that matters. And if those guys add value back to the country, that's what matters.

Bluffly:

If you studied mechatronics abroad, why not go and lecture in the university and see how you can impact lives, get the government to invest in research or private sectors rather than looking out to become a millionaire.

Hundreds of Nigerians come back to lecture. How the heck did you miss that? If you've gone through the University, are you really that oblivious to the fact that a lot of your lecturers were trained overseas, at least for their PhDs?

Bluffly:


Hotels.ng is similar to Booking .com in the UK. If you look behind it you will realise that there is a foreign technicality behind it. If will can not sit down and make it Nigerian then its bullshit. Its okay to start with the foreign support but not for long. But in Nigeria, the foreign support sticks.

Nope. The Hotels.ng guy did the development himself. In fact, he pretty much chronicled his work on twitter while he was working away at it.

Bluffly:

Until we start replicating all these things from the point of research and development everything is a mirage. A good example is China. They study abroad but see how they've been able to replicate things. When you pick India and China, Nigeria is next on foreign education and yet we are so wide apart from them in terms of earth breaking innovations.

There are numerous Nigerians who have come back and have put in their two cents to move Nigeria forward technologically. There are areas that need a massive, sustained investment from the Government and from enlightened graduates to make a difference in. Nigerians are already working within private and international companies to deliver world class performances. But if you think China and India just harnessed a handful of returnees with zero support and poor power to work on hi-tech products, you're on a long thing.

Ironically, Buhari is trying to discourage this manpower investment by his indifference.

Bluffly:

Tough decisions are needed in tough times. He pegged FX while trying to see what can be done to salvage the economy futuristically. We have very few FX as a nation and if they keep servicing every FX demands then we will be left with no FX since the FX is no more flowing in unlike before. Have you seen anyone making it through enjoyment? You want everything to keep bubbling while we are moving towards death rather than for us to be sober while trying to birth life.

'Tough decisions' yet he fritters away our Forex on pilgrimage, gives it to business moguls who pay relatively meager tax and spends it on frivolous foreign trips that are of limited or no use whatsoever?

Am tempted to "like".

johnmark1234:

banki:

It just tells you that copy copy doesnt pay, parents borrowed money to send their kids to schools they couldnt afford, just to show off and keep up with the joneses, now see the result.

Just becos your child schooled abroad doesnt mean he/she will be rich. A brighter future is goes beyond where you schooled.

This is a very wrong move informed by confusion and deliberate ignorance. The demand for dollar and creation of scarcity is caused by the Cbn who sell dollars to hoarders such as Banks who then sell to black market to make outrageous profit rather than their customers.

This move would only make demand for dollars higher as parents would now source for dollars from parallel market which would increase the parrallel rate.

If the Cbn and Buhari led government stop helping parents to pay fees of their wards in Foreign universities and the rate of dollar dont improve consequent of the reduction of "alleged pressure on the naira by parents who are sourcing for dollars for their wards abroad as claimed by Buhari"

Then we know he was lying and very clueless on how to manage Africas biggest economy.

His son and 2 daughter's school in the UK....I just had to clear your doubt since you wanna ignorantly defend this man

banki:


Abeg which of buharis kids is currently in school abroad?
Besides what he simply says is if you want forex to pay for school fees go to the banks and bureau de change, govt will stop subsidizing dollars the only people that will benefit from dollar subsidy now is manufaturers

Keep dreaming

rottennaija:


Sacrifices have to be made if we are to succeed in turning the economy around. Everyone has to sacrifice, but we will all have reasons to enjoy

In Nigeria like in most other countries, there is almost no other way of getting foreign currency except through banks and BDC's and in Nigeria you can't even get a BDC to make an international transfer except through your bank....so how will the school fees of people now be paid?

modath:


Most commenters are just being contrary & antagonistic for petty reasons...

If anyone needs subsidized forex to pay fees, then it's safe to conclude they can barely afford it... which is the crux of the matter..

Education is important ,but foreign education is only useful for the recipient & relatives so it's not a major national emergency that will warrant that pharmaceutical,raw materials for essential goods & services oil,life threatening medical ailments etc take a back seat to it...

We can keep pretending like we don't know the dilemma of a mono export economy with decline in the value of such commodity but our precarious situation is clear for the Late Ray Charles to decipher...

I am a lecturer in Nigeria currently studying Abroad. For this semester i am taking a course in Applied Animal molecular biology so that i can be exposed to DNA extraction, use of pcr machine and stuff like that. From the tetfund scholarship given to me i ordered for a pcr machines, downloaded journals from subscribe data base of my university abroad and sent to my Nigerian so called e-library. I made copies of textbooks not available in Nigeria. I made copies of important textbooks for my use and my students. In terms of technology we are lost. Please PMB we are in same page in wanting the best for Nigeria.

Look here, we are discussing and do not ever come insulting, okay. Why telling me I am not serious. If you will state your facts, state it without hurling insults.

Cont.....

I took courses in Genetics, statictis not because they are requirements but for the sake of knowledge that would be transferred to Nigerian students. I tried to master current technologies that can be transferred. See i have a fairly used car abroad that run on gas (NPV). Buhari should send people to Malaysia to study this car that uses none combustible gas (NPV).

Nigerian students in Asia are working hard to transfer technology to Nigeria. We should be encouraged.

You clearly don't school abroad that's why you're talking like this...and the problem is the President is inconsiderate and its the same with you too....its sad!

buhari is a lost cause, right nw nigeria's situation is jst lyk making an inexperienced dude to bcom d captain of a ship. can u imagine dis guy sayin one of d causes of the fall in naira is as a result of parents using dollars to pay they children's fees abroad? dats d height of being daft. the idiota didnt attribute the fall of the naira to the fact that nigeria has nothing to export which will make foreigners demand for its currency. we beta impeach dis guy b4 d country's economy becomes a sorry situation.
