you are saying "he is building his 'own empire' with people he can trust, work with and hold accountable".

again, you have used the word "trust" when earlier you said that the people who were in the dissolved boards were "trustworthy. why were they removed if they were trustworthy?

could the people in the dissolved boards not be held accountable or could they not work with tinubu ?

remember that you said those same people were competent. if they were, why then can tinubu not build this "empire with the people in the dissolved boards since you said those people are competent and trustworthy?

what do you mean by "it is normally done this way"? what is normally done this way?

There is no contradiction here, know this. By the way, cut Tinubu some slack Mr Idealist would you...

GeneralDae:


1. Since the law is vague on suspension, if I were the president I would also do what BAT has done.

2. Doesn't matter. Officially naira was floated by the CBN. That's all that matters.

3. You are repeating questions. When you have one rate at 460 and another at 720, the gap is too wide giving room for arbitrage. Those who send dollars to Nigeria and are supposed to get it at the CBN rate have problems. Some people buy at 450 naira and sell at 750 naira. This is common sense and I don't know why you are repeating these questions. Do your research.

4. We don't know because the oil marketers would start importing from next month and most likely at this new exchange rate. If it remains 560 naira then it's likely there's still slight subsidy. If it increases then it means truly no subsidy at all. I favour 20% subsidy to leave it at 450-500 naira no matter what.

5. Auto correct. I meant to say Finance Minister Zainab. I'm sure you know but you are grasping at straws now.
NNPC made it clear they have been borrowing. Mele Kyari in his interview said they are almost defaulting and there's a 2.8 trillion naira debt. Do your research man.

6. I don't understand this question.

It seems you don’t know the Mumurist lexy2014? He will ask you the same question repeatedly.

Get well soon

At least, I am mentally healthier than you.

Nobody who is mentally healthy will sideline all the presidential materials in Nigeria but goes for Tinubu to become president of his/her country.
Those who sidelined healthy and cleaner Osinbajo but put Tinubu with Shettima as VP have intention for a president Shettima shortly, I understand this; you don't have the mental capacity to understand this.

favor914:
It seems you don’t know the Mumurist lexy2014? He will ask you the same question repeatedly.

where are the same questions i have asked him repeatedly

lexy2014:


1. which law is there on suspension that you say is vague? can you quote the law? i didnt ask you about you would have done if you were tinubu. i asked if you say that the CBN governor is meant to eb idependent and then you justify his suspension by saying "when their monetary policies don't align with your fiscal policies, the people still blame you mostly. So you have to take critical decisions", how is that independence?

2. that is not all that matters. if you claim that Emefiele had to be suspended before floating of the naira could be done, then on whose instruction was the naira floated after the CBN governor was suspended?

3. what has that got to do with foreign investors? earlier you said it is about much they arent able to repatriate back home. now you are saying it is about "Those who send dollars to Nigeria and are supposed to get it at the CBN rate have problems.". which one are you saying?

(b)meanwhile, what benefits have accrued to nigerians with the floating of the naira?

4. I didnt ask you about when oil marketers will start importing and I didnt ask to state the reason for anything. this are my questions...its not a question of "we would know". it is YOU. there is no "we" except YOU have no idea what you talking about. is it removal or is it reduction? you have to be clear.

(b)what benefit has accrued to nigerians as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy?

5. based on your research, how does that answer the question...when did NNPC borrow to import and subsidise fuel and from who did NNPC borrow?

6. pls how long did it take Tinubus predecessors to appoint new service chiefs?

1. Go and read CBN act.

Yes the act is not clear on whether the president can suspend the CBN Governor or not but only listed conditions for the removal.

Therefore until the act is amended, there is room for the president to exploit this. That means, although CBN is meant to be independent, until the CBN act is amended the president can still suspend the CBN Governor.

2. I believe it was on BAT's instruction but we have no proof and that's the most important thing. BAT can simply say he advised the new acting CBN to float the naira and he took to his advice.

3. I am saying both. Read more about this topic. Also read the speech of the Airtel chairman who recently visited BAT so you get more understanding. Wide naira margins leaves foreign investors confused on how to get back their dollars since it's hard to get dollars back at the CBN rate.

b) The benefits accrued to Nigerians is that with more foreign investments there would be availability of dollars than ever. With availability of dollars, exchange rates become stable. You are then allowed to use your naira card again. If there's no arbitrage, then it means no round tripping for just a few, exporters make money, etc.

4) No one knows yet if it's removal or reduction until we import new products without subsidy. NMPDRA has given 6 licenses at the moment for new importers. When they import and sell to the market at this new exchange rate, then it would be clear. Because we can always compare to international prices.

b) Benefit is that Nigeria may not go broke or become a Sri Lanka anytime soon due to borrowing for what she can't subsidize. If Nigeria doesn't go bankrupt, common man still has hope.

5. Mele Kyari has explained it all 2 weeks ago. Go and do your research.

6. I don't know. You tell me.

Subsequent Presidents have followed this precedent. Presidents have differed in their opinions as to the utility of appointees or members of the Executive

You ehn.

Let me simplify it, you think of a clique in your Secondary school right now ,that clearly has one prominent leader. This main leader selects who gets to be part of the clique amongst others. However, once in the clique, the members may have their own opinions and voice them, but it is entirely up to the leader's discretion on whether or not they use their advice. Appointees are similar in that way, where the prominent leader is the President and the appointees members are the clique members.

The appointees serves at the pleasure of the President, meaning that the President can fire them whenever he wants after a President comes into office.

2. what is the most important thing? if you believe that the CBN acted on tinubus instruction to float the naira, then it contradicts your claim of independence which means that Emefiele didnt need to be sacked before the naira could be floated. when you said you "believe", did you have proof before you believed?

3. you arent talking about both. how is it hard for the foreign investors to get back their dollars at CBN rate? are the foreign investors looking to get back their dollars here in nigeria? is it here that they want to use their dollars?

(b) is there no availability of dollars are people not getting dollars to use at the moment or before the floating of the naira? how much is a dollar now?

4. How can you say "no one knows if it's removal or reduction"?

(c) did the government say that "no one knows if it's removal or reduction until we import new products without subsidy"?

It's logical to conclude Emiefele had to be suspended first given how fast the managed floating happened after his suspension.

1. Go and read the CBN act, then come back.

2. Read my previous answer again. You are going in circles. CBN is supposed to be independent but there are loopholes in the CBN act that gives room for such restrictive independence in Nigeria we see today.
I don't have proof BAT told the CBN to do so but it's common sense to believe so or at least to believe they did what he wants.

3. You are going in circles. Learn more about Forex and why multiple exchange rates far apart is not good for foreign investments. I can't teach you everything. Also learn about how the previous system encouraged arbitrage in addition to lesser foreign investments. Check the stock markets as well, and the reduction of foreign investments there since 2021. Compare data and come back to ask me questions. I'll be willing to help.

b) Repitition
c) Government don't have to say everything.
d) Needless Repitition
d) We the common people. You and I.
e) NNPC have not been remitting since June 2022 and remitted below standard for a long time now. So maybe Buhari wouldn't have borrowed so much. So indirectly yes.

5) First read up on what Mele said first. I am not Mele. I believe it because it corroborates what Finance Minister also said in January. I don't know who they borrowed from. It's like asking who is Buhari borrowing from or who does Dangote borrow from, etc.

MeineMutter:
Security is more strategic than subsidy removal. We need to keep insurgency under checks so that farmers can return to farms quickly to ease food prices and lessen the effect of subsidy removal. Upon all trillions of Naira thrown at them by Bubu, they achieved less than 2% of set target security objectives.

^^^
I didn't touch on security but since you've mentioned it...

The whole country is waiting to see what this administration will do to actually to fix the security problem. In your own words, the last administration's security performance was abysmal. Which of course raises the question of why Nigerians voted the same party back into power - even with this glaring incompetence?

But enough of that. We will see over the short to medium term whether this administration has the answers (security wise) or not.

MeineMutter:
Trust me: it’s too early. The subsidy he removed is more of administrative task than security issues. It’s not included in the budget already approved by last administration. There’s nowhere Tinubu will get money to fund subsidy beyond June.

^^^
I'm not sure what you mean by 'administrative task'...

Let's even take the removal of 'fuel subsidy' as inevitable. It has been done. A reversal is all but impossible right now.

What I can assure you is that you will not get the same single minded, laser like focus in killing the waste and rot in Nigeria's public sector. It is not a matter of it being 'too early'. The will simply isn't there - because there is an alignment of interests between this administration and crooked public sector employees.

Mark my words.

Trust me, and in fairness to them, it’s too early. I am not defending them.

We need to give them some months to see how they would start.

For the admin task, I mean it’s a routine. Subsidy office already has processes in place and accounting entries they pass. Once subsidy is removed, they stop all processes hay have to do with subsidy administration. But for security, it’s dynamic.

MeineMutter:


Let’s still give him time. He is barely a month on the throne. He has to study the report, consult and listen to advices before he could go ahead. Don’t forget he wasn’t the president when the report was submitted.

Even GEJ and Obasanjo that had a combination of 14 years to implement various conference reports didn’t do so and nobody nailed them.

So, let’s wait. It’s still too early because some of the reports could have been outdated and need fine-tuning.

I mentioned 40 vehicle convoys in the post you quoted on this thread. I was surprised by how prescient that comment turned out to be - barely 2 weeks later, the man was in the news for (by some accounts) a 120 vehicle convoy - after landing in Lagos for Sallah.

The dispute by supporters and critics over how many of the vehicles were for the presidential motorcade is irrelevant. That convoy had governors, the NSA, ministers, party big wigs etc. The point is that the vehicle costs, security and admin personnel costs, fuel costs, maintenance & logistics costs etc. will still come from the public purse. This is one of the key reasons why Nigeria is poor.

Some wise person said you can't give what you don't have. Nigeria's current president is no different from his predecessors - he simply lacks the personal depth of character to lead by example in these difficult times. He is a true believer in the "rules for thee but not for me" school. While he continues to dismantle social safety nets for the most vulnerable, not a kobo (and I mean not one kobo) will be shaved off the perks that Nigeria's public sector Brahmins consider to be theirs by right.

Business as usual.

Honestly, I have not watched the video for up to 20 seconds but I guess what you saw was just a one-off thing. Those entourage you saw were not from presidential fleet. They were full of South-west political class’ vehicles and those of lobbyists and well wishers.

Let’s leave sentiment out of it, how long do you think a 120-convoy would be each time a president is going? That was to tell you that what you saw on that clip was like an home-coming welcome party for their ‘son’ and to ‘pepper’ APC’s perceived enemies - both at regional and national levels.

I repeat it, all those vehicles were not from presidential fleet. Most of them are from Southwest governors, senators etc.
south-west has 9 states, when Kwara and Kogi are included.

One check we way carry out is to watch, closely, plate numbers of those vehicles. They do not carry presidency’s plate numbers.
You can check out some of them on https://askniid.org/verifypolicy.aspx , to know know more about the vehicle’s insurance policy.

Who knows; Tinubu’s loyalists may want to break Obasanjo’s records or break his backbone by arranging such convoy to spike him because I heard Tinubu was in Egba land but he didn’t visit OBJ.

I still maintain my stand: let’s watch Tinubu more closely. It is too early. It takes up to a year and a half before you can start assessing or comparing a president’s performances.

He just inherited a very large office and complex country. He would first of all use what he meets on ground before fine-tuning things.
