Nothing will ever get better, same was said for 8 years Buhari's tenures so don't sugar coat things, anything that goes up in Nigeria never comes down.

The same person whom we were told did miracles in Lagos compared to other governors of his time.

We were asked to go and visit Lagos and see the wonders he performed.


I told them, this man asked Buhari to print more currencies and employ 50 thousand youths into the Nigerian army and feed them with agbado and pay them nothing.


They said he graduated with first class in accounting. Now, he floated the naira and give it a free way access....


Food stuffs are now 500times expensive more than what ordinary Nigerians would afford.

Just like movie called outbreak was rehearsal for covid.

They are deliberately shutting down the whole world, its nothing to do with economics.
They are deliberately causing inflation by raising interest rates globally and creating scarcity in order to depopulate the planet.

Even entire cities are shutting down in USA, not just sea port in Nigeria, san Francisco is becoming a ghost town.
If you did not get the message, normal life is over on planet earth, SO help us God in the hands of the devil masters of earth.

Just dont be trying to settle down to have family if you not a billionaire, people will flee from you like they run from fire.

All legitimate human rights are now null and void , the only right the human being now has on earth is to just die.

bill gates and their friends are not planning for the situation to improve until only they are left alive on earth.

Trust me, I very well know this. I have never even been an advocate for elaborate burials and have always maintained that I'll rather be cremated upon my death than have my loved ones waste resources on some unnecessary burial ceremony.

Didn't know nairaland still had people with this measure of intelligence.

Last time I made a similar inference on a subject related to the basis of this thread, a few persons labeled me a twisted conspiracy theorist.

Diseases, pestilences, wars, inflationary indices, negative economies, are all creations of a select few who are keen on devising means of cutting down world population. It's the reason why first world countries deliberately foist bad leaders on third world countries. Any country that is lucky enough to have a leader that will want to work towards self-sufficiency is antagonised and the said leader assassinated. Gaddafi of Libya, Yaradua of Nigeria, etc.

Nations are deliberately impoverished so the populations without the means can simply die off. HIV/AIDS was not potent enough to kill Africans, so they kept experimenting. Ebola was created and brought to our shores, we all know the story. Covid ended up killing them more than the intended targets, Africans. So they hurriedly found a cure. Most wild fires in the US and Canada are not natural disasters, and some very objective minds know this.

So far, the most potent tool of population reduction amongst the black race has been hunger and they keep using it. And instead of us finding ways to work together and beat the odds, we're busy fighting ourselves with religion and tribal sentiments, same ideologies they have planted in us to push for chaos.

Stop giving people false hopes.

Nothing good will come out of those 2 hastily made policies, even in a million years to come.

You think building an economy is just about removing subsidy and floating a naira that needed 'caging', and then going to sleep/ jumping from one country to another?

What has been put on ground since then to give you the impression that those who implemented those useless policies know what they're doing??

On what is your hope of "Nigeria's dawn" built on??

Cars have become so expensive. I bought a car and everything spent in that car from America to Nigeria was like 6.5. Someone has priced that car for 10.8. Still didn't sell.

Why??

Because a profit of 4.3m in a single business is not enough for you?

If that's the case, can you tell us how you're different from the greedy and corrupt Nigerian politicians we complain about/curse here every day??

Efewestern:


I'm one of those who still believe it makes zero sense to take loan from China and build railways. That's not our priority at the moment. We need to get things working. As it is, nothing works.

The pressure on the naira is just too much. Fuel importation alone drains more than half of what we earn selling raw crude. We can tap into the oil industry and flood the African markets with our products. Ghana shouldn't be importing fuel from India when there's Nigeria.

The naira will continue to fall until we take the pain and sort out and can be sorted out locally. For now, we can only hope Dangote stays true to his promise of getting that refinery working, that's the only way we can stabilise the naira a little bit.
But have we asked ourselves how come all these structural problems came to the fore under APC? Nigeria has been importing fuel since the 90s yet all these talk of dollar scarcity, naira chasing few dollars etc never came up until APC happened in the national scene
There must be something inherently wrong with how APC runs it's govt that weakens the structure of the nation in their hands

BoldBrainz:


Floating of the naira and slashing of import duties are two parallel lines that never converge on any basis. The latter can be done even in the face of the former.

The problem with the floating of naira policy was that it was hastily done. Leaving your currency base to be determined by the forces of market demand and supply should be an initiative to be contemplated only when you have enough local production to give strength to the currency and discourage imports.

Imagine having local production and manufacturing capacity like Russia, then giving your currency the audacity to show off in the open markets and raising import duties to discourage imports and encourage local patronage. That right there, is the foundation of an economy that can show off in the face of global challenges.

You don't get what the other guy was saying? He sees cutting imports duty as a panacea to rising import costs. Import costs rose due to fall of naira.
If you imported a car for 3m and paid 35% import duty, that's about 1.3 but when naira falls by over 200%, the same car comes in for about 6.5m and the same 35% is now around 3m which was the cost of the car previously.
That's why I'm asking the point of floating the naira if you're still going to reduce import cost.
It's same mistake with subsidy removal cum deregulation and floating naira. It's like hitting the and spot with two different hammers. Tinubu's govt expected the black market and official rates to converge to 700 or below after floating, meanwhile they asked fuel importers to go source for dollars at black market to import fuel. If you know you're going to ask marketers to look for dollars (which in effect means you're not willing to fund their dollar demands like you do with NNPCL) why ask them to go import fuel?
Those logic hurts the economy worse than the forex restrictions in place during the time of Buhari
