The elections were rigged! That was why IREV was shutdown to prevent electronic transmission and force manual collation overnight where results are usually changed
Prove in court that results were changed not beer parlor talks without proof.

Buhari didn't come with IREV, read what we are talking about.

"May Nigeria happen to you" seems to hold a lot of weight to f00Is like u, I am a proud Nîgeriàn, when u say "may Nigèria happen to you" it's an empty statement.

I crîtîcîzed Buhari's decision, that's what governance is all about.
I still crîtîcîze Tinubu's decisions even on this platform.

and who told you everyone sources FX from Cbn. How are importers of spare parts, electronics or even frozen food doing it 😒
You said manufacturing is dead in Nigeria,that everyone in the sector is leaving.
That's why I asked you who the CBN is trying to clear their backlog of FX demand?
I have no business with traders importing with medium scale capital as it's an almost insignificant segment of that market,even though their costings rapidly affect shelf prices of some items,but overall insignificant.

What about our Naira cards that is banned from being used to make international transactions, are we not forced to put pressure on the parallel market for every international transaction that would have been done at I&E rate?

Double edged, confused government.

The restriction aimed at reducing foreign exchange demand for products that could be locally produced, improve employment generation and conserve foreign reserves.

Your last paragraph op, negates this. Eg, Local rice goes for around 50k per bag now. Imported rice will hardly cross 35k/bag. How will the local rice factory generate employment, if not to pack up?

This importation increase will make all competing local production to just die. We lack the comparative advantage with imported goods. Just forget about production because the producers won't break even. Unemployment will increase.

The only gain in this, is that, the prices of foodstuffs will come down within the reach of the common man. As for increased foreign reserve, employment generation, na Big lie. It won't work. Local production is gone the drain

If today, Nigeria chooses to place zero percent import duty on all product and services, manufacturers capacity utilization will increase rather than decrease. 52% of the inputs manufacturers use in the first place are imported. When the government implemented forex restrictions to those products, many companies left the country or packed up.

Zero percent import duty on textile fabrics will produce lots of jobs. The demand for fabrics is a derived demand. You can't just wear the fabrics. It has to be sown into garments. The tailoring shops will enjoy a boon. The same with steel. The same with milk.

If local manufacturers die out, bye bye. It is creative destruction at work. With low import duties, companies will focus on what the country has comparative advantage in. If you have no comparative advantage in it, you won't be able to compete and eventually collapse.

Somehow a Nigerian thinks governance is about party, the party doesn't decide what happens, the individual called the president does.
INEC didn't force them on Nigerians, they won election that ur candidate lost.
Nîgeriàns made their choice and their choice is not your candidate.
Big Lie,infact that They won the election is a big fallacy from the pit of he'll.

Isn't now that Nigeria is broke the best time to split the country, so everyone can go and continue from where they left off in 1966? This unitary system is the worst thing, states are all looking up to Abuja when they should be in competitions in developing their resources.

What will be your reaction be when president Tinubu convenes a conference on regional autonomy?

Believe the rubbish above at your peril. What business does the cbn have with the parallel market? The parallel market exists simply as a result of the failure of the CBN to make dollars available so people have to source for dollars elsewhere. The simple truth is that Nigeria is not earning enough dollars. The profligacy and wastefulness of the Jonathan and Buhari government is beginning to catch up with us. You have on the right track

The billions of dollars being stolen from this country has brought Nigeria to its knees. Instead of addressing the thieves, the APC and PDP rather chose to embark on borrowing mindlessly. These loans have to be paid back and serviced in dollars. Presently 96% of Nigerias earnings are channeled into debt servicing. Which useless and stupid CBN governor has been in charge for the past 12 years? That fool Emiefele.

There is nothing the CBN can do now. The present CBN governor is very senseless with this poorly thought out policy. There are better ways to seek harmonization of both the parallel and official market. In the first place, it is even wrong that selling of currency is even a business. That is a very fundamental failure for any Central Bank.
If the CBN can't guarantee availability of dollars in the official market then this policy is as useless as it comes. The parallel market only responds to the official market. The dollar didn't cross 1000 naira until Tinubu came up with a supposed harmonization policy. We all see what a disaster that has become.

BUHARI WAS AN ILLITERATE WITH HIS IMPORT RESTRICTION POLICIES. HE KILLED NIGERIA.

Every economy has things it produces cheaper than other countries. So it is advisable to dwell on what you can cheaply produce and import what another country can produce cheaper. Import restriction policies are failed policies. Nigeria will never be able to produce rice cheaper than India and Thailand can. Restricting imports only forces the prices of inadequate local supply to rise. Just as we have seen local rice do. Multiply this scenario across a number of other sectors and then you understand what damage Buhari really did.

The ban on poultry importation pushed so many people into poultry business. This created a huge demand for poultry feed that the feed making companies in Nigeria still can't meet with. The result, high price of feeds, which leads to high price of birds and eggs at the point of sale. The present price of a crate of eggs is twice what it was at the end of Jonathans tenure.

Nigeria has too many built-in economic efficiencies. We do not have the knowledge base for tertiary industries and secondary even. We can't drive a 21st century economy primarily on subsistence industry. Government can't keep paying lip service to science and technology and expect things should change. It is far easier to steal and which is what our political class have done and keep doing. I have nothing but utter contempt for them.

Nigerians should ask the government the following questions:

1. What happened to all the dollars that come into the country via crude oil sales? How does CBN handle it for the government?

2. When the formost economist Mr Boyo was alive, he spoke about how activities in the parallel market gets very active during FAAC allocation. These spike in the parallel market activities were usually driven by wholesale demand for dollar by politicians. The question is, what do politicians do with the dollars if not to store in Septic tanks or send it to offshore account.There should be a complete ban on BDC operations.

Nigerians should be asking these lines of questions.

And you are certain you werent part of those who believed jonathan didnt do a single project,dasuki chop arms money,who believed buhari when he said there is nothing like subsidy,are you certain you werent part of those who voted out jonathan...
80% of what buhari commissioned are Jonathan's projects e.g railways, tsa, bvn, fertiliser revolution, npower e.t.c in fact 90% of the arms still used by military today were bought by jonathan. Until nigerians begin to educate themselves on political shenanigans they will keep on voting in the wrong people...

Bdc's are owned by the elites esp the northern oligarchs reason why its been hard to cancel them, emefiele worked for them reason why dollars was scarce throughout buhari's tenure and since emefiele worked for buhari your guess is as good as mine who stood to benefit from all buhari's forex policies.. why do you think emefiele and buhari banned crypto? The majority of citizens the bdc's depend on to trade in dollars have adopted crypto, bdc's were becoming obsolete and also dangerous to the citizens cos of the insecurity and police wahala involved..i personally hvent been to bdc in 8years unlike previously...
