Dollar problem bringing our nation to it's knees. We must remove dollar monopoly from our imports system, and sell our crude and gas in naira, this will strengthen naira.
Good point from you, but the government you're even trying to suggest this to are not interested in ditching dollar for naira. They'll tell you oil trade in international trade that's why they won't change to naira.
This is what port authorities just did. They're only accepting dollars here in Nigeria.

As a sovereign nation, we can make policies for the good of the nation and it's people. Nigerian government must be sincere, put aside selfish sentiments and interests and make moves to strengthen naira.

It's all about laws of demand and supply and balance of trade, when it comes to forex markets and international trade. The more people and nations demand your currency, the higher it's value goes, and the more you export the more your balance of trade gets positive, all these leads to high value of the currency. We pay our political office holders way too much to go to office to pursue selfish interests, and to please America. We are a sovereign nation we are not slaves of America and dollar. South Africa quietly moved to BRICS...when last did you hear of them complaining of currency crises. The people need to protest, and demand government work for us...marches and protests by the people, this inefficiency of the government should not be tolerated, they are well paid and taken care of, the least they can do is work for the people...and they are not working till our currency value strengthens, so we see value in cash we spend.

Yep, another evidence there is a subsidy.

APC once again caught in lying.

This is how we enter more debt.

So the foreign countries that will buy crude oil from Nigeria will collect naira? And when importing back into the country from foreign countries that have refined your crude oil sold to them, will collect Naira from you again?

Tell them to expose those behind subsidy scam, also tell them to freeze dollars stashed in the various bank accounts which I doubt they'd do because it would be as good as shooting themselves in the leg. They're the ones who own most of the dollars. My friend who went and joined us army as a nurse was busy saving his money in an account with his wife. One day they blocked the money and asked why were they saving so much and untouched, asking them to come and explain. There's over 30bn USD in the various bank accounts owned by the majority of these politicians and bank directors who are their SPVs. They're our main problem. I hope the masses would be bold enough to confront them someday

Lastly, tell them to stop corruption and reduce cost of governance by a large percentage in reflection of the current economic woes. How can law makers be asking executives to release grains to the population as if that grains flow like water which can't finish? What happens once grains are exhausted from their buffer?

I was expecting them to say they'd reduce their allowances and give to the executive to import food items in a short term but none of them ever said this during their plenaries.
so sm1 can't save.dats d problem.. Dey dont want ppo out of poverty.

Why go on strike over costs of business?!!

Add the cost to your charges, so the retailers/marketers can push up their own pump prices.

Isn't that what all these are about?!! Increasing the price of petroleum products!

Abi, una dey expect special Subsidy?!!! SMH.



Nigerians should brace up... #1200 per Liter for Petrol is almost upon us. cool

Normally dats d case, but d issue is, d average Nigerian cannot afford that, unlike food, fuel isn't a necessity...even d food sef, people are abandoning expensive stuff & going for d cheapest they can get at barely enough amount to satisfy hunger!....

People just don't seem to grasp how bad things 4 us, U see, African countries have high poverty, true....BUT FOOD IS EXTREMELY CHEAP & AVAILABLE

In Nigeria on d otherhand, d food isn't even readily available due to insecurity, whats left is also very expensive due to how rapidly d naira is falling into oblivion

[quote author=Iceman2017 post=128478633]Peter Obi must learn this lesson we are teaching him in a hard way.

Please oo, it's been long I left Nairaland. I want to know how these staunch supporters of APC are doing.
