There is no money in the foreign reserve to give fake strength to naira against dollar anymore
This is the first time that we are seeing the actual value of naira against dollar
The actual value of our currency is N300/$1, which is the short term goal of the Chicago bookkeeper who has been running aimlessly for two years.
If he is not a cluelessly corrupt rogue, then what did he do with the billions of dollars Afreximbank loan to defend the Naira? What did he do to the subsidy savings and the reduced import costs?
anonimi: World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate
April 23, 2023
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.
How exactly have they wised up if they are not fighting for more people to be employed in the civil service to provide basic services and utilities? Civil servants who are well paid compared to political office holders, vis-a-vis the added value to the society, by each category of workers.
Animaxwell: Nigeria is so poor in construction that there is no niche we're good at. Imagine traveling to China for ordinary water project.
Who told you he went there for any water project? Does it mean he failed to provide water in PH and other Rivers state towns from 2015 to 2023? Abi is the FCT bigger than Rivers state ni? Did we not have water in our cities and towns several years ago without going to China to see what they are doing?
Why don't you ask yourself what Wike is doing with the higher IGR and allocation for the FCT?
ijustdey: President Bola Tinubu has pulled the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, out of the Treasury Single Account, TSA, effectively paving way for the Nyesom Wike-led FCTA to utilize the territory’s Internally Generated Revenue IGR for the development of the nation’s capital.
At a news conference Friday in Abuja, Wike also disclosed that the President has approved the creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission to allow for staff career progression.

anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.

anonimi: 2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
Atiku talking about unemployment. i 2007th GDP per ca80.pita rising from Atiku should know that, if not for his incompetency, His achievements would have been campaigning for him.
8 years as a vice and all he grew was his bank account.
He grew the economy with GDP per capita rising from a low of $480.67 in 1999 to $1,815.13 by the time they left office in 2007 that is almost four time increase or 377%.
This is the strength of Atiku's consistent deregulation and privatisation capitalist worldview, which is what Argentina's Milei has used to turn around the crisis-ridden Argentinian economy in a short while. Left to Obasanjo, he would have continued his clueless economic focus on agriculture and government ownership of businesses as he did in his years as a military dictator. Obasanjo's disregard for the economy is manifest also in his endorsement of Buhari 10 years ago despite knowing that the old soldier was an olodo in economic management. Baba Iyabo, the alaimore did that after tearing the card of the party that made him president from Abacha's prison, thanks to Atiku's help and funding in 1998/1999.
citizenisb: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.
“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.
The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.
While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.
“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

michoim: Rigged from 30TH Position to 4th position: What a fake government in APC
The useless Reno was labouring in vain to hide the truth about Argentinian president doing much better with his capitalist policies than the olodo progreThief scamdemic socialist in Aso Rock. Atiku had advised the Chicago bookkeeper to take a cue from Milei but he refused.
AllTheWayUp: President Javier Milei of Argentina was sworn into office on 10 December 2023. He inherited a worse condition than Nigeria's.
But what he did to return his country to a place where investors are ‘starting to believe’ should serve as a lesson to Nigeria’s Bola Tinubu.
I read a recent report in the Reuters titled: Argentina’s market double down on Milei as investors ‘start to believe’. I took a keen interest in reading the report because I know quite well that Argentina and Nigeria closed the last quarter of the year 2023 on a similar path of economic downturn.
In the case of Nigeria, a new government was installed at or about the middle of 2023, for Argentina, the new government came on board in December.
Both leaders inherited a disoriented economy, but both applied different measures to recovery.
President Javier Milei of Argentina was sworn into office on 10 December 2023. He inherited a worse condition than Nigeria's.
But what he did to return his country to a place where investors are ‘starting to believe’ should serve as a lesson to Nigeria’s Bola Tinubu.
Nigeria is where we are today simply because of what Tinubu has done or did not do.
His shifting the blame on the opposition and, even ridiculously, his predecessor is needless and myopic. Market forces don’t play politics. They respond to your actions and inactions.
President Milei’s major campaign promise was to re-position the Argentine economy after years of slow growth, high debt levels, triple-digit inflation (160% when he took over the Presidency in December 2023) and 40% poverty rate.
His first task was to begin implementing measures to achieve greater macroeconomic stability and promote higher global competitiveness.
He came into the office with a comprehensive stabilization plan, which seeks to implement far-reaching measures within the context of a market-oriented economy.
He started off cutting government expenditure by cutting the size of government and wastages; blocked stealing of government funds, and attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) through concessions, tax holidays, and improved ease of doing business.
President Milei flies regular business class for all his travels and does not offer the presidential fleet of Argentina for his son’s birthday.
Likewise, there is no settlement for his hangers-on and political allies through unwieldy and burdensome appointments to public offices.
Argentina’s Milei did not build the largest government like Tinubu did at a time when our economy was and still on its knees.
The examples set by President Milei are the requirement of leadership in a time when the economy has begun to fail the expectations of the people.
The reforms so far implemented by the Tinubu administration are ad hoc and hurriedly put together without proper review. Ours is unlike Argentina’s Milei, who is sequencing his reforms.
President Milei anticipates the after-reform shocks and admits that things will be tough for the people. But he is fully prepared for the aftershocks and has in place mitigating pills.
He walks the talk. He makes sacrifices himself by giving up perks of office.
It is not business-as-usual for the presidency while the people are called upon to make sacrifices.
Argentina runs a lean government by reducing the number of ministries, privatizing nearly 40 state-owned enterprises, and reducing wasteful spending.
Conversely, Tinubu in Nigeria increased the number of ministers and ministries and is spending enormous resources renovating houses for himself, his deputy, and the first lady.
That is nothing short of Nero playing fiddle while Rome is on fire!
Worse still, Tinubu has refused to roll up his sleeves and do the work that he signed up for. Instead, he and his team are preoccupied with behaving like Napoleon and Squealer, characters in the satire book Animal Farm, who made it a state policy scapegoating Snowball (the opposition) for their own failures arising from their ill-advised policies. grin grin grin
I am attracted to the reforms in Argentina because Javier Milei's stabilization plan bears a similar emblem with my Recover Nigeria Plan.
It is a plan that I am more than willing to disclose details of its workings with the current government in order to take Nigeria out of the depth of hunger and anger that we find ourselves.
The plan includes strategic steps we must take to recover the economy and make it stronger, dynamic, resilient, and competitive.
We had outlined plans to relax the fiscal constraints facing us to include:
• Improving Spending Efficiency and Blocking Leakages • Saving money through: a. A review of fiscal support for non-performing government enterprises and the privatization of those that can not sustain themselves. b. Steps to improve spending efficiency through a gradual reduction in government recurrent expenditures, ensuring that those expenditures reflect higher levels of service delivery. Over the medium term, recurrent expenditures should not exceed 45% of the budget. c. A review of government procurement processes to ensure high levels of transparency, competitiveness, and value-for-money and eliminate all leakages.
Unless, and until there are clear-cut policies and pathway to economic rejuvenation predicated on a leadership led sacrifice, there will be discontentment, especially among the youths, which may find expression in protests and for which it will be silly to continue to blame the opposition for. -AA

‘How Atiku saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president’‘
A new book has revealed how former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, saved ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president in 1999.
According to the new book, entitled ‘’Too Good to Die: Third Term and the Myth of the Indispensable Man in Africa,’ Atiku made all his resources available for Obasanjo’s presidential campaign.
The book, written by former chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, and Ayisha Osori, author of ‘’Love Does Not Win Elections,” also revealed how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 1999 election.
Quoting an account from Atiku, the authors said the trio of Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma and Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted PDP to adopt Obasanjo as their presidential candidate “because they considered him the best person for the job.”
“Implicit in their position was their belief that they knew how to manipulate Obasanjo and the fact that Obasanjo did their bidding in 1979. They felt secure that he could be managed again,” the authors wrote.
Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.
“When Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General (Aliyu) Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.
“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.
Peacecore: Has Emilokan sold public assets like NITEL NEPA etc? Has he(Emilokan) promised to sell NNPC to his friends and make them rich?
Has Emilokan spent the amount of money Atiku spent to secure presidency? Or have you forgotten it's an investment from which returns are expected? Tell me another thing man!
If he stole from any of the privatisation schemes, why did Obasanjo fail to prosecute and convict him in his second term of 2003 to 2007, instead of telling lies in his book against his multiple times benefactor? In 2003, Atiku rejected pressure to unseat Obasanjo as the candidate of the north. That was the first time that Buhari asked for the job and lulẹ pii.
Why have you failed to contribute your own money, talent, time and other resources into the political and governance processes, so that politicians invest less in the process for their JUST rewards? Who is stopping you?

aduboy: Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers Posted by NAN
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.
Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.
He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.
“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.
“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”
Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.
“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.
“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”
According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.
“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”
I think states should be empowered to deport school age, underaged children and their parents/ guidance begging or doing manual jobs to their states of origin.
What did your state lawmaker, as well as your senator and representative say about this idea when you discussed it with them
Eriokanmi: Remember he's not an APC governor. He doesn't lie
Yeah right.
He’s a communist LP labourer like Pandora Bitter Obi who also does not tell small lies but delivers big lambas.
bennybuhari: “’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.
“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.
“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.
You must be talking about propaganda governor if you can’t share verifiable evidence of the massive recruitment of tens of thousands of teachers and other staff to make it possible for 700,000 pupils to be in free schools.
SmartPolician: Every politician isn't the same. You cannot compare Hope Uzodinma with Alex Otti or Babajide Sanwo-Olu with Dapo Abiodun.
On this matter of free education for all children in schools with adequate professional teachers and other staff, how is any of the four you listed different from one another?
Has any one of them matched Makinde’s record of 20,000 teachers employed in six years, which is still very far from being enough to make basic education free for ALL children?
CelineOlabode: The president Nigerians voted for. Nigeria would have been in upward trajectory if they didn't rig this man out of the presidential election.
