Apart from fighting bureau d change operators, the govt has done nothing significant to improve the naira, we still use the little dollar we earn to import fuel, generators, pay foreign debts, pay foreign medical bills of top govt officials and foreign companies are leaving en masse, all our sources of foreign exchange are getting smaller by the minute

The government has done something joor.

We borrowed billions of dollars from Afreximbank at almost 12% to defend the Naira.
Is that not enough

Omooba77:
The Federal Government on Friday received a $2.25b foreign exchange support facility from the African Import-Export Bank.

The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, confirmed this to Arise TV, said it is the first tranche of the $3.3bn facility from the bank. He noted that the loan was aimed at resolving the acute FX shortage that has hampered the economy.

According to the report monitored by our correspondent, the balance of $1.05bn will be received in the first week of January.

Afreximbank supports Parallex Bank with trade-financing facility
Edun stated that work has commenced for solutions to Nigeria’s economic challenges.

In August, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited announced that it had secured a $3bn emergency loan from the Afrexim Bank to stabilise the country’s volatile foreign exchange market.

Oh great, another video of Atiku's convoy getting away with stolen goods, what a shocker.

Is it your own personal looter who you see as leader that is not getting away with stolen goods in a convoy?

Praxis758:
Naija politicians don’t quarrel over ideological or visionary difference, but on ‘who’ get ‘what’

Fueling that convoy for a month is enough to build, furnish and equip a mini world class primary school.

How many primary schools have you made your own LGA chairmen build, furnish and equip in the last 25 years of democracy?

Or you have only allowed them cruise around in long convoys ni

Philipponzaghi:
Oh wow, how impressive! I'm sure those flashy cars were all paid for with honest, hardearned money.

Unlike the ones paid for by ThiefNuibu’s bullion vans money that should have employed workers in Lagos to achieve more than Jakande did in just four years without widening the tax burden of the masses

Realdeals:
1. The first governor to present a billion Naira state budget in Nigeria.

2. He phased out the shift system in Lagos schools in three months. He built functional classrooms to absorb those who only attend schools for three hours a day.

3. He opened up what is now known as the Lekki Corridor.

4. He built the biggest Housing estate by a state government at Abesan, along with five other estates.

5. He built LASU, LACOED, LASPOTECH and Technical schools to absorb the products of the free education policy.

6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.

7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.

8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.

9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.

The silliest banter is that of death. As if anyone of us is immortal

What is her political ideology please

Quest7777:
This country is heading for doom.

The fundamental problem is that Ethnic, Religious and other Sectional interests are placed ahead of National interests.

Imagine Tinubu creating Ministry of Cow Development.

Will we learn from the South Africans not to be tribesmen sufferhead Stockholm syndrome patients? Or will we continue to rationalise our suffering in the hands of our kinsmen?
What shall we do to ThiefNuibu who is ruining our country as he has been doing in Lagos since 1999- widen the tax net, increase IGR, take loans and steal instead of employing workers to do everything state and LGAs are meant to do.

Nemere2020:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

Variance234:
This is serious

More serious or less serious than when the same Sam cursed, abused and violated Awo's sacred name some years back

Babasessy:
The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.

The ministry is to curb the useless killings and to put the headers in check...

The people who are supposed to be happy are the farmers.....

You miss the point.
ThiefNuibu is simply continuing his asslicking of Fulani herdsmen to keep his job that allows him loot us silly in Abuja as he has done in Lagos for 25 years plus.
Got it now

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

— Adeyinka Grandson (@deyinkagrandson) July 14, 2019

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Tinubu sets the bar for effective leadership, unlike PDP's history of looting and incompetence.

If PDP was really looting, how much was petrol, jhow much was gari,, how much was beans or rice, or even agbado?
What was the minimum wage in 2015?

Even ThiefNuibu's economy minister knows that PDP era was better by far than when Abacha's PTF associate took over after being packaged by JagaBandit as our messiah.

Yorubas are so advanced, we can now use AI to translate our laws while others struggle to keep up. Omo Yoruba, no one can stop us!

Yeah, no one can stop us from making looters our leaders.
Looters who steal our IGR, revenue allocation, loans etc instead of employing workers to provide basic common services like free education, water & sanitation, mass transit etc.

Do you know if the oyinbo countries that developed AI have children out of school or mostly in unmonitored private schools?
Do you know what ThiefNuibu and his minion successors have done with the money of Lagosians since they failed to do a tiny fraction of what Jakande did in only four years with shinkinin money

Your a fool and an irredeemable dullard. Big one for that matter and a total waste of time. Still, others can learn where your brain capacity and fondness of senseless mischief means you're virtually brain dead.

Do you even know what Tax-to-GDP analysis is and why it is one of the indicators damming Nigeria a poor nation while you morons continue to blame Tinubu for everything? Olodo rabata.

For Nairalanders interested in knowledge as a tool to personal development and efficacy, what is shown below are snippets. Ready full article which is lengthy but very informative per rhe challenges of Nigeria and why many are misguided thinking in the ignorant and simplistic way they do.

Balablu incoherent babbling of a liar whose intelligent-sounding gibberish has been exposed for its emptiness.

Where is the list of our African peers who have ALWAYS had very high per capita income compared to us?

Do you have the list or you don't have it

Elsueno:
Minimum wage 30k

People do not have disposable income to go chop for restaurant anymore.

Even buka/mama put eatery customers have drop significantly!! Talk less of these kind of restaurants.

Bros forget the gizmo numbers from NBS & the likes, THINGS ARE VERY VERY BAD.....I think we are fast leaving inflation to depression.....

Is this what they call stagflation? Or even worse?

Is there anything that APC has not destroyed since ThiefNuibu alone made Buhari president nine years ago

WizardOfNG:
Olodo. Am I your teacher? I know you want to be unfortunate, as you have always been on this forum without changing for the better after years, but I will help you out so other olodos don't buy into your deception and capacity for childish obduracy.

As you prefer not to read or do research, see for yourself below.

When political and administrative leaders of Nigeria keep reiterating the fact that Nigeria is no longer a wealthy Country, perhaps so that Nigerians can tighten their belt while badly needed reforms gain traction to put us on the path of genuine and enduring prosperity, it is hateful and bitter olodos like you who will claim or want to believe they are speaking French because of your innate and bellicose hatred of the ruling/wealthy class. To educate yourself, as next option, you refuse.

You're nothing but a pessimistic, frustrated, success-hating and bitter loser who is clearly envious of the well-to-do and blames them for all his woes in his life.

You have always reeked of such for the years you have posted here.

How soon will ThiefNuibu allow the deportation of their Oga ọlọpa tailor Kyari to join them in prison?

Abi his sacred cow treatment is part of the APC Fulanisation agenda, started by Buhari that is continuing with his Emilokan turn by turn successor ni

Is this why ThiefNuibu has created a ministry for cows and herdsmen?

WizardOfNG:
Only clowns and illiterate you will tell repeated lies to for them to then accept such as truth.

Anyone knows there is nothing, even a bag of 200 or so Maggis, retailers don't divide into smaller and consequently more affordable quantities for Nigerians who have always had very low per capita income even in comparison to our African peers.

All you wannabe Ronaldo's and Messiah end up doing is dribbling yourselves with your brainless lies. We know you are desperate but at least lie believably, imaginatively and logically.

Your "Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubrin" type fake news won't do against Tinubu as you all gaslit Buhari with constantly.

If you are not the wizard of clowns, then why don’t you just give the details of our African peers who have ALWAYS had very high per capita income compared to us

WizardOfNG:
Be doing yourself, turning your brain into a worthless organ, thinking you are damaging Tinubu. Specific farms and wholesalers sell big bags of unbranded Spaghetti that etailers and hawkers then sell in small bag as obtains for Rice, Beans, Garri, flour etal.

Nothing Nigerians don't divide up to sell. It is the consequences of a big population with a relatively small per capita income. A reality that precedes the birth of.mosy of you dullards.

Besides, does the packed bags in the wheelbarrow not.look even bigger than small bags of branded supermarket Spaghetti? Olodo generation.

You and your fellow extremists should keep looking daily and 24/7 for every asinine and dumb lie you feel you can hurt Tinubu with.

You are all simply making yourselves worse illiterates that you already are

You are the wizard of asinine and dumb illiterate defenders of BS.

Nine years of APC failure that ThiefNuibu packaged as change could not grow our per capita income and reduce our population by getting everyone to work, but made things worse.

Remman:
Lol... Do you think bankers are allowed to go against their policy and expose an individual's privacy like the apps you borrow money from do? Or have you ever in your life seen a bank coming to tell people what a particular individual receives as salaries in their account with them? Dude! How old are you?

You think the politicians like presidents, governors, NASS members use the same bank with you or that they visit the same bank that you bank with when they want to withdraw or make transfers for any project or what? I won't be the one to educate you on this. Sorry!

Why are you making excuses for our failures?

If Swiss, British, American and other oyinbo bankers don’t cooperate for public interest, how will Abacha’s loot be returned to us

Benwallt:
PitObi Pandora fraudster has nothing to offer. He couldn't even use his own administration as governor to compare.

The man is suffering from terrible family crisis. Wife, daughter and son have all abandoned him for X and obidients sect.

Obi is empty

As empty as barrels that make a lot of notice me noise

Chimarto:
Without Obi, Reno is entirely irrelevant in this generation. OBI keep posting so that this guy can have something to talk about.

Won't $10,000 make a big difference in your extreme poverty life of APC administration started by Buhari and continued by Buhari?
Go and verify to prove Reno wrong so you can earn some good money, will you

Waste of resources

Is the governor himself not a wasted resource and waste of space

Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru gives state money to God.

I'd complain, but if that's what Ebonyians voted for, we don't care what buda thinks.

Voted and/or allowed, same of same.
Ebonyi people prefer that over having the governor employ and pay them well to provide common services like free basic healthcare, free basic education, water in households, good feeder roads that have the gutters and roadside bushes cleared regularly etc.
Olodo leaders of olodo people, is a situation of odo gbe odo ru that is not 8.

You have no idea what lazy means in reference to food and farming.

If you work hard in factories, you will buy your food from farmers and ranchers with plenty of change left to be their donor and dominator.

ogododo:
https://punchng.com/nigerians-must-return-to-farming-to-fight-food-scarcity/

Happy new year to all gOOd Muslims.

But this is not FG's holiday.

I think Aregbesola also used to declare Isese festival holidays in Osun for traditional religion.

It is in matters like this and IGR that governors exercise and show that we are in a federation. But when it comes to employing workers to deliver common services and facilities plus utilities, they will pretend as if it is only the FG that is responsible.
