MrPresident1:
When you invest in govt securities, the money is recirculated, importers can import, manufactures can borrow, importers can open and access credits facilities, the economy moves.

With TSA, the money is dormant, losing value, not involved in any productive activity. It is only a matter of time before Nigeria hits recession

Mr Economist, ur theory gave me a migraine.

Though, I read engineering, I realise that govt selling securities is a method of moping up liquidity, how is that now transfered to importers or manufacturers, when d banks refuse to extend credit facilities to them?

Do u realise d cbn recently(this week) had to revise it policy because d banks were refusing, inspite of inducements, to lend to d real sector? The cbn, to counter d effects of tsa, allowed d banks excess liquidity, reduced interest rates yet these same banks continued to sit on those funds n wait for govt securities!

Nigerians are bad debtors with unfavourable investment conditions(power, roads, raw materials, bureaucracy), so d banks prefer govt securities to d real sector.

The cbn guv, ministers(agric n trade), BOI, BOA have all been complaining of banks refusal to lend to agriculture, exports and local production.

MrPresident1:
That 3trn supposedly saved via the TSA that president Buhari is always harping on is the liquidity in our banking system that made the economy fluid flexible and solvent, now that that money has been withdrawn and warehoused in CBN, it is not being used for anything, just warehoused, not adding value, not involved in production or manufacturing or agriculture, or infact in any economic activity, that is why the masses are complaining that everything is tight. Release the money into the economy via the banks and let it flow and circulate like life giving blood, circulating money is the lifeblood of any economy.

When there is economic squeeze in developed economies due to inadequate liquidity, governments step in to create liquidity by injecting credit into the economy through the banks by reducing interest rates, and reducing the minimum cash deposits the banks keep with the CBN etc

TSA is squeezing our economy to death.

Hmmm...

Where was d 3trn when d past administration was borrowing to pay salaries? No oil income, yet this present fg is yet to borrow to pay salaries.

These funds have been with d banks since time immemorial, yet where are d investments in sectors of d economy apart from oil?

No oil income, yet we could amass 3trn within a year! Can u calculate how much has disappeared over d years, due to fake vouchers n non-existent projects?

Without d tsa, those banks were sitting on d funds n prefer to lend it back to govt, buy govt bonds or treasury bills, instead of investing in d economy. The cbn just revised it policy, 'cos d banks where not doing anything with d excess liquidity, prefering to invest in govt securities.

Your decision to identify with the OP's error and possibly fratanise with it is duly noted -

We will no more feel guilty putting both of you together

Since I don't feel guilty lumping u with bigoted wailers, feel free to extend same to me.

Though, respect is difficult. Better to stand alone than to identify with criminals.

Wailer!

Where was this group when d clueless buffoon was encouraging massive looting of our commonwealth?

So much unstinting support for crime n criminals is disgraceful n unbecoming of patriots. GEJ had 5yrs+ to impress, he failed woefully.

Allow PMB his 4yrs, abeg! All past govt av brought in so-called economists n d economy remains at d mercy of crude. What's statistics when d masses are living in poverty? If dey actually improved d economy, what happened to all d jobs dey provided? Why where dey borrowing to pay fg salaries? Where was all their foreign reserves? How were individuals allowed access to cash directly from d cbn? Which renowned economy allow such anomalies? Are u guys for real? Do u really believe all ds trash u sprout?

DrTeeee:
Before you jump into any conclusion, or term me stupid for creating this thread, kindly spare me some minutes and read through. I bet I might as well have done the same if the table were turned and I didn't go through what I just went through this past 2 weeks! So I forgive anyone who types before reading.
Just about 2 weeks ago I became a father In about the most overwhelming and adrenaline-surging experience I ever had in my whole life experience! So much that I shed tears uncontrollably for more than 3minutes and had to hide my face from nurses and others in the hospital waiting room. And I almost vowed not to impregnate my wife again.... (And dat I wud be adopting all my other kids) (no mind me)
It all started on the 27th of febuary. My wife and I went for her routine pregnancy scan. Only for the Doc to call our awarness to a condition known as Aging placenta! He explained in details what the prognosis was and that was it! He recommended she rested more often and concluded dat our baby is fine. We drove home with smiles that our baby was fine and dat all is well. (Note: she was only 34weeks) if only I knew that in less than a week I will be dobing the running and prayings of my life! Being a vet I understood what was up , but didn't want to scare my wife. I read more and silently prayed for the best.
She reported at her antenatal clinic in a reputable catholic hospital in Ibadan on monday and all hell sort of broke loose!
At first she was allowed to return home with strict warning to come back the next day for scan and other examinations and tests. The next day, I was at work when suddenly she called. She was to be admitted! I drove down with jet lee speed, and was told by the doctors that baby must come out! What! But she is just 34weeks plus!
And the waiting began!
Permit me to say at this junction: ALL WOMEN DESERVES TO BE LOVED! I mean mothers and wives. The labour room is an experience no one can imagine! What I saw in 48hours of my stay can only be best imagined. ( Let me confess, I don't want to be there when she delivers next) I saw women in labour cursing their husbands, and worse things.
My wife was induced. The pain was so much for her that she was crying. It was 10pm in d night and still our baby was not out. The contractions kept coming minutes after minutes. At a point we were advised to exercise, that it wud help her cervix to dilate. Naso we start walking up and down the hospital complex o! It was 1am the next day! She was fatigued. I looked into her eyes and knew I put her through this. I could only pray for her and encourage her.
Fast forward to 3am, I returned her to the labour ward and joined other family members and husbands in the waiting room. I tell u that room is another thing entirely! Anxiety, fear, worry, depression can be felt in every corner! I wasn't the only one having a bad night!
A man whose wife had a breech presentation and had to be wheeled in for surgury in the last minut was on his feet with eyes open as if he was on drugs! He was pacing up and down the not so very big room. Others could be seen engaging in prayers with sweaty faces and worried looks. The tough ones sat down in calm, but a good look at them u will see the fear they were trying so hard to hide! Its so clear in their eyes!
All glory be to God, my wife was delivered of a baby girl on the 4th of march. Our baby was preterm,and so was in ICU for over 2weeks. I thank God for his mercies. Both mother and baby are fine.but I think I should actually go check my Bp.
Yes, I completely agree the labour room experience is "out of this world", but I will also like to acknowlege the "fathers to be", friends and families who go through the WAITING ROOM or HOSPItal corridor experience! Them try!
The experience is over, but the memories,fear and anxiety can't be forgotten! This is my WAITING ROOM experience, my testimony! Feel free to share yours.

That's why I find it difficult to disrespect women, though some are confirmed witches!

Missed my second kid's waiting room experience, but d 1st is still with me till kingdom come! Mothers are IT!

[size=13pt]And if $3bn then is definitely worth more than $30bn now, it requires a USD depreciation of about 142%.
In fact, I put you in the same category as the OP.
Finished[/size]

If u had actually read all I wrote, den u would av read me saying d op was factually wrong but a zombie like me can perceive his position.

If u think d wailers were right in jubilating their stance of GEJ's $30b as against Obj's $3b irrespective of GEJ's cluelessness and ineffectiveness during his tenure, then u present urself as unreasonable n illogical.

I'm still laughin...

coolscott:
[size=13pt]When a thing is complex, it is complex. When it is not, it is not. If this is complex for you lot, you ought not be speaking here.
The OP is right only if the USD has depreciated by 1,000% over the period.
His opinion is as stupendously ridiculous as a claim that the USD has experienced a 1,000% depreciation over the period.
Factor in the fact that our naira slides faster than the USD and the full grossness of his error comes to light.
By continuing a search in the dark for some kind of face-saving angle for Mr. poster, you invariably join yourself in on his folly.[/size]

Why face saving? Why half full instead of half empty?

That ur specs are dark tinted doesn't mean mine shouldn't be rose tinted!

Ur thinking I'm joining his folly, I'm thinking u'r unreasonable in d face of reason.

Live n let live, n let posterity judge us all.

coolscott:
Please, There is nothing to try to infer in his message. It was written in English, plain and clear, and he completely misfired with it. It is quoted below. Again, before I saw it, I didn't expect to see this kind of nonsense. Being pro-Buhari or anti-PDP is not a fault. But there is no need to make oneself look like a joke with such a post as the OP's below.
Again look at his post below. There is nothing like GEJ vs PMB. His thoughts and words are spilled out in every letter, indicating that the value of $3.7b at that time will be more than $30b now.
[size=11pt][/size]

"I was shocked at this lack of intelligence from wailers ..." -mashin

That's GEJ vs PMB, if u can't see it. We always see what we want to see!

Pls, life is to complex for anyone to think he sees everything. He might get d numbers wrong, but his theory holds true! Obj's $3.7b might not be worth GEJ's $30b, its definitely worth more than a 1/7th of GEJ's $30b!

Rockefeller is supposedly the richest man in recent history, yet he was worth $11b in 1858! How do u juxtaposition it with a Bill Gates worth $70b in 2016?

TippyTop:
Took them nearly a year to come up with the policy, your guess is as good as mine on how long it would take for them to implement it.

Someone promised 20 point agenda during elections, yet didn't achieve any after four years! Even if its late, let's see if its going to be implemented!

Its never how far, but how well.

coolscott:
[size=13pt]I do not know where you are straying to. Do not derail. The OP claims that 3.7 billion as of that time would be more than $30b now. [/size]

[size=13pt]I mentioned others who have commented on this thread only so that they can witness the melting away of the supporting legs his argument never had
[/size]

The op might not be literally right, but I still have an idea of his message, which is on wailers n GEJ's failed leadership.

So, do u stand with GEJ? I stand with PMB!

coolscott:
[size=13pt]This opinion on this thread is disgraceful nonsense because it makes sense only if the dollar has depreciated by 1,000% between then and now.
It takes a dollar depreciation of 1,000% for $3bn then to be worth $30bn now[/size]

But, to take u on:

1-he stole $150b, but since he left $30b, he is a success?

2-since Naija past govt have been thieves, GEJ govt had evry excuse to be thieves?

What's disgraceful nonsense about calling out wailers who support thieves/criminals in d name of sentiments or ethnicity?

ahaz:
what has your chains, sorry change go to do with this?

Guess will av to try n break it down for ur eminence.

The states are being forced to look inwards, since no excess cash from d center.

The govts are being forced to invest in their states to shore up revenue. Untapped resources(cocoa, groundnuts, solid minerals, oil palm, rubber, cassava etc) will be encouraged, instead of govts absconding to holiday spots after receiving federal allocations.

The leaders without workable dreams would be thrown out by d next dispensation! Even PMB is not immune, let's just pray d senate can make d card readers legal n binding!

The senate is actually probing d budget instead of d usually exchange of ghana-must-go bags for an unscrutinised budget! The senate is actually going out to confirm work done n release reports, instead of d usual cover-up!

Chains are real for d corrupt! If things are being done d right way, how come d groundnut pyramids were allowed to disappear? Cocoa house is a shadow. D railways practically disappeared! Public schools are now a breeding ground for criminals. We were deteriorating instead of improving.

APC, though not perfect, is attempting a reset, and God willing, it'll work!

noblezone:
I am okay my pal.
I wanted the handlers of Nairaland to know that their bans have no effect on me.

I am a rebel with a cause.
They should counter my logics and arguments with superior ones, rather than take route of cowardice by banning free speech.
They are all cowards!

I have called them to public debates, but they never showed up.
Do not be surprised if they delete this thread and ban me for life.

They are pathetic, but we must remain focused and resolute.
The time of fear has gone.

Seriously??!

Such magnificent mind, yet such outlandish tot process?!

Ur Naija dysfunctionalty is not peculiar to Naija. Its happening all over d world! Human life has lost value, what d fulani are not doing, d militants, criminals n kidnappers are doing.

Specifically, concerning d Agatu massacre, d fulanis came out to say d Sultan of Sokoto had been in Benue, 3 separate times to resolve d issue to no avail. D police, d govt n d politicians refused to heed their request on producing d youths who beheaded a prominent fulani on a peace mission.

www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/200426-exclusive-struck-agatu-fulani-herdsmen.html

They took matters into their hands, n d world is screaming genocide?

I don't support their crime, but action/inaction always begets reaction, and d innocents end up with d consequence.

Yet, some still think change is illusive.

To qualify as a wailer, u av to be unreasonable in d face of reason n illogical in d face of logic.

Crazy mofos!

HARDBUOI:
every time i see peter i feel pity for him coz he dnt know wat hez doing
he is under a spell..... many pple dnt know d real story behind this.
becareful on the type of woman u marry.

bitter truth!

Under a spell, because he is trying to be independent? Should it really be d wife gingering him, wats bad in telling/teaching someone to standup for himself?

He has given terms, he doesn't want his manager! Na by force? Tuface change manager, same with nice, whizkid, olamide even d williams sisters sacked dem papa!

I just pray he succeeds at it, dazzol!

mencade5:
the thing surprise me ooo. I was dumbfounded when she made that move. This is about us. Why r u bringing people into our lives for such a minor issue? I told her this

Noticed 3 different commenters giving u my line of tot, yet didn't read u acknowledging dem? So, its either ds stuff is unreal, or u'r tinking their take isn't an option.

Well, wat u see is wat u get. Take it or leave it. U'r still in luv n u can't take it,wat happens wen d luv goes stale? And, trust me, it will go stale. Naija mite av d latest cars or phones, dey don't yet av d latest mindset to visit docs for mental health issues.

Even u won't change ur jealous prob, doe u sound reasonable, n she does too. She mite av been brought up to be dependent on d opinion of others, hence inviting 3rd parties.

So u either go ahead n hope for d best or just continue d trial n error search.

WARNING: Very long post ahead. Is this the beginning of re-emergence of political violence in the epitome of democracy?



By Todd Gitlin March 18
Todd Gitlin is a professor of
journalism and sociology and
chair of the Ph.D. program in
communications at Columbia
University.
On Oct. 24, 1968 , at Manhattan’s Madison
Square Garden, in the very heartland of the
“intellectual morons,” as the third-party
presidential candidate George Wallace was
given to say, Wallace told a cheering
overflow crowd of 20,000 about a protester
who had laid down in front of Lyndon B.
Johnson’s limousine. His take was this:
“When November comes, the first time they
lie down in front of my limousine, it’ll be the
last one they ever lay down in front of.”
Protesters shouted in the arena. “After
November 5, you anarchists are through in
this country,” he told the demonstrators.
“You’d better have your say now.” Outside
the hall, Wallace supporters and
adversaries clashed with each other and
with the police, while inside, officers
rescued a group of black protesters
surrounded by Wallaceites who chanted:
“Kill ’em! Kill ’em!”
Richard Strout, a longtime New Republic
columnist not given to overstatement, heard
the crowd from the balcony and wrote,
“There is menace in the blood shout of the
crowds.” That year, political violence
flourished. In April alone, police bloodied
peaceful antiwar demonstrators in Chicago;
a shootout between cops and Black
Panthers in Oakland, Calif., left one Panther
dead; police beat many students occupying
Columbia University buildings and arrested
more than 700; scores of cities exploded in
riots, including assaults on police and
firefighters, after Martin Luther King Jr.
was assassinated. August brought more
assaults on demonstrators, almost all of
them nonviolent, at the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago. America was a
tinderbox. Wallace knew he was playing
with fire.
Blood shouts are back, and some of them
come from Donald Trump’s stage. In Las
Vegas last month, Trump said of one
protester, “I’d like to punch him in the
face,” waxing nostalgic for an era when
protesters would be “carried out on
stretchers.” “We’re not allowed to push
back anymore,” Trump rued. The day after
an enthusiast threw a sucker punch at a
demonstrator being led out of a Fayetville,
N.C. event, Trump said: “The audience hit
back. That’s what we need a little more of.”
This mood ripples outward from Trump’s
rallies. The billionaire canceled a Chicago
appearance last week amid tussles between
his supporters and demonstrators who had
gathered for the event. In Kansas that day,
a white motorcyclist assaulted a
Bangladeshi student (Wichita State’s
student-body vice president) and his
Hispanic friend, shouting: “Trump will take
our country from you guys!”
Wallace roused his crowds against left-
wingers in the same way Trump turns his
followers’ rage against Muslims and
immigrants. Like Wallace, the game Trump
plays is, “Make my day.” Disruptors in his
audiences are props for his performances,
rallying his supporters more fervently and
defensively around him. The result, as in
1968, is a growing climate of violence. It
feels as if, somewhere, fuses are lit.
The menace of the late 1960s eventually
subsided as Richard M. Nixon harnessed his
“silent majority” to calm the political climate
early in his presidency as the ultra-radicals
burned through whatever base of
sympathy they had started with. But today’s
chaos won’t be so easy to stop. The splenetic
fury Trump taps may be immutable, and no
Nixon is on the horizon to focus it.
When Trump says that “the police are the
most mistreated people in this country,” he
channels Wallace, who argued that the
Supreme Court had “handcuffed” the cops
with Miranda v. Arizona and other
decisions. “I’m going to give the total
support of the presidency to the policemen
and the firemen in this country,” Wallace
said. “. . . My election as president is going to
put some backbone in the backs of some
mayors and governors.” It was his coded
invitation to mayhem. Wallace’s America
was already raw, inflamed by years of
confrontations between an insurgent civil
rights movement and the violent backlash
against it, riots, assassinations, and turmoil
over an unpopular and unwinnable
Vietnam War.
Wallace’s third-party movement couldn’t
last, and Nixon was the reason. The
Republican candidate was the shrewd and
ostensibly more civilized alternative to the
flagrantly racist and demagogic Wallace.
The former vice president had only
narrowly lost the 1960 election to John F.
Kennedy, and in the interim, befriending
Republicans of all stripes, he had
rebranded himself “new.” He projected
reasonable manners.
Nixon wore this cloak of respectability to
outflank Wallace. Denying that his call for
law and order was racist code, he
campaigned in an approximately
presidential manner because he knew
where to turn the silent majority’s
animosity: against the left. Wallace hated
hippies as much as radicals. Nixon was
more subtle in mobilizing reactions against
the cultural changes of the ’60s — civil
rights, feminism, gay rights, revolts against
authority overall. (Working-class rage didn’t
have a dollars-and-cents dimension then
because the country was floating on a lively,
growing economy.) Convincing his voters
that he could put down such unnatural
weirdness without so many snarls, Nixon
was able to confine Wallace’s electoral
college victories to five Deep South states,
the least-reconstructed zone of the
Confederacy.
As a result, Nixon rode a largely unified
Republican Party into the White House.
Democrats, unable to break with the
unpopular war they were responsible for,
and unable to fend off anti-black backlash,
were helpless. Nixon picked off working-
class white Democrats and added them to
the Republican base. Having presented
himself as a law-and-order man, he could
turn on a dime and adroitly declare in his
1968 victory speech that he would “bring
the American people together.”
Nixon and Wallace together won 64 percent
of the white working-class vote. Once in
power, Nixon finished off Wallace as a
political force by doing what his silent
majority wanted: With the help of a
compliant press, he pushed Vietnam off the
TV screen by claiming he was phasing out
the war and by bringing home some
American troops even as the bombing
increased and casualties mounted. He
mobilized the FBI against the increasingly
confrontational Black Panthers and other
left-wing groups. He sent signals that he was
in sync with the backlash: In 1970, he
proudly accepted a hard hat from
construction workers who had assaulted
nonviolent demonstrators near Wall Street
after the Kent State killings; in his second
term, he appointed the hard hats’ leader as
secretary of labor. His message to a fed-up
public was: You can trust your duly
constituted authorities to beat back
subversives. The nation was becalmed,
episodes of riotous violence fell off and
Nixon was reelected in 1972 almost by
acclamation, winning 70 percent of the
white working-class vote.
Today’s nativist animus — and the violence
it has spurred — will not be so handily co-
opted. First, there are stickier economic
problems. In the past few decades,
plutocracy, globalization and compliant
governments have betrayed workers, most
of whom are white. Their decline began
long before NAFTA, with the rise of low-
wage foreign economies and a crushing,
decades-long assault on the unions that had
kept their wages up and their jobs in place.
If Trump enters the White House, he cannot
solve these problems. However often he
fulminates against trade deals, he cannot
conjure secure jobs for his fans. His
“beautiful wall,” whether built or unbuilt,
offers symbolic pleasures, but it would not
make them walk taller or elevate their
paychecks. Neither would tariffs, for which
the price would be high.
Then there are the cultural furies that fuel
the Trump campaign: As a hefty share of
white Americans see it, they’ve been forced
to suffer the depredations of a black
president whose middle name is Hussein —
at this late date, 43 percent of Republicans
still think he is a Muslim. What Trump holds
out to his thwarted followers are the joys of
instant, long-deferred gratification. When
his supporters say “he says what he thinks,”
they mean what they think and, even more,
feel. How thrilling that, at last, a big shot, a
winner, stands up for them, promises to
wall off the bad guys, or punch them in the
face, or both.
Most of all, though, there’s no respectable
version of Trump — no Nixon — waiting in
the wings to deliver on promises and
contain the free-floating hatred. There’s no
one to placate the enraged white working
class, especially the men, and it’s hard to
imagine policies that would make a re-
greatened America “take the country away
from you guys.”
Neither Trump nor his GOP rivals can
create that America — not soon, at any rate.
Merely having a white president again is
unlikely to mollify the angriest white voters.
They want more than walls and nastiness;
they want a viable, reliable economic life.
They want a world where whites have
secure, dignified jobs (better jobs, by the
way, than immigrants and other upstarts
who used to know their place). There’s
every reason to believe that they’ll continue
to feel victimized by malevolent interlopers:
Barack Obama, China, immigrants, Muslims.
Their frustration will have no outlet; no
deliverance is in sight.
Even if Trump retired from politics
tomorrow, the political mainstream has
little or nothing to offer these voters: not
Ted Cruz, not Paul Ryan, not tea party tax
and welfare cuts, not Hillary Clinton or
Bernie Sanders (who would face a
Republican Congress determined to block
their proposals anyway). Cultural backlash
is hard to roll back with policies; it takes on
a life of its own and prompts belligerent
paranoia against “you guys.” This American
trend is not exceptional: Support for the
same kind of nativism and authoritarianism
has been growing for four decades in
Europe.
Because this rage has no easy fix, spatters of
nativist violence are likely into the next
administration. If that is Trump’s, he could
always try the Nixonian mix of centrism and
brute force to contain some of the anger,
but remedial policies alone cannot stop the
backlash he has furthered. It is deep and
unforgiving — so much so that some of
Trump’s legions might be available for
freelance violence. In fact, if Trump loses,
he might decide it would be fun to serve as
a figurehead for that movement. White
police officers, feeling crowded by the Black
Lives Matter movement, might feel the call
to contribute to the backlash, as they did
across the country during the Wallace era.
The difference is that, as a national
candidate, Wallace was an outsider; Trump,
by contrast, is on the verge of conquering
the Republican Party.
In fact, Trump’s bludgeoning rhetoric may
be even more dangerous than Wallace’s.
Defeat could prove to be Trump’s victory,
just as Barry Goldwater’s 1964 rout paved
the way for Ronald Reagan’s ascent. Trump
has opened the gates for imitators in the
years to come — not only mainstream
politicians (he has already won the support
of right-wing Florida Gov. Rick Scott) but
nativist outliers all over. Riotous actions are
seeping out of the campaign and into
ordinary civic life: Basketball fans at a
largely white Indiana high school, for
instance, taunted the players from a heavily
Latino school last month with a poster of
Trump and chants of “Build a wall!”
If Trump arrives at the GOP convention a
few votes shy of a majority and has the
nomination wrested from him, he said
Wednesday, “I think you’d have riots.”
Tossing lit matches into dry straw, he’s
probably right. The future is bright with the
flames of chaos.

Chains And Not Change ------------------------------------------------------------ Nduka Obeigbena had to close down his Arise TV in order to return stolen N550 million to EFCC. We are in chains! Baba Kusa a former director in NNPC wrote in his confessional statement that the N2.2 billion he collected from Dasukigate for prayers against Boko Haram would be returned from the sale of his properties. This is also chains! Fuel importers can no longer cheat the government again through over invoicing. Chains my brother! BVN is so efficient that ghost workers are easily fished out in thousands. Chains! TSA has gone up to N2.7 tn and FG does not have to borrow its own money from commercial banks. Chains! Prices of properties in Abuja for example that used to be prohibitive before now have gone down considerably because the owners are in anti-graft agency's net. Chains! Wealth is being gradually tranfered from the corrupt rich to the hardworking poor. We are truly in chains, more chains! #KeepHopeAlive BY Segun Ogunlela.
