onatisi:i think you're right bro.most people commenting here about Mexico have not been to Mexico and are just getting all their info through hearsay.Imagine someone saying that a professional in Mexico gets $140/month.i bet he doesn't know the true definition of a minimum wage which he got from google.That amount is below the Mexican minimum wage and just like in every other country the minimum wage is mostly for the unskilled/school drop outs and the most funny thing is that apart from their salaries these type of people in Mexico receives annual benefits totalling about $4,000 with lots of credit facilities/social securities for houses,cars and free medication.I also forgot to mention how the employers have to advertise and advertise with lots of concerts even promising free foods and transportation just to entice workers,now compare that with Nigeria.I have lived in both countries and can categorically tell you that it is only a drunk who would compare Mexico with Nigeria! 7 Likes |

Politics / Re: "The Economist" Accuses Buhari Of Worsening Nigeria's Economy by benpedro(m): 1:41am On Jan 29, 2016 |
arresa:guy relax, your emotions are high but it has NOTHING to do with the VALUE of the naira.Who doesn't want something good for his country? In fact I want the price of a naira to be equal to the US dollar but the point here is that the naira is already devalued, the law of economics says that the policy of pegging the price of the a currency leads to a disaster and so it will inevitably be unless the President retract it's step.He can only achieve his goal If he also peg the price of naira to a dollar in the black market (which is impossible).The same economist news that says that GEJ is an ineffectual buffoon which I agrees he is even more than that is also saying that Buhari's policy of pegging the currency value is ineffective and will only lead to a disaster.Procter and gamble is just a firm, we need more investors, buhari is not a fool for traveling all over the world trying to woo other investors. Moreso, nigerians in the diaspora which is one of the basic avenues the nigerian economy receives dollars will be slowed down.Why? If you send a dollar through Western Union, they will give you 197-199naira but if you want to transfer that money back to the US, the bank charges you 270-290.As a diasporan, would you risk sending your hard earned money to Nigeria? 2 Likes |

arresa:like I said before, the VALUE of the naira does not depend on your emotions or dreams and aspiration for a self sufficient industrialized Nigeria but on the demand!!! And as I can see from your second statement about Jonathan, you are a politician and not an economist.And who are you to tell investors who have their money how to invest it?lol you have 150,000, 000 consumers of which more than half are broke ass nig44s whose conditions will worsen in the coming months. And remember that the argument is devaluing the naira OFFICIALLY this time because it has already been devalued to its REAL VALUE in the parallel market hence the skyrocketing of the price of goods in Nigeria today 15 Likes 2 Shares |

NavierStokes:bro relax,what Buhari and his economic team are doing is initial gra gra anf the smart investors knows what is the reality in cases like this.Nigeria is BROKE!no dollars,oil is now almost useless.They export crude oil yes but at lost,they get the dollars yes but they spend almost all the dollars refining it outside the country.You get it?.....It's just a matter of time,the dollars in the foreign reserves will exhaust and et voila reality will set in.My advice to anybody in Nigeria is to invest in landed properties and those in diaspora to jejely keep their money in the bank of whatever country they resides or even invest it their until the inevitable happens 2 Likes 1 Share |

The foreign investors will just come, look at the fixed official rate and the parallel price of a dollar to naira and shake their head.what an unserious bunch of black asses.And please all these politicians here including the president himself should abstain from discussing the economy because most of them have little or no clue about basic economics.The VALUE of a currency DOES NOT depend on your emotions or your dreams of an industrialised nigeria but on the DEMAND of the naira in the money market!The true VALUE of the naira is what is obtainable in the parallel market and not the fixed CBN official rate.There are so many people especially those nigerians living in the diaspora who have lots of foreign currencies(of course their host countries must have devalued their own currency to the dollst)to send but sees the cbn official rate as funny and unserious,hence they will keep their money waiting until the naira is OFFICIALLY devalued which is BOUND to happen sooner or later!I am still waiting to see some of you here supporting this policy that are importers of anything including raw materials or cars who have gotten the dollars easily at the official rate.The price of everything has skyrocketed in the market and the president is saying he don't want to suffer the poor masses smh 15 Likes |

alberbo:Truth is that for a Nigerian to leave all such sweet countries and tourist sites as can be found in some parts of Africa,Europe and South american countries which are closer to Nigeria,to go to Mexico is already a red alert!Now someone is trying to choose January, a season known for its harsh weather to visit a north American country for tourism?Besides which company gives its employees vacation in January?My humble advice to the dude is to do all he could to travel during this festive period with a ticket that shows he will be coming back to Nigeria before the 5th of January,that at least would've sounded reasonable to the immigration at the point of entry! 1 Like |

Have nothing else to say but to call you a tribal bigot!!!As far as i am concerned,the money might even be taken by a non nigerian in the flight but because you are a tribalist who also suffers from inferiority complex,you have to shift the blame to your fellow countrymen.Whatever happened to alerting the nairalanders about these development here without mentioning people from a certain tribe? Funny enough,your dirty lazy black as* will be the first labelling whites racists when they singled you out for a crime simply because you're a black. 1 Like |
