Good, but I'm surprised this same northern leaders that kept quiet throughout Buhari's administration are now talking, protests are also taking place in the core north, something we didn't see for good 8 years under Buhari.


This country is irredeemable, people choose when to talk and protest, they won't do it if their son is in power, the same thing is playing out in south west, and I don't expect them to join any nationwide protest with Tinubu in Aso Rock.

Anyway, this hardship is unprecedented and I agree with everything he said.

In saner climes leaders resign if they can't fulfill their promises, I remember several UK prime ministers like David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz truss, they all resigned.

We have a clueless president.

There was a protest in Osun and Ogun state recently. Go to social media and see yourubas complaining in their droves. People are complaining irrespective of tribes.

WHAT IS PLASTERBOARD?
Plasterboard is a panel made of calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) usually pressed between a facer and a backer. It is used to make interior walls and ceilings. This 'Drywall' construction became popular as a quicker alternative to traditional lath and plaster.

Plasterboard is used to help builders and designers meet building regulations for fire protection, acoustic insulation and thermal efficiency. It can also help to control condensation and potential damage in areas of high humidity.

Let the police clamp down on criminals among them collecting bribes and aiding robbery first

Defensive football is risky.

DeLaRue:
You think so, but that's not the reality.

There is a pain point at which demand for many imported goods will fall fast. People will simply start buying less and less of them. Whether that pain point is at N1500, N1800, or N2000 to a dollar, I don't know.

But the CBN will have the data. They know. If N1500 doesn't stiffle imports to the level they want, I suspect the CBN will not mind seeing naira close to N2,000 to a dollar.

In some ways, it is to the credit of Mr Tinubu's administration that it is willing to follow this extremely tough path to redirect the economy from import-dependence to greater local production. For a politician facing election in just over 3 years to follow a path that may not show positive results for a few years, is truly brave.

The Nigerian economy was heading for the rocks after over 40 years of mismanagement. Tough decisions are needed to correct long term over dependence on imports.

That naira/dollar pain point is the point at which local production of certain goods starts becoming more viable than importing the same goods. This should translate to us producing more of what we need locally. This will lead to more job creation, less pressure on the naira, and a stronger, more balanced economy in the long term.

But this approach comes with a lot of economic pain initially, as the country is witnessing now.

That's the theory o.

Whether things happen in practice like I stated above is a different matter, because Nigeria's situation often defy economic theory.

.you are not making sense with this analogy. You can't destroy your currency because you want to do import restrictions. This is just pure conjectures. The Cbn recently lifted ban on the 41 items accessing forex.
Do you want to hear the truth, both the President and CBN are all confused, all approach are knee jerk.
Let them call Sanusi Lamido back to help them, there is no pride in seeking for help.

MrProlific95:
This attacks and the kidnap all appear coordinated to embarrass Tinubu

So before when Gej, they were not to embarrass. Tell the president to stand up to his responsibility.

Those things came from the flooring of the house. No matter how she does it, she would always have ants issues in that house.

tfelicityk:
It is very very annoying when governors of state will be waiting for the presidency to come and tackle the insecurities in their respective states for them.

They are quick to use the political word - "I am the Chief Security of my State". They should exercise the power on the non actors disturbing the peace and harmony of their state.

They should inert it to their respective state laws. Any person caught with this crime - kidnapping, terrorism, banditry and other vices of crimes should be prosecuted and killed if found guilty by the laws.

It seems they are afraid to do that...

.who would handle the arrest and prosecution. You don't know that. It's only police is allowed to carry guns and prosecute criminals. Tinubu has been clamouring for state policing, let him take action now lm

President from diaspora.. Nigeria president hibernating in am another man's land. What a country

Umuinyioku:
Lagos state government has not stopped this witch haunting. Election has come and gone.

Power is transient. Power will slip from them one day. And they will realise their folly and ethnic bigotry.

Enough is enough!

This isn't. about tribe if I m correct. The Igbos are likely at the receiving ends because they are traders may be. This is a govt issue and govt obviously has right over the citizen but they must also show human's face.
There were demolition in Anambra, Enugu and Owerri too, what would you call that.

ProudNigerian01:
I think others above have said what I wanted to say so let me kukuma do the main thing that brought me here which is to preach.

Make I first greet.

Una well done o.

How long do you think you have to keep postponing your repentance and being serious with God?

Time is not yours and you don't know what will happen next so stop taking a needless risk.

Open your heart to God, resist the devil and his sinful ways:

James.4.7 - Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Weekend don come, please don't commit fornication, masturbation, lustful thoughts today.

It is a sin against your body and your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Each time, you engage in sexual immorality, you reject God.

1Cor.6.18 - Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

God loves and is only interested in blessing you.

You dey beg someone not to commit fornication or adultery. You commit fornication you bear the consequences. God has given us choices. It is our business to make the right choice and obviously with consequence.

emkz:
I'd not engage you any further.

You argue to try to win and not argue to make sense. You are filled with hate and I hope you find peace with yourself. You accused me of being paid. If I ask you for proof of payment, the world would see how stupid you are.

I am too big to engage in personal attacks with your likes. When you are more mature, you can return to read and maybe your brain will be open then.

Goodbye.

I gave you facts that your principal and the president is dull, and you ran away because you don't have any points.

You said govt should ban the use of dollars. Who would ban the use of dollars? Is it the same president that was parading bullion vans on election day and also sharing dollars to delegates to sway them for votes.
Nigerians always think they can escape the consequences of their actions.
Welcome to the era of free fall of Naira.

emkz:
Did you just say that Tinubu floated the dollars?

You are such an intelligent person. Wow!!

If your intelligence is not suspect, you'd realize that the state of the Nigerian economy is a culmination of years of governments that didn't understand how to manage the economy. Currency is but one component of the economy. Are you not old enough to know that years of successive governments defending the naira by subsidizing the dollars was not a sustainable practice?

What is attacking the naira?

The only thing attacking the naira is unregulated consumption of foreign goods. If you consume locally produced items, your dollar burden reduces. When government subsidizes the dollar, those who benefit the most are the rich who import foreign cars, wines, clothing, babes, etc. The average man wants to eat, have a decent accommodation and have a decent wage to cater for his family. By subsidizing dollars, we wasted money that could have been spent on building factories, infrastructure and education on subsidizing the rich. The end game is poverty of the majority.

It was not a sustainable practice.

Finally, we are all guilty of these crime of attacking the naira. I see many people holding the dollars in their hands and even opening bank accounts in dollars. In Nigeria, we operate a dual currency regime of dollars and naira. This is illegal. I have travelled to several countries in the world and the only country where I see people charging things in a currency different from theirs outside an airport is Nigeria. Even some embassies collect fees in fx. This is wrong!

If government sees dollars in anyone's hands, it must be assumed that it was stolen because it is not a legal tender within Nigeria. Banks too need to be stopped from opening accounts in fx for anyone within Nigeria. It is not done anywhere else.

In Nigeria, everyone wants to have dollars and come out boldly to blame Tinubu for excessive cost of dollars. If those people who hid dollars bring them out, the price will re-equilibriate.

You can see how confused you are. Right from all successive military govt plus the 16years of PDP govt, Naira was kept under #200 to a Dollar. In 8years of Buhari, it became #735, and in just 7months of Tinubu, it is now #1400, can you see your confusion. You are paid to come spew trash here.
You thought I belong to group of myopic Nigerians you can deceive with propagandist jingoism.
The same Tinubu was sharing dollars to delegate to win the primaries, you must have forgotten so soon.
The future of younger ones are being mortgaged by criminal in govt.
You floated a currency and at the same time removed subsidy. What do you expect if not catastrophy.
You would soon see naira exchange for #2k to a Dollars.

emkz:
We run a federal system, with elected officials. State governors destroyed local government administration for reasons only they can explain. The only state where local government is effective is Lagos State.

When there was Badoo boys in Ikorodu, the local government administration and the traditional institutions dealt with it and the state and FG consolidated their efforts.

State governments can solve these problems. Set up vigilante. The locals know the criminals among them.

You.dont have an idea of what is going on Nigeria, you are illinformed or you want to shield your principal from responsibilities.
You are comparing Badoo to Banditry and terrorism. You don't have an idea at all.
Nigeria is in a wrong hands, it's only by the mercies of God that we can escape.

emkz:
Do we not also need funds to diversify the economy?

There is nothing wrong with having oil and mineral revenues. What we need is to utilize them efficiently.

We were all here when Donald Duke did Tinapa, Obudu Cattle Ranch and even brought Miss World hosting to Nigeria. But religious extremists made a mess of the hosting of Miss World. In addition, Duke's successors refused to build and consolidate on the foundation of Duke.

We see how Lagos earns revenue from service industry. What are the other state governments doing to earn revenue for their states?

Mostly nothing. Tinubu is expected to solve all the problems.
Some state governments destroy alcohol but still collect the money earned from VAT charged on alcohol sold in other states. Development is also elusive when you live with people who are retrogressive in their thinking. At this stage of our national life, Senator Ali Ndume and his co-travellers are insisting that some departments of CBN and the headquarters of FAAN must stay in Abuja without advancing sensible arguments to even show they are competent in thinking.

Instead of developing mining resources, state governments seemingly cooperate with illegal miners to steal from their own people, and even kill them.

Look at insecurity. Instead of setting up local vigilante to solve the problem, state governments want the President to come and solve their problems for them.

The problem of the naira is that state governments are mostly unproductive. Hold them to account.

Your argument is riddled with confusion. Thrash.
Dollars was #735 before Tinubu floated it about 7months ago, now it is #1400. Tell that President that he has destroyed the economy..How can you float Dollars in a country where you don't print Dollars.
Tinubu is responsible for the state of Nigeria economy and it's just a pity.

EreluRoz:
Ajaokuta steel is lying there abandoned and not active, that alone can solve a whole lot of mess in Nigeria but it must be only oil.

Youth of the country are still sleeping, the few ones in position to make a solid statement are worse than the old corrupt leaders.

When we are all ready for revolution, you can call on me for support.

Meanwhile we should keep praying for asiwaju to succeed because he obviously has good intentions for Nigeria.

You are speaking from both sides of the mouth.
You want a revolution on one hand and on the other hand, the president has a good intention, let this good intention turn to good country for us so that our foreign exchange could shore up..

These are very good questions. We need answers from the govt.

Very good Brother and well-done. I hope the lady in question would do that if she was the one..

That administration was far far better than this current one even though Buhar was minus. This current over sabi man is destroying everything.

Wike is so humbled. You better face the Abuja work and allow Rivers state to breathe

Tinubu has turn to a preacher. I want to be president, it my turn..Now perform, you can't perform, you are preaching.
Naira is #1400, Oga president, you better wake up from.slumber.

Good and let's also channel same energy towards thuggery, drugs abuse, yahoo yahoo fraud and under age prostitution.
