You cant eat your cake and have it! Do you expect him to sell PMS at subsidized prices to Nigeria? PMS per litre sells in the international market at about USD0.90. That is already at N1500. So what do you expect? We put ourselves in the box when we devalued our currency, and that is now affecting every price. Bring the dollar rate to 750 and PMS price will come to about N700 per litre without subsidy.

Mvnster:
Some have said dangote wont supply fuel till it gets to 1500 per litre. Its a cabal vs cabal something.

When he comes out to protest like he did before,we will take him serious,he must finish what he started o.

Good riddance... CBN and NCS could not agree on a unified exchange rate for import duties despite having a single trade portal.

NCS claimed they have a target to deliver for FGN...

CBN still acting like a start up...

Another policy summersault (trademark of this govt)

The best Presidential jets must always be on standby for the President's intinery. the embarrassment that happened in netherland a few weeks ago must never repeat itself. The most powerful President in africa must never again get stranded on foreign trips.

Daylight robbery
Tinubu is bringing the Lagos model to nigeria
Tax everything, steal everything you can, sprinkle little development on the people

If it takes money away from the people... Instant implementation!

If it puts money in people's pockets.... It will take forever!


This levy is illegal and should be contested in court.

If Banks and BDCs cannot be trusted. CBN has branches in almost all state capitals, all Dollar sales should be done by the CBN jare

Kelklein:
You have a point.. the only problem is that even the Banks are crooked.. they get Dollar allocations too like the BDCs but they hoard instead of transacting with them..

The EFCC is trying to clean up the system of street-trading and we can only implore them to sustain the monentum.. it's going to be hard tho. They deserve some commendation for the little they have done esp in Zone4 Abuja.. that place used to be a free-for-all but there is some level of moderation now..

An analogy is almost like those that trade fuel on the road. It is those who need them and patronise them that are encouraging the trade. If nobody is buying, you won't see them on street.. but then you have to move your car from A to B and the fueling stations have endless queues or no fuel sometimes..

The wayout is to boost your foreign reserve via exports and productivity, and discourage the need for Dollars as much as possible.. Productivity is a double edged sword.. because it makes Items people would pay dollars to import available locally and earns you foreign exchange when you export excess to outside country...

the government only pay lip services to banning transactions in dollars in the country. People still pay their wards school fees in dollars.. The political class are still converting their loots into dollars on a daily basis.. the EFCC and NFIU needs to device a means to nip money laundering at source.. but again the Banks have not been helping..!

Nigeria is wild..

onatisi:
the solution is not only the military and obj have continually emphasized this but the governments of Gej, buhari and now Tinubu keep ignoring this advice. unemployment is a major cause, the majority of these youths can't see any alternative so they just take to these bad vices, if you tell them to leave banditry, the next question will be what will they be doing, so they need to be engaged.
there is no way the military can win this war, in fact the gangs are increasing daily and getting more members, the question we should be asking is why are young people joining them?

“If we are able to give them employment, there will be less of them getting involved in banditry, in kidnapping and in doing various other criminal activities that they get involved in,” he added.

What employment can you give a person who thinks he can get tens of millions a week through banditry? As long as these people see gross thieving going on in state houses, nass, etc, it will be hard to convince them to work.

theredaddy:
He did it Lagos and where is Lagos today among the 35 remaining states in Nigeria

To a lame man, high taxation should drive away businesses and investors But are investors running out of lagos or trooping to Lagos.

Taxation is bad only from an emotional POV

Yankee101:
It’s just nominal paper figures not real growth


Dollar under buhari was 400 plus, and 1k plus under Tinubu

Our source of revenue is oil and imports which are all dollar denominated. By the time you convert to a devalued naira it should increase of course. That’s not growth, that’s devaluation

kettykin:
Increase in VAT when the GDP has moved from number 1 to number 4 in Africa.

When will Nigerians think out of the box
