FarahAideed: Oga You don't have the brain grade to process this so just rest
Even from you comment I smell low IQ and I am allergic it it .. The fact that you even support this character below says alot about your state of mind ..
FarahAideed: When we say Buhari is an unrepentant stark idiot we know what we are saying , that man has no business being near leadership because he lacks the short term and long term thought processes requisite to drive visionary leadership , after his poor implementation of TSA failed to sink our banks after destabilizing them this wicked Dullard is once again engaging in satanic speculation capable of sinking our banks again...God punish anybody planning to vote this man even as a joke ...
How did TSA sink our banks. Are banks supposed to be engaging in illegal activities.
Who gives banks free money, if they truly collected billions from the cbn then they have an obligation to return it with interest.
timota: Every member of my family can produce their o level certificate without hiring 15 lawyers to help him unlike bihari who cannot provide o level and has been achieving everything through fraud
You still don’t get it. I went to unilag. No one cares about my waec result.
It’s only ignorant losers that keep worrying about this great man’s waec result
timota: what of buhari who is a primary six holder yet to register for waec,Buhari who is an illiterate should come debate with Atiku.
A simple question.
Has any member of your whole family achieved 10% of what general Buhari has achieved in his life.
Have you read his profile - this was a man who lead a whole battalion at the mere age of 20.
In January 1963, at age 20, Buhari was commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria.
From November 1963 to January 1964, Buhari attended the Platoon Commanders' Course at the Nigerian Military Training College, Kaduna.
In 1964, he facilitated his military training by attending the Mechanical Transport Officer's Course at the Army Mechanical Transport School in Borden, United Kingdom.
the difference between atiku and osinbajo is clear as day and light ---atiku never went around the country trying to help the masses instead he sat on his ass in asokoro building his fortune.
now as a typical opportunist he reacts to everything.
lets look at the flip side a nigerian senator earns a minimum of 20m naira a month while a south african parliamentarian earns R86,120 a month --do the conversion then you will know who to blame for nigerias woes.
The 2nd to the last paragraph is exactly what I spoke about. Buhari changed the floating exchange rate policy he inherited and used a pegged exchange rate system instead. It was a recipe for disaster.
The article called it a CBN policy but rather a Buhari policy as it coincided with his assumption of office. It is reminiscent of his lamentable economic policies of his first stint in power in 1983-1985.
Countries have fled pegged exchange rates or tight bands to the dollar or other currencies starting with crisis in the Mexico in 1994, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia in 1997, Russia in 1998, Brazil in 1999 and Argentina in 2001.
Why the average Joe does not like a floating exchange rate is because if there’s an influx of forex, the currency firms up but if there is an outflow, they don’t want to accept reality that the currency will depreciate. The sooner you accept market reality, the better
You worsen matters when you now start using amateurish means such as import bans and forex rationing, the sort of methods Statist like Buhari prefer.
A floating exchange rate helps create an equilibrium As your currency depreciates, due to declining influx of dollars, this makes imports more expensive and makes exports more competitive and more attractive to businessmen
Of course, it can be frightening when forex declines happens rapidly like it did from 2014-2015 but it is futile fighting the market and thinking you’ll win. The Swiss central bank spent $30b in a futile attempt to prevent the Swiss Franc from revaluing but eventually threw in the towel
From mid 2014, the Naira starting falling from 150 to 200 to $1 by May 2015 when Jonathan left office due to fast decline in crude oil price. Emefiele allowed market realities to take place Despite the decline in forex inflows, there was no report of forex shortages.
Buhari thought exchange rate was fixed by the air and you can just give it any rate and it will stick! That’s why people doubt he has a certificate! I can’t blame them. Worse, he won’t take correction
Despite fixing the rate at 197 because the CBN, could not defend the rate which is a pre-requisite of any exchange rate you choose to have (what does Buhari know), buyers started to switch to the black market when government supply was not enough. This quickly led to a fast widening spread between the official rate and parallel rate
During Soludo and Sanusi’s tenures at the CBN, they did their best to keep the difference between the official rate and parallel rate at no more than 3%. At times it was probably less than 2%.
As the CBN couldn’t meet demand, the spread started getting out of hand. First, for the first time in decades, Letters of Credit issued here were not backed with enough forex and local banks could not meet the foreign exchange obligations with their partner overseas banks. This was scandalous.
The spread at one time hit 360 while the official rate while the official rate stayed at 197 creating a round-trippers heaven.
I am not an expert at monetary policies but one point that was glaringly obvious was the fact that we didnt have enough money to defend the naira.
So the question is , why were we defending a currency that should have been allowed to be controlled by market forces - why were we creating an articificial exchange rate.
I believe the main issue - as highlighted in the report was the reckless way we spent our money - in the time of boom we didn’t save enough.so when a crisis happened we were left exposed.
We produce only one product and that is oil - our economy needs to be diversified so we would not be vuberable again
Why do you guys support Buhari? The Naira dropped from 200 to 360 under him.
He's irresponsible pegging of the Naira to the dollar at 197 upon assumption of office plunged the economy into a very severe recession which led to the destruction of millions of jobs.
Utomi, Rewane, Soludo, Sanusi and a host of others condemned his Statist economic policies. The organized private sector also lampooned his policies.
Just Google, "Sanusi condemns Buhari's economic policies" and sees what comes up.
Buhari is a man I see as very honest and principled. Unfortunately, his understanding of economics is very dreadful and managerial competence very lacking.
I wrote off the economy when he pegged the Naira upon assumption of office. Another term will be a lost decade of growth(when you include his first term). Investors,are jittery
BrutusOj: I wonder why some people dont like this Dino guy, he is just too vocal and bold for my liking. Amaechi couldnt stop agreeing with him with his body language
the moment you ask dino how much he earns a month then his boldness would disappear ---he is a paperweight -all talk with no substance
MrAJQ: PDP are bunch of tale evil fabricators, they hate the little the poor are getting from the government.
They hate N-Power, they hate TradeMoni, they hate school feeding program, they hate Abacha loots been returned to the poor masses, they hate pensioners been paid, they revival of railways, they hate one Nigeria. they want Biafra, they hate Boko haram been defeated.
And they want us to vote for them, meanwhile I reject it in Jesus name. I reject in the name of almighty Allah
thanks ...I traveled out of the country recently using MMA -it was very pretty,never had a I seen any of our airports in such great shape..
atiku is smart ,he knows there are many lazy,ignorant nigerians looking for an easy way out -easy money , but unfortunately for him
case in point -ekiti,osun,kwara,katsina,bauchi -atiku would get a royal walloping, and hoping we will have a good working nass -not one that would sabotage critical roads like the lagos ibadan expressway.
