High chief of neverlandd, what are you producing? If you have, exporting it won't be a problem, People who are into cashew export are making a killing right now so don't peddle falsehood, the problem is that most people became over reliant on cheap oil proceeds & didn't look for alternatives before now..

Why did you also sidestep your earlier assertion? Ba sincerity of purpose ko?


Mr wailer up there, schooling abroad is a luxury!! that your country's educational standard is falling & you choose to seek alternative (great decision) is cool, but it doesn't make it less of a luxury!!!!

Some things are just common sense & logic, wailing, nit picking & bitching about everything isn't opposition...
This your epistle should be to the Galatians (Awon alainironu, ara Galatia) who voted the dullest old man as a president. Let not beat around the bush, our country lost focus since 29th May 2015 when we decided to return to the 'stone-age' in this digital era.

As to your exporting argument, go and ask those exporting cashew how profitable is their venture and they will tell you they break-even, with small margin.

You grant loan to farmers at 26-30% interest rate and expect to export to compete with countries with 2-5% loan interest rate. What a joke.

That was actually the beginning of my grouse with BAT & OBJ. angry

I sponsored a candidate back then when the looter created additional LG in LAG., and OBJ as the president request PDP members not to participate in the vote as he would cancel the LG election, we boycotted the election as advised, all the spends became a waste and OBJ could not stop the fruadulent additional LG BAT created before finally converting same to LCDA. Thanks to Pastor Prof. Osinbajo. (The pastor behind the professional looter, offering professional legal service to the crook).

And what we see thereafter was the handpicking of candidates from his bedroom in Bourdillon without recourse to due process and democratic principles. angry

As much as I sympertize with this administration, I will surely not shy away from my strong opposition stand, we warned Nigerians not to return back to Egypt & slavery, they refused to listen. See the nemesis now.

CBN no longer independence to marshal its best policy, but rather take orders from the dullard.

Obiagelli:
Calm down, the government still earn money in dollars for sale of oil (however small) but still pays state government in naira. That should stop
Am here to add to my knowledge ni, am calm like water.

You argued that CBN should pay the state government in USD right? That would require a revised of some of CBN monetary policy.

However, paying states in USD is not new to Nigeria, (2008, CBN did same).


CBN Now Pays States in Dollars


Nigeria, 01/17 –

With effect from this month, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will begin payments from the federation account to states in US dollars.


The dollar payment, which is one of the four pillars of the CBN`s “Strategic Agenda for the Naira” originally billed to be implemented last September, is geared towards strengthening the nation`s currency, the naira, and managing liquidity in the economy.

Already, the banking watchdog has paid the $1.8 billion refunds from excess Paris Club exit debt to states last month.

A circular containing guidelines for the dollar payments addressed to banks and obtained by THISDAY states: “Sequel to the payment of the Paris Club, from the excess crude deductions from their statutory allocations in the process of effecting the payments, the following guidelines are to enable designated banks make refunds of excess deductions to affected states.

“1.The CBN shall transfer the US Dollar amount allocated to the respective states to the offshore FEM of the designated banks.

“2. The banks shall credit the domiciliary account of the beneficiary state with the amount allocated to them as soon as the accounts are created.

“3. Any interest accruing to the amount from the date the banks are credited by the CBN to the date the funds are paid into the domiciliary account of the state shall be transferred to the beneficiary.

Furthermore, banks shall also pay appropriate interest on the balance in the domiciliary account pending utilisation of funds by the states.”

The circular, which was signed on behalf of the CBN`s Director of Foreign Operations by one J.J Aluko, however, stated that banks shall not be allowed to effect disbursement of funds from the accounts to their states in US dollar cash.

“Drawing from the accounts shall be made in naira at the prevailing inter-bank exchange rate on the date of the request from the state. However, states can utilise the funds in their accounts to effect offshore payments in respect of eligible transactions including opening of letters of credit subject to appropriate documentation and authorisation by the state governor,” the circular stated.

The three other pillars, which form the phase two of the CBN reforms, are the naira redenomination that was suspended last September, the current acc-ount liberalisation/convertibility and accession to article V111 of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as well as inflation targeting for the conduct of Monetary Policy, which are billed to commence by January 1, 2009 respectively.

As a result of the structure and development of Nigeria`s financial system, the underdeveloped nature of the foreign exchange markets, as well as the restrictions on foreign exchange transactions, the CBN until last December had traditionally fully monetised the foreign currency receipts in the Federation Accounts, to be shared by the three tiers of government.

Initially, the CBN also maintained the accounts for all the tiers of government – as part of the liquidity management framework. Subsequently, as the banking system developed, the CBN allowed the share of the states and local governments to be deposited with the commercial banks.

Beside strengthening the naira, the dollarisation of states` allocation provides an additional instrument for effective liquidity management by the CBN. Given the fact that Nigeria earns dollar from its crude oil export, which constitutes more than 90 per cent of her earnings, if the apex bank disburses such funds to states in naira, it would have to print additional naira – thus pushing additional funds into the economy.

http://www.nigerianmuse.com/20080117163950zg/sections/spotlight-focus-on-issues/nigerias-revenue-allocations-cbn-now-pays-states-in-dollars/


This approach will naturally increase the demand for the dollar and weaken the naira, according to experts.

2. How can CBN flood Nigerian market with USD, as asked by Obiagelli?

So, we print Naira? Or where do we get the funds to fund the economy?

So you create further excess liquidity?


http://www.opinionnigeria.com/sensible-path-to-stronger-naira-and-economic-prosperity-by-henry-boyo/#sthash.hyWWsaT0.eJNNE8Wx.dpbs
Printing more Naira is not the solution to meeting FX demand based on the OP's question.

CBN currently have enough Naira liquidity, meaning banks now have more naira waiting for FX conversion.

Even on Yahoo blogs after the election, folks from other countries were asking how a country could have elected a former dictator.

Are we so dumb, that out of 160 million people, we couldn't find someone fresh? so we had to go back in time to bring back someone that stole the presidential mandate with a gun?

I just don't get it!

Daily, you here about Nigerians breaking records abroad and Even just recently a Nigerian solved an age old mathematics problem that had evaded solution from others for years.

So out of all the extraordinary Nigerians, we still had to go back and bring a dictator back?

Why are black people like this? I hate to generalize, but in this case, it just seems that the general population is filled with dumb people, or maybe overly sentimental and tribal people, which is still falls under the definition of dumb in my opinion.

Sad that we keep getting things wrong. I hope one day, we will put our brains to good use and critically analyze a candidate, though that may be hard to do for an illiterate population.
