Fiscal policy hmmm

Fiscal policy is essentially about governments management and strategy of taxation and spending.

It's part of economic policy but isn't a determinant of national currency exchange rates.

You really want to make reference to Monetary policy and central bank activities that are directed toward influencing the quantity of money and credit available in an economy.

I don't think this is the place for that .
I know what I was asking you about.I know the answers could be gleaned from the Internet but I wanted your answer in relation to Nigeria and in lay man's terms. I was def going to ask about monetary policy and the economy as a whole but one question at a time.
The bolded on your statement is true. Anyways enjoy your night.

In 2015 the exchange rate was 250 naira to £1.

In early August l came into Nigeria and exchanged at 685 to £1, when I left in early October it was 780 to £1.

The government financial stability strategy actually does the opposite creates INSTABILITY. Restrict $ allocation to BDC operators , creating false shortage and then to add incompetence to cluelessness they accuse ABOKI fx for causing Naira depreciation by its reporting.

But then what can you expect from a leader who has no school leaving certificate.

To be honest I tire for the matter.
How do you make the naira stronger against the dollar? And again, what has changed in current fiscal policy as against former policies? Please kindly explain.

Na you dey answer am. I was reading until I saw Nigeria was under British slavery(Nigeria was a British protectorate before it became a colony) until 1960. And my thought was na who do this man like this. If this is a point for you then consider when apartheid ended in SA. There's a difference between white ruled SA and black ruled SA. I also hate these comparisons, there should be no reason for all the BS, but I see that many of them here will be happy with an effed up Nigeria. Don't know why, maybe Nigerians in their countries are effing up but why hate millions more that have never crossed into their border.

They are the type that will be happy if any foreigner agrees to their posts. And even if without fact and are quick to support any rubbish written against their country. They are the type that in this country will call a Chinese man master. They have No self esteem, no pride, nothing. Mtcheeew.

My mother asked the gunmen to kill her alone and spare us but they shot her and all my siblings —Survivor of Yelwa-Zangam attack recounts tales of horror

It was all tears at the Our Lady of Apostle Hospital, Jos, Plateau State during the week when relations and sympathisers besieged the hospital to see those who survived the attack on Yelwa-Zangam in Jos, North local government area of Plateau by gunmen said to be Fulani.

The attackers, who were in their large number were said to have invaded the community at about 8:30 pm. They destroyed the local bridge linking the community to the city centre with the primary aim of blocking any rescue mission or intervention from the neighbouring communities and the security agencies.

It was gathered from some of the survivors of the attack that the marauders, despite the curfew in place, came shooting sporadically and butchering anyone they caught up with before they began house to house operations.

A survivor who said he was returning from work at about 10:00 pm said he took cover under the bridge throughout the time the operation lasted

“For close to three hours that I was hiding under the collapsed bridge, there was wailing and crying from all the houses in the community while thick smoke enveloped the air as the marauders burnt houses.

“I could not run back and I cannot proceed to enter the community. I came out at about 2:00 am when I heard a siren from security vehicles near the bridge. They brought me out but could not go further because the bridge had been damaged by the attackers suspected to be Fulani militias.”

Reliving the attack, one of the victims, Blessing Adubir, who sustained bullet wounds on her leg and hand. said she lost her mother and six siblings in the attack.

She stated that the invaders arrived in the community at about 8:33 pm, and destroyed the bridge linking the area to the Jos city centre. She added that they shot their way into the community to probably announce their arrival shooting at random until they began house to house operations.

“We were preparing to go to bed when we began to hear gunshots in different directions. I and my sister Joyce went outside but were forced to beat a retreat as a result of a sporadic gunshot. The nine of us inside the house escaped to a neighbour house where we met other people.

“They force themselves into the house and discovered me, my mother and other siblings hiding in a room. My mother came out and pleaded with them to kill only her and leave the rest of us. One of the attackers told the other ones in the Fulani language to shoot my mother which he did. Before she collapsed my mother was still pleading with them to spare us, they shot at her again and proceeded to kill all other persons in the house. I was hit on my leg and my mother fell on me. I pretended as I was dead but watching them.

“They brought out the mattress in the house soaked it with petrol and also poured petrol on the chairs. They set the house on fire and locked the door behind them. The entire house was filled with smoke but I struggled to crawl out through one of the doors that was not locked.

“I was later picked by people I don’t know and brought to this hospital. Apart from other people shot and burnt to death in the house, I lost my mummy and six siblings. God will judge, If I die or survive this wound I will not forgive them. They may be happy wherever they are now, I know their joy will soon turn to sorrow” she cursed the attackers

Apart from this, Saturday Tribune equally learnt that virtually every family in the community was touched and presently in pain and agony. It was further learnt that almost all those who took refuge in the house of the community leader otherwise called “Mai Angwan” were killed.

A lady, Agnes Auta 22 years, who escaped with a gunshot wound now receiving treatment at Our Lady Hospital said immediately the sound of gunshots rented the air, a lot of people ran into the house of the community leader for a cover but the attackers later attacked the house.

She said:” They forced themselves into the house, shot everyone and set the house on fire. I was shot on the other leg but I held on to the book of Isaiah 43:2b which says when you walk through fire it will not hurt there” God gave me the courage I walked through the intense fire unhurt.

“There was blood all over the house, those who carried out the killings will regret it. We know them, some of them are our neighbours, we see them as neighbours but they see us as enemies. In that house, almost twenty people were killed,” she said.

cry cry
When I read this I got seriously sad. Even if these people are getting support from a group in the govt the sad reality is that the violence will continually be a vicious cycle. One group will get killed and then their will be reprisals and it continues like that. I wonder who brought up the idea that's it's possible to wipe out a people. One day the left over will come back at you even if it's after a century. The reason why those at the helm of security should take things serious or one day na one day e go reach dem own.

Nah because the Government they do as if they do not know about what he is saying am talking about inviting him. I'm sure there are some white paper report that have been summited in the past they can just go through.


I have no problem with the DSS inviting anybody for questioning. But it shouldn't be done like that of Sunday Igboho own.

Sunday Igboho house was attacked late in the night, they shot dead two innocent civilians, and kidnap the rest.

But this government is clueless, even the BDC operators they told us were funding Boko Haram months ago, we no hear anything about them.
OK sir.

What the diff btw bandits and terrorist
Terrorist seek to force ideology upon the area they seek to dominate... This ideology could be religious or political...eg. BH and IPOB by Nigeria govt. definition
While bandits don't impose ideaolgy but go after Innocents property by looting and exacting destruction... Banditry now in Nigeria is sometimes as good as armed robbery or kidnapping...
However, both Bandits and terrorist should be treated with same prejudice.
There are different types of terrorism, political, criminal, quasi, religious etc. Pick which one so called bandits belong.

I can't answer on behalf of the retired Commodore. The man don talk say he sabi names, why he didn't mention is what I don't know. But I feel the government can take it up from where he stop.

If the Government wants him to mention name, they can send the DSS, as usual. If he has no tangible names and evidence to give, he can be sued to court and used as an example to others.
If the govt should do this, I'm sure you will copy from Saharareporters the news with a caption, "govt silences naval Commodore" and paste it here, meanwhile na you dey give govt the expo o. Well, the rtd Commodore made some allegations, the onus lies on him to lay it bare to the public with proofs that cannot be doubted.

Nigerians are funny, without any investigation by the DSS and Police, dem dey talk say nah rubbish the retired military officer dey talk.

But some of this people, will start arguing with you when you tell them UGM is different from ESN grin

Nah this same country person talk say, "Baboons and dogs will be soaked in blood if the general election was rigged".

Someone also opened is mouth and said "They will form a parallel government if they lose the 2015 General election", imagine make person talk this kin talk in this present day Nigeria cheesy


When there is an attack in the South East, without any investigation, people go start blaming IPOB and ESN, even though UGM go later claim to be responsible for the attack.

A lady was locked up in jail for weeks, without charging her to court or anything, when the story of the lady leaked out, the Police quickly accuse her of been an IPOB spy grin

Gov. Ortom is a lucky man he has immunity, the DSS for don com kidnap am for house, lock him up without charging him to court, and when there is a lot of scream from the press, they will charge him to court for sponsoring all the killings in Benue from 2015 grin

We never ready for this country cool
Oga Dubai, I go want make you try lecture me. Some times some of us no dey reason well but e no dey possible make all of us no reason well. Now concerning that intelligence officer at one point he said he can't just start calling names, but he knows them and the govt knows them too. That means he has evidence. And again he said he doesn't care if he gets killed. At all, at all, na him bad pass. Since him don talk say him no care if them kill am, make him give us just one or two names. With this na court him go end with those people or them go actually kill am of which him no care.
At one time when BH dey bomb everywhere, President Goodluck Jonathan talk say BH dey him govt and as the commander in chief wey people line up to elect you, you can't fit do anything? But them fit name them Henry Okah for eagle Square bombing. Na two things dey involved here, these people dey lie or all na political gymnastics. And you see that woman cop wey dey here, Nafeesa, she dey among the problem wey we get for this country, na tribal bigot in cop uniform.

I dont think their arms will reach us but Kabul will fall in the next 30 Days to the Taliban and it will be a big win for global Jihadism because Russia, China and Pakistan are willing to recognize their claim to power. Counter insurgency is all about winning the hearts and minds of the people and here we have a prime example what happens if this center piece of the military operation fails.
Arms are coming into here from Eastern Europe, I don't see how it can't get here from Afghanistan.

I think the Northern political and Religious leaders needs organize a proper conference on the birth rate in Nigeria.

The Religious leaders should preach against having so many kids if you ain’t financially stable.

My Guy that was picked up by BH in Dikwa that spent 3Months with them before his release, told me that hundreds of kids were training at their camp. In fact weekly na so BH they bring them in numbers.

Too many human materials lipsrsealed
Birth rate? This one no go stop o, as long as our democracy dey use number of voters to win election. The ruling class uses the religious leaders to promote marrying of 4 wives and born as much as you want.

so, "far away Afghanistan" isn't far away at all by American standards.

the equipment the Americans have over in Afghanistan alone is more the total equipment in the stocks of the Nigerian armed forces, serviceable or not.
