Nigeria, Delta born, Havard trained, renowned economist Dr.mrs.Okonjo Iweala should be invited by the Nigerian government to help solve the current economic problems in the country.

She's the current vice president of world bank for African region,she's also the head of world trade organization and member of board of many top notch word institutions.

She should be invited to work with some sound economist back home to find a lasting solution to the present economic imbroglio nigeria finds herself

As at the first quarter of 2015 when Okonjo Iweala was the Minister of Finance, she was borrowing to pay recurrent expenditure

What MUST be done:

1 Outright ban of the use of dollars within Nigeria.

2 Give holders of dollars a month to put it in the banking system after which it will be seized if found on the holders.

3 People like Herbert Wigwe charging tuition fees in their universities in dollars need to be compelled to pay their workers in dollars and also pay electricity bills, diesel bills, and other expenses in dollars.

4 All BDCs must be heavily regulated and if dollars is sold to anyone, the reason must be compelling and must be traceable.

5 Arrest politicians found with dollars.

6 We can't afford to have accounts opened in foreign currencies within Nigeria. Our economy can't support it.

7 Some of the things we import are not needed. Therefore impose heavy taxes on luxury cars, foreign wines, clothing, and food. Visit shops and hike the tax on foreign commodities like cashew, apples, and shoes. Nigeria is a big market. The least Toyota and Honda owes us is to run assembly plants within Nigeria.

8 NNPC must be stopped from selling crude oil to local refiners in dollars.

9 No company, including foreign ones, must be allowed to pay any worker in foreign currency. The idea of working in Nigeria is that you spend your earnings in Nigeria. If you want to remit funds abroad, use proper banking channels to do your transfer and pay the appropriate fees.

10 We found out that some embassies in Nigeria collect visa fees in foreign currencies in cash in Nigeria. We call on the foreign affairs minister to call those ambassadors to stop the practice. Some of these embassies use the desperation of our people to prey on them and commit crimes that cannot be tolerated elsewhere. Any embassy operating in Nigeria that cannot respect and idolize our naira should close and go elsewhere where such crimes of collecting a non-legal tender within a country they operate in is allowed. If they collect naira, they can use our banks to remit the funds or use online transfers so they can get the forex equivalent of the naira charges in their accounts in their countries. I call on Nigerians to be bold enough to report some of these embassies for the sharp practices.

11 Some of the embassies in Nigeria are desperately corrupt. Especially of some countries in the EU.

Your head is correct

Chinjo2:
I am sure he voted for APC.
You people are really dealing with the Igbos.
So let him enjoy the cake he helped in baking.

You're "sure"? What is the evidence you have?

Hmmm, hope kidnapping hasn't come to stay. It's a very bad crime

Lastmessenger2:
the real incoherent is in france

I wish you joy and happiness

Lastmessenger2:
my evidence is in France

You're sounding incoherent

Lastmessenger2:
Propaganda government. This news is to save face. Fulani's are your boss. Deal with it

Do you have any evidence for this?

Nigerian state governors

Most of them are as useless as letter K in KNIFE.

Why can't a state government build a world class hospital complete with diagnostics capability?

Why can't any state government encourage mechanised farming?

Most of the problems facing Nigerians can be solved at their state level but most of the state governors are inept.

CharleyBright:
Hmmm.
The Relocation of CBN to Lagos or not has become a issue of contention between the Northern Nigeria and the Western Nigeria.
The North have been looking for reason to dump Tinubu and sweep power back to the North too early.
This CBN relocation issue will most likely set the ball rolling for a campaign of calumny by the North against Tinubu and serve as a cogent reason for the North not to support him in 2027 election.
As 2027 draw near Sai NNPP will be echoing in the North and massive decamping to NNPP will follow to leave Tinubu holding the APC broom alone.
This I have seen in advance.

Faulty assumptions

Wrong conclusion

Authoreety:
Make him papa catch am fes

What will his papa do to him?

You think his papa isn't aware yet or hasn't been seeing him?

Would he have turned out this way if his papa could do anything in the first place?

There are people of all walks of life living in Lagos and they conduct themselves well.

Check again and you will see them

DMerciful:
Which dividends of governance?

An El Rufai committee will be rejected so lets not get it twisted

What's the alternative?

It's easy to criticize

ogaontop:
A national dialogue that will repeal the existing constitution and be backed by the National Assembly!
You follow the existing constitution in making a new one

It won't be constitutional if the members are not elected

The members can't be elected because there's no constitutional basis to do so

ogaontop:
Different members of the confab committee are not just PDP members and they are more diverse than the El Rufai's committee because it's like a National dialogue drawn from all the geopolitical zones of the country!
The only thing I can agree here is that governments should make such discussions and subsequent implementation a constitutionally backed national dialogue rather than a political party affair!!

Constitutionally-backed national dialogue?

How exactly will this be achieved?

How?

DMerciful:
You left the confab to implement work done by a committee?

Modified: Either the confab or a sovereign national conference. We must renegotiate our existence and decide if we wanna be together and under what terms!

Whether with the confab or the committee, you still need the national assembly to get anything done.

Why waste time on another confab? People are so much in a hurry for the dividends of governance, why waste another one or two years again?

Just stay away from transformers and high tension wires to avoid stories that touch the heart.

You're obviously still mourning

Too much grief breaks the heart

Continue to mourn the loss of Jonathan and your other god

Jonathan no send you

People like you need to be schooled in mannerisms and decency two major ingredients you absolutely lack.

You've been jumping from one general and imprecise argument to the other littering the whole place with stupidity.

Justnation:
People like you need to be schooled in mannerisms and decency two major ingredients you absolutely lack.

You're so much in need of what you're recommending.

Again, you've demonstrated your shallowness, vindictiveness and utter folly.

Just check the exchanges from the beginning and the pathetic trail you've created

Spit!

Justnation:
Go and take your medication before you become incurable

Another nonsense from your diseased brain

Just sit down and ask yourself if you're actually behaving normally

Your responses are out of point and irrational

Get well

Justnation:
You are miserably Languishing in self pity which you brought upon yourself through myopic narrow minded choice of leadership.
You will miserably continue to clutch on straws to defend the indefensible

Another nonsense from a terminally diseased mind

The rubbish you have penned is not related to the issue at hand: another sign that you're deranged.

Again, Jonathan has moved on.

Listen: Jonathan is not hurting.

Can't you see that you're sick?

Justnation:
Just as you were never satisfied with Jonathan, you may likely br among those that crucified Jonathan over Stella oduah

You've just exposed your utter folly. Just read again "...you may likely be....



If I asked you to show any evidence of what I did to Jonathan, you would start rambling and uttering unmitigated nonsense.

Your thoughtless message also shows that the response of yourself and your ilk to the current administration is not borne out of patriotism but out of revenge on what you thought happened to Jonathan

Sadly for you lot, Jonathan has since moved on while you're still stuck in the past.

Until she and the other lady is jailed, and buhari probed I can’t be surprised by her suspension

It’s just to save face because of public outcry nothing more

The tunji guy too has been fingered to be beneficiary of better edu cash transfer to non rusting entities “owned” by him

Even when both of them are jailed, some people will still come up with other issues

That suspension was just to save face, the woman was used to score cheap political points nothing more to it
