And they’re all better and ahead of Nigeria


Currently Afghanistan better pass Nigeria


What a shame

Nigerians' problem is that we're too self absorbed to really know how other countries are fairing. It's outrageous to compare Afghanistan and Nigeria. Both countries are from different regions, different economies and geographical peculiarities so where is this your comparison based off of?

Meanwhile try comparing between Cassava and Maize.

DeLaRue:
Importation will reduce by fire by force.

The current high inflation has reduced people's ability to purchase goods, particularly imported ones.

Demand for non-essential imports must already be falling drastically, and with crude oil price increasing, Nigeria's balance of payment will rebalance in favour of higher export earnings.

Making imports expensive by devaluing the naira, which is what the government has done is one of the most effective tools for achieving increased local production even though there are unfortunate downsides to that policy.

I think we finally have a clever government.

Go to any supermarket, you will see up to 10 different types of imported breakfast cereals, olive oil, this oil and that oil. Even imported can coke, and many more non-essential imports.

We can produce all the corn we need to make different breakfast cereals, but we don't. We have palm oil, groundnut oil etc, and there is nothing wrong with locally produced coke.

These are just few examples of non-essential imports that is killing the naira.

In the future, when we are producing more and the economy is in a better condition, may be these things can be imported.

For now, we can go back to eating yam, beans etc for breakfast. People did this in the past, it didn't kill them.

I don't know if it might because they're still importing any which way. Govt should just get more proactive and ban all inessential food imports entirely as they did with Rice whilst encouraging those countries to establish factories here. Same as Tecno's parang company who has a manufacturing plant in Ethiopia. They can establish one in Nigeria too.

Orisirisi, Nigerians are very funny set of people. Emeka, Ebuka and kingsley are into importation business and they import all manners of rubbish from abroad.
Tayo, Taiwo are also importing all kind of jargons from Europe. Now the government import petrol and many of you are complaining. The government is just a mirror of her people.

Give ten Nigerians loan today if they wont build hotels, club etc everywhere. I honestly asked one person who criticize obi when he was a governor on this forum why he/she was now rooting for obi now. The person did not reply my mention. Obi business model and performance as Anambra does not make him the best candidate over others to me.

You cant give what you don't have, how can a importer model the Nigeria economy when he failed to do that in his state?
My friend do say my soft spot for tinubu is because i'm a lagosian, i dont just have time for his capping yet. I know his soft spot for obi is because he likes igbo and edo people are big fan of obi.
Normally the igbos are being cheated in Nigeria but obi will fail if he was the president in nigeria kind of government settings where cabals has a bigger say in government. The person most fit for this job is the boastful mr tinubu. Lets see if he can really prove himself.

Obi fans feel they apply common sense but what they apply is emotional sense of entitlement. My friends tag me as tinubu supporter but some of my APC family tag me obidient but this obidient dont know we cant hate on our family because they're APC or tolerate insult because of a political party lol. On the day of election everyone in our house went to vote obi, my mum forced our igbo tenant to come out to vote obi. I had my reservations but my uncle said "Obi ni o!" . Now elections are over everyone has moved on but obi fans are still insulting us.

Obi is just like the rest nothing special to offer, at this stage of my understanding i can tell when someone is just gathering enough fans to when someone will actually perform. Obi will perform well in a government where there are lesser opposing forces but for this type of government, tinubu or atiku are ones that can make big moves and dare alot of opposing forces in government.

And those rooting for military rule and yet complaining about wike arrogant nature are confused and might also be obidient also.

You really had me with the first few paragraphs but I was reading on to see what solutions or conclusions you were going to make and there was none. Just there. RANTS RANTS RANTS, POINTLESS CRITICISM.
Are you saying Tinubu will cut down on imports? What exactly is he going to do to turn the tides around since as we can see, importation is one of the things killing us in this country from the video we just watched.
This isn't the post for your political sentiments, flush it down the toilet biko.

I borrowed from fairmoney and am unable to pay ye I have the intention of paying. I even pay for extension fee to extend the loan. I went to block my ATM card then collected another one. So on Sunday someone sent money into my account to purchase something for him, when I was about to get what I was sent,just about to do transfer I discovered that my account is empty. I was shock. Trying to trace what happened it was fairmoney oooo. They message me that part of my payment has been made. So I was wondering why will they have access to my account despite my ATM card and my pin has changed. Please what can I do to avoid this deduction...I want to pay for the loan but I don't like this direct deduction.
Someone should help me

Stop using the account. Or any account linked to your BVN.
