That's bad

If you didn't help this business man to subsidize his purchases and expenses, if you didn't give him the capital to set up or to operate, you have no rights to force him to sell at a particular price.

But this will always backfire, as more owners lock up or transfer their goods, or go underground, the goods will enter black market, and everyone who really needs it will pay triple the cost, at the point of death.

Buharri tried that in 1984, someone should please remind me how that matter ended?

Allow free market economy to dictate prices.

The law provides for government to clamp down on people exploiting the citizens with exorbitant prices.

Are you on the side of the crooks or the people?

Consumer protections act. No situation can be worse than what we are facing now, if you and them like, close down your business, it won't affect Nigeria.

If we can not live fairly with one another, in equity and justice, them it's best the nation is divided between North and south.

The situation where northerners release terrorists, because they are their Muslim brothers, and those terrorists will come to Kwara, Ondo and kill people is unacceptable.

Stop the release of terrorists, it encourages the young ones to go into terrorism. A state governor should not be able to release terrorists...where is the attorney general of the federation and president. A state governor might have selfish sinister interests, we should not allow state governors jeopardize our national security because of their sinister selfish interest. These terrorists move from north to South, it is very wrong to allow one man wake up one day and release terrorists, terrorists should serve their punishment, like every other criminals.

God bless u, if NIN can get to us. y can't this get to us. do we even have business importing fuels before. why the past president and those senators and rep, state gov failed to build refineries. they should tackle the problem one after the other. Nigeria should get refineries working, iron steel companies working, generate and distribute electricity. those in the north can use wind energy, solar, those with water should go for hydro. once we failed to do this. Nigeria can't be better. we will continue to blame new president, former president will always be better than new president

Please keep speaking out, you are brilliant and blessed, you are a patriot. We objective people should not leave the online space to sycophants, enemies of the nation and clueless kids, we must keep pushing the real issues to the front burner, giving solutions. I hope political office appointees are online, please take good constructive advice...if you political appointees fail to listen to the advice from concerned intellectual citizens, then we all will bear the brunt of the ignorant angry mob, when situation escalates.

We know you and your family are shitty, you didn't have to bring that to the internet.

Let me indulge you mr big IQ , if you have to marry between a woman with big nyansh and big breast even fine face but no sense and another one with same or more endowment but great intelligence, whom would you choose? Based on precedence, I already know your answer here.

Venezuela has the highest crude oil deposit in the world but no serious country cares about them even though they are in the south of America because of bad leaders.

Nigeria has this, Nigeria has that, then why is it the poverty capital of the world?

Whatever resource you think Nigeria has is inconsequential to what other countries with quality leaders and more resources have to offer.

I'm going to sleep, wake me up when BRICS accept Nigeria.

"Bola, on your mandate we shall stand"

Little brained rat.

Karleb:
With your gigantic IQ, you supported the failure Tinubu and hoped for a miracle when other did the pratical work of opposing him.


Mr. Big IQ, did you think Tinubu will read your open letter or BRICS will ever allow a shitty country like Nigeria join them? If your answers are yes, well...

...maybe you are not so smart afterall.

Yoruba alainironu.

Nigeria is not shitty, you and your family are pieces of shit. We are different people don't think every Nigerian is living a shitty life as you.

Even a primary school kid knows in international trade what matters is interest, Nigeria have crude, we have cash and food crops, and a lot of natural resources, both mineral and solid, to offer, this is what nations need, they are not coming to live here, they are trading with us. Nigeria being shitty has nothing to do with it trading with partners.

Like I said, get a little education, and stop being an online miscreant with your block head...all the things you stated, no single sense... typical of a low IQ individual.

Without subsidy Nigerians will take to the streets... government must be intelligent enough to ensure subsidized petrol gets to Nigerians, the present way of doing this subsidy system is weak. Government should create fuel subsidy debit cards, share to Nigerians through banks, this card will allow the holder get subsidized fuel...at least the banks can be regulated, unlike the weak system of giving money to marketers.

Government should think and create solutions, we pay you elected officials way too much, to not think and proffer brilliant solutions.

Subsidy is not bad, do not throw away the baby and the bathwater, remove the fraud in subsidy and continue it. This is the only way government gives back to citizens.

Without subsidy the informal sector that feeds and supports over N200million Nigerians will dry out, no disposable income to spend after spending money on necessities like fuel, food, this means no investment, low demand, less employment and empowerment, poverty for the greater number, which leads to a vicious circle.

Or is the money and revenue of the nation for politicians alone?

Nigerian press too are not objective, this Day seem like they are partisan, allied to PDP, some of their propaganda is anti people.

We have weak laws, stop warning, take legal and constitutional actions against him.

BigBashiru:
Nigeria worship dollar due to deeply ingrained colonial brainwashing, colonial mentality and inferiority complex. This is why Nigeria let's western Europe extract crude oil via their corporations send to Europe for refining. When will the black man hv sense

You are absolutely right bro, God bless you.

Karleb:
Why you no mention your tribe now. Are you not proud of it again?

I didn't come to nairaland to engage people with the IQ of domestic animals... people like you are my servants in real life. Go get a little education and orientation it will help your small life.

BigBashiru:
Defeatist mentality. There are plenty African countries that will buy in naira. Middle Eastern partners will as well. It's the European savages seeking to preserve their hegemony that will insist on their currency

No mind the brainless weak kids, they just come out and talk nonsense, most of them are enemies within, they hate the land they are from and want it to run aground either that or they are very dull, and just say whatever comes to their empty skulls. We must keep pushing the right narrative and teach these kids. Nice one brother.

Countries in BRICS are trading in their local currencies and the clown is in his small room suggesting what he knows nothing about.

Why won't people buy in naira when naira is more cheaper to buy than naira?

Nairaland politics need to have an IQ test button.

onatisi:
nobody will buy Naija oil in naira, oil is in abundance worldwide, and many countries are even boycotting naija oil . so we have to make trading easy for our buyers and that is in dollars. lets wait and see what BRICS will do in a couple of months.

Let the market judge, it's all about needs and pricing, you are just one keypad jobless kid typing on his phone, you don't know what people will do. It's funny how people of low IQ jump to conclusions on issues concerning the world, from their small one room apartments.

Why won't people buy in naira when it's cheaper than dollars?

Do you know Nigeria crude quality is among the best in the world, the Brent crude, this quality is irresistible that is why till today people rush our crude.

In trade, it's all about quality, efficiency and pricing... people don't worship dollar like Nigerians do, dollar is not gold or treasure, it's just a currency. You made no point...give me two reasons why people won't buy in naira?

Let me test to see if you know what this issue is all about...

Tochi360:
And by serious minded people hope You are not regarding your zombish self as one?? Tinubu is a COLLOSAL FAILURE is it is,not his govt dulling.

If You are not zombing away common sense in ignorance You would sure know that APC is a MAXIMUM CALAMITY,their own no pass to win elections at all cost.

Complainers are useless to the nation, the nation move forward with the help of critical thinkers proffering solutions, not frustrated ranters and wailers.

Karleb:
If we ask you your tribe now, e fit be the tribe wey call their sons and daughters bastards because they didn't want APC and Tinubu.

You must be frustrated and have an IQ of a dog. Go look for food and eat little puppy dog.

bnanny:
Good point from you, but the government you're even trying to suggest this to are not interested in ditching dollar for naira. They'll tell you oil trade in international trade that's why they won't change to naira.
This is what port authorities just did. They're only accepting dollars here in Nigeria.

As a sovereign nation, we can make policies for the good of the nation and it's people. Nigerian government must be sincere, put aside selfish sentiments and interests and make moves to strengthen naira.

It's all about laws of demand and supply and balance of trade, when it comes to forex markets and international trade. The more people and nations demand your currency, the higher it's value goes, and the more you export the more your balance of trade gets positive, all these leads to high value of the currency. We pay our political office holders way too much to go to office to pursue selfish interests, and to please America. We are a sovereign nation we are not slaves of America and dollar. South Africa quietly moved to BRICS...when last did you hear of them complaining of currency crises. The people need to protest, and demand government work for us...marches and protests by the people, this inefficiency of the government should not be tolerated, they are well paid and taken care of, the least they can do is work for the people...and they are not working till our currency value strengthens, so we see value in cash we spend.

KayyDee:
It's simple.

This will most likely serve to lower Investors confidence.

The situation Nigeria is in now can lead to uprising or total grounding of our economy.

If Nigeria goes into a comatose and people can not demand anymore, our bouyant market dies, this will definitely make investors run, no serious investor will leave because of policy on remittances, they will only leave when the market is no more here, or when there is insecurity and uprisings triggered by high costs of living due to dollar scarcity.

How does foreign investors benefit you directly?
But dollar rate increases has led to hyper cost pull inflation, affecting every single Nigeria negatively.

Are you in favor of the overpricing of the dollar?

Nigerians if you don't have something useful to say shut up, you people are sounding like enemies of your own country. Let the investors complain, not you. CBN is doing this to reduce dollar scarcity...make una get sense o, stop supporting nonsense.

Good move, all these things companies do here in terms of remittances, they can't do it in UK or America.

Let's start selling our crude and gas in Naira, this will strengthen naira, when people start demanding it to make payments in international trade.

Falana gave this advice and it makes sense.

Dollar problem bringing our nation to it's knees. We must remove dollar monopoly from our imports system, and sell our crude and gas in naira, this will strengthen naira.

pargelenis:
No problem, come back when you can find either a tweet, speech or interview where Trump has criticized or spoken against his daddy Pootin … (don’t worry if you cannot find it).
Usage of the MOAB was not such a big deal … Daesh was already decimated by 2017.

Trash talking is for kids and mediocres, Trump is an action man... infact the less you talk about people and just act, the more you are feared, that is part of unpredictability.

Tochi360:
No Tinubu's govt is not dulling,His govt is a COLLOSAL FAILURE

If you like wail and cry Obi from now till eternity nothing will change the reality that TINUBU IS A FULL SCALE CALAMITY.
Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba agrees that Tinubu is a MAXIMUM DISASTER.

You are just exposing ignorance here, stop being a sycophant, all these major politicians are same. Nobody is wailing, this is a discussion for serious minds not jokers.

Bebigiby1:
My submission is for all Nigerians to unite and push for a reset of our political system of governance…. No matter who is the president whether Obi, Atiku or any other politician…. No matter the political party in power as long as we continue to practice this current centralized democratic system government no genuine progress will be made…. Now is the time to restructure and decentralize our political system of governance before it is too late to salvage Nigeria’s economy….

You are right on this, the people must unite, form a united cause to demand and push for people centred policies, true federalism is a step towards a better nation.

Yes Tinubu government is dulling, but Obi don't need to be president to make changes, at least he can start from South East, where he was governor. But you are right, Nigeria is in big problem.

pargelenis:
Kindly show me a post or speech where dear Trump has criticized or ridiculed Putin.
ISIS was practically already done when Trump assumed office in January 2017.

It's not that deep, no need to argue on this ...but Trump is mean and very intelligent, Putin is scared of this, he doesn't need to trash talk Putin but when push comes to shove, Putin rather be dealing with a Biden than Trump.

Maybe you don't follow politics like I do, but it's general knowledge that Trump sent a very big bomb to ISIS gathering in an area close to Syria. Everyone knows who the action man is between trump and Biden.

BodyCount:
Trump na oloriburuku with gutter mouth. He doesn't deserve to ever have the opportunity again.

THE CURRENT GENOCIDE AND TERRORIST ACTS BY ISRAEL AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE WAS ENCOURAGED AND PROPAGATED BY TRUMP.

HE WAS THE ONE THAT ACKNOWLEDGED JERUSALEM THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF PALESTINIAN TERRITORY AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.

You expect him to support Palestine over Israel?

Any American president would do same.

pargelenis:
He’s not - he is just trolling … he clearly wants his puppet Trump in the White House next year.

You seem like you don't know who trump is... Putin is scared of Trump because he is unpredictable. Trump stopped China imports as president and forced them to pay extra tarrifs, Trump sent mother of all bombs that shook ISIS and got them scampering from a region close to Syria...Trump commanded the respect of North Korea's leader...if I was Putin I wouldn't want Trump either.

CelestineNelson:
Putin Stop lying there...Trump's Rapid Response to Nonsense leaves a man with no option than to consider peace ...hence the reason why you prefer a sleeping lion to a roaring lion looking for who to devour 🤣😂😅😅...Putin fans come and carry you uncle from here..he's caught red-handed in his fears

Apt
Trump no get joy.

Trump na problem man na

Zxcvbnmghtr:
It is called PRIVILEGE. Some of us are more privilege than others. It's a reality of life.

That is not what public service is about...only in Nigeria these absurd things seem normal...you don't use government public office and service for previledges.

You lawmakers what do you use constituency allowances for?

You lawmakers are black as kettle, calling the pot black...how much do you earn a month, how much is minimum wage?

Rep members should focus on removing Nigeria from dollar enslavement not these frivolities. Lazy people

Judolisco:
number 1 is d major cause in urban regions like lagos... There is a phenomenon called "urban heat island" buildings and infrastructure traps heat in the day time and releases it in d Night.... In lagos u feel heat even when the sun isn't out... Most lagosians are already used to it... But if you are new in lagos, you'll knw dat d temperature isn't normal... It's due to overpopulation and infrastructure

Trees can help, they trap heat and release cool air.

You are right, local government and state governments should create green areas, plant trees. Fashola was planting trees as governor, but clueless people were laughing, they don't know trees is directly linked to their health and long life.

We need conservation centers in city centres, parks where lots of trees and flora is conserved, for cool clean air.

Trees inhale carbon monoxide and exhale oxygen!
