Yep price controls by another name.

Food scarcity loading...

Why are you so negative?

Why don't you like good things for your country?

Na witchcraft be this o.

Asswipemod:
You don't know this people. Their prayers is for everything to fail and collapse so that they can have reasons to blame Tinubu and gloat at the SW. Anytime the government comes up with something good, they must make caustic remarks. All they want is for Hoebee, who came 3rd in the election be installed by force.

I have never seen such saboteurs as those Nigerians that hate themselves, hate where they come from, even animals love their kindred and fight for their territory...most Nigerians have lower IQ than domestic animals...only sabotage and talking tribalism and nepotism dem sabi.

onuman:
What planet do you live in this era of globalised markets?
You mean Nigeria government of Tinubu will use Market Boards to fix prices of locally manufactured food stuffs but the farmers will buy other manufactured products from local and abroad at the present astronomical prices? Never gonna happen.
Voodoo Ecomomist.

It's in our laws, these global this, global that, it is in our laws...do you know better than Falana and the judge that ordered FG to intervene?

If you don't understand things shut up, okpolo eye no be open eye.

Am telling you now, a judge ruled that FG should intervene because a citizen like you took them to court... people like you are online all day spreading sarcasm, mediocrity and ignorance, while serious people put FG to task. The law envisioned a non chalant political class, that's why provisions are there in the constitution to make them do their job!
Lukewarm people are spat out.
You people are mediocres, just sarcasms and jokes una sabi, dull people...we are talking our constitutional provisions you are talking nonsense. If all Nigerians were like you, the country would have been buried. Docile people.

You want the FG workers to just fold hands and be chopping money without working for Nigerians?

onuman:
Wow! Regulate the price of what you don't supply? Dead on arrival. This Tinubu was never prepared for the presidential position he campaigned for.

The laws have provisions for that, the nation has consumers protection board...they can regulate from whole sale/production level, and the reduction will trickle down. Don't be a lazy head... government can meet farmers board dialogue with them and instruct them against exploitative prices, government can meet manufacturing union, as well as major importers.

Do you people have FG there for nothing?

At least let them work for all the big money they chop.
Falana took FG to court on this issue, and the judge ordered FG to intervene, it's provisions are there in the constitution...this is why FG is intervening... Nigerians be wise, don't talk for talking sake, sarcasms or oversabi, this is not time for jokes, if you don't understand keep quiet, don't use your bad talk spoil things for the movement.

The law provides for consumers protection...it's very easy for an efficient government to achieve... don't conclude on things you don't understand.

Consumer protections board must be functional. There is a reason there is a federal government, federal government officials are not there to chop free money. Citizens must be protected otherwise private companies form caucus and place exploitative prices on goods. FG is not performing at all. Why do we have an economic minister, FG, if IMF dictates economic policies to us all the time. It's a shame.

Treadway:
engage with and enjoy the monsters YOU made.

Patriot ko, Parrot ni.


Clown

I don't engage with sworn enemies of the nation. Obi don't have the answer, Nigeria needs a leader that can take drastic measures...even next elections I can't support Obi, I don't support mediocres. So run off with your bigotry you and your sister are one and same... bigots mean nothing to me, am talking of patriots here not traitors. Obi had interviews he didn't mention solutions that could change Nigeria...he is just one of them.

hansomb:
Maybe without all those interventions the dollar to naira rate would have surpassed #2,000

Very myopic way to look at it. The question should be, why are we depending on the dollar in the first place.

Using IMF advice of floating the naira will be a disaster, because the naira, as it is can not compete with the dollar. Our dollar demand keeps getting higher as our imports volume increase by the day, more Nigerians are into dollar hoarding business, this also increase the value, due to scarcity, as more Nigerians go to school and treatment abroad we demand more dollars...naira has no chance.

The only way is dealing/trading with nations that will accept naira, at least if we cover only 50% of our imports with this arrangement of currency swap/receiving payments with local currency...naira value will quickly strengthen, because our national demand for dollars will drop. We can also start selling crude and gas in naira, so nations go look for naira, this will increase demand in naira, as they will come buy naira from us...It's all about demand and supply.

All these measures are like taking Panadol, when you need surgery.

Cut off the dollar manipulation of our economy by limiting the amount of dollars we demand by approaching China for currency swap deal, and join BRICS so we use naira for imports. No demand of dollars, no dollar scarcity, the rate comes down compared to naira. Sell crude and gas in naira, so nations go buy naira to pay for our gas and crude...this is how to strengthen your currency and economy...this is why America spends money like water, because nations are busy speculating, demanding and buying their currency, they can be very wealthy off that alone.

We need brave visionary leaders like South African president. He quietly removed his country from the chains of dollar economic enslavement and joined BRICS, South Africa is already far better than they were a few years ago, they have surpassed Nigeria once again as biggest economy in Africa. BRICS will make South Africa prosperous.

It's comical that a nation, with our economic team, minister for economy high flying technocrats, go to the job only to listen to the dictates of IMF

We must remove ourselves from this economic enslavement perpetuated by IMF. IMF just asked Nigerian government to further increase prices of electricity, they don't care if Nigerians die of hunger, seems like it's a deliberate plan to sabotage our economy to make us weak.

IMF have never corrected UK against giving welfare to it's people, America subsidize food, pay it's citizens social security money, subsidize healthcare, education and financing for it's people, likewise UK...but Nigerians get nothing from the government, yet IMF want the people strangulated.

Father4all:
those countries you mentioned. Are they living well?

Living better than Northerners in Nigeria, no bokoharam, no Iswap, no dollar induced poverty, no almajiri. Next time think before you post. Google those countries and see their quality of life.

I wonder why Nigerians are not engaging on this thread...seems we don't have patriots anymore... everyone wants to hide dollars, hoard it so it gets scarce, then bring out their dollars to sell for a profit. Saboteurs. It's a weak mind, why are we different from citizens of other nations, why do we hate the place we are from so much?

Something is really wrong in our psyche, this lazy, quick rich syndrome of greed has eaten deep.

Patojargz:
Bam!!! Dem believe say dem dey protected and e nor really concern dem whereas na we d masses dey face am hot hot

Exactly, I see no reason why the Southern states can not have a high stake security meeting and all of them agree to ban open grazing in Southern Nigeria, with stiff laws, and starting up a Southern security network to cover all the bushes in the South of Nigeria and the highways. Internal vigilante of states can secure inside states.

Adakintroy:
And in ur mind they have not been tackling insecurity ? You you do not see advance wars in other nations. Or you don't know everyone one has its challenge. A religiouse behavior they have been acting for centuries you come with ur stupid disrespectfully nature to replace it. Go over there and make stop them since you are so forcefully.

Stupid disrespectfully cunt .

Save your North first, forget frivolities of chasing around kids expressing themselves...you are just being a tool of Arab subjugation and oppression of women and humans.

a4cube:
You have said it all " you have selfish leaders". Moreover you think BRICS will accept Nigeria at this battered state? Brics are not looking for liability man.

Nigeria is not a liability, we have cash crops, we have food crops, we have a huge market...most important of all, that is why you see IMF, and all those American envoys trooping in here, we have the market, and market is king.

Patojargz:
Well said my brr! Who wan give dem d orientation bayi

All people from Southern Nigeria must push for our Parliament to enact laws, baning fulanis from having titles in the South, ban open grazing, ban Sharia in Southern Nigeria, as a free people, our people must be free.

a4cube:
As if its that easy.

Are you a slave?
Is Nigeria not a sovereign country?
Nothing can happen, stop accepting neocolonialism.

People like you change things...it's easy, it's about political will, South Africa and all the nations on BRICS did it. We have selfish leaders that's why they won't do it.

Adakintroy:
You just appealing to sentiments not reason. You too weak to have a strong conversation with. Go back to ur duty.

Religion makes one a zombie...if you get sense, you will know that North have far serious problems than trying to force people like domestic animals to live by your wish.

Tackle terrorism, tackle almajiri, tackle bandits that have killed thousands...but the way you people rise like zombies over nonsense issues, just shows you just want to control human beings like you... which is a barbaric way of life.

Redoil:
"It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them."

I request everyone, please show respect and mercy to others. be kind and generous. spread love and care to everyone.

People can not show mercy when the economy is not moving forward, this is economic discussion here.

Adakintroy:
Oga all religion or culture keep women in check or arrest them. Depend on how ur context arrest. even among the rational people in formal offices. Women are not allowed to dress in certain manners to work. if the most educated people can terminated there appointments. Which is a form of arrest(punishment). What's is ur point.

It's is universal to regular women across time and space. They lack accountability..someone has to do it for them or ...they over sexuallize things till it goes to ruins

You are far gone...lost soul.

Go and keep bandits in check, keep terrorists in check, a woman is a free being, you can only keep your daughter in check...lazy people na women body una dey shine. Let the women breathe, all those hijab for this heat, una bad. The worst thing is that these are Arabic culture forced upon you by conquest. Wake up to the new world of freedom, nothing you or your Arabic masters can do about it.

Southern Nigeria must start making laws, so your almajiris are removed from the South and sent back to the North. We can not bear the consequences of your actions.

This is the only way, any other way is beating round the bush. Nigerians will keep speculating in dollars because it's profitable to do so, most are even burying dollars in their houses, hoping it increases in value. Cut us off from dependency on dollars. We can get everything we need as a nation in an economy quartet of 7/8 nations, and agree to pay each other in local currencies.

Mr President it has became clear now, that bearing in mind our imports volume increment day after day, due to population growth and reliance on importation for most of what we consume...It is clear that this naira depreciation won't end until you remove Nigeria from this dollar centred international economic/trade model, propagated by the West and IMF, a neo colonization tactics created to keep the dollar on top, by making it the international trading currency.

It's common sense, anything you demand, the value goes up...why can't Nigeria start selling crude and gas in Naira?

This will create a demand for naira, and this will definitely help in the stabilization of it's value against the dollar.

Note: The dollar is only an issue because as of now, all the nations we buy from, we pay in dollars, if we can have a brave president, that will meet China, do the currency swap agreement, join BRICS or form similar trade organization, pay each other in local currencies.

Nothing is stopping us from achieving this now, South Africa showed us that is can be done, when they joined BRICS.

South Africa president made himself a hero by removing South Africa from this dollar domination structure of international payments, by joining BRICS.

BRICS nations pay each other for goods and services in their local currencies and get most of what they need from each other.

President Tinubu please join BRICS or partner with nations that can receive naira, while we receive their local currencies, on goods we buy from each other, this will solve the dollar problem. We are not a slave of America or IMF, we are free to navigate and get better deal for Nigerians. One of the reasons I supported your government is due to your NADECO history, I always knew we need a president with an activist stint, who knows his job is for the people and is prepared to step on toes, to make sure he deliver to the people, please do not let partisan politicking make you forget the sacred creed of activism, the higher calling...of sacrifice, ensuring justice for the poor and oppressed, equity, progres for nation and it's people, prosperity and justice for all.

Africa can not afford puppets leaders in 2024, when people are talking of creating homes in the moon, we must stand and say enough is enough to the West, IMF and their allies, take charge of our economy and destiny.

The federal government should work on real issues, not normal daily bureaucracy and routine, break the chain of neocolonialism, it is not a must that we must import using dollar, no international law forces us to stick with IMF or US dollar.

Sir Femi Falana said this in a recent interview, am using nairaland to buttress it, save Nigeria from this dollar domination or it will destroy Nigeria.

We are wasting too much sweat, value, resources, for a few dollars, because we accept dollar as our trading currency, a dollar which we can not determine it's supply.

If you people who are leaders can not see this is the problem, then why are we spending so much keeping you people there?

It's sad, so so sad...Southafricans and the world laughing at us, because we can't provide common electricity, but our political office holders are the most paid, with the highest allowance, perks, our political office holders are the richest in Africa, but what services are the politicians rendering for all these expenditure incurred by the nation?

Join BRICS or find trade partners that will trade with each other in local currencies, this will automatically solve dollar issues, because most of the dollars we use, are those used to pay for imported goods.

Adakintroy:
What's is there to study.?

Something that has maintain a reasonable stable social order for centuries. You want us to study.you all lack respect that's ur problem. What is ur alternative to what we have. Wishful notions that we all can just somehow be rational in a scientific sense.

Learn about your fore fathers before Usman Dan fodio came through with his Fulani invaders

My point is, you are African first...don't allow Arabic laws, ways indoctrinate you from reality and truth. In Africa we are a free people, it's archaic to arrest a girl just expressing herself.

Those hisbah guys should go fight bokoharam causing mayhem in North, they should train those almajiri coming to South to beg, so they stop constituting nuisance and criminality. It's a low IQ, weak minded person that will leave important issues and be chasing frivolities.

I definitely think a man with gun attacking people is a serious problem, almajiris being raised without skills or training is a serious security threat.

Tell me, how is a girl expressing herself a problem to you or northern Nigeria?

IMF is taunting us now.
Mr President, join BRICS, IMF has no right to be meddling in our nation affairs, when they know our reliance on dollar for imports brought us to this mess. Shun dollar, join BRICS, South Africa will bring us in, or we can form our trade organization with trade partners and pay each other with local currency...what is so special about European imports, that we can't get elsewhere?

Nothing is special, most of the goods we need are in Africa and Asia.

Adakintroy:
Abeg go sit down.

Social Nature regulates his own balance. One half of the world let's them run loose and unchecked. The other half keep them check regulated. You don't like it go to the side the you want. Nature has opened a democratic s channel. It not about ur preference. If all things follow ur dictates it would be tyranny

Open your eyes, this religion you follow study the history well.

Patojargz:
Muslim and their matters!!! E nor really concern us cos na their way of life... If i talk now e go b like i dey condemn their religion. Normally na casted religion!!! Always implementing crazy laws...

Southern states should implement laws to ensure and protect our ways and freedoms...we must have laws banning Sharia, hisbah in any part of the south. We must have laws banning almajiri from entering the south, due to the security threats. We must fence off the South with our laws, protect our values and freedom...after all, before Nigeria we existed as different people.

This is a very serious offense, and witnesses have appeared in court. This is a litmus test on the Tinubu's administration fight against corruption. Let's see the sincerity of the federal government.

Belial06:
I am telling you. What sort of madness is this !!!

Nigeria should be divided!!! How can you have two laws two constitution in one nation?!!!

This country is failed and the useless Tinubu won't do anything because his hands are not clean so he dare no act against these people

It's absurd...but I think rather than complain, Southern states should have laws against almajiri in the South, against fulani herdsmen encroachment in farmlands, against fulanis giving themselves titles in the South, and against operating any form of hisbah or Sharia in Southern Nigeria. I think Southern governors are not being proactive, while the Northern governors sponsored by the Fulani emirates are using laws to gain grounds in the North.

Don't complain, act.

ObidenceNeckpre:
u are omo ofo .eleribu omo osan

You sound like a religious extremists.

This girl is not your problem, bokoharam, Iswap, ISIS, and Fulani bandits and terrorists are your problems, the hisbah men are better off more useful fighting these terrorists...or training the almajiri youths with skills... almajiris are future docile recruits of bandits.

Adakintroy:
If them no checkmate them. Na you go still come here come shout 304 and body counts

Lame.

Tallesty1:
So, what will they be charged with?

Having sex when not fully unclothed?

Having sex when the nation is mourning Access CEO and AFCON loss?

Having sex without local government permit?

Or what?

It's just like being caught having sex in a car...this is even worse, because the church is a sacred private place...

In a free country, hisbah should not be allowed to infringe on citizens freedoms.

Can hisbah operate in Ghana, or even Tanzania?

Nigeria has no strong FG, a strong FG must protect the citizens, ensure their freedoms and safety, of their lives and Properties...I don't know why FG is not effective in fighting for citizens rights.

We allow religious sect, societies, and mere men determine how we live, it's a shame. Freedom is sacrosanct. In a civilized nation, the laws of the country and state determine how people live, not religious laws, carved by men who always have selfish sinister interests.
