I have seen it. I think a test run should be rolled out in on coming elections.

Saw a topic Tribunal sacks Gombe House speaker. I said to myself Tinubu does not have that power. Then I looked at it properly and it was tribunal.

Same thing happened with d Kano Tribunal, I thought for a moment it was Tinubu.

Y can’t we vote with our phone. Even if you have 10 numbers y, can’t one be accredited and use to vote.

Chinjo2:
Edo already has two modular refineries awaiting Federal Government approval to commence production of PMS

Looks like someone is trying to protect Dangote’s investment.

Prudency045:
$1 million dollars you say?? Dey play, just dey play.

FG granted modular refinery licenses to a number of companies. Funding has been a major challenge for many of them.

Only a few who got the licenses then are now operational. The likes of Walter Smith, NDPR etc

How come petrol is still expensive, moreover because a barrel is $97.00 does not mean local companies should be buying it at that price because they are not exporting it, they can buy a barrel in Naira, maybe 30,000.00 per barrel.

Another idioooot that swapped a lot of Naira to dollar and ran away from Nigeria. Why won’t our currency lose value when u have idioooooots like this guy.

Oil price is now $97.00 per barrel, if our currency was tied to a barrel of oil our currency would have appreciated today. Imagine changing 1Naira = $4.00. We would be living like prince & princess.

Nigeria should be minting money and selling our petrol & diesel very cheap. Give a lot of people license to start modular refineries, I understand it would cost only $1 million dollars.

Very many Nigerians can afford this, so what are waiting for?

Abeg what is all this noise monad! Na who tell am make dey smoke Igbo with them Naira Marley.

sunboy:
Nope that doesn’t justify the fact that US managed to remain a dominant currency despite not being backed by any commodity. The real reason we don’t have to start talking about it else we will derail this topic.

No one is comparing themselves with d US. Is like saying Nigeria is bigger than Africa as a whole meanwhile US bigger than d whole Africa.
If it comes to every single item, education, technology, wealth, creation of wealth, u just name. Nigerian needs a stable currency so people can invest here just as people invest in d US.

They all do it. Santana Olu made Bihari cut d tape of d blue line yet d blooooody train is been powered by a diesel engine. Who do us like , 419 plenty for our country.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Heard of BRICs?

Go and read why it was set up.

Your follow up statements on Japan and China artificially suppressing their currencies does not follow the original argument I was making on the ongoing Ponzi scam being perpetuated on the world by Jewish banksters in the west.

The bottom line is tying our currency to our oil is just to stabilise it rather than it swinging from 120 to 1 in 2003 to nearly 920 to 1 in 2023.

Crude oil has been relatively stable.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
The US is the biggest economy in terms of consumption and not production.

America is able to consume without producing courtesy of the dollar hegemony which isn't backed by anything but printed from thin air and forced on the world to accept .

America is running a debt based economy that will never be redeemed.

It's a scam that occured after WW2 and perfected after Nixon took the US off the Gold standard.

America is the problem .

Even if you print your money from thin air, once u have d biggest economy, the largest concentration of millionaire anywhere in d world are in the U.S That is purchasing power their. Every producer around d world would want to sell to that economy because they no they have d buying power. Hence y Japan for years never want their currency to appreciate. Same thing China of recent.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
There is no money left.

All our oil reserves is in lien to service the humongous loans Buhari and his thieving cabal stole.

Jewish banksters used debt to colonise again courtesy of the greed and stupidity of the last adminstration.

Are you saying they sold the untapped crude already.

sunboy:
Hmmmm… you back your currency against crude, what happens when the price of crude drops? And remember you do not single handedly control the crude price.

That being said, the US dollar is not backed by any commodity but only backed by the paper note and interest rate. God bless America, yet US remains the dominant currency even for those currencies that are backed by Gold.

The US is the biggest economy in world hence that is y. Half all luxurious goods ever produced ends up in d US.

rolams:
That's why it can't work. Currency is often backed by scarce resources with less deflation risk.

Your currency can't be stabilised through over dependent on importation. Focus more is finished goods you can export and produce nearly all essential goods for consumption locally and see how things turn around.

Brent crude is now$90.00 per barrel. Our currency has gone up again.

Rich4god:
People have to continue leaving. A lot of Nigerians live by the day. If they don't go out and hustle that day, they won't eat. So u can't blame them.

I suppose so. It is a 50-50, if she did not get kidnapped Alloweeeee- would be waiting for her.

Nigerians resultant people. How do you explain poor youth corner travelling from Uyo to Zamfara and fear no catch am. She eventually got kidnapped. Yoruba would say b4 nko !!! U no no say dey go kidnap you.

That is y I say our people are resilient. Go to any motor park u would see people boarding buses to sokoto Zamfara minna etc

Rich4god:
So if we have men in position who aren't doing what they are supposed to do, they should just remain there enjoying salary without working abi.

Were they not employed to secure the country in the first place.

All you can do is keep asking them if they lack any equipment to carry out their jobs and hope for the best. U can they are buying 2 Planes for the Air Force to monitor our coast against oil theives.

Rich4god:
I just wish president tinubu will sack all the officers of our security. Like maybe in the police now, he should just sack all the officers from CP and above. Am fully sure more than 75% of them have been compromised.

Forgive my ignorance, but since those senior rankers in the police aren't combatants, I believe Amy serious civilian with strategic thinking and planning will be able to shape the police in order.

No government would throw people’s father, husbands.and bread winners out of job. Why do you think Buhari could not sack service chiefs for a long time. Not with the 1985 coup experience.

Even if you have Obi or Atiku ad President, our security officer’s have become lazy and it is only God that can help us.

Rich4god:
No where is safe truly, but the type of things that happens in Nigeria can't happen in "abroad".... Do you know that there are some people who are still in captivity for more than two years. If it's in abroad, they are ready to shut down the whole state and all the security forces will put hands together to fish out the criminals, even if it means to comb the whole state to find them.

It can’t happen in many African countries. Forget abroad.

The armed forces and police when they change their heads the new ones would do gra-gra for one week and enter their shells b4 u know it.

I can remember when d president appointed the new IGP he said I feel like a lion, so where is the toothless lion today.

ibechris:
That Lokoja axis is the most dangerous area in the north.

That axis has been bad since 2007. I remember going to Abuja for the first time in my life by road. Some guys were pointing to our tyre. I told d driver looks like we got a flat, but d driver did not wait immediately, he waited about 2 km away. We got down looked around the car no flat. It was then high way patrol came to meet us, they told to move on that those pointing are armed robbers.

That was 2007 how much now when bandits are everywhere.

The SW one can be in a new location in Badagry as Lagos Island is too congested to be a retreat.

The American President goes to Camp David to retreat.

The UK prime Minister goes to the Chequers


And Putin goes to his Duma Russian retreat. Where does Nigeria president go and retreat no where, no wonder the Governor’s went to Kigali the other day.

They should put it in the constitution that the president conduct the business of the state for 2 months in all 6 presidential retreats through out a 4 year period. And if he gets elected a second term he/ she do the same in his second term too.

SW Retreat - Lagos, the state house in Marina

NE- They should build a new one on the shores of Lake Chad. With the president residing in Borno for 2 months there would be no insurgency.

NW - Kajure Castle in Kaduna State, should developed to presidential standards.

NC - A new Presidential palace to built at Mt Patti Lokoja, in any case Lokoja was once our capital.

SE- A presidential palace to built on the River Niger in Ontsha

SS - A Presidential beach home in Eket, Akwa Ibom State


This way a Nigerian president can be said to be close to his people anytime he goes on his retreats. Instead of staying in Abuja all through.

What do u think Guys.

iammo:
DSS facility isn't just a box.... Even Nnamdi Kanu has access to Premier league matches supporting Liverpool, they eat what they like

El zakzaky was enjoying DSS that he refused to get transferred to Kuje Prison

U sure, picture please. Are u telling me dss facility don become hotel. That is a lie. Nigeria that has no maintenance culture.

She dey count am, she sure it is not 398 times

Can you imagine having billions in your account and being locked in a box room 24 hours of day. That is torture.

So my people u are not suffering, just ask Emefiele.

SaintNegro77:
You think those greedy fools(ie Nigeria politicians) will allow Nigeria to work. They are all after their pockets. As far as we elect fools and greedy lots, Nigeria's economy can never be better.

Then we must siddon for our country. No point feeling bad Dubai no gree give us visa. At this rate Ghana would say we should get visa b4 we come to their country.

We should not be bothered by the UAE doing a turn around. No country wants liability of hungry people running to their country. Once we fix our economy every country in the world would open their border.

Your country must be a country flowing with milk and honey and I don’t see y Nigeria cannot be so.

With Arable land from Lagos to Maiduguri and Another one from Calabar to Sokoto, I can’t see y we cannot feed ourselves and be the number 1 country of the world. If China can do it, we too can do it.

So let us get to work fixing the economy.
