You are correct. The write up is a made up history. It makes no sense.

And oil was at $110 and above.

And we had enough forex flowing in as a result.

And we could afford to let in lots of foriegn investors because they could remit their money home easily (With so much flowing in CBN did not need to do restriction stuff).

By the way....in 1978....N1=$1

Then we were
No 1 in palm oil
No 2 in cocoa
Top5 groundnut producer
Top 5 cotton producer
Top 5 beninseed producer
Top 5 tin and comlumbite producer
Modest exporter of gold. (oh yes!)
Enjoying an oil boom.
Manufacturing things like biscuit, batteries, cars, tyres, etc at home.

If we want to get back there....either we

1.Become productive, which most Nigerians do not like because we like oyinbo and chinese stuff.

2.Allow naira to float...which most Nigerians do not like because we are so fixiated on a strong currency (with nothing to export).

3.Fast and pray that oil goes back to $100 and above (in our dreams).

4.Take a loan to improve power, rail, road and education as a matter of interest. (Hey, South Korea did it in the 1960's).

5.Start buying Nigerian

6.Cut all subsides, and raise taxes, power bills, etc (which most Nigerians do not like because we think that we should pay N10 per liter for fuel, and N100 per semester as university fees).

You want a strong currency.....then work for it. Be prepared for more hardship. Stop waiting for oil. Start producing. Improve your education. Read Field Ruwe everyday.

Yes...all of you asking Buhari to return our currency back to where it was...by the time you realise how tough a road that is going to be...you will keep quiet and beg him to keep pumping dollars. Well...the dollars are not enough.

Time we got some work done.

Rant over.
