ADSP116:God Bless you my brother, I know we cannot all be foolish. The government thinks they can deceive 300 million Nigerians. |
uba1991:I AGREE without, its the governments responsibility. I dont think its the CBN's Governors fault. Round tripping aka Subsidized dollars has now stopped. None of the previous government could stop that !! Only a few people benefitted. |
EponObi:In sept 2020 1USDollars = 121 Haitian Gourde. Today 1 USDollars= 131 Haitian Gourde Mind you haitian is a 3rd world country, insecurity, kidnappings, cut off from the rest of the world by oppressors, devatsted by hurricanes and earthquakes. In sept 2020 1 USDollars= 149 yemeni rial. Today 1 USDollars =150 Yemeni rial. Yemen is also a poor third world country, they are currently being bombed by US coalition forces, they were in a war with saudi for over 10 years. Afghanistan 2020 1usd= 75 Afghani Today 1 usd= 73 Afghani Bangladeshi 2020 1usd= 89 bangladeshi taka today 1 Usd= 108 bangladeshi taka. I can go on and on. The government is deceiving Nigerians, by attributing it to lack of production alone, Theft and looting is the main reason Nigeria's currency is getting devalued daily. |
EponObi:Well said, However i travel to over 30 countries on a regular basis, i can name a lot of countries which in the last 7 years, the currency against the dollar barely changes in 7 years ! And they dont have oil and also import a lot of what they use, We are all pretending not see the mismanagement of funds by these politicians from Tinubu downwards, most of these guys have more than their salaries can afford. They do not own businesses or inherited these wealth. The subsidy was removed to loot the funds......Until corruption is addressed truthfully. Subsidy or no subsidy will not make a difference. Thats my opinion. |
2 Billion dollars Borrow and loot cruise control. Auto-pilot. |
There is more to this naira devaluation than meets the Eye. Why do i feel some people are counterfeiting the naira. Because no one can really explain why there is an infinite amount of Naira in circulation. Even if the naira was free floating by now it should have reached an equilibrium. It should have pegged itself. The only reason why the naira can be dropping till infinity is if the production is unlimited, because salary has not even been increased yet. Only thing that could account for daily devaluation is if someone other than the CBN is printing naira. Counterfeiters ? To be realistic, no amount of salary increments can resolve this. This is very serious, the government has to act now........There are so many African countries, who do not even produce crude oil or subsidize forex but their local currency is stable. The government should declare a state of emergency right away, this currency devaluation is getting out of control. |
We had subsidy for over 50 years. The year Dangote built a refinery, subsidy was removed. Dey Play |
Way forward ? |
ExudeLoveToAll:I agree with you, the naira is coming out of somewhere that the government doesn't have control over ? It feels like some people have bullion vans of naira in vaults at home, that they keeping changing to dollars. The whole point of floating the naira is to find a balance, if the minting of naira has been compromised, the naira can fall too 1$ to 10,000naira. The government should act now, if not this is going to be a disaster. I believe some people are hiding billions in naira at home and are changing it to dollars easily in the black market. |
nurey:With so many countries that developed with oil we are heading for doom. |
nurey:The rate at which things are going. The fuel subsidy has to be reintroduced or else they have to start food subsidy. The only other solution is to export crude oil agreed quotas and then sell subsidized crude oil to dangote refinery with an agreement to sell subsidized petrol to Nigerian government in return for the subsidized crude oil allocation. |
All of Tinubu policies so far looks like his is trying to eliminate the poor and middle class Nigerians. He is implemented policies with dire austerity consequences with no iota of empathy for Nigerians already living below poverty line. For the first time in history instead of attacking the looters, corrupt politicians directly, he has decided to cast a net so wide that innocent poor Nigerians are suffering and dying due to poor socioeconomic conditions. Fuel subsidy should have been transferred to food subsidy, while ramping up agricultural products local production. Removing fuel subsidy with no measure in place to subsidise the life of the poor and middle class is an idiotic move. The government is acting like we are trading democracy for hunger. Because even the military regime's policies were not this bad. |
The cost of running Nigeria's government is too expensive,compared to minimum wage. |
[b] Parliamentary System Pros: 1.Unity and Consensus: In a parliamentary system, the executive (the Prime Minister) is usually a member of the majority party in the parliament. This means that the government's agenda is more likely to align with the views of the majority of lawmakers, leading to smoother decision-making and greater unity. 2.Flexibility: If the Prime Minister loses the support of the parliament, they can be removed through a vote of no confidence, leading to a new government without the need for a full election. This allows for quicker responses to changing circumstances or public sentiment. 3.Accountability: The Prime Minister and cabinet ministers are directly accountable to the parliament, which means they must regularly answer questions and defend their actions. This helps ensure that government officials are held accountable for their decisions and actions. Cons: 1.Instability:Since the government's survival depends on maintaining the support of the parliament, frequent changes in government can occur if there is political instability or shifting alliances among political parties. This can lead to uncertainty and inconsistency in governance. 2. Dominance of Political Parties: In a parliamentary system, political parties have a lot of power, and smaller parties may struggle to have their voices heard. This could potentially lead to the interests of minority groups being overlooked. 3. Less Direct Representation:In some parliamentary systems, voters do not directly elect the Prime Minister, but rather vote for a political party. This means that the leader of the country may not necessarily reflect the preferences of all voters. Presidential System Pros: 1.Stability: The president serves a fixed term and cannot be easily removed from office outside of impeachment proceedings, providing more stability and continuity in leadership. 2.Direct Representation:In a presidential system, voters directly elect the president, which means that the leader of the country is directly accountable to the people. 3.Separation of Powers:The presidential system typically separates the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, which can help prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. Cons: 1. Gridlock:In a presidential system, if the president's party does not have a majority in the legislature, it can lead to gridlock and difficulty passing legislation, as the president and the legislature may have conflicting priorities. 2. Less Flexibility: Unlike in a parliamentary system, where the government can be easily replaced, removing a president from office outside of scheduled elections can be a lengthy and complex process, which may make it harder to address urgent issues. 3.Less Accountability:Since the president is not directly accountable to the legislature, there may be fewer mechanisms in place to hold them accountable for their actions, potentially leading to abuses of power.[/b] |

Tone Deaf Minister. Everybody is complaining about devalued naira. Buy Nigeria to boost the naira against dollars and other foreign currency. Wike is wearing Versace (Italian designer) from head to toe. Nigerian textile makers ? Unemployed. Nigerian tailors ? Unemployed. Aba shoemakers ? Unemployed. How are we going to boost our own production and economy ? How many Italian politicians wear kaftan ? wear Isiagu ? wear wrapper ? These are the things national orientation agency should enlighten people on, we should desist from all these colonial mentality. Wike, everyone knows you are rich from looting funds, because you have never owned a business or inherited wealth. But dont make a mockery of yourself and start going around like a versace billboard. It is juvenile and pathetic. |

The real change starts when salaries of politicians is reduced so that they can feel the pain of the common man. As long as we continue to pay politicians jumbo salary and pay the common man peanuts. We are deceiving ourselves. |
Rent a spokesman.

Very good These black money or ill gotten wealth is used to sponsor terrorism, kidnap and civil unrest. We have to go after all circulating ill-gotten money. |
If we do not address ill gotten wealth in Nigeria. Nothing will work The Chinese government takes a strong stance against corruption, and penalties can range from administrative punishments to severe legal consequences, including imprisonment and even the death penalty in extreme cases. |
Cheaper Exports: When the Naira is devalued, it becomes less valuable compared to other currencies. This makes Nigerian products cheaper for people in other countries. Think of it like selling your cool toy cars to friends abroad at a lower price. More exports mean more money flowing into Nigeria! Expensive Imports: On the flip side, devaluation makes foreign toys (imports) more expensive for you. Imagine your favorite video games suddenly costing more because they’re imported. This encourages people to buy local toys instead. Boosting Local Industries: When local toys (goods and services) become cheaper for foreigners, it helps Nigerian businesses grow. They can sell more, hire more people, and contribute to the economy. Tourism Advantage: Devaluation makes Nigeria an attractive travel destination. Foreign tourists find it cheaper to visit, explore, and spend money here. Imagine more tourists enjoying Nigerian culture, food, and music! Investment Inflow: Investors like to put their money where it grows. Devaluation encourages foreign investors to set up factories, offices, and businesses in Nigeria. This creates jobs and stimulates economic growth. Balance of Payments: Devaluation can improve Nigeria’s balance of payments. It’s like keeping track of how much money comes in (exports, investments) versus how much goes out (imports, debt payments). A positive balance is good! Inflation: Devaluation can lead to higher prices for everyday items (inflation). Imagine your pocket money buying fewer candies because prices went up. But controlled inflation can be healthy for the economy. Reducing Debt Burden: Nigeria owes money to other countries (national debt). Devaluation makes it easier to repay those loans because the Naira is worth less. It’s like paying back a smaller amount. Competitiveness: Devaluation makes Nigerian businesses compete better globally. Just like you try to win in video game tournaments, our economy competes with other countries. A cheaper Naira gives us an edge! Learning Opportunity: Finally, understanding devaluation teaches us about economics. It’s like leveling up in your favorite game. By knowing how money works, we can make smarter decisions for Nigeria’s future! |
Thats assault, caught on video. Get a good lawyer and sue him. |
There is too much presidential monopoly in the CBN. Its time to have a system similar to the federal reserve where each geopolitical zone have a vetoing representation in the apex bank. So that one person (CBN governor) is not hijacked by the cabal and made to do things that will potentially devalue the currency and put 300 million Nigerians into poverty. Because no matter what is put in place by this regime it can easily be sabotaged by the next regime and we are back where we started. That has been happening for the past 50 years. Everybody knows Emefiele is just the messenger, the main actors are still walking around freely enjoying the Loot. |
Questionnaires:They are not buying raw material in dollars. Naira is cheaper than it has ever been. So why is cement prices going up ?? |
IGP Kayode Egbetokun trust me Nigerians are not your problem. Once you are a public figure, there are associated risks. Coming to threaten 300 milion people with clamp down or clamp up is crazy. How many kidnappers do we have in Nigeria ? Did you clamp down on them. Kidnappers are kidnapping police officers, you are planning to clamp down on Nigerians for exercising their constitutional civic rights of self expression. |
Cement made with natural resources e.g Limestone and laterite, procured from Nigeria for free. Nigerian labour in the cement factories is one of the cheapest labor in the world, mostly temporary contractors, no health insurance, no pension plan workers. The cement business has strict monopolies, its not an open market anyone can join, less than 3 major marketers in Nigeria. BUT THE PRICE IS GOING UP.......LOL NA FELLOW NIGERIAN DEY DO US NIGERIANS. |
The New Femi Fani Kayode of our times A whole grown ass man. Political Olosho. We use to have gallant honorable men in Naija, who spoke the truth fearlessly to the authority, even in the days of Military dictators with guns and threats of death. |
Good long term policies have been set in place. However ameliorating short term policies needed right now. Devaluing the naira is actually a good measure, if inflation can be controlled. Raising wages might not be the solution as we will just be back where we started. Instead provide more jobs at the current rate of pay. Increase social welfare, support mega agricultural investments. Export crude to meet assigned OPEC quotas, then subsidize additional crude to Dangote refinery with the aim to sell cheaper petrol to Nigerians, which should be allocated and monitored against 3rd party sales and racketeering. Truth is some states are stronger than others. So purchasing powers might never favor some states at current prices....There is abject poverty in some nooks and crannies of Nigeria. Those people still need subsidy, regardless of what anyone says. Sanitizing the financial sector, curb inflation, raise interests rate, promote 100% made in Nigerian goods consumption. Inflation is the problem, not minimum wage, not dollars/exchange rate. If you raise minimum wage and artificially Peg the exchange rate, it will worsen the inflation, you have to allow market forces to take its course. This will result in pain and hardship, but will sanitize the system....the biggest question is can we eventually maintain a sanitized system ?

President Jonathan got a letter.(Titled: Before its too late) President Buhari got a letter. (Titled: The way out. A clarion call for coalition for Nigeria movement) Does Tinubu need a Letter ? Please recommend titles for this letter, the writer is on Standby.
