No way! How dare u say that? Have u tot of d fact that these people paid their children's fees without any hitch before now? U should take that back pls. Doesn't sound alright on every level. That's d height of insensitivity.

they can still pay without any hitch,the official rate peg is a scam just like subsidy no country with large economy like ours pegs its currency exchange rate they allow the market forces to drive it and everyone buys at the same value no official rate for a priviledged few.

stevedre:
Watch the video before commenting na, kilode na. Abi u dey wait make them attack u before ur eyes clear (GOD forbid). People in the video said they did not start the fight but heard about the fighting like 2 days before the Hausas attacked them. They this is not agility but Orile so why did Hausa come to attack them, a man was roasted alive and urge here talking about area ? Violence by Hausas is getting out of hand cuz if this can happen in Lagos then wahala dye o.

pls calm down,thats not orile,nothing like that happened there.

awa:
Dear Lord help us to win this game to shame those Anti-Chelsea guys following us here

No one dey give update?pls chelsea score one more goal.

prince3009:
Did you watch the video? I didn't hear even 1 person speak Igbo there!! It was yoruba that i heard. Even those speaking english had that thick yoruba accent!

the point is that didnt happen in orile but mile 12 and yes they are yorubas mostly,the point is op gave us a wrong location.

Op is a big liar,I hope you know that majority of the people in Orile are Igbos,stop spreading lies please.

Sealeddeal:

Thank you jare!.

I schooled in the village, and recited "A" is for Apple all the while, but I had no idea what an Apple looks like. The first time I saw an apple was when I came to the city, many years after I finished primary school.

African scholars and educationist keep blinding children in the name of education!.

Sometimes, I just feel we're indeed stupid to be controlled by white people, even when there're no longer here.

https://thespiritscience.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/eat-an-apple.jpg

True education cannot happen any place in Africa, cause the parameters for judging what is and what is not knowledge we don't control. Therefore, we've surrendered ourselves to intellectual servitude, which is an advanced slavery happening in our own eyes without us even realizing it.

All these I've been preaching for ages.

Nice,dont mind op jare.

musicwriter:
It's already like that, and it has been like that since white people installed educational fraud across Africa. When you say "A" is for Apple you're already saying the same thing. We don't own the language with which knowledge is acquired in school, in the first place. What could be more damaging than that?.

a for apple ko,do we grow apple in Nigeria?crap J for Java?how mamy kids knows about java?

I dont understand,must we celebrate everything here,where is the official residence of the speaker of American congress?

saintdennis:
Bro am not and have never been to rivers b but lagos! Which light rail scam? You think rail is beans?! Work . Ongoing and I have seen with my eyes rail stations n bridges being constructed on mile 2 axis and around that national theatre side o.
It's world Bank assisted project which APC is continuing to finish, wike of rivers can either choose to finish amaechi work or play politics with it, but here in lagos by next year we should b boarding trains.

If tolls will ensure our roads r smooth why not embrace it? Look @ the lekki -epe road and find pothole or the lekki -ikoyi link bridge , watch how our highways will change once tolls are introduced.

Pls fash like tinubu is. A visionary and my prayer is ambode also outdoing fash. Keep your criticisms of fash to yourself.

we are already paying for tolls,please lets resist that thing when.obj removed it they introduced tax on fuel,whats the point.

TonyeBarcanista:
Is it not funny that a member of FEC when GEJ was in government, Samuel Orthom is now an APC Governor of Benue state? Is Orthom incorruptible?

What about Kawu Baraje, a Chairman of Nigeria Railway Corporation in most part of GEJ era that led nPDP to APC? Is he absolved?

What about the light rail fraud of Fashola and Amaechi in Lagos and Rivers respectively? Are they clean?


On the subject, the investigators/prosecutors should do their work and go to court BUT APC shouldn't seek to score cheap point with this. Beside, the Transport minister under GEJ and NRA are to respond.

If there is any fraud, it was perpetrated by APC Chieftains Samuel Orthom(Member of FEC under GEJ) and Kawu Baraje(NRC Chairman under GEJ), as well as some PDP members and former members including Bamangar Tukur

are you aware that kawu baraje resigned as NRC chairman?he was not removed like the others,and about samuel am sure you can read the topic,it says the contract by pass FEC how will you hold FEC members responsible for something that by pass them

caprini1:

Back to the topic,high exchange rate is not a problem,but stability in exchange rate,no economy as large as our with our population still operate fixed exchange rate,cbn should stop selling dollars to the banks or anyone locally.

Here we go again,meanwhile there is poverty all over the south west,if you ve not travelled outside lagos,please stop posting this elusive figures,with half baked teachers in our schools?lets get a grip please.

The amount does not matter at all. The core issue here is that there was communication between them, money was exchanged and efcc only mentioned the money they have evidence/prof.

well tbh that part is really sad,something must be done about the Judiciary,they are embarassing us

Drama at its peak,we need more hands at efcc,those guys are becoming gestapos,not holding briefs for the san ricky tafar,but the efcc is funny thinking 250k will b able to sway a judge,
Btw if u guys dont know check your facts very well,the san is APC.lawyer.jp

NavierStokes:
I disagree brother, all the past leaders have been products of the system, the system has been the problem. Get the system right and then every one would be able to make visible impact. At the moment bringing lagarde and Jim Yong Kim put together will not be able to make visible impact in this current system.

the system was created by who? Its all leadership problem, right from 1960 corruption and leadership was the problem, reason major kaduna gave was corruption when he striked against the system, the only administration that was not labeled corrupt was Buhari/Idiagbon government, corruption fought back and here we are.

seunmsg:
Very revealing article. I agree with most of the arguments of the author except the issue of importation not being a problem and devaluation not resulting in serious inflation.

The level of importation in Nigeria today is not sustainable considering the inadequate foreign exchange earnings. Again, if we are serious about creating jobs and becoming a major global economic player, we need to reduce our over dependence on importation and stimulate our manufacturing industry. China and India did not become the second and third largest economy by importation, they achieved the feat by manufacturing almost all their local needs and still manufacturing enough for exportation to other countries. He identified exportation as a problem but the fact is, we can't export when we are not even producing enough to meet local needs. We need to discourage importation to stimulate local production.

The argument that devaluation does not cause serious inflation is just weak. The truth is, the real rate of inflation that the people contend with is not really reflected in the inflation figures that the NBS comes up with. When we devalue, the first thing that will go up is the cost of fuel importation and that is what the present administration can't afford. In calculating the inflation rate, NBS takes a lot of items into consideration and so, the real effect of the increase in petroleum products is watered down in the overall rate.
Again, minimum wage of workers has remain the same since 2011 and inflation has risen by over 5%. Adding another 1-2% to the inflation rate as a result of devaluation without increasing workers salary is wickedness.

the writer's write up is brilliant, but as a PHD holder has should know that no big economy still practice fixed exchange rate,last country that did that was China,we must abandoned that system and let the naira float naturally in the market,currently the official rate is a scam.
Workers salary increase is not the solution either,the last raise was a major cause of inflation,salaries were raised on all level,which is not the basis of minimum wage,if tomorrow the minimum wage is increased to 36,000 that shouldn't mean someone earning 100k should get 200k automatically, our labour unions sold us a dummy,the last election was dollarised by politicians,now the price of oil has gone down everyone is having heart attack.

Declassified memo my ass,was Nigerian population 80million as at that time?untap gas resources in 70s?

NavierStokes:
Well I wasn't referring to the current leader, thats why I put a caveat just incase my example shares similarity with any leader including the current administration.

To the main substance of your post, education is a tool to think, there is a reason governments and companies send their best to particular schools, that reason isn't just because they want those wards to catch fun or get an ostentatious feeling, rather in such institutions leaders are built.

Now if you say an okonjo iweala or arunma oteh was celebrated elsewhere, came to Nigeria and failed and travelled out again to be recognized, then it should tell you there is something fundamentally wrong with our system.

The case of a man, who every girl he breaks up with goes on to get married, should do some self searching.

what is fundamentaly wrong is the leader,those women would have performed magic if the leader showed example but he did not,the reason the Gov forum asked for the money to be shared was that the FG was spending the saved money without the consent of the states,that started under Obasanjo and continued under Jonathan,hence the reason for the Govs to asl for the money to be shared instead of FG spending our common wealth at will,Gej does the talk but never had the balls infact he acted in other direction secretly.

lookandlaff:
This is the problem: We are an import dependent country with very little exports outside Oil. When you devalue your currency and you don't export but import everything you create inflation in your country. You have to reduce the demand for forex by producing things at home or increasing your exports before you devalue. A short term solution to our currency problem is to fix the refineries, or deregulate PMS so that fuel importers no longer obtain their forex from CBN but the price of fuel will rise and people will be restless. But hat is the major drain on our forex,

we are not the only import dependant country on earth neither are we the only mono comodity country on earth,but we are the most lying country on earth,we are so poor and yet we believe we are rich,our government official are paid more than we can.sustain,subsidy and fixed intrest rate is a scam,only a few benefit from.it,a guy was.on channels on their sun rise show,the first speaker he was spot on,the government need to stop selling dollars to the bank,stop giving import waivers,secure the borders,tax everyone accordingly and we are good

The solution is to get rid of fixed or pegged rate exchanged system,an.economy like ours does not need that,most large economies evem china has abamdoned that system,cbn should stop seeling to the banks just like they stopped selling to bdc,stability is what we need not necessarily strong currency.

Justiyke4u:
After reading the post I pause to think about it but then after reading people's comments I even became more confused as to whether they are commenting as regards the post above. Is it that people have sold their reasoning away or deliberately playing ignorance. This is an attempt to save some fund for the country at least let's put aside the legal means, judging from the issues raised from the post. Am sure he is not asking court for any damages but then why are people seeing it differently? Is this what politics has turn the brain of nigerian youths to? Chai chai chai chai

please ignore most of those people they are paid agents,the man raised some.valid points,what the pdp and apc agents cant put their hands on is that both parties are responsibly for it,where is the money loaned out in time of boom?

Devaluation is not the answer but total cancellation of official rates,let the cbn stop selling dollars to the banks totalling,let the naira be priced on a level playing field,the official rate of the naira is the same thing with fuel subsidy,its doing.more damage than good to the ecomomy.we can hold our foreign reserve in dollars but do all business in Naira,Banks should source for dollars just like everyone does,just because Mr A have a licence of a bank shouldnt mean he should be sold dollars by cbn on different rate than Mr B,this is what the system is right now,once the system.is free and fair Nigerian will start exporting and importation will go down.official devaluation is a fraud,cancellation of the official rate is the only way out.
