ZombieTERROR:
We all know Buhari is unfit to be called a president medically
He has nothing to offer to Nigeria or Nigerians
He promised to stop foreign medical trips for government during campaign
One wonders where he buried his intergrity
Buhari is a certified fraud , a living failure that will consume this unholy entity called a country...

The Foundation for Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Crusade, FHRACC, has calld on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare his health status, as well as the amount he spent to treat himself in the United Kingdom otherwise they will take some necessary legal steps to compel it to do the right thing.

FHRACC National President, Alaowei Ebikonbowei handed down the threat in a statement on Saturday.

“The Government cannot be flouting the relevant provisions of the laws of the land, especially the Freedom of Information Act and the 1999 Constitution. We are calling on the Government to do what is right in the eyes of the law, otherwise we may take some necessary legal steps to compel it to do the right thing.

“President Buhari sworn an oath to protect the laws of the land and not to breach them with impunity. It’s for public good, public safety and public morality that Mr President informs Nigerians of the details of his health and how much he has spent to treat himself. This is the demonstration of the Government’s sincerity in upholding its much chorused “Change Must Begin With Me”, a new national orientation that it has introduced to Nigerians”, he said.

Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, yesterday accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of worsening the state of Nigeria’s economy.

Soludo spoke in Enugu at an interactive forum, titled “Big Ideas Podium”, which was organized by the African Heritage Institution.

At the Forum chaired by a former Governor of Cross Rivers State, Donald Duke, Soludo acknowledged that the current All Progressives Congress, APC, administration inherited a bad situation.

He was, however, quick to declare that the current administration had made the economy several times worst than it met it.

He said, “Nigeria is now, some say a fragile state, some say a failed state; it is not going to be a tea-party to come out but unfortunately, we are not taking it serious.

“Nigeria is not just in recession but in a massive economic compression; it will be a miracle for the present APC administration to return this country to the dollar size it met in May 29, 2015, if it stays for 8 years, that’s till 2023.

“It is business as usual; propaganda, lies, double-speak, current government is fighting corruption, insecurity, but we say to them, enough of the blame gain.

“They inherited a bad situation but they have made it several times worst; getting us out here is not a tea-party like I sad before.

Nigerians should rise in unity; it should no longer be ‘let them’; only united citizens can rescue Nigeria out of this position.

”The Ex-CBN boss, while stressing the need for what he called ‘Citizen United’, as a panacea to the present situation, urged the masses the take the government into account for all the promises made before the election.

“My idea is that of Citizen United; we won’t get the leadership that we deserve; we won’t get the leadership that we want; we will get the leadership that we demand.

“They gave us manifestoes, promised a lot and we said ‘yea’; how many have gone back to check how far them are implementing those promises; if any party implements 25 percent of its manifesto, Nigeria will get better.

“If you check any State run by APC, PDP or APGA, the three parties that have Governors, can you see spot any difference in any of those States that will distinguish one party from another, it is the same.

“APC said in its manifesto that it will restructure Nigeria, that Nigeria was not one, but after election, has anybody heard about it (restructuring) again?

They control 23 States and the National Assembly, all they need is one more State to get the required 2/3; so they have what it takes, but they are not talking about it again.

“If we don’t rise to hold them by the jugular, Nigeria cannot go anywhere. We have to start preparing for a post-oil economy; insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over again and expect different result”, he further stated.

Soludo, who also faulted the clamour for Igbo presidency described it as an “unnecessary distraction”, stressing that you could have the President and his Vice as well as all the ministers come from one village “but the life of all the people in the that village will not move from point A to point B.

While justifying his position, he recalled that during the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, several members of the economic team, including the finance minister, Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker of the House of Reps, SGF, all came from the South-East, “but not one motorable federal highway in Igbo land.

“We want a new Nigeria where it does not matter where the president comes from; we want to set a structure where each citizen will work hard, where security is guaranteed.

”He further used the event to lambast the Federal Government for unleashing security agencies on various protesters across the country, especially the pro-Biafra groups, insisting that they had every right under the Constitution to express their feelings.

According to him, “people have right under the Constitution to protest within the law; the duty of the police is to give the protesters protection. Killing innocent citizens simply because they expressed their feelings is wrong; no citizen of Nigeria should be killed for no just cause; we don’t condone violence, but government should protect its people; once you remove freedom of expression, democracy is gone.

”Other speakers at the event included Prof. Akpan Ekpo and Prof. Osita Ogbu, a former econmic adviser to then president Olusegun Obasanjo.

Earlier, Duke, who stated that corruption was not a problem peculiar to Nigeria, observed that “it is a bigger challenge for us because there are no consequences here; that’s why it is worst here.”

The govt gave licenses to 23 qualifying oil and gas investors to build modular refineries since early 2016, we haven't heard anything from those investors till date. I'm still not sure I understand how or why you are now blaming the govt for the decisions of our big oil magnate who prefer importation to building refineries.

obailala:
Nigeria depends so so so much on imported goods so even at N1000 to a dollar, there would still be a mad rush for the dollar. Cmon man, we import virtually every drop of petrol and kero and diesel we use in this country. And unlike many other nations that need these products for just transportation, our power supply in Nigeria is over 70% dependent on these same products which we import.

You may say we are focused on the 'no alternative' rhetoric, but guess what?... it can never be overemphasised that we had no immediate alternatives. Even the so called bailout funds you highlighted as a possible solution wouldnt have been able to scratch the surface.

Again, regarding the bailout funds, while I agree with you that the funds could have been used for great things, do you really know the impact of 27 out of 36 states being unable to pay salaries in a nation like Nigeria where govt is the biggest employer of labour?

obailala:
Bro, I honestly feel tired, completely weakened having to explain some of these things to people like you because I know you are well enlightened, but you have simply chosen to act like you don't comprehend simply things all because of sentiments.

Yes, several policies of the admin aren't good, but it would make a lot of sense if we could just remain focused, put the unnecessary sentiments aside for just one moment and then address issues 'as they are' instead of how we want them to look. I am tired of having to sound like I am defending bad policies such as the maintenance of multiple exchange rates by the CBN/FG, the fact is that I am not. But for once like I said, put the sentiments aside and call a spade a spade.

A little background... Nigeria has an inordinate thirst for imported goods from basic petroleum products to the least of the items we eat; this means a high demand for forex. Nigeria gets over 90% of its forex from oil sales and with the oil crash, the primary source of our forex was cut by more than half. Like you said, GEJ left about $28.6bn specifically in the reserves as at May 2015 when he handed over. A question for you is, do you know how much was in that reserve 6 months before that handover date?... There was about $38.6 billion in the reserves but it crashed rapidly within 6 months to $28.6bn because while the FG/CBN kept issuing forex 'normally' as if nothing was wrong (in a bid to save the Naira), the inflow of forex into the reserves had dwindled seriously (due to the oil crash) leaving a negative balance.

Meanwhile at the time in question (Nov 2014 - May 2015), oil still sold averagely above $60. Another question for you is, if we could be losing about $1.67billion monthly from the reserves when oil still sold for over $60, what do you think would have happened to Nigeria if the forex restrictions were not enforced having in mind that the oil crash continued to as low as $28/barrel?... Do you know what happens to an import dependent country when its forex reserves drop to zero? Google Venezuela to get an insight.

So I am completely sick and tired of people still saying forex restrictions by Buhari led us to the present mess because while that may be correct, one would have expected these overnight economists to be gracious enough to also tell us if Nigeria really had another option at the time considering that Nigeria was fast running out of reserves.

obailala:
Oh yes buhari's approach aggravated the Niger Delta bombings, but at least he has since reversed on that approach hence we haven't heard cases of bombings in close to 4 months.

Then for the forex policy which you claimed was changed, this is the very point where I called you out. To the best of my knowledge and as a matter of fact, nothing has changed and we still practice a multitude of dollar rates. The appreciation of the Naira seen last week is principally because the CBN resumed disbursement of forex into the market and that is not a new policy; this isn't the first time in the last 2 years that the Naira would suddenly appreciate following the CBN's injection of forex into the system, but then, you cannot give what you dont have. About 3 months ago, in order to rebuild up the reserves which had dropped to dangerously low levels (~$23bn), the CBN severely cut the disbursement of forex into the market and this is what put the recent pressure on the Naira which pushed it up to N520. With the reserves now built up close to $30bn, the CBN simply resumed disbursements and this is what led to the recent appreciation (not any new policy or 'obnoxious' policy reversal as you claim). Hopefully with oil price now averaging $55 and oil production now over 2million bbls, it may be possible for the CBN to sustain the weekly injection of forex into the system to continue appreciating the Naira without our reserves dropping to the very low levels again.

In summary, there was no new spectacular policy or reversal of any 'obnoxious' policy; except you are saying the policy is Buhari saving money in the reserves for 3 months and then now injecting the saved FX back into the system to appreciate the Naira. You can't give what you don't have and the CBN wouldn't have been able to inject FX last week into the economy if it didn't save up in the last 3 months.. Of course the only thing which people who are ignorant of the happenings can see is that "the resumption of FX injection happened when Buhari is away, so therefore it is a reversal of Buhari's policy by osinbajo and it is appreciating the naira."

Which politics exactly are you referring to? Buhari's policy is what ensured that Nigeria's economy is hinged on only one commodity right?

If you want me to school you on what's really going on, I can. So please stop boring me with these your 'Buhari this Buhari that' shallow analysis of the economy.
