If with all the megatons of prayer power that you and your ilk have been leading Nigerias to produce for so many decades, and extortion schemes you have been robbing them to bribe God for spiritual help, and Nigeria still needs spiritual help at this time , then obviously Mr Adeboye, that should be the best proof that you're a Charlatan, a financial hustler, part Nigeria's rapacious and criminal elite.

I wonder where Nigerians get their leaders from I think they are from the Mars, the way they think is out of this world.

I wonder too o.

Then again, Nigerians deserve the leaders they get.

This is an Intelligent Decision by Niger state Governor.

[b]Controlling the open market to prevent bulk buyers from causing scarcity for small retail buyers involves implementing various measures and strategies:

Regulatory Policies: Implement regulations to prevent hoarding and price manipulation by bulk buyers. This may include setting limits on the quantity of goods an individual or entity can purchase within a specific timeframe.

Market Monitoring: Establish mechanisms for monitoring market activities to detect irregularities such as hoarding or price gouging. This could involve regulatory bodies, market surveillance teams, or technology-driven solutions like data analytics to track market trends and detect anomalies.

Price Controls: Consider implementing price controls or price ceilings on essential food items to prevent excessive price hikes that disproportionately affect small retail buyers. However, this approach should be carefully implemented to avoid unintended consequences such as black markets or reduced supply due to unprofitability.

Supply Chain Management: Improve supply chain management to ensure efficient distribution of goods from producers to retailers. This includes addressing logistical challenges, improving infrastructure, and promoting transparency and fairness in the supply chain.

Support for Small Retailers: Provide support and incentives for small retailers to enhance their purchasing power and competitiveness. This could include access to credit, training programs, and cooperative purchasing arrangements to leverage economies of scale.

Market Information: Facilitate access to timely and accurate market information for both bulk buyers and small retailers. This empowers market participants to make informed decisions and reduces the likelihood of sudden shortages or price spikes.

Promote Competition: Encourage competition in the market by reducing barriers to entry for new players and fostering a diverse supplier base. This can help mitigate the dominance of large bulk buyers and create a more level playing field for small retailers.

Public Awareness and Education: Raise public awareness about responsible consumption practices and the impact of hoarding on market stability. Educating consumers about their rights and responsibilities can help foster a culture of fair trade and discourage speculative behavior.

By implementing a combination of regulatory measures, market monitoring, supply chain improvements, support for small retailers, and promoting competition and consumer education, authorities can better control the open market and mitigate the adverse effects of bulk buyers on small retail buyers.[/b]

Which nonsense textbook are you reading from ?

Are you kidding me?
You have no idea how the food economy works, that's why you're writing this nonsense.

The so-called local villages do not and cannot have the capacity to consume the bulk food they produce. If the food items are not sold in bulk, the local economy, including the production of food, dies immediately.

I have been to Niger state, I have done this food business, and I can tell you categorically that the local villages depend entirely on bulk buyers and the commerce they bring to the local villages.
Villages and small towns eagerly look forward to market days because they depend on the commercial activities for survival.

Any mor. on that cuts off that lifeline that sustains the local village has just dropped a quick death sentence on the local villages.
Secondly, these producers of bulk food , aside from desperately needing the money from the sale of bulk food items, do not have storage facilities for store obviously perishable food items. So most likely, they would lose whatever they are not able to sell in bulk.
If they lose all their capital due to this policy, they would definitely not produce as much next farming season.

What then do you think will happen Mr. Genius ?
Less food in the land and much higher prices.

This is dumbest move I have ever heard any leader make.

This cannot even be described as an adhoc policy, because it is intended to achieve absolutely nothing but more hardships.

Rostikol:
Your country has millions of tonnes of food reserves stored in silos for emergencies, and they are being released to crash food prices.

Biggest joke this century.
Millions of tonnes of food in silos in reserve ?
You have been watching too much TV.
Even lies and humor should have a limit.

Bigkoko:
Sometimes I laugh, not because I love laughing all the time but because you need the drama coming out of Nigeria to calm down nerves....

First was Yul becoming a pasta with special anointing... The dude already have a member giving testimony online....of how she was healed of what is it again. What makes me laugh my hairless ass is that what Holy book is he using to proselyte? Holy Bible, Quran, Monk's book, Odinala or Mmauwo Holy book? Well, let's keep this for another day jare....

Back to the lastest apostle of patronize Nigerian goods.... Our own dear Werey Reno Omokri. Dude has been shouting himself hoarse. No on listens to him though, I bet he doesn't even listen to himself. What did all his foolishness online bring? Some carefully concealed brown egunje envelope from daddy Asiwaju. Yes tis is necessary because dude is broke, skillless and talentless. He has never been known to own or operated his own business. He has never contested elections even though it be councilor. But awey is agbadorian policy guide.

Yet this is the dude giving policy direction to umu Asiwaju. No wonder Yul decided to go become pasta, after all, if some Nigerians can vote Asiwaju and oga Boko Haram t become president, he too can become pasta, and some Nigerians will offer him alms, offering etc! Bruh the street is military and guys haven't to earn a sharp cut from the foolishness of other's.

Hear what Ex DSS boss said of paying money for Ransome. Dude leaned the hard way. ...

So here's the challenge. Some good obidients have offered to give $200 to any Nigerian who direct Nigerians to any small scale business Reno has own, currently own, operated and that employed Nigerians since he came off age. Let's learn his skills of keeping business afloat in daddy Asiwaju Govt. Even if na pure water making business...

At least let him also use some of the brown egunje envelope he receives to set up a business so we too go patronize am. And the last time I checked, dude was busy enjoying a vac at Sychelles and even had the pepper 🌶️ Dem audacity to post his scuba diving.

Abi no be patronize local again? Dude didn't go to Kuramo beach, nor Otamiri in Imo State or River Ethiope in Abraka, but carefully change the already pressured Naira he received from daddy Asiwaju to USD, voom to enjoy himself in Sychelles.

Make una dey try tell am to reduce his hypocrisy small.

Tankio!

Well said.
I'm trying very hard to find the perfect word to describe Reno Omokri. Sycophant, political jobber, minion, political tout ?
He would have made a perfect pasta, aka pulpit love-vendor or leach
Oh, I forgot that he already is a pasta.
Imagine, he couldn't even stick to that , the easiest racket, I mean business, in the world.

Rostikol:
The ones that Nigerian manufacturers have made even with their generators, have you bought?

You can point fingers all day, Mr Professional Blamer, but YOU carry HEAVY blame for the Naira value if you prefer FOREIGN MADE over NIGERIAN MADE.

And you cannot blame and finger-point your way out of it.

Oh yeah.
Blame me for making your N30k BMC or is it TMC monthly allowance a little more worthless.

Nigeria is a generator economy because they produce the worst political leaders in the world. The leaders are emboldened because they have little people like you , tribalists who can never see anything beyond your petty tribalism.
You sell your souls to the devil and then expect to reap the fruits of a prosperous nation. A nation populated with little men , low self-esteem people like you would always produce leaders that would enslave and screw you over from one political cycle to the next.
Why are you complaining now ?
If you're not smart enough to realize it, let me tell you now, nothing will ever get better in Nigeria. Look around you. Everything has crumbled.
Manufacturers cannot even afford fuel to run the generator economy. Soon , no one would be able to afford the imported generators to power the generator economy.
I am sure that typical two-faced hypocrites like you would have already snuck your children, by hook or crook , out of Nigeria, if your N30k TMC allowance can allow you.

This house has fallen.
Reap what you sow , all of you.

blacknp:
Other countries with electricity issues found a way to solve their problems with local initiative, not the lazy minded ones like you in the millions blaming others for their own incoherent incompetence.

Or you want to blame Ghanaians or Togolese for you not been able to provide yourselves with basic electricity?

The problem is that you are shameless in pride, just like millions of your type, to blame others for our own ineptitude.

A whole lot of meaningless babble directed at whom ?
Is he even sure which post he is responding to ?

Hhmm.
Maybe I need an interpreter for this one .

Rostikol:
Until we START TO LOVE, AND PREFER, and VALUE NIGERIAN-MADE GOODS AND SERVICES over foreign-made goods and services, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

Until we PREFER to buy Nigerian made shoes, slippers, handbags, cars, sandals, clothes, watches, bangles, etc INSTEAD OF foreign made, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA RISING.

We have to start to see things like the Chinese.

A China man prefers to buy made in China, even if the foreign version from London is of better quality.

Why? Because he's thinking ''why should I enrich Europeans instead of my own people?''

And so, this makes manufacturing very profitable in China! And the currency very strong! There is more demand for the Chinese yuan than for the dollar!

Because the people PREFER made in China to imported!

Without that mindset in Nigeria, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We cannot have a mindset that laughs at a man for wearing 'Aba-made' shoes.

That's a destructive, ignorant, anti-African mindset that will lead us into the abyss.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THESE WOMEN WE CALL NIGERIAN WOMEN SPEND ON SO-CALLED BRAZILIAN HAIR ALONE EACH YEAR, IS MORE THAN 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

IMAGINE IF THEY DECOLONISED THEIR MINDSET, AND FAVOURED TRADITIONAL PLAITING AND WEAVING HAIR STYLES OVER IMPORTED PERMS, WIGS, AND FAKE HAIR, ......THAT ALONE WOULD GENERATE EMPLOYMENT FOR 3 MILLION LOCAL HAIR STYLISTS MINIMUM, AND SHORE UP THE NAIRA VALUE.

When do we wise up as a people?

It's not about pointing fingers at govt officials. They make up less than 0.2% of the Nigerian population.

We over-estimate their influence and capacity to alter society.

THIS IS ON US!

Which nation in the world industrialized with generators, powered with imported subsidized fuel ?

DeepSight:
Gbam.

If you take yourself for example and consider how many litres of fuel you consume daily to power the generators in your home and business(let's say 15litres conservatively), and multiply that number by at least 10 million generators in all of Nigeria, and then multiply that sum by 365 days.
Now, if also consider that each litre of imported fuel is subsidized by the government, the numbers become mind-blowing.
If you also consider that we have been living on subsidized fuel since the Abacha Era, then you can see the insanity.
We have spent enough subsidizing generators over the last 30yrs that we could have used to build power stations in every local government in Nigeria- the key to industrialization and employment creation.

DeepSight:
Thats disaster for any import dependent economy, but suicide for an economy that imports every last thing down to toothpicks.

Agreed, my dear friend.

But aside from crayfish and Ijebu Garri to Nigerians in the diaspora, what else can we manufacture and export in a generator economy, powered by subsidized imported fuel ?

Unfortunately, independent thinkers are not to be found in the offices of policy architects.
Government policy makers are robots who respond to whatever data IMF and the World Bank feeds them.

gaby:
Nigeria is broker than you and I right now, brother.

They can't voice it out to avoid chaos..

Imagine what those quasi loan sharks do with Nigeria and equate it on a national level.

Even the paltry crude sales currently do not get credit to the national account but the creditors account.

Nigerians no even understand wetin dey happen, yet.

There is a reason why Dangote had to resort to importing and ignoring the arrangement made with NNPCL crooks.

The current re owners of our crude want cash payment and not the nonsense arrangement between Dangote and the nonsense NNPCL.

Very Interesting, and very sad.

gaby:
As it stands right now and in all honesty, bro, the Naira is an apprentice to the Zimbawean Dollar if allowed to show it's true "Value".

Even if you hate me, just trust me on this.

I wouldn't argue with you on that.
For as long as insecurity persists in every corner of Nigeria, it is near impossible to get foreign investors and even Nigerians in the diaspora to bring in sufficient dollars to stabilize the naira.

Faiththatworks:
I have been asking this question since last week,and I really need some Intelligent Nigerians to please educate me.
What's causing the downward spiral of the Naira to the Dollar, Can the CBN and the Banks please release the industries where the dollar demand is coming from.
I can say for a fact that NNPCL already told us petrol is no longer subsided,all diesel and Aviation fuel importers have given them selves some sense and have totally reduced their importation because of the Dangote Refinery.
Even Manufactures have reduced importation of essential raw materials,from Drugs to household essentials,everyone is cutting back on importation cos of the high Usd,so what's causing the spike in Demand.
My economic theory is very simple and I hope I get some Intelligent rebuttals,anyone buying Usd this high at 1$ to 1400,will never make a profit on whatever they import.
No right thinking importer will do business at such a ridiculous rate and still expect to make a profit,so who's buying this Usd.
I daresay this spiral is just open ended round tripping,the banks and the bureau are really the ones buying and selling this Usd,they create an artificial supply and demand bogus economy just to milk the Nigerian economy.
EFCC,NSA,ICPC should categorize these people as Economic Terriorist and treat them as such.
God bless Nigeria.

My friend, the very simple answer is that the FGN, as part of its economic restructuring program, is officially devaluing the Naira by allowing it to free float.
This is a deliberate policy.
When the Naira goes down too fast in a very short period, the same government takes one ad-hoc measure or another to curtail the panic, just for that period. Eventually the devaluation continues. No one knows the Naira's true value at this time, not even the government.
Therefore, no matter what ad-hoc measures taken today, the trajectory of the Naira is pointedly downward for the rest of the year, until it reaches that equilibrium point where supply matches demand.
From the way the entire economy looks, that equilibrium level might just be around N2100/$ .
How soon it will get to that level is everyone's guess.

Fayose’s brother calls on Tinubu to seize dollars in domiciliary accounts to save naira



https://gazettengr.com/fayoses-brother-calls-on-tinubu-to-seize-dollars-in-domiciliary-accounts-to-save-naira/

Ignorance is bliss.

Everyone is saying Tinubu should do this or do that to save the Naira.
I can't help laughing.
These busybodies haven't yet figured out that Naira devaluation is the DELIBERATE policy of this administration.
The Naira will continue to fall until it reaches its true equilibrium value.
Duuuhhh !!

NextAbuja:
Let it be in record that Igbos are allowed to call others fools on Nairaland so long it is spelt as "FOO".

I have tonnes of foo I like to insult on Nairaland, any mod wey God wan punish should dare his father or mother n ban because I reported this one since 5 PM n no ban was served on him.

It is 9 PM n he is everywhere still running his mouth without any caution. The other day I called someone mumu na almost a year ban the hopeless mod have me but his tribesmen can call others fool spelt as foo.

Unfortunately, you have advertised that understanding common grade school English is a bit of a challenge.

There is a world of difference between when a word is used in general terms and when it is directed at a specific individual.

I was merely repeating a common proverb about Foos and the lessons of history.

Why you took that very personal is perhaps the mystery of the day.

NextAbuja:
I no even drag intelligence with you yes I am a dullard I no get sense. Make person no get sense is no crime under Nigeria constitution but shamelessly lying in a war you started n were thoroughly flogged home n away is what the shame should be giving you nightmare.

Come tomorrow when your ipob father is ready against Nigeria, your fathers n you will be thoroughly n mercilessly flogged you will cry blood. We de wait your papa when you ready.

My dear numbskull friend.
If ipob is the only thing that keeps you awake at night in Nigeria, I assure that you are probably the luckiest person in Nigeria.
Because, as I write this, tens and millions of Nigerians are homeless( displaced from their homes and farms from maruading bandits, dying of hunger and disease. Even the rich are scared to death about their daily movements. And unfortunately, it will get worse, with very little hope of ever getting better for them or even you.
Nigeria is a failed state at the moment. Don't take it from me. Just look around you.
Nigeria is a failed state because people like you, the many of you, are perpetually afraid to face the lie that the country has gradually become. You're more terrified of the ugly fraudulent past than you are of future redemption.

Let's kwantinu.

NextAbuja:
This dull head end up saying the most foolish senseless thing in the longest comment ever.

Wetin this unwise ipob de talk ? Your papa know history reach me n have you answered which part of plateau your fathers trekked from before they were poisoned ?!

Compulsive labelling is a proven sign of intellectual vacuity.

The moment you labelled every uncomfortable or disagreeable post ' ipob' is the moment you betray your intellectual level or should I say , vacuity .

Empty heads are always always too eager to advertise their emptiness.

Benjaminy:
We've not even started. We've still go years........ to go. When this Government is done with Nigeria, even 50 years of good governance won't correct the damages. Infact, with this rate, by next year, those who're still barking support for this Government, because of Party affiliation, Ethnic affiliation or sheer id10cy, would have had their brain on a total reset by hardship.

There's no coincidence and no surprises, because every sane man knew that this party and this combo had/has/will have nothing to offer, but tribalism, the bane of Nigeria blinded many.

Insecurity at the highest ; banditry, kidnappings, killings. People's daughters and wives raped and killed by bandits, at ease, soldiers being killed serially, but you think that you won, making noise on social media, because it has not come to your doorstep. Don't worry, it's a gradual process, and then your silence would be loud.

Not that I blame anyone who voted towards the emergence of this Government. Why? It's because their votes did not lead to the emergence. In the right scenerio, they wasted the votes.

When this party and this combo is done with Nigeria, only ashes would be left

While I do agree with you that Nigerians deserve the type of governance they get, it's too late to mock people whether they support Tinubu or not. We are already all this hell together.
I don't believe in prayer, buy if prayer works at all, the best we can all do is pray that this government succeeds where the previous government woefully failed.

While I'm not hopeful that a government that came to power on fraud , and being run by celebrated criminals can change the spots on its leopard skin, I tend to look at it this way;
If Tinubu succeeds in just one area of governance in Nigeria, all Nigerians, including you and I, would benefit from it one way or another.

Good move Tinubu.

I hope this is for more transparency and accountability, and not just another agenda for another clique of thieves.

When I read the type of garbage that comes out of Nigerias, I really have less pity for the plight of Nigeria and what the get from their leaders.

With all the problems confronting this failed state and the hopeless people that live there, it is the supposed LGBT child of Peter Obi that gives them the most concern about their future and wellbeing?

Slytiger:
That's common knowledge for anyone following world economics. The US, Canada, EU e.t.c have stopped raising interest rate. There will likely be cuts starting from middle of this year.


That's because alot of Nigerian traders are normally greedy people.

Stop writing nonsense, as if you understand what you're talking about.
What does inflation in Nigeria have to do with Canada and the US ?
The moment you went in that direction was when it became obvious that you don't know what you're talking about.

Nigeria is a failed state. No economic theory or standard economic model works in Nigeria.

There are a thousand reasons why inflation will never drop in the foreseeable future in Nigeria, but let me just give one.

The Nigerian economy is perhaps the only economy in the world that is run entirely on individual generators, powered by imported fuels, paid for in USD$ and subsidized with funds borrowed from other countries or international financial institutions.

Think about that.

And that is just one reason.

If you factor in corruption, disruptions in agricultural output as a result of terrorism and banditry,
There is no way in the world, no policy model, no voodoo, no Hail Marys, that the CBN can ever control inflation.

BigBlackPreek:
Trust Nigerians they will come really hard on this prophecy. Adeboye a respected man of God but there are things that shouldn't be said on the pulpit as a man of God .he could have prayed for increase but not saying "Your colleagues will come to you for food by this time next year "

Lol.

Adeboye is a certified Charlatan.
His own words betray him as a wicked, selfish soul.

How much more nonsense can these evil Charlatans sell to the poor and gullible masses ?

Dtruthspeaker:
See! If you were rational then you would see that a person who is excessively hopeful (blindfaith) is not an evil (narcissistic) person.

It is rather a hopenone atheist who is an evil person and a narcissistic sociopath like this filthy atheists


More proof that atheists are dirty dogs showing their evil narcissistic selfs

This rabble does not meet the minimum intellectual threshold for this discussion.

fredwill1357:
Sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists e.t.c are all drawn to power, but for different reasons. Narcissists desperately wants to believe they are perfect and superior to others. This can cause self righteousness and a need for validation, praise, worship and untainted reputation.

They also want to believe that they and things connected to them are superior, this can result in sociopathic and malignant narcissists usually killing for the dominance and superiority of their tribe, religion e.t.c.
They like been revered and bowed to, so a good number of them will be drawn to positions or organizations that paint them in a good light, increases their societal reputation and makes them come off as morally superior or better. However, religion is not to be totally blamed. This people will still find other means of exerting control, hurting others to feel powerful e.t.c.

I agree with you completely.
Yes, narcisstic sociopaths are to be found in every profession and strata of life.
However, does Religion ( where blindfaith allegiance is a requirement) especially provide a seeding ground or nurturing and accommodating environment for closet sociopaths to hide and thrive unnoticed and unchallenged ?

fredwill1357:
I consider people with high narcisstic traits or sociopathic narcissists a bigger problem to the world. These people are worst because they score low on self reflection and regulation, they crave and seek out perfection, control and dominance. Their ego and unstable self esteem is easily hurt even when you are joking with them. Worst part, they always project and accuse others of been the problem. They can't stay on their own nor mind their business, always instigating drama, chaos and looking for who to devalue and prey on. Refusing to bow to them brings you more hate and character assassination from them.

The above makes my question even more relevant.
Does Religion, by its nature, a breeding ground for narcissistic sociopaths, or, are narcissistic sociopaths naturally drawn to Religion?
What is the connection?

It amazes me once again that people are feigning shock and surprise at the recent BBB documentary of the evils of the late Clown and Conman TB Joshua and his cult.

My own wonder is why people have eyes but can't see.
All religious cults, from the beginning of time to the modern era, follow the very same repeating patterns of manipulation,sexual abuse and unbridled evil.

All religious sects and their leaders or pastors, GOs , prophets, etc, exhibit different degrees of sociopathy and cult-like behavior patterns.

Therefore, the big question that I have always struggled with, especially now, is whether Religion, by its very primordial and irrational nature actually breeds Sociopaths, or, that the Sociopaths of society are naturally drawn to Religion, again, because of the same primordial and irrational nature of religion?
Which begets the other ?
Let's have an educated discussion.

SoNature:
Let's be clear here: Tinubu is not responsible for the activities of his stealing ministers because a typical Nigerian has a dubious, opportunitistic and hypocritical mentality. No, that's not Tinubu's fault.

Sharrap dia.
The buck stops with Tinubu, and therefore all responsibilities and blames go to him.
Government officials usually follow the body language of their leader. If the body language of the leader encourages or endorses corruption, then they go on looting spree.
When the President, the Senate President and his deputy, the House speaker and many other top officials of this government already have thick files at EFCC headquarters for previous accusations of corruption, then corruption is more likely to becomes the sole objective of governance.
