DOTian:

If you can't factor the net effects of insecurity, high costs of transportation, high costs of labour and forex on rising inflation in the country, especially on the costs of foodstuffs, then you're dense beyond belief.. To put things into proper perspective; a barrow pusher in any market in this country can deduce these facts faster than you. You still can't see you have a problem?

Really..

So forex is the reason why tomatoes, onion and pepper, bean, corn are expensive in the market.

Have you ever been to the farm before? What high cost of labour are you talking about? The farmer who plants is the one who harvest?

When the farmers goes to sell his produce to the wholesaler in the market, it is unionized and prices are fixed. When the wholesaler ties what he bought for transportation, the greedy union charges him, when he try to store it, they also charges him.

Transportation isn't expensive for the wholesaler but the greedy local and state government tax collector in every local government area his lorries passes want their share, the police also wants theirs.

When he gets to his destination, the wholesaler is also a member of a union, after calculating his own cost by adding transportation cost, local and state government tax, union tax, he set his prices, the union seeing that they might not be competitive, decides to influence his own price and fix price for him.

Buhari himself is the chief patron of the middle men.
Always blaming others except himself.

Many of his decisions both economically and politically are grounded and bases on present reality of Nigeria but tribalistic approaches by his opponents won't allow most people to see the big picture.

Can you list all the policies of Buhari that you disagree with?

1. Border closure was ill-timed
2. twitter ban was unnecessary and ill-motivated. Even childish.
3. Debt Burden with consistent borrowing tops the list.

My biggest issue remains with the poor viability of the economy which was upward headed before he took over...

Were these unions existing before 2015? So why is it that their activities today which have not changed from 2015 are now leading to skyrocketing food prices today? Answer that question and you have the solutions to your problem. That is if you do tell yourself the truth..

When he sale middle men he actually means igbos ...buhari is a communist socialist at heart reason he is going towards China and that explains why he hates Igbos who are capitalist in nature
How is buhari a communist leader, have u seen d rapid growth and development in China, can u even compare d rate of growth between China and India (biggest democracy on earth). The so-called democratic US is constantly in decline with high rate of poverty and homeless people in d world. If u dont know by now democracy is a type of government where people get to choose their own dictator

There's nothing "unpatriotic" about hoarding. Hoarding is a valid aspect of Commerce.
Hoarding is like Forex speculation; times you hoard to gain, other times you hoard to lose!

So, since the unfavorable government policies have been affecting the Middlemen adversely, and they're running huge loses, what has this federal government done in the spirit of 'patriotism' to offset the middle men's costs and deficits?

Their so-called hoarding for "profiteering" ain't an undue profit making. In fact, it is just an honest effort to break even, nay remain afloat!

This is the same thing he said when he was the military head of state. It's so sad.

The Naira's mediocre performance just about matches the mediocrity of those steering the exchange rate policy. It's a disgrace

Insulting Nigeria on independence Day for not being like USA or Dubai is like insulting your father on his birthday for not being as rich as Dangote-

Shut up!

God gave your father everything he wanted ranging from zinc, gold, oil, bitumen, steel, aluminium etc, and gave dangote only brain.

Fast forward 60 years later, your father squandered and looted everything and became poor while on the other hand, Dangote engaged his brain by becoming highly innovative which inturn made him grow100× bigger than he was thereby becoming the richest man in Africa.

Tell me how would you be proud of your father and not insult him?
