Nigeria prepare for what it seems will be the greatest corrupt government for nest two years

We just discovered something most wicked and evil government of Nigeria under buhari this is grave consequences

We discover that this buhari government and Fulani cabal's have secret account where they transfer 35% of the money they borrow from foreign country (not including China) and most likely from oil money billions of dollars are transferred to some of this accounts


They open this account in case of if something happens to Nigeria they will use that billions to survive mind you the north Sentral is not part of this only Fulani cabal's knows about this accounts

The account was opened in the name of northern development management just to confused the borrower's that the money is mean for development of northern Nigeria

The signatory of this accounts in Saudi Arabia have ellofi signature the governor of Kaduna state and baba amed the Northern Elders volume and two other people we can't get their name.

They also have tow account in Qatar Yusuf buhari is one of the signatory of one of the account and about seven others.

If you don't stop Fulani Nigeria will cry time is coming when you will not see any money for any developments you will be only paying for Dept

They the Fulani are making plan to install another Fulani man and you people are there shouting 2023 Powe must return to south whit out any action. By nest year you will see how they will use efcc and DSS to against Southerners special the people who don't agree with them some of Southern politicians will run away

Stop Fulani known or unknown is coming


What manner of idiocy is this?. Did you go to school at all?

If we follow the 2016 script to the letter, then the authorities would walk back on this call for devaluation starting from today. We would find many reasons why devaluation is bad for the economy. But the devaluation will eventually happen.

Look at it like this; we are back at that time in 2015 when the official rate of the dollar was N197, and the parallel market rate was N260. There was more than a 20 percent gap between the parallel market and the official side. Today we have 411 vs 570, which is also more than a 20 percent gap.

If the CBN goes with Osinbajo’s suggestion to “move our rates”, what immediately happens is that we see a devaluation at the official market, which may drive up prices of goods and services in the short term. If the CBN employs some of the lessons from the past, it can strengthen the naira at the parallel market. The naira will dramatically recover from N570 per dollar to anywhere between 450 and 500. There would be a unification of rates at a new midpoint. But the big question is: what happens next?

After the 2016 devaluation and some sort of unification, the parallel market began to shift again. The CBN adjusted for unification. By 2017, the parallel market had taken the naira to 520 per dollar. CBN had to devalue again to 360 to firm up rates. The naira recovered from 520 to 360 at the parallel market. But this was not sustainable due to the nature of the Nigerian economy.

Since 2017, we have moved from a unified 360 to 570 as of Monday. If we devalue again, the naira will firm up for a bit, and if we don’t do something different with the economy, we would be back again at devaluation avenue in a few years. That is how the Nigerian auto-replay works.

Exactly

But all this is lipstick on a pig. At the end of the day, we have to earn more and more forex.

Which this government is not doing. Diversification is still a paper idea, and we are still oil reliant.

There is only one lesson here: the economy of Nigeria is terribly bad.

They were not in government without the details of the economy, but they ganged up against the previous govt. Osinbajo is sitting on the same seat Ngozi Iweala sat, and he is crying now. They all ganged up against Ngozi. Said many bad things against her.

See eh. They said Jonathan's time we had surply via oil, but Buhari is having more money cos he bullies everyone's to huge borrowing style. Yet, things are getting worse seriously under this dullard.

I used to say student way is the best to move abroad, but as it is, the rich will soon not be able to afford it except the main looters. International students pays average of $25,000 annually for tuition, books, and welfare. As at 2012, it was N2.85millon naira. At minimum wage, this is 95 months salary. Na wao... as at today, the same $25,000 is N10.375 million naira which is 345 months salary...this is 28 years salary for minimum wage. And then, if this is via CBN exchange rate oooo. But if we have to go by Osinbajo's words, it will be N14.85million. Which is 41 years salary for minimum wage. Hmmmmm! And based on this report, if we go by what happens to Naira the first time Osinbajo made this cry and CBN obliged, naira may run to N1,000 to a dollar in 6 months...that's N25million. Which is 69 years minimum wage. This is for 1 year only oooo. For 4 years undergraduate study, it will be 277.8 years minimum wage to send a child to study in the US for just 4 years.

Hmmmm! I can just conclude that APC has concluded plans to lock up all the youths in Nigeria. How can parents afford this? Now some of those planning to move for higher degrees are in trouble. Maybe only few people who can get scholarship can do this. Hmmmm. This is not easy at all.

This is too bad. I swear, boys will be desperate with marriage options now. Wow! This is the truth. I pity all those girls abroad looking for love in Nigeria. I pity them. Those that have taken the bold step before now, I congratulate them as their chances of getting a faithful person was high. But after now, hahahahha......they are in soup. If they are still stupid to think they can get good partners from Nigeria....hmmmmm. This is the bitter truth. I will always say the truth no matter what. If you like listen...if you like be stubborn. Stop looking for spouses in Nigeria again.

Osinbajo is right but economics goes beyond few maneuvers. If allowed to devalue, it will settle somewhere between 410 and 570 but quickly jump back to towards and even beyond 570 all because the system is set up for destruction.

His so smart with lots of brains upstairs

Osibanjo has nothing to offer to Nigeria. for him to be pushing for the further devaluation the naira knowing fully well how valueless the naira is clearly shows his emptiness.

The fact remains no good investors can invest in a country that lacks basic infrastructure such as electricity, good roads, etc. Government that consistently shows no respect for the rule of law.

VP never call for Naira devaluation. He only called for an official rate reflective of market reality. The current dual exchange rates allows for arbitrage and blocks inflow/supply of dollars from investors.
Another word for devaluation. Market realities, market forces determining the exchange rate will result in a spiralling naira devaluation in the short to medium term.

What we have now is expensive, inefficient, unproductive, unsustainable and only delays the inevitable. Naira will sooner or later find it’s level whether the cbn likes it or not

How long/time are we gonna continue devaluing the naira?

If we devalue today, in about 6-8 months, there will be another talk of Naira devaluation.

Simple float the Naira and let the Naira find it's value at the open. That way, govt will have enough $$ to channel into other areas of the economy.

The effect/pain of a worthless naira is something we will/must suffer whether we like it or not since we are a consumer nation coupled with the govt's increased borrowing.

Rather than make us suffer the pain/effects of worthless naira in piecemeal, give us the suffering once and for all so we can move on.

Like i wrote, whether we like it or not, we will suffer it, though we are already suffering piecemeal.

But make i no lie, the suffering go hard die! Lots people will die/suicide, crime will increase, in fact e go rugged gan!!

Osibanjo earned my respect for this truth he espouses. What we have now amounts to a ‘subsidy’ on the naira. Nigeria cannot afford it. It is artificial and seriously damaging our long term economic health.

The vice President is try to fish some error out in our exchange system and monetarily polices of thet, that "our exchange rate is artificial low" this to say that what is authentic official rate,isn't been remitt to the commission, he said they can't call more dollars but be accountability to the available one,that the agencies concerns should work in collaboration on the exchange trade and for the external reserve to grow.

This is so dangerous in the long run and might end up in two kind of eventuality:

1 - Either we swap our legal tender (Naira) for the US Dollar.

Or

2 - Create a new currency and dumping the Naira altogether.

And when 2 happens, Even Dangote will be reduced from a Billionaire to a Millionaire.

Since cbn has been devaluing naira what have we achieved? Osibanjo should just don't say anything if he has nothing better to say. Fx speculative activities are what is lowering the value of the naira. Cbn should review domiciliary account operation in Nigeria. Many Nigerians now bank in foreign currencies because domiciliary accounts.

Why will he do that to a dilapidated naira that is devalued already. I think he should make efforts by making sure all measures are exhausted to project naira to be appreciated with other global currency.
