A friend of mine recently tried to get PTA for travel. With all the long leg and even offers of monetary inducement, no one could get dollar for her. "Order from above."

I recently tried to move money from a dorm account for international payments; my bank had no dollar to give. Had to find someone abroad who needed naira help me pay.


As of August 1, all international payments with your naira Mastercard has been blocked: you can't buy anything online valued in dollars.

My friends, Nigeria's economy is sinking. People who haven't been abroad lately or don't do international business don't have an idea how bad things are.

We need to save our economy.

Let's not sell our votes over ethnic and religious rivalry.

"It's the economy, stupid" was Clinton's strategy to win the elections in 1992 and till today, votes are cast on that basis.

This is not about tribe: it's apparent that the only candidate that has an idea of the dire economic situation is Peter Obi.

Someone who didn't bribe with dollars like the other candidates who did and contributed immensely to this current dollar scarcity and bad economic state, is definitely a better offer.

Ask post world war 2 Germany what a failed economy is like. Bread can sell for as high as 1 million naira.

Ask Zimbabwe. We're playing with our future!

Spoilt the whole write up with nonsense vote for Peter Obi, he didn’t bribe in dollars, then how was he able to quit pdp & in less than 1 week get the Labor Parry presidential candidate ticket?

Or you want to convince me that The Labor Parry members are not Nigerians?

Obi is as much a corrupt politician as the others, that's the bitter truth

I'm sorry about spoiling it but the situation in this country is dire. You're going to need dollars one day. Tried a simple £49 transaction today which failed. We're not producing, not exporting so out naira is almost valueless outside the shores of Nigeria.

I'm just looking for someone who is intelligent enough to help the economy.

And healthy enough.

We can't be playing with our lives like this.
