So Yoruba and Fulanis think they own Nigeria? My pain is not about the ibos, but the fact that in Nigeria those that are not yoruba or Fulanis are second class citizens. This means a man from Delta cannot contest for presidency even if he's qualified. See what happened to Jonathan because he's from Bayelsa.

My anger against Yorubas is they like to be slaves to Fulanis. This is always my grouse against them. I'm from minority. And Nigeria is all we have. These northerners have destroyed the country and we keep rotating power btw Yorubas n Fulanis. No wonder that lady was angry with the queen. If not for British interest, Biafra should have succeeded and allowed Yorubas to be a**licking Fulanis. I prefer it. So that Fulanis deal with them

AllDModsAreMaad:


At least you responded politely...

Do you think the import restrictions on cement is well thought out?
What is the benefit to ordinary Nigerians?
Don't you think it favors just the companies owners and not the masses because it would have made the prices of those goods cheaper compared to the exploitation people are currently facing.

You are talking about indomie, compare the prices of noodles when the sector had no restrictions to this period.

Just tell yourself the truth, what is the benefit to ordinary Nigerians OR are the prices after better than the prices prior to the restrictions?

What Nigeria needs is selective restrictions for some sectors and open market for some sectors.
I guess you are comfortable with the present pricing of the current set of Telcos, Cement companies, rice, sugar, etc?

Sectors with high prices(big players, big industries etc) should be make unrestricted to give room to competition which may give rise to lowering of prices, and sectors that are majorly occupied by start-ups, SMEs should be restricted to allow them grow, just as other reasonable leaders are doing in other countries.

This is not a rocket science, remove the hatred and political differences and you will understand what Peter Obi said very well.

I haven't heard the audio bt amosun and shettima's voice are very easy to detect so this shouldn't be hard at all. I don't expect an Apc source to agree it is them.

verified and professional Independent sources can handle this.

A voice note isn't my problem.

My problem is that a presidential candidate wants to remove import restrictions in Nigeria.

Like what the Bleep?

Within 2 months of such stupid policy the dollar reserve in the central bank will be empty.

Millions of employees will lose their jobs.

Even people that produce biscuit will close their factories.

It's scary in this e-commerce era where I can order for 1 million crates of eggs abroad, 200,000 cartons of frozen chicken online, and throw poultry farmers into joblessness.

Nigeria will suffer the worst balance of payment deficit ever known to humanity.

Wow. Just wow!

The price of dollars in the Nigerian money market is high because of scarcity of dollars.

If Dangote produces his cement in Nigeria in Naira and pays its workers in Naira and you buy in Naira, no dollar is lost in Nigeria.

If Dufil produces indomie in Nigeria in Naira and pays its workers in Naira and you buy indomie in Naira, no dollar is lost in Nigeria.

Importation of cement or indomie means that you will lose hundreds of millions of dollars annually, that can be used for other things, to buy the same cement and noodles that could have been produced in Nigeria without you losing that amount of dollars.

Importation reduces dollars in the economy thereby making the Naira lose its value consistently.

This is the simplest topic in economics.

nedekid:

Funny you, as I said earlier let's stick to what we know.
The fact that boarders were closed, imprortation of eg rice, turkey and the rest was banned, has it increase local production and made the price of those items reduce? Has it in anyway stopped the devaluation of the naira since those items have been banned and no forex allocated for importation?
7 year ago when those items could be imported, how much was rice, turkey etc and how much was the dollar to naira. Now it has been banned how much is rice etc and how much is the dollar?
You were importing 7 years ago rice 3500 a sack , dollar ₦150. You banned, rice 35k dollar 750! No be juju be that?
Stupid policies!
I wanted to import a truck with my money sources from abroad, shipping will cost 2500 pounds, clearing ₦1.5m.
Now they told ee new gov policy is that you cannot load items in the booth of the truck to offset your shipping cost. That you must load such items in a container. So in short I will ship a whole truck empty and pay full shipping. On the short term, a civil servant thinks he is making money for gov, but a knolegable person knows that getting taxes from 1000 trucks imported is better than now when only 50 will come in at same time. Last week they said good worth billions are abandoned at the ports, cars etc because after clearing them they can not be sold at market prices, so better to cut cost by abandoning them.
Wise on the short term but silly on the long term.

VeeVeeMyLuv:

No.... the round tripping of fx is responsible for that.

What about people monopolizing fx at the moment? They get it at will.

Mind you, for strange reasons, the policy is also affecting incoming FX (diaspora remittances and those earning FX through work online) they have been frustrated lately. What do u hv to say about that?

What about leaders and followers losing faith in the country, spending scarce FX to educate their children in advance countries, buy properties over there, go for vacation there, go for medical tourism for something as slight as headache? No b the same scarce $$$ them dey spend for flight ticket and the other stuffs. Import is not the main problem.

Same gulf countries also import alot too (nearly all of their food), they are oil producing like Nigeria too. Yet their currency value remained powerful standing kamkpe like a Colossus. Case in point, 1 Kuwaiti dinar = 1300 naira!

So why must Nigeria case always be different why?

Oga Abeg no give me headache this morning.

Tejuri:


Round tripping alone cannot cause the alarming fall of the dollar. The Gulf countries are small population wise, and produce a lot more oil than Nigeria. I doubt we are even in the 10 oil producers in the world, plus we have 200 million people to share that meager oil earnings. That money cannot go far.

The alleged Audio Conversation between APC VP Candidate Kashim Shettima and Ibikunle Amosun has been checked to be fake.

According to the two reliable sources below, it was gathered that the audio Conversation originally came out in the year 2017.

Kindly look into the reliable information I got from [url=https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2017/06/13/amosun-reacts-forged-audio-conversation-shettima/%3famp=1]Daily Post[/url] and PR NIGERIA.

The policy cannot affect diaspora remittances and people and remote workers. If you have a dom account, receive your remittance/remote work pay there. Look for Bureau de change with a dom account in the same bank you use, most banks won’t let you withdraw dollars but you can do a transfer. You aboki pays you black market rate in naira. Problem solved.

Refresh your memory

The first sentence means you can import as you like and get enough dollars to import whatever you want without restriction.

aariwa:
The audio is old and it has been on Nairaland front page twice. I think Amosun recorded around 2017. Shettima never denied he said that. That’s his voice . He talks like somebody who has catarrh and that’s Amosun baritone voice

Osasjohne:
This is disinformation.

The voice recording is not fake. It was the real voice of Amosun and Shettima. It has been on the Internet since 2015 and none of them has denied the fact ever since.

Fact check on nairaland is beimg mischievous. Probably, it's been bribed to change the facts.

It is not fake... That's real conversation, there was video then before they deleted. Shettima said all those things he said about igbos.

I am not an igbo person, i am from adamawa state and i knew when they had this conversation. Shettima been kanuri terrorist, he is doing everything to become president by making sure Tinubu die on the throne of presidency and he will automatically becomes the president.

If anyone like, let him or her vote for them. Me and my family, we will be watching you people from kelmajaro mountain in Cameroon.
