I dont want to believe this. No, it cant be true.
That deliberately weakening your own currency to prevent your cotizens from travelling out for better education is a good policy? And this is coming from someone who spent nearly a decade studying abroad according to his CV.

I am sure his own children would not be in Nigerian schools

No, he did not say that. If he did then Nigerians should know that they have to do all they can to get these drunken ones off power.


treesun:
The Special Adviser to the President Bola Tinubu on Economic Matters, Tope Fasua, has said a weaker currency for the country was one of the best policies of the government.
Tope Fasua said the country’s currency’s low performance in comparison to other currencies has focused the attention of businesses on sourcing local raw materials.


In an interview with Arise TV on Monday night, Fasua noted that the current exchange rate has also stopped Nigerians from leaving the country for other countries.


Fasua argued that Nigeria has more students in the United States and the United Kingdom than most developed countries, not because the country’s education was totally bad but because of wrong choices. He said the weak Naira was also addressing it.

“I’m giving the advantage of making that currency weaker. Because now we’re focusing more on Naira and what Naira can do. We’re focusing more on what we can do ourselves. We’re focusing more on Nigerian raw materials. Many manufacturing companies have now started sourcing local raw materials rather than importing them.

“A lot of people aren’t traveling as many times as they would before. That’s one of the things, especially the middle class. And our middle class were special people. I mean, we assumed that we could travel five, six times on business class every year.

“How come Nigeria is the third or fourth country with the highest number of university students in the U.K. and the U.S. of all the countries in the world, we are rubbing shoulders with China with 1.4 or 1.5 billion people, we’re only 200 million people. That means that we’re putting so much money. It is not necessarily a failure of our education. It’s just aspiration. It’s aspiration,” he said.

The President’s Economic Adviser stressed that it was wrong for critics to assume the country would grow to be like Western nations that have been developing for years.

He emphasized that many Nigerians complaining of no work have decided not to work. According to him, the country has work for the citizens.

“The fact that we are rubbing shoulders and expecting that our economy and society will be at par with even the people that gave us colonization, who have had maybe 2,000 years of documented history. That means we have been preposterous. We’ve been preposterous, you know, because we can’t, your child cannot try and be you today. He has to learn and grow. And it’s also a matter of time.


“It’s good that the Naira has become weaker, but it has made us focus more. However, what we’re saying is that for those who are enterprising, for people who have work, who want to work, indeed, there’s work in this country. For those who want to work,” Fasua added.

The paid government lackey who urges Nigerians to celebrate the slow death of the national currency has chosen to avoid talking about the devastating effect such a national currency depreciation has on the economy of Nigeria which is so reliant on imported goods all bought and shipped to Nigeria with US greenback dollars, pounds sterling, euros or Chinese yen.

The government spokesman instead tries to exploit the quiescent loathing that the poor have for the rich in general, by urging the malnourished majority of Nigerians to joyously celebrate the fact that Nigeria's jet-setting wealthy class are no longer able to afford overseas holidays as often as they were taken in the past, due to the depreciation of the Nigerian naira currency.

The government spokesman hopes in vain that Nigeria's poor and vestigial middle-class demographic will be so busy jubilating about rich people's reduced frequency of overseas holiday jaunts, that they will fail to notice the fact that they are paying significantly more for everything they purchase that was not manufactured in Nigeria. The government spokesman hopes that Nigeria's poor will be so delighted to hear about mild inconveniences experienced by Nigeria's wealthy embezzlement class, that they will forget their hunger caused by the steep rise in FOOD prices also traceable to the naira currency's death throes now being witnessed.

The good thing about the bad Naira it is now profitable and enjoyable for Nigerians in diaspora to come home. Look at this year’s Derry December. I bet next year’s would even see more people come over.
That means they will be pumping more dollars to Nigeria if they're now coming home to detty December and before you know it, the price to travel to Nigeria will now increase for them

Make it 1 dollar to 50,000 naira, the weaker, the better.

For me until a sitting president not only sack individuals like this but held them in DSS custody and later charged for whatever treasonable offence they can come up with.

The mere meaning of weak currency is negative and bad enough for a layman to understand not to talk of someone in the position to defend the nation currency.

Rolls Royce riders are now riding Honda

Honda riders are now riding bicycle

Travellers are now trekking

That the legacy of the criminal cheesy
Did he tell you he sold the Rolls Royce? The fact is that he cannot afford to fuel many of those vehicles again. It is in Nigeria that people who have embezzled public funds in one way or the other have several expensive rides in their garages and use it to rub the face of the lower class. You can't try all these rubbish in UK, the monthly road tax and insurance you pay on vehicles will not even allow you to have many cars put in your garages.
