This is very stupid from Eluu Pee Tinubu said Naira equivalent of 100k USD. Probably for the foreign based players and the international community to have a better in of the reward. Even in football transfers in Europe they still use dollars.

So you think Trump would say Pesso equivalent for the foreign born player in US team?

Or Keir Starmer would say the naira equivalent for the foreign born player in their team?

You are a Bloody HATING juvenile..

He didn't fail as governor of Lagos...

How old were you then?

Dis you live in Lagos

Let's assume you are right that he did well in Lagos, how come 100000 dollars is about 150 million naira under him?

i knew we are finished the moment Remi Tinubu that has no constitutional job starts donating 1 billion naira recklessly

Did you say the same thing when Buhari asked patient Jonathan to lend the Covid people her 20 million pound hotel for shelter?? Have you read remi’s profile?

Few years ago,one could spend the naira to buy stuff when crossing the west African borders from Lagos to seme to Lome to the one at Lome/Ghana....traders are always eager to accept the naira.

But today,it's such a different story.
Not too long ago,a man was arrested for bringing in some hard currencies he didn't declare,dollars and guess what,CFA!!!


When people speak the truth and reality,hypocrites will call you ipob, unpatriotic etc.

Can u ever support any thing good in dis life?

Shame did not let ur president open mouth mention #150m because dey have succeeded in killing d currency patapata finish!

Wat is bad is bad, stop supporting evil!

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu is a terrible leader if he can't live by example of patronizing Nigerian made goods over foreign products.

The national assemble under APC akpabio leadership bought for themselves over one thousand luxury Toyota SUVs with money that would have made naira stronger if they had patronise made in Nigeria cars like Governor of Abia state, Alex Otti and soludo did by patronizing made in Nigeria cars for themselves over foreign made cars.

A leader should lead by example but I know that's not in tinubu dictionary .

Lol if you want to worship Mediocrity do that with full chest Otti uses Chevrolet....

100k dollars for winning a trophy for real...

So technically over 2 billion naira was splash !!!
We joke alot in this country

emkz:
Tinubu sometimes says things to give the opposition opportunities to demonstrate their ignorance. Tinubu said the girls would be gifted the naira equivalent of $100,000.

LP reads that they were given $100,000.

This is why they can't understand the basics of conflict resolution.

Why should he even say it in the first place, knowing fully well the impact this has on the economy?

Kemetian:
Do you know Nigeria was spending billions of dollars a year to prop up the naira?

Does your region produce even 1 million dollars a year to pay for that?

The Naira is its True Value now.

To make it stronger, you buy Made in Nigeria.

When you see Aba made shoes, don't laugh and choose Italian made.

Because you pay for that in dollars or Euros.

When you walk into a shop to buy a wristwatch and you see a Nigerian made watch and a Swiss watch, buy the Nigerian made watch.

That is how you raise the value of your currency.

The more demand for a particular currency to pay for goods and services, the higher the value of the currency.

That's how it works. You don't force it.

If you don't use naira for major purchases of Made in Nigeria goods, but prefer imports, you can never have a high valued currency.

All Tinubu did was bring you back to reality.

The other day I posted a thread on how Nigerian women spend nearly a billion dollars every year on imported dog hair from Brazil.

If they decided to make indigenous hairstyles and braids, plaits trend, that could create 5 million new jobs for local hair stylists, and raise the naira value. Multiply that by other sectors.The naira value would rise in value overnight.

You are your own worst enemies, not Tinubu.

You are probably standing there dressed head to toe in imported gear - jeans t shirt, sneakers. None made in Nigeria.

Yet you expect high naira value. How?

Go to China today and present a Chinese man on the street with two pairs of shoes, one pair made in China, the other made in Italy. He will choose the one made in China, even though he knows the Italian one is of 'better quality' (supposedly).

When you understand why he did that, and apply such logic to yourselves, you will see your Naira value rise naturally as a matter of course.

Leadership by example, practice what you preach

Putinofrussia:
If failure is Lagos becoming the 3rd Economy in Africa beating 51 nations like Ghana,Cameroon etc,Nigerians love that kind of failure sir.

Lagos is not the third largest economy in Africa. How can Lagos be the third when Nigeria of which Lagos is under is ranked the 4th largest economy in Africa?

Dear Reno O'Mockery, all these things you pointed out doesn't negate the fact that Tinumbu has no business in Aso Rock. He only came to steal and to destroy

Is Tinubu Nigeria?

Of what impact is what he buys compared to what 250 million people decide to buy?

The problem with you lot is that you've made the role of your ''leaders'' so paramount in your lives that there is no room for your own brains to think.

What stops You and today's youth from promoting Nigerian-made so as to shore up the Naira value?

You all have internet and social media. Why don't you use it for something fruitful?

Instead of looking for ''our leaders'' to blame for naira value, why not also be ''leaders'' and start a social media campaign to elevate indigenous hairstyles, and ditch Brazilian hair imports and imported bleaching creams?

Or promote indigenous fashion like light Dashiki over jeans and t-shirts?

Make it 'trend'?

These are mindset adjustments that can generate millions of new jobs and raise the Naira value, virtually overnight.

But no. Tinubu must magically raise the Naira value for you while you cover yourself in imports.

Keep waiting.

a leader should lead by example.

Imagine $100,000 is over N150 million naira in today's Nigeria under tinubu

How did this man became president sef ?

Someone that failed as Lagos state governor

Since non of ur fam are beneficiaries of this $100,000.Hence ur cry. Better go buy one 🚲 🚴‍♂️ and join bic 🏁 association. U go win yo own when pa OSELOKA become President in 2048

Are you saying that if Nigeria bans importation totally and everyone in Nigeria starts buying only local goods, 1NGN will become 1USD at some point?
What if trillions of Naira was excessively printed by politicians and converted to usd like the Government claim was done during the last regime? Do you think Naira will still be stronger if reckless printing is done? What you are suggesting is okay but it is like pouring water into a basket with holes. The citizens will be pouring the water(buying local goods) while politicians will be creating more holes(printing more money/embezzling what was earned)

That shows he is spending dollars in Aso Villa not Naira.

Reason why dollars is scarce and why he doesn't care whether Naira is worthless or not.

Anyone still backing this man is an enemy of Nigeria he has completely destroyed the country beyond redemption.

this long epistle of yours is unnecessary here. It should rather be directed at Tinubu and his family, Akpabio and his family, Wike and his family and the rest of them. Who goes for medical tourism abroad when there are hospitals here, wasting away foreign currencies? Who are the ones who would rather have their children school overseas when there are schools here? Who would rather import high end SUVs when there's IVM and the others? .....you know the answers to these but would rather heap blames on the common man. Na wa for you o!

Despite the fact that this Donation is very well deserved, President Tinubu’s decision to donate $100,000 to the Super Falcons in US dollars, rather than in Nigeria’s official currency, the Naira, is a glaring disrespect to the nation’s monetary identity. The recipients are Nigeria National players, not another Nation's. A leader should promote confidence in the local currency, especially at a time when the Naira struggles against inflation and devaluation. By choosing dollars over Naira, the president sends a message that even he lacks faith in Nigeria’s currency, further eroding public trust. If the government does not believe in the Naira, why should the citizens? Leadership begins with example, and this act undermines efforts to stabilize and dignify Nigeria’s Legal tender.

Lagos is not the third largest economy in Africa. How can Lagos be the third when Nigeria of which Lagos is under is ranked the 4th largest economy in Africa?

Lagos State's GDP is projected to reach N66.47 trillion in 2025, according to the Lagos State Government. This represents a growth from N54.77 trillion in 2024, with real GDP growth expected to be between 5.02% and 6.49%, according to Lagos State. The state's economy is also estimated to be $259 billion based on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), making it Africa's second-largest city economy after Cairo .

This is where you and the Olodo LP party got it wrong.
The President said the equivalent in naira which is approximately #153 million naira.
They are not going to give them dollar but naira.
L.P is a wicked party because they think that the money is too much.

Don't mind that useful idiot thinking he is making sense, presido and his lot are buying escalades, a330 jets, land cruisers and prados, £10m villas, dishing out $100k to these falcons, spending $39b of coastal road on paddy paddy arrangement where his son is a director, yet that dummy thinks what we buy is the cause of the naira falling to 1500.
That is the same way they came after those talking of the excesses of yaya bello only to find out when he left office how he plundered the state.
