Obi is just a trader. He said so himself. He just reels out often disputed statistics to impress the simpleton. He cited Argentina to sound knowledgeable cos it was the hot topic back then cool

Mr Obi is the least impressive of the potential major presidential candidates.

He rarely says anything on the economy that comes from original thinking.

He said we should copy Argentina. We should copy Indonesia. We should copy this and that.

Now that Mr Tinubu has applied his own original policies and steadied the economy to global acclaim, Mr Obi has gone quiet on his Argentina advice.
You picked on Obi and left Atiku because of your perceived and natural hatred for him. Has your Tinubu done better to improve the living standard of Nigerians since 2023? The state of the currency does not always define how well the economy is doing. Until now, the Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen were among the lowest in rates around the early 2000's. Their economy wasn't as bad as that of Nigeria today. Are the Argentines crying miserably like Nigerians today?

Obi remains the nightmare of you guys, just like the devil trembles at the mention of Jesus. Truly, light will always drive away darkness because darkness comprehends it not, and it shall continue to be so.

He actually said FG should adopt the Argentina Economic reforms. Although he was talking about poverty when he hinted that, but he did actually said so, and not that Nigeria should learn from ARGENTINA'S mistake

Trunp gave them 40 billion dollars for free just a few months ago.

Keep deceiving yourself that they performed a miracle.
He is doing well that why Trump gave them the dough.

Stop twisting OBI statements this is exactly what he said.

“In Argentina, over 52% of its population lived in poverty by early 2024 according to the World Bank, with millions of Argentines unable to meet basic needs. Inflation was above 200%, and economic confidence had collapsed. Yet, within two years, through decisive action to cut waste in governance and prioritize economic stability,” Obi said.

“The newly inaugurated president was able to cut down the poverty rate to 38.1% from 52% in just 2 years and extreme poverty fell to 8.2%, with inflation just around 2–3% monthly.

Unless you’re quoting alien rates even the parallel market is below N1,450 now while official rates dipped to N1,370.

So I ask you where you got your own rates for 2025?

Atiku and his younger brother
The funny thing is if indeed BAT followed their suggestions and things became worse they will be the first to castigate him and deny they ever gave such advice .

Look how they backtracked about fuel subsidy .
Re: Argentinian Pesos Per US Dollar, Three Years Ago And Now by Teymanhenry(f): 9:48am On Feb 08
DeOTR:
Perhaps you have another alternative to subsidy removal when the nation is running on debt, our source of revenue is selling for half the price it used to be 10 years with more mouths to feed? Have you ever run a successful business? We should not remove subsidy? Are you the one that'll be paying it from your pocket?
Instead of you guys to ensure we force these people to stop spending recklessly, you want us to continue paying subsidy.
You probably choose to ignore where I mentioned that our leadership failed to improve Nigerians’ standard of living. If subsidy removal had come with visible economic benefits, people would accept and wouldn't complain of the higher fuel price.

This country will only truly progress when citizens vote based on competence, not party, tribe, or religion and hold leaders accountable for results.

Re: Argentinian Pesos Per US Dollar, Three Years Ago And Now by Therokstar(m): 10:28am On Feb 08
Facts speaks.
Argentina's milei Government is performing much better than Nigeria's Tinubu:

Milei's libertarian agenda focused on drastic spending cuts, deregulation, and inflation control.

Inflation dropped dramatically from 211% annually in 2023 to around 31% by early 2026, with monthly rates as low as 2.1% in late 2025.

He achieved Argentina's first budget surplus in 14-16 years (1.8% of GDP in 2024).
The IMF projects 4.5% GDP growth for 2026, the highest in Latin America.

Poverty fell from a peak of 52.9% to 31.6-38.1% by mid-2025, aided by lower import costs and a record $18.9 billion trade surplus in 2024.

Some of you speak out of ignorance. The currency is just one aspect of the economy, The Argentine reforms is a modern day miracle.
Modern Argentina is the best example of how to turn a nation around in just 3 years. On the other hand, your brother Tinubu has destroyed the Nigerian economy to its worst outcomes ever. More poverty than ever before, more indebted than ever before, less manufacturing than ever before, and more insecurity that ever before.

Argentina on the other hand has greatly reduced it's deficit, inflation, it has become a capital magnet, it has reduced government spending in boasted private sector investment.
Please study and compare the 2 economies before your next comment on the matter.

Obi didn’t say copy Argentina’s inflation.

If the peso collapsing is your only evidence, then you’ve accidentally proven why his advice was sound because your Tinubu's economy is mimicking Argentina, not fixing it.
Hasn't Okonji-Iweala and Charles Soludo not praised the Nigerian economic reforms?

Didn't she the economy is stabilising?

I am not interested in Argentina.

How has President Tinubu steadied the economy?
You probably may have noticed some improvement in the value of Naira. Well, news flash: The greenback value has dipped 11% percentage.
The primary causes for the weakness were multiple interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and economic uncertainty surrounding tariff policies.
Just get that Straight. Naira hasn’t improved. Rather it’s the dollar value that has declined against international currencies.
I hope this helps. And I want Tinubu’s administration to succeed. His success means Nigeria’s success.
Having said that, we need to be factual and honest in our appraisal.
