That is one of the stupidest utterances in this election if it is true.

Does this Buhari not understand inflation? He obviously doesn't understand a thing about GDP or the economy...

barcanista:
So did he achieve it before he left office as CBN Gov? See how you betray yourself. Soludo, a CBN boss "said" but he never did anything.

barcanista:
When he becomes President of Chatham House

See achieving appreciation of a country's currency has to do with many factors most especially the demand for that currency. You also have to work on inflation, strenghten local production on goods and services to rely, Export more and reduction of import, fiscal and monetary policies and several others. Don't forget attitude of the citizens on the naira and kobo plays a lot. It is not achieved via magic but via process. For Buhari to say what he said means something is wrong.

@ibietela2:
Will you shut that hole in your face. How does the quote below imply making Naira=Dollar?



This is exactly the sharia propaganda and PDP believe that repeating it will make it truthful. As 2015 Failure slap Jonathan down to Bayelsa, your desperation is overflowing its bounds.

bdidi:


But he never said he was a politician......He said he was a civil servant.

That is what is in the INEC form he filled....That is why he feels he can achieve it.

Meanwhile his case is in the court

zendy:


Don't mind Buhari. The man has no agender for Nigeria. He thinks the Nigerian economy is the same as rearing cattle? Will he wave a magic wand and command the Dollar to be at per with the Naira? Does Buhari realise the seismic shift needed in economic policy to peg a countries currency one to one with the Dollar? This is a man who only talks about what he will do when he comes to office but not how he will do it. These are not military times and Buhari is an outdated specie.

he looks like someone who wrote the last jamb. I can't be arguing with such na. Its degrading

Aswear d way u anti Buhari fellas talk ehn, makes me rest assured that something is very very wrong with you guys. You keep ranting about Buhari not able to change anything if elected and stuff, my question is this would u now prefer to go ahead with the present government who brought us into this mess in the first place? What future do u see for Nigeria u guys?
Everything left by d previous presidents have been squandered or stollen and GEJ has no scape goat to show for it.
Do you guys know how powerful and transparent EFCC n ICPC were bfr Now? Where are dey now, who have dey prosecuted?
Befr GEJ there were the upper class, middle class and low class when we spoke about wealth in Nigeria... Now all there is is d very high class and d low class. D rich getting richer and d poor, we'll u know d rest.
I personally think anyone against Buhari is just selfish and does not have d good of Nigeria at heart.

I indulge all of us to remb our national Anthem and pledge.... Arise o compatriots, Nigeria is calling us right now, let us obey the voice of change.

God bless Nigeria.

Kokopos:
Please no one should give the General mic again until elections are over

TheGoodJoe:



Why are you talking like this?

The reason Prof. Soludo's plan did not work was because Justice Aondoakaa stopped it. Not that it was not doable. It was a project in motion.

For Gen. Buhari to say it, it shows someone is thinking of how to fix our deplorable economy. Not like GEJ who is breaking all records in corruption.


Please, tell GEJ to make the PWC Audit of the NNPC public before the election.

dustydee:

Good one. I am impressed. There are people who still read and strive to get facts before jumping to conclusion.

PapaBrowne:


Are you serious Your speech just gave you off as someone who lacks complete understanding of Economics>



Illiteracy no be moi moi oh!! Ha! So if someone tells you he will equate the value to the dollar you would just swallow it hook line and sinker??
What were you doing when others were attending Economics class??

For the Naira to be equal to the dollar, you would need to see our dollar reserve rate go to something like a trillion dollars!! Even with 20 years of 20% economic growth rate, we would probably not be there!!


Now the bigger lesson for you is that a very strong Naira is not good for our country especially if you want to produce goods and export competitively..
Now let me explain that to you:
A bag of Dangote cement sells for 1500 Naira.
When the dollar was 160 Naira, that bag of cement was equal to $9.
At the new rate of 215 Naira, that same bag of cement is now equal to $7.
That means if Dangote wants to sell his cement in Albania, he has a better price point than he would have had 5 months ago.

Now imagine the Naira is exchanging at 5 Naira to a dollar.
That same bag of cement would now be equal to $300. Where on planet earth would he be able to sell his bag of cement at that price??

Any country that desires to produce and export to the rest of the globe, prays for a weaker currency to allow its goods better pricing amongst competitors. If Buhari understands economics, he will never pray for a very strong Naira except of course he wants us to keep importing everything!!

theoctopus:


Which mess did the present government bring you into? Were you born yesterday? Did Nigeria just become bad? Some of you talk too much nonsense, Are you ok?

Princecalm:
This is someone that understands the economy speaking and not the clueless one who keeps Naira unstable.

wakacome:
Yes as boring as your common sense.

barcanista:
Firstly, Aadonakaa was the "Justice Minister", a lawyer and not a Justice or Judge. Secondly, Soludo was CBN Boss between 2004 and 2009. Aaondokaa was Justice Minister between 2007 to 2010 February. That means he only became Minister 3years after Soludo was appointed CBN boss. So what magic did Soludo do under Obj? In fact, do you know the level of damage that Soludo did to our Financial and Banking/Insurance Sector? You guys should stop thinking we are fools.

ibietela2:


Do not talk to me like a bushman

Demdem:


Dont be ridicoulous. tell me just one person that enters office and does all what he promises or stated he/she will do.
Besides, if the powers that be especially the president at that time doesnt agree to it, there is no way the CBN would have gone ahead.
he said it and the soludo i know wont say if he doent mean business.
