Previous budgets have been very weak on capital expenditure.

I will not approve devaluation, no matter what - PMB

I need to be convince for me to consider devaluation of naira

PMB 2015

A man of conviction.

He's not willing to devalue the naira.

PMB making sense ooo

SOMEONE SHOULD PLEASE TRANSLATE WHAT THIS ILLITERATE IS SAYING.

Why are they not asking him to explain the economic policy of his CBN governor with regards to ATMs and its imparts on the naira and the economy.?
Why are they not asking him questions on the general job loss in the country due to lack of forex and what he is trying to achieve?
How would he deal with the threat of foreign airlines to vacate Nigeria next year?
Nigerian cities were recently invaded by benin republic. What was Nigeria's response?
What is the FG govt plan to contain the Fulani cattle menance?
These are the questions that should be asked. Will hijab and whatnots put food on the table of Nigerians?

Haba Buhari Deutschemark no dey again na Euro Germany dey use for many years now!!!!!!

GenWOJUOLA:
