Wrong wrong wrong. Between 2014 and May 2015 Oil had infact dropped from over $120 to about $40, yet the value of the Niara during that time remained relatively stable. GEJ had a top class economic team in place and they were quietly able to weather the storm without the Niara taking a hit. The big drop in the currency has all taken place in the last few months. So please answer me this, how come when oil fell from $130 to £50 the Niara did not crash, yet now it's fallen from $50 to $30 we have a crash??

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time, one day Nigerians will come to realize that Ngozi and her team were THE BEST ECONOMIC MANAGERS Nigeria has ever had bare none.

I'm fine.
I was meditating this morning, and I felt this surge of love and excitement course through me for everything living; for everyone.
and I started reliving everyone whom I had something against (virtual & real life), I saw myself imagining they were before me, blessing and wishing them well.

I had this impulsive thought to reach out, so I paused my exercise, reached out, then continued.

I saw a post you made about being humanitarian, you're human afterall, and a kind one at that.
#Bless

What so many people miss is that while GEJ govts was of course corrupt (BTW EVERY SINGLE GOVT IN OUR HISTORY HAS BEEN CORRUPT) he did manage to have some very good people in key positions. Ngozi, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina and Ms. Arunma Oteh have gone on to get top international appointments. These people among others quietly worked in the background to help keep things stable while the corruption was going on.
Zombies have been insulting Ngozi, yet she kept the economy stable during the steepest part of the oil price crash. The current Finance minister seems to be completely clueless. For goodness sake the woman was talking about how she was going to go to the bond market to borrow money to finance the budget of yams!!

How bad do things have to get before Buhari understands we are in an economic emergency

Iroh88:
Some people are simply too dumb or too emotional to accept the truth. This is just fact. Had we diversified our economy, the effect of the plunge in oil price would have been this drastic. Even bigger economies than Naija who are dependent on oil export are feeling the heat.

Here, PDP supporters are overly excited not realising the failure is attributable to the failure of their party over the years, especially in the last six years where oil sold for record prices but no buffers were put in place to bolster the strength of our currency in an event there's a fall in the price of crude.

Rather, they turned the dollar to their preferred medium of exchange, using it to buy everyday goods, pay for services, finance campaigns, and bribe people- the naira was ditched like an unfaithful girlfriend. Today, the same people responsible for the mess are those Wailing the most.

I hope it hits N1000 mark, then we'd see how much more excited they would get.

Thank you. It is good to note Nigerians like you still exist in a time many are acting like little children who are insisting daddy must buy them a bicycle while childishly refusing to accept that the fact that daddy cannot provide this when he has no money in his pocket. Personally i am fed up of some Nigerians and their unreasonable outlook. Imagine asking the man who got us in this position to come back and finish us off. Some Nigerians are very sadistic while others are simply ignorant. As if the slide in value of the Naira started today and not under GEJ. The sadists and self-harming ignoramuses asking for GEJ back should remind us the President who failed to diversify our economy away from a dependence on oil when that is now a non-negotiable priority of the current government.

They should show us what GEJ did to revive and grow a moribund SME sector. We also need to know why GEJ failed to save for the rainy day, such as the downpour we are now experiencing, when oil sold for more that $100.00 dollars for most of the 5 years he was president. We would also like to know why GEJ had zero impact on developing critical infrastructure like power, transport et al when those are pivotal to the optimal socio-economic development of any nation. Is it the proliferation of rampant and unchecked Boko Haram terror under GEJ that we want to return? Do GEJ fans assume we are all sadists who want to see the return of a man revelations show was nothing but a morally bankrupt individual who supervised the hideously large scale looting of Nigeria's commonwealth as has never been seen before? Sometimes you simply just have to wonder if some Nigerians, even if they are enemies of their nation, are for real because it take a very evil kind of wickedness to be asking for the return of GEJ.

playboy99:
u are 1 of them.when d oil waz 100plus who was incharge? The question you should be asking was did they save for a day like this and with the best economic team why didnt they diversify the economy then.sorry i forgot they would have done that if they had won the election.

Lol. We all are. Just hate it when folks around here, including yourself , make me say things I know I could never say to anyone in the real world.

Deep down, I regret saying those things but I refuse to apologise because around here, apologies are seen as signs of weakness, defeat, and submission.

After my thread in the romance section, some comments made me do some deep introspection, and I resolved it was best I went back to "myself".

Hard as it may be given how provocative most comments directed at one could be, I'd try to keep my lid intact. It is the least I could do now.

Per the rice, go to a supermarket to get some groceries and there was this beggar in a wheelchair by the entrance. Ignored him when I was going in but when I came out, I called him and asked him if he cooks at him and he replied in the affirmative. Gave him the bag and ooooh, how grateful he was. . The look on his face was priceless and that made me feel somewhat fulfilled.

Indeed, nothing surpasses the joy one gets from charity.

The emboldened caught my attention first.
If I've learned anything penultimate 2016, it's that Politics has a way of turning even the most cultured and civil to something else entirely.

But then again, a Yoruba adage has it that "if it were never in me, nothing will make me manifest it.
So perchance, this board is meant to bring out the worst in us, so that light can take over completely.

Having passed through this place and allowing it pass through me, I cannot begin to express the manner of being I'm becoming. I don't comment much lately because I lost the flair to talk on NL, but I'm in a much better place and look forward to beginning the next major phase of my life's journey.

I've learned compassion here, and to see everyone as an extension of me. I lost my inner child and then I regained it more.
Gosh

You shouldn't be ashamed to say sorry when there is a need to joor.
Agreed, the ego comes in and all that, but then


I do agree with you totally, nothing beats that feeling of helping others, especially those whom you know could not possibly pay you back, even if they desire(d) to.

Per the rice, got to a supermarket to get some groceries two days ago and saw this beggar in a wheelchair by the entrance. Ignored him when I was going in but when I came out, I called him and inquired if he cooks at home and he replied in the affirmative. Gave him the bag and ooooh, how grateful he was. . The look on his face was priceless and that made me feel somewhat fulfilled.

The learned illiterate you quoted forgot that Buhari can send a bill on True federalism and encourage his Northern colleagues to join their Southern Colleagues to enthrone true federalism through the law.

Recently Sir!

The naira tumbled further significantly at the parallel market on Thursday, hitting 391 against the dollar as foreign exchange scarcity continues to batter the economy of Africa’s largest oil exporter. The currency has entered a free-fall mode against the dollar at the black market, having lost 26 per cent of its value in less than two weeks. The naira had exchange for one dollar at 372 on the streets of Lagos, Abuja and other major cities on Wednesday. The local currency, which closed at 310 against the greenback last Monday, has been falling consistently and significantly in the past 11 days. Forex dealers and financial experts linked the persistent fall of the naira to panic buying of the dollar and other major hard currencies by importers, individuals and businessmen. Bureaux De Change operators in Marina, Ikeja and Apapa and Abuja told our correspondent on Thursday that there were no signs yet that the rising demand for forex especially.

Even OBAMA cannot save the naira talk more of JONATHAN. We failed to diversify our economy on time. the problem nigeria is facing nw is world wide and is affecting every country that its economy is financed through oil money,

HiddenShadow:


Keep deceiving yourself. What stops Buhari from diversifying the economy through true federalism

naijaking1:


Buhari is not both, but he can sit his emaciated ass down in Abuja and do some work for once, and stop travelling all over the World while our country burns economically.
He can appoint an expert to run our economy, and not try to inject his semi-illiterate ideas and principles on how the economy is run.

Dojupyo:
This is not a matter of Ex.President Goodluck Jonathan returning to the seat or Buhari staying or leaving..
We want a diligent fellow as the president, one who has focus and doesn't fight corruption alone.. One who can fulfill all promises..
Is Buhari the right man? If yes, what has he done in the past 8months..
We should be truthful to ourselves, Le temp files(time flies), before you could close your eyes and open them, 2019 is there already..
Say the truth and shame the devil, abeg
