To make our currency worthless is part of the game by imperialists to keep the black Africans down in Nigeria perpetually. Oh yes, northern Nigeria people have ruled us in Nigeria to this comatose state. They have to obey what imperialist foreign powers want to enable them keep black man in Nigeria down.

Absolutely correct @amagunnerfan. When one comes to Nairaland, you have to remember one thing :- "Opinions are like arse-holes, everybody has one". Most times when you read what passes for reasoning on Nairaland, you just wonder whether it is Nairaland or Nigeria as a whole that has a bigger distribution of arse-holes in its population than would normally be the case.

Well, Nigerian economy was not relatively dependent on crude export. There were still many agricultural products being exported. Moreover, Naira was just introduced a decade earlier. Hence the stability. 2 Likes |

While this is factual, it is not exactly what you think it is.
The Naira was never strong by its own merits, or by the "vibrancy" or "economic diversity" of Nigeria.
The introduction of the Naira in 1973 simply piggy-backed off of the Pound, which was Nigeria's currency at the time and derived its value directly from the British Pound.
So, it started out with false strengths, and as true economic elements that determine currency value started to play out, it went on a consistent decline from 1973 till date. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Naira shall reach N1000 to $1 soon.
Stability in a country makes for stability of the country's currency.
Political instability in Nigeria is because the three major ethnic groups in the country have diverse value systems and aspirations and the divisions between them deepen every new day.
Crude oil proceeds keep the political class togetherness.
Suffering becomes the party of the large majority of the population who can't be provided by the political class. |

Now go on and defend your boss. In other words, for development of Nigeria, your heart, soul, feet, mind, head, even the scrotum, are all tied up to cheap cash from crude oil. How good do you treat the people and land from the SS and SE regions where you get the cheap cash from crude oil? You use the oil revenues to first develop other parts of Nigeria outside the SS and SE, and leave destruction and underdevelopment in the oil producing areas. Not even pliable roads are affordable in the SS and SE while the northern region graduated from durable motorways to Standard Gauge Railway Lines costing $1.05 billion. You are yet to diagnose the disease of Nigeria going down day after day. Continue on your path to denial. 1 Like |

Le shoeless was producing more oil and was selling for more than Buhari, almost 4 times more. Got us into debt to the ton of over $5 billion. Depleted the reserve from $47. 7 billion to $38.2 billion and this is despite selling our crude for more and without militrants unrest.
Now go on and defend your boss. Keep posting crap. Were you not in Nigeria when governors took GEJ to court because he refused to share the money in excess crude oil account ? That money would have been our saving grace, but they forced him to share it and now you're heaping blames on him. Since GEJ is the major cause of our problems, what has your silly president done? He has refused to negotiate with the militants and because of his actions/inactions, he has made things even more difficult for Nigerians. Stop blaming Jonathan, he's no longer our president. |
