The question no one wants to ask is why did the reserve go down to $41 billion during October 2018? Was it used to fund the election? what is the emergency situation that could have warranted the removal of $3 billion from the reserve. Buhari is fighting corruption indeed. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mysticgal:Who is interested in macro economic indices I am concerned about the value of the money in my pocket and the quality of life I can live as a Nigerian citizen. Good roads, affordable healthcare, health insurance, mortgage, schooling for my kids, social welfare, job security, effective policing, swift justice system, etc., Why should I care what our foreign reserves are, if we're not making headway in all these areas that make life worth living in Nigeria. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Prompto: They did not say 44billion for the first time in Nigeria's History....they said for the first time since January this year. It is not a Buhari effect or whatever. The foreign reserve even during GEJ rose to 40+ billion...it rises, we spend, it depletes. Under Buhari too, it has risen to 40+ before and depleted too. There is no special news here....how does this directly/indirectly translate to making life better for the common man or a better economy or a better NIGERIA?? Stop grasping at straws!!! When we start feeling the positive effect of this government, we will all applaud it, we are all Nigerians and regardless of our political affiliation, we all hope for a better country...but don't jump on this like it means anytin or its somtin new. 2 Likes |

IjebuWarrior:But it was a hell of money when a so called "hero of democracy" depleted our foreign reserve to the tune of $29B as at May 2015 even when oil sold at it highest for almost 4yrs. Is it still surprising why many never knew why Nigeria plunged into recession? 5 Likes 2 Shares |

contigiency: Imagine if you visited a palatial house in Banana Iisland, Iloyi and you were blown away by large ensuute rooms, the 4 no. sitting rooms, the imported furniture., the Olympic size swimming pools and so on. You find out the house is worth a billion naira. You said to yourself, "One day I will be like this man" The next day, you had a chance meeting with the man's accountant. You praise the man's wealth to high heavens. The accountant chuckles and said "all na for show. The man no get money" He now tells how money he has borrowed money from banks, refuses to pay, that he's been taken to court and plan on seizing the house anytime soon. That if he is not careful, he may be going to prison for fraud for up to 15 years that he did abandoned a fully paid project after only carrying no more than 10% of it. Would you still want to be like the rich man? I'm sure you'll say no. The reason why you'll say no is that you now see things from 2 different angles. Likewise for Buhari, you need to see things from 2 angles. One angle are the projects being carried out. Another angle is what are the numbers saying. That you do not readily see. The numbers are nothing to write home about. The economy has barely grown more than 1% per annum on average since he assumed power. Last year, it grew by only 1.9%. What does a 1.9% growth rate mean. The country's population is growing by 2.5% yearly. That means growth in real terms was negative by 0.6%. That means per capita income fell last year. The country needs to grow by 7% to create enough jobs to cater for those entering the labour force every year. From 1999 -2013, the economy grew by 6% yearly. The country's public debt is growing very fast. It was 12% of GDP in 2015 but now 22% OF GDP. By 2023, it may touch 30%. Presently, debt servicing gobbles more than 60% of the budget. The projects you are seeing are mostly paid for through borrowed funds. It is unsustainable. I'm apolitical. I'm neither APC or PDP. They are basically the same. Just saying it as it is Read some of the economic threads I started. 1 Like |

When do you ever hear countries like USA or other advanced countries talking about external reserve. You hand your money over to foreugn banks to keep fir you and they use the money to do business and develop their own country. Stupid Africans cant think.of ways of breakingvaway from western traps. |
