Lazy minded people,that refuse to fend for themselves,Mr President & Nigeria owes you nothing,charity they say begins at home,look more inward to your parents,they are probably the cause of your state of being?

Article 1(3) of the CBN Act 2007 states ‘In order to facilitate the achievement of its mandate under this Act…the Bank shall be an independent body in the discharge of its functions,” but not independent on the formation of policy,which is included in the Exclusive Legislative list,which is within the purview of The Federal Government.

Or can The Central Bank of Nigeria,just go and print money without the approval of the Federal Government?,what President Buhari gave is an executive order,any food importer that takes offense should challenge it at any Federal High Court,which they will definitely lose.

Maybe what you meant to say,is that the Federal Government cannot interfere with decisions made by The Monetary Policy Committee,i.e.,(interest rate).

This belief that "Mr President Andrew Nigeria owes you nothing" is the main reason Nigeria is like this. We don't expect anything from elected representatives. That's why a when a governor does a very small stretch of road, people beat drums and make merry, because such act is almost akin to charity. We don't expect anything from them. So why did we vote them in in the first place?

Look at the way the youth of a country is reasoning. That your president doesn't owe you anything. You don't find such inane statements in first world countries. No. The citizens expect so much from their elected leaders, that's why oftentimes they resign, if they can't meet up with you demands of the people, making way for other people who can deliver. It's not welfare mentalism. No. It's not like they won't work because they have a good government. No. But the government has to put things in place to make things easier for the people. It's so easy.


The Government owes me a lot. Anyone who says otherwise is a compound fool.

Jones4190:
you were silent when Jonathan wrongly suspend the CBN governor, the problem with you wailers is that you don't know the benefit of what he said, poverty has blindfolded you to see the reality, I'm sure you don't even know the meaning of forex for food import if not you should be thinking of how you will start making it through food production.

millhouse:
he can appoint but not order the CBN governor on what to do , even the CBN govt cannot take a decision soley ,CBN is an autonomous institution, or are you looking forward to where a president can wake up one morning and order the CBN to print N100bn for him ??are we in a banana republic??

I agree with his policies in the agricultural sector especially rice production he is not doing bad at it but security wise heck no

the only issue is how to get Nigerians appreciate rice produced in NiG

I think they should set up a task force that would check shops still selling imported rice and also check the grains to be sure it has not being disguised and if found guilty, such goods should be seized from the retailer, fined and charged of smuggling

if smuggled rice is not bought or demanded, rice smuggling would stop and locally produced rice would be appreciated and bought


He has put the necessary things in place to promote rice production if you don't agree that means you have not being paying attention

That was how you ban forex on 42 items when you came into office and plunged Nigeria into depression.

Now you want to ban forex on food and milk, then give people going to mecca excess dollar. Then give criminals billion dollars for importing fuel.

Nigerians time don reach

colestephan86:

With the response I see on this thread , I confirm today that many Nigerian youths are truly empty handed and mentally lazy.
FYI there was a time in this country when yoghurts were imported into this country but today the best and real yoghurt products in this country are locally made.
I see someone said , the president doesn't have the right to tell CBN what to do. Very funny!

lekonso:
I'm afraid how the youths in this country think. I'm not a fan of Buhari, but this time he is very right. How can we be spending our scarce forex on importing foods we can grow at home. Can't you people think, necessity they say is the mother of invention. If Nigerians cannot grow her foods then let them starve. If you can make your food at home at cheaper cost why spending your scarce money to buy food outside, this is simple logic.

What sort of ignorance will make a person not to know that someone appoints the CBN governor? Abi, CBN governor dey fall from heaven?
Don't mind the children of hate, they desperately want Buhari and Nigeria to fail. That will make them rejoice.

Are they not ashamed we used scared dollars, which we get only from crude sales to import food like tomatoes, sardines, apples, fish, etc and other foods we could easily grow here.
My mum just a few days back took some ewedu to London and she became an instant celebrity among here peers.
