Agboriotejoye:Eventually we would manufacture stuff like electronics, cars and so on and export. The truth is , before you laugh, that is how countries like Korea, China that were behind us in the 1960s are now strong nations. OPEC is dead. Everyone now discovers oil. The USA is self sufficient in oil. Hence the low oil prices Plus where was OPEC whenever Saudi Arabia decides to pump oil beyond its quota? And do we actually control the prices? Plus why export crude and then waste the money importing importing |

Gnaeusmagnus:You're not going to be the only one manufacturing those things you mentioned and definitely won't control their prices. China, Korea products are actually cheaper than those of western nations so you can ask yourself how they're able to make it without controlling price as you posited. Where I'm going though is that oil prices are not the problem. It's how we manage what we have over the years that's the issue. Even the oil! As you said, Saudi pumps beyond its quota cause it can. Most times, we don't even meet our quota not to talk of exceeding it. Countries don't just develop by controlling price. But more by efficient management of their wealth and resources. It is this that leads to self sufficiency in critical areas and that's when we can get to where we need to be |

We need to restructure for the country to work. Diversification will not be possible without restructuring! |

mercyville:First of all, you need to understand allocation of resources. That the present administration did not saying it is borrowing to pay salaries does not negate the fact that it is borrowing. Those in the know, know that loans are moved around & utilised where there is a short term deficit. Your point about borrowing to pay salaries would make sense if the government was not borrowing at all. Secondly, the foreign reserves were down because with crude oil at over $100pb, Nigeria was selling less than 1mb of crude oil daily, Nigerians were buying fuel at under N100pl & your exchange rate was being kept under N200 to a dollar. Third, do a quick check... US, UK, Austria, SK, Malaysia & a number of countries better developed than us have a higher debt ratio than Nigeria... Are they also paper economies? |

Zoharariel:The first part of your comment is off point. The fact remains that between 2012 to late 2014, US practically stopped buying Nigeria's crude. |

Zoharariel:lol, even the politicians are preparing for the impending bulkanization of Nigeria, they're looting non-stop, converting their loots to dollars, buying properties abroad. They'll japa when shit hits the fan |

justtoodark:Yes. It's quite complicated & this is mainly because politics overrides economics especially in a developing country such as Nigeria. 95% of our economics policies are determined by political interests (personal, group & general). This needs to be reduced. |

justtoodark:Well, the thing is Globalization is failing big time and current financial system is dying very fast if not even completely dead(Only a matter of time). The future has already started. The future of payment and less DEBT society. DEBT= Is nothing but modern day slavery and every country should do whatever it can to move far away from DEBT. The empire already wants everyone enslaved and the only way to do that is to sell DEBT (Slavery) to countries and if you can't pay back you know what will happen. (either they give you another debt to pay for debt like in the case of Greece or you start losing assets and when they are done with you, you money will be like Somalia or Zimbabwe).. Note that this is what gives this G7 Economies the power to print massively and manipulate the financial system thereby making their currency stronger. The G 7 Economies with U.S being the leader (A kind of Economic Dictatorship) where the FEDS prints $$$ at will without anything backing it while this mere printed paper that has no value but war backing it and the blood of innocent people worldwide. Every dollar paper represent Debt. So for a country to be in DEBT. It means her citizen will continue to work hard, pay tax(Double if not multiple tax) till the rest of their lives or even generation unborn. To build stuff. This is no rocket science, you have got to empower the Youth not via their useless buying of keke napep or okada but by investing in Education, research and development. It's a long story but to cut it, you can do very well without borrowing much. Despite that, NIGERIA still has low DEBT but which ever way, A DEBT is a DEBT and it will keep growing if the right thing is not done. Saudi oil war has started, they are selling a Barrel of oil for 8USD now. Dragging the price to all time low again trying to hurt other Oil dependent economies. Nigeria already won this war so it wont have much effect. Naija may re-introduce the Dollar war back. Before I go. The future of payment is BLOKCHAIN like BTC that is using the technology and also other POW currencies. Do you wonder why 1BTC today is 3,000,000 Naira ? That is the future of Payments and a DEBT free Society. A DEBT that can't be transferred to anyone else. An interesting future has begun. |
