Apart from other factors, during end of the year festive period, dollar rates often falls due to higher dollar liquidity brought in by Nigerians returning home from aboard.

Don't go to war accompanied by a woman.

Don't fight in presence of your female relatives or loved ones unless you're directly protecting them from the attacker.

Female emotions has proven to distract men in battle situations and the consequence is always fatal.

That's the lesson.

being:
One major problem that causes policy failure is not considering the environment and people such policy is to affect.
These policies cannot be guaranteed not to have a boomerang or negative economic effect if implemented forcefully

It's doesn't need to be implemented forcefully. Why should it be? These are some of the solutions I came up with after understuding the present economic situation of the country.

I'm not in Govt, the best I can do is to drop it here maybe someone in govt may see it tomorrow and take it up for further evaluations and implementation. Most policy makers running the country are incompetent and it didn't even start from this administration. It has always been status quo.

The economic situation in Nigeria today is bad and may even get worse if not handled properly. Naira is among world's worst performing currencies coupled with double-digit inflation rate in Nigeria resulting to this high cost of goods and services we are experiencing today in the country. Mr Chibuike Amaechi was right when he recently highlighted  the docile nature of Nigerians. The citizens aren't doing anything meaningful about the situation while the govt in charge is relax about it, they're not even treating it as an emergency yet.

Truth is, Nigeria has a trade deficit. We're spending more forex than we are getting. We consume a lot of foreign goods as a nation. There is huge gap in our balance of trade and CBN is running out of forex. We need to find local alternatives to the things we import. Any sensible govt experiencing this, should declare emergency in the economy and usher in some austerities to checkmate the situation.

Here are some short-term "severe" emergency measures i think will be necessary to handle this crisis:

1. Govt Should Place At least A 2yrs Moratorium On Multinational Companies Remittances:

Remittances by MTN, Airtel, Multi-Choice, Foreign Airlines Coys, Breweries, Oil Corporations etc are one of the reasons why our forex is depleted. Govt need to place temporary ban on remittances of these big firms back to their parent company abroad. This may slightly affect Foreign direct investment to the country but we're already in crisis, we have little options.

2. Mandating Diaspora Nigerians To Save Some % Of Their Income In Naira:

It may sound ridiculous, but this will help save the situation. America for example places tax on the earnings of it's citizens overseas. Govt should mandate Nigerians abroad to ensure that some percents of their earnings are saved back home or risk passport renewal refusal by our consulate abroad.

3. Foreign Exporters To Nigeria Should Be Mandated To Open Naira Account:

This is strictly for some industries/ companies abroad who relys heavily on export to Nigeria. It will be the duty of policy makers in Nigeria to identify these export companies and mandate them to comply. I think the bulk of them will is in China and South Asia. They should be made to open Naira account of risk losing patronage by Nigerian importers.

4. Checkmating The Japa Syndrome In Nigeria:

Let truth be told, the raise of Japa syndrome among Nigerians especially the youths is one of the major things drying out our forex. Just today, CBN reported that Nigerians spent a whooping $340.84 million on Foreign Universities application fees in 6 months. Nigeria losses billions of dollars yearly to Foreign Universities, Embassy Visa Fees, Airline Companies etc no-thanks to the increasing Japa Syndrome in the country. Govt should identify some Universities abroad especially in the UK benefiting heavily from Nigerian students and mandate them to open Naira account or risk losing our students. Or better still govt should place temporary ban on new passport issuance to curtail the situation for the mean time. Nigeria has one of the laxed laws in the world with less govt control. All over the world, Govts uses policies formulation to direct the country on the path to progress and prosperity. Things will be deteriorating in Nigeria while our policy makers will be clueless on ways to solve problems in the country.

5. Nigeria Entertainment Proceeds Should Be Returned To The Country:

Right now, we are having a trade deficit. Oil sales is low. The little forex gotten are used to service Buhari's loans, so I heard. We ain't exporting much as a country. Fortunately, Afrobeat is the emerging new export of Nigeria. Afrobeat concerts and festivals should be encouraged to be held in Nigeria where tourists can come and spend the much needed forex. If this can't be immediately possible for insecurity or whatever reason, then Govt must make a law mandating returning of some percentage of Nigerian entertainment revenue back to the country. Most Afrobeat's concerts and streaming proceeds are held in foreign accounts abroad. Like I said earlier US and some other countries even tax their citizens overseas earnings but we don't.

6. Banning Of Frivolous Imports:

These are some of the useless imports depleting our forex that we can easily replace or find local alternatives for. It's even unfortunate things like matches, toothpicks etc are on our yearly imported products. Govt should comply list of these frivolous items and place a ban on them. These imports has no business talking away the much needed forex from us.

7. Sale Of All Govt Owned Refineries:

Oil remains our No.1 import and our biggest forex depleter. If we start refining locally, we can save billions of dollars yearly from oil imports. It is looking like Dangote Refinery is all a scam. Govt should sell off all it's refineries because they have over the years proven to be bad managers. They should issue more licences to private investors for more modular refineries. If possible govt should throw open license to every Nigerian who can to start refining. Nigeria's inability to refine it's crude it's making her a disgrace among nations.

These are some of the severe out of the box thinking Govt need to consider right now.

One of the best planned cities in Nigeria by the Colonists with good networks of road. There are multiple of routes to any location. If all the roads are fixed, you will hardly experience heavy traffic in that city.

Good to know that the road in Aba is now being worked on.

End Japa Syndrome And Fix Your Country!

Nigeria is in a mess no doubt.

Why do black people especially Nigerians always want it the easy way? We are too lazy to build anything from the ground up. We always like finished products. That's why we consume a lot and produces nothing.

The youths are who are doing this japa thing are in their military age. Instead of using their strength to take back the country from these greedy old men who have cease the country, they rather prefers to use it to go and wash corpse in Europe and America.

Truth is, years ago the place you are running to was like today's Nigeria. But their youths never run away.

The youths should shun tribalism and organize for a revolution.

In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Nir Barkat, Israel's Minister of Economy, warned that Iran's Ayatollahs will be 'wiped off the face of the earth' should Hezbollah, their proxy terror group in Lebanon, attack Israel.



Nonsense talk by the terrorist Zionists in Israel, you have not been able to wipe out Hamas that is a much lesser threat over the years, it the bigger Ayatollahs in Iran that you're going to wipe out.

Such a stupid talk.

Too many talk from Israel without actions. Any ground operation into Gaza will be matched with stiff and bloody resistance. I think the terrorist Jewish country knows this, that's why they are delaying it.


The Zionist Movement that runs Israel is a terrorists organization.

3ice9ce:
Would you believe that a Magistrate resigned from Nigeria and went to be doing security guard job overseas?
A fool of almost 50 years.

Them don take winter coat and Timberland opress baba for Facebook.

Just Imagine.

One major problem in Nigerian is the Herd Mentality syndrome.

Once you start up any trend in Nigeria that promises to bring in fortune. The rest of the population will blindly and quickly jump into it without applying due diligence. Check Pos business, Content creation, MMM etc.

Other African countries are not like this.

ThatCEO:


Whether Hamas was right to kill 1300 people is up for debate depending on which side you stand.

But whether Hamas can go to war with AK47 and rocket launchers against a country that has 50 F35 jets is one of the most stupid things in history. You people must really think Isreal spend billions on hardware for decoration.

The media is biased but you shd thank that same biased media because if this was 30 years ago with lesser media coverage...South Africa saw 10x that oppression but they didn't gang up to kill 1000 whites at night, they used peace n resistance.

I am surprised Nigerians have not gone out to protest n burn a few Isreali flags. It seems the Nigerian public, after several years of pepper from Boko boys have finally decided to separate religion from terrorism.

By the way, Ukraine did not go and kill 1,300 Russians. If they have tried something that inhumane...Lemme not type what I will suggest Putin do to them.

I can't convince you, and feel bro, support whoever you want but I guarantee you, 50 years from now, long after Netanyahu has died, Mossad will still be going after the last remnant of Hamas that orchestrated this attack. Write that down.

Newton 3rd Law of motion states that "for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction"

Palestine-Israel conflict didn't start with Hamas killing 1300 people.

Israel killing of Palestinens started from May 15, 1948 and continued till this day. Over one million of Palestinens has killed by Israelis and thousands has been imprisoned without trial. What is 1300 compare to what Palestinians has lost over the years including their land.

The Western media you are following won't tell you this because I know that if you're truly aware of the history of the conflict, you won't bother to mention that Israel lost 1,300 as a big deal.

Lastly, Taliban chased US and NATO with all their armor away from Afghanistan with only AK and RPG. Check history, wars are won by who has the best strategy and determination not by has the biggest armor.

South Africa has the best foreign policy in Africa.

Most African countries are just mere Western puppets who doesn't have minds of their own.

Why South Africa can easily identify with Palestinians is because they know what it means to live under Apartheid regime.

Israel is the only country in world today running a UN approved Apartheid system.

South Africa should pls continue to assist the defenseless people of Palestinians in anyway possible. History will be kind to you people.

Israel Is A Rogue Nation

Zionists movement is farcist and terrorist organization.

lexy2014:


why is HAMAS holding 200 civilians hostage?

Why is Israel holding 4,500 Palestinians civilians in their prisons after forcefully taken away their family homes?

160 of the 4,500 are children.

Tetraozonaitera:


You are mentally sick.
I mean terribly sick upstairs.

See all you typed as if you were dead when the Palestinians entered Israel and killed 1,400 people and took more than 200 as hostage. They are even claiming Israeli bomb killed 40 hostages that a sensible person know they must have slaughtered like ram.

Many of you are Aro patients jumping from thread to thread yanning Senselessness.

@ your last sentence bolded.

Only a lunatic under Oshodi bridge can type that stupidity and still feel proud.

You are Idi.otic and Senseless!

So if you're asked tell the history of Palestine-Israel conflict, you will start from Hamas killing of 1,400 people?

Are you imbecilic?

Do you have short memory span?

Since May 15 1948, when the evil Zionists arrived from Europe, over 1million Palestinians have been killed and millions imprisoned and displaced after having their homes forcefully taken away from them by the terrorists govt of Israel and you're here talking about 1,400. So the millions of Palestinen lives that got killed since 1948 don't matter?

Since you like supporting injustice, "may you experience what Palestinians are going through at some point in your life"

The reason why Nigerian Christians have been brainwashed to see a "humanitarian crisis" as a "religious war" is because the farcist Zionists are in charge of global media houses.

The international news on TV stations, Radio stations and Newspapers pages in Nigeria are just an echo of the Western media outlets.

Same media that said Ukrainians are "brave and patriotic", called Palestinians "terrorists" for doing exactly same thing.

Just two days ago, Columbia a majority Catholic Christian country expelled the Israeli Ambassador in Columbia over war crimes going on in Gaza. Are Nigerian Christians dumb or just heartless?

I don't belong to any religion. I just hate hypocrisy and injustice metted to defenseless people of Palestine.

The reason why you have been brainwashed to see a "humanitarian crisis" as a religious war' is because the farcist Zionists are fully in charge of global media houses.

The international news read on TV, Radio and Newspapers in Nigeria are just an echo of the Western media outlets.

I don't do any religion. I just hate hypocrisy and injustice.

I have listened to many farcist land-grabbing Zionists and even Israeli political leaders citing the Bible as proof that the land belongs to them.

Now using the same Bible argument, we can also argue and prove that Jerusalem and the surrounding lands originally belongs to the Cannanites. They're the original inhabitants of the land whom the Israelites committed genocide on and forcefully occupied their land. Same thing they are dishing to Palestinians today... looks like an inherit trait.

Cannanites bloodlines can be found in present-day Lebanon. Almost all Lebanese today are in support of Palestine control of the land.

Israel Is A Rogue Nation

Zionist Movement Is A Farcist And A Terrorist Organization


They're hypocritical, cunning, dubious and dangerous. These traits were the reasons why they suffered in the hands of Hitler.

Why is it that many Western Media Brainwashed Nigerians are treating the war btw Israel and Palestine as a 'religious war' instead of a humanitarian crisis ?

Just yesterday, Columbia a nearly 100% Catholic Christian country expelled the Israel Ambassador to Columbia over the genocidal war going on in Palestine.

Are Christians in Dumb or what?

Israel Is A Rogue Nation

The only option left for the Evil Zionists are AIRSTRIKES

Why are they no longer talking about the ground invasion of Gaza?

What a lot of people don't know is that most Western military establishments are now WOKE. Most Western powers we fear and revered can't compete militarily today after allowing 'wokeness' and lgtv to enter their arm forces. A good example is how America abandoned the war in Afghanistan and ran way. Had it been French troops in Niger attempted to fight during the coup, you all would've seen how the bodies of French soldiers will drag on the streets of Niamey. They are weak and can't compete effectively in ground battle. What the only have now is technology. Israel today is technically an European country nothing Hebrew about them and they're following on the footsteps of their Western brothers.

Any Israeli ground engagement on Hamas/Hesbollah dominated area will be catastrophic for them. The only edge they have now is air power which can't achieve much. Ground battle is necessary in gaining control.

I'm not a Muslim but I hate the hypocrisy of the West and injustices meted to the Palestinian people. The white Zionists from Europe who are in Israel today are not even the original ancient Israelites. Why are we allowing them to grab lands that is not theirs?

I see that people are finding it difficult to accept that the fact the Hezbollah is pounding IDF. The so-called Israel military sophistication has been demistified.

What a lot of people don't know is that most Western military establishments are now woke .

Islamisformumu:
🥺 You see, this is the problem with living a sheltered life where you don't get any exposure to the outside world because of your unreasonable religious beliefs.

You may think you're doing a female child good by building a physical wall around her and forcing her to wrap herself up like an Egyptian mummy, but if you don't allow her to mingle with her peers so she can learn to be a good judge of character, you're just raising a giant toddler who will easily fall victim to the first scammer who comes her way.

It's unfortunate that this particular episode ended in a tragedy. I've known cases where the result is an unwanted pregnancy because the sheltered teenage girl allowed one sweet talking cassanova to turn her heart upside down.

'Mingling with peers' is a 50/50 thing. She can equally get corrupted, damaged, or unwanted pregnancy or even exposure to runs at an early age. Parents being open and making it easy for their children to discuss any topics with them would've stopped this. She would've inform the mom before sending the money.

Truth is, Women and especially the young ones are vulnerable. They needs guidance and protection from this wild world we live in. In some strict Muslims Societies, a woman can't leave home without being accompanied by an adult male.

Check the one-chance problem going in Abuja recently. Nearly all the victims are women because the attackers are targeting weaker prey who won't make the job difficult for them.

Israel Is A Rogue Nation

The Zionist movement that forcefully established the present Israel is a farcist and terrorist organization.

Watch how REAL JEWS are denouncing and disassociating themselves from the "Evil Zionist land grabbers"

Feminist advice that will only work on weak simps influenced by Western garbage culture.

Try this on traditional men like me and you will be dump faster than the speed of light.

South Africa has the best foreign policy in Africa.

That's one thing I envy about them.

If you check how the handle the issue with Putin and BRICS summit in South Africa and other of their foreign policies stand, you will know that they are far way from imperialism unlike other Western caged African countries.

Israel is a rogue nation.

Following

As an Igbo, i have always supported the state of Israel just like my kinsmen but after coming to terms with the reality, I'm withdrawing. Israel is a ROGUE nation forcefully established by white caucasians from Europe who are not even the original descendants of the ancient Israelites.

America, Britain and France are the biggest problem of this agelong crisis because they're the ones fueling it and providing protection to the genocidal govt in Israel. The state of Israel won't be exiting today if not for the state support and military aid coming from America and her allies in Europe. They're complicit in the war-crimes going on in Palestine.

Jerusalem has always been a peaceful cultural melting point of both Muslims, Jews and Christians before the land grabbers from Europe arrived and established their rogue govt in 1948.

The massacring of over 6millions Jews in WW2 was what prompted America, Britain and France to hurriedly approved and funded the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. Had it been Jews were not massacred in that war, Israel perhaps won't have been existing today. Palestinians are today suffering and paying for something that happened in Europe that they know nothing about.

Since 1948, Israel has been on a genocidal spree by killing and imprisoning millions of Palestinians including women and children. They land grabbers first started with West Jerusalem where they establish their base in 1948, from their they have now expanded to East Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza strip while pushing back the local inhabitants of the land. You can't keep taking over people's land and expect them to keep quiet.

Genocide, Apartheid, Ethnic Cleaning and Military Occupation, Arbitrary Imprisonments are some of the atrocities that Israel is commiting in Palestine while America and her allies keep shielding Israel from every blame. Most of the atrocities that are being committed by Israel are the things the Zionist movement cried about when they are being persecuted in Europe today they are the ones dishing it out to others. I can't condemn Palestinians because if I'm from there perhaps I may even do worse.

You were massacred in Europe, you transferred the agression to another innocent population while they people that killed you in Europe who you supposed to focused on keep providing you with arms and protection.

How Israel and her allies continue to deceive christians and others into supporting their evil programs surprises me . A country that heavily descriminate against Christians.

Truth is, the land grabbing white men that came from Europe to capture land in Palestine are not even the original descendants of the ancient Israelites. I pity those who where being brainwashed with religion by the Western media to support this evil. Same media that praised and called Ukrainians "brave and patriotic" for defending their land against Russia wants us to call Palestinians "Terrorists" for doing exact same thing that Ukrainians did. The injustice is too much. I count myself out.

Israel is a rogue nation.

Ukrainians defending their land against Russia are "patriotic and brave."

Palestinians defending their land against Israel are "terrorists."

There is no justice in the world

America, Britain and France are the people fueling the Palestine-Israel crisis.

Israel is a rogue nation.

Ukrainians defending their land against Russia are "patriotic and brave."

Palestinians defending their land against Israel are "terrorists."

There is no justice in the world.

Twitter "active" users are a conglomeration of mostly bitter cowardly sadists who prefers to fight and vent behind keyboards under their wife's wrapper rather than become masculine and face the real battle in the real world.

Why do Twitter keep attracting cowardly lo.sers?

What is wrong with what the Police officer said?

Is sports betting illegal in Nigeria?

Is govt not collecting taxes from the gambling industry?

The officer didn't even promoted anything, he only used sports betting odds system to illustrate how Arsenal has improved under Arteta.

To answer your question; It is because they are super rich and financially stable.

There is no point for them to permanently relocate abroad to go search for what they already have.

I have written on this severally, Apart from Business men, what about celebs? are they relocating? The No.1 and major reason Nigerians are immigrating is purely due to ECONOMIC REASONS.

It's not because of Insecurity.
It's not because of poor infrastructure in the country.
It's not because of poor health care system.

Forget about the talks, solve a Nigerian man money problem and see return to enjoy his money.
