PoliticsRe: Again, CBN Raises Import Duty Rate By Another 4.4% In 24 Hours by searchlight: 8:32pm On Feb 04, 2024
DeLaRue:
You think so, but that's not the reality.

There is a pain point at which demand for many imported goods will fall fast. People will simply start buying less and less of them. Whether that pain point is at N1500, N1800, or N2000 to a dollar, I don't know.

But the CBN will have the data. They know. If N1500 doesn't stiffle imports to the level they want, I suspect the CBN will not mind seeing naira close to N2,000 to a dollar.

In some ways, it is to the credit of Mr Tinubu's administration that it is willing to follow this extremely tough path to redirect the economy from import-dependence to greater local production. For a politician facing election in just over 3 years to follow a path that may not show positive results for a few years, is truly brave.

The Nigerian economy was heading for the rocks after over 40 years of mismanagement. Tough decisions are needed to correct long term over dependence on imports.

That naira/dollar pain point is the point at which local production of certain goods starts becoming more viable than importing the same goods. This should translate to us producing more of what we need locally. This will lead to more job creation, less pressure on the naira, and a stronger, more balanced economy in the long term.

But this approach comes with a lot of economic pain initially, as the country is witnessing now.

That's the theory o.

Whether things happen in practice like I stated above is a different matter, because Nigeria's situation often defy economic theory.
With all due respect, May thunder fire you and all your generations unborn?

If Peter Obi had won the last election:

1. A 50kg bag of rice would have become ₦8,530. 🍚

2. The price of a bag of cement would have crashed to ₦2,600. 🏠

3. Petrol would have become ₦78/litre. ⛽

4. Electricity tarrif (Band 16) would have come down to ₦21/kWh 💡

5. Diseal price per litre would have dropped to ₦110/litre. 🛢️

6. LPG price would have fallen to ₦210/kg. ⛽

7. Naira would have appreciated to ₦117/$. 💵

8. Kidnapping and banditry would have stopped. In fact bandits would have been selling ice cream. 🍦

9. Cost of domestic air flights from Lagos to Abuja would have become ₦11,300. 🛫

10. The stock market all share index would have rallied to 100,000 points. 📈

11. A hub of àgbàdo would have sold for ₦30. 🌽

12. A paint bucket of yam flour would have become ₦470. 🥔

13. Minimum wage would have increased to ₦250,000. 💰

These are the delusions of Obidients. They cry everyday and call Tinubu drug Lord on Nairaland... 😭

PoliticsRe: Atiku/Obi/Kwankwaso: Utomi Is A Serial Promoter Of failing Merger Parties - APC by searchlight: 8:28pm On Jan 16, 2024
lilytender:
Interesting.

As the so called merger is being formulated, let me assure all political followers that the the so called merger will want to put forward a coordinator whom they think will be neutral to all the constituent parties, that is where one one Tinubu's unknown wonder boy will come in and be named the head of the merger.

We shall destroy the merger from within

We once used Alli Modu Sheriff to destroy PDP some years back, just recently we used the same Pat Utomi who is now talking nonsense to trick Peter Agulu Obi from PDP into Labourers Party.

Just watch as we teach you another political lesson.

Christianity EtcRe: What's The Essence Of Marriage?? by searchlight: 12:51pm On Dec 30, 2023
Marriage is a legal and traditional way of making a woman entitled to a man's wealth.

Marriage does not benefit men. You use your money to cage yourself and suffer for the rest of your life. You make money but can't even enjoy your money the way you want because of one jobless woman you kept at home as a wife.

Before you mention me first of all tell me just one advantage a man has over his wife in that criminal union called marriage. Just one.

Most men marry because of societal pressure while some are deceived by their wives, thinking that they are angels.

Esthered:
It's not a scam. It depends on the parties in the marriage.
My husband has lots on his hands and told me he wouldn't be doing anything for my parents and I told him not to bother as myself and my sister had sent money to her to stock the house for the festivities. I made sure to follow up that he does something for his peeps.
I as his wife supports his family's ministry monthly and I told him I can't do extra this season as I have lots too.
How many women are like you? Just about 10% or less. How am I sure that I could get your kind? Most women go into marriage with the mindset of living on the man's sweat and frustrating the man in the process.

It is for the good of all.

The President intervened as a concerned citizen who wants peace. He was publicly begged by the Rivers Elders who are loyal to Fubara to intervene. If he wants to intervene as the President and Commander-in-Chief , he will just declare a State of Emergency, and appoint a Sole Administrator.

If he appoints Wike as the Sole Administrator, the National Assembly will approve it. Anybody wey wan die, make e die, the President has spoken. This was what Wike was working towards, that was why he went to Rivers State to cause himself to be attacked and chaos will start, but Tinubu cautioned Wike to let Fubara be. If not, Nyezom Wike would have returned as the Sole Administrator of Rivers State and INEC will conduct another election which will be won by Wike's new stooge. Una go cry tire
