I keep saying it. The best time to use cases like these as a negotiating card and force our leaders to declare their loyalty is election time. Ask them about their opinion regarding these type of situation and let them tell the whole world their plan. We make things so easy for our leaders in this part of the world . . .

kolakolex:
if this salary slash is for political office holders alone then,i am in support.pls dnt involve the poor civil servants in this policy.if the federal govt can slash the salary of senators by 50 percent then dino melaye would not be accumulating cars and insulting us with it,saying even if i sell my cars Nigeria will not get out of recession.what a shame
The problem I have with the civil servants is that as small their pay is, their effort can't justify it. They are lazy to the core. I support slashing their salary.

Bingo!

I don't understand what is wrong with Nigeria's Central Bank. They initiate policies as if they have no economists on staff to characterize the impact of their bone-headed policies (something that is easily predictable by a lay man).

Nobody, I repeat, nobody in Nigeria today will sell his precious dollars at N305. The only entity in Nigeria that sells dollar at that price is the CBN. Even the CBN governor will not sell his personal dollars at N305. This tells any rational economic player or investor that Nigeria's monetary and forex policies are not driven by rational economics but are imposed by political exigencies.

I don't understand Nigeria's decades long political fixation of fixing the prices of imported commodities like forex or fuel. The CBN doesn't print dollar and we don't produce fuel so why try to control the price of something you don't produce? The market forces of demand and supply is no respecter of persons and will always defeat the CBN's attempt to undermine its stranglehold on determining true prices.
Blame the successive govt who try to manage the economy by fixing dollar price down in order to give the impression that things are well. Under this arrangement as demand rises the govt chokes.

The cocoa trend can help solve unemployement crisis greatly too. How?
If most jobless youths know $1 exchanges for N1,000 they will want to strive harder to have a sellable skill or product that can earn them dollar. All that's needed to make N60,000/month will be $60/month. Now that isn't so hard a target to hit.

VampireeM:
The issue here isnt the intention of the loan which of course is very commendable but we all know this Nigeria and we are corrupt! The problem is some set of persons embezzeling our future for their own personal use and not held accountable for it! Maina and the pension scam comes to mind.

PMB may have good intentions but we dont want him mortgaging/gambling our future with this loan.. He should forget about the loan and go after past corrupt official esp the ones in APC, starting with Abba Kyari 500million grass cutting scam etc..

BTW, PMB and his govt has not told Nigerians in details how the money would be spent.. We all know this govt has no blueprint, just doing trial and error with us.

I am not in support of the Loan @least now

The CBN says it has floated the Naira when it adopted the flexible exchange rate system in June; all they need to do is allow the goddamn Naira to actually float. Nigeria is presently not enjoying the proposed benefits of the June devaluation/float because the CBN is still running around trying to peg the value of the currency at around N305 while the whole world knows the real value is currently N470... Forcing exporters to sell the dollars they earn at the rate of N305, meanwhile these same exporters know the true value is N470, policies like this instead of encouraging an export culture, would only discourage people from going into the export business.

The principles of demand and supply should be allowed to dictate the value of the Naira; policies like pegging the Naira currently serves to stagnate the economy.
I put the true value of dollar at around N800-1200. It is govt interference in the market that's keeping it down in the first place. For exporters, i advice them to import hot selling goods with their dollar proceeds. This way the usual govt babies who like to import everything will see others taking their place economically and will be forced to go into farming on one hand, while the exporters get the real value of their dollar + profit.

I really don't understand what's wrong with the CBN and this meaningless price regulation... you do not force down the exchange rate by forcing people to sell their forex at a very low price (even when they can clearly see the amount they lose). Stupid policies like this will only discourage people from engaging in exports to boost forex supply. This useless policy is the very reason Nigeria isn't reaping the potential benefits of the last devaluation (in terms of increased exports and increased income for exporters).

Similarly, the CBN forces diasporans sending money home to exchange their forex at the low official rate, but when family in Nigeria wants to send money abroad (e.g. to children schooling abroad), they are forced to buy forex at the true rate (blackmarket rate). I still wonder who advises the CBN board that this policy can encourage people to send more forex home.
I have said this on Nairaland times without number before.
As the Dollar approaches it true value of around N1000 it will favour exporters of services and produces.
The evil practice of your FG was to take petrodollar and sell it cheap on the forex auction. This is what force the dollar rate to remain down at N165/$ for long. Oil is being used to directly kill other export earners when govt subsidizes dollar rate. It may interest you to know that between 2002 and 2014 the govt spent over $210B subsidizing the dollar. Iweala termed this practise defending the Naira, Sanusi termed it floating the Naira value.
If you remember. The govt tried to create a interbank rate that's different from open market rate. This move was done to help farmers and exporters generally earn more via the open market dollar rate that's higher and void of costky govt influence.
Webmasters › Re: Differences Between A Webdeveloper And A Webdesigner by Sibrah: 10:54am On Nov 07, 2016
True.
Designer designs and layout block components.
Developer implements design in web standard format that prepares it for the browser . . .
People often think one they can code in HTML, CSS and some JS, they qualify as designers. Design if done right requires input of an artistic mind.

This is the kind of thread u come to flex your muscles.
On threads about the suffering of the masses or bad government decisions/policies u will turn a blind eye to it and avoid such threads like a plague.
I guess u been paid for this because slowly u have lost every ouce of respect on this forum due due to your myopic comments blinded by hypocritical political sentiments.
Always devoid of objectivity and fairness in ur approach to national issues.
P.S- In your usual fashion call on the moods to ban me or call me an I.POB youth(of which I'm not).
I have told u the truth as a patriotic Nigerian.Amend your ways.
Ameachi was never probed under P D P. Instead they sought to intimidate him with Mbu. I wonder the meaning of their tirade here. They should learn how to respect people's opinion. Nigerians were tired of them.
