0monnak0da: Warehouse Guy leave matter
stick to what you know let us not derail the thread
Foreign reserves are not government money that is all that matters ,they have no role in fiscal activities I'm only trying to learn , not to start an argument |

0monnak0da: I think you are mixing things here
Foreign reserve is totally irrelevant
A lot of people make this mistake, too often quite understandably
Foreign reserves are NOT government funds rather they are CBN funds and so once again TOTALLY irrelevant to the loan decisio.
That is not to say that I agree with the loan but let us not mix things
The CBN is a Bank it has liabilities(debt) and assets. Among the liabilities of the CBN are ALL the Naira notes in circulation while foreign reserves are its assets. It is those assets that make the Naira to have value . Without assets then the Naira is just PAPER
so foreign reserves do not have any role in government spending They belong proportionately to all the creditors of the CBN which everyone holding naira in their pocket is
What is more relevant to the loan decision is Government revenue, existing government debt and expenditure
I have no clue where you get the 10% of foreign reserve as a relevant variable driving borrowing decision Where are foreign reserves stored in ? |

kayroc: I am sure Dangote will simply export all the refined product from that refinery. For as long as there is subsidy he will not he able to sell for the maximum price in Nigeria so he will simply export the product and maximize returns. Isn't fuel subsidy the difference between the fixed price and the maximum price ? |

0monnak0da: Nigeria has a Tax Revenue/GDP ratio of 6% compare to Algeria of 64% and Denmark of 50% Pakistan 11% India 16% Kenya 18% Ghana 20%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_revenue_to_GDP_ratio
GDP is a good basis for measuring the ability to borrow ONLY if there is capacity to extract tax revenue from that GDP
Nigeria has a poor record of extracting tax from its GDP
Let us desist from ignorantly echoing the debt/GDP ratio
So how can we move from 6% to 12% i.e double our tax revenue. Talk is cheap 6 percent to 12 percent is a very big deal. |

juman: With our population of over two hundred million peoples, if we borrow hundreds of billions of dollars, with good management we would pay it back easily.
But we don't have good management. That is the real problem. With a population of 200 million poverty stricken people. |

Eteka1: The loan is meant for major infrastructural development like roads, power, rail, bridges etc. There is nothing wrong in that. Nigeria's debt to GDP ratio is one of the lowest in the world at 30.05%. Nigerias debt to gdp may be low but what about debt to tax revenue |

grandstar: I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I find the CAN prayer meet as hilarious. People condemn us for not praying with them and this CAN prayer meet is one reason why. God does not listen to all prayers no matter how hard we deceive ourselves (Read Jeremiah 7:16). Why should I even call someone and say, "Let me pray for you"? The only aprayer he listens to are those in harmony with his will (Read 1 John 5:14)
Many so called men of God are involved in the occult to perform miracles. A great number of their congregants engage in spiritism. Majority are nominal Christians. Their judgment is coming (Read 2 Thessalonians 2:9-13, Matthew 7:21-23)
What's happening during our time shouldn't be a surprise (Read 1 John 5:19, 2 Timothy 3:1-5,13). It should therefore not be a surprise to these clergymen. These clergymen are only preaching prosperity and trying their best to hold on to their congregants or increase their flock by giving them what they want to hear. (Read 2 Timothy 4:1-5). Yes, this is your year of miracles!Yes, this year to will build your house  Pentecostal pastors are one of the biggest charlatans to ever exist. |

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lodbrok The link you posted just confirms what I was saying. Ragnar Lodbrok or Lothbrok (Old Norse: Ragnarr Loðbrók, "Ragnar shaggy breeches", contemporary Norse: Ragnar Loðbrók) was a Norse Viking hero and legendary Scandinavian king known from Viking Age Old Norse poetry, sagas, as well as contemporary chronicles. |

Imagine you live in Kuwait and manage to send back 100 Kuwaiti Dinar, and someone in Dubai sends 100 Dirham's,is the value in Naira the same?
Read this comment below; You are so wrong. If it is by that one , you can go to Liberia to hutsle , after all they use u.s dollars there. What matters about a country is the real wage there ? |

For now, the job market is facing a lull. Everyone seems to be traveling to Canada. I'm sure when Buhari goes, more pragmatic economic policies will be introduced and growth of 6% or more will be the new average instead of the lamentable rates of today Its one thing to have economic growth of 6 percent , it's another thing to have economic growth of 6 percent that isn't jobless growth. |
