Straight up nonsense.

Which Shell "has stopped to work"?
When did Exxon realise that they need to shut down operations?

When did these fictitious events happen that you are desperately trying to string together to form some kind of conspiracy story.
PoliticsWhere Are Photos Of Buhari Returning From UK by worksmart(op): 1:58am On May 14, 2016
Very unsual that there are no photo of him getting off plane this time.

Western powers may have just had enough of Buhari so he has had to be removed as he is not following their ruinous economic dictates.
He is chasing them to return or money also.

All this blowing up of Chevron infrastructure and Shell and Exxon also shutting down operations, is a clear evidence of Western economic sabotage using their multinational oil companies.

No coincidence that fuel price has now been hiked and rumours of Naira devaluation is spreading

Lets hope we are not going to hear within a day or two that something has happened to our dear president oo!
PoliticsRe: Buhari Bows To IMF Pressure, To Devalue Naira 290 To Dollar by worksmart(m): 1:41am On May 14, 2016
[size=14pt]If true he is being blackmailed by the USA.

Coincidence that Chevron allows its assets to be blown up (they probably blew up their infrastructure themselves)
Coincidence that at the same time Shell has stopped to work due to a leak in a pipeline
Coincidence that Exxon has also realised that they need to shut down operations.

It looks to me like economic sabotage by US and Western nations to force FG to follow the IMF and Western economic dictates.

Could be something like:

Mr Buhari follow our economic dictates and raise fuel prices and devalue your currency or we would cripple your economy and make your country ungovernable.

It won't surprise me if something happens to Mr President on his return from UK.[/size]

The West and Europe have stolen our money which they have conveniently tagged Abacha loot , but reality is that the stole our money and now refusing to return it.

If the thief dictates how the money they stole should be spent, in reality it is just the thief that is spending the loot meaning the stolen money is not refunded.

BusinessRe: FG To Re-evaluate Foreign Exchange Policy – Osinbajo by worksmart(m): 3:42pm On May 12, 2016
Thanks for explaining this, so clearly.

I am guessing that most people with dollar bills in Nigeria acquired their forex through corruption and criminal means, and are thus may be ignorant or indifferent about opportunities presented by floating currency bonds.

Our best policy is to continue to discourage imports so that demand for forex would eventually diminish.
greenpasture:
Thanks for asking. I will keep this free of jargon. Let me know if I have been clear enough

A foreign currency bond is a means of borrowing foreign currency for a period of time - say 10-15 years ( could be shorter) Imagine two parties, a lender and a borrower. The borrower ( nigeria) says to the lender, give me $20bn and I will give it back to you in 10 years, but every year I will give you X percent in interest. At the end of 10 years you get your money back with the last interest payment.

The borrower Nigeria sinks the money into revenue yielding projects and uses part of the revenue to pay the interest ( keeping this very simple) while the lender gets more money than they would got from keeping the money in a bank or under their mattress.

At the end of the day the borrower has revenue yielding projects that are creating employment whole the lender gets his money back with good interest. I am sure you know that there is a lot of dollars bring held by Nigerians in their homes and abroad. The foreign currency bond would pull this in to create growth in the economy ( jobs, increase demand for other local gods and services etc). A naira bond would do same but Nigeria doesn't need naira now. It has a lot due to TSA and recoveries.

That's it in a very small nutshell. Hope it helps

BusinessRe: FG To Re-evaluate Foreign Exchange Policy – Osinbajo by worksmart(m): 1:46pm On May 12, 2016
This is above my level to understand.
Please explain is a foreign currency bond and what floating it means.

Is there not a cost to our economy of floating foreign currency bonds?

Is there a reason Naira bonds could not be floated?
greenpasture:
Improving sources of FX is not devaluation.
He is talking about improving supply. Right, now, there is more FX outside the banking system than there is in it. I am not sure that any country in the world has as much paper dollars than Nigeria - including the USA - so If the FGN for instance, floats a foreign currency bond at a higher rate than bank interest rates, then you can safely assume that dollars sitting in people's wardrobes as well as overseas would emerge. That's an example of what he is talking about.

Coaxing out additional supply into the parallel market and thereby lowering the rate.
BusinessRe: FG To Re-evaluate Foreign Exchange Policy – Osinbajo by worksmart(m): 1:00pm On May 12, 2016
Yeye economists everywhere.

Explain how devaluation leads to availabilty of dollar?

The minister of state for Petroleum never used the word deregulation during his statement.
The fact is it is clear that the government has already long ago deregulated the oil sector.

What government did was to put in measures to prevent future fuel scarcity by selling fuel at a price that would make diversion to neighbouring countries unprofitable to unscrupulous marketers.

grandstar:
There's no way governmemt will deregulate the price of fuel and not eventually do the same with forex.

Donttforget fuel Import ers have to source dollars at the black market

Of course there are Nigerian newspapers that plagiarise the garbage that the clowns at bloomberg are writing.
