kingbee90:You forgot the person who managed the economy at that time? Just so you know: it was Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - the current DG of World Trade Organization! I wonder if it was the same Macroeconomics knowledge which NOI used to coordinate our economy then the current minister has. 1 Like |

The funny thing about this thread is that it has become abuse galore. Many people are not talking about the reason why, they are instead saying GEJ is better than tinubu, or that tinubu is a wise leader that took the tough decisions. The truth of the matter is both tinubu, gej, and buhari, and company are all disgraces when you consider that naira was N1=$1 as recently as 1978. Even in 1984, it was $1 to N1.20. BY 2012 it was N120 to $1 (GEJ ers will claim he slowed down the rate) now it is N1500 to $1 (Agbadorians will praise their lord and master for taking hard decisions). When instead we are watching the slow death of our currency. Our currency has been dying since 1973. It is only now that thanks to our running out of oil money we know the extent of its death. And that is because, we , as a nation, at independence , instead of following countries like South Korea and even China, were busy trying to build castles in the cloud with resource money, then oil money. Money that was not enough...because....WE DO NOT CONTROL THE PRICE. South Korea, China, Japan and many other first world countries have strong currencies because they export and export manufactured goods and services, and run economies based on innovation and science and more innovation. Here in Nigeria, we sell oil, share the money, refuse to collect tax and pretend all is well, and when the cracks happen we play tinubu vs GEJ. We don't want to face our problems. If we were selling made in Nigeria and selling it abroad...we would earn so much forex that we would have a very strong currency as a result. By now , if we had chosen industrialization in 1960 OR even 1970...when Gowon started the first National development Plan.. N1 would have been 1$. Instead we fight over oil money. Manufacturing economies simply print dollars. And have strong currencies...because they control the prices of the stuff they Manufacture.. See oil. We need oil to be 80 dollars to have enough for our budget for this year without borrowing. Oil has been below 70 dollars for the last 4 months. NATURALLY we have to borrow. And we cannot raise the price of oil to 130 per barrel. Our buyers will just head next door to Cotonu for better deals. Benin produces oil too. And then Niamey. And we ran out of dollars a while ago. SO, we don't have dollars to buffer the dying naira...so its dying has been made manifest. APC is responsible for this mess because they did not diversify the economy. They have been in the driver's seat since 2015. they deserve every abuse they get. But so also GEJ, who squandered oil money like there was no tomorrow. And all our past leaders. So drop the fighting and ask our government, or whoever takes over in 2027 to develop an economy based on innovation. Make sure our education system is very meritocratic...that's how the Asians do it for example. Fight corruption. But at the very least, let us leave that oil alone and use what we have to make stuff the world needs. I have been saying that for over a decade, and people dey call me agbero. Right. |

AdesegunSanni89: Imagine someone's reasoning! He stopped subsidy to prevent few people from becoming billionaires overnight, and impoverished over 200 million Nigerians. What an excuse for failure. I believe you attended the same school with Reno Omokri. 1 Like |

Emtol01:your mum na long one,it's like cutting your nose so you spite your face,to what end is this policy now,what has it achieved, the people you think your government wants to purnish are they the only one suffering if at all they are suffering, if curses kills people, Tinubu would have been dead now from curses rained on him by Nigerians in pain because of his stupid policies He is not a wise ruler at all For your information currencies are devalued to achieved certain set objectives, non of which is what you have stated Currencies are achieved to encourage production so the country can earn more foreign exchange, in Nigeria case which production for export has been encouraged to expand since the introduction of the useless policies non,infact multiple companies are shunting down |
