kikero: how I wish at least 40% of Nigerians had the ability to understand basic economics and finance like you do. Nigeria has to be productive and be able to generate income from other sources totally independent of petroleum. for a nation of 200 million+ people we need more than the sales return of our 2.5 million barrels per day of crude oil OPEC quota (even if it's at $200 per barrel) to run our economy while Nigeria can be considered as potentially rich considering our population and natural resources but we are actually a poor nation in reality for now our China Exim Bank loan that caused a big rift and is still a pending issue is just a fraction of Italian Corona virus welfare package we have a long way to go and we are barely moving. the economy of most advanced democratic nations are driven by the private sector. they fund almost everything and the tax they pay is what the government relies on to run its affairs. the government itself is just a regulator & referee befor criticizing our Government (obviously full of evil people) we should ask ourselves how have we created wealth as citizens in technology, services, healthcare, etc like the pioneers of the enviable American, French, Japanese and German science, technology, Economics and medicine (people like Faraday, Louis Pasteur, Archibald McIndoe, Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Honda, Toyoda, Ford, Pascal Blaise, Bernoulli, Hideki Yukawa, Euler, Newton, Van Der Waals, Hertz, Marie Curie, James Blundell, Adam Smith , Jean-Baptiste Say , David Ricardo , Thomas Robert Malthus etc) mind you some of these pioneers died poor and indebted because they funded research by borrowing from private individuals and institutions a lot never had the support of the government either in their time. we just like China don't have to go through that phase of discovery, intensive research and we can just copy and paste instead we prioritize temporary pleasures and gadgets that go out of fashion in a short while, celebrate wealthy politicians and associates whom we clearly can prove have enriched themselves dishonestly frm our national commonwealth, immortalise material women on TV shows and immoral young men/musicians that only sing and celebrate the use of voodoo to defraud foreigners. we consume our Forex from crude oil sales that we ought to use in importing machinery & industrial equipments, training our people in new technology, improving security by equipping our military, paramilitary and police with advanced weapons, gadgets and boosting agriculture on imported cosmetic products, used luxury cars etc. we need to sit up as citizens and contribute. 4 Likes 1 Share |

tomakint: Let's keep it real.... if you can. Why not Jonathan? Let's reason. Nigeria depends almost entirely on oil. Jonathan came in office with oil price at $75 and the Naira at 150. Except for the last few months of his presidency.... the price of oil was more than 90% of his time above $75... with long runs in the 90s and stretches above $100. The last few months in office..... oil price was on the decline... down to $59.... that's when he left office...oil at $59 and the naira at 199. Buhari took office with the price of oil slumping..... down to $22. Under him.... oil price maybe just for a few days.... never went up to $75. Today or is running at $22. Second time oil price is under production cost under Buhari. He did very well in managing the Naira when he first took office... and it has been pretty much stable. Do you really think if Jonathan had remained in office the Naira would have this value? Today it is low oil prices and the world economies are in trouble.... double wahala for Nigeria. This devaluation is just the beginning. What measures would you suggest he follow? |

vickydevoka: 1. There's no better guide than yourself. 2. Research all the ways all the ways you can make money online. I say this because what may work for me may not work for you. For instance, my thing is numbers and calculation so I am well suited to things like investing but I have a website and YouTube channel to try marketing but I don't get paid from it, even though I am not giving up on it because there are people earning huge from it and I will once I find my edge. 3. Never pay anybody to teach you. Whatever they want to teach you can be gotten free online. 4. Majority of information you can get are trash. The internet or educational resources like books are good at telling you "what" exists but don't tell you "how" to use it. E.g. Because everybody's using a blog to run Google AdSense, books will tell you that's the way to do it, but it's wrong because, instead of writing blog posts you know nothing about, you could get a video that will explain better and use it to drive ads with better results. |

kikero: You need to spend more time study Nigeria history and economic. 1. Nigeria had a diversified economy in 1960s crude oil export was a small part of the country external export. Most country move from exporting raw agriculture and mineral products to manufacturing products. 2. Buhari didn't heed Iweala warning when he decided to take 6 months before he appointed his cabinet ministers that was his first mistake, his second mistake was the failure to restructure the country and economy that would have led to economic diversification 3. Because of our large population, we need to stop depending on a mono-product such as crude oil export. 4. The way forward eventually...the president MUST resign as minister of petroleum, disband NNPC and withdraw from OPEC, then Nigeria economy will start the process of real economic reform. 1 Like 1 Share |

Gbelomo: Two of you are brilliant. I'm impressed. I wish more of your types will speak up but you don't. Far too quiet .. the silly ones are the loudest. The mentality has always been the issue. Excessive consumerism when you have an unproductive population which is by design, since the leaders don't prioritize education. To solve the issue. We need a unified exchange rate that can be accessed through the banks. Cancel bdc Progressive tax.( Database needed) Mechanised farming .. fronted by states.. (Forex should be deployed to buy machines) Education and health schemes .. obvious Credit for income earners. Credit reporting agencies. Housing ./ Cars . Lower MPC.. if you earn you can buy at low rates on credit .and pay later. Small Business friendly policies.. Determine the competitive advantages of each state and restructure to facilitate the growth in those sectors. .. exports ... Earn more Forex. This cycle will create jobs which leads to more tax revenues and growth... It's the simple things that matter.. affordable housing , ability to buy and pay later, food , educated and healthy population. Not one big sky scrappers, mansions or d few Bentley's they spend money on. 2 Likes |

Nigerians should set their minds, the Naira is going to get to over 500 against the US Dollar and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Our major commodity 'OIL' is almost worthless, by the end of the year it might be sold for less than $15 per barrel. We don't produce anything else and our lawmakers are busy buying exotic cars. Buhari and CBN are running out of dollars to pump into the economy hence the deception since inception is over. Breeze don blow now everybody can see how worthless our economic policies have been. 1 Like |

Nigsrdumb:We need to do this, we need to do that. We have heard that a million times before. We are not lacking in simple ideas to make Nigeria a better place. We have been trying since independence. It hasn't worked, and may never work. Nigeria's complex array of problems cannot be solved in one day or in one regime. Development requires a series of sincere and concrete steps over a long period of time I don't know how old you are , but it you look back at our not too distant past, you will see that each time Nigeria had taken a few steps forward, a Buhari or a Buhari-like character comes along to take 10 steps backward. The politics and tribe and religion has will continue keep Nigeria unworkable. Tribe and Religion can never allow for a unified vision for the country. Just imagine how we ended up with a Buhari, after 16 years of progressive leadership of Obasanjo and Jonathan. Both did not solve all of Nigeria's problems, but both united Nigeria on trajectory of growth and progress, and laid foundations that could have taken us higher one step at a time . But as usual, politics of tribe and religion got in the way. Today the politics of tribe and religion takes center stage in every aspect of governance. As long as there are Buharis at the center of leadership, there is no hope for a united nor progressive Nigeria. 2 Likes |

4Play: I completely concur with this. Nigeria would have escaped that recession if the flexible exchange rate policy Buhari inherited had been maintained and if Emefiele had simply shown PMB the door, instead of allowing political meddling in setting forex policies. Fantasist dream of a fixed exchange rate or a strong exchange rate policy which will run the country aground and fail to diversify the economy. 1 Like |

Originalsly: What I hate about Nigerians like you is that you tell half truths. To start with, oil production when Jonathan took over was significantly down, he increased minimum wage to 18,000. That had an effect of government finances, high oil prices also meant higher subsidy payments. Under Jonathan we tripled electricity generation. If Naira was 150 when he took over and after 5 years it was 199. It shows inflationary pressures are stronger in Buhari's 5 years in charge. The slide in oil price started in 2014. The question any discerning mind should ask is why did recession start in 2016? The answer is simple, Buhari mismanaged Nigeria both economically and politically since he took office. His utterances and actions scared investors and potential investors, emboldened groups like the Niger Delta Avengers and created room for cronies to round trip on the Naira/USD. The reason Russia is not vulnerable now is that they used the last glut to reform and build their reserves. Even Saudi Arabia has embarked on modest reforms. What reforms has the Buhari government embarked on? To the best of my knowledge, none. Stop misleading people! All you posted are half truths that will not help Nigerians learn the lessons they need to learn in a bid to push for a better society. |

PHijo: Buhari took over in 2015..... with oil price slumping and continuing to slump until it got to below production cost. Didn't you expect a recession to follow? The same is happening now.... and even worse because it is world wide..... regardless of who is running the country... a recession is coming. A recession doesn't happen overnight.... neither a recovery. How was Saudi Arabia doing in 2016?....with all their reserves? ...how was Venezuela doing then? ... both went thru recessions. Countries that depended on oil suffered recession in 2016. Nigeria was no different... nor was the worse hit. |
Re: Naira Depreciates To ₦410 Per Dollar As Local Currency Weakens by fr3do(m): 8:23pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
GboyegaD: This is true, according to textbook economics BUT Nigerians do not have drive to sufficiently export anything other than crude oil. How non oil exports are infinitesimal compared to oil. We mostly export raw materials or semi-finished goods, missing out from getting full value of the production chain. We need to import capital goods and machinery to standardize our exports, a devalued currency discourages this. In conclusion, floating the Naira will not stimulate any substantial increase in exports, it will just create hardship for people of this imports dependent economy. 2 Likes |

Originalsly: The recession was Buhari's fault! Recessions could be averted. Who would you blame for a weak growth of 2 percent? The problem with Buhari is that he doesn't understand geopolitics, diplomacy, international trade or how economies function. With such people in charge progress is an illusion. 1 Like |

fr3do: I do not agree with you however, I wouldn't want to over emphasize on it as I am not a macroeconomist. While it seems we do not have the drive, the bureaucracy in place makes it difficult to reach a very good condition without better empirics. Nigerian export sector has boasted of substantial growth in both raw commodities and finished produce, however, the policies in place have not helped improve exports as much. Holding/controlling inflation, exchange rate, and interest rate by the CBN is not possible either if we are truly aiming for growth. |
