The Ineffectiveness Of Stimulating The Nigerian Economy With Free Money. by JoshuaBestPremi(m): 8:41pm On Sep 02, 2023
In these challenging times, the nigerian governments Is exploring various ways to boost Its economy and provide relief to citizens. One popular approach is the distribution of free money as a form of economic stimulus. However, it is essential to understand that this method is not effective as it seem on the surface.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding billions of Naira offer of free money as a palliative to citizens. However, it is crucial to recognize that there is no such thing as free money – the concept merely creates an illusion. In reality, this money is often printed or created out of thin air, which has severe consequences on an economy's stability.

One of the most prominent concerns when it comes to stimulating the economy with free money is the impact it has on inflation rates. Increased money supply without a corresponding rise in production (goods and services) or purchasing power tends to worsen inflation. When more money is introduced into the economy, the value of each individual unit of Naira decreases, resulting in a rise in prices for goods and services. Consequently, citizens end up bearing the burden of increased costs, thereby defeating the purpose of the stimulus.

It is crucial to distinguish between the availability of cash (Naira) and purchasing power. Often, governments assume that by injecting more money into the system, they are addressing the underlying issue. However, the problem lies not in the lack of cash but rather in citizens' ability to purchase goods and services with the cash they have currently. If citizens' purchasing power remains low, merely providing more money will not resolve the root cause of the problem.

To truly stimulate the economy, it is essential to address the factors that impact purchasing power. This includes reducing unemployment rates, enhancing productivity, encouraging investment, and promoting economic growth. By tackling these fundamental issues, the nigeria governments can create an environment where we the citizens have the means and confidence to spend our money, ultimately revitalizing the economy.

While providing immediate relief through free money may seem appealing, it is far from a sustainable solution. Governments need to consider long-term strategies that promote economic stability and growth. Implementing policies that encourage job creation, entrepreneurship, and skill development will have a lasting positive impact on the economy, benefiting both citizens and businesses.
