Obi Idea Of Borrowing Money To Save Money Doesn't Solve Anything. by richmond500: 12:49pm On Oct 12 |
Seriously, except carrying his own luggage in airport and getting sympathy votes, Obi hasn't shown anything that will logically qualify him as a presidential material. This is not me hating. Recently Obi idea of saving our currency was to borrow, I think the idea of borrowing money to save money is a very stupid move. Tinubu policies was far better than Obi idea. The problem I have with Tinubu is that he is heartless, don't give me the shit about how his policies will only bring temporary pain and we will smile at the end, that's bullshit. The policies are the kinds that could be executed by a devil. Giving us gbas gbos on a steady is a move that can cause a permanent scar, even though the injury could be temporary, but it could force lots of Nigerians to go through depression, and even if the problems are solved, once u go through depression, u could never get ur sanity back. The heartless policies from Tinubu is something that should be implemented once at a time for 10yrs, so we can easily deal with shock but, giving us all these in 1yr and 6months is white wickedness. That being said, though the policies are bizzare, heartless and black but they are way better than what Obi said, Obi policy was never a solution, rather it was to shift the problem to the future which will be detrimental to the country.. No insult me abeg, no be everytime I deh make use of my home training. 11 Likes |

richmond500:Firstly there is no other solutions to Nigeria present economic pitfall than to borrow... Absolutely not The issue is what you do with the borrowed money that's the Koko When obi talk about defending the naira by directly investing in the People... That's is the fundamental way of currency defending 1) you reduce demand by improving local production on import substitute 2) you increase supply by funding export potential business With a currency devalued to a manageable figure you would have a stable economy in max 18 months Not exchange rate is never a factor but stability of exchange rate Obi has been consistent since his debate with Osibanjo in 2019 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Buhari borrowed for infrastructure He wasn’t perfect but he did where his power reach I see what tinubu is trying to do…but at the position Nigeria is today he needs help and can’t do that job alone Unless it will take us 200 years Either his ministers sit up and stop sleeping Or there comes regional government One man cannot fix all this Wahala Nigeria is too big 3 Likes |

Your submission doesn't show that of an expert and so you only reasoned based on your capacity and understand, When you devalue your currency to get the real value of the currency, you need drastic measures to cushion the effects on the citizens, since the forex is scarce, you need to borrow to make dollars available while using the converted value in naira to support local production that will boast export, improve taxes and returns from interest...this will not in any way increase debt servicing since the money is invested to make money while improving employment |

richmond500:State govt really don’t have much they can do Unless states like Lagos For example if education is privatized on a federal level Who go handle schools way Dey villages and rural areas? Then maybe it balls down to the ministers sitting up and taking beneficial risks ..they too can make money for the country not just receive allocation and spend Woo e go better jare |

mrvitalis:Our currency is floating, with insecurities and investors trusts at stake. Borrowing money to defend a currency that is floating is not something anyone should do. I'd rather he peg the currency back to USD. Not to borrow. It only make sense to borrow and defend a currency when the currency has a chance of being stable, not the naira. 18 Likes |

After devaluing the local currency, the economy is still in shambles and someone thinks the best way is to borrow money to defend a devalued currency?

richmond500: Stabilizing the floated currency is necessary because speculation and scarcity will surely affect the rate by moving the value far higher than the actual leading to more hardship, poverty and aggression as we witness today in Nigeria. Our major source of sorrow today is the higher exchange rate not even the subsidy removal |

The argument was that it was no longer sustainable and I ask, is our situation better today with all the companies that couldn't survive the effect of both policies pulling out? Peter Obi has been consistent from day 1 about to handle this mess. He has been particular about the corruption element of this whole quagmire. We have no choice... WE MUST BORROW! But Obi is not advocating for perpetaul long term borrowing. The man simply see borrowing as a short term measure that acts as a "spark" 1 Like 1 Share |
