Do u know the meaning of executive power?
NL should be showing people's age so we know who is engaging us abeg.
It's frustrating talking to kids
Do you know what legislative power is?
How old were you when abacha had executive power?
What of murtala, ironsi nko?
Why didn't Ibb stay put since he had executive powers?
You think you're the only one with power Ko?
Other power brokers will just be looking at you riding roughshod over them that brought you to power? Even sauron needed an Orc army even thanos dare not try to do it alone and you think some barely popular politician Will do and undo with no challenge?

Executive power is the power that is democratically given to the head of the executive arm of govt, in other words, "the president"
Know the difference between executive power and abuse of power.

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.

Seriously, do we even need to debate this again? Is that not what Buhari did for 8 years that got us into a debt to revenue ratio of 97% without any serious economic expansion? Why will anyone advocate we continue on that ruinous path?

Question: U re the eldest brother in a house of several children.. u have been away for a while and your immediate brother has been in charge of the family and business which brings in money.... U came back home to discover the business is not making half of the money it was making b4 and infact ur brother has borrowed heavily so that the family can maintain 60% of the previous lifestyle... he has borrowed so much that almost all the little revenue coming in is going to paying debt and so he keeps borrowing..

What do u do when u come back to take over?
Do u stop borrowing, ensure all revenue goes to paying debt and STARVE the family to death?
OR IMPROVE the business REVENUE, renegotiate debt payment terms and make sure that basic things are still provided the family while other kobo of income goes to paying debt...

You stop the leakages restructure the debts then Borrow more to expand the business and increase revenue

But it should be done in a way that new revenue from expansion of the business must be greater than debt interest payment

This is what banks do all the times to big client... Borrow them more money to recover older debt

improve revenue, renegotiate debt payment and make lasting decisions that will bounce back the business.

It's same model the present administration is doing.
U can't be borrowing more to expand business that is choked with debt already.

You are not very smart. ur business is on the verge of collapse due to debt and ur only way of salvaging the business is to acquire more debt? grin grin
You think banks are daft when they stop lending money to some companies that is ridden with excess debts?
One of the ways to get out of debt is to sell shares, or rather sell some assets.
Diamond sold all his shares to Access when they got into debt, if the best idea was to borrow, they wouldn't have sold their company?

Lols @richmond500, @mrvitalis.. I'm enjoying this your debate on the simplified version of Nigerian problem... So for more reality, the business is crude production... it has declined cos of lack of new investment by the oil coys(old wells are dying out), insecurity and policy inconsistency... we used to produce 2.1mbpd b4 buhari came in... he left it at 1.1mbpd.. another reason for revenue decline is oil price from over $100 in 2014 to aboutt $75 now.(beyond our control)

The problem is Nigeria is focused on selling one products that others are selling and selling to sale cheaper than your production cost

The trick is to borrow more money and start selling other products that are moving

We import stock fish from Norway valued at about 30 million dollars yearly... But Norway imports chocolate valued at 200 million dollars per year

Offer interest free loans to the already existing chocolate producers in Nigeria, link them up to Norway chocolate importers to produce according to the taste of Norway people ( this is why Presidents make trips)

We import from China, but china needs corn to feeds it's pigs ducks and chicken... U know what else can replace corn? Dried cassava

Empower our cassava farmers, given loans to buy equipments to dry cassava chips and link then to China to balance our trade

This are just few examples... Things things no hard we have not just had smart leaders

As long as that business have asset and have a new management team banks would give them more loan... It was done for Trump, it was done for ifeanyi uba... You obviously never done business before

I wanted to point out that the fundamental problem is revenue which is what led to the borrowing to keep up.. And yet, nobody is talking about improving that revenue as a matter of emergency!!

we import a lot so revenue is foreign earnings(or what will substitute for import)... I can't see much of how this govt is working on improving that revenue... I see them trying to reduce borrowing by reducing our luxuries but I can't see much on improving revenue

Okay, let's engage... Do you know the benefits or advantages of a stable currency to your economy

How does borrowing to defend naira make your currency stable?

You’ll only just create arbitrage which is exactly what Buhari government did.

People like Airpeace will just get the money at official rate, send it abroad, bring it back and sell at parallel rate. If you borrow $5bn, they will burn it finish in no time.

So how will you pay it back?

Stability of an exchange rate is the fundamental thing needed for economic development

It's what build trust on the currency trust

Trust is the most valuable thing of an economy

How does borrowing money to defend the naira make it stable? When you mean stable, do you mean official rate stability where you have the parallel rate deviating at almost +70% margin?

At some point, you’ll reach the threshold of how much you can borrow so what will happen at that point?

Considering the fact that most of our crude is already loan tagged too and we need massive investment to make new oil well to flow for export.

So you mean you don’t pay part of the principal in the monthly repayments? Why then does loan have term of payment if bank only care about interest only ?

How will they be liquid if they can’t get their principal? Or you think banks just manufacture money from the air?

The fact is you are limited in thinking the only way to defend the naira is your APC primitives style selling dollar at give away price

Obi is talking about more complex system of shutting demand by providing credit to make sure demand for dollar reduce and for example earning increase

😂hear yourself and ask if what you are saying make any sense.

How can you shut demand by providing credit? How much can you borrow that will satisfy the demand?

If you borrow $5bn, give it to companies in terms of of credits in a nation where we depend on imports for virtually most sectors of production. So all the recurring cost of product imports, school fees payment abroad, other technological imports, and etc will be placed on standstill and only people with access to Obi credit will be able to afford them?

The dollar he will be crediting them, how much will he be giving it to them in naira value? Or your proposition means they pay back in dollar so you can fully dollarize the economy for a selected few and give room for endless arbitrage.

Obi is a clueless being. Unfortunately, you are brilliant than him even with you parading such novice level of thinking.

Infact, Your IQ + Obi IQ = Your IQ

This is a big lie, you have to understand the money market.

—First, you need to understand that business loan tenure is not a suggestion, it is a contract. The banks don’t want their money tied up forever, they are not Father Christmas.

—Secondly, borrowing multinationals in Africa money is enough risk already. Economy could crash, regime change could happen, inflation could eat everything up. So the longer you stretch the loan beyond tenure, bank risk not getting their principal back.

— Banks don’t like loan that lingers forever coz even that principal, they also need it to reinvest.

No bank in the world care about interest alone with no plan of getting their principal in the realizable future. Except if it’s a fraudulent bank.

Imagine bank having $10bn, then borrowing people $9bb at once and depending only on interest at 8% APR, how will such bank be able to stand in 10 years time?

What I find funny is that You guys against loand are all supporters of APC That have taken the most loans in Nigerians history

But Obi says he would borrow you are now now suddenly against loans? ?


Back to the discussion
For a bank to give 10 billion means you have asset they can take valued at that so their money is secured... Especially fractional banking system we practice... Intrest is the real. Money spinner

So as a government if you don't believe in your local companies how would dey grow

You don’t even understand what you’re saying.

Nations don’t just stop import because they wanted to. They need infrastructure and mass scale development to be able to self sufficient.

If you give $1bn to Innoson today, he will still continue to import massively unless if Nigeria advance in steel industry, infrastructure and Energy, manufacturing, expertise and etc. Finance itself is just one of the items.

Give him $1bn today, he will continue to import tomorrow coz he need factors of production and the money will need to be paid back.

You and Obi will just be wasting money and Onyeama will be using the money you give him for business to be round tripping like he did earlier. Obi is a joke
