These aides and misyarning.

You compare Nigeria to Russia. Russia that still trades with the USA. Do you think if Nigeria is sanctioned by the USA we can take it like Russia?

casualobserver:

No benefit. Just estacodes for government officials going for the meetings/jamborees.

Our problem as a nation is that we are not productive. We import almost everything we consume.

Strategic alliances is only in favour of producers not consumers.

Here are five quotes from Robert Kiyosaki about the U.S. dollar.

1. **On the USD and Hyperinflation**:
“BRICS nations are driving the USD into hyperinflation. Buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin before the coming depression.”
(*Kitco*, May 2024).

2. **On Fiat Money**:
"The U.S. dollar is fake money—fiat currency backed by nothing. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are real money."
(*Finbold*, January 2024).

3. **On the End of the American Empire**:
“All empires come to an end. It’s the end of the American empire. When cash ends, war follows.”
(*Nasdaq*, December 2023).

4. **On Protecting Wealth**:
“The best investments in 2024 are gold, silver, and Bitcoin. These are the only ways to safeguard your wealth against the government’s financial mismanagement.”
(*Finbold*, January 2024).

5. **On the U.S. Economy**:
“America’s economy is in serious trouble. The dollar is losing its global reserve currency status, and hyperinflation is coming.”
(*Kitco*, May 2024).

These quotes highlight Kiyosaki's concerns about fiat currency and his preference for tangible and digital assets as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

You be mumu. Was it Tinubu that made such comment?

Firebomber:
Is that the reason why they wrote Nigeria in Hausa language during there last BRICS summit?

On a serious note, what's the benefit of joining BRICS since we import more than we export?

“If the BRICS feels they are going to have their currency to trade, it is all well and good, and if Nigeria decides to join BRICS, it will be better for it because BRICS has major economies and Trump’s threat will not have any effect at all on Nigeria if the country decides to be part of BRICS.

“If Trump carries out his threat, it is also going to have a ripple effect on the American economy because international relations is reciprocatory and other countries will also do the same for America,” Abolutin said.

A former Nigerian Ambassador to the Philippines, Yemi Farounbi, however, called for caution, urging Nigeria to prioritise its national interests over aligning with global power blocs.

“If Nigeria intends to challenge the dollarisation of the global economy, it must ask itself critical questions: Is this genuinely in Nigeria’s national interest? Or is it aligning with a foreign agenda?” Farounbi stated.


He tasked the Nigerian government to focus on national interest and ensure that its decisions on international matters were borne out of patriotism.

Farounbi said, “It is assumed that BRICS nations are acting in their national interests. However, Nigeria must ensure that it is truly prioritising its national interests and not serving those of another power.

“For Nigeria, such an alliance raises important concerns. How does this benefit an economy reliant on crude oil, one that produces little, consumes heavily, and struggles with basic infrastructure? How does it address the country’s lack of adequate electricity, potable water, roads, schools, and job opportunities?

“Nigeria must focus on its own national interests. As the late Obafemi Awolowo said in 1979, ‘If I become president of Nigeria, I would not travel out of the country for four years because Nigeria’s problems are right here.’”

He warned that if Nigeria involved itself in a global struggle it did not fully understand, it risked becoming a victim like Italy during World War II.
