seguno2: I will disagree with you on the GEJ systematically addressing corruption part in so far as it implies he intended to reduce corruption. But I note your point that having wrong policies makes corruption more likely. The classic example os the multiple exchange rates arising from Buhari's insistence on a fixed rate. It has meant that the highly connected are able to buy dollars at N305 and sell it at N500. 2 Likes |

greatgod2012:the problem with Nigeria is Nigerians. We can never make laws against these thieves like Japan or China cuz some foolish and hopeless youths will support them. DSS arrested 'corrupt' judges, the whole world went loose with different criticisms. Now imagine the government sentencing David Mark or Shekarau or Akpabio to death?.. Plenty of the youths will take up arms in their defense. We live in a country where all these people will always go scot-free....cuz ethnicity and religion has over shadowed our reasoning..... 2 Likes 1 Share |

kahal29: I very much agree with your position. The exchange rate is a function of demand and supply. When we have instances of people having direct access to loot hard currencies like this, with such fund not circulated, we are shrinking the dollar (hard currency supply), thereby allowing demand to exceed supply with concurrent increase in the exchange rate as we now have it at N500/$. Equally, where people have access to non productive fund (local cash) through corruption and money laundry, the easiest and convenient form of storage and transporting such loots is through conversion to hard currencies. This will increase demand for hard currencies and in view of the fact that its not for any productive reasons, it will be sourced at any given exchange rate most probably through the black market. This too will negatively impact on the exchange rate of the country. All these added together has brought us to the point where we are now in the country. 1 Like 1 Share |

mayoor15: Thousands of dollars you say! Do you know that in 2014 - Nigeria received $50bn nonoil export forex inflows? $21bn was foreign investment, $10bn nonoil exports and $20bn remittances. In 2015, foreign investment fell to $9bn and $5bn in 2016. Nonoil exports fell to $4bn in 2015. You have dollar scarcity in 2017, not simply because of the actions of the likes of Yakubu prior to May 2015, but because in addition to lower oil prices, your president has enacted policies that have reduced the incentives for businesses/investors to bring in dollars into Nigeria. You have lost tens of billions of dollars due to poor policies. The Naira was N220 to the dollar in May 2015 and N500 to the dollar today as a result of inept policies. 3 Likes |

Who made the inept policies, guy forget your hatred for buhari and stop displaying your hypocritical analysis online, you blame the President while leaving the incompetent CBN governor, if he is removed now, people like you will shout tribalism, religion oppression etc. With all the policies your hero enacted, what sort of economy did he leave behind? And you say $50bn nonoil export forex inflows, can't laugh, how much was Nigeria total dollar reserve then self, bringing up incoherent fact and analysis just to cover for some people excesses, if that was true, Nigeria should have not entered recession in 2014.

mayoor15: You are a mo-ron. I condemned the appointment of Emefiele when it was first announced and have always called for us his sacking (you only have to go through my posts on Nairaland). That notwithstanding, the insistence on a fixed exchange rate is Buhari's explicitly stated position. As for nonoil forex inflows, this is publicly available information provided by the current government which your benighted and poorly informed mind ought to acquaint itself with before opining on matters beyond your competence. 2 Likes |

But the worst thing is that the government is not punishing these people or anyone for all these wicked crimes. No such criminals are punished in Nigeria except the ones that are caught by the European countries and America and are prosecuted in those countries. Nigeria is also a country of injustice and gross darkness for none of these criminals are punished by imprisonment and the likes. Wicked citizens are committing evil crimes but the government is committing greater crimes by not punishing any of them that committed the crimes but are letting them go free. 1 Like |

The stupid phrase of "innocent until proven guilty" shouldn't be applicable here for the "unfortunate" Andrew Yakubu. I don't understand why there are no plans on ground already to "hang" life out of him. What is he still doing alive? |

4Play:You're deliberately being foolish! You're just quoting figures without sense. Why did FDI and FPI into Nigeria decrease within the period you quoted? Foreign investors couldn't make any dollars in Nigeria again and repatriate! Because we no longer had the dollars to give them! oil fell from USD110 to USD 30. FPI's and FDI's are not charity organisations, they go after the dollars and exit when you can't guaranty their dollars. They all left because the ineffectual Buffon drained our reserves from >USD60billion when he came to >USD33billion when he left. A large chunk of it ended up with the likes of mama peace, diezani, yakubu, aluko and omokare. 2 Likes 1 Share |
