Foolish youths aplenty in Nigeria. The president that's working to improve the Nigerian economy by discouraging importation of foods that can be locally produced is who they're cursing.

Look at this wannabe presidential candidate who doesn't know a thing about governance speaking rubbish. I get it that, to be in the news you just have to oppose Buhari especially when you have lazy youths to applaud you.

Nonsense!


Someone is telling me about allowing CBN to be independent and I ask: who gets the blame if everything goes bad? Wasn't it the same Emefiele that released unappropriated billions to Dasuki and GEJ to loot in the name of fighting insurgency? Who bore the brunt? Not Nigerians?

Moghalu just wants to be heard. He is empty!


You are talking rubbish. How best do you encourage local production/producers other than making imported foods more expensive by restricting access to govt dollars? Wannabe Economist!

ArmaniUhuru:
Stupid Government. The aim is to create artificial scarcity and leave an impression that without Fulani presence, hunger will kill Nigerians. In the process they will indirectly make case for RUGA. Look everything that this administration does is to implement RUGA. That is its only agenda.

Barondenigeria:


You clearly have no formal education! If you had the slightest idea of basic economics, you would understand that a CBN restriction on forex for food importers will lead these importers to the black market where they would buy the dollar at higher rates. That cost will be shifted to we the consumers and eventually you'll have a "commodity price inflation".

Many of you Buharists are fantastically dull!

TheGoodJoe:


Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana also had much to say on the issue…”If revolution has become a criminal offence in Nigeria why were the leaders of the APC not charged for claiming to have carried out Nigeria’s democratic revolution which terminated the 16-year rule of the PDP in 2015?” He remarked that the Force had capitalized on the use of the word “revolution” to criminalize the protests.

I guess we know who the real criminal is flaunting court orders and giving directives against the constitution.

Finito.

tiwiex:


The point is he has no power to direct CBN. When politicians direct their central banks, investors get scared and also, what does he know about monetary policies? That job should be for an economist who understands economic tradeoffs. We are wher we are because of this. He takes one seemingly good decision which creates a bigger problem.

throwaway:


The agricultural minsitry should take better measures to help farmers. It's a gradual process of tightening imports while at the same time helping boost local production. You don't just close the door to imports and them hope dat local production improves.

Commentor:

You can import food as you like.

The only issue here is that CBN would not be subsidising your dollar purchase.

Commentor:



Falana is Sowore's counsel.

He can say anything to win his case.

TheGoodJoe:


Do not attack the man, tackle the message. What was posted is short and clear. Arresting Sowore was wrong and criminal.

Commentor:


It is not.

Had Sowore succeeded by now, we would have had another period of uncertainty and upheaval, reminiscent of 2015, just after Buhari took over.

No president would fall for that. Certainly not a second time.

NEIGHBOUR:


So the President who is vested with the power to appoint and also sack the CBN governor can not give directions to it. So the President should watch as the CBN policies destroy his promises to the people. Oga park well.

TheGoodJoe:


You are jailing a man based on assumptions? Sowore was arrested for calling for a Peaceful protest, which is an illegal arrest.

datola:
CBN should not be entirely left alone because the president receives all the blames of economic misfortune.

Moreover, the directive is a welcome development and should be extended to pilgrimage, medical and education trips abroad by all political holders and their families.

Commentor:


Are you aware a court granted a further 45 day detaining by the DSS?

TheGoodJoe:


He said, although the hearing of the application was one-sided as provided by 27(1) of the Terrorism (Prevention) Amendment Act, the use of the word, “may”, in the provision “is directory” and not “discretionary”.

To carry out investigation. Not a proof of a crime. By the way it was a one sided hearing. Which stresses bias.

francesco17:



If you clearly read the statements, you would understand the need to strength our institutions; cbn, nnpc, police, efcc, judiciary etc...
Politician giving out directive freely like a yes command would not help develop our country. After is tenure a new full comes out with its own directives. No minding the fact that this are established bodies with Acts and mandate

Commentor:


When it doesn't favour you it is called bias.

TheGoodJoe:


Is a one sided hearing not bias?

Commentor:


Is your conclusion not one-sided?

Barondenigeria:

TheGoodJoe:


What does my conclusion have to do with it?
The hearing was one sided and the verdict was not a proof of crime. It is for the DSS to go and investigate. Which shows the DSS did not arrest Sowore because of a crime.

Stopping a lawful protest is criminal.

Finito.

Commentor:


Where is the permit Sowore got for such protest?

TheGoodJoe:


Show me the permit given to protests that led to the downfall of poor performing governments.

Commentor:


I see you have abandoned your legality slant so quickly.

TheGoodJoe:


Which kind permit to protest? The arrest is illegal.
