i have up to 30btc but cant see it due to low rate of dolla (spammers in the house will understand)

That is why I keep saying that PDP has no justification to insult or criticise APC because both of them are the same killers of the economy. PDP met the currency at N90 in the black market in 1999 and left it at N300 in 2015 when they left power. APC met it at N300 in 2015 according to the post and has murdered the currency to over N612 in 2022 and they are still unrelenting and the murdering keeps growing embarassed. The same group of people changing parties but with their evil personalities still remaining embarassed embarassed

Buhari met naira sleeping stylishly on dollar in 2015 and immediately gave it a flight ticket to oblivion,imagine Naira competing with Malawi Pasco and ugadan shillings for the most useless currency in the world,who would have thought that Buhari was capable of pulling such a miracle in less than 7 years

civilian govt of the SECOND REPUBLIC and MILITARY should be in the best position to answer that question.
Lastly the REBUILDING of FCT ABUJA was a total waste of fund that further led to the collapse of the naira

I am not PDP man but I strongly think they have justification ...

Buhari had promised us many things included this very one issue.





So stop defending the failure called Mo. Buhari

From 1999 immediately PRIVATISATION started with Obasanjo we lost it all... Politicians are the players in the private sectors. Introduction of higher domination currency allow corrupt to go higher day in day out.

Currency is like every other commodity; the demand for it determines its value. Outside and inside Nigeria, most want to offload the naira. So, until naira becomes safe to keep.
DomPerignon: 3:49pm On Apr 25
There was hardly any demand for imported consumable goods.

We even had our own car manufacturing base that supplied all the cars on the roads. Even car tyres were produced locally 100%.

The problem is globalization and demand for cheap imported crap.

Until we begin to understand that an import based economy only serves to drain our resources leading to capital flight and lack of manufacturing jobs that leads to further unemployment, we will continue servicing other countries economies and their employment base through imports.

Obasanjo's privatization was flawed in every way. Rather than unbundle the decaying government corporations back into the hands of Nigerian businesses, Obasanjo sold them to western companies that are only interested in serving their share holders.

If the privatization under Obasanjo had limited the sales of government owned corporations or licensing of their services (Nitel, NEPA, etc) to local businesses we won't be in this mess.

MTN which has replaced Nitel repatriates huge amount of wealth annually back to SA. To do this MTN will source for FX using the revenue in naira they generated.

It's not hard to see that Obasanjo's privatization model , although saw to an uptick in FX inflows in the begining , set the one way wealth transfer out of the country.

Whenever I hear any govt talking and boasting of FIDs I shake my head.

We don't need any useless multinational corporation that owes fiduciary obligations to only. their foreign share holders.

The Dangote refinery is another money drain as Dangote owes foreign investors and banks a lot of money for funding his $20bn refinery. That there is another bottomless capital flight sink that will take decades for Dangote to repay the loan and investors.

PDP met naira at ₦90 left it at ₦220 in 2015 oga that's 144% raise in 16 years.....16 years . But PDP also took our economy from 59 billion dollars to 575 billion dollars in 2014


APC met naira at ₦220 now it's 1650 that's 650% raise. In just 10 years .. APC met GDP at around 575 billion dollars... Now it's 188 billion
dollars

And you have the mind to say PDP is not better than APC? ...
