Aaah aaah no no no

This can't be true na... It can't be true APC cant be this wicked

Tinibu knew this is our reserves and want to fight war? That's would drain more of our reserve?

Who would even give us loans now

please Peter Obi withdraw your case in court...Nigeria is beyond repair if this is true

Obi has no case .
He and his Ibo brothers are only deceiving themselves.
Peter Obi can never be president

I think Buhari, Emefiele, Malami and that Kyari of NNPC did the fraud. Stealing and lying to Nigerians. But Tinubu's hands are not clean because he gave the previous administration all kinds of ungodly support.

Tinubu claimed he saved N1trn in July. You also claimed it as evidence his policies are working. N1trn then was about $1.5bn.

The closest to the $1b a month savings is the Bloomberg article below but it adds the currency devaluation played a vital role. Devaluing the currency from 470 or so to around 750 officially today also increased governments revenue. So, 2 things were at play.

I am trying to be as fair as possible- looking at articles that support your statement even if goes against mine.

So, fuel subsidy removal never saved $1bn in a month.

Tinubu has the right to support any contestant of his choice but did Tinubu ask Buhari to destroy Nigeria?

Was Tinubu part of his government? Was he a minister or adviser in Buhari government? Think before you comment.


See dis one...........No worry Tinubu assured you all that he will continue from where Buhari chop remain!

I laugh at most people calling out President Tinubu and not Emeliefe cum Buhari on this outburst by JP Morgan.

Those with sense knows that the recent time different outburst had President Tinubu underhand, this including the release of CBN Annual Reports, etc. I believe more is to come.

Pres. Tinubu is stylishly making people to know the rot he met without those words coming out from him or his office.

What matters to the common man is better life and not the amount of billions in foreign reserve.
But you do know the impact of low foreign reserve on the credibility of third world country govt and ability to service their debts?

Impact on the currency of a country that has a very narrow stream of forex like 9ja that depends over 90% on oil export?
The key function of CBN to manage foreign reserve?

That foreign reserve is an asset while local currency is a liability because govt can print it without actually earning it and bad for inflation/currency?

Importance in times of crisis/upheaval to still meet obligations to creditors abroad?

All these affect the value of the currency in your pocket, especially when freely floated.

A volatile currency can't allow citizens have a good quality of life.

In accounting, what you really have is 3.7billion if all other things are deducted...that is the real figure..they have factored in debts and other foreign deductions...Nigeria owes alot...about 15 billion dollars to Goldman Sachs and co...which nigeria cant repay in due time meaning they will deduct the money from the foreign reserve as stated in terms and condition in accessing the loan....the external reserve is really low...if this subsidy can be used in settling 500bn monthly debts then good..if mismanaged again, then there will be wahala in the nearest future....



Na 500 billion naira you go give jp Morgan? Better start looking for dollar equivalent! It's gonna take a miser and cost cutter to even begin to stabilize down situation. Obi is that kind of person!

There's an Igbo on this forum who supported Buhari and is still supporting Tinubu.

Your last line made sense bro,my uncle is a top APC man in imo state,he was uzodinma right hand,he campaigned for buhari but we no send am,he did it to get Abuja link up which it seems he succeeded,in other words,it's hardcore igbo APC soldiers that voted buhari and tinubu but they are few,but in Yoruba land,it's not only party loyalist,many Yoruba voted tinubu because of tribe,religion,or Igbo hate

Sorry to say this,many also voted obi,but to be candid,if osibanjo was on the ballot,maybe only 5 percent will vote obi,maybe....

Let me tell you something about igbo,we don't vote because one is our brother,rochas son in-law is my brother,,5 minutes walk to his house from mine,passes my gate whenever he is coming home,but we refused to vote for him and voted ihedioha not because he is a bad man,but just because we don't want rochas to be a Godfather like tinubu in imo state.

That is igbos for you,I have never met ihedioha because he is from mbaise far from me,but I do.see rochas son in-law,drinking palm wine and ugba beside his house during xmas.but all we want is good governance not a puppet,you know.the truth bro,Just like we voted OBJ over ojukwu because we didn't want another war and wanted to repair obj for not annihilating us when he came with Russian bomber jets to ask us to surrender during the civil war,and that's why he made many igbos his cabinet and loves igbos so much.

You sound like a reasonable Yoruba man,I appreciate you bro,but you know your people.truth be told.in this country,igbos and edos vote differently unlike others,I really admire good yorubas when I see them 👍

You are right, judging from most comments.

However, their complaints serve the same purpose as Nigeria having 3 billion dollars as net reserve is preposterous.
What is really the gain in someone claiming his salary is 1 million naira when he is entitled to a payment of only 30 thousand naira at the end of the month.
The reality is that our foreign reserves is seriously depleted whether the gross is $37 billion. Since the net is $3 billion, the $37 billion is what we have but do not have.

Your argument is totally flawed.
Orji Uzor Kalu ruled Abia for 16 years at least. Was he good? Was any of his appointees good?
Yorubas voted Goodluck too. And Yaradua. You seem to forget that in terms of margins, Obi got more votes from his region than any other candidate in the last election. Tinubu lost two states in SW. Atiku lost one state in NE. Kwankwaso lost six states in NW. Obi won ALL five states in SE. If we're looking at strictly tribal lens, that alone makes Igbo look bad. It's a seismic shift for Atiku to go from winning all SE states in 2019 to losing all. He couldn't even get 25% in any!!
That said, you fail to realise how strong Tinubu's political network is especially in the SW. And with good reason too. He stood up to the tyranny of PDP in the SW in those days. With that, he won so many youths over.
I know a lot of Yorubas and northerners who voted for him and are regretting that now. It doesn't mean you'll expect every Yoruba who voted him to have the same feeling especially with how divided our politics has become.
Let truth be told, if Obi had won and was fumbling at this stage, with the toxic political atmosphere we have now, many Obidients from his region will double down their support for him and label anyone who doesn't do so haters. It's a product of the divisive politics birthed by APC especially in the Buhari years.
The truth is with time, if Tinubu continues to fumble, support among Yoruba middle class will start to waver. But if Igbos make the mistake of making it about tribe, tinubu and his goons will capitalise on that to turn the conversation away from his performance or lack of it to tribal goading and we'll be back to square one
