No 3rd world country or developing country can float it currency with pounds, euro and USD and survive it.

Not even the Russia rubbles or any asian country for that matter.

The USD is the world favorite currency it has a value and appreciate even if they don’t export anything from the US.

Tinubu is paying subsidy bigger than previous istration even when Nigerians are buying the same fuel 4 times the previous price.

How can you float a currency that nobody outside Nigeria wants? Even the CFA has more demand than the Naira in West Africa. Can Tissue paper be floated?

A simple Google can cure ignorance.

In Africa alone, Angola, Madagascar, Uganda, and Malawi has a floating currency.

South Africa has a floating currency too.

Lol. This is pure ignorance with confidence.

India has a floating currency, same as South Africa, Brazil and many other countries like Pakistan, Myanmar, Burma. Infact, almost the whole of South America is floating it's currency despite them being close to the USA.

Buhari made the same statement as far back as 2016 and he was right. Tinubu was goaded into doing so by his masters at the world bank and IMF

We are floating the currency because there isn't any spare dollars to defend the naira.

In one month in 2014 , the then government spent 5 billion dollars to defend the naira.

Our effective forex reserve is 4 billion today.

We are all borrowed up and in severe debt.

As for subsidy, that has to go because cost of refining petrol has shot up. That is why subsidy Costa too much.

We are paying the price for not diversifying our economy away from oil.

If we want a strong currency we have to find more dollars. Now.

The template the mentally challenged, narcoleptic bablubulu should have used is very simple:
Get sworn in,sit down in office,get your kitchen cabinet to critically look at goverment funds,input and output,proffer ideas on how the subsidy removal is to be done,meanwhile get enough palliatives in place,including flooding the transport space with enough commercial vehicles at prices that would not only be affordable,but minimally profit or even non profit nor non loss making,distribute to all state governments and ask them to do a counterpart contribution,at least 100 per state and expand with subsidy removal funds as you deregulate.
What does this transport scheme achieve?:While making transport still affordable with goverment vehicles,it forces the private ones to curtail any excessive transport fare increase by indirect market forces intervention.
Then you see if you would do it in one fell swoop or in stages.
Meanwhile you withhold complete floating of the Naira while appointing a financial expert but with the character of a Buba Marwa as CBN governor to climb down unapologetically on round tripping by banks and other money laundering causes of devaluation.
When you have achieved monetary policy discipline and stability the CBN can not only have the leeway but a clear sight to allow a "regulated deregulated"currency market.This may take up to a year or 2 to achieve.
Also during this 1 to 2 year period the minimum wage should have been increased not just in the public,but private sectors to improve the purchasing power.
By the second or even third year or so you would have set the parameters right to have achieved a full subsidy removal but still keeping a strict "REGULATED DEREGULATED"foreign exchange market.
But when you have a former drug dealer approaching senility,you get what we have and those close to him are very happy things are going this way because he has made several of them billionaires just by his stupidity of floating a naira that cannot withstand a full floating,yesterday,floating,today or tomorrow.

.
So I now ask:Are you ready to buy fuel at 1400-1500/litre because at ₦1650/$ that should be the market price of fuel?
Will you now start printing money to increase the purchasing power of Nigerians when you then allow market forces to determine fuel price?
You people stand arguments on its head when defending Tinubu.
Why is he now paying subsidy caused by naira devaluation through the backdoor if he confidently sticks to the belief fuel should be totally deregulated while naira is completely floated?

That's why I said in my original comment that we are facing the effect of not diversifying

And by the way I am not defending tinubu or any other government. There are things he should be doing that he is not doing.

But oga, since when did showing how bad our economy is amount to a defence of tinubu who in many ways is a part of why we are in the bad situation we are in?

The truth is, we never diversified our economy. Tinubu right now is looking for loans . We don't know how he plans to diversify the economy, meaning things are bleak.

And this is the man you think I am defending?

Oga, read my comment again and this one and think for once. We are broke. Apc should not have been voted in in 2023. I wish they lost.

Don't call me a tinubu er again.

The dollar is the world's currency today and that's why the United States cannot go broke. If the US government needs money they will just print more dollars - the rest of the world subsidises the dollar. Pity Nigeria that's not masively producing for export but foolishly chooses to peg its currency to the dollar.
