INFLATION AND THE EFFECTS OF DEREGULATION

With the removal of subsidy and petrol selling for N145 per litre, Nigerians are thrown into panic and fear because of the purported effects of the deregulation with some envisaging further inflation.
But the purpose of deregulation is intended to do the exact opposite.

If well managed this deregulation could mean that;

other players come into the downstream sector and price is pushed downwards

with the creation of private refineries, scarcity will be addressed. creation of jobs across all Nigerian sectors and reduction in importation further strengthening the naira.

Nigeria is going through trying times but remember America went through a recession in 2008 and today they have recovered.
With good policies driving the economy, Nigeria should be able to come out of where it presently finds itself.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London.

This view although popular is sometimes unhealthy , because real success and achievements take time. Not everyone who is unmarried at 30 will marry late or unaccomplished at 30 is a failure. For short term goals and minimal achievements, 30 is fine. I even read about someone bragging on how she had a masters degree and was married with two kids at 30. The question no one asked her was 'what had she done with the masters degree and how her children were faring academically? ' It's not enough to get married and have kids before 30 or even finish a masters degree? Is she fulfilled as a person? Had she discovered purpose and was she on her way to fulfilling it? You see we all want to brag when it seems as if we better than the next person. Alas! Many of us are ignorant. Many Nigerian billionaires became billionaires only after 30, many ...
