We have lived a false sense of weaith & prosperity, producing nothing and importing everything. The truth is that membership of IMF or BRICS or African Union will not change our prospects until there is massive local production of what we need, coupled with globally competetive quality products for the export markets. The earlier we know this, the better because time is not on our side.
Good comment ! But I expect you add eradication of corruption too. If Govt budget 200billion on a project and this fifty or seventy billion ends in personal pockets, and the project is not completed or abandoned..... we is the future for such country ?
Yet how do u get the so called dollar for purchasing those equipment to do those massive products as u call it,? We must push to leave this so call IMF America connection period. US will not let Nigeria go to buy things we need from Kenya or South Africa, or any part of the world without the use of there currency the Dollar, that's why we must push to leave and join the bricks block. If u do it to trade with Indian without dollar there will be immediate terror attack from left to right so as to destabilize the effort try go and listen to Former president Johnathan when he said the pressure from American and Interference of the US government is more than enough to say we are currently being colonized by the US . Think all u want but if we don see or do things outside the dollar Nigeria will keep crying,.. look at Ghana or South Africa, why the US is not so much talking to them ? Ghana or South Africa President can directly face-to-face insult Joe Biden but who can tell the US in Nigeria face to face to get out from our government officials ?
Unfortunately, this is not about time not being on our side again. We have simply lost the opportunity by not doing the right things 30 to 40 years ago. It's like a 60 year old man trying to compete in 100 m Olympics with 23 year olds. We do not have the infrastructure necessary to cater for today because these same people and some other Nigerians stole the money in the last 40 years. For example (hypothetical figures), a road that costs $1b 20 years ago now costs $10 to 15b to make. Today, that road may cost just $1b to maintain, but we don't even have such road. So, like I tell my friends, the solution to Naija's problem is simple. God should come down himself (he should not send any angel), put one leg in Lagos and another in Abuja, and do Genesis all over again..... Let there be light, then we will have light. Let there be road, then we will have good roads.
I concur with you you Mr Falana IMF and World Bank are Western powers don't believe their advice they're not friendly with the 3rd world economy God bless you Amen 🙏 Ijmn
It is not just by joining BRICS, we can still join and pay N100M for a car from China. What we need to do and do really fast is to activate local production and push products out.
U cannot activate local productions without foreign investment, which you get by alliance. We need to stop following the Western proposals, Nigeria/China trade alone is huge. Not to add India
you spoke unwisely here sir, Currency swap will reduce a ₦100M car to roughly ₦60M because if you're trading in chinese currency, it's cheaper than sourcing dollars then paying China. Ask most of our people who do imports of products from China, it is found to be ridiculously cheap but when they arrive Nigeria, they hike prices for maximum gain plus the customs aren't also helping matters
@@DBDambaone of the aims of BRICS to lessen the strength/value of the dollar against other currencies, if that is achieved then your your argument is valid
IMF and World Bank are not our problems. We are our own problems - corruption and weak production base and insatiable appetite for the consumption of foreign goods. All the countries in BRICKS are production based countries including South Africa. If go into BRICKS as we are, we will just be like a conductor in YOUNG SHALL GROW bus traveling from Port-Harcourt to Kano. Where do you see a country which import cheese from Lebanon, with all the cows we have and make progress? Lagos alone slaughtered over 200 cows daily but we import shoes from China and Europe. We have 850km of coastline but we import fish - Chinese and other European countries bring their fishing ships, harvest our fish, package them in the ship and re-export the fish back to Nigeria. In Kano, we have Sharanda and Tiga as well as Baganda lake; yet we couldn’t irrigate our land to produce food. The IMF hasn’t anything to do with all these.

The dollar is one of the problems. That's why other countries are rejecting the idea of it's supremacy over every currency. More over, US is the country that shield our corrupt leaders the most.
Femi Falana, go and sit down. You are so eloquent in establishing how to move the country forward , but you fail in your profession to support justice for Mohbad. Instead, reverse is the case, how do we trust your analysis when you twist truth truncated and overturned the Justice for Mohbad to Justice for Wunmi that suppose to be the prime suspect
Obi can't do anything with our current constitution, or you think once obi becomes president he will be given orders any how? Democracy doesn't work like that.

This submission is myopic in my opinion. While I acknowledge the over dependance on the dollar, there is a reason the dollar is dominant. We can't talk of ditching the dollar when we are producing nothing....
and the crude oil we produce is nothing?If you know how much trading our crude oil in naira will affect dollar, you will then understand the reason the university in US cunnily covered Tinubu up on his criminal conviction and university certificate issues. He had to be gagged with his past so we remain in the slavery

He really needs prayer from us so that he can continue to speak for us 🙏. We love you, sir ❤️
He's only trying to make up for his past mistake of defending Tinubu's fake certificate suit by his boss( Gani fawehinmi.
He is saying the truth, and only the truth will save Nigeria. Hearken to his voice and save the nation.

We love u too
Thank you sir, God bless you for saying the truth

Exactly.
I have preached this for more than 10years
Tinubu devotion is to the west, especially france. He would never join Bricks.
They sponsored his election and emergence. He has already started withdrawing all legal tussles involving their dirty oil companies in Nigeria
With the people's pressure on hunger & the junta in waiting, he better act soon.

They still need visa to the West, mostly to US. So, they're afraid to be denied visas for them and their family!
