Nigeria’s enemy are its leaders who serve imperial interests that helps to protect their loot in foreign vaults. The dirt of their past crimes is an open book before the watcher in Europe and when they step out of line, their puppet masters call them back to a waiting room where they sit on stools like a thief, to answer queries from servants of their gods.

There is nothing sensible about devaluing the currency (financial identity) of your people at a time when your people depend on foreign imports for their livelihood. Common sense, which is assumed to be available to the youngest of humans, is often found lacking in the oldest of criminals, who for filthy lucre and glowing garments, sell their people, their land and their souls, for an opportunity to be gifted fancy goods.

If you are depending on imports, you would want to have the advantage against your supplier, wouldn’t you? A strong Naira would have helped you buy products cheaply from the supplier, until you have local sufficiency in the tools and machinery required to produce those products for your people’s needs and then, you devalue as you have local self sufficiency, to take advantage of exports. Doesn’t this make sense? If you agree that it does, how then does this policy by the Nigerian Government make sense, except it is deliberately avoiding dealing with the problems while making the people the scapegoats?

I hope someone would explain the sense in where we are now, by the deliberate actions of these enslaved leaders. I really would love to understand why we made our people poor to favor the Suppliers.
