It is this same dollar that has been on a steady rise that is a resulting effect on the current high prices of goods and services in the country too?
Persistent rise in the price of goods and services in a country is mostly as a result of bad economy just as it is in Nigeria. If taken some countries as example with stable economy, there is little inflation and yet high standard of living (which matters most) in such countries, unlike how things has been in Nigeria.
Are we being played again, or this is legit upon careful consideration?
What we need is within us in Africa but we are not just getting it right. And this fault is somehow beyond government but some extended within everyone of us. Although, joining BRICS or not, if we continue not to know where we are faulty within ourselves we would not still have a good standard of living.
We also need good leadership. Nigerian GDP was higher in Jonathan time which was the president before former president Buhari, and now incumbent president Tinubu. Buhari came at the time to worsen the nation economy and made it sink. Bad leadership is not helping at all. This is not even only about former president but our leaders generally.
