As Naira Struggles, Long-Term Investments Fade, Making Economic Development Harder. What Nigeria Can Do To Help Naira [video]

Many asked “how can we stabilize the naira?” after I shared my experience how Naira deterioration dislocated  my entry career level playbook to invest 15% of my earnings in the Nigerian stock exchange, and how that decision has turned out to be sub-par. If you did not watch the video, it is here.

In this video, I try to answer. But of course, you can also read my inaugural presidential address which I have hypothetically written since 2018 on how we can fix some issues in Nigeria. Lol (Do not read too much into it since as a teacher, I am not sure I can afford to buy pure water for the national delegates. Let us just have fun!)

Yet seriously, I do believe that private capital is the vehicle to save Nigeria as the government does not have the capacity to build the platforms of commerce which will enable fundamental innovation and productivity. My thesis is for the government to explore what will make the private capital to LIKE and LOVE Nigeria because that is the hope right now.
