Dear @StatiSense, Thank you for your commentary. Actually, what you posted is deceptive and manipulative. The Naira's value under General Buhari is not the same as under President Tinubu, and quantifying Nigeria's total debt solely in Naira, without context, given that much of that debt is external loans taken out in dollars, paints a false picture of financial profligacy by the Tinubu government. Here are the facts that you failed to tell Nigerians. When President Jonathan handed over to General Buhari on May 29, 2015, Nigeria's total public debt was $63.8 billion, equivalent to ₦12.1 trillion. From $63.8 billion, Nigeria's total public debt rose to $108.2 billion on May 29, 2023, when General Buhari handed over to President Tinubu. I have attached official figures from the Debt Management Office showing a snapshot of Nigeria's debt on the handover date (it is published quarterly, which is why it is dated March 31, 2023) for your information. Please note that this is directly from the DMO and has not been altered by me. You may want to visit dmo.gov.ng to verify this data. When you add 'illegal' debts taken but not declared by that administration, the figure rises to $113 billion, possibly higher. Some of that debt is why the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria is on trial. As of today, Nigeria's total public debt is $103.9 billion. It has actually reduced! While our total debt rose by $44.4 billion under General Buhari (or $50 billion if you add irregular debt), in contrast, total public debt under President Tinubu has actually decreased by $4.3 billion (or $9.1 billion when you account for the unapproved debts under Buhari). However, due to the change in the Naira's value resulting from the flotation of our currency under the Tinubu administration, quantifying our total public debt in Naira gives the false impression that it has risen. Can you please tell Nigerians the dollar amount of their total public debt on May 29, 2023, versus the current dollar amount, rather than giving them Naira figures without context? I hope you will use your good offices to correct the wrong impression you have given. Thank you. Reno Omokri Ambassador Designate to Mexico. Gospeller.
