It is basic economics, the more of “something” you have in circulation, the less valuable it becomes. The reason why Gold is so valuable is because there isn’t a lot of it in the world, it’s a rare commodity. Nigeria must intensify its mining operations and under the leadership of Musa Mohammed Sada we are beginning to see this happen. As a nation, we need to start building up our mineral reserves. We are already endowed with so much minerals so we do not need to buy it, we simply need to exponentially increase our mining output because the $dollar does not have long to go before it finally collapses. China is the biggest buyer of minerals, they have the largest deposit of Gold in the world and they mine it and store it. The Chinese do not sell their minerals because they know that in the coming fiscal tsunami that will soon hit the world, paper money will have no value and the only thing which nations will be able to trade with is minerals. As the Federal Minister of mines and steel development, his Excellency Musa Mohammed Sada is working tirelessly to protect Nigeria from the coming economic storm. His knowledge in mining will help to secure the economic future of this nation and see to it that we do not fall victim to the fiscal incompetence of the western democracies. Africa must understand that it has “real” wealth under its soil and we need to begin to cultivate and store it in preparation for what is coming. We need to stop chasing $dollars and start mining more and more minerals because they’re the true wealth. America prints paper and gives it to us in return for our precious minerals, they’re treating us as fools and enough is enough. 56 If they want anybody to take their paper money seri- ously then they need to stop printing it, because if they don’t, it will become as worthless as monopoly money. We need more and more leaders like Musa Mohammed Sada occupying state governments across the federation. Men who are in tune with the happenings of the times and have not bought into that old colonial lie that “white is right” because they know better. The manner in which the European and American economies were shaken in 2008 and continue to shake till today has shown the whole world just how unstable their economies are. Cyprus went bankrupt and as we speak nations such as Spain, Italy, Greece and Ireland are on the verge of total economic collapse. We have nothing to learn from the western democ- racies any longer, and if we copy their system then we will only end up suffering the same fate. We need to look to China and model our economies around theirs, because they have become the strongest economy in the world and it didn’t happen by chance. We need to look closely at what they did in order to attain such a lofty height and then reproduce it in every state across the federation. The governments (both state and federal) need to look at alternative ways of raising revenue instead of borrowing. We need to stop running to the World Bank and the IMF each time we need money because they’re slowly getting us into massive debts which our children and grandchildren will have to contend with. Debt is bondage, and borrower will always be the slave of the lender. I repeat, we need to look at China and study what they did. They stayed away from the two evils (World Bank and the IMF) and simply went into manufacturing and as a consequence they have become the market of the world. Everything we use is made in China. They manufactured their way to the top of the food chain and now the whole world is at their feet. They’re so rich that even America owes them over a Trillion $dollars. Isn’t it ironic that America (the country that prints and owns the $dollar) owes China $1 Trillion dollars? This is the reality of the modern world and America is becoming the economic laughing stock of the world.
