    The market is doing well on the backdrop of good Q1 report, expectation of better Q2 reports in some of the listed companies. Above all, subsidy removal will improve business for petroleum marketers. Market will continue to do well for as long as those that want to sell shares to access forex to take positions or exit the country are able to see buyers. Where there is buyer deficit, market will collapse. Olomide and Presco are in their.own world. Where is all these leading us to? Surely, it is increase in food prices. The likely increase in crude oil prices in the international market has its pros and cons but ultimately will impact in high food prices as pump price goes up. We are surely in for a tough time. Okay to sell shares and bonds to take positions in the forex market. I hope the tinubu administration will pump enough dollars into.the system.especially the $47billion Emiefiele is believed to have stashed away. It should not grow wings or be re-stolen
