Why The CBN Has To Stop Street Dollar Trades by Nbkay23: 2:12pm On May 05
It’s no longer news how Dollar is skyrocketing in our Economy Nigeria Today, and the Devaluation of our Naira, well I’ll like to share my own 2percent on the situation.

Considering the fact that Nigeria only spends naira, But the availability of dollars to some, in the economy is Devastating. These are the Big business corps, BDC’s operators and Particularly the Government. The reason for our currency devaluation, here I’ll tell you now..I’m an economist and a part time forex trader, so believe it what I’m telling is true.

The Cbn exchange dollar thru the Bureau d change to the public, the way they do it, is By releasing Dollars to particular registered BDC traders as they claim, Dollars is released to this Individuals to sell to the General public daily, What these people do is, they sell at a particular rate and increase the rate so as to Have some dollars left in stock, By hoarding them, They come back to the bank next day and deposit naira, Saying Demand of Dollars is High, Next day collecting of dollars take place in the Bank again, the bank doesn’t have a choice than to increase the rate cos the rate of return is Low in Value, Definitely business has been done and profit has been made. The issue is Why can’t the CBN put a stop to Street Trading, Aboki’s calling people dollar, dollar on the streets and Devise a Means of Transaction using the Bank for Transparency while Dealing thru the Accounts of the BDC’s, this way you can avoid Laundering of money, illegal transactions and Consumption of embarassed Government funds, Most Politicians in Abuja prefer to use the Bureau d change cos it’s a seamless way of Transaction, No one can hold you, No amount is too much, Infact the bigger the amount the Better they friends with you. Street transaction of Dollars is still the same as Spending dollars in the economy. You won’t see other Countries allowing other currencies to be Transferable in the Streets, We have to put a stop to this Menace if we want to save this Country from Collapsing cry , Using Debts to hold the naira is not the way, Defunding the Banks of Dollar deposits is not the way, Defunding the crypto holders is not even the way, We have to let Transparency and Records take control of the Exchange system, Not in the streets, But banks. Slots can be made Available for Preferable BDC’s Vendors, And Stop Doing Business with the Economy undecided

You have a point.. the only problem is that even the Banks are crooked.. they get Dollar allocations too like the BDCs but they hoard instead of transacting with them..

The EFCC is trying to clean up the system of street-trading and we can only implore them to sustain the monentum.. it's going to be hard tho. They deserve some commendation for the little they have done esp in Zone4 Abuja.. that place used to be a free-for-all but there is some level of moderation now..

An analogy is almost like those that trade fuel on the road. It is those who need them and patronise them that are encouraging the trade. If nobody is buying, you won't see them on street.. but then you have to move your car from A to B and the fueling stations have endless queues or no fuel sometimes..

The wayout is to boost your foreign reserve via exports and productivity, and discourage the need for Dollars as much as possible.. Productivity is a double edged sword.. because it makes Items people would pay dollars to import available locally and earns you foreign exchange when you export excess to outside country...

the government only pay lip services to banning transactions in dollars in the country. People still pay their wards school fees in dollars.. The political class are still converting their loots into dollars on a daily basis.. the EFCC and NFIU needs to device a means to nip money laundering at source.. but again the Banks have not been helping..!

Nigeria is wild..

it still has to be the bank to do the job, they can Use BDC’s slots to make that available, for instant, The banks don’t have the right to hoard cash, it’s like the banks are managing the accounts for BDC’s, so if the BDC’s says there’s available cash, the bank don’t have no option but to sell, Don’t get it wrong, the BDC’s are still incharge but it will be run by the banks, There will still be daily disbursement of cash to Each BDC’s slot inside the same Bank, Just that There has to be a balance sheet like the Accountants does, so we don’t be deceiving ourselves, I think that is still better than the street vendors right now.

Updated!! BDC’s should be removed completely from the Streets, No more streets trade of Dollar! Let transactions be made in The bank from different BDC’s slot, we need Accountability and Transparency, Simple, Naira will be stable

The CBN do not have to and indeed do not have the capacity to stop street Dollar sales

What the government needs to do is put the right policies in place and that is not the case at the moment.

There should be harmony between the Fiscal Policy and the Monetary Policy. It should be possible to source FX through the financial system for any transaction that is legally possible in Nigeria. This will significantly reduce the demand for USD on the street


It is a policy thing, you can’t go from street to street pursuing people who are selling Dollars

I have been saying this for years..

But that's how the banks make most of their money, " round tripping"

Also those BDC operators have people in "high" places and corrupt politicians use them to "wash" their loot.

I mentioned before in my previous posts thay CBN injecting dollars in the market is not the solution, it gives naira a temporary reprieve but exacerbate the situation further in the long run and some people started calling me names..etc.

I want Naira to strong, the Nigerian economy to be stronger but we must be willing to hold the bull by the horn and make some tough choices and decisions devoid of tribes and our political association.

It's one of those things in Nigeria, we know the problem and the solution is relatively easy but nahhh we turn blind eyes and start a tribal war or political party war instead of turning all our energy to the issues at hand.

They blame Emefiele or whatsoever, they blame Binance, they blame Buhari, they blame Aboki BDC, they blame DSTV, they blame GOTV, NTA, MTN, NNPC even the air we breathe in, they’re going to blame it very soon saying we breathe in too much air that’s why dollar keep rising. They won’t blame themselves for incompetence. Put a capable hand there and you will see free fall of dollar but no, we prefer corrupt people who will continue to embezzle us and the zone B will continue clapping for them because of Tribe and Religion.

When we are ready to make things right in this country, we will rise up.

As recently as 2012, I could spend up to $40,000 in a year on my Naira card.

That covered most of my personal and some business fx needs

I can count how many times I purchased dollars then,

It was only to do transactions that needed wire transfers.

Now for even a $10 transaction I need to go and buy cash dollar and the banks are not giving that.

It's clear where most of the demand is from.


Let banks revert to what it was, it would even be easier for CBN to monitor FX usage that way

The blame trading is not going to fix anything. I remember changing dollars sent from abroad for about 80 naira with the same street traders during the military regime. Why is it all of a sudden in 2024 they've become the problem?

So you really believe that ragtag BDC operators getting rationed daily $10k from CBN are responsible for weakening naira? Are they responsible for weakening Japanese yen and Turkish lira--both at multi-decades all time low too?

Nigerian FG has blamed everyone but themselves. They know the solution and it ain't got nothing to do with Binance, Abokifx or BDC owners.

It starts with Demand and Supply. Why the high demand for foreign currency in Nigeria? This should be the first basic question.

Due to dollar liquidity in the past, a lot of dubious activities occured that they have now become our culture. For example, subsidizing the sale of dollars. Who benefitted?

One question we must ask ourselves: all the dollars that were pumped into the system since this administration, who bought them and what were they bought for?

Historically, the appetite for the dollar by the rich and aspiring has been financed by the Nigerian state. It seems it can no longer be stopped.

For example, dollar rates spike when allocations are paid to governors. Why?

We see politicians using the dollars as if it is a status symbol.

Also, people are allowed to operate domiciliary accounts which many now use as a store of wealth.

My position is that CBN needs to stop the practice of selling dollars to Nigerians in Nigeria. Anyone who needs dollars must want it for transactions abroad and must show boarding pass at the airport before getting any forex. The practice of getting dollars from CBN and selling at a high markup in the black market has made a lot of overnight millionaires. This practice puts pressure on our forex.

If you are a manufacturer, you don't need physical dollars. The banks can provide letters of credit for international transactions.

CBN, pending when the system is able to carry out measures to boost fx liquidity and even after then, STOP selling dollars to Nigerians as a commodity within Nigeria, including governors and their fellow politicians. It doesn't make sense to me.
