Saw this post on a facebook page and i thought i could share it.

Don't know if this is the correct forum to share it.

I wanted to do an online transaction with
an online fashion brand abroad. Of course, I
always make sure I check the exchange rate
before I place an order, to know how much
I would be spending in naira.
As usual, after calculating the exchange rate,
what I wanted to get was on the high side. I
just became humble and cancelled the
transaction.
I started thinking if the disparity between
dollar and naira is so insane, what will be
the exchange rate of the naira to the
currencies of other African countries. I
picked 25 random African countries and
compared their currencies with the naira.
Before I started my findings, I felt only a few
African countries could have stronger
currencies than the naira but boy I was
shocked and ashamed with what I came up
with.
Check out the latest exchange rate of the
Nigerian naira compared to some random
African countries' currencies.
1. South Africa - 1 Rand = 26.28 Naira

2. Ethiopia - 1 Birr = 13.30 Naira

3. Ghana - 1 Cedi = 81.96 Naira

4. Gambia - 1 Dalasi = 7.60 Naira

5. Kenya - 1 Shilling = 3.48 Naira

6. Liberia - 1 Dollar = 3.05 Naira

7. Swaziland - 1 Lilangeni = 26.55 Naira

8. Tunisia - 1 Dinar = 145.90 Naira

9. Zambia - 1 kwacha = 36.7 Naira

10. Angola - 1 kwanza = 2.17 Naira

11. Lesotho - 1 Loti = 26.55 Naira

12. Libya - 1 Dinar = 262.77 Naira

13. Morrocco - 1 Dirham = 38.32 Naira

14. Madagascar - 1 Ariary = 0.12 Naira

15. Mauritius - 1 Rupee = 10.5 Naira

16. Malawi - 1 kwacha = 0.50 Naira

17. Mozambique - 1 Metical = 5.8 Naira

18. Namibia - 1 Dollar = 26.55 Naira

19. Seychelles - 1 Rupee = 26.38 Naira

20. Sudan - 1 pound = 53.89 Naira

21. Botswana - 1 Pula = 34.60 Naira

22. Cape Verde - 1 Escudo = 3.82 Naira

23. Algeria - 1 Dinar = 3.18 Naira

24. Egypt - 1 Pound = 20.45 Naira

25. Eritrea - 1 Nakata = 23.52 Naira


The currencies of some worse economies in
Africa have better value than the naira.
So the question is - Do you think Nigeria's
naira is the weakest currency in Africa and
the world at large and what is the way
forward to strengthen the naira.

Damn Naira is useless!!!
