Mr man hold on to your dollars. It is at 220 right now. In the forex market, this is what is known as choppiness. Eventually, the rate will find a level to stabilize and you will be able to sell at a good rate. The fundamentals of the Naira have not changed. The wide variation on a day to day basis is speculation.

Stagger, thanks. All these guys think everybody is desperate to sell dollars. The minimum monthly income I make freelancing alone is more than a thousand dollars. Thank God easter is around the corner grin

No shakes. Our problem in this part of the world is we do not read. We don't look at other examples of currencies that have undergone crisis to know what happened. The Swiss National Bank swore to defend the minimum Euro to Swiss Franc exchange rate of 1.2000 which they fixed in September 2011 with all their resources. The fundamentals of the currency kept pushing against that peg until January last year when the SNB threw in the towel.

The only explanation for the gain in the Naira is that someone somewhere must have pumped billions of dollars into circulation. Don't forget that a certain Dr Aluko had on Channels TV, accused Ifeanyi Ubah of giving Gov Fayose 2 million dollars for electioneering, which Dr Ubah denied. The man has access to a foreign exchange cache. Many politicians have millions of dollars stored in their homes. You need to go to Transcorp Casino in Abuja to see how foreign currency changes hands in the gambling tables.

All that is needed is for these guys to come together to dump dollars in the market. Many of these guys got the dollars not by earning it but by stealing public funds. Dr Ubah by the international nature of his business has legal access to dollars. Dump all these dollars through a few BDCs and other means into the market and the supply will be so much that the value will drop.

However, has that changed the underlying fundamentals? It has not. School fees season will soon come. So will travel season for summer and all what not. You will see these same billionaires buying back the dollar at present rates and once they have succeeded in mopping it all up, the scarcity will return and a new speculative run on the Naira will start.

Once enough pressure has been exerted to the level where the CBN will keep depleting the foreign reserves, something will have to give. Nigeria is on the receiving end. Why is Buhari going to China to negotiate loans? This is because the World Bank and IMF will not give him a dime without devaluing the currency. It has always been the game plan to keep us subservient to these institutions and by continuously being an import-dependent nation filled with looters of the treasury, we will not come out of this mess.

The only way to shore up the value of the Naira is to shun these foreign goods and buy made-in-Nigeria products, and also to start producing for export. At best, it will take at least 4 years to start seeing the effects. These things do not occur overnight.

Everything you said here was brilliant except where you said shun foreign products and patronise made-in-nigeria.

Brilliant write up!

Sorry to say, the hard times have not started. If oil price does not improve drastically before the 3rd quarter of the year, expect more hardship. Either way we have to brace up for tougher economic policies. And even with the right things put in place in Nigeria it will still take some time for things to get better. So until we successfully diversify the economy this dollar and naira game will continue. Then each time the dust settles we will have a new black market steady rate.

Example, earlier speculations drive the dollar to 250, it then settled to 230...

Now it went as high as 375, and is now settling to 2xx, maybe we might see a final steady price of 250. Then after a while demand will spike again and so on and so forth. The CBN cannot defend the naira for ever.

That's my lay man's economics grin

Thank you stagger for this brilliant post. One of the fundamental questions, which many gullible Nigerians have forgotten to ask is this: Why did the naira strengthen against the dollar? Not suprising, some are attributing this to Buharia's trip to mecca (KAI). I told many guys doing importation business today that today (perhaps tomorrow) is one of their best opportunity to buy cheap dollars. But many of them have this unrealistic notion that the exchange rate of dollar against naira will soon be $1/150 naira. Before some dissidents will say that I am unpatriotic, let me state categorically that such rate is possible but not in 2016. Even when the price of crude oil per barrel was above $100, Nigerians did not enjoy such boon. Actually, I thought I was the only one that pondered about this food for thought: If truly we have excess dollars or excess funds, why did Buhari travel to China to solicit for funds? Stagger, the solution you have recommended is brilliant, but you and I know Nigerians are not ready for such sacrifice. I have had several opportunities to discuss with some local government chairmen, and experience have shown that this guys don't care about you and I. The only way they believe they can oppress us is to send their family, concumbines, and siblings abroad so that they can continue to oppress us. In short, Nigeria is a place where the best never happens and where the worst never happens, according to rudolph okonkwo.
