Hi
iichidodo:
I don't see the need of a hullabaloo on the size of our foreign reserve, especially if it's used in something as crucial as improving the intrinsic value of the currency used and transacted by millions of Nigerians. If 2Billion$ helps to push naira from 1900 to 1100, then say another 4Billion$ can help us get to at least 200 naira. Now if 1$ equals to 200# in 2024, you wouldn't fail to realize that cash and savings of millions Nigerians just got far more valuable . What's the need of a foreign reserve, if it cannot help to execute crucial macroeconomic function we just highlighted before....And las las, we have crude oil sales to replenish the reserve...
Then why float the naira and raise it to 1900, things become very expensive, then they started defending the naira again secretly

Your not getting it.

The question is, who sent them to float the Naira in the first place throwing Nigerians into misery?

Now, it backfired, causing hyperinflation ... and they are going back into doing the very things Emefiele was doing.

So basically, it's not your intention but you're doing it anyway. Then why float the naira? Why put us through all this suffering only to go back and be doing the same thing after things have become worst?

Is it that these guys don't think before making decisions? They removed subsidy and floated naira at the same time. Dollars shot upwards immediately and by the time they realised they had made a mistake and decided to go back to paying subsidy and supporting the Naira just as Buhari was doing, the dollar equivalent of the 400Billion Buhari was paying for fuel subsidy monthly has become over 900 Billion.

Now they're paying 600 Billion as subsidy. To get us back to the 200/lt we were paying before, they will have to pay the full 900 Billion plus. So tell me, why didn't these guys just continue with Buhari's style? They wanted to be different. Now see where it has landed us? Unprecedented suffering while subsidy is STILL being paid. Why then did we suffer? Why then did we have to go through all this hardship?

What's worse is that most Nigerians don't know the all what I've just said because the APC are masters of propaganda. They know that our achilles heel, our weakness, is tribalism. So they make you more worried about Peter Obi being a pretender, or Bobrisky going to jail for 6 months, and other frivolities, just to distract Nigerians from what is most important. Most people don't even know that they're SUFFERING FOR NOTHING! SUFFERING FOR ONE MANS FOOLISHNESS!!

Bola Tinubu, the least you can do is atleast own up to your mistakes and apologise to Nigerians. You owe us that much. A LOT of people have lost their jobs, companies have folded, people have committed suicide, marriages have ended, futures have been derailed and dreams shattered, all because you made a life altering decision out of the sheer euphoria of being sworn in as commander in chief. Baba, do the honourable thing and apologise to Nigerians. At least we can start the healing process from there.


With the way you wrote this plenty grammar, one would have thought that to listen to very simple English spoken by Cardoso will not be a challenge to you.....well maybe you didn't watch the video 🤣😂

By the time the reserves is depleted and there is no more to defend naira, the consequences on the naira value will be very severe.




We pray it never gets there bc if it does naira will crash yakata


There is no need for all the defence if you have an export driven economy which many has been saying.
Instead concentrating on improving manufacturing and export we are using the hard earned reserve to defend naira.

Therefore doing you have not created any value in your economy,no job , no industry no notin but you are just spending money to defend money

Re: It's Not Our Intention To Defend The Naira - Cardoso Speaks On Foreign Reserves by stepaside1: 4:05am On Apr 18
Cardoso was clear. $10k to about 1500 BDCs that has been done twice or thrice comes to about $50million or thereabouts. That is a very small amount in the context of what is alleged to be 'Naira defence'.

When the Naira was floated, lack of liquidity was the main reason why Naira depreciated. With a rash of CBN policies that returned confidence to the market, liquidity started to improve dramatically and on a willing buyer willing seller principle, the Naira started finding its true level which is what the 'price discovery' term means.

What i like most about the forex market today is the collapse of the huge arbitrage between the black market and CBN rates which in the past fueled a lot of the shenanigans that ruined the Naira. As Cardoso said, most of the reduction in reserves in present times was due to paying our obligations such as settling forward transactions, paying maturing foreign debt obligations etc. We must do that as it will be disastrous to default in paying our debts as countries like Ghana, Ethiopia and Egypt amongst others have done with grave consequences that attracted the dreaded IMF interventions.

In the coming weeks and months, i expect the foreign reserves to keep rising. Already as Cardoso said, $600mln has accrued into it in the past few days. Let us see where we are in the coming weeks and months. We are surely on the right path in my own opinion.

It won't fall like the so called speculators made it fall like the walls of Jericho. The naira is currently undervalued and needs to discover its real value. The CBN is doing a good job with the catalyst method. Genius.

This is the Summary:

If naira is going to be N1,500, then let it be like that for at least 6 months. Do not let it be N1,500 today, N1,200 tomorrow, and so on. You can’t plan, and that’s why even as we speak today, we see that the naira is appreciating, it’s appreciating too fast. When you sit down and look at the analysis, people are concerned saying, "should I reduce my costing rate, to what the market is? But I’m scared, that if I reduce my costing rate, what is my replacement cost? Will it go back up?" That’s the reason why prices of things have not come down. Yes, the naira is appreciating, but people are not in a place of comfort to say, "Yes, it is sustainable". The only answer to that is Time. We have to wait it out for a few weeks or months. Is this sustainable over a long period? if it is, then you’ll see prices of goods and commodities coming down.
