FreeStuffsNG: How about not blaming the apps and advising the FG to make diaspora remittances easier for Nigerians? It's only in Nigeria that you need 'domicialiary' account to receive money from abroad. Other parts of the world allow just a regular savings account to receive money. And why do banks hardly sell forex and totally left it to BDC operators? Nigerians cannot even use their cards for online transactions anymore, it's those same apps that allow people pay for things online... Our banking system is what needs reform. Emefiele and his cahoots have reduced Nigerian banking system to rubbish. 3 Likes |

LegendHero: I dont think it's been the norm. When the likes of western money and money gram dominated the market, they did the notmal thing. ..but times have changed, difference between the official rate and black market rates have grown, no one wants to be offered official rate when black market rates are better. Also fintech apps are now instant transfer, most of the other ones still long stories. Last bring your money into a dorm account in Nigeria is very frustrating. Many cbn paperwork to move it n cbn policy changes often. Banks are charge huge transaction fees , fG charges taxes. Why would anyone want to use such 2 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG: Not everybody cares or has virgin island accounts, they are talking of the average joe that wants to send $1,000 out of his salary to his family in Nigeria, they get in touch with other Nigerians over there in the US who acts as a currency trader. You send the $$ into their $$ account there in the US and then they use their naija account to credit your naija local account at the black market rate. Until the thief emiefele came along it wasn't attractive to look for those individual currency traders because you could just send your money down through WU and your family goes to the bank in naija to collect it in $$ or naira at a rate close to black market. Upon useless policies emiefele was still stealing the $$ and he's still walking around asking for bail, what a country of clowns 1 Like |

FreeStuffsNG: You guys are not reasonable. There were incentives on ground before your m-m ticket holders came in and hastily removed them out of their ingrained stupidity. Before now, banks were paying our relatives #5 for every dollar they were withdrawing from Nigeria, and people were happy to send dollars directly to Nigeria. Nigeria is now facing the consequences of that reckless decision by your clueless m-m leaders to remove those incentives and policies Emefiele put on ground, while you're here blaming the innocent Apps as is typical of you and your folks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

mrrandomguy: There is a difference between 90% of the dollar did not get to Nigeria and that 90% of remittance didn't get to Nigeria. Please do you guys think you are talking to kids? One thing I give APC government is that they know how to run effective propaganda. That the dollar did not get to Nigeria does not mean that 20 billion dollars was not remitted. It is up to the government to find a means to get their hands on it. |

FreeStuffsNG: There is a difference between 90% of the dollars remitted are not remitted as dollars and 90% of the dollars are not remitted. One thing I give to this government is how effective their propaganda machinery is. Whose fault is it that the dollar exchange happens right of offshore? I still don't the significance of cashing the dollars first in Nigeria before changing it to naira, if the huge disparity between CBN and black martket rates exist, and if demand for dollars is still driven by our mostly import based economy? 1 Like |

Jamie248: Let’s assume this is a brilliant idea, here are some pertinent questions for you to consider: 1) How should CBN source the outflow naira since they can’t simply use QE as soln 2) CBN can’t simply source Naira from the banks (Monetary Deposits) they regulate as that will simply turn them into a direct competitor |

These talks no follow abeg... The Fin tech companies had CAC registration, there's NDIC certification, SCUML, ICPC, CBN and other bodies that are involved when it comes to opening a company's business accounts not to talk about a FINTECH company operating in Nigeria. All financial transactions are monitored. There are auditors too, the FINTECH companies are well known, so, what stops the CBN writing policies to track them down. Are these financial money related bodies telling us that they don't know how the money gets to the fintech companies and how they can make them accountable at the equivalent rate? 1 Like |

Cmeo: The biggest pressure on the naira is corruption that doesn't allow businesses to thrive. How about ease of doing business? Power? Insecurity? Dollar earnings? All these ones about CBN not being able to regulate is not the basic issue. They are trying to avoid the major issue...all these ones stem from that one issue CORRUPTION. If CBN does all the regulation, if CORRUPTION still thrives, everything is a Pure waste of time! |

grandstar:The problem with the above is that right now the government simply doesn't have the necessary reserves to defend a pegged rate. The only way out of this mess is to combine the interest-rate increases you've already mentioned with the announcement of a large-scale privatization program, as part of a larger program to rein in the size of the public sector. Even though any privatization program will still take a few years to complete, just the readiness to make concrete proposals would firm up foreign investor confidence, which would reverse the downward pressure on the Naira. The other side to this story is the need to rein in public-sector demands for ever larger wage increases to cope with inflation, as this is already giving rise to a classic wage-price spiral. One advantage to the announcement of an ambitious privatization program (apart from the prospect of both bringing in badly needed forex while simultaneously reducing the government's expenses) is that it will put public-sector workers on notice that their positions are no longer secure enough for them to try holding the rest of the country to ransom through strike action. The NLC leadership may continue to foam at the mouth, but the likelihood of anything coming of their threats will be radically diminished. I know Tinubu was badly shaken by the backlash when he announced the abolition of the petrol subsidy (which he never fully followed through on), but the fiscal situation left behind by Buhari was atrocious, and the changeover coincided with a sharp rise in global interest rates to make the already existing debt burden crushing, meaning no one is about to grant Nigeria fresh new loans unless Tinubu is willing to go to the lender of last resort, i.e. the IMF. Not only would doing so kill Tinubu's hopes of getting re-elected (given how negatively Nigerians view the IMF), but the reform program the IMF will demand would be far more radical. Tinubu needs to get over his fear of public opinion and put forward a program that will draw in FDI on a large scale, before events force far harsher medicine on him. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
