This can never be implemented, US Dollar is a universal currency, it not the most highly priced in the world but it is the strongest globally, Kuwait Dinar and British pound sterling are higher in value but the US Dollar is the go to currency of choice because it is accepted even at the most remote part of the earth and beyond... Because of this many countries of the world have dollar accounts with the US federal reserve!!! How many country have a Naira account with Central Bank of Nigeria? It is now clear that the Tinubu led government is now running Nigeria with tryer and error tactics... Nigerians we are in for a ride!!! |

I imagine you mean well. I’d like to add a few comments though. Your policies about the use of dollar will fall flat and even cause more problems. Have you tried to get a BTA/PTA recently? Then you should know how inefficient the process is. Or gone through all the hoops of Form M and Form A? Would you then say we should use only Nigerian phones ? Or only Nigerian made things? We don’t make a majority of what we consume. Short of turning our society to a police state, and even then, our outrageous corruption will prevent those policies you have mentioned about the dollarization of the economy to work. If you want to burn speculators, the government needs doings and actions. All the talk of hunting down saboteurs is hogwash as far as am concerned. I will continue to short the naira. emkz: 2 Likes |

nairalanda1: Sometimes ago the Afghanistan Afghani was the highest performing currency in the world. How did the do it? They made it a crime to transact business in any other currency than the Afghani. They also made it that foreigners must buy their goods with the Afghani so you have to change your dollars to trade in Afghanistan. They also banned the importation of many goods Even the Russian rouble was able to stay strong despite the hassles and pressures it faced from the West because the Russians made it that you must buy their rubble before you can buy their oil and gas and that foiled the wicked plans of the Europeans. Unless we apply these measures our Naira will continue to be useless. Politicians, greedy BDC operators, and banks are the ones artificially driving the naira nuts. Except they reign in on their activities the naira is doomed. 2 Likes |

[quote author=emkz post=128345766]This was my comment on this matter a few days back. The overt dollarization of the Nigerian economy is dangerous especially when we have no control over the currency. Impressive |

Ayomipoe: Bro, in the developed world, everything is policed, even to your phone conversation. We need to start it now. As to your question on use only Nigerian-made phones, of course not. But whoever wants to use luxury should be ready to pay heavily. In the US, the price is one thing, federal tax is another thing, state tax is another one, another thing that looks like council tax is also included. By the time you look the taxes well, you go first weak and think am well before you shell money to buy anything. The crux of my argument is that the government must not lose control of the forex market. It must be heavily regulated so that the pressure on the economy will reduce. It is quite strange that as Nigerians, we are fixated on exchange rate disparities. The basic needs of a man are food, shelter and clothing. Most of these are locally sourced which removes the dollar component. Tackle insecurity, address unemployment, get state governors to start working for their people and stop calling the president to come and run their states for them; flood the country with food and let our people be okay. The quest for dollars is more of the quest for luxury by the rich. When you see that importing a Range Rover Autobiography will cripple your finances, you'd rather opt for a Peugeot or Toyota that is locally assembled within the country if they are assembled. 4 Likes |

So owning dollar is now a crime ? Dollar is an international currency. Advanced countries in europes and Asia still used dollar along with their currencies. The Nigeria government will still need the dollar for oil trade and export. The issue is not the dollar, other currencies like pounds and euro beats our currency more than even the dollar. Tell your rubbish government to do better with the economy. They should stop spending billions buying a Toyota security highlander when they can use their home made Innoson motors…. emkz: |

Re: EFCC Raises Task Force Against Dollarization Of Economy by emkz: 7:48am On Feb 08 |
Nosa111: It is actually a crime. It is not a legal tender WITHIN Nigeria. You are not expected to use it to do any business transaction in Nigeria or charge anything and expect to be paid in dollars. The only places where you can use dollars are airports and hotels. Many hotels show their fees in dollars, euros, pounds and whatever, but you are compelled to pay in the local currency. In a country like South Africa, if you bring dollar to pay for anything outside the airport, no one would collect it from you. You must convert it to the local rand. In Germany, if you bring out the dollar to transact anything, be sure the police will be looking for you because they'd assume you are a drug dealer. 1 Like |

Tradepunter2: I don't know how much experience you have about these things. Two years ago, my wife applied for a visa to one of the EU countries and they insisted the visa fees be paid in euro cash at the embassy. We started looking for euros! Guess what? There was a local BDC down the road who sold euros for that purpose. Go to Danube Street in Maitama and you'd see the embassy there. It is always best to ask questions when you are confronted with new information instead of advertising your ignorance and spewing insults like a child. Read this website and learn to behave better in future. https://www.gov.pl/web/nigeria-en/consular-fees 3 Likes 1 Share |

nairalanda1: No is against "Trading" not even the govt can stop it, however of one our major problem is dollarization of our economy Govt should stop local banks from operating domiciliary account, saving in dollar as no good impact on the economy short or long run People will always act in there selfish interest but is the duty of the Govt to save the economic at all cost, dollar is having more value cos Nigerians are showing more faith in dollar, that is what "trading market" is all about. 1 Like |
