I'm headed to the park now.

Have you heard of Lokoja?

That's my final destination, bro.

swiz123:


What about manufactured food? Bread, noodles, Spaghetti, milk, Chocolate, etc?

Go to Ebonyi now and compare prices of meat and Fish. Ebonyi can only sell local rice, red oil and garri cheaper than Lagos, because they are farmers.

When you take this comparison to Anambra, Imo, Abia, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, you might be shocked.

Mention a commodity you think is cheaper in the East and South except Ebonyi.

larride:


I'm only talking about the places I've been to and the truth is that even while I was in other states, bread, milk and the likes were the same price I was buying it in Lagos.

swiz123:


Please, Lagos is the most expensive mostly because of the large number of people present in a very small area of land. Like you correctly pointed, high depend equals high prices.

Aside rent and transportation which is greatly affected by population, most other things are cheaper in Lagos. I am certain that food is cheaper in Lagos compared to most states. Example, Bread (measured per 100g) , Noodles, Beef, milk etc.

Other things too like house hold appliances, building materials, clothes, fabric etc are cheaper in Lagos.

swiz123:


If Lokoja had equal economic viability as Lagos, I am 💯 certain you will be typing from there.

swiz123:


Then think about proximity. Proximity of mainland to the Island will set it apart from the rest. Just like Ogun State and other Western states.

Fact still remains that being FCT helped a lot.

izzou:


So many "Ifs" bro.

You said aside insecurity, Lokoja, Gusau and Yenogoa is better than Lagos.

Is that not what you settled for?

Which one come be the "If" again?

swiz123:


My point all along has been economic viability. Check the first mention I gave you.

Very good .

Exactly where I wanted you. So what was your evidence all along?

We've seen evidence of opposing swings. So which was it?

Not that I like I told you so, you know but I just wanted to for the heck of it

We're reverting back to the mean. The familiar Don Meffy seesaw.
Where when the rate rises too high too quickly, the CBN steps in.
Drags it back down by a few hundred naira.
Takes its foot off the gas.
The rate rises again. Rinse and repeat.

I can't wait for all these people swallowing Govt propaganda how Russia loves them to move to Russia. I've been in Turkey for the last week. I mistakenly booked a hotel where 90% of the clientele are Russian. It's one thing to swallow propaganda, it's another to live with these people. People wey no dey even smile, when black man walk past, they will move away, you ask them questions, they will just stare at you and start nudging each other.

One guy from Kazan came to take picture with us, and couldn't wait to tell us how he is one of the good guys and there is no difference between us (black) and them, that we are all human. I come dey reason why he feels the need to tell us that that unless their society is completely unused to black people. One German-Turkish guy dey commiserate with us and wish us good luck tell us say we make mistake to book this hotel. Nothing concern me sha, I dey do my thing dey go and spend most of my time in the gym. To be fair, one or two friendly ones dey but few and far between. One of them I met in the gym does sets with me and spot for each other etc

As my niggas go sleep, I say make I go bar go continue sipping my whiskey. Na him 4 Russian guys come approach me say dem want hang out, come dey discuss how dem fit circumvent sanctions. Na 2 hours we dey dey discuss matter with Google translate. I tell them say I be civilian and just exchange telegram with them, make them free me. Whiskey done make dem looseguard sotay dem say make we take selfie, but I gast protect their identity before Okpa report them to KGB. For this life, everybody just wan chill and make progress peacefully, no be to dey carry politicians and dictators matter for head.

Its.rm made a factual statement.
The Reserves of the People's Republic of China can be surging while the PBOC is actively intervening.
A reserve balance increase does not in itself preclude ongoing debit activity.

The "evidence all along" were very visible.
First, the rate of decline was unprecedented and nothing could account for the bulk of it besides intervention.
Secondly, there was actual data showing the CBN intervened while publicly disavowing such action.

You were nowhere to be found when data finally emerged and we learned about the actual debt service payments made in March 2024.
We spent $276m on debt servicing. Meanwhile, the reserves declined by $1B in only two weeks in March.

You claimed that the reserves declined because of debt service payments.
No one called you out to explain the discrepancy or make a show of being right.

What you're making a fuss about has been hatched out already on the thread.
Last month I shared this snippet:



By sticking to this script, the rate has stayed stable over the past month, the spread between the official and parallel rates is miniscule, and the CBN has avoided expending billions per month trying to force through a bonkers sub-1000 rate.
The CBN has also been able to increase the reserves like it did at the start of the year before the Apex Bank engaged in its ill-advised adventure.

On a related not, they do need to stack up the reserves because of the impending pressures I've mentioned in earlier comments.
Over the last few days, rates have resumed their ascent. It just crossed 1500 yesterday on the official market after staying below the mark for about a month. Summer just arrived.
The expected minimum wage increase is almost here as well.

1400-1500 has been the fair rate for months. Myself, Itsrm, and many economists have said as much.
It took a while, but it appears Cardi B finally got the memo.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-25/-ngn-usd-nigeria-central-bank-head-says-worst-of-naira-volatility-is-over
He could have not wasted billions to find out, but that's past tense now.

When the rate rises too quickly, there will be an intervention.
When it stabilizes, the CBN will ease off.
The reserve uptick and projected inflows (https://money.usnews.com/investing/news/articles/2024-06-13/world-bank-approves-nigerias-2-25-billion-loan-request as well as the proposed bond later in the year) are arrows in the CBN's quiver. If that'll be enough is a question that'll be answered in the coming months.
