Naira was devalued. Not floated. They thought it would return back to 800ish after they gambled. It has never worked. Thats why they are confused onnuts reversal. They are bleeped. DaddyCoool: 1 Like |

ajadematanle: My dear friend, we are matured here...no need to be insultive. Do you REALLY understand what happened btw May 29,2023 & now? Tinubu said subsidy is gone. And that the money being aid for subsidy would henceforth be diverted into the economy. Then, diesel, kerosene, gas & petrol prices went up drastically, and ppls' savings and income went down drastically. Now, let's assume Nigeria was paying ₦100bill as subsidy in 2020-2023, by now, the subsidy money would / should have been put inside QUICK REPAIR of refineries, so that world market price of fuel doesn't affect our own local consumption. Example: Eggs in Nigeria is ₦200/ piece. But in America, eggs now may be close to $1/ pc ( that's a bit exaggeration, but ppl are complaining that egg prices is going up now). Now, that price in America is close to ₦1500/ egg. But despite inflation , we don't have ₦1000/ egg...YET. Because we have local production. BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE LOCAL PRODUCTION NKỌ́,...gbam! We now must import the egg from America ( let's assume America stands for world market) and pay ₦2500/ egg , if we want to eat egg. PROBLEM - you have to use diesel & petrol & gas in this economy - we now have to import all the fuel from abroad, when we have the basic mineral resource, which is crude oil - the crude oil has been sold without our knowledge by NNPC plc during Buhari's tenure - Nigeria thus have to pay AMERICAN PRICE ( not necessarily America price but world market price) for fuel - we have very low foreign exchange in Nigeria, compared to , say Namibia & Ghana, so it means less money flows into our economy but more of the less money is flowing out - why is more (of the less money) flowing out ? Importation of fuel + IMF/ world bank loan - the money is from the masses, so it means the masses pay more money to IMF & international fuel traders - so, the masses become poorer, because we have to pay more And there's no end in sight . Let me tell you another story. From 2015- 2024 today, in order to even pay basic salary, we have to borrow loans. Don't forget, there is something about loans: the borrowing period...then the period when the lender asks for his money. We have even borrowed money that the next 3 generation would have to pay for! And we are not even repaying the loans o! We are paying interests only. So, as example, we borrow from china to pay IMF interests ( not original principal loan amount ), then borrow from Portugal to pay Chinese interests ( not the original principal o), then finally borrow from Taiwan & use our UNTAPPED CRUDE FOR THE NEXT ( give or take) 3-4 yrs as collateral for a "mere" $3.3billion loan . This simply means that the " unknown lender" will take our crudeoil for 3 years, at say $70/ barrel, but if inside the 3 yes, the oil price increase lasan to $200/ barrel...( You know that we can quickly get more dollars fast since the price has increased), we can't renegotiate oh! The price calculation must stay at $70/ barrel, so the lender just smiles to the bank, while we weep and wail, because it is now season of plenty, but we can't enjoy the plenty, because the plenty is going to another person. ALSO, DON'T FORGET... WE STILL HAVE TO PAY interests to: IMF/ china/ Portugal and Taiwan o! *** China, Portugal, Taiwan are hypothetical examples **" Those loan payments are still going steadily and they are even shrouded in secrecy by NNPC & CBN. Who's paying them? Nigeria masses. Oh...the politicians are stealing btw 10-40% of the loans ( if we can believe Minister Chinasa ; the women affairs minister; check Sahara reporters news of yesterday 22/07/2024). We are in deep mess.

Blazetrailer: Since we both lived through it let me define the terms and you tell me which Nigeria did: DEVALUE: the exchange rate is fixed. Central bank lowers a currency's value, giving it a FIXED value relative to a specific standard, such as a stronger currency (say, US $) FLOAT: the govt allows a currency's value to fluctuate freely in financial markets based on supply and demand. Which do you think we did? |

Tayorshd87: You don't have shame. When the subsidy was not removed how much was fuel? And what were the prices of commodities and transportation like before?

LOL!! Very easy to spot those who listen to government nonsense without necessarily doing their research and then coming online to exhibit their lack of congruence To start with, all academic and contemporary research works have shown that it us suicidal for developing countries or economies to float their currencies, especially, when they are going through economy challenges like high inflation, recession, low productivity, etc. You can read that on your own if you are up to it Back to your points below. According to CFI and other international literature on foreing exchange policies, a fully floated currency is the one where: 1. There is free entry of currency and free exit if currency with very minimal regulations 2. The Reserve bank( in our case the Central bank) does not participate in the market, it only acts as a regulator . 3. Prices are determined by markets forces only and no restriction on the participants in the market Going by the above, please see the contradiction in your own government's floating 1. Tell me if there is free entry or exit of curre cy in Nigeria. Attempt to move your money from a domiciliary account in Nigeria and come and hear all the restrictions on the amount, limits of transfer and all the documents you will need to complete before you can move your funds 2. CBN sells to Black market at a particular fixed rate and those are expected to sell at a fixed rate......in a fully floated market ![]() 3. The CBN banned certain participants(crypto and other electronic participants) but called it floating where all participants can partake ![]() Anyways, the world bank and IMF had called it out as "systemic devaluation" and nothing more than that. Something should have given you a hint when in January 2024, CBN and the FMDQ came out and said there was a system glitch in the way they were calculating the exchange rate and hence the naira was overvalued in the exchange rates used from June 2023, so it was further devalued then. Think bro, think deeper...they are using your heads DaddyCoool: |

Until there is a national protest and the so-called cabal are dragged to the mud, beaten to a pulp or worse, nothing will change in Nigeria. Imagine these people are doing everything possible to kill Dangote refinery because they fear he will sell petrol at cheaper prices. Surely the devil only exist in the heart of men |

Blazetrailer: See all this long epistle to camouflage something so obvious. Who is talking about "fully floated"?Simple: what action did the Nigerian government take that drove down the value of the Naira? They substantially stopped defending the Naira. THAT'S IT!! They, to a great extent, let market forces determine the value of the Naira (that's called foating NOT devaluation). And since the Naira was overvalued, it came crashing down! |

LOL Gosh!!..its obvious you are shallow in reasoning You still haven't got. Let me type it in caps, maybe it will sink in deeper. NAIRA WAS DEVALUED DELIBERATELY BY THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT TO ATRRACT FOREIGN INVESTORS UNDER THE GUISE OF FLOATING!! World Bank and IMF called it out in March 2924(that's if you read independent and objective news sources though) that the Niherian government DEVALUED their currency deliberately. All it her nonsense about floating is gibberish. I'm done with a dumbo like you though. Same set of people never believed the Nigerian government was still paying fuel subsidy, something that was called out by IMF as far back s November 2023....just a few months after ut was claimed " subsidy is gone" DaddyCoool: |
