The naira tumbled further significantly at the
parallel market on Thursday, hitting 391 against
the dollar as foreign exchange scarcity continues
to batter the economy of Africa’s largest oil
exporter.
The currency has entered a free-fall mode against
the dollar at the black market, having lost 26 per
cent of its value in less than two weeks.
The naira had exchange for one dollar at 372 on
the streets of Lagos, Abuja and other major cities
on Wednesday.
The local currency, which closed at 310 against
the greenback last Monday, has been falling
consistently and significantly in the past 11 days.
Forex dealers and financial experts linked the
persistent fall of the naira to panic buying of the
dollar and other major hard currencies by
importers, individuals and businessmen.
Bureaux De Change operators in Marina, Ikeja and
Apapa and Abuja told our correspondent on
Thursday that there were no signs yet that the
rising demand for forex especially. www.punchng.com/naira-slumps-391dollar/ 1 Like 2 Shares |

Not sure if the President is aware of this. Anyway, I am planning on landing in April. Perhaps it would have hit N750 projected rate. That would mean my $$ is going to be a lot of cash!!! Next time when you hear change, you will prompted, what type of change!!! 94 Likes 7 Shares |

This country is finished! Let me see the hypocritical twit that will invoke GEJ. GEJ left office with naira to dollar at 210 and today it's almost 400 naira. GEJ inherited naira to dollar from Yaradua at 165, it stayed at this rate +/-15 for 4 yrs, it was only towards the end of 2014 that we began to see fall in naira largely caused by those who are bent on sabotaging his achievements to make sure he doesn't get re-elected. Compare dollar to naira loss in value under GEJ from 165 to 210 within 4-5 yrs span...that's very reasonable. However under Buhari from 210-400 in barely 8 months? This is disastrous...an invitation to anarchy. Did you guys noticed that under Jonathan when naira depreciates, it appreciates back within few days. But under Buhar...it only depreciates. Don't forget that Obasanjo and Jonathan had strong, powerful economic team...this administration has zero. Very disorganized government! Emefiele resign honorably and let them run Nigeria like a private cattle ranch in Duara...everything to them is about tribalism. Keep blaming GEJ and oil price until dollar hits 1000 Naira by July by the rate Naira is falling. 190 Likes 13 Shares |

OKDnigeria: [b]....there are very many commentary on depreciation of ₦ nowadays expecially in parallel market, although parallel or black market can be manipulated by the traders, they either do it on their self interest, so those who doesn't beleive in the prosperity of nigeria can harbour $ as they can on imported goods hereby cause hike! But in my own point of view the depreciation of ₦ is a great success to this nation if well manage to nigeria situation today. the looted fund is in $ and it must be refunded back in $, so if $1 is ₦198 when the money is looted, then if the money is refund today at $1 to ₦350 the nation has gained ₦152! imagine if $1=₦1000, the gain is ₦902! So in conclusion if the government managed to refund the $trillion looted and the refunded money, change it in parallel market, this will reduce the pressure on ₦ and the scarcity of $ in parallel market so the ₦=$. (take note all the money took out of CBN during jonathan regime were changed in parallel market before ditributed) you have other opinion?[/b] 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Thank you lord. I always dream of buying a mansion in Nigeria before the age of 25. Imagine coming to Nigeria with only $10,000. that should be around 5 million. I hope it keeps going down. 41 Likes 3 Shares

“There is inflation in all spheres of the economy and Nigerias are indeed groaning. Business men and women can no longer import goods due to the fall in naira. It has reduced the purchasing power of citizens abroad. “Nigerians can no longer go on holidays abroad, the sick can no longer travel for treatments, and students who school cannot afford to pay their school fees. “Investors are not willing to come into the country because the fall in naira keeps reducing the value of their holdings.” its to early to complain.. Lets all enjoy the CHANGE WHILE IT LAST..... During the last election i advice my son who is 18 year old to vote for GEJ BUT HE RESISTED. Saying he want 'change'. Yesterday he was informing me that their busery(school fees) has incresed from 35k to 48k.. I should give hIM money TO GO AND PAY.... (i almost disown him.)for asking me money instead of his political father (PMB)whom has not paid me for the past 3months now. 117 Likes 11 Shares |

lolz@tumbles What about somersaulting. But I pray it backflips very soon to where it started tumbling from. And Nigerians have been taking advantage of Nigerians due to this Dollar crisis. Even the price of local goods that have no association with Dollar are being inflated. And salaries and wages are not inflated. Some Nigerians are much worse than the government.
