When the Fulani man was in control, the dollar was running away in a hyperinflation. People losing jobs, traders getting frustrated importing goods and access to forex a herculean tax. The only people smiling were the Futa Jallon boys in the corridors of power who benefit at the expense of the people. In just a couple of days a Southerner takes over, dollar starts to fall, there is more access to FOREX and structures are very much in place to ease transactions at the ports. Leading a country is much more complex that guiding cows through cities with a stick and making milk from tiger nuts |

Op, keep consoling yourself. Better cut your losses and move on. Sorry for busting your bubble, the Naira will appreciate further before it stabilizes at around N400/$1 (in the parallel market). I'm sure you're saddened the more . Kpele. I don't even have any pity for you. Afterall, you're only one of those people SLS was referring to, who were making billions from round-tripping, without leaving their homes...to the detriment of poor Nigerians and the ailing Nigerian economy. By the way, where did you get your official rate of N405/$1 from? The official dollar exchange rate is nowhere near that amount you plucked from the air, sir! But this may be you consoling yourself again. 2 Likes |

Advising people to buy and hoard dollars so that they can sell to gain immensely is not different from what our legislooters are doing. I don't blame the OP though, afterall instead of making forex available for manufacturers and Business people, FG/CBN/Bank officials could only reason subsiding the dollars for school fees abroad at this particular period of the year when such activities are minimal. 3 Likes |

Hoarding dollars? kinda a selfish assertion. We should put in place mechanisms that will turn our economy back to its former glory.

The OP of this thread has very evil intentions. Oil production is going to peak at about 2.2million barrels per day very soon. The price of oil is almost USD 60 per barrel. We have enough dollars to liquefy the entire country for months. I'm wondering why the OP will go and look for bad news in the form of the GDP figures, and twist it, to try to encourage currency speculation? The GDP figures were even very encouraging because the rate of decline in growth has all but reduced. We should start seeing positive growth from Q2. The MODS should please close this thread down because it was created with the sole intent of causing panic with false information and encouraging panic dollar buying and currency speculation. The OP of this thread has devilish intentions. Currency speculation should be added to the nairaland rule list. There is just no factual basis for any of the things the OP has written here. 6 Likes 1 Share |

deflover: You have analysed correctly (without giving solutions) However, you're now exacerbating the whole issue by spreading panic buying and spelling doomsday before its arrived. Some Solution may be ; If the government can back it up by supporting or seeking trade deals for local exports (which is not done yet) then it's likely it could gradually replace to some extent our foreign exchange needs. At the same time, supporting or incentives to local business who can process raw materials for industries would be helpful. Not supporting or having the essential infrastructures affects industries for raw materials who simply can not operate or run to meet demand. The others that depends on these raw materials are then the ones who have to seek alternatives by importing raw materials from abroad keeping pressure on the naira. |

Re: Has Osinbajo Tamed The Dollar? by mandarin: 10:50am On Mar 02, 2017 |
The op raised pertinent question until he made the erroneous advice of hoarding the dollar. I hope you understand that the black market value of the dollar is due largely to speculations and so, based on the actual market demands, the value may be below 400naira. There are certain economic indices that do not work in Nigeria due to lack of transparency and endemic corruptions, like the price of petrol was anticipated to fall but just as oil price rose, behold so was the exchange rate to eliminate the gains in the market. some cleansing need to be done in Nigeria because some hawks are too powerful. Government can focus on PMI through systematic forex and investments tones, the truth is, many have abandoned their factories to become forex traders where they hammer quick. Another thing is intensification of SMEs and sourcing local raw materials etc If well managed, government should do a media war on speculators and keep critical interventions in place, the dollar shouldn't be more than 120% of the official rate at the parallel market. 2 Likes 1 Share |

tamonokare: A gift card is a pre-loaded card which a person can spend at a specific store/retailer. For example if your friend's birthday is approaching and you don't know what to give them but you know they shop a lot at a particular place (let's say amazon), you can simply buy an amazon gift card, load it with the amount you can afford and then give your friend the gift card. It is then up to them what they use it to buy. As for these people on nairaland always asking if gift cards are available, I don't know what they use it for. |

Re: Has Osinbajo Tamed The Dollar? by xwolverine: 10:59am On Mar 02, 2017 |
deflover: @OP, for the sake of the discussion on the points raised, it seems you lack the locus standi to speculate on what happens next with the Naira's value in the nearest future. I came to this conclusion based on your cited sources. The fact that JP Morgan made a comment about the FDI being on the decline is not fact without you stating the period under review, for which the prediction was made. The Trump's administration and its knee jerk reaction, the UK Brexit are some of the reasons that investors are still hesitant to part with funds without knowing what happens next. If you read the CBN's press release you would have seen that the manufacturing sector is being catered for as well, the policy about the school payments is to address the stress on the Naira from the larger percentage of people that would normally source forex through the black markets. Citing Arise TV as your source of information about the shrinking economy give you away as a neophyte in the forex world. Current indices point at a recovering economy from the Nigerian point of view. The dollar bonds was recently over subscribed, production of crude oil is being ramped up to go beyond the current 2.1million bpd, on the heels of the price of the crude going up beyond the budget benchmark, as OPEC members are sticking to their quotas. The foreign reserve is on an upward trajectory and the CBN has a lot of cash to play with. Why should people hold on to dollars when it's not looking promising in the next couple of weeks? I'll tell you what will happen. The CBN's intervention will drive Naira to 400 to the green back, and hoarders like you with money tied down will panick and start offloading while they still can, which will in turn drive the rates to hover around the 360 mark before stabilising at around 355. Well I'm not in a position to judge, but ending your write up with the suggestions that people should hoard the greenback, is the worst possible way to go for any sane person. If you think anyone can take on the state backed CBN, then I wish good luck (no pun intended) 5 Likes |

Even if you are right, your advise is still wrong. Instead of telling people to hoard dollars, you should encourage people to use their Naira to exporting more commodities and services so that we can earn more dollars? Hoarding dollars is a bad advice... how long do you think it can go on before our currency and economy collapses? 3 Likes |

But to be honest Nigeria as acountry need a lot to be done to put some stuffs in good order. Osibanjo seems trying to do a bit better in some of his decision. But in as much I can see the situation hoarding the dollars will be of no much help. 1 Like |
