Compare Nigeria's Naira To Other African currencie and Be Shocked At The Result. by Zenithpeak(m): 7:51am On Oct 15, 2017 |
I wanted to do an online transaction with an online fashion brand abroad. Of course, I always make sure I check the exchange rate before I place an order, to know how much I would be spending in naira. As usual, after calculating the exchange rate, what I wanted to get was on the high side. I just became humble and cancelled the transaction. I started thinking if the disparity between dollar and naira is so insane, what will be the exchange rate of the naira to the currencies of other African countries. I picked 25 random African countries and compared their currencies with the naira. Before I started my findings, I felt only a few African countries could have stronger currencies than the naira but boy I was shocked and ashamed with what I came up with. Check out the latest exchange rate of the Nigerian naira compared to some random African countries' currencies. 1. South Africa - 1 Rand = 26.28 Naira 2. Ethiopia - 1 Birr = 13.30 Naira 3. Ghana - 1 Cedi = 81.96 Naira 4. Gambia - 1 Dalasi = 7.60 Naira 5. Kenya - 1 Shilling = 3.48 Naira 6. Liberia - 1 Dinar = 3.05 Naira 7. Swaziland - 1 Lilangeni = 26.55 Naira 8. Tunisia - 1 Dinar = 145.90 Naira 9. Zambia - 1 kwacha = 36.7 Naira 10. Angola - 1 kwanza = 2.17 Naira 11. Lesotho - 1 Loti = 26.55 Naira 12. Libya - 1 Dinar = 262.77 Naira 13. Morrocco - 1 Dirham = 38.32 Naira 14. Madagascar - 1 Ariary = 0.12 Naira 15. Mauritius - 1 Rupee = 10.5 Naira 16. Malawi - 1 kwacha = 0.50 Naira 17. Mozambique - 1 Metical = 5.8Naira 18. Namibia - 1 Dollar = 26.55 Naira 19. Seychelles - 1 Rupee = 26.38 Naira 20. Sudan - 1 pound = 53.89 Naira 21. Botswana - 1 Pula = 34.60 Naira 22. Cape Verde - 1 Escudo = 3.82 Naira 23. Algeria - 1 Dinar = 3.18 Naira 24. Egypt - 1 Pound = 20.45 Naira 25. Eritrea - 1 Nakata = 23.52 Naira The currencies of some worse economies in Africa have better value than the naira. So the question is - Do you think Nigeria's naira is the weakest currency in Africa and the world at large and what is the way forward to strengthen the naira.

I think you need to understand dynamics of economy of Nations. Production determined the strength of currency of any country. Nigeria economic production is currently at its lowest ebb because of the problem with crude price. Note, this is our major production. Any country that find herself in this type of situation must devalue her currency to encourage exportation and discourage importation. Production to meet local need and for export will increase. In 2007 - 2009 both us and Britain devalue their currency more than 3 time because of recession. Even Ghana you put here had to divide their currency by 1000 to have current value Finally, this have nothing to do with the quality of life in the country but to encourage production. TURKISH LIRA. IS THE MOST USELESS CURRENCY IN THE WORLD BUT TURKEY HAVE BETTER ECONOMY AND QUALITY OF LIFE THAN ANY OF AFRICAN COUNTRY UP THERE. The little gain we have in non oil export and rice production wouldn't have Bern NC possible without the ddevaluation. 293 Likes 31 Shares |

Nigeria doesn't need the naira to be that strong, although the current exchange rate is to low, we need the naira to be around #150 to $1. as for Ghana and co that made their currency very high, they do it because most of the goods are imported and nigeria doesn't need that. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Instead of developing our nation's economy we are on a borrowing spree with dire conditions that will further plunged the Naira into quicksand and the citizens fighting with the mysterious economic conditions that defiles the intellectual capacities of even the best economists in the whole world. 5 Likes |

Complete show of ignorance. This is how many Nigerians assume they are experts in Economics. The value of your currency is not measured by the figure it exchanges against other currencies but what it can buy. 300 Naira can buy you a loaf of bread in Nigeria but can 10 Kenyan shillings buy you that same loaf? When you change that money what can it buy? That is the true value. Your nominal value does not mean much. 185 Likes 14 Shares |

You do not need to check up the exchange rate to know our naira is just a level over a piece of paper. Even within Nigeria the naira buying power is so low. 4 Likes |

It does not work that way. Most of the currencies above cannot be exchanged with Naira directly, it is either you buy Dollar, Euro or Pound Sterling and take them to these countries to get the local currencies. 10 Likes |

The dream Nigerian leader is that man who would understand what Nigerians indigenous production power lies in..and dedicate resources to industrialize the economy in those directions. Thay is when the education from primary any level would have a sense of purpose and direction. It's not about telling Nigerians to look away from crude oil and go into agriculture; but making sure that there is little need to export whatever is gotten from the soils. That way, more of the money remains within. But if the government doesn't invest in subsidized industrialization, it would still be cheaper to import pencils. 4 Likes |
