Because there was no parallel market (yet to be reported anywhere).. Haven you forgotten that during Abacha there was 2 different exchange rates? My emphasis is how much your dollar will be exchanged at the bank not what the government is exchanging on it's own

I will repeat my question, what is the exchange rate of naira to dollar today?

WRONG!! CBN said it is 168 to a dollar http://www.cenbank.org/rates/ExchRateByCurrency.asp

187 is in the parallel market, 168 is the official exchange rate.. another question, are you exchanging your dollar at 168? the answer to this will surely answer your question about the exchange posted by obiageli.

Fellow Nigerians,

Once again the truth has been told about Major General Mohamodu Buhari Rtd. lies about his economic policy during his draconian rule of 1983-1985.

The record is now set straight

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

have you bothered to check the date of the CBN website? I did say N180 but cited the other source. Xe.com pegs it at N180 (official).

Google Finance pegged it at N187
Yahoo Finace... N187

Call your aboki and see if he will sell it to you at N187 or less.

As at November 29, 2014 the official exchange was N168/$ and kept going down. As at today the official rate is N180 according to xe.com or 187 according to google finance. But in the blackmarket it is higher(I can't give figure)

Rising from the two-day meeting, the CBN

STOP!!!

Between December 15 to December 21 the naira has exchanged between 178 (lowest) to 187 (highest) yet, throughout this period, The official rate from CBN still remain 168

http://www.cenbank.org/rates/ExchRateByCurrency.asp

This is what it mean by official and parallel market and as citizens we are concerned with the parallel market because that is how much your bank will exchange for you.

If you agree to this, then the exchange during Buhari time is not 0.8 but 1.7 even the man himself said it was 1.5... I fail to understand your argument

Guy when trading with the bankn the standard exchange anÐ not "black market" rate is used. When doing international transaction with your naira mastercard, the standard rate (as cited in google or xe.com) is used against whatever the "Ab.o.ki" use as his. Like I said earlier, I won't engage in unnecessary argument(just like I avoided your thread). I challenge you to call your street merchant and see if he will sell at that rate to you. the CBN stated figure in their archive with date that is unupdates. Befre the devaluation, the CBN and XE.com rates are always at par or something close. I will only argue updated figure. #Peace
Re: Exchange Rate Under Buhari, The Truth. by blackfase(m): 6:18pm On Dec 21, 2014
Hmmm, wisdom! Its kinda safe to assume that was the scenario cos such data is usually logged for the archives at the close of any particular year but I get your point. The mudslinging & tirade even with verifiable stats is already nauseatingly fearsome enough innit lol......

In whatever form, GMB ran a bad economic policy if you ask me. undecided
In my little understanding, for parallel or black market price to be so high compare to official market it means there is high restrictions to non official exchange of dollar that policy was to force all foreign exchange to pass through official market so as to properly manage and control the xchange rate.
I think you can easily find answer to why it is opposite I'm the second regime.

SWISS FRANC 173.2006 173.7191 174.2377

Swiss franc was selling at 174 on 12/17/2014 while on 12/18/2014 it was selling at 171.. what makes the figure not updated? you are losing the argument already. http://www.cenbank.org/rates/ExchRateByCurrency.asp

Like I said, the official exchange in 1985 was 0.8 but the real exchange rate was 1.7! just as today, the official exchange rate is 168 but the real exchange rate is 187

One more point for you... You said previously that during Buhari regime, it was mandatory to sell goods at specific price without much markup and hording... the question, why did the same government allow the disparity in exchange rate? the disparity is more than 100% between official rate and parallel market?
