In a "Mental Hospital" a journalist asks the Doctor: How do u determine whether to admit a mental patient or not?

Dr: "Well, we'd fill a bathtub with water and then give the patient;
(a). a teaspoon,
(B-). a glass,
(c). a bucket,
and ask them to empty the bathtub."

Journalist: "Oh, obviously a normal person would use the bucket because its bigger."

Dr: "No, a normal person would pull the drain plug! Please go to bed No.39. We will start further investigations on you!"
You also thought of the bucket, didn't you? Please go to bed No. 40 !

paramedic:

The best news of the day. Dollarisation of our economy is becoming a big problem. This thing will make the Naira lose value faster than we can imagine, because people hoard dollars, or go straight to Berau de Change to dollarise any money they get. Black market forex.
You cant believe that some estate owners, and even local landlords in Lagos collect rent in dollars. Even some primary and secondary schools.
I pray the eight assembly enacts laws to stop all these attitudes weakening the economy.

The FG/CBN's 'core' monetary policies unless changed, would only make the general population poorer, regardless of how much more money the country makes.
It basically ensures that, the Naira is always struggling against the dollar. All these Emefiele's strategies are merely like having 20 holes in a large leaking container, instead of fixing the biggest holes for quick effect, you waste your time f00ling around with the smallest holes.

In GTB for instance, no limit has been placed on domiciliary accounts balances. The limit placed is on the maximum amount that can be withdrawn or deposited into an account in a day which is $10000.

From the responses here, it's clear that most NL members are bereft of how Naija economy works. From ur shoes-handbags to ur cellphone/computer how many of them have made in Nigeria tag?? None!' Foreign currencies are needed on daily basis to pay for these goods. Shipping companies and airlines all want to be paid in $$€€. CBN has restricted these payments without providing a viable alternative. This has resulted in pushing the price of $ up in the black market to $1-N223.
Naija economy is import dependent cos we don't manufacure that much and Naija Naira is worthless piece of paper.

The above is correct, but it puts less strain on the dollar than;

1. Importation of refined petroleum products -- which is madness.

2. Foreign currencies demand/looting by our 'polithievians'.

3. And the faulty monetary policies operated by the FG/CBN, which ensures scarcity of the dollar=huge amount of Naira chasing few dollars -- scarcity=price hike . . . throw in Forex racketeering by the CBN,Banks,BDCs, and others.
