kettykin: It has always been a crime to travel with very large amount of money whatever currency. However you are expected to declare what you have on you. But in Nigeria things had become "stupidly loose". 5 Likes |

Pls dont let us use tribal sentiments, remember they seized Fela Anikulapo's Foreign currency in the 80's at the airport then for money laundering... The policy has always been there! Pls let us be civilised! Thanks. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Most Traders travel with raw cash to foreign countries like China because it reduces cost, it makes trade faster for them and some other reasons. Their money should be returned to them immediately. They should explain the new policies better to them and make sure this policy is better than the way they operated under the last administeration. I know that traders where very comfortable doing business under Jonathan and i am saying this as someone who had stayed some months in main market and has a relative that import wears from China. 14 Likes |

these dudes probably already had their dollars in cash before cbn introduced the policy that commercial banks should no longer accept dollar deposits. so there is no way these traders can deposit these funds into their domicilary account in order to transfer to their business associates outside the country. how do you expect them to cope? government should think twice before introducing policies that could become injurious to the masses 13 Likes |

There's no ignorance in law. The policy is a very good policy to strengthen our own currency due to dwindling in oil price. The current policy on foreign currency lodgement in commercial banks made adequate provision for importers and exporters. Those wailing without the in - depth knowledge of the policy should visit CBN website www.cbn.gov for adequate information. The anti money laundering of declaring cash while travelling and limit of the amount you can travel with was not made by this administration rather it's in the Anti Money Laundering Act. After due diligence and confirmation that they're genuine traders, there money and passport should be returned and educate on how to carry out such transactions. Thank you. 5 Likes |

niversally, anything up to $10.000, even if the post erroneously said it's $5000, not reported to the Customs at the Airport is an offense. This is not a tribal thing. Those Trying To Make this a witch hunt thing, are full of mischief. All the traders needed to do was declare their MONEY. Trying to sneak a large amount of money out of the country, knowingly or not, is an offense. They broke the law, and there are consequences for that. And remember, ignorance is not an excuse before the law, incase they claim they did not know they were breaking the law. (Quote) (Report) 17 Likes (Like) 1 Share (Share) If I may ask.

themilanway:Kenya is a hundred times better pace than that zoo you call country, Kenya has a very civilized society, constant electricity and a lot of things which the zoo can only dream of, my cousin travelled to there from Gabon (I am in Gabon right now, we take electricity and pipe borne water for granted over here BTW) he came back looking fairer in complexion because no to much sun to burn the skin as in the zoo, you know a young traveller is better and wiser than an old villager.

lincolnj88:I am an igbo. The law said if you are carrying anything above 10,000 just declare it to the custom at the airport. If you refuse to declare it and you are caught the money becomes property of the goverment. There is also a jail term attached to it. They would have simply declared the money at the airport and move on. America, uk etc have similar law. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Is nw fr government to tell me the amount of goods I will buy wit my money? If I hav need fr goods worth 20k dollars fr my shop, the government will tell me NO! I must reduce it to 5000k imgine that! They even called it money-laundering, instead of them to go after politicians, they chasing innocent traders who suffered to make sometin out of nothing. This stupid measures will nt turn the economy around it can only make tins worst, if they want the ZOO economy to grow then they hav to encourage local producers to produce export standard,by so doing mass IMPORTATION will die a natural death.

They can legally convert that money at the bank, and do money transfers at the official rate to wherever they wish. That's how civilized countries do it. That's one of the ways currencies and economies are strengthened - through transparent transactions and accountability! Quit complaining, people, and do the right thing. We all have our little parts to play to stir this country right! 6 Likes 1 Share |

I HungerBAD:Offering ignorant opinion from your abundance of misinformation.. Carrying cash is not a crime in most countries unless you are traveling outside and fail to declare security agencies.. Raiding a market for FX is pure entrenchment of illegality. There are govt registered BDCs, what is their job?? CBN stopped banks from taking FX without notice, how will business folks cope?! Staccato manner of banning everthing without notice and alternative is no policy!! 8 Likes 1 Share |
