The worrying fact about the drop is that the next OPEC meeting is in June, 2016. So we can pretty much assume that the price of oil will hover around current prices or fall further till mid next year.

According to estimates, CBN can only maintain the static exchange rate for about 10 more months or there about.

Bottom line is, unless oil prices increase significantly by some weird twist of fate, the official Naira rate will have fallen by a huge landslide by this time next year. And it ain't going to be funny because we are an import based economy.

Regardless of party partisanship, let us really hope that the gamble by CBN/PMB pays off, cause if it doesn't, the country will fall into 2008/2009 Greece style recession.

Now it is becoming scary, gradually we will lose everything before this man's tenure ends. Nothing helpful is being done to remedy the situation. It appears we still do not have ministers or has the president sacked them?

Nairaland should be a learning place where we exchange ideas, but it has been high jacked lately by people who want to make front pages without ideas. Forget about your political alignments, support Nigeria to come out of our depressed state. Say 'NO' to oil cabals who have been making life difficult for Nigeria and Nigerians. Say 'NO' to people picking billions without doing anything. Say 'NO' to deceit!

Have fallen by 20 per cent since the end of June 2014, when Brent crude prices began a more than 60 per cent plunge, hammering the finances of Africa’s largest economy and biggest





No wonder they said, if u want to hide some thing from a black man, put it inside a book. It's how you people are blaming Buhari for this naira-dollar fall. And yet you people read in the article where it says the reserves have been falling since June 2014, the 15th year of PDP as a ruling party? What were they doing when we were selling crude at $150 per barrel. And most of you are youths, no wonder many of Nigerian youths are unemployable. We can't even explain to a foreigner what's responsible for our economy crisis.

Don't mind those Ishmalites, they have been doing same to me even went as far as deleating all my post that relates to us Biafrans. They get unsettled that i post the leaked audio tapes of APC plans to destroy Igbo business in the North and west before the end of Buhari's administration.

I have made it clear to them that words must get out, i am not in Nairaland to look at Totonto's cleavage.


abouzaid:
if i talk now they would ban me again but one i know for sure is that at this rate, naira must sell for atleast #300 to a dollar by next year end. those moderators banning me, how much do you spend now buying things online compared to what you spend before may29? you guys should have a rethink of your banning policy. i have never insulted anybody here so why do you keep banning me for been pro biafra? we're your customers o, if you drive us away, lai Mohammed won't invite you to his next meeting with bloggers.

Where are those supporting Buhari's CBN policies ? If i no do economics, at least i do business.

Let him keep fighting Igbo businesses in the name of protecting the naira ?

The naira has denied Bubari.

The central bank had during its weekly forex sale to the BDCs last Wednesday refused to sell forex to operators that failed to render returns on the utilisation of previous forex bought at the official window


Why would some forex operators refused to file their returns? So in order words, am I right to conclude that we are the ones creating unnecessary problems for ourselves. I stand to be corrected though

are you just realising this? Many of the problems plaguing the country, including the current fuel scarcity are caused by Nigerians themselves, the greedy ones.

Drops or Rises?

I mean difference does it make? What's the impact

The impact is that the Nigerian economy will be experiencing an imported inflation coupled with the domestic inflation we are currently witnessing. Reason being that we are import dependent . Buh again, there is an opportunity for local manufacturers because the fall of the naira means that imported goods will become quite expensive. Its actually not the best time for the Nigerian economy and the Buhari's led administration have alot of work to do.

Body language pumped into the reserve will sure stabilize it... Mumu country.

Continue to over stretch the CBN... They will deal with monetary as well as fiscal policy while the rest devise lies and sensational stories to distract the populace

And why has Buhari not arrested the fall? Apart from the supplementary budget to pay subsidy what else has he been doing with money as to cause a continuous decline in our reserve?
I am sure we make enough money to pay for his transportation around the world and that need not come from our reserve.

Well I'm not saying Buhari has done anything right...but I'm saying it is wrong to blame him for inheriting a crumbling economy. Nigeria is not the only OPEC experiencing this crisis. But we expect some cushioning against this fall. Maybe that's why he has summoned an emergency FEC meeting.
And traveling abroad, if it's not important for the progress of this country, I don't think he will attend. Nigeria has suffered an international relationship with some of the countries that can help us, one of the things he is doing is to repair this relationship, hence the China commitment to complete the abandoned power project. The country is very broke. He will be a crazy fellow to squander the little resources left at this time, I'd like to think that way until I'm proven wrong sir.
