hustla: If you like hang everybody until the hangman hangs himself it won't change anything. China is currently facing the same problem. Heard it on BBC yesterday. Despite their draconian laws there is widespread illicit capital flight. The rule is 50k dollars max. transfer by person. There is widespread over invoicing, fraud and identity theft/collusion going on right now in China. People just want to get dollars out by all means because the government stubbornly refuses to devalue. No matter how you spray a swamp the bugs will always re-emerge because the atmosphere is perfect for them. To stop them, drain the swamp. Restructure Nigeria and rid it of bugs. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Where will Emefiele turn to, he accused the Bureau De Change of round trippng, forward loading etc. And now banks are even worse, will the CBN start selling to end users, The truth of the matter is that, the BDCs determine the true value of the Naira, everybody( home and abroad) wants to deal using the black market rate. As at this afternoon, Black Market Rate for Dollar is: We Buy 335 We Sell 338. My advise for Emefiele is to work with the BDCs and regulate their activities properly. 1 Like |

I started hating Access bank the day I withdrew part of the profits in my Online Forex account which I funded through their Visa card back then at N220 per Dollar only to be paid @ N199 per dollar. In fact, it pained me to my bone marrows cos I was expecting the rate not to be lesser than N300 per dollar then as I was charged over N300/dollar by same bank when I used it to buy online around that time ; so they chop over N101 on a dollar from my earnings... walahi, e no go better for them all. Na untimely death and sickness go dey collect the money from anyone flexing with my hard earned money among them. Awon ole oloju kokoro 2 Likes |

CBN may wish to consider introducing the following measures in addition to directing the banks to publish their official weekly forex applications. Importers should be directed to submit copies of their weekly forex requests to the CBN or it's accredited agents to monitor the time frame of final release of forex to overseas suppliers through the various banks. Also, invoices submitted by importers should be reviewed by CBN or its special agents to ensure that prices are not inflated to take forex out of the country. Banks should be compelled to periodically publish their Open Account transactions and dollar equivalent of withdrawals by Nigerians using naira cards overseas. Further, declaration of forex being taken out through the airports should be taken seriously and well documented. BDC should also submit their weekly forex transactions to CBN, showing sources of their forex stock and end users. The totality of these measures, among others, will reveal significantly the outflows from the system. Once we have this data, it becomes easier to see which bank or entity is engaged in forex sharp practices and the penalty should be hefty, including jail term for the internal audit staff of defaulting banks without option of fine! To complement the above measures, the federal government should outlaw the use of forex in any transaction within Nigeria and offenders should face serious sanctions including jail term. 3 Likes |

When CBN stopped the sale FX to BDCs, most kids were here applauding the move and prefer to do business with banks that BDCs Operators are fraudulent. Now that DMBs has the monopoly to buy from CBN and sell to end use, has the selling margin been anything friendly? No, quote me if BUHARI ( Emefiele is not in Charge here) don't reverse that, dollar will hit N400 to 1$ by month end. |

tunde4top: Aren't you forgetting something? Nigeria is already an export dependent country. If the price of oil was really high we wouldn't even be discussing devaluation or a forex crisis, this goes to show that devaluation is a farce which would not help the current state of our economy but actually make it worse. Remember the Naira was devalued in 2014 and this sparked the beginning of the collapse. Your theory would only work if three things happen simultaneously, investors are encouraged by stable electricity and security, the price of oil maintains its current level and the CBN reverses all of its forex policies made within the last 12 months. You and I know this is not going to happen 1 Like 1 Share |

Adesiji77: Nigerian importers are crazy. They ought to report fraudulent practice. All the other banks with take high level caution after one had been indicted and slam with billions of naira fine. But they would stay dumbed and be complaining Nigeria is bad. In the real sense, they are the evils killing the country with their inaction in the face of injustice and impunity |

Optimisticgondy:mr man , you don't need to blame the bank for this, you should have known that you are are using a naira denominate card to pay for dollar transaction, and the rule ,is whenever you are receiving payment to the card , they pay you at official rate, and they are free to charge you any amount when you are making payment, you should have opted for dollar card, ie opening a dom acct. and applying for visa card to be linked to it, it will save you all this stress, that was exactly what i did. 1 Like |

Ndolarr: This racket can't succeed in developed Nations. Why? The importers will report to police,efcc and regulatory authority immediately. There are investigative journalists that will pretend to do such fraudulent deal with the banks just so as to catch them red-handed with video proof. Such journalists becomes heroes. Why are we this lukewarm and condescending in this country? Government cant be everywhere, we need to help them. 1 Like |

Only a fool will say CBN is not aware of this racketeering by the commercial banks. I won't be surprised to hear that there is certain amount being remitted back to CBN by these banks. The people who will be at the receiving end are the masses, because the importers will only sell based on the cost of their purchases. My question is that, if someone earns his dollars through an online business (such as Affiliate Marketing), which exchange rate would his payment be accrued to in Naira. Even if you've specified dollar as your payment currency in your account. |
