This one has been cajoled.
Forex crisis is a crisis of earnings, not importation.

You are the one who has been cajoled. Maybe you're just a paid influencer deliberately spreading misinformation.

Naira dévaluation is as a result of excess demand (importation) of FX over supply (oil and non oil exports).

A good chunk of our limited FX is spent on fuel imports when as an OPEC member state we should not just be refining but selling the excess to our countries which will boost our foreign reserves. This will insulate our economy from oil price fluctuations on the international market and reduce the demand for FX thus strengthening our Naira and reducing inflation in the country.

...$800M is how much in #aira......?!
614 billion naira.

And FG is giving each state plus Abuja 5 billion Naira which is 5×37=185 billion naira.

614-185=429 billion naira.

Where is the remaining 429 billion naira ? Tinubu and his criminal gangs in government has looted and steal it!!!

Yet some Foolish Nigerians are celebrating this news. The 5 billion Naira peanut will still be looted by the state governors.

WE DONT NEED PALLATIVE, GIVE US ASSURANCE THAT OUR REFINERY WILL WORK AT NO BISTANCT FUTURE AND WORK ON NAIRA/ DOLLAR RATE, WILL ENDURE IT.

There is no such thing as excess demand in forex.
It is always a question of limited supply.


A good chunk of our limited FX is spent on fuel imports when as an OPEC member state we should not just be refining but selling the excess to our countries which will boost our foreign reserves. This will insulate our economy from oil price fluctuations on the international market and reduce the demand for FX thus strengthening our Naira and reducing inflation in the country.
OPEC is just a quota fixing cartel!
It has no significant bearing on a country's economic power.

I am not sure you read your own answer.
Why would you blame the problem on "excess" demand and then turnaround to prescribe
a supply solution(earning)?

You are obviously confusing cause and effect.
Again, there is no excess forex demand.

Thunder fire una and una generation. If not that the youths of this generation are cursed, they supposed to have slaughtered with blunt knives every politrician who has and is holding public office in Nigeria. Here they come again with this federal gift for welcome parties to Gandollar governors in their various states and they stylishly labeled it with the name of money for the poor! God bend una neck permanently with incurable disease! An outlandish label that can never be tracked or accounted for or probed! This God bestowed money for the commonwealth of Nigeria is about to go down the bottomless pit of politricians avarice and the lazy dumb ass youths in military and civilian institutions are again watching in a bamboozled hypnotized state of generational curse . WEEP FOR YOUR GENERATION..

This is an affirmation on my earlier comment that Nigeria is not ready to go out of woods in the nearest future. Multiply 5bn by 36 states with FCT and tell me if 185bn cannot go a long way in revamping our refineries.

It is not an earnings effect when FX that could be used by thein meeting other commercial imports

There is no commodity that has an infinite supply. The price of every commodity is an interaction between its availability (supply) and it's demand. Both forces work together to determine the prevailing rate of the commodity. Saying there is no excess demand of FX is too one dimensional to say the least.

Now to the issue of FX.

The quantity of fx made available by CBN for fuel marketers and importers to purchase on the official market is limited due to our hamstrung oil earnings and loan obligations yes. However, there are fx demand components like that of oil imports which if addressed will reduce the pressure on our reserves not just because there will be increased earnings but because the existing scarce resources can be saved or better utilized on more deserving sectors of the economy. This importation component is part of the excess demand I refer to.

Forex is not a commodity.
It serves a specific purpose and there is a point at which it sufficiently meets all demands.

You don't need an infinite supply to meets the demand for forex or any other resource.
A condition of glut is commonly met without infinite supply.
