He is right. A BDC will get dollar at N199(N205 max) and sell at N301. Is it fair? Scammers
I think it is our banks that are causing the whole problem. I am not SURE but I think banks sell dollars(foreign currencies) to BDC for more than official price. That is why banks prefer selling to BDCs to selling to their customers. I most cases, they will tell you they don't have dollars. This is just what I think. They are rent seekers. BDCs won't mind buying dollars for 250 from the banks.

The biggest scammers are Mastercards and Visa. Those guys are sipping tea in their American office robbing us blue-black with the help of their partners in crime, Nigeria banks. On Monday I was charged 400 Naira to £1 on a POS, not even ATM so no transaction charges.

I am surprised that more Nigerians are not complaining about them. I exchanged N81 to 1 Ghanian Cedi on Mastercard today. These same people will collect it at N52 from CBN. I think they should be banned from Nigeria. Thieves they are

it is called arbitrage bros, it isn't illegal it is all finance. Nd it can't be stopped so long as all d economic factors create a devaluation of one currency over another arbitrage is bound to occur. Nd last I check BDC. Business is legal pmb shld seek financial advice from experts cos he isn't an economic expert I don't like his one man show approach

And it's only In Nigeria that one had to go to d Banks or to a particular market just to change or buy few currency notes.

Every other countries have BDCs on d streets that u don't v to go for miles to access them. And government gives a certain percentage of foreign currency to them y the source for the greater percentage. because they operate under Govt regulations
like what country?
Re: Buhari: BDC Is A Scam And Drain To Nigeria by profmallory(m): 9:23pm On Jan 29, 2016
To me banks are doing the same. Nevertheless I support Baba not giving to the BDC's any longer.

This President is SWITCHED ON. Cluelessness has disappeared from Nigerian leadership for ever. In case you missed it, BDC's are mostly owned by northerners, yet Buhari is saying they should will not be subdized by government corrupt agencies and employees to weaken the Naira again. CHANGE is truly here
Oga name ten BDC you know that is owned by a Northern person.

Whether the BDCs are a scam is a debatable point.

What is actually worrying is how Buhari seems to have taken charge of making technical decisions about our economy. I stand to be corrected, but he doesn't have any qualification in economics/finance or any allied discipline.
The other day, he was quoted as not being "convinced about the benefits of devaluation." I don't know if he has the technical skill to make the understand financial jargon. If it was Emefiele that was not convinced, that is understandable as he is a professional. But Buhari??


I am surprised at ur comment. So Buhari talking about an issue means he ruminated on it overnite and decided to unilaterally take a decision?
Kwantinue deceiving yourselves.

It is a common knowledge that the muslim hausas are in the majority in the BDC business, closing it down is direct affront to the economy of many muslim hausas his own very people. For those claiming that Buhari government has Islamic agenda and those who claimed is vindictive, or is government target at their region for not voting for him, you have been proven wrong. This is the most honest government that has been in Nigeria.
dis is economics bro nd not religion its crazy how nigerians attach religious centiments nd analysis to every issue. Truth of the matter is dat d naira has been devalued due to d economic situation nd forcing naira to remain at a level is unsustainable in d long run these r d factors dat create d exchange gain to the BDC operators its like a camel dat is on d verge of collapsing will d best response be to wedge it to stand up right wit a stick or to lay it down to rest? If d official rate is adjusted to meet economic realities it will eliminate all dis cos whether we like it or not wat we r paying is d intrinsic value (real value) of our naira

lol and you, you stayed in Onitsha to speak for the whole world abi?. Every sabo in south west you will find northerners dominating bdc market. Same with north central and entire north .. Yet you disagreed that northernerners are the major players in bdC market because a Onitsha one city out of over 150 cities in Nigeria has couple of Igbo's in bdc ... Oya clap for your self.
