I can't worry about that, but what of people who don't know these things like we do, they will end up buying these things at high prices, the business class are wicked now I understand why people see them as money ritualist

pacespot:
The multiple exchange rates policy was the reason why I opened a domiciliary account, because I can't afford to exchange my dollars to naira at the official price 307 while the same dollar is being sold to me at 360 or above. The multiple exchange rates policy has only benefited the rich who have access to purchase dollars at the official price, and this has only served to widen the gap between the rich and poor while discouraging foreign investors. But the current unified exchange rate should be well monitored to avoid further collapse in naira.

What this means is that dollar was exchanged BY CBN for importer AT N357 and N307 for exporter. This means you you pay more Naira to get dollar if you are importing. This goes for payment of school fees abroad and other goods and services. Black market operators also get dollar from CBN at 357 to 1 dollars. That is why at black markets the exchange rate hovers around 358 to 362 to one dollar during the period. Government receives dollar from the sales of her oil which is kept by CBN. Projected budget of government for 2020 is based on oil benchmark price of 57 dollar per barrel. The price of oil has fallen in the global market to below $30. This means that government revenue has fallen substantially as oil accounts for about 90% of export earnings. In order to get more Naira to pay for internal spendings in the country such as payment of salaries and contractors, government must get more Naira. In doing so, quantity of Naira to be exchanged for dollar must be increased. Government doesn’t want to use the term “devaluation” hence it used exchange rate equalization. This means that no more 307, 357 Naira exchange to the dollar anymore but N380 for all multiple exchanges to a dollar. So our official rate to one dollar is now N380. Black market operators will be selling at amount higher than this may be N400 to one dollar depending on the availability of dollar in the market. Remember that over 50 oil cargo of Nigeria is on the see without willing buyers ad the demand for oil has reduced in the international market. The price is on the free fall because of Saudi and Russia price and output war. If the price of oil falls further to say $20 per barrel, Naira nearly collapse. Government may ban importation of less essential goods. It may go and borrow money from from international financial institutions such as IMF with stringent measures. It may devalue the currency further. Those with fixed income will be worse off. Prices of goods and services will go up. Demand for goods and services will fall. It will affect company revenue and lead to job loses.

SMH, and the sh!thole continues to sink deeper into the abyss.
Poverty skyrocketing!
Insecurity skyrocketing!
Unemployment skyrocketing!
Infrastructure totally delapidated!

What kind of hellhole is this??
Is it by force to remain together since Nigeria has proven to be an irredeemable scam??
How long can we all continue to suffer like this when we can do the right thing by either restructuring or breaking up this unfortunate country??

What a useless country!!!

If dollar eventually reaches 1000 to 1 dollar, Nigerians will have to look elsewhere for supply of goods than foreign market. It's a good policy that should have been implemented long time ago not at this point when we are already dependent on foreign products. But with time we will learn to look inwards. I wonder how many of us will be able to afford flight tickets, cars, and other things maybe motorcycles or bicycles will be our new means of mobility. Let's see how it goes

Yes of course: that's the objective of the prayers.

Perhaps then the suffering will lead to a revolution that'll oust the current crop of visionless leaders.

Think about it.

It will still be the same thing.

Nigeria problem is structural

Biafrarep:


I agree with you that the problem with Nigeria is structural. However, since the northerners have refused to accept restructuring of the country for whatever reason, it is best for the South to breakout of the sh!thole and afterwards, the constituent parts will holistically look at the problems that destroyed Nigeria and structure the new nation in a way that will make it successful or further break it down to more manageable units.

We can't continue going in circle forever!!

This is in reference to a practice when certain institutions like banks and possibly individuals are able to obtain forex at a certain rate "officially" and can then turn around to sell same on the black market at a different price thereby making profit on the same

Believe me even those ones won't buy because there's no purchasing power for that. My only advice is for traders to start looking for cheaper options with considerable value otherwise they will be thrown out of business. People who were using four phones will stick to one phone that accepts 4 sims because it's cheaper. It's a good policy to curb excesses but my grievance is that government is once again relying on the masses to sort it out of the mess it put us into. They will never cut their salaries and allowances, they will still buy the cars they get yearly, and maintain their entourages but we are the ones who they pour the burden of sorting the economy out.
APC will be thrown out in 2023, not because of the policies but because the masses now know that they are a bunch of selfish, wicked leaders.
