Its very basic... the british economy is steadily growing. Lets use this analogy. Taking the US economy and the british ecoomy constant Assumimg when the USD was N200, GBP was N300 Autoatically, when the usd becomes N400, the GBP should be N600. However other forces (international) are into play such as the brexit which made the GBP fall over 18% to the USD and alsothe strong rising USD due to innovation, the continous demand for American products and Trumps election win. All these has kept the USD higher than the GBP therefore maintaining about the same N100 difference because of the stagation of the GBP Now that the british economy are beginning to get over their brexit issue and mapping out stratrgies to overcome, the economy is gradually growing again. The little growth is howver evident in our economy because of the poor value of the Naira. 3 Likes 1 Share |

buharimustlive: If Buhari is a dullard, it is because Nigerians are mostly dull. If Buhari is ignorant, it is because Nigeria is an ignorant society. Buhari is a reflection of the psychological and moral representation of Nigerians. The mere fact that you are asking for the return of GEJ proves my point. You guys don't learn from anything. You are like a rock; Nothing passes through it and nothing can come out of it. You as a people cannot retain knowledge. You forget too easily. Also remember, people vote for leaders who they think are like them. No one coerced them into placing their ballots for him. They saw a reflection of him in their daily lives. Now that you all are confronted with who truly represents your ideals, you are all shocked and flabbergasted. It is like looking in a mirror and not liking what you see. It will happen again. Nigeria has a history of it's people not learning from past mistakes. People who don't acknowledge history and their mistakes are doomed to repeat them. If you listen to fela's songs he released in the 70's, you'd think he released them just yesterday. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't understand the op's analysis. At present, 1 pound = 1.2662 dollar (https://xe.com) If 1 dollar costs 485 naira, then 1 pound should be 614 naira. If the pound can be purchased at 605 naira, then the pound is relatively cheap. 3 Likes |

Re: Why Is Pound Outstripping Dollars In Nigeria by ekenetheorg(m): 8:42am On Dec 14, 2016 |
Poor mathematics from OP. if the difference between dollar and pound with respect to Naira is 100, at a specific exchange rate, this difference will change as the exchange rate if either currency changes. Example: $1=N200, 1£=300 $1=N400, 1£=600 The difference has moved from 100 to 200. But this isn't always true. A little difference will also arise bases on other forces that affect the two currencies. Just go buy bitcoin from Nairafinex.com and stop hoping to buy pounds, then change to dollar to arrive at a cheaper rate. spinna: |

The OP's observation is not correct. Check actual figures on http://abokifx.com/previous-rates-2/. Let's assume for a moment that it is even correct, it is a matter of simple ratio for the difference to be more than 100 at higher values even if dollar and pound are of equal strength. See the analysis below. That means if dollar was N200 when pound was N300 (this is just and example), then pound should be N750 should be when dollar is N500. Ratio of pound to dollar of 1:1.5 Based on the exchange rates we have now, dollar has even appreciated far more than pound.

spinna: If you know how to do ratios and mathematical relationships, you would know that the gap won't be a singular figure.. If Naira was 200 to a dollar. When naira was 250 to pound. The gap had not always been #100 and cannot be a fixed figure broda. You only spotted #100 when you started paying attention to the exchange rate.. |

dhardline: Let's say they impeach him and replace him with Ben Bruce from Bayelsa State, I believe the following will immediately happen: 1. Nigeria's oil income would immediately triple. 2. The Naira will make a u-turn and become 150/$. 3. Millions of job will be created as militants setup companies from the money they've been hoarding. 4. The price of rice would crash to 6K per bag as everyone is celebrating 5. The hardship in the country would just disappear fiam! 6. Nigeria would start to earn Billions of dollars from the export of Textile, Rubber, Tin, Cassava, etc 7. The vaults of the CBN would be filled with dollars 8. Nigerians would be smiling, happy, joyous and celebrating being the 3rd largest economy in the world! NASS, let's do it! 1 Like 1 Share |
