Tell us the population of Nigeria from that time till date.Remember also to let us know the cost of crude oil in the world market at that time and now.Don't also forget to tell us the gradual destruction of the economy from that time till date.Remember that before AIDS becomes full blown AIDS it starts from HIV,and it took the world a long time to find partial remedy for it.

So sad how we mismanaged our economy and messed up our financial system.
Greed and corruption killed us.
Other countries had stable exchange rate for decades. But ours is a pitiable and sorrowful one.
Devaluation never helped us .

Because we were not sincere with the devaluation, in order to open the corruption door for a select few


nigerianvenom:
Muhammad Sanusi II, the emir of Kano and the immediate past governor of the Central Bank (CBN), says President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement of the CBN foreign exchange policy encourages corruption.

Lauding Buhari’s removal of “wasteful and corrupt fuel subsidies”, Sanusi said the current forex policy endorsed by the president encourages similar rent seeking and corruption which trailed the subsidy regime.

“He (Buhari) has put an end to the [crude] swap regime which is also one side of rent-seeking and corruption . . . he has made the NNPC start producing accounts, so there is greater transparency,” Sanusi told Financial Times.

“These measures are good for the economy and display strong political will to change the system. But getting monetary and fiscal policies right will be crucial for broader progress in structural reform.”

FT quoted the emir as saying the president’s anti-corruption stance was “totally inconsistent” with the foreign exchange regime he supported, adding that it “encourages corruption and rent-seeking similar to the fuel subsidy regime”.

Look at your mouth, buhari is the cause of everything.
Was it not under Jonathan that dollar moved from #160 to #500 before it finally settled at #350 in 2015/before buhari took over?

Pls I hope u all realized that this post is misleading. As at 2007 when I ventured into forex, I could remember exchanging $100 for 15k.
I did this in the black market and funded my forex account with it. So the exchange rate being spread here is completely not true, for the year 2007

The old people really failed us. They failed to maintain and keep what they enjoyed for the next generation. They went through the ladder to the top and pushed it away for the next generation. They had a blueprint left by the colonial masters that was handed to them at independence but failed to build on it.smh

I wish you understand that any dollar that have stayed more than 10years will not be accepted by the bank and other exchange bodies. Kindly verify and thank me later, not to talk of 1972. Just like having 1billion dollars of 25 kobo, where you wan spend am.

I believe I will logically correct when I say Nigeria has actually been and is still DYING financially. All these years the currency has successfully maintained an uneven death process. Therefore, despite the little show of development and economic improvement, the country approaches its grave. The CBN has failed. All tiers of government has failed. RIP NIGERIA.... WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU TILL THE END.

Under our Saint Obi president. The one who never steals, white as snow,our everlasting perfect presido, naira increased two times from 199-300 and 300-363. Na God help us sef,at a time it was 405naira.
The shameless satanic & demonic PDP with Obj & the shameless international thief, Atiku, in power supervised the greatest increase in the dollar. They met dollar at 23 naira when they assumed officer in 1999 & took it to about 123 naira within their first term in power! That's almost a whooping 500% increase! No other administration recorded such crazy increase!
Re: History Of Naira To Dollar Exchange Rate (1972-2019) by pacespot(m): 9:34pm On Aug 02, 2019
One thing that is clear is that the price of dollar has been going up ever since, it has never come down for once. So it means the dollar can only go up from the N363/$1 we are in currently, only the government's unorthodox intervention is preventing that presently.
