APC Propagandist! Stop the voodoo economics

you are the one that should learn more about issues of commerce before politicizing them. I am not a fan of buhari but this Eco move by the 8 French west African countries without due consultation is absolute nonsense that shouldn't be agreed to by any country worth anything.

Do not compare a working nation like Ghana with Nigeria. When talking about purchasing power of our money, it is true you might buy lots of things with Naira here in Nigeria which is not the case in Ghana. The same applies to the UK and USA. It would be wrong for you to misinform folks in Nigeria about the Ghanaian CEDI's.

Is it Naira you spend in Ghana? Why are you deliberately being stupid to yourself?

Any money converted to the cedi becomes useless because the cedi is useless.

You spend more cedi to convert to less Naira and you spend less naira to convert to more cedi.

Which of the above shows the one that is stronger? You smoke?

So you expect Nigeria to just accept it? You must be dreaming. Nigerria is West Africa, no Nigeria, no West Africa. We closed our boarders and all West African countries are crying and weeping. So, we take the shoots and as the Chairman, we speak last. If we Nigeria do not accept it, ECOWAS will have no other choice than to also rescind its decision, else we will muzzle ECOWAS to death. And with Major General Muhammadu Buhari on the seat, Nigeria can kill the whole ECOWAS economically.

I cant figure it out, if this your reply is praising or ridiculing MBuhari....

Oga na Ghana I dey type from and Naija currency strong pass their own hands down.

Removing zeros from s currency does not make it strong. It rather weakens its purchasing power. This Is why 50 cedis cannot even buy anything here compared to what 4k can buy which is the equivalent of 50 CEDIs in naira.

Don't mention cedi near naira again abeg you

Hmm... I heard same thing. It’s just that the Ghana Cardi seems confusing most times. I had the taught that the west African countries will adopt Naira as their major currency not creating a new one. They don’t seem to give Nigeria her due respect.

I think Nigeria must be very careful. The hurried adoption is extremely well calculated. With Nigerian borders closed, the signal is that Nigeria's foreign economic policies are no longer focused on Africa in general and West Africa in particular. With that, smaller ECOWAS countries would seek economic ties and protection elsewhere. Everyone needs assurance. Breaking the Anglophone West Africa into bits and pieces and not a bloc has always been France's main headache. Now that Nigeria has unwittingly offered the chance on a platter of gold, France has taken it. The adoption also solved the problem of Morocco's incursion into the territory West African territory because they'll never adopt Eco as their own currency.
The home truth is that France's continued relevance as superpower relies heavily on keeping Francophone Africa in perpetual neo-colonization by control 50% of their foreign reserves and holding the right of first vetting any major economic decisions in these countries, which comes handy in fulfilling their own economic obligations. Present French president interned in Nigeria for a while long time ago and understands the inner workings as shown by his last state visit. It was all in the attempt of solving the ever present problem that was Nigeria's attempt to unify West Africa into viable economic bloc, which will greatly affect France's own economy and status and might be the beginning of African renaissance that Ghaddafi was pushing for and made the superpowers led by U.S. eliminate him.
If not properly handled, Nigeria will lose out and our reliance on the unsustainable oil-fueled economy will become greater. You cannot isolate yourself just to prove you are bigger than the rest. You need allies. Not even U.S. or Russia has ever completely isolated themselves. Even North Korea has a loose alliance with Iran. Hopefully, Nigeria will outmanoeuvre France in the long run as you predicted, otherwise.....I sense trouble.

Nigeria is perceived as a fraudulent nation, hence adopting such a currency as Naira is a disaster for the West African region.

Culled and translated from a french website :

What is happening with the eco is that the heads of state of the ECOWAS have noted that this currency will have a flexible exchange rate regime. This means that countries like Ghana and Nigeria, which are used to this exchange rate regime, will be the locomotives of the eco. The specific problem of Nigeria is that it is never in the same phase of the economic cycle as the other countries of the ECOWAS, because it is an oil exporter, while the others are rather oil importers. What makes that there is always this reluctance compared to the optimality of the future monetary policy of the Cédéao space. And then there is a second thing that makes Nigeria often reluctant, is that it realizes that it is going to have to be the lender of last resort for the eco, since its GDP still represents 70% of that of the ECOWAS, with a population which is half of this sub-region. And so, it is not always certain that Nigeria is ready to play this role of lender of last resort, with what that implies in terms of budgetary solidarity and the transfer of resources to smaller economies.

A few days ago, the Nigerian Minister of Finance said that the announced deadline for the birth of the eco in 2020 would not be met, because all the convergence criteria are practically met by only one of the 15 member countries of ECOWAS: Togo. What is your comment?

The Ghanaian cedi is only confusing to Ghanaians but to Nigerians we take advantage of their currency. We understand it better than they do and this is why we rise quickly here and faster than they do

Because their money Is so weak we can make it quickly and save it back home in Naija quickly too. That is the only advantage. For them they cannot save it outside Ghana except if they have a foreign account so most of them are impoverished due to this fact that their currency is weak and the purchasing power weak as well.

Enter their markets and you will see produce for the poor everywhere just so the poor can afford to buy something and this is done so the market people too would not starve. After all if dem no sell wetin dem go chop

The Ghanaian response shows the application of tact more so than the one from Nigeria.

You cannot play big brother in a detached reality. Someone else is sure to fill that void.

For those referencing Brexit, they know next to nothing about the motives of the Brexit party. Nothing economical about the whole charade as some wrongly assume.

Na to open your head put intelligence inside remain because one little sense no dey for Inside.

The Ghanaian currency Is a false one. A farcade. You claim it is 5.7 cedi to a dollar when in reality if the zeros were not removed it would have been 570 cedis to a dollar because they removed 2 zeros. This means the real value remains at 570 cedis to a dollar despite the paper money saying 5.7 cedis to a dollar.

This is why this paper value can never defeat the real value and it explains why their purchasing power is very week and as good as useless
