CBN should abolish the 2 rates and then make the yuan directly available to stabilise the system.

PROBLEMS OF THIS DOLLAR TO NAIRA are:
-Incompetent politicians ruling Nigeria that destroy the economy.

-Bad leadership of CBN that are lost with ideas. They keep doing different policies and non is working. And I don't know why they can't sanction Banks too who are using parralelll rate to determine their bank rate, when official rate is constant.

-Greedy BDC/speculators/ Abokifx that are making millions of naira every day, just to get dollar at a good rate, hoard it, and create scarcity, then increase the value. And make aboki to publish it, then all Nigeria use it as new rate.

SOLUTION TO THIS DOLLAR TO NAIRA are:
- Let any registered business owner be able to get Dollar from any Bank, so parallel market won't have much effect again. It can even be certain amount per month.

-Let China Yuan be in our foreign reserve, so Nigerians can send yuan to China, bypassing the dollar that is not useful for Nigeria and China. Since 70% of importation is from China.

-CBN should have a functional website that everyone can check, than relying on site like Aboki that can be compromised by speculators for their own gain.


Your 2nd point make sense die
But the problem I have is that many Nigerian travel to dollar dominated states and this invariably affects dollar too. What do you think

AbokiFX has very little influence to impact the freefall the naira is witnessing. It's likened to bLaming one particular Betting agency for the prediction of a football match- CBN should stop chasing shadows.

The FG should lead by example. If too many businesses are chasing the dollar at all cost what does the CBN except?


The FG should be honest with its diversification policy. For now it's a fraud

Check most vital sectors of the economy, they are headed by inexperienced northerners and corrupt proxy put their for political gains. The system was made to fail. They should stop deceiving gullible Nigerians.
For one, Emefele has headed CBN for almost 8 years and it's been one inflation after another. Isn't that a sign of incompetent?

Why do you think your simplistic idea isn't implemented yet?
Because there is shortage of dollar which makes CBN place a limit on the amount it sells.
When businessmen end up buying the balance they need from other sources, CBN starts crying "sabotage and greed".

If you own a business and the dollar you need monthly exceed what CBN can sell to you, what would you do?

The devaluation has only brought tears and sorrow since 2015 causing unbridled increment in prices of good and services causing the citizenry untold hardship. It has tragically been a travesty.


The solution to these madness is:

1. Start arresting bank MD and BDC operators and prosecute them for economic sabotage/treason.

2. Completely eliminate black market/BDC

3. Wage war against corruption, combat it the barest minimum.
The CBN and every concerned citizen must understand that the practice of leaders looting our common wealth and laundering the loot (forex) abroad has negative impact and dire consequences for the naira and the economy.

4. Little things/foxes they say spoil the vine. Little things like the High rate of japaing (migrating) abroad to USA & UK, leaders including ordinary people like civil servants sending their kids to study abroad and they themselves go for medical treatment for little health challenge like headache have significant negative impact on the value of the local currency. These things should be checked.

5. There should industrial revolution just like in China. High focus should be placed on relevant technical innovative education like engineering and ICT instead of bogus university education that is theoritical, study is historical in nature, lacks the ability to monetize the knowledge acquired.

6. In fact naija should just copy what China did to develop.

So now that Abokifx has been shutdown, what’s the exchange rate?

Next thing, they will come after the P2P traders on crypto platforms and accuse them of currency manipulation because P2P rates is not determined by Abokifx… or is it?

The dollar is not available in the banks for easy access. There is a short fall in supply that cannot meet the demand.

CBN is just being petty. If you do not want aboki to sell $, start arresting them. How do they still get $ they change. Make it that only banks can give it out. So, why this noise? We know the right thing to do in Nigeria.

AbokiFX has told the governor the truth he needs to hear again which he already knows too. CBN gov is just playing around a game set up by his masters. You know where they are in open markets. You can easily clamp them down. They operate easily there. AbokiFx even told him he asks process in streets. We know the streets. Theybdo it openly. CBN cannot say it doesnt know where they are. Sp, why the useless noise?

Official rate if you have not exceeded your transaction limit and you are using naira account. But the moment you exceed your transaction limit for foreign transactions with naira account, you will not have access to official rate. If you are using a domiciliary account, you can pay any amount with official rate. But you know to get dollars to fund your account is mostly through BDC . That's where the problem will come from.

Even if he never exceed quota, na which bank wan sell dollar give the guy to buy something online? He is on along thing..lol

To submit his application, he needs to open a Form m and insurance, subject to CBN and customs approval. Then after he can fill Form Q forms and start the long wait for dollar at official rate ... he go wait tire!
