1 USD exchanged for USD181 yesterday in the Ikeja area; this price is for when you sell; there was an exchange for N182.5. It's no use giving out misleading information here; the N192 figure was misleading. . |

Tha_dude: There's really no joy in this. When inflation hits the roof and breaks through it, and you fx exchanges for more naira, it's only much of a compensation; spending the money in Naija should work out roughly to the same outcome; the fx market and forces of exchange 'protects' the value of your fx; but the real sufferers are those earning money in Naira whose salary increase cannot keep up with the inflation; this class includes most honest, hardworking Nigerians. Of course, the politicians in government are excluded, since they always have ways of padding their fat salaries and allowances. It is impossible to sustain this model for a long time. This is really sad for 'ordinary' Nigerians. . |

You talk sense my brother. I really pity those hard working honest Nigerians. their salary can never catch up. But the business men will push up prices to still make profit. it will not be easy for them as well though. Fake china products will be the order of the day. I pity my people ooooo |

You must have to belong to any of the category below: 1. If you are travelling and wanting to purchase a BTA/PTA - International passport , visas, flight ticket under this category you are allowed to purchase up to a maximum of $4,000(PTA) or $5000(BTA). You might not get it immediately you pop into the bank, sometimes the banks might have to bid on your behalf. Say 3 days to a week in most cases. 2. You are a prospective student - and wanting to purchase dollars to pay your school fees - you must show evidence of your offer at the institution and evidence of your qualification to study. (in most cases the bank might offer to send wire the money on ur behalf) So you might not get the dollars physically, but you would be paying your sch. fees at that official exchange rate. 3. You are a business man purchasing dollars for the purpose of importing goods - Evidence of Form 'M', evidence of registered firm, and some other docs the bank might require inline with CBN guildline. For further info, walk into the bank where you intend to purchase the dollars, request for the forex dept. tell them what you want to do with the dollars and they will inform you on what category you fit in and the required documents to enable you make the purchase. Most bank staff might tend to be snubbish and give u a "not available answer" but inform them you are not requesting it right a way that you are requesting for a bid tender through them to the CBN. Any of the following banks are allowed to bid on behalf of purchasing customers Afribank Nigeria Plc Diamond Bank Plc Fidelity Bank Plc First Bank Nigeria Plc First Inland Bank Plc Guaranty Trust Bank Plc Oceanic Bank Plc Skye Bank Plc United Bank for Africa Plc Union Bank Nigeria Plc Wema Bank Plc Zenith Bank Plc Spring Bank Plc EcoBank Plc 2 Likes |

I made a call to Yusuf from the UK as people in Naija are not forth coming on the exchange rates. To sell : £ = 272 $ = 179 |
Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by Nimshi: 11:32am On May 21, 2009 |
USD sold at N180.50 in the Ikeja axis yesterday; this most probably isn't a best price, but all generally below N181. BAC: of course, N179 isn't far off, but with oil marketers getting back on importation, the naira should fall some. No definite price for today, but one shouldn't be negotiating for less than N181. Just to add: the Bureaux de Change rates aren't far off, but slightly lower. Cheers. |
Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by BAC: 2:17pm On May 21, 2009 |
Nimshi: Thanks for your view. This place was getting too quiet and those of us abroad need these info regularly. |

Hi, i'm going to Lagos in august and was wondering if anybody had an idea how the market for the dollar will be then. Will it go down or up? Is it a good idea to change dollars to Naira now because the rates are high at the moment? |
Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by Nimshi: 5:16pm On May 21, 2009 |
That's an interesting question. Predicting the future is fraught with difficulties. But, it isn't an impossible task - in this context - within a reasonable margin of error. The official rate of exchange has varied somewhere between 140 and 154 this year; you could almost track that with oil price movements and the variation amongst major currencies (USD, EURO, GBP); there's data available for these, but seldom do we have the market & Bureaux de Change (BDC) data in a systematic way. . . Here's a rule-of-thumb I've found useful: we know the market rate got a ceiling of about N190, and is currently hovering around N180, which appears 'stable' based on current realities; one could plan with that: watch the trend as things are, have an "exit" point, and hopefully, you won't have to be stuck when you actually need the money. If you want to dig dirty, use a resource like: http://forecasts.org/pound.htm along with oil price data and current market/BDC rates to get a feel. It's not much science, and: caveat emptor. . |
Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by angel72(f): 5:51pm On May 21, 2009 |
Thanks Nimshi, i had in mind already that it will go down, so i was thinking that i would exchange half the money i want to use already next month and will change the rest when i get down there, |
Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by Thadude(m): 6:15pm On May 21, 2009 |

Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by dvonne(f): 1:07pm On May 27, 2009 |
Oba a so ro ma ye , thank you lord! up up naira |
Re: How Much Did You Exchange The Dollar For Today? by Nimshi: 4:03pm On May 27, 2009 |
Yeah, up, up Naira. But, that's mostly because: "up, up, Oil Price". And, of course, that's because: "Up, Up, Niger Delta" Just so we put it all in context. The same lazy/crazy Nigerian government is busy decimating the Niger Delta: its peoples and the the land. Ok, enough. Today in the Ikeja area, you would get N167 for your dollar. This is 'fantastic', considering the price last week or so. |
