Yorubas are the ones celebrating Dangote and claiming that Igbos hate the North. Shallow minded people
At least Yorubas are detribalised enough to celebrate dangote who isn’t a yoruba. But Ibos are the worst tribal bigots in Nigerias history

Are you for real?

Didn't the cost of things increased in Nigeria??

Can you still use 100 naira now to purchase the same goods you bought with 100naira a few weeks ago?

Why are you guys this hypocritical? Just because your tribe or religious man is the one in power? Nawaoo

If you are from the SS, your foredaddies in 1967 gave the oil wealth of the SS and political power to the north from where the Dangotes and Rabius profited. 1967 was when some misguided people from the SS cut out the SS from Biafra. That greatly led to collapse of the new country which would have been like Dubai before now.

I am struggling to understand you. Does it mean Biafra now is like Dubai, or fails to be because the SS broke away from them?

Does it mean you hoped to use the resources of one region to turn the entire nation to be like Dubai?

I think it's good that they broke out, else the suppression would have been unimaginable.

Pls who knows when all these Tinubu achievements will start positively reflecting on the cost of living & improve the Standard of living of the average Nigerian.
Tinubu hasn’t achieved anything. The media is making you to feel like he has.
Standard of living doesn’t lie. When a leader makes a good decision, it will reflect.
So far, things are getting worse.

Lemme attempt to educate you a bit. Dangote and Rabiu have lost nothing literally. Before now their wealth was calculated from naira to dollar using 460 naira exchange, but now it has been re-based to 680 naira. It means every Nigerian has lost money including Tinubu if you're to re-calculate their wealth now in dollars.


Na only you and like two persons make sense.

The true picture is, everybody has lost money, the problem with Nairaland is there are too much of poor people commenting, poor people that are still spoon feed, so they don't even know basic Economics.

Official rate before was 460 to a Dollar, before now, Dangote and Bua would buy 1000usd for 460k, now they will have to buy 1000usd with 700k or so, so for every 1000usd they buy now, they lost 140k, Automatically things would start shooting up. Cbn is no more defending the Naira with Dollar, means Dollar would be scare, basic rule of life, whatsoever that is scare would be expensive, because you have too many people chasing it, if too many guys dey pursue one fine girl, the girl value go HIGH, She fit start to dey charge 500K to only see pant, but if guys nor dey pursue the babe, she go charge like 2k make you bang her, because her pussy got know value.

Dangote done lose money. Your 500k in your account done lose value because you will have to add 200k to the 500k before you can get 1000usd. Your money would not lose value if your money is in $$$.

90% of the entire SE and SS regions have crude oil and gas deposits or either of each.
Pollution and soil erosion ravage the region due to oil exploitation. People like you tell them go back to your erosion ravaged East.

There is nothing bad in monopolies, go and check the economic history of the United States, you are bound to see that in a capitalist economy. There is free enterprise in the Nigerian economy. You can also become Dangote if you chose to, it is all in your mindset and the way you are brought up.

Petrol importers were getting dollars at N460 at the CBN window. Now that the exchange rate has been merged, petrol importers will be getting dollars between N640 -N750. This means that prices of things will further increase, thus reducing the value of the Naira in every Nigerian's bank account.

Guy meet me for Iya basira spot by 9pm tomorrow make I buy you pepper soup. E b like say na only you go school here, with like just few people like 4 people. This is the simplest fact, Nairaland name should be changed to POORLAND.COM. We have too much uneducated people here, just simple thing you guys don't know everybody money done devalue? Things would start going up for now, BUT MAY BE LATER YEARS, MAY BE OHH, THINGS GO COME DEY COME DOWN. Everybody money done then change...... Your Naira in the bank and your Naira under your bed is devalued.

you very wrong.. Nothing reduced in your own money value because you don't have access to the CBN Window Dangote and Samad has access to 99.5% of Nigerians were sourcing their own money from the black market.. So no change in value oga.

The person giving you likes na Olodo. Before you have 465k in your bank acc, and that 465k is 1000usd. After floating the dollar, your 465k can't purchase 1000usd, now you have to add like 140k to make it 700k before you can purchase 1000usd. Tell me, your 450k reduce in value or appreciate in value?

Dem say go school, you say na scam. grin

What the report is saying in other words is that every asset and income of these two is based on naira, the calculation of their assets by Forbes and Bloomberg however is done in USD - meaning whenever their assets are to be quoted in USD, the value is exchanged with the prevailing naira-dollar rate.

Other words, you have $1000 before 2019 when naira was say 500, this makes the value of your wealth N500,000. Now naira is 1000/$, this makes the value of your $1000 N1,000,000 without you doing anything to increase or decrease it.

Go school.

Some people don't get the picture. It means naira is losing value.

That 500,000 naira in your account on May 29th this year is now worth around 300,000 naira and would reduce further.

If you think your own value has not reduced too, then you have been deceived.

The Naira in your account is now at its real value. We will now have a true reflection of Nigeria GDP and potential

Olodo this might also be the end of you. If lots like you dont know that you also lost alot of money you saved under your bed or in your bank account, then i do not know how to explain to you any further. People like you are truly the main problem of this country.
Go and dismantle them na and watch your country slide into oblivion of poverty. It is the likes of who who keeps blaming your rich uncle has used your rotten destiny to make money. Destiny that you and your papa nor fit use.

So where are you now? Since you have chosen to run to Dubai, or God knows where, who will then develop the region for you?

Some states in the region have decided to take their eyes off the oil. Wake up! They are leaving you behind gradually.

What do you do with the allocation you have been collecting every month? If the entire wealth of the nation is handed to you, it will end in your pocket. No single road is your state will be like Dubai"s.

Any state that wants to thrive can thrive, even better without oil.

Nothing is correct Mr
No bank will give you Dollars at official rate
You need to calculate your money based on the black market rate which means if the dollar 💵 appreciate or depreciate it’s gonna depends how much you are holding if you must calculate in $
Many people including me lost money because dollar come down a little bit which means I bought dollars at 760/$ before now the money come down to $700
Do the calculations assuming I have billions of dollars
