This is how someone who speculates with the dollar thinks.

He buys the dollars hoping that it will appreciate against the Naira. It does in fact appreciate against the Naira, which is gain for the person.

After the gain, you expect this person not to complain because of the gain but this is not the case.

Why is this person still angry about the exchange rate after gaining from speculating?

It is simple. This person expects that the prices of products and services he or she expects to spend the forex gain on to remain the same but it can’t hence the angst.

I wish a massive dollar inflow will occur(like, let dangote refinery start producing petroleum products), so that the economic saboteurs will lose their money. Nonsense and speculation!

Oga keep quiet abeg.

How many Nigerian's can afford to eat let alone buy dollar..

It's a business only a very small fraction of Nigerian can afford.

Give good governance and all of these won't be a problem.

If it were a non Hausa, non Yoruba president, I know the amount of Ojota protests that will be going on in South West by now.

Keeping the dollar as how
Your premise is wrong, how many of us sef don hold any dollar for hand, not to talk of hoarding.
You no even mention roundtriping.

I love this smart analysis from the OP.

The ambivalence from those buying this dollars is quite puzzling.

We are just surrounded by fools in this country can't wait till Friday.

Can an average Nigeria who can't eat 3 Square meal buy Dollars to hoard?

Tell your national assembly that spend $160m for suv and the polificians doing round-triping.

I'm sure the fellow writing all this rubbish nova even hold Dollar for hand.

I don't owe you a revelation of who I voted for. One thing I'm sure about right now is that whether you voted Obi, Kwankwaso, Atiku or even Tinubu... Right now, we are all seeing this shege together!!! And yes, I'm still in severe pains (even though I can still fill my tank and afford my needs). I wish I don't have to go through so much to meet my daily needs. Hence my lamentations

I'm staying afloat at the moment. I don't know how long I can remain afloat if things don't improve!!! I bought 50kg of Big Bull rice on 31st of May for 39k. It finished 2 weeks ago, and I had to buy another one. Same Big Bull, but I paid 57k for the same 50kg bag. 18k added within 4months? Let's not talk about fuel... 40k per month to 135k for a month How long can i sustain this? Redmi note 12 pro I bought in June for 175k is currently over 260k!!! I wanted to buy another one (for wifey)... But who gimme mind?

Tell me who you voted for without telling me 😆 🤣 😂, it's ook, hopefully this administration figures something out, I have parents and friends back home and they tell me things are red, imagine the poor vulnerable ones with kids, pragmatic solution now or the center may no longer hold soon.

Make una quick this speculators narrative. If you are still saving your earnings in Naira, you are on your own. Let's assume you had N2m in your account on May 29, 2023, you left it in the bank, the current value would be $1526.73.
Take another smart guy who withdrew his own N2m on May 30 and bought $ at N488, his $4000 would still be there, with his value intact.

If Tinubu borrows $20b to crash $ to say N1000 ( which is not possible though), you will be holding your N2m but guess what, your friend would be holding N4m. He still has a higher purchasing power than you.

If I told you voted Obi, you wouldn't still believe me. Truth is- all middle-class and low class Nigerians are currently seeing shege; irrespective of who we voted for. I'm complaining because I'm the one wearing the shoe, and I know where it hurts
