All countries are using the dollar as reserve because they made an agreement. It's white man trick to keep their Economy strong.
Some countries aren't comfortable with that mainly China and Russia, and that a reason why the BRICS was introduced to break the hegemony of the USA through the dollars.

Africa would have been the greatest continent in the world if we had our currency backed by the vast natural resources in the land. Gaddafi tried to do it that was why he was eliminated.

USA as a reserve for trade all over the world is just systematic slavery. Down with that crap.

Oh I understand the reason for your illogical statement, because you are an APC member, so because I should look into the future, Naira should keep depreciating against the dollar.
You're comfortable with a minority winning while the majority is in penury, it will never be well with those that Harbour such mindset.

Please gerrout, Naira is deprecating Indeed, what are you doing to help defend the Naira, what commodity did you export, or service did you render to bring forex into Nigeria?

Celebrating a man who met dollar at N700 (after the heavy heap of curses on Buhari for bringing it this high from less than N200) and bringing it to N1k+ as the greatest Nigerian President is the best joke of 2024 grin grin grin grin




🀣🀣🀣 The foolishness is beyond me. What's crazy is Tinubu can never bring the naira to be N700 cos the gap between USA and Nigeria has been further widened since Buhari.

There hasn't been any effort put towards the development of Nigeria, it's all been investment and investment doesn't actually give value to the country, only to the investors.

So, for Tinubu 2nd term, all he has to say is "I revalued the naira" around 900/$ and some will fall for it.

Naira is basically reverting back to where Buhari left it, simply because Tinubu has ended his so called floating of the Naira.

CBN is supplying USD and fixing the price via the price at which they sell to BDCs etc. Hence naira is no longer floating viz a viz no longer under free.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I'm sorry I know you didn't quote me but I just had to intervene. An elder cannot be in the market and see a baby's neck in an uncomfortable position and look away.

That other guy is absolutely correct. Quick Economics -- the one true process that can strengthen the naira against the dollar is development. The question is, is the Nigerian government developing the people?
(1) When the Nigerian government develops the children, it means the kids get the best schools in the world and that brings foreigner's kids who have to look for naira.
(2) When the Nigerian govt wants to develop its people's quality of life, the best hospitals will be built for them and docs and again foreigners troop in.
(3) Again, when the govt wants to develop it's people, it'll provide easily accessible loans for even poor people, for small scale refineries and those kids you see building funny looking cardboard cars to engage in business to tackle local challenges in which the best idea gets to bring in Forex.

In this way, Nigeria will never be dependent on the dollar.

But what your govt does is bring in investment. What is investment? Put small in Nigeria and take plenty out of Nigeria. It'll never be enough.

Follow MOP centre on social media so we can liberate Nigeria and quit being dependent on the dollar.

Partner it wasn't an agreement it was based on trust. China tried to impose Yuan that didn't work out because they weren't transparent regarding what was going on with their economy. The US is an open society which is why other countries develop confidence in their economy.

Which mess? From obj to gej,everybody depreciated naira and prices.nobody ever made it appreciate.gej took it from 120-250.as it stands,it will be 700 before december.for the first time,parallel market is lower than official market.up tinubu.
Tinubu is defending the naira sensibly not foolishly like emefiele
That doesn't address my point. It was same tinubu who was campaigning for Buhari in 2015 and said 250 naira to 1 dollar was very bad. Under his watch as the national leader of the same party, naira kept hitting the rock. He advised buhari to print more naira and it added to the worthless status of the naira. He came and floated it and naira kept falling until it hit almost 1,800. Now it's 1200 and you're jubioating, something he contributed hugely to its destruction? Smh

Why is he rescuing the naira after he had acussed same party man (buhari) of doing same? Nigeria get problem no be small. And you guys are saying Nigeria should develop with psychophants like you at work? What a joke

Be careful what you wish for? Do you know that there are more dollars in circulation in the rest of the world than the actual amount within the USA. Dollar is the most trusted currency in the world, why? because it is backed by the full faith of the US government. Even China, and Russia maintain their reserves in Dollar. Enough said.

You make a good point. However the USA government is seriously undermining their economy with financial recklessness. Overspending and borrowing, pandering to every interest group with government money.

The dollar is on borrowed time, so to speak.

Nigeria is much worse than the USA in every way, sure Naira is worse than dollar, but the dollar itself isn't as good as it used to be. It's a really sad situation we have here.

Again I understand you, I'm trying to impart some perspective. Have a good day.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Na Lie.
It's basically backed by military might.
How much is your country owing the Paris club? If they call for that loan because you are a threat, they have themilitart might to seize any of your national assets, including the ones in your own land. And including you, as they did Gaddafi.

This is the first consideration for all countries, followed by economic might, which means that USA can find a convenient reason to place economic sanctions on you once they consider you a threat. And all countries that want to continue doing business with USA will dutifully observe the sanctions, what ever the reason. That's where Iran is today, they can't even sell their own oil freely.

That Tom is a bully, and Tom says he is the leader, so no one wants to challenge Tom. Hence, every one says Tom is the leaders, look he so strong and Reliable, and handsome - is a social effect of being dominated, and is akin to saying Dollar is so reliable and transparent. Transparent, as if USA announces whenever they print more paper money at the expense of everyother country.

No, very wrong.
The Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944 chose the USD as a global reserve and it's backed by Gold.
China can't just go all out and decide to use it's currency as reserve, it needs to do international trade with countries that deal in USD.

There's no international demand for Yuan, serious mega framework has to be put in place for that to even be conceivable. Reason why the BRICS hasn't kicked off yet.
