BusinessRe: CBN To Resume Weekly FX Interventions Through BDCs by Badgers14: 3:12pm On Feb 26, 2024
ITbomb:
But wetin Nigerians dey use dollars do inside Nigeria?
FG and CBN know the right thing to do but they won't do it.

Why can't people just go to their banks and effect a wire transfer to their kids school abroad or pay their supplier in China??

Rather the system wants to fleece the populace by telling them to go and buy dollar from bdc and come and pay to the bank.. it's not like the bank will carry the dollar and deposit to bank of India or bank of england.. the transaction is still done electronically..

So why not the bank conduct the transaction electronically from the get go??

No one needs 8 PHD degrees from Harvard to fix this issue..

The solution is there but because of corruption and greediness, they don't want to implement it.

She didn't drop the name. It is just going to be her work name.

Nicholas Cage did the same thing because he wanted to be recognised in the industry by merit, and not by family connections to F.F Coppola. Malia wants to be recognised through the works of her own hands and not because she is related to a famous father.

People are already drinking pandol for someone's headache.

She just wanted to create a path for herself. The name "Obama" does come with its own pressure. Many people that didn't like her fathers politically views might take their frustrations on her..

Someway somehow, I think you should be more worried about the "originality" of the liquid content of the bottle than the price for a potential poison you paid for with your hard-earned 5k.
Supposedly "imported wine" that is sold for N5k should have been the first red flag.

N5k = $3.

BusinessRe: Binance Confirms Working With Tinubu Govt To Block Dollar-naira Exchange by Badgers14: 1:43pm On Feb 22, 2024
Front0lane:
As strong n stable as the Rand is against the dollar you will bever see anybody in SA with dollar. Their bank do not have or allow dorm acct in any currency.

I wonder what intelligence Tinubu/Cardoso need to close all foreign currency domicile acct n make them illegal with the dollar situation in Nigeria. Nigerians do not need dorm account to pay fees abroad, all you need is have your bank do the transaction on your behalf once you pay the equivalent that is how I transfered fund from SA to USA n that is how I was paid when receiving money from the USA in SA.

I wonder why dollar should be made an alternative legal tender in Nigeria with the foolish CBN governor acting like a novice.
I have been saying this for years..
We all know the problem of our country but the powers that be don't want to fix.

Why arresting BDC folks in the street.. that doesn't stop anything..

Most people that deal with BDC have their contact and sometimes their transactions are done inside the bank if the volume is big.

If naira is solely utilized in Nigeria.. if people can just walk inside their bank and effect a wire at an official rate, who would patronize the BDC? No one would tell them to close shop .. they would close their shops by themselves

With his pictures all over the net, his name and phone number..

How come the police haven't swooped in yet and pick him up?

What's the essence of NIN?

Or are they waiting for streets to pick him up and administer jungle justice?

I don't usually cheer for jungle justice but if this guy is guilty of the numerous rapes, robberies , stealing etc as accused, well then.. he deserves it!

BusinessRe: Why Exactly Is The Cement Price Going Up This Way? by Badgers14: 6:02pm On Feb 17, 2024
MASTERCHIEF0847:
Because in Nigeria anything goes. I guess you have not heard of consultants in NNPC and CBN earning in dollars before. Amosun earned same as a consultant under Diezani, it is illegal but it happens in Nigeria.
Your last question is actually dumb, Nigeria as a country has it's reserves in dollars because the naira is barely worth the paper it is printed on.
The bolded is what my post is trying to highlight .

In your last sentence. You tried to mock "yourself" but ended up ridiculing yourself.

The bottom line is, naira is the official currency of Nigeria and anyone working or doing business in Nigeria should be conducting that business in the official currency which is NAIRA.
BusinessRe: Why Exactly Is The Cement Price Going Up This Way? by Badgers14: 11:35am On Feb 17, 2024
MASTERCHIEF0847:
So cost of production has remained the same for cement manufacturers while everything else is on the increase?
Make una dey use una brain before making a comment abeg.
Cement production involves mining with heavy equipment that can only be imported as well as it's spare parts and paid for in dollars,those responsible for repairs are also expatriates who will not be paid in naira, add cost of diesel for running the factory at over 1000 naira per liter as well as importing gypsum and others then you will understand. Pay a visit to the quarry of any cement manufacturer then you will understand cement production is capital intensive.
Why would anyone working in Nigeria be paid in foreign currency?

Do Nigerias working in US paid in naira or Euro?

Are expatriate working in UK paid in dollars or yen?

As much as USdollar is popular, you can't use it in UK, Germany etc.
