Hi Cana882, yes I have a broad background in Economics having worked in the banking sector for over 20 years, though my main specialty ( what I lecture|) is strategic management.

Firstly I agree with a lot of what she mentions and she has a very strong point and some of them effect the Naira's decline, but thats not he main reason. let me elaborate. Apologies beforehand for the long write up.

In short there 3 main things that cause a currency to depreciate in the long term: global situation, eco situation and monetarty.

Global, the overall global situation, which we are seeing now with China's growth slowing down, the EU not being able to really get the economic ball moving. Though these are $ based, our biggest connection to the $ is Oil prices, so you see where Im going.

eco situation, simply said when the exports of a country decline (in our case mainly oil), the value of the currency will decline, BASIC ECONOMICS. Also when you have a trade deficit, which we have because as she rightfully pointed out we import everything. Our imports outweigh what we export.

monetary, central bank policies and regulations. You see in Nigeria the CB president is politically appointed, though he shouldn't be. His job is quite clear, protect the value and credence of the national currency. But sadly in our case, their polices are done to support who put them their. Simple example, every economists worth his two cents knows WE NEED TO FREE FLOAT THE NAIRA. What we are doing know is simply subsidizing the fixed rate, which we cant keep up as our dollar reserves are low. But to say such would crush Buhari since he told everyone during the campaign he would bring the exchange rate down (one of the most ludicrous statements I have EVER heard in my life, mind you I have nothing against Buhari and we are better off with him, since if Jonathan were still in power now it would have been worse).

In the short term Economic events and Political issues (ie a new government who is seen as not stable) can also effect the currency. These are playing a smaller role.

We are indeed in a lot of trouble economically and Nigeria is caught in a perfect storm, which will wreck havoc the coming years. I estimated what I thought the rate would be the coming year, which I think will be around 425 :

if you have any further questions, please dont hesitate to ask.

Your points are well noted. Your 20 years experience should come in handy.

I will only elaborate on the Foreign Exchange and Free Float. The CBN will actually tell you that we run a Free Float Forex System or Hybrid (since the CBN still holds an "official rate" at N199/$1. They will claim that 70% or more of our Forex transactions occur in the parallel market (free float). Most of us that need forex cannot and shouldn't access the N199 rate which is exclusive for some critical projects or needs. (Of course we all know this is not working).

The CBN perspective is this, and they have maintained this since 1986. CBN will provide the dollars at N199 for "Priority/Critical public sector transactions" such as Manufacturing, Debt Servicing, Joint Venture Cash Calls, Infrastructure Development, Embassies/High Commissions etc. This is basically a subsidy to these "priority sectors". Though, in the 1986 CBN policy, the priority sectors were also made to cover BTA, PTA, Medical bills, Mortgage repayment, School fees, Utility bills, Life insurance for those that have transactions abroad. In my opinion, these last segment should buy at open market rate/ parallel. The idea by CBN is that those who access USD at N199 should be few. Majority of Nigerians should buy at parallel market rates.

Reference:
What is more shocking reading through the first page responses is that most folks are surprised, enlightened, and 'eye-opened' by this. What is more saddened is that we are building a country full of people than know next to nothing about what affects them so badly on a day to day basis. Our literacy and information levels are just too low to sustain development.

Poster, once more your topic is heavy on history but very lean on causatives. Thought you will rather dwell on the 'why's' and 'how's' we got to this state so that we can collectively stop digging.

You are absolutely right. This should be basic knowledge for every one. We need to get everyone sound knowledge of Economics, Politics, Budget etc at least to be able to question Government Authority intelligently. Like what BudgIT is doing. We dont have any TV/Radio programme that discusses the technicalities of the Economy (commodities, fuel price, exchange rate, unemployment, inflation, interest rate etc) and how these factors affect our daily lives. The closest i have found is on Smooth FM 98.1 Business Express (6.45am - 7.00am). I have learnt alot on the programme even though its just for 15mins Monday to Friday.

duni04:
I hate the unnecessary whinning in this article. See as a consumer, I won't patronise made in Nigeria textiles because they are of low quality and they are very scarce. As a producer I won't manufacture textiles in Nigeria because there's no power and the machinery to produce the textiles has to be imported at the current exchange rate and without access to credit facilities from banks. If we want a buoyant textile industry, we should give the manufacturers power and access to cheap credit. We should give the consumers reasons to purchase locally made textiles by improving on the quality of our local production, increasing the duty on Imported textiles and empowering the Customs to do their job and arrest smugglers.
Chikena!
And Mr OP, the exchange rate is not a means of measuring the buoyancy of a country or its economy. You should check how much a dollar exchanges for the Japanese yen. A weaker Naira is even an incentive to exporters as long as we reign in inflation. You can't be advocating for increased export oriented local production and a stronger Naira. Doesn't make sense.
All these emotion laden write ups will do us no good. Enough of the noise making already!

You are right. Nigerian products are of lower quality than foreign products. I think that is clear. However, If we dont DELIBERATELY patronise them, they wont get any better. You are not buying Nigerian products because they are the best, you are buying because you know this will create employment opportunity for someone, increase the standard of living of your country men, reduce crime rate, increase tax revenue to government, improve the economy etc (you get my drift). Basically be patriotic even if you think their is little to be Patriotic for.

Anything you buy a foreign product, you create jobs in tht country, you improve the standard of living there and help tht country with its development. Next thing you know, we all want to move to Europe or USA.

You are right with regards the challenges in the textile industry as is the case with all our manufacturing sector. Power, credit facility etc.

bookface:
Hmm...

Let's see how this works out.

Ban everything - then everything becomes incredibly more expensive! Think about that for a second. The current Ban is pushing inflation to crazy levels already. How would you feel if you need to buy a used laptop at 1 million naira?


There are no easy solutions. But the current approach is worse!

Emefiele should take the following steps.

First, allow a modest devalution of the naira. ---- This should allow the foreign portfolio flows that we urgently need. It would bolster the government coffers and put an end to depletion of the foreign reserve

Second, given that the step above will surely lead to an increase in inflation, he should immediately accompany it with an increase in interest rates

Third, fiscal consolidation is required in non productive sectors - cutting down salaries, laying of non productive workers etc - and simultaneously boost spending in productive sectors - like infrastructure, and agriculture.


The current approach of banning imports and drawing down on foreign reserve seems to rely on hope - hope that one day oil prices may recover. This may well be the case, but who knows? What if it is not? Then what? we draw down on the last bit of foreign reserves and we start borrowing money at incredibly high interest rates.

Let me try to allay some of your fears and answer some of your questions/worries.

Banning is still the best option for us. That is, banning any item that we have RAW MATERIALS to PRODUCE like Sugar, toothpick, fish, chicken, cement, tiles, steel and iron, furniture, clothing and the list goes on and on as well as ban on import of refined oil. (Read Micheal Porter - Law of Comparative Advantage of Nations)

Yes, in the immediately term prices will rise as more money chase fewer goods. But i trust Nigerians, that automatically creates a huge business opportunity for smart entrepreneurs to start their own biz in the country to fill the immediate needs. This creates employment opportunity for the youths and over time lower prices. The simple economics here is that, a population of 180 million people cannot sustain importation of their basic needs. Forex will go off the charts. We MUST at least cater for 150 million people ourselves even if we eventually import for the rest of the 30 million people. (We have to produce more than we import). Forget export for now, just concentrate on serving local demand.

Devaluation does not serve us any purpose. If we dont reverse our Import/Mono economy status we will continue to devaluate forever. I dont bother myself on whether we should devaluate or not. I worry about whether we are reversing our massive import bill.

CBN Governor cannot increase interest rate at this time. There is already tightening of the business environment. CBN reduced MPR from 13% to 11% just to stimulate consumer spending. Increase in interest rate will further slow down the economy.

On the foreign reserve issue, CBN should immediately stop funding BDCs, School fees, Medical bills, BTA, PTA, Pilgrims etc that use up the vital forex reserve at N199/$1. The forex should be used for only critical government needs like loan repayment, financing rail, road, bridge, dam, power projects, airport projects, and supporting local manufacturers. All other users should source their forex from parallel market at N305.

Dear all,

So programming on this game has commenced in earnest. We are hoping to develop a Nigerian run game similar to subway surfers. We have been at it for some months now. Though progress has been slow, the game is finally coming together. We plan to release the game first quarter next year.

Will provide further updates as we get closer to the launch date.

hello.

i have done further research and found out that the game can be built by one person using a game engine called unity3D. that was what the two original designers of subway surfers used.

Does anyone have experience using this software. you can download free at unity3d.com

lordZOUGA:
I don't think Subway Surfers was created by one programmer.

okay. so what is required. how many programmers. what skill sets. leave out the designs and colours. am more interested in someone thta can write a 3d program like tht. note that subway surfers is essentially 2d design to look 3d. you can only move up. left. right. down. it is actually the screen tht moves towards you.

Dear all.

i have been following the programming section looking for very good android programmers. some of the programs i have seen are not too encouraging.

my request is: can anyone programme to the standard of an android game like subway surfers. my intention is to engage a programmer to design a game

if you can, kindly drop your email or phone number so i contact you to disucss further. note that i would request to see and test an andriod game that you must hav done in the past.

dhtml. pcguru etc. can anyone of you do this.

you should give the op airtime instead. its 12


quote author=Donniewestly post=36828632]The answer is 3....

B-Bracket
O-Of
D-Division
M-Multiplication
A-Addition
S-Subtraction

First of all, for an equation dat has no brackets, u introduce brackets from left to right.

3+3x3-3+3
Introduce brackets in two's
i.e (3+3) x (3-3) +3
The bracket just has two sets because d last "3" is a stand alone number, therefore there's no need for an additional bracket.
Applying BODMAS, Bracket comes first so we treat the brackets first.

i.e (6) x (0) + 3. Applying BODMAS again, Multiplication is next here
i.e (6 x 0) + 3
0 + 3= 3

Answer is 3

I promise you this is what OP is looking for....OP prove me wrong or my airtime.....08039121927[/quote]

you are wrong.
the minus sign goes ith the -3.


quote author=abeniagbon post=36828586]I got A1 in mathematics the equation is 3+3×3-3+3=

Now re- grouping

3+[3×3]-[3+3]=

3+9 - [3+3]

12 - 6

Ans is 6[/quote]

your sisters error is - 3 + 3 = 6
she ignored the minus sigb before the -3.

that should be - 3 + 3 = 0.

show it to her again.. she will remember the rule with minus signs

hollowpot15684:
That is what my younger sister just did always approach it d way she did.

because in bodmas. multiplication must come before addition or subtracttion.


so you must compute 3 * 3 First. thts the only thing

before doing your additions

frisky2good:
3+3=6
6×3=18
18-3=15
15+3=18

Why can't we just tow that simple line?

let me help

3 + 3 * 3 - 3 + 3

3 + 9 - 3 + 3

12 - 3 + 3

9 + 3

12

can you see the sequence

frisky2good:
I swear na 18 all my calculation dey end at. Don't know where people are getting 12 from.

answer 356

actually NO. i made the same mistake initially. addition and subtraction are treated equally.

so what you do is apply the left to right rule bearing in mind that thr minus is attached to the -3

so the answer is 12

coolviv:
BODMAS.... multiplication first, addition second, then subtraction last. The answer is 6.

yes. thats correct.

once you treat the 3 * 3.

every other one can be moved around.

you are right. its 12.



quote author=harsysky post=36827380]

Let's for a second forget about BODMAS. I'm not about to lecture you; I just want you to reason with me. The question is (3+3*3-3+3)? Every number there with either + or - can move around but the exemption is (+3*3) . One can't move the +3 from its coleague *3 , they have formed a bond ( I think that's even why mathematicians brought the idea of BODMAS but if we all understand how NUMBERS work, we don't need BODMAS) that can't be broken easily. So, what u do is since (+3*3) have formed a bond, you tackle it first which equates to (+9). Now, You have removed the only sign (*) that is a problem to both - and + . You can now move them around as u wish i.e 3+9-3+3 or 3-3+9+3 or 9-3+3+3 or -3+3+3+9 . All must give 12. Reason with me that's all I ask.[/quote]

good point. DAGR8

i missed out on the left tto right rule.

you are right..

at this point.

3 + 9 - 3 + 3. the left to right rule should apply.

ao the correct answer is 12.

dagr8:
@datanet
Even though A for addition is in PEMDAS/BODMAS before S for subtraction, these two operations also have the same priority. You look for these last two operations from left to right and complete them in that order.
I think we should all have a heart to learn...
It just hurts me seeing people doing something wrong and are bent on it

the computation

- 3 + 3 = 0 is correct only if this is the only equation we have

however the equation is

3 + 9 - 3 + 3 you must therefore apply BODMAS

hence. addition takes priority after you hav initially done 3 * 3.

hope this helps

petikal:
Please stop the silliness, the (-) came after the multiplication, and is a property of the value 3. Hence, the computation (-3)+3 is zero.

bodmas requires that you treat addition before subtraction.

so for a scenario of
3 + 9 - 3 + 3

only select numbers next to addition sign and ignore others.

so to make it clearly using parentheses it would be
(3 + 9) - (3 + 3)

those are the numbers closest to the addition sign before you ca then treat subtraction

hope this helps


quote author=petikal post=36826697]

So, by YOUR 3rd rule: 3 + 9 - 3 + 3 => 3+9 and 3+3??

Don't you see the mistake there? How did -3+3 become 3+3?

Again, when students make silly mistakes like this, they're to blame, not the academic system.[/quote]

yes. it does not affect the minus sign because the multiplication sign is between the 3 * 3. and multiplication comes first before addition and subtraction.

hope this helps


quote author=Kutunban post=36826374]

So when multiplying 3 by +3 it doesn't affect -3 is that what you are implying?

Read more on quadratics it will help you.[/quote]

the answer is still 6

minus sign is only impacted in a multiplication scenario.

like -3 * 3 = - 9

how when applying bodmas you only work with numbers next to the sign in question.

hope this helps.


quote author=otemanuduno post=36826385] YOUR TEACHER DID NOT TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THE MINUS SIGN OUT WHILE CALCULATING? YOU SAID 12-3+3=12-6? CHAI! NA WA FOR YOU O. DO YOU REMEMBER THE SET THEORY? WE USE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE 12-x+x+10-x=universal set. why didnt u get 12-2x+10-x=22-3x at the left hand side? I tot u normly say -x cancels +x and then get 22-x as ur left side part of the equation. so tel me why ur -3 didnt cancl +3 in 12-3+3 you got?[/quote]

you are not mathematically inclined too. the answer is 6. ask your younger ones at home


quote author=Tubexsms post=36824463]The Answer is 12. Most guys are not mathematically incline.
If it was about money almost everybody will get it correct. Even pMB did not pass mathematics[/quote]

if our educational system is wrong. then you are definately part of failures. the answer is 6. ask your younger ones in ss3 to solve it for you.

you should weep for yourself.


quote author=petikal post=36825119]I weep for our academic system... actually, no, our academic system is better than this! I weep for the ignorant ones blindly insisting that they are right to something this simple.

It's laughable to say Google can't do BODMAS when you have no idea the brains behind the search engine called "Google". These folks employ the brightest researchers in their field to solve the most complex/abstract problems, and BODMAS is the minutest of those.

If you're going to use BODMAS, apply it properly, and don't negate other mathematical rules.

-A+A is ALWAYS zero. Applying brackets doesn't change that.

The answer here is 12.[/quote]

Kutunban:
Solving equation
3+3*3-3+3=?
(3+3) * (3-3) + 3= 0
(6) * (0) + 3 = 0
0 + 3 = 3
Adding brackets doesn't alter the equation because its like writing
[+3+3*3-3+3]=0

no man. you placed the parentheses wrong.

multiplication comes first so it should be
3 + (3 * 3) - 3 + 3

Then addition

(3 + 9) - (3 + 3)

before subtraction

12 - 6 = 6 qed

3 + 3 X 3 - 3 + 3

The answer is 6. Use BODMAS.

bracket of Division. multiplication. addition and substraction.

in tht order.

1. Division = No division in the equation so skip tht.

2. Multiplication = only multiply the numbers connected to it. that is 3 x 3. ignore the others.

therefore you have 3 + 9 - 3 + 3 left

3. Addition = now do only numbers connected to addition sign. tht is 3 + 9 and also 3 + 3

therefore you have 12 - 6 left

4. Subtraction = subtract numbers
12 - 6 = 6. qed

AreaFada2:
.
People took a sectarian approach to it. They were NOT ready to hear or listen. It wasn't at all about rational. It was about plans to unseat GEJ come 2015. It was making him look as bad as possible.
People like me who tried explaining here were shouted down by tribal bigots.
GEJ could not go about arresting Wale Tinubu, Otedola, Dangote's Uncle (Dantata), Ubah and the rest that pocketed billions in subsidy that Nigerians didn't enjoy.
They would have called him a militant from the creek, out to deal with non-Niger Deltans.
Now people are talking about subsidy from all corners of their mouth.
People should get ready for the "change" they clamour for. Removal of subsidy would be just a start.

The subsidy payments cannot be removed just like that. Prices of fuel would go up to around N150. That would mean increased food, transportation etc. The NLC would request for increased minimum wage. Basically Nigerians will suffer. The Governemtn should do its job and control and monitor subsidy payments. It should review products actually imported and pay for the difference btw landing cost and actual selling price in the market. The Governement cannot and should not pass its responsibility on its people. It should do its job.

AdamsBashforth:
So GEJ was correct...i have always known his intentions for Nigeria were genuine. Well One down... so many more to go. Tribalism and ethnicity was the fuel used in kicking him out of office. If we had listened to him, we should not have wasted all these years. Some sections of our country displayed immaturity in dealing with that policy. Dont forget that IMMATURITY can be defined as a behaviour that is appropriate to someone younger.

GEJ was not right. Under GEJ, subsidy payments grew from 200 billion naira to 1.5 trillion naira. Oil Marketers grew from 30 to 300. Every one who knew someone in PPPRA got a license and started importing. Saraki then raised the alarm in the senate that led to the Presidency removing subsidy in order to stop the wastage. It was a desperate attempt at a bad situation. The solution should be to control subsidy payments and fix refineries. Not to place hardships on Nigerians
