This line is stale abeg every single sector in Nigeria is currently comatose abi are they blowing pipelines in all the sectors too
.Are you aware that Buhari hasn't replaced a minister that died over a year ago ?now that should tell you how useless the man's performance is
Sir. Virtually all sectors in Nigeria have been impacted by this directly from local manafacturers to even the local transporter simply because our economy is largely dependent on oil.

Nigerians will see the truth and still refuse to accept it.

I'm only engaging this argument cos of the intelligence you spew. But I can't be convinced Emefiele is not a crucial part of this economic and financial catastrophe.
I was most surprised even Vanguard awarded him Personality of the year even with the state of the country. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/01/personality-year-cbns-godwin-emefiele-battling-forex-headwinds/

No one is saying he isn't working, we're saying his job is to manage the country's finance by regulating the financial system through sustainable monetary and fiscal policies.
It should interest you that the CBN Gov had decided nothing needs to change cos we're still operating and maintaining the same policies that failed the country last year.

Tell me, is this not a clear act of incompetence? Why does he always disagree with his Minister of Finance?

We know the country is broke because of the militancy in the ND affecting our quantity of oil sales and that's why we're experience the effect of these backlogs. Is it when the country is rich that we know a good manager or when the chips are down?

His job is to fix the economy, if he can't, he needs to step aside for someone who can. The earlier govt realises this, the better.
Bros our economic policies are ok. What is faulty is implementation and implementation is an all comers game meaning it is our collective responsibility to make the policies work

And if you say his policies are not working may I ask that you suggest what policies will work?

For the record soludo sanusi also contributed to the mess......soludo by allowing everything Tom dick and Harry to have a BDC license and sanusi by selling close to 16billion dollars to bdcs without proper records!

Well said but you know I'm only stating the obvious, sentiments aside.
Emefiele should be fired for abuse of that office as CBN governor.
If this country was your private entity, apparently even you would have fired him already because the country losing millions of dollars daily and going into the drains and this man is either clueless about fixing it or as I believe he's a major part of sabotaging the economy just to frustrate this administration. I mean GEJ handpicked him to that office for chrissakes.
Point taken but we need to look at this in context.

What else do you want Emefiele to do? To sell dollar that is not available or do you think he has one dollar printing machine in his house where he can just go and print dollar?

The dollars we have now is even from the inflows that come in from export proceeds and oil revenue.

Prior to now we have largely enjoyed because of the rise in oil prices but oil prices are not stable again so that source of inflow is really threatened. This is why the CBN is aggressively encouraging people to produce for export

Even now that oil is above 50 dollars Nigeria has not been able to meet our OPEC daily quota of 2.2m barrels per day because of the militants in the Niger Delta who are blowing up pipelines. So will you also blame Emefiele for that too.

The 1.2 billion dollars sold through this special auction is the excess from the increase in crude prices for the month of December. To be sincere the man is trying and I think we need to give him kudos for that

Our trade deficit alone is another thing because Nigerians love to import a lot and this basic truth is this

If we want the dollar situation to abate...tell the militants to stop blowing up pipelines so we can meet our daily production quota and enjoy the excess from the increasing crude price now

Minimize imports and try to use local alternatives

Encourage Nigerians to export to reduce the trade deficit. It's a shame that even the commodities export market in Nigeria is been dominated by the Chinese now.


Stop all forms of rent seeking activities around the dollar

And for your information some of the banks whose names don't appear in the post have erred because some banks buy the dollar and end up selling to the black market people who in turn sell to politicians and other importers that want to bring in good on the banned list of items. Are you also going to blame Zenith and Emefiele for that? I know some banks have been banned from the special auction window

I rest my case here. God bless Nigeria.

For those looking for PTA. You can easily get from the travellex office at MMIA at official rate but you must provide authentic documents and it will only be sold on the day of travel not before. I have gotten from them twice between October and now. Bearing in mind that you are only entitled BTA/PTA four times a year.

Yaasir:
CBN sells directly to the BDC operators. The dollar is collected through abcon, the umbrella body for the bdc operators and not through the bank. The bank only process the bid. The list of qualified BDC is sent weekly by the same CBN. In essence, what goes to each bdc is determined by CBN and not commercial bank. So, if there is any disparity the same cbn should take full responsibility.
What are you saying? Pls read the post again and edit your comment.

Do BDC operators process Form M?, do they do forward and spot FX transactions?


Do they open LC and Bills for collections for customers that want to import raw materials and machinery for customers?

Oh my.........God help us in country!

Forex experts kindly translate to English.

I'm not surprised Zenith has the highest volume. Wasn't Emefiele the former GMD of Zenith bank?

Saying the disparity between official rate and black market rate is the cause of increasing cost of goods, doesn't that also mean banks still sell bulk of the currencies to BDC against instruction of CBN?
Bros Emefiele has nothing to do with zenith having the highest volume.

Banks were asked to send in bids for this since like two weeks ago and also asked to send in to clear back log of transactions for target sectors. A lot of of these banks didn't comply and we're sending in for back log of invisible transactions (school fees etc) and those bids were dropped. The results of the bids are on the CBN website for all to see and also published in the national dailies

We really need to stop all this sentimental posts

God bless Nigeria.

@ the emboldened, presently below $60 and for the past 6 months, averagely below $45. The unanswered question is; rather than increasing the reserve when it was averagely over $80 over a period of 6yrs, it was depleted without anything tangible to show apart from cheap rice etc, why?
Your insightful analysis is on point. I think beyond anything else the accountability and structure around public revenue is more clearer.
I also like your post about cheap rice. Nigerians will sell and mortage their future for a bog of subsidized rice.

obailala:
The last time there was a sharp drop in oil prices was in 2008. The drop lasted barely over 6 months and it cost Nigeria $20billion of its reserves to ensure that the economy wasnt affected. The current drop in oil prices has lasted close to 3 years, I wonder how much of savings would have really saved us. On the contrary, I think aggressive investments in key infrastructure, specifically power infrastructure and refineries is what would have made a lot of difference.
God bless you. This is what the 30b UsD loans is for because I think the govt of the day has realized that there needs to be an aggressive plan in place to ram up infrastructure but alas a lot of people don't see reason with this including our so called senators. Just as people are quick to blame Buhari for the recession.

BusinessRe: Manufacturer Cautions CBN Over Sale Of Dollar To Bdcs by deenee: 9:47am On Jan 15, 2017
First and foremost CBN has been selling dollars to BDC operators since the time of GEJ. Infact it is on record that about 6billion dollars was sold to BDC operators in one year alone during GEJ's tenure.

It is also on record that a lot of these BDC's are fronts for corrupt politicians and civil servants. Someone once showed me documentary evidence linking ownership of about 150 BDCs to a former VP of this country.


The Buhari administration has been trying to sanitize the BDC business but met with stiff resistance. Just like Nigerians want Buhari's head for banning foreign rice yet at the same time we want local producers to excel. My question is if we don't patronise the local producers how will they excel?

A lot of the manufacturers that are also making noise are rent seekers who simply want to get dollars from CBN using over invoiced Form M after which they turn back and sell over 70% of the dollars back to the black market.

Let's stop deceiving over selves. Nigeria will not change for the better but rather get worse until we Nigerians decide to shun all sorts of corrupt greedy practices that undermine the growth of our country.

CBN stopped giving Erisco the tomato paste maker "special dollars" because they discovered that he was round tripping some of the dollars in the black market. The man comes and starts shouting and saying that he will relocate his business not minding the fact that he has committed an offence that is punishable by death in countries like China and Korea. Yet ignorant and gullible Nigerians are abusing the govt without even knowing the full story.

The bad thing is the dollar situation will not abate or get better any soon despite the increase in oil revenue because the pile up of cash for 2019 elections has started and this pile up is currently been done by three sets of people namely....PDP, APC and a new political party in the making.

God bless Nigeria

Cheap publicity. You had to copy Toke, Linda, Bella Naija etc to achieve what exactly?


I was going to sympathize with you but no point doing that again.

Also you come agree as the relatively unstable, dramatic and emotionally immature type who feels they can trap or get a guy with good looks and fleek skin.

Sorry to bust your bubble but most matured men are not like that oh. Matured men will likely date you and put you on the side chick levels and do this for donkey years and you suddenly wake up and discover that the dude is getting married to some random chick who is just an ordinary Jane Doe. Men want a woman who can hold a house down and not some egocentric chick who storms out of the house at the slightest provocation.

My niece used to do this because she is a combo of beauty and brains and this got to her so bad but nobody taught her to sit up when she lost like three correct guys to other smart ladies. Thank God she is married now and knows better.

On a final note....are you reporting the guy to the trio of Linda, Bella and Toke so they can stop the wedding or what?

Lovely place. However the locals are not very friendly and they also have this quasi ownership mentality of our militant brothers in the Niger Delta.

There are alternate channels like mobile money, POS Internet banking, Short code banking for transactions. Everything mustn't be done with physical naira and kobo.

You know knowing about economics
And you Sir know a lot right?

We live in a country where we import practically everything we consumer despite an abundance of raw material input to produce local alternatives. A country where people wake up everyday to sabotage any effort to make this country great just for their selfish gains.

Let me ask you Mr Economics......do you know that there is already a silent mopping up of dollar cash by our corrupt politicians for 2019 elections? And that the depreciation of the naira against the dollar is largely driven by this.

Import bill is declining year on year which means that in theory demand for dollar to foot this should also reduce so also exchange rate should also fall but alas the exchange rate keeps going up. I guess your knowledge of economics can't explain that simply because the demand is largely driven by speculation and not based on transactions per say!

Also people are quick to draw some spurious comparisons between countries like Russia etc. One quick question what is the composition of the capital accounts of these countries compared with ours? What is their population size? What kind of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements do they have with other countries that makes free flow of capital goods and services easy between these countries?

What percentage of our foreign reserves Foreign Direct Investment as against Foreign Portfolio Investment?

IF the dollar is really allowed to free float as most are shouting here. Nigeria and Nigerians will be in for it. Inflation will be up by 1000 percent and that highly sought after foreign rice that we are all dying to eat for exams will cost 1000 times over. I think people should go and read up on what is happening in Venezuela now just to have a clear understanding.


I don't need to have any knowledge of economics all I need is common sense to understand that a country can only survive if it is self sustaining and we have all the resources to do just this.

P.S just for the record and without sound brash.....I graduated with a first class in economics from Uni Ibadan. You can take my moniker and go and ask around the Uni if in doubt.
