Politics / Re: Nigeria Set To Join BRICS, May Start Trading Crude Oil In Naira by JuanDeDios: 9:01pm On Mar 08
NPFLADMIN:


I think they are meant to buy the "Naira" they want to use to buy the crude oil with dollars.
Hence more dollars.
They could buy it with roubles or rupees. But yea, all na forex. Sourcing dollars to buy naira to give to whoever sells oil (NNPC, IOCs)... Hmm. Fingers crossed.

Helinus:
We import most of the things we use.

If we start selling oil in naira, can we buy from China and Europe with Naira?


It will bring more hardship.

Why don't we wait till we start producing most of the things we use in Nigeria?

Nigeria is like a child that his father is a Village palm wine tapper, managed to send him to a university, and the child is trying to chill with the big boys, it will end in tears.
At least, someone is thinking. Economics is clearly not Mr Falana's forte.

High Chief Dr. Sir Darlington Nwabunike undeniably stands tall as one of the most promising and inspiring leaders the Igbo people can proudly boast of in the 21st century. His influence and charisma is just out of this world.

Edo no be Lagos my black ass

Obaseki want to ambode shuaibu, at the same time he want do godfather in Edo state, the same thing that gave birth to the mantra "Edo no be Lagos"


It's obvious average Edo people don't have loyalty, watch out as ighadalo will order for the probe of obaseki later


I'm a living witness of the third paragraph with many people I've met as Edo indigene
You're not a living witness to anything. We're all living witnesses to your fatuous penchant for generalization.

Imagine if Donald trump was a black man with all the scandals and infractions he committed, he would be in prison by now and be barred from running for any public office in US forever.

Republican party of today is full of dregs and deplorables

He's just wasting his time, no sane American will vote for him
You're sure he won't win? We can't always be sure the majority are sane.

That's Jennyclay for you. Jennyclay will likely avoid this thread.

But those men should be ashamed of themselves.
Why? They're simple men who fulfilled their part of the deal and didn't know their girl was involved with other men.

It is obvious this particular "investigative blog" has personal grievances with this particular smuggler. I can clearly heard where that man was saying custom Boss smuggled trailers of rice without the custom doing anything but this particular "investigative journalist" decided to ignore that particular one and focus on this guy threat to deal with custom officer. This selective investigation will only run this particular smuggler down while hundreds and thousands of smugglers in the good book of custom continue to game the system. Even the custom bosses self. I don't support illegal smuggling of goods either by smugglers or by custom officers as it robs the country of its revenue
What's your point, sir?

Paying the naira equivalent of dollars is the same thing.

Not the same thing. Dealers shouldn't have to source dollars to purchase LPG they're going to sell in Nigeria and the price shouldn't change daily with the fluctuating dollar rate.

Business / Re: CBN Mandates BDCs To Sell US Dollars At N1,314.01/US$ by JuanDeDios: 2:53pm On Feb 28
femicyrus:

BDC has dollars, banks don't have?
Who is more likely to get more dollars from CBN out of the two?

Anyway, you can approach CBN directly since your need for dollars exceed that of banks and BDC
@bolded. Yes. No today? If you don't know why BDCs always have dollars when the banks don't, I don't think you know a lot about this subject matter.

The CBN is not a commercial bank, so you can't approach them - unless you're some powerful politician, and even then, they won't give you directly.
Business / Re: CBN Mandates BDCs To Sell US Dollars At N1,314.01/US$ by JuanDeDios: 2:14pm On Feb 28
emerged01:

As a matter of BDCs are not to be in existence when banks are selling forex at the same rate. The reasons they are existing is because of corruption in the banking system. Nobody cares if they pack up.
You're correct - on paper. The fact is, banks will not have enough dollars in the near future, hence BDCs. But if there's full floating and they're both selling at the same or similar rates, the existence of BDCs won't matter and we won't have to adopt Taliban economics by sending armed police to go harass them in their shops.
