Since Binance P2P was banned, over 3 months now, has Naira regained its value?


You guys are chasing wind.


Binance is not the cause of Nigeria's currency devaluation.


First, Abokifx .com was blamed, that one stopped updating rates since last year and the problem persisted.


Its unfortunate that some Nigerians have allowed these corrupt charlatans in APC government to be deceiving them that it is Binance and currency speculators that made Naira value to fall.


The number one reason Naira value fell is the floating of Naira by Bola Tinubu; our economy is so dependent on import and FX to float the dollar without watering the ground first.


The next reason for Naira free fall is pressure on dollar in Nigeria due to excess dependence on importation, especially petrol importation.


Petrol importation alone gulps more than 60% of the dollars available to Nigeria, then other importation follows.


What a reasonable government with sensible and financial expert cabinet should have done is to study the system before taking the hasty actions Tinubu took on his inauguration just to show that he is an action President.


1.) Tinubu shouldn't have removed petrol subsidy without studying and understanding the implications and how to curtail them from crippling Nigeria's economy.


2.) Tinubu shouldn't have floated the Naira the same time he removed petrol subsidy.


What Tinubu should have done

1.) Legalise all those illegal refineries in Niger Delta instead of allowing overzealous Nigerian securities to burn them down. Legalise them and tell them to start paying tax and give them a window period to move into clean refining to avoid environmental issues


2.) Have an urgent meeting with all the 36 stage Governors and give them a mandate to establish a modular petrol refinery in their states, if it will be difficult for those in the North, you can mandate only those in the South while those in the North are mandated to organize solid mineral mining in their states in collaboration with Minister of Mining, this will further tackle insecurity in the form of Banditry in the North


3.) Have a meeting with Aliko Dangote and ask him to tell you the truth of when his refinery would start producing petrol and find a way to get him to sell to Nigerian market at a discounted rate in exchange for tax haven for a stipulated number of years


4.) Declare Presidential emergency on insecurity especially on Farmer herder clashes and set up a Presidential security taskforce to be headed by yourself, if possible, hire some foreign mercenaries to assist for a stipulated number of months to deal with the issue.


Stand on your ground and tell Fulani herdsmen that the era of rearing cattle via open grazing is over, criminalize it and find ways to assist them transform fully into ranching.



5) Hasten on State Police implementation to boost internal security at least. Because the federal policing system is no longer working and can no longer secure Nigeria internally. Whatever negative effects of State Police can never be compared to the positive effects.


State Policing will help Nigeria to enforce anti open grazing law and it will be up effective than federal Police.


6.) Set up a special taskforce on Agriculture and food production aimed at finding working solutions to help Nigerian farmers to return fully back to farming and also how to attract youth farmers into the system through mechanization, improved security and other incentives.


7.) Find way to get most Nigerian homes, especially those in the cities to move to solar energy system in their homes and offices through partnering with ministry of science, PHCN and other stakeholders to subsidize solar panels and quality batteries and inverters, so that more Nigerian homes and offices will be powered by solar energy, which would reduce the pressure on our national grid and reduce petrol and diesel consumption in Nigeria.


Once you do these things, monitor their progress closely and believe me, there will be super result and dollar will crash and we wouldn't have been in the mess we are in as a country today chasing shadows in the name of fighting corruption that has never helped Nigeria since EFCC was set up.



Tinubu can still implement these ideas, I am open to give them more workable ideas to help revive Nigeria's dying economy

Not Binance but the manipulators on Binance.
What value does the naira have that it will be the second most traded currency after the US Dollar on most crypto exchanges, nothing drives that except Speculation and it will be foolish to allow the greed of a few citizens affect the rest of us , so the government is doing very well with this case.
Those US lawmakers were lobbied by Binance , which is perfectly legal, but where their advocacy fall flat is Binance is facing similar charges in US and it's CEO was just sentenced after agreeing to pay a heavy fine..... If US can do that nothing will stop us, not even US Congress

Hunger don make Nigerians dey heartless, self-centered, selfish and wicked.

Thanks to Tinubu wicked policy that is making life very difficult for we Nigerians. Ordinary food is now luxury and many Nigerians cannot even afford a meal in a day.

Before, with 100 naira, one can eat bread, beans or take gala and coca-cola but today, even to drink water is now a war.

Tinubu should wake up before people will start looting the banks.

Hunger is bad.

We are talking of food security. Imagine what these Fulani Herdsmen are doing to this farmer's crop. They are even bold enough to record their action on camera. I think it's high time government should criminalized their excesses and treat their trespasses and willful destruction of farm products as criminal act.

It's 24 fighter jets brother..

Plus those 'ragtag' guys are more organized and plentiful than you think. They are literally tens of thousands of them in total.

You guys don't seem to realise there is a low scale war in the north between the military and those insurgents. Bombs are dropped almost daily by the airforce in their forest hideouts and it's not even reported, so you think nothing is happening.

naptu2:
Each country has its own protocol. At Queen Elizabeth's funeral President Biden was meant to be seated 14 rows back, because the rows at the front were occupied by British dignitaries.

naptu2:
Name one visiting president that was on the first row.

The first row was reserved for South African dignitaries, while all visiting presidents (Nigeria, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, etc) were on the second row. That was the protocol.

zomby:
The unacceptable behavior by this blockhead rookie president maybe a deliberate move to impress the senseless, lazy South African drunks, who see Nigeria/ Nigerians as a threat.

Whatever it may be, Nigeria and Nigerians will continue to break records all across the world; we’ll remain unmatchable, untouched and unstoppable.

Nigeria will be great again!!!

A Lagos restaurant is facing backlash after a Nigerian lady accused the establishment of discriminatory practices based on her attire. The incident occurred when the woman and her friend were denied seating in the main dining area due to her outfit.

In a video posted by her, she detailed her experience at the upscale restaurant, claiming that she was turned away from the main seating area and directed to an outside section instead. According to her, the restaurant staff informed her that her outfit was "inappropriate" for their dress code, a policy she described as unfair and selectively enforced.


Is there anything wrong with her outfit?

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Jihadi fighters who had long operated in Africa’s volatile Sahel region have settled in northwestern Nigeria after crossing from neighboring Benin, a report said Wednesday, the latest trend in the militants’ movements to wealthier West African coastal nations.

The extremists believed to be linked to al-Qaida have in the last year crossed over from Benin’s hard-hit northern region and settled in Kainji Lake National Park, one of Nigeria’s largest, where other armed groups have also gained access, according to the report by the Clingendael Institute think tank, which has done extensive research in the Sahel.

Residents close to the park told The Associated Press that the facility, which holds one of West Africa’s fast-declining lion populations, has been closed for more than a year because of security threats from armed groups attacking neighboring villages and roads.

“Before, it was like a tourism center (but) now, people find it difficult to pass through there,” said John Yerima, who lives near the park in New Bussa town. “You cannot enter that road (leading to the park) now. It is dangerous, seriously.”

The security situation at the 5,300-square kilometer (2,000-square mile) park in Niger state and along the nearby border with Benin is “getting out of hand” and is “a much more explosive situation than we had anticipated,” said Kars de Bruijne, one of the authors of the report and a senior research fellow at the institute.

The “sustained presence” of the armed groups in the park is the first sign of a connection between Nigeria’s homegrown extremists that have launched a decadelong insurgency in its northern region, and al-Qaida-linked militants from the Sahel, the vast arid expanse south of the Sahara Desert, Bruijne said.

Their presence offers an opportunity for the extremists to claim large-scale success in both countries, already wracked by deadly attacks in recent years, he added.

Known as a global hot spot for violent extremism, the Sahel region’s worsening security crisis comes as military coups are toppling democratic governments. As the military governments struggle to contain the violence, they are increasingly severing security with traditional partners France and the United States and turning to Russia for support.

In northwest Nigeria, security analysts have in the past warned that the region’s remote territories, where the government is largely absent but have rich mineral resources and high poverty levels, present an opportunity for expansion for jihadi groups that had operated mainly in the Sahel, as well as the Islamic State group, whose fighters hold sway in the Lake Chad basin.

“A link between Lake Chad and the Sahel is a major opportunity for al-Qaida and the Islamic State to boast about their profiles as leaders of global jihad,” the report said.

There are also concerns from conservationists that the presence of armed groups in the park could further threaten the remaining lions whose populations have declined as a result of poaching and climate change. They say the park and most protected wildlife areas in Nigeria are poorly patrolled, making them easy targets for armed groups.

“The security situation has become top of the list when it comes to the concerns about the lion populations in Nigeria,” said Stella Egbe, senior conservation manager at the Nigerian Conservation Foundation.

The Nigerian military often conducts aerial bombardments and deploys its personnel in criminal hideouts in the conflict-battered northern region. However, security forces — fatigued by the decadelong war in the northeast — are still outnumbered and outgunned in those remote villages, and the root causes of the conflict such as poverty remain.

The Clingendael report said it is unclear what the motive of the Sahel extremists in the park is and what their relationship with other armed groups there will be. Security analysts say it offers opportunities for logistics and more influence amid booming illegal trade across the porous border.

“The Sahelian jihadis potentially can try to use northwestern Nigeria as a place for fundraising, for logistics and to try to influence the jihadi groups there as part of their own competition,” said James Barnett, a fellow at the Hudson Institute whose works in northwestern Nigeria were cited in the report.

Across many villages in Nigeria’s northwest, banditry — not jihadi fighters — remains the major security threat, Barnett said.

The bandits have on a few occasions in the past collaborated with jihadi fighters as two separate groups in carrying out attacks. But even in rare collaborations, he said, there can be “very deadly consequences.”
