Politics / Re: Households Under Pressure As New Electricity Tariff Due July 1 by Landmine1: 3:35pm On Jun 19, 2023
gabbytabby:
Control that which you can control. You really are not helpless.

Only use low energy 5watt or not more than 10 watt bulbs.

When you buy fridges and /or freezer check for low energy usage or those with inverter. Same for AC. Be intentional about everything you do and you will see that things are manageable.

There is a lot of wastage in the use of electricity.
no matter how much you think you control, you’ll burn through 2 or more units daily.

The power of the government can be likened to a superpower(something extraterrestrial)... There's almost nothing u cannot do


In the meantime, Nlc and TUC are beginning to act like saboteurs, they don't even wanna negotiate on how to make things better and balance.


Theirs is to always find a way to run from work yet their fight barely yield anything positive enough to affect the masses
this isn’t the power of a government, this is the corruption of a government.

I’m a strong critic of this man and I truly didn’t believe he would work, but I have no shame in swallowing my words. He is indeed working and better than the animal that left that seat. I hope he succeeds and I won’t lie to say if he indeed works and truly delivers I’ll vote for him for a second term.

Investment / Re: Nigeria Stocks Gain ₦‎992 Billion On Reports That Banks Can Trade Forex “Freely” by Landmine1: 9:24pm On Jun 14, 2023
LegendHero:
To me, the actual big deal is that he could do all this without the usual grounding of the country from the big boys of the industry benefiting from all this.

When Bloomberg praised Tinubu yesterday, they did not do that because he removed all these things but they specifically mentioned that he was able to maintain stability and peace after removal, something that usually lead to chaos whenever any government try to do that since 2003.

I think he was able to achieve this because he got lot of loyalists in all corners of society. From the street, business world, Labour world, trenches, politics, international community, and etc.

No president can get away with removing fuel subsidy & unifying exchange rate in 2 weeks without sparking massive protest that would have grounded the economy. Tinubu mandate is divine.
I have never supported tinubu, I have always supported Peter Obi, but you are right. Absolutely right on this.

Broskyjames:
I will try to explain as simple as possible. In the hale days of Meffy at the helm of CBN, through some bad economic projections, him and PMB assumed the naira to be "461 to the Dollar", Hoarders and friends of Meffy had a field day, they were able to get the dollar at the CBN rate of $461 and sell on the black market for around 550 (2017) before it steadily rise to the about 780 it is today. These actions spooked the market. Genuine investors didn't get these dollars for investment at CBN rate because of these "Special friends", and they took thier investment elsewhere. Some Industries like Airline who brought in forex at black market rate where told to collect back their forex at CBN rate, which meant instant loss and so i know a particular airline who has about $800m trapped here because of this!.

As the years roll by and as Meffy and PMB continued the charade that the naira was trading at "460" to the Dollar, it became evidently clear that CBN had no forex to keep up with this charade, and so so restrictions and plans were kicked in motion to arrest the situation. First was the famed reduction of Forex debit on Naira cards, it was reduced to $100 per month, $50 dollars per month, to even $15 per month! before they basically just cancelled forex debit on Naira dominated cards. A little detour, That time you could use your Naira card to shop on AE, what happens is that you pay in naira to your Bank, your Bank pays AE from thier own Forex reserves, as the forex got depleted, that why they stopped it. The only way now is to bring in your "own" dollar physically and that's where dom account and Dollar card comes in.

Let's continue, CBN even started forex promo! They advised people to bring thier dollars for a discount, i think it was $5 and get $1 discount, and still the Naira and Forex balance never recovered because people knew that the Naira was on life support.

On May 29th, 2023, Tinubu on his inaugural address, stated a plan to "float" the Naira, and the first step was to get rid of Meffy, which he did last Friday. And so today's announcement, means the forex market is an open field for all, no more CBN rate, instead you have something called "Unitary rate" meaning the CBN rate and black market rate are one and almost the same determined by market forces. It opened the forex window for banks to trade the dollar at any rate as determined by these forces and source it from anywhere. Meaning if a bank is offering me dollars at 700, the black market offering me at 780 will have a rethink, and push thier own prices down in a direct competition with the banks.

What it means for you and i is that, the beginning will be very rough but it will pay off in the end, the reason why most Virtual Dollars are down now is that they want to see how the market will react to these announcement and projection are the dollar might trade between 800 and as high as 1000 naira in the coming days!. The country's forex reserve is almost next to zero, It is the hope that the announcement will encourage investors to bring in thier forex without fear of it been trapped at "CBN rate", other forces will come into play too i.e like the gains of the subsidy removal etc. Steadily these will balance the forex and naira trade driving the exchange rate back to a favourable rate and who knows the bank might even announce a return of forex debit on Naira cards in the coming months....fingers crossed.🤞
this is the positive side of things and can only work if the government and banks have ways of steady meeting up with the FX demand, if not, it can go sideways and you’ll have both the CBN rate and black market rate reaching up to as high as 1500 per dollar. A corruption free country would achieve this but with the same Nigerian senators that manipulated this dollar rate thing in the past still being in power, and the previous CBN deputy governor being the present governor ? It’s wishful thinking, but let’s be hopeful.

you are respecting and celebrating the monopoly of government. Lol this isn’t the feat you think it is. Checks and balances is good for a nation. This is an authoritarian pretending to be a democracy. First sign of a dying country. This country is only alive because it hasn’t experienced threat from hostile countries. Pray it doesn’t happen because corruption has eaten deep and left the first line of defense unprotected.

This is exactly why Putin is loosing his war. He hand picked YES men to rule alongside him and no one ever told him the truth that their army is subpar.
