PoliticsRe: Naija: Instead Of Dollars We Can Use Gold as FX by LikeAking(op): 1:52pm On Nov 27, 2023
GerogeI:
The corruption in CBN has no direct link the exchange rate. There are many other ways to allow banks handle forex flows independently not CBN.

Defending naira means using your export earnings to pay your import demand. This is not the problem, every country is doing this one way or another.

The problem lies in overcentralization of forex controls where all dollars goes to CBN, and is made available for politicians, who prioritize their access to local value. The consequences is that they artificially devalue the local currency every time their is a pressure of higher import than export.

A simple way to understand this is to compare Nigeria Import /Export Ratio in USD. This Ratio in ideal situation should be the exchange rate of naira to USD.
For 2022, Nigeria imported 56.3 billion USD worth of goods. And exported 46.9 billion USD worth of goods.

Our import exceeds our export by 10.6 billion USD., And the Ratio is is 56.3/46.9=1.2. The USD should be worth 1.2 Naira. Let's consider all the imperfections in the system and make this 10 times worse than ideal. 1 USD should be worth 1.2x10=12 naira.

Let's do a similar Analysis for a comparable African country, Egypt. In 2022 Egypt imported 85.76 billion usd in goods, and exported 51.6 billion USD. Egypt Import Export Ratio for 2022 is 85.76/51.6=1.66
Multiply by 10 to consider real world imperfections, Egyptian pounds should exchange at 16.6 To USD. In reality Egyptian pounds traded at 15 to 1 USD in Jan 2022, and 24 to 1 USD in Dec 2022.

Let's look at South Africa.

Imports 2022 was 136.2 billion usd
Exports 2022 was 122.9 billion usd

Import Export Ratio =136.2/122.9=1.10
Multiply by 10, 1 usd should ideally be 11 rands.
In reality in 2022, 1 usd was 16.88 rands.


These comparisons shows you how well the economy is being managed. For Nigeria instead of 1USD to 12 naira in 2022, we had 740 naira.
Our economy and currency is simply being mismanaged for politics and theft, and its been going on for decades. Currency devaluation not only enables politicians to steal, they use it to please the West. It should banned by law.

When was the last time naira exchanged at 12 naira to 1 USD? How much has the Naira been devalued? As at 2022, it was 740/12×100=6166% devalued.
This is the only reason coins have no value any more.

Someone will come to argue we should use forex earning not import and export. They mirror , so it's same thing. Or they can argue that our population is large. It reflects in the size of our imports, vs local production. The summary is that Nigeria earned only 20% less foreign exchange than it needed for purchases in 2022. How that warrants today's exchange rate of N1150 to usd is a mystery. But that forex is scarce I'd a big fat lie we have at least 80% of what we need.
U are very smart and knowledgeable..

We have been made to believe the Naira is losing is value because we don’t manufacture anything..

There are countries worse than us when it’s comes to manufacturing, yet they are doing fine..

We have corrupt, insane, dumb and evil politicians running the country…


Naira should not exceed 20 Naira to a dollar..
ProgrammingInstead Of Wasting Your Time Learning Nonsense Type Script, Learn Python by LikeAking(op): 1:20pm On Nov 27, 2023
If you already know JS,don’t waste your time learning Nonsense type script because one YouTube fake influencer said so..

At the end of the day the people who will use your app will not care about what you used..

Someone said it cost a lot to set up something in the entertainment industry, Isreal doesn’t need to set up anything in the entertainment industry there are variety of business he can do an earn huge with the influence of just been an associate of Davido but he is just intellectually slow.

As Isreal Dmw dey if e invest for boutique for example and he’s got very good collection of clothes and has davido wear some of his designs and just post to show he got them from Isreal collections you know customers when Isreal go make only from there, we haven’t even talked about other celebrities in the industry.

Nor be to mingle with the influential, na to dey extremely smart to make use of the influence
It’s obvious she is too high for him..

We Nigerians just advise people carelessly.

RomanceRe: Emergence Of Hook Up ‘HK’ In Nupe Land And The Need For Concern by LikeAking: 3:19pm On Nov 26, 2023
Awesome6s:
When society faces challenges, especially when it comes to moral misconduct, we are often hasty to blame women and mothers. Yet, both men and women share the responsibility for improving the world.

This investigative report delves into the disturbing developments in Nupe land, where the historical bastion of moral standards is facing a crisis.

For a significant duration, Nupe land has been renowned as a bastion of high moral standards and reference point for young people. However, in recent times, with the emergence of different sad events, it appears that the foundation for nurturing morally upright children has begun to crumble and we have been complacent in ignoring them. This calls for concern.

So, your life must be static after marriage? Does Davido have side incomes or not? When you have 1, 2, 3 children, will you still be on the single level of income?
Did Isreal wife give him money to start and business and he refused, did she find a beta job for him and he refused?

SaintUlot:
With the rate at which Nigerians are leaving Nigeria, you will think with N50k you can japa from that country. Every Tom, Dick and Harry have left, the remaining ones are just waiting to buy their flight ticket.

I doubt if we still have up to 1 million people left in Nigeria at this time. So where is that multidimensional poverty statistics coming from? If almost everybody can afford the cost of Japa that doesn't come cheap. This makes me to come to the conclusion that, Nigerians might not have money in their bank account, but majority have tangible assets that can be easily converted to cash if the need arises.
I am happy u are asking this question.

Poverty in Nigeria is over exaggerated.
