FreeStuffsNG: It's actually South East versus North East competing for the top spot for who is the worst in child right neglect. Not everything is funny and definitely this is not funny, these are real children whose destiny and lives are at grievous risk.
Here's calling on the authorities, especially states Governors, to address this serious problem.
The two zones are the hotspots of terrorism in Nigeria and this could be a feeder to the terrorism prevalent in North East and South East of Nigeria.

Almunjid: I have a modest grasp of the events of yesterday and today, yet the future remains a mystery to me. I’m not suited for discussions or predictions about the future FX rate; such topics don’t pique my interest. I'd rather defer to the economic experts for forecasts. What I think we hold for the future, after our leaders gave their all in the present, is "unwavering optimism". I trust that all will be well with our nation, its leadership, our currency, and the economy.
In response to your curiosity about the future, particularly the FX rate on 29/05/2024, I must admit that my crystal ball is a bit cloudy on the matter. While I share your suspicion that there might be a concerted effort to maintain stability, especially with political winds at play, I prefer to anchor my hopes not in "predictions", but in "the diligent work" our leaders set forth today. May the collective efforts of our leaders steer us towards a prosperous and stable tomorrow."
Shalom! The future can be predicted based on the diligence or lack thereof in leadership. While economic experts are human and their assumptions are not usually far-fetched, I believe that the 2024 budget benchmarks of N750 by the FG and N800 by NASS will likely be the target range. |

SmartyPants: Well as long as subsidizing the naira remains a budgetary priority. But i also think it won't be necessary soon. Who’s budgeting for the subsidy? I was referring to BDC selling less than market rate with 1.5% margin not being a sustainable model for their business. If we assume CBN sold $60M to BDC last month that’s a maximum profit of $900k divided by 1500 BDC should be 660k naira monthly. I don’t think that can cover for their office expenses alone talk less of profits. |

Almunjid: Had I not challenged your initial assertion that the dollar’s decline was due to the use of 1 billion dollars from our foreign exchange reserves, you might still be promoting that erroneous view. Nonetheless, your latter explanation appears more reasonable, which I won’t contest. It’s crucial to maintain consistency and coherence in our statements. This is important because those who read your first comment and miss both "my rebuttal" and "your revised opinion" might accept it as an absolute truth, potentially leading to the spread of misinformation among the youths.
Peace! I think we should be discussing the future! Like what do you think fx rate will be on 29/05/2024? I suspect whatever rate it is there’ll be strong political backing to keep stable for a while—what do you think? |

SmartyPants: There is nothing wrong with defending the naira in order to solve the problem of sabotage. Emefiele's problem was defending the naira at CBN only, while allowing the black market to run riot. This then created a market for arbitrage, further deepening the gap between the CBN and parrellel markets.
Under this approach the parrallel market rate trended upwards with an increasing gap from the CBN rate. Under the new approach the gap has been nearly eliminated, with the both rates trended down, where they need to be.
When the rates reach the optimal level, with Nigeria's trade surplus increasing, there will be less need for a defence, as long as the CBN through the EFCC maintains control of the parrallel market.
Sorry, but things are on a firm trajectory to get much better. Your conclusion is interestingly worded. Do you think it’s sustainable long term for the BDC rate to be lower than the official rate? |

Blaze14k: Bros you are the one to answer that question. I already gave you the answer to your question. So go ahead and prove me wrong with a substantial evidence The turnover for March was $5.54 billion, while reserves depreciated by $1.28BN. A good number of people perhaps rationally believe that the CBN used the reserves to defend the naira, but this is wrong because reserves are not static. They are used to meet obligations or receive alike. It's important to state that it was during the same month that CBN completed clearing verified + airline backlogs in excess of $2B. To be fair to you and most people who think there is some form of defense of the naira, it's not completely untrue, but there is also exaggerated reportage on this issue by many news outlets who seem to care more about the clicks than disseminating the truth. The concerns often stem from either dollars to BDC or FX reserves as addressed above or government borrowings. As for the sales of dollars to BDC, if anyone thinks it's a naira-defense mechanism, let the numbers do the talking. Again, FX turnover was 5BN in March; if we assume a weekly sale of $10,000 to 1500 BDC, that amounts to $60M. Can you rationally say $60m will move a needle in a market of over $5BN? On the matter of MPR rate increment which has led to increased borrowing rates for the government, it's almost a universal practice. We have seen several countries do the same including the developed ones to tame inflation. I think it's important to note that the plethora of CBN circulars has brought about significant reforms to our FX market; visibility has significantly improved, which is the primary driver of the increase in lending by foreigners, which has increased FX turnover. The reforms have seen banks significantly offload their net-open positions while currently searching for investors to meet the new capitalization requirements. In my view, the CBN team has done a yeoman's job in turning around the flight that was about to crash, but now we need to land and park the plane. We need to find the real price of Naira and keep it stable as possible for as long as possible. |

Blaze14k: Bro it's not up to 8 months since the dollar crashed from 1900 to 1130 as of today. The cbn was simply buying time for dangote refinery to start work that is why they have pumped money the made through the inflation to crash the dollar.

Buh my problems why make us suffer inflation when he could have continued subsidising the naira. The problem the country is currently having is production. Are you saying we are subsidizing the naira now? Any fact to buttress this view? |

Penguin2: Was it LP that made Obi popular or it was Obi that made LP popular?
Were the pastors marketing LP (the vehicle) or Obi (the driver)? Nigerians, in general, rarely care about the vehicles, leading to the promotion of the driver as the sole option to counter the Muslim-leaning tickets presented by the two traditional parties. The clerics were not careful in combining their interests with the Author of their religion and promoting it to their congregation, who believe in the infallibility of the Author. However, the election results contradict this narrative, leaving the clerics unable to answer whether the author or the clerics themselves were dishonest. |

Penguin2: You used to be more reasonable than this.
You used to speak with facts and commonsense but I don’t know what happened to you.
Not even Tinubu himself would say what you are saying.
All those who doubted Obi before the elections have all hidden their faces in shame but you have refused to enthrone reason but chose to dwell in inanities.
Obi won Abuja
Obi won Nasarawa
Obi won Plateau
Obi lost Benue by just 3k votes.
Obi won Lagos
Obi won Edo
Obi won Cross River
Obi won Delta even when PDP Presidential running mate was from that state and a sitting governor.
Obi won Rivers.
Talking about Southeast would amount to overkill.
Yet you sit here and blab?
You said this on another thread and I ignored you and you came here to say it again.
I would understand if you don’t want Obi to become president for whatever your reason(s) might be, but don’t ever come around my space and be illogical and irrational.
You should know I don’t roll like that The Christian voting bloc, which spans across the SW-NC-SS regions, has been severely weakened due to the Labour Party's (LP) and its candidate's mishandling of post-election crises. Consequently, it would be difficult for the LP to garner significant votes in a presidential election if held in Lagos today, given that it is a predominantly Christian state according to last election results. In my opinion, the LP's actions have left a negative impression on the Christian community, making it challenging for religious leaders and pastors to convince their congregations to support the party again. |

It has nothing to do with the trial and error policies of the CBN  If you are confident that it's a matter of trial and error the CBN is up to, then I suggest you empty your bank account to buy dollars and hold until the end of June. This action will truly demonstrate your conviction by backing up your words with your financial commitment. Deal? |

LordAdam16: Attached is the state of the country's FX reserves. Source: https://www.cbn.gov.ng/IntOps/Reserve.asp
In just about 8 days, the reserve declined by $400M. That is N500B. Wiped off so you can import toothpick and wigs at a cheaper rate. And we're just getting started.
That is the very real cost of Cardoso's shenanigans.
-Lord Think of reserves as similar to your bank account; as long as you are making transactions, your balance will not remain constant. Now, consider your reasoning: if we assume that the reserves are indeed decreasing as you suggested, what would the transaction volume be over those 8 days? $400 million? Remember, the daily turnover is $200 million. I trust this clarifies the situation for you. |
