NavierStokes:
I honestly feel it's more than 70%. By the way who would not want to make an instant 100ngn on each dollar. The gains greatly exceeds that from doing legitimate business.
Even saint Mo will milk that cash cow if she sees it unattended to... cheesy

The 390+ rate thing was the height of it, folks became instant millionaires overnight.

"All die na die", maybe the cbn should just open the vaults and meet the demand once and for all, in the process dollars will be driven down to 199NGN. grin grin

We yaff finish in this country cry
Are you sure 70% of the demand isn't geared towards round tripping purposes?

Close the wide gap & arbitrage will naturally die... threats won't do Jack!

The wide margin will tempt even "Angels" to explore if an opportunity to profit presents itself..

Business › Re: Oil Prices Rise To $39, Beat Budget Benchmark Of $38 by modath(f): 11:43am On Mar 08, 2016
989900:
Over $40 now for Brent.

Good news: We have more funds. Baba stabilizing oil prices . . . lol cheesy He tried though, 'jokes apart'.

Bad news: We lose focus once oil prices appreciate, especially if there is a boom -- out goes all the diversification evangelism.

My take: prices are ephemeral/fluid -- we need to approach with caution!
My fear as well but i solemnly hope & believe Bubu won't take his eyes off the ball cos that will be disappointing & disastrous...

Truth234:
Like always i have failed again, smiley Royal Dutch Shell Plc. is simply referred to as Shell (shell oil) and they are currently
Its the company Shell that is downsizing, not oil shale, the product or the process "Shale oil extraction".
That was why I asked "if he is talking about the same Shell"
You are so funny, i can't even take offence cos it's obvious you are just clutching at straws, you're referring to another as a failure when you have refused to read & comprehend! issokay... smiley

Someone posted that SHALE is gaining in value (which is even untrue) , you responded with SHELL is downsizing which is not same thing... instead of accepting your faux pas & providing clarification, you are putting up a false sense of bravado .. kontinu.

Like i opined earlier, not all battle is worth fighting, you are a non factor, *mic drop* .. cool

Lol.. I think truth234 is correcting him without making a big thing out of it. It's shell oil
What are you even saying? Why are you seconding what you don't understand? It's not shell oil, it's SHALE OIL.. Shell is the name of a company, they are two different concepts.

Bizibi:
But the increase is OK for us in the industry,I don't think we should be celebrating it at all,shale oil is gaining ground by the day in the oil market,the competition is not going to be easy fr Nigeria
Truth234:
You mean same shell that is downsizing ?
Truth234:
I am sure they do, but we are talking about nations. Shell is no competition
Bizibi:
yea,they know what they are doing.....
Both of you are just a laugh a minute, X

One typed SHALE , the other read it as "SHELL" & una con dey debate that ... make una try dey read well sha.

Truth234:
The first link you posted exposed your ignorance of the subject matter, when traders flee bearish bets, it means they are now positive the price will rise. A quote from your link "Hedge funds unwound bearish bets at the fastest pace in 10 months as fear of oil sinking to $20 a barrel faded."

Second link, was written in January 11th prior to OPEC decision to cut production.
I won't dignify your inanity with a response..

Degis:
This is the height of foolishness on the part of the OP. How can he celebrate a spike in Oil prices when we know that the dynamics are in a flux.

Don't celebrate too soon but find why a dead horse starts to gallop.
You too can also find out why the horse lay immobile in the first place, it never died, it only keeled over in exhaustion. wink

Let's be hopeful that the rally will ease a bit of of present economic woes, and all the prophets of doom can now go kiss ***, the $20 prediction won't happen.. thank God.

US shale drillers sef don tire..

People are just funny.

Accidents happen everyday, seat belts save lives, they didn't use, the driver probably did but they still all died...

It's sad & the family is hurtling but it would serve no purpose to attach what is not..

How did you or anyone know CONCLUSIVELY that it was tyre pressure problem that caused the crash?
Did any COMPETENT agency conduct EXHAUSTIVE investigation already on the accident site?
No!
How do we ensure FEWER accidents happen if we don't PROPERLY analyse each one?

If you and others want to parochially see this from a political perspective, I can only imagine that is what usually motivates all your public comments.

Shalom!
Salam!!
Peace!!!
How did you know it wasn't? oh maybe cos it doesn't fit with your narrativehuh I'm also shocked you didn't somehow manage to add your nightmare; Tinubu's name into this. smiley

You are talking parochial, Et TU?? Reallyhuh cheesy

Even the new members on this forum are in no doubt about how that title fits you to a T with the way you derail threads with irrelevant fotos that have been failures since 14BC & aren't going to make any difference now.

Pictures they say tell a better story than words could ever do but yours just get lost in translation cos of redundancy & no sense of purpose, you can't keep posting same pic unrelentingly, it never works.

There is no point engaging you or debating anything with you anyway, the wound is raw, I pray God heals you. .

Shalom to you too..

I thought Buhari said there is no First Lady but he has Office of the President's Wife
James Ocholi's death was precipitated by tire pressure problem & it can happen to ANYONE.

Life goes beyond petty politics.....

You don't have to like him but there are concepts called HUMANITY & RESPECT.

You do your affiliation more damage with such antics but cos of single mindedness, it never sinks in, oh well, what do I know, continue.. sad

Education › Re: Nigerian Students Abroad Are On Their Own - Buhari by modath(f): 11:45am On Mar 07, 2016
Most commenters are just being contrary & antagonistic for petty reasons...

If anyone needs subsidized forex to pay fees, then it's safe to conclude they can barely afford it... which is the crux of the matter..

Education is important ,but foreign education is only useful for the recipient & relatives so it's not a major national emergency that will warrant that pharmaceutical,raw materials for essential goods & services oil,life threatening medical ailments etc take a back seat to it...

We can keep pretending like we don't know the dilemma of a mono export economy with decline in the value of such commodity but our precarious situation is clear for the Late Ray Charles to decipher...
