In simple terms, this new policy allows Nigerian exporters, particularly those trading with Francophone West African countries, to receive payments in CFA francs. This will help reduce the dependency on the US dollar for international transactions within the west African region.
The CBN’s decision comes amid persistent forex shortages in Nigeria, which have hampered the smooth repatriation of export earnings. Exporters can now bypass the hurdles associated with converting their earnings into dollars before accessing the naira. This is expected to enhance trade efficiency and boost Nigeria’s non-oil export revenues.

This also aligns with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) objectives and further boosts promoting intra-African trade.
Trust me, it is a game changer for Nigerian exporters, especially for SMEs who are often faced
with delays and losses due to forex bottlenecks,
This policy is particularly beneficial for exporters of agricultural products, solid minerals, and manufactured goods, who frequently engage in trade with neighboring countries like Benin, Togo, Niger, and Cameroon. These nations, which use the CFA franc, are key trading partners under ECOWAS framework.

The CBN will as a matter of importance, set an framework for the exchange rate mechanisms to mitigate exchange rate volatility and ensure transparency for both currencies.
According to COMTRADE, the trade export to Niger Republic, Togo, Cameroon, Benin was in volume of over half a billion dollars ( over $500 million dollars), it's quite significant.
This arrangement is similar to the $2 billion Nigeria-China swap deal, which will begin as soon as its frameworks are finalized.

All these your long epistle, the reason is simply the naira is now valueless while the CFA has become a very strong currency in this ecowas region under this maladministration. Businesses now prefer CFA to naira across ecowas borders.

aswani:
Was it documented anywhere or noticed by someone and stated publicly? Sorry I can't just take your word on this.

And was it more than the normal steady movement especially into places like Onitsha?

Yes we are talking about mass movement... Industries, businesses, services infrastructures etc

Goodlady:
The thing must have pained her that is why she came online. Marriage is unfair to women. She looked threatened or pressured to apologize

Marriage is good and not unfair or favorable to a particular gender, it's all depends on how you manage it, nothing is perfect under this sun

richmond500:
show me one person that praised Obi back in 2012

Actually every sensible person, politicians, media houses and those who understand governance, such that other governors appointed him to lead them despite being from opposition party

aswani:
So why did we witness all the abuses on his person on Nairaland by Ndi Anambra?

And also, why wasn't there a mass exodus of people from other states into Anambra,? From what you described, it would have been heaven on earth compared to every other single state in the Federation.

There was actually mass movement especially by easterners into Anambra

Reminds me of the book "One Eyed Sunday"...

Or one eyed snake

Softmirror:
In every team, there is usually someone given the role of the spot taker. That role is a role that can be so crucial. It has ruined the career of some footballers due to not being able to score when it matters most. It's a very difficult position.

That single penalty that he scored in the match was the decided.

Decider

Shiloh50:
Osimhen deserves to play for a top top club. He's a top top player. World-class
I'm dying in silence. Hunger is tearing my tummy. I need help nairalanders Pls o

Where he's playing now is his level club, if he's that good Madrid or Barca go come for him

GistMedia0:
In a thrilling match between Galatasaray and Konyaspor, a single snapshot stole the spotlight—a photo of four Konyaspor defenders tightly marking Victor Osimhen. Fans couldn't stop buzzing about the scene, with many joking that it took a whole squad to contain the unstoppable striker.

But even their combined efforts weren't enough! Osimhen proved why he's a world-class forward by scoring the lone goal of the match through a perfectly executed spot kick, securing victory for Galatasaray.

Them want to squeeze him LoL, spot kick? That's how y'all keep hyping Ronaldo until he started seeing himself as the best

richmond500:
Just to gain public accolades, this guy is over doing it.
If he was this good, people wouldn't have hated him when he was a governor.
He was the only governor that a single person didn't say anything good about his leadership

If you are opportune d to witness his time as governor, you won't say all these gibberish here, I am alive today and I witnessed it, he was one of the best, he changed the way governance is run, brought modesty to Anambra, everything is not about infrastructures yet he did his best, during his time Anambra was rated as state with most motorable roads, almost all the communities were tarred, priotize education which Anambra is enjoying today, so forget hate and self denial, you'll never achieve what PO has achieved in your entire life.

safarifarms:
So much more was spent for renovation in Nigeria than in the US where things are supposed to be much more expensive especially considering labour cost over there?

Don't mind those irritants

Good for the future

Obakoolex:
The bitter people will still not appreciate APC government that did this for them but still brag about 16 years of slavery under pdp with only full belly to show for it.
They are truly Esau descendants, the hairy balls and body confirms this

Ewu this is a ppp project approved by Gej, Buhari admins tried to stop it but realized it was too late, then they use part of abacha loot to pay fg 20%

Dbestbrest:
Ekiti State had completed the 1st phase of generating power and had started distributing it within the state. The transfer made by NERC means that if a state can generate more than their energy needs, they can now sell to a neighbouring states. Abia State is yet to key-in into this opportunity, until that is done Aba power will still be under national grid

Aba power is not connected to national power grid, it's entirely independent powered with gas that's why they put it here as 12th power station

PandoraObi:
Some people are just bereaved and embittered, especially those shouting Igbo amaka like monkeys

So what stops you from shouting your own Amaka? You guys are always bitter and envious, entelopess

Godwin4444:
when noisemakers go to prison

It's just a way to humiliate u by sending the one u rate to prison so u can know who d boss is

Despite all you Igbos noise n bragging the man has spent over 2 years there.
That's a direct message to u if u know d meaning, even if court free him, we won't release him.

Same thing they are doing to nnamdiot kanu

They just want to humble u Igbos cos of your loudmouth

He's already in his house and enjoying as the Eze Igbo in Ajoa, you can't do kpim, he'd sue the Idiot for over staying his sentence in detention. He was just given 12 months while he has been detained for almost 2 years, His fundamental right is trampled upon, una no get sense at all and always tribalistic

AdolfHitlerxXx:
E pain am. Let me help you with what Nnamdi Kanu said about ibo females, your mum inclusive

Your girls are more into prostitution the problem is they're unattractive them be bad market hence you find them plenty in countries like Mali, Senegal, ivory coast, somalia etc

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Yet Igbo gals can kill out of desperation to be with Yoruba guys.

We pump and dump them for ibo guys to wife with 30 page bride price lists

Yes Yorubas go for them because they won't find their class among Yoruba girls plus personal hygiene, it's men that goes for women not d other way, Yoruba men can not live without Igbo girls. Oh na today you see money put data?

MadamVanessa:




I saw one clown above gloating over this. I don't see these words as Yoruba words anymore, these words are used virtually by all Nigerians , even in other African countries too. These words are more like Nigerian creole language (pidgin). Those words were not added to oxford dictionary because it's Yoruba words but because of high percentage of speakers using it daily.

Please don't let your inferiority complex makes you think that you've achieved anything on this. It's just a normal thing. I cant even count the numbers of Swahili words and other languages words that have made it way to oxford dictionary yet the speakers don't make a fused.

I expect the land of PhD holders to behave more maturely.

They are even added by Igbo man including his voice description

Yes there's threat in that statement or you want to call it threat only when he openly say you will be killed?

Giving Trump options to choose the sentence he'd like

Factcheck0001:
if he like make e go sleep for under bridge with agbero nothing for him

Suddenly this people want to whitewash d same man they cursed to suddenly become overnight Messiah

Mrvitalis abagworo n other Igbos that warned us then I know u will b somewhere fighting people for rejecting d man u warned them against now

We can't b fooled by your gaslighting

What about Reno that you are supporting about Tinubu whom he has cursed in the past but now glorifying him?

porthouse7:
who is now the president? Igbo are politically irrelevant, no serious presidential candidate will need igbo vote to be president

That's because you're dull, if you understand how voting works in Nigeria unlike SW that their votes are always dividend, Igbos gives block votes if they want to vote you, and mind you just 1m votes can make or mar you

porthouse7:
igbos are politically irrelevant in Nigeria

This delusional kids that don't even know how naija politics started, it's because of Igbos that your lord Tinubu lost Ikeja and Lagos at large in the last general election, you think it'd be like in the past when over 80% of Igbos don't go out to vote

emkz:
I am not trained to accept everything anyone says.

Working in opposition means being ahead of the game. It means doing indepth research and coming up with a criticism that would put the government on its toes. Peter Obi keeps parroting the same meaningless phrases to pander to a delusional mob who are shouting: "ride on".

If I were to criticize the president, I'd not advise him to visit the states or use National Hospital for his medical checks. I won't ask him to visit states or travel on highways. I'd ask him to explain how he'd reduce inflation to 15% and the steps he is taking thereto. I'd ask him what he is doing to improve vocational education. I'd provide statistics on the impact of his policies on cost of living. I'd explain the amount of money spent on government bureaucracy and give a comparison of how the funds could have been used to repair bridges or build rails. I'd provide a position paper that would rip the government policies apart that they'd be afraid of him. He can even hire experts to think for him. Look, Obi makes opposition look like a joke. If Atiku criticizes, the presidency sometimes explains because Atiku sometimes raises germane issues. But when Obi criticizes, it comes off as pedestrian, silly and unserious.

Opposition is a serious job, and is almost an alternate government. As you criticize, provide solutions. Peter Obi's solutions are appropriate for a state governor or local government chairman. When Lai Mohammed was in opposition, PDP was roasted to pieces. Where is that quality of opposition today?

There is an unrelated question I have. Many claimed that Tinubu bought a yatch which many of you believe.

Where is the yatch?

My dear, POs suggestions did capture all these you're emphasizing on, you just want him to be pointing them one after another like a primary school kids. The president visiting is for moral support and boosting, it's obtainable everywhere you can't always sit in your office and claiming president, we know he has ministers. For the Obasanjo illustration, it's not out of place, he also used Shagari days too. I can tell you during the time of PO as governor he was amongst the best, I witnessed it, touched almost every area of interest forget all these lies against him by opposition and enemies.
