What this means is that dollar was exchanged BY CBN for importer AT N357 and N307 for exporter. This means you you pay more Naira to get dollar if you are importing. This goes for payment of school fees abroad and other goods and services. Black market operators also get dollar from CBN at 357 to 1 dollars. That is why at black markets the exchange rate hovers around 358 to 362 to one dollar during the period. Government receives dollar from the sales of her oil which is kept by CBN. Projected budget of government for 2020 is based on oil benchmark price of 57 dollar per barrel. The price of oil has fallen in the global market to below $30. This means that government revenue has fallen substantially as oil accounts for about 90% of export earnings. In order to get more Naira to pay for internal spendings in the country such as payment of salaries and contractors, government must get more Naira. In doing so, quantity of Naira to be exchanged for dollar must be increased. Government doesn’t want to use the term “devaluation” hence it used exchange rate equalization. This means that no more 307, 357 Naira exchange to the dollar anymore but N380 for all multiple exchanges to a dollar. So our official rate to one dollar is now N380. Black market operators will be selling at amount higher than this may be N400 to one dollar depending on the availability of dollar in the market. Remember that over 50 oil cargo of Nigeria is on the see without willing buyers ad the demand for oil has reduced in the international market. The price is on the free fall because of Saudi and Russia price and output war. If the price of oil falls further to say $20 per barrel, Naira nearly collapse. Government may ban importation of less essential goods. It may go and borrow money from from international financial institutions such as IMF with stringent measures. It may devalue the currency further. Those with fixed income will be worse off. Prices of goods and services will go up. Demand for goods and services will fall. It will affect company revenue and lead to job loses.

Chai.. u go skuulu welu welu.

People like you go dey we just dey get person like bhuhaairi as president ..chai God why

Hello! Stop following beer parlour gist.

Am giving you real time news. Counts are increasing globally. Economy's are staggering, and you are here conforming Chloroquine has the cure even when a regulatory body denied it.

You need to be careful of information you spread. A trial is been done in the US and you already have the result at hand.

Stop wasting your time and energy. You are arguing with a Nigerian for god's sake

allandutch:
I did my own research before using the drugs. If you check Wikipedia Amoxicillin is recommended for it. And the Chemist I went to, a nurse - who also recommended it - was the one that suggested that I use it with paracetamol.

What's a superbug?

It is always advisable to visit hospital irrespective of medical knowledge. Viral and bacterial infections share similar symptoms. Only qualified professionals can distinguish between them.

Superbugs are bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. It is a natural mutation due to abuse of antibiotics.

Always visit a hospital when you are sick
Stay safe

Gartol:
he no reach 200m it was around 50m

More than 50 million

Spanish flu killed over 50million too

allandutch:
symptoms 2: I had a few chills (like very mild fever) in between. Just for a night or two.



symptom 3: I later developed a sore throat few days after. I have rarely have a sore throat. The sore throat is now gone after I started gaggling with hot water.
A combination of this happened to me recently. The day after it started Nigeria had the first Covid-19 case and I was like... This cannot be happening to me! I haven't leave my area in about a month!
But it's nothing that a combination of Paracetamol and Amoxicillin couldn't handle.

Upper respiratory infection, I think.

U didn't even bother to go to hospital sef. Self medication is dangerous. Drug abuse is dangerous. Superbug is real. Help yourself and help humanity

handsomeyinka:
If we can survive EBOLA..we can survive this..
We've got good doctors.

Covid19 is not ebola oh.. ebola is not airborne

A305:
To be honest; Buhari has been pro-active lately.
It takes lots of guts to ban many of those first world countries from visiting a third world country like Nigeria - He has implemented the reduction of fuel price following the downward price fall globally , He is actively open to the public suggestions.

I just realized all these just from out of the loop now given the fact that you can't satisfy people, my question is what do people really want?

Countries wey don ban themselves since. Who still dey travel out of Italy and co

pmoye:
No, it is not about you and I, except you want to play the ostrich. Bury your head in the sand and pretend you have a functional health system. To you you believe confessing positively without complementary funding of the system is being patriotic. In how many countries of the world have we had the report of young individuals who contacted the viral infection dying? In Ekiti state a 27 year old man already died from the infection... And yes, he was hospitalized before his death. In the same Nigeria the government claimed they tested a woman and that she was negative only for the same woman to die from the same infection they had cleared her of. If we would count that now, that's going to be 2 deaths out of 9 reported cases (yes, I added the woman they had claimed was negative). That is already 22 % fatality from an infection whose fatality rate has been reported to be about 0.3 % or less, and predominantly restricted to aged patients.

And you stand there interpreting everything in the light of politics. No, we do not have a health system. Ask the Abuja doctors who declared strike action just yesterday. Ask all the people you know who travel abroad to give birth, or your president and cohort who travel abroad for the slightest cases of earache and all.

If you are not conversant with all these things then you are not qualified to comment on this issue, and it is pure mischief for you to try to interpret this as a political exercise. And perhaps in your mind you're defending a political party or attacking a perceived political party. I hope the virus gets to your yard very soon so you can come back here and talk about how it is between you and I, that we can use sycophancy and words of mouth to in a jiffy revitalize a non-existent health system.

Ok.. bye

pmoye:
I'm surprised that you used the word 'confidence in our health system': did we before have a thing that we can call confidence in our health system? If you say yes, how come our politicians and those that can afford it spend billions of Naira every year seeking medical help abroad?

It's not about politicians at the moment. It's about you and I.

Doctors and nurses in those hospitals are not politicians, they people like you and I. This is not the right time for all these.

When it's time for elections, you can channel this your energy in electing those that are capable.

pmoye:
Go and sleep abeg.
They said they tested the woman that she was negative only for her to die few days after. What do you what us to call that, coincidence or?
Which health system are you talking about, our little princess of genuine news?

I'm not here to argue with you but remember, once people lost confidence in our health system, you are also going to suffer the consequence.

If Your neighbor contracts the virus and refuse to report to the hospital what do you think will happen to you?

Please Be guided.

ornicus:
who is sourcing and certifying our testing equipment?
i hope it is not those unreliable [let me talk like trump] american CDC test kits we are using?

It was distributed by WHO. Made in Germany.

You guys should start watching international news media like Aljazera, BBC world etc

pmoye:
Ask the mama wey die after testing negative in Nigeria.
Fake test kit.

Stop this nonsense. It will hurt you too. Don't undermine the health system by spreading fake news.

This is exactly why ebola killed over 11000 people

Please be guided

Fuckthamods:
To reach 85years is not easy.. She was probably tired of life since death refused to come naturally.

That's nt true..its just an example of how you should feel your answer booklet

Them dey snap picture with imported helicopter. Hahaha

9jatriot:
The situation is a very dicey one for the government. When the land border was closed last year, prices went up and there was a lot of uproar, so that from a leadership position, it becomes difficult to drastically stop all flights knowing that we produce nothing and that the same people urging you to lock anything lockable will be the first and same people to say you did not make provision for food to be available. Then there is also the challenge of locking the nation against legitimate Nigerians who want to return home, do you also deny them entry?
Leadership is hard because anything you do is going to be considered wrong especially if things go south.

Wrong.

You can still allow cargo in while restricting human movement. It's not as difficult as you think. As it is now, only Nigerian should be allowed into the country but they have to under 14 days quarantine before they should be allowed to go home. What is difficult about that?

olamidedivotee:
There are people living with corona virus in this country, thinking is malaria or catarh. While buying paracetamol and ibuprofen

Dr easy oh

madridsta007:
There is nothing wrong with calling it the Wuhan Virus.
Ebola is from the River in Congo where it first originated from.
Lassa Fever, is from a place in Lassa, Nigeria.
Spanish flu originated from Spain.

Why should be Wuhan/ China different?

Actually, Spanish flu might not have originated from Spain. It actually happened that Spain being neutral during that period was the first to announce it. The flu had been killing thousands in Europe before the Spanish admitted its existence. No nation mustard the courage enough to announce it because they were afraid of the implications of doing so in a war situation. You can still do a little googling on this.

Nonsense

iammo:
Only 3 centers can test for corona virus in Nigeria and that's Lagos, Benin and Abuja.. when we where battling ebola only Senegal and SouthAfrica had the facility to test virus..

Virus are extra extra extra nano small even microscope don't pic many virus only specially built multi dollars lab can test it

Ok. Thanks

Keemsleek005:
Even the almighty usa do not have up to 5 labs to do the test. They have to fly the test to other states to do the test, nigeria as 3 testing center, for once give these country kudos.

Ok. Kantri kudos

They have to send sample to Edo? A journey of over 3 hrs from Enugu.

Nigerians sorry

True but already late

Guzel:
Even after NEMA explanation
Indeed you are an African Kolo Mentalist

Fixed

Patrioticman007:
Its not about Almajiri systems but your pathogenic Islamophobia, cure yourself of this insidious disease first before it consume your soul.
That Lassa fever endemic is going on in Nigeria is a fact. Its our own version of Covid 19, however it has a cure unlike covid 19. So more prevention of Lassa fever is preferable than using its cure.

There is not known cure for lassa disease yet. Be guided.

BeLookingIDIOT:
Hope he's negative.Enugu is not Lagos or SW,enugu is SE.There won't be such effective measures there.

What do you mean?

mekaboy:
Shameless country. Good for nothing government. That means someone with the virus can test negative and someone without will test positive. And the spreading will increase.

Lol

But you know stupid people can come up with policies that are detrimental to wellbeing of Nigerians? It's not every policy government comes up with, that the citizens must follow. After all, those in government are humans who are prone to making bad decisions especially in our society were nepotism and bigotry is the order of the day.

I understand.
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria not the politicians. Politicians only ride on established sentiment to perpetuate themselves. If Nigerian s change, the politicians will automatically change. Think about it deeply.

I only support this because the way I see it, is that if everyone can claim everywhere in Nigeria, certain things like tribalism will fizzle away.

If we want to live together as a nation, let's do so with utmost sincerity but if not, let everyone go their separate ways.
