How can the money find its true value when it has nothing to really defend itself with except the money that is continually being dropped down the drain to prop it up? Nigeria has no industry or infrastructure in place to boast of and nothing to show for it being a nation as large as it is. The source of the money being used to shore up that money will eventually run out. What then?

Just wait and see

Remember no more importation of fuel, diesel and kerosene.

Monetary policy takes time to manifest

Kobojunkie:
I have only given you a idea based on the much i was able to track via news reports. I didn't say the government has not or is not now shoring up the Naira as we speak.

The point is this strategy is not working for Nigeria and Nigerians since the problem remains unresolved when after so much money thrown at it, money that could have been better used elsewhere.

Well you are right....

All the money used to defend the naira is vanishing but there is no way a country like Nigeria will leave it currency on a free flow, even many of the develop nation still defend their currency one way or the other.

CBN won't have choice than to defend this naira till it find it's true value

Kobojunkie:
In March, Tinubu used $1 billion to defend the Naira but that money disappeared for nothing. In August, it attempted the same With another $100 million from the same foreign reserves, and that also amounted to nothing. Do you not see that such attempts do not work?

Wait...

Do you believe 1650 is the true value of the naira?

walenden:
I understand what you're saying, but I don’t fully agree with the statement that "our future is already more secure than those who didn’t take risks because they were scared". As a businessman myself While some risks are worth taking, it's important to recognize that not all struggles lead to a better future. We shouldn’t romanticize hardship or struggle just because we took a big leap. Many people make sacrifices, and sometimes, despite their best efforts, things don’t turn out as planned.
Supporting each other emotionally is crucial, no doubt, but we also need to be realistic. The stress my brother is facing in Canada isn’t just a passing phase—it reflects a system that doesn’t always favour immigrants, especially students. He left home hoping for something better, but the reality on the ground is far from easy. We need to keep pushing, but also critically evaluate how we can make things better for ourselves instead of waiting for things to improve on their own, The risk we took is already done; now we need strategy, support, and real opportunities to move forward, not just hope. student struggling in Canada are not fighting any demon; the issue at hand is about finances, not something Spiritual!

Leave that one make he dey console himself

peleson1:
Tinubu should use half of subsidy savings to defend naira shikina

On point

Govt should use it gradually till naira find it's true value

I appreciate this information, and thank God I didn’t rush to pay, even though the guy kept calling me, morning and night saying the slots would finish soon and i need drop part-payment urgently . I decided to go check him at his house to discuss one-on-one, only to find out from the landlord that he moved out last month, as the police were looking for him due to money and passports he collected from different people. When I called him and told him I was at his house, he immediately hung up, and his phone has been switched off since.

Haha 😂
You see, dude need money badly hence looking for prey....

Calling day and night for Canada working visa slot....
Thank God you don't dull yourself, if not ehn, na OYO.

Information is power.

God bless who invent internet
God bless Mr Seun osewa of Nairaland

PLEASE,Does anyone know about the Canada Special Sponsorship Work Visa? An agent told me he has 10 slots available, and I need to pay a ₦550,000 deposit, with the balance deducted in installments once I start working in Canada. The visa will supposedly be ready within 3 months. The package includes free accommodation, work on a farm in Canada, a free plane ticket, and free feeding. However, he said I need to pay quickly before the slots close. I was refused a visitor visa this year, and I'm thinking this might be a good chance.

Canada special sponsorship work 😂😂😂

The agent wan run you street, maybe he need money urgently for ticket to Japa lol 😂

Nothing like free accommodation, free food, free air ticket with Canadian job, even at that, Africans does not qualify for Canada farm work visa.

Shine your eyes.

Go on Canadian government website and check if you see such visa nah

Good one from FG

Host country don't even send pilgrimage coming from the third world countries

olisaEze:
Dude just get yourself a Corolla, those cars are not for this economy.

Not everybody wants Corolla.

Some people want luxury, which Corolla cannot offer

gofigurena:
I estimated the clearing for each vehicle at around 2 million naira. I then added the vehicle's price and shipping cost.

Clearing fee for 2m 😂😂😂😂

I don't think you can clear any of those vehicles less than 5m

Skyfornia:
We are tired of all these permutations ...just bring the price of fuel to N300/litre at most.

300/litre is possible only if FG work on our exchange dollar rate.
This people aren't serious

I will personally prefer Acura MDX, that car is too comfy abeg, then maybe Crosstour

elzi:
Good day everyone. Please I need advice on what to do. My agent applied for Canadian visit visa for me early this year. Went for biometrics in February. During this waiting period, there was minimal or no communication at all with the said agent up until yesterday.
He said my visa approval is out that I should pay his balance service charge, before releasing the letter to me then go to the embassy for passport submission.
I reminded him of our initial agreement which was seeing my stamped passport before final payment. He agreed to send the approval letter to me only on the condition that he will blur some parts. I'm thinking the blurred part will be my application number which I don't have access to.
Please what do I do because I don't have access to my portal to see my status. What if the agent is trying to scam me

Why not visit him?
Let him show you your ppr request msg live and direct.

This thing no hard nah

Asquare84:
I keep getting this error message on my Mercedes 211, what could be the solution please

Check alternator.
It's not given enough current

nairalanda1:
Simple. All those countries produce far more oil than Nigeria, for populations that are less than Nigeria. (KUwait has 6 million people, Oman has about less than 20 million, Saudi has 40 million, and produces ten times what we produce in oil, Qatar has one million and produces nearly 1.2 m barrles per day)

So, per capita, they got more dollars to spend on buffering their currencies, than NIgeria, where, even assuming that our leaders were nice and good people that did not do looting, has limited amount of money.

As 'strong' as their economies are, most nations would prefer to do business in dollars, pounds, euros, and even chinese currency, and yen....because the countries that have those currencies are simply industrial exporters. Heck, I think that even swiss currency better pass Saudi.

And it cost those countries a lot of money to maintain strong currencies...when oil prices fell in 2014, Saudi spent over 100 billion dollars in ten months just to keep the riyal strong. (That led to some changes, including the government eventually setting up a soverign wealth fund).


Nigeria's problem is that we can't do as they do, because we have a large population to spend on. Yaradua was one of the most stingy presidents in NIgerian history, yet at the end he was able to save at least 60 billion dollars in our reserve. Too many people means that a lot of our oil revenue has to be spent meeting needs NOW.....and what we can save , even with prudence, is too little


Ultimately, we have to use our resources to manufacture stuff for export. That is the way. If oil becomes obsolete tomorrow, all those countries will fall.

You too good abeg.... your analysis is top notch.

Population is one of the major factor of the problem in Nigeria, we are not producing enough and also not productive

Kurukuru:
These are the people giving false hope to other people. Let us do the maths.I will go for the extreme senario which is very rare. There are 24 hours in a day. Let say the student work 24 hrs daily from one job to another. For three weeks, the student cant work more than 504 hours. No care job pay more than $30/hr in Canada. $30 is the highest. Pay ranges between $16 and $25.

Let us go for $30 per hr. . For three weeks, that student would work 504 × 30, which is $15,120.

Then where did he/she get the $20,000 you said the student paid after three weeks?

😂😂😂😂

504hrs in three weeks bawo.
That one na die nah.

For a student to even save 20k cad in a year is almost impossible sef

Jeboy:
Okay I retract my statement.

Your story though possible but its not the usual experience others have.

But from limitless hours of on-campus work i think its possible to work more and earn more. That is what I have learnt from your unique story.

You should write a book on how to survive in Canada with zero funding.

That one might be studying in another Canada somewhere not the main Canada in NA we all know 😐

angie88:

Pelaiye2703:
Good evening all, I need urgent help and clarification about my application. I applied through an agent, but I was able to create a tracker account for my application. The attached picture stated that I was sent a message but didn't receive any message via email or text. Now, It was written that my application is closed and I have tried asking the agent, but he said no information yet. I am confused and need clarification as soon as possible because it shows my profile was updated yesterday 27th of September.

Is there another portal aside from the tracker portal?
He used my phone number and email for biometric.

Biometric was Jan 12th

Help a brother edakun...

IRCC already decided your application.

Just go to your agent and ask him to open your portal for you, I doubt if he will do this thou cos seems he already messed up your application

Bobomaigida:
There are funding tied to acceptance of refugees, part of the fees we pay IOM for medicals goes to all the resettlement, UN and other multilateral bodies also give countries that host refugees funds, so they aren't doing it for free.

Hmmm we learn everyday
