They're trying to copy Russia

They are not, they still do foreign transactions in dollar, it’s just as in Nigeria visually no business will accept dollars or any other currency from you apart from Naira even if you are a tourist

The fiat currency will surely fail.



No matter the arms and death the government use to back it up, it is bond to fail.

Nice move from Ghana.

Little by little, Ghana is taking steps to move forward.

But one ex-giant of Africa is taking a thousand steps backward and all its citizens do is to throw jabs at Ghana.

The only thing that makes Nigeria a force to reckon with is it's population, take that population away then you will know what's up.

Nigeria has ban spending in foreign currency for a long time

Our currency is falling because we are majorly consumers and we don’t trust the Naira
Igbos should better stop importation, they're one of the major reasons why our naira has crashed

I can’t speak to this policy because I haven’t stayed in Ghana to know how bad the use of USD as fiat has eaten into their economy however I know for certain that for the country’s apex bank to do this, there is a serious problem of lack of trust in the country’s currency.

Not just them. The landlords do this as well. Once they know you are a Nigerian, they start to charge in US Dollars.
