With the recent news that dollars is going to be deemphasized and might probably lose values, I'm beginning to think twice about my relocation move. My uncle that recently came back from the US gave me $5000 to do business and I initially thought about using this money to move abroad.

I'm not like an average Nigerian who get carried away with "there are good road and 99hr power supply abroad". When I travel, I'm going there to go and make money not to count ceiling and take hot picture for the Instagram and to pepper people at home.

If dollars get decentralized and $1 = about #250, thouh this development will not go well with people abroad since they'll have fear that the little they send home will no longer be able to surprise anyone, and their usual conversion strategy will no longer work. But on the other hand, this move will help people in Nigeria as there won't be that much of a difference between someone earning #500,000 in Nigeria and the one earning $3000 abroad

Unfortunately Naira would probably just get worse alongside the dollar.

Countries choose to use the U.S. dollar as their alternative currency because it is stable. Stability of currency is not only based on economics but other factors like security, policies and strong rule of law.
The strength of the American economy is one of the reasons why the U.S. dollar is the world's dominant currency. No other country has open book policies like the US. Investor love transparency., which allows for near accurate predictions. So, the investment would continue to flow in to make US the largest economy in world. Remember that the world's most commonly used currency, the dollar is also the world's reserve currency, meaning it's held in large quantities by central banks around the world. Dollar was established as the world's foremost reserve currency by the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944. and as of March 2021, nearly half of all US banknotes were held by foreign citizens, amounting to roughly $950 billion. These people trust the system to protect their money.
This is the reason US is the greatest country on earth and no other country can take that position for now
Ok na

But I thought we all want Nigeria to fail so we'll always have things to complain about, and more reasons to japa?

We?!!... Why on earth will any sane person want his nation to fail?!! Why then do we bother getting PVCs and stressing our lives to vote?!!

Japa is an insult to every hardworking and progressive citizen of any nation... It is the condition that bent the Crayfish!

Unfortunately we could get more things when exchange rate was less than 200/$, for instance, small tiger generator (I better pass my neighbor) used to cost between 6,500 and 8k, which was about 50usd at an exchange rate of 145/$. Today that same generator is about 50k which is over 50usd at current exchange rate. Cement sells for 500 about the same time but now, it's about 4800/bag.
So in a nutshell we get less things for the higher exchange rate than when it was lower, because prices have changed to reflect current market reality.

OP, it is encouraging to see you believe naira can appreciate to 250.
Anyway, let this evil apc return naira to where they met it. Ie 140.

Nigeria also get free education. Western countries take loans to have the same degree you had for free. Till you leave nigeria, you won't know Nigeria education isn't low quality like we do say. If at all, it is a decent foundation for everything good for you
because over there u don't necessarily need go to school before you can survive or earn a decent living.

Did The Father of most courses we read in university today go to school?

The people originated, invented all these courses including medicine we read in university, did they go to school?

Did Hippocrates go to school?

As long as you go to Switzerland with the right documents, I mean work permit or residency permit. you'll never want to live. The only problem is language barrier. Switzerland is 100 times better than America. Ireland, Australia, Canada, and new Zealand. All better than America. See there's no American dream my friend. I live in America. I think America is overhyped. If you go to Switzerland, you'll think America is shit hole.
You live in America indeed. Comparing America to probably the most expensive country in the world.

When you tell Africans your travails and struggles abroad, they say you want to discourage them and others.

When you tell them you're living large and balling, they say you're living a fake life and just want to oppress them.

You can't win.

lmao, even the Americans themselves are complaining about inflation & over printing, u come dey talk with authority like say na u be d president....d less people trade with d dollar d lesser it's importance... China is currently d manufacturing hube of the world, almost everything is literally imported from thier, if they agree to trade with all their partners in yaun, dollars is fuvked, cause America doesn't export much except Hollywood & porn....πŸ˜‚

This one said America doesn't export much after china the next biggest exporter is the USA,
Cjina is the biggest manufacturing hub, you are right, but most importantly it American companies that uses it has thier manufacturing hub, because of cheap labour.
There is a difference between made in China and owned by china,
For instance South Korea giant Samsung Inc uses it's Shanghai as its manufacturing hub, dose that make china the owner of Samsung, dose that mean that South Korea will now sale it's products in yuan because it was made in cjina.
There is inflation everywhere not just in the USA, even the Chinese economy contracted by 2%
The pandemic and the war in Ukraine affects everyone it's not peculiar to the USA abi you no they feel am for Nigeria.

You said an I quote that cjina will start trading with its partners with yuan, the key is this hoe many countries will accept yuan over the dollar
Will Nigeria accept yuan for it's oil sales?? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜€


Get your facts right
Even the porn industry in America, is worth more than the financial sector in Nigeria,
It's a multi billion dollars industry.

The Chinese economy is too tied to the west.

This is poorly crafted and thought out. If dollar goes down, it means the currency is ubiquitous and people can actually access it without paying through their nose. This will balance economy and production cost, reversing the old prices of commodities to match fair purchasing power.
Re: Reasons I No Longer Have Interest To Relocate To America by Ifyz0001: 5:19am On Apr 07, 2023
You are writing based on your own knowledge I can understand. You are comparing the US dollar to currencies like the naira? You think the us will come up with a policy that will make the value depreciates sharply? You think they have incompetent hands on their economy like us here in Nigeria? Even if the US Dollars is universally not used for transactions worldwide it would never depreciate like our own naira if we still have incompetent presidents and leaders in our country.

So don't deceive yourself. Is it only the US Dollars that has good value what of euro, pounds and even Kuwait...when you send these currency down to naira isn't it millions here? Are they the most widely used currencies worldwide?

Abeg reason well, so your children will not blame you in the future, travel if you want to travel and don't if you don't want to.

You are actually wrong. America actually enforce their dollar on countries all over the world. That's how they become rich.

Do you know what actually made Gaddafi, the former president of Libya to be killed? It is because he asked African countries to develop a currency just like Euro that will be used to trade within the continent.

America knew it will crumble Dollar and quickly instigate unrest in the country through the use of media. That lead to the death of a great man.

They bribe or threaten government officials of any country that try to change that. With more circulation of dollar in the world, the more value the currency have.

Just to think of it, how does a country like America that does not produce oil, food or technology end up becoming the richest country in the world?

Your last paragraph is laughable. It shows you very little knowledge of the US.
In case you don’t know, only one farmer in US can feed the whole of Nigeria both in crops and meat (cow) without asking for assistance.
The oil in Texas , let me not tell you
In terms of technology, have you ever heard of Silicon Valley?
