Go and buy na cos there will always be your type around to balance the profit and loss equation.
HNICEARTH:


This is the right time to buy dollars. Buy the dip. Wether Dangote products hits market or not, one thing is certain, dollar will still go up.

Those in power have appetite for it. They will always mop up when it's time and that will lead to scarcity.

Only way NGN will permanently stay strong against the USD, is to do away with nigerian politicians and get leaders who have empathy, love for the country and are ready to sacrifice their privileges to ensure the country works. Any other thing, nah comedy central

Is Reno an Economist?

How many of his past 'prophesies' since 2015 ever came to pass?

The Naira will only gain further whenever Dangote starts sourcing its Crude from Nigeria and in Naira (not the rubbish Reno is writing)

How could Dangote be buying crude from US and you expect Naira to improve?

One of Reno’s prophecy that came to pass was his prediction that PO contesting the 2023 presidential elections under the LP was going to cost the PDP and the APC would win
A very simple commonsense logic which obidense folks failed to grasp

Around 70% of Fx usage in Nigeria is attributed to fuel importation, so if we we can refine what we use in term of fuel consumption then, we have reduce the demand for dollar by 70% so other manufacturer sector we have enough to work with and it will be surplus

Because imported US crude oil is cheap. What we were importing was expensive REFINED petroleum products.

So the source of the crude is not that important insofar as it translates to cheaper home grown refined petroleum products and energy.

It’s a reversal of western practices in Africa, where they import our raw materials for cheap, then process and export for massive profits.

That’s exactly what Dangote is doing with US oil.

Please what is the landing price of American crude oil per barrel, compared to the Nigerian crude? Do not twist facts.
Raw materials were bought by the Europeans and Asians because they do not have them in large quantities.
Soon, America will buy our crude oil and sell back to Dangote.

I agree with you. But, it is outrageous for us to allow Dangote to spend the needed hard currency to import crude oil. It is unthinkable in advanced world, especially when our crude is of good grade sought after by other countries. Haba! The net gain in dollars will fall short of expectations.

180 wasn't the actual worth of the naira back then, it was only pegged by cbn and was using the dollar stored during oil boom to defend it at that price. Now with that there is no way to build the reserve which in turn put us were we are. Tinubu might have his flaws the step he took was a brave one, many people will avoid it and ruin the economy more and also postponing the inevitable.

With the new policy the naira will find it true value and when dangote starts selling, it reduce the pressure on the dollar since we won't be spending dollar abroad to get Petroleum product. I pray some of the reform in the power sector actual bring about the desire changes the economy bounce back.

Dangote is not running a monopoly. The problem with a lot of rich Nigerians is that they don't fancy any investment which may take several years to see returns.
Look at our banks as well, they would rather engage in round tripping than finance industrial concerns.
I think Dangote is just bold or perhaps he believes in Nigeria more.
I am telling you myopic people don't see it from that angle, if half of Nigeria millionaires and billionaires are investing heavily in Nigeria we won't be looking to government for everything.

How is Tinubu the biggest hater? Someone that is doing everhthig possible to make Nigeria work? How many past presidents faced Nigeria problems headlong the way he is going about it? Fuel subsidy, Dollar subsidy, Refineries, Security issues, Look at the way he has handled these nigeria's perennial problem in less than a year in office. Issues that all formal presidents were dodging and would leave for next president to solve? Have sense bro. Na u hate fill im belle for Nigeria. Our president is heaven sent, doing great.

How has Dangote prevented you or any other person from building your own refinery?
Last time I checked other investors are also building other refinery.

There is already one I Edo. Some others coming on stream!

Importation of crude oil have lesser impact on the exchange rate than importation of refined petroleum products.


With time, about 80% of the crude oil will be sourced locally in Naira ,which will drastically reduce the demand for the dollar. Thus the Naira will gain strenght.

Nigeria has no power the dollar but has power over Naira.

When the exchange rate was $1= N180, the exchange rate was heavily subsidized by the CBN (meaning CBN was selling dollar to Nigerians below the market value).
