To summarise it all. Nigerians are just wicked people. From top to the bottom. It's easy to raise cost of goods once the dollar appreciate even when they still got goods in stocks. But when Naira appreciate, they needed to wait and see before price comes down which might take up to 60-90 days. Hypocrite everywhere. You see them using different grammars to defend their selfishness. Its high time the Federal government start regulating costs. Laws need to be made to restrict Business Organisations to some certain levels.

Very wicked and unpatriotic.
The same wickedness that made someone convert her entire gratuity to dollars and start praying and hoping that it gets to N3000.

If petrol was being sold for 617 naira per litre when 1 dollar was equal to 1,600 naira, then it should sell for 424 naira now that dollar is equal to 1,100 naira.

If NNPC doesn't reduce the price of petrol to 424 naira, then inflation will be on our faces.

Exactly!
I was telling one idiot few days ago that the high cost of commodities doesn’t solely depend on exchange rate and he was talking nonsense. The main issues are there unaddressed.
People shy away from the truth and become dumb for selfish reasons. For instance, how can Custom be having its own exchange rate higher than every other rates in Nigeria ? They slam this same rate on every imported goods and people begin to blame the sellers of the products… who wants to do a business at a loss!

Now, security, a major problem is there, no one is talking about it again. A. Number of farmers get killed on daily basis; unreported cases. No one is willing to go to farm due to fear of being killed.

How can it come down when diesel is still sold at N1500 per liter. Abi no be lorry dey convey goods? How can it come down when everywhere is insecurity? Abi farmers are now free to go to their farms?

Only fuulish people that are falling for agbado propaganda? APC gathered jobless youths in one computer location and started paying them to create multiple social media accounts to spread propaganda and decieve the gullible.

They should continue, if dolar goes up again, the prices of good will go further up. That may be the elastic limit for even their agbado supporters. Na watch we dey watch



It is no longer because of dollars, it is now because of diesel.

By the way, where are you buying diesel for 1500 ? You must be loving on the past.

Gov should open border and allow importers bring in food.

Food is expensive because our farmers aren’t producing enough. You have to address issues of insecurity, storage, diesel prices, roads, etc but they will start bearing fruits in the medium to long term.

In the interim, customs should allow food to come in to bridge production gap.

Gov should stop going to shops and tell them what prices to sell. Once goods are plentiful, they would be forced to lower prices.

Only time gov can intervene is if market sellers are colluding to fix prices. If yam sellers are meeting underground to fix prices for example, gov can charge them to court with evidence.


The borders are open.
Stop exhibiting your ignorance openly and publicly.

Mumu stop lying to your fellow gullible partners. The reserve was 34 and now it's 32. Plus another 600 Million was just added. So in essence, the reserve went down by less 1.5 Billion.
That money was used to settle debt which is one of the reasons why countries have reserves in the first place.
Stop posting rubbish lies because your Agulu packaged fraud candidate lost an election.

APC has something in common with their leadership: Trial & Error & Mendacity!

Buhari/Emefiele: "You're printing naira" From Godwin Obaseke. Of course: fg, Buhari & Emefiele denied it. It turned out to be true! Result: Hyper inflation...

Tinubu/Cardoso: Oya, float the exchange rate.... No, fix/peg it, threaten bdcs....

Tinubu/Cardoso: "You hv depleted our USD Reserve in order to suppress the actual exchange rate & their value. " Again Cardoso is almost every TV station denying it...

Nigerians: Brace Up. Make una get shock absorber! Don't trust apc

You cannot change or convince people that are fixated due to their biases and sentiments. It makes no difference.

What baffles me however is what people hope to gain as the economic situation deteriorates. I tend to wonder what people hope to gain if the rate gets to N2000.

Something is definitely wrong with some Nigerians walahi.

See mumu dropout, why not find out total amount of dollars CBN as giving to the BDC operator, does the % look like what will finish our reserves .. olodo

When will it enter una coconut head, the backlogs (debt) cardoso cleared to entice foreign investors is what depletes the reserve

However, if Cbn is defending the naira, the parallel market price should be above the official rate with wide difference, but that not the situation so how is it same with what buhari did

Whatever emiefele & buhari did, was the official rate at any time above parallel market, was the difference these thin ... are you guys naturally dumb or what

Why is this government always sounding so clueless so they want to tell Nigerians that they don't know why prices of commodities haven't come down?

Fuel price is high

Diesel price is high

Electricity is high

Then you expect that these will not directly affect the production and running cost of businesses?

Comon Tinubu you people should do better cos if it where to be in GEJ government by now you and your olofofos would be chanting occupy Nigeria everywhere.
