I actually typed a long reply citing examples with explanations but that will be huge deflection from the point I'm trying to make.
Did it disappear but you expect me to read it still? Post a link if its still there!

JagabanBorgu:
This simple question will make my point.
Now, are Nigerian expats in other countries paid in Naira?[/quote]Your question is pointless.

Would any Nigerian expat want to be paid in Naira considering the difficulty you'd have paying your bills in Naira where you are in and where the difficulty of converting it, if possible, would be at the reduced official rate so you lose money?

I practically deleted it to avoid deflection.

Nigerians are not paid in dollars because according to you, there's difficulty in spending naira outside Nigeria, but we should make it so easy to spend foreign currencies in our own society right?


You can continue to cry about the policy, ur lamentations won't change it if implementation is going ahead.
When people like you talk, it reeks so much of ignorance yet you will be so loud mouthed about being sophisticated.

You deleted it then asked me to go read it when I asked you for it?

Economics make it easy to spend foreign currency in our own country (though that is still under dispute since you have yet shown me any company in Nigeria that demands you pay it in dollars). If I pay you in dollars in Nigeria though, I'm certain you would not tell me to go to hell and pay you in Naira instead.

Dude please pay very close attention. The policy does not affect me one tiny bit, since Nigeria is not passing a law anytime soon barring me from bringing dollars to Nigeria and spending it wherever I want, and if I need to convert it to dollars aboki will gladly oblige.

Nigeria needs the foreign currency, so this policy is stupid and unenforceable.

I don't remember asking you to read what I deleted.
Cutting a reply into segments like this, I won't bother to read.
Your lamentations on Nairaland won't have any effect on the policy.
