Story story
Why should the Federal Govt be managing my Dollar for me?
Have they managed the Oil Money received locally well?
Govt should face real Governance, instead of dabbling into Personal and Individual Matters!
- How many Nigerian Youths have received any Funding for development - so that Unemployment is reduced?
- How Many Farmers - have received Funding of low Interest of 3-4%- to allow more Production of Goods,since this govt came to power?
-As at today - CBN Interest Rates is 27% and who wants to Borrow Money 💰 to do Business in this Expensive manners,in Nigeria?
Anyway,it's their proposals!

Is this a booby-trap or something really nice?
It is TOTALLY unnecessary even if it works perfectly, which it won't (knowing Nig govt).
Apps provide better services at better rates.
They must first ban apps for it to make sense

One thing I sincerely like is how active Cardoso has been, more funds from diaspora surely mean more remittance stabilizing the economy, yall just criticizing the policy and not looking at the opportunities it presents
This will NOT bring a penny more from diaspora. It's already VERY easy to remit money and at better rates than CBN. Unless they ban apps

A very useless write up.

What are the incentives that FG is giving and other pay apps are not giving ?

FG is still taxing the fund ..

Lol…Perambulators still dey same same place. Dem go beg investors, abroadians, IMF, World Bank, China, Russia, UAE, etc. After money enter their hands, dem go soon start telling tall tales about how one staff member compromised the accounts to steal millions, or how computer servers stopped serving due to INEC rodents chewing the cables. Abegi, make una face front dey first fix the Judiciary, insecurity, and electricity issues with the vast natural resources with which we’re endowed. Awon OLE!

But this initiative is NOT solving any problems. It woulda made sense when there were no domiciliary accounts and apps

Great great great! Basically non-residents saving in Nigerian banks. If this pilot test succeeds with Nigerian diasporas, Nigeria may as well be on the path to being the financial headquarters for other countries' nationals.

And financial services sector is the major source of income of some number of countries in the world.

Sound initiative. Hopefully it succeeds. Mostly would depend on the trustworthiness of the Nigerian banking system, and the innovations and ease of banking with the banks.

CBN doesn't need special account for diasporal

Practically meaning you used a 'fake' proof of residence. You used your erstwhile proof of residence.

This initiative means no need to be 'fake', use your US or whatever country's residence and you're cool.

Practically any amount you wish and they charge very little or free, and at black market rate. CBN simply can't compete

Only a fool would open this account. The idea is to be able to hide your money from taxes, etc. Instead you're handing govts easy way to track you.

Tinubu on the beat.



They are all obid!ots. People who are still suffering from post election loss syndromes. Any good news always upset and makes them sad.

The next thing they start doing is to try discredit and find fault in anything the government is doing.
So after destroying the economy u expect them to clap for him cos of this?? How does this reduce hyperinflation and suffering?? undecided

The economy that has been destroyed long before now.

You don’t want government to borrow money and you don’t want to pay tax. Please tell me where the government will get money to meet all its financial obligations?

Borrowing money is not an issue but Borrowing money to do what? Look at government frivolous spending and mismanagement of public funds.
