How much was naira to a dollar when your beloved PDP took over the reigns in 1999? Let me help you. It was #26 naira. By the time they got kicked out it was #216. That’s a percentage change of 731%. Meaning it X 7 in the PDP era, despite subsidy.

APC has done 640% despite floating. It’s equally bad but not comparable. Leave politicking asides, by that simple maths the # will be about the same amount it is now if the PDP remained in power despite subsidizing.

Your so-called floated naira is defended with loans from multilateral organizations and the recent appreciation is cause AfDB $1.1 billion loan

This was in 2016 when Sanusi, the Ex CBN Governor chimed in on it. Your parents just wasted money on a wrong child's Education.

Acidosis:
What's your point? Because, as far as I know, Mr. Delloite accountant has done nothing incredible to increase the so-called revenue other than take more loans than ever, tax, and transfer the subsidy burden to you, the citizens.

Do you know what's funny? Every gain he anticipated with his bolekaja policy has been fully wiped out by inflation (an unanticipated consequence of his policy). So, when they celebrate and tell you that Customs earned N50 today against N20 in 2021, you can bet that the N30 "gain" is meaningless since Julius Berger will not accept the same funding as in 2021 for road construction. It's like celebrating a 50% increment in your salary when your landlord has just increased your rent by 200%.

You're too dumb to realize that when you printed 30trillion, it will definitely trigger inflation, when farmers cannot go to farm it will lead to inflation coupled with closed borders and all these happened under the last Administration.
Hehe.. he has done nothing to increase revenue?, So, how did foreign reserves grow?, the budget was increased yesterday from 47trillion to 54trillion, was it not as a result of revenue?, illiterate. The foreign loans that is being serviced and reduced to 68%, the funds being approved for several projects are from where?. And if you don't want to pay tax, go to an advanced country and live there, their citizens do not pay taxes.

Blazetrailer:
I have never seen a more confused contradictions and juxtaposing of realities of the exhange rate systems in one shot...

Two key ones

1. That Nigeria is running a fully floated exgange rate system.? This has been debated several times here on Nairaland and all came to the major conclusion that going by the definition of a floated exhange rate system, Nigeria was not running a floated exhange rate system...all na wash.

2. That there is one unified exhange rate in Nigeria and no black market? (I stopped reading at this point) Why do they have a different rate from FMDQ and a different rate from.BDCs? Why do you even have BDCs when there are banks??

The fact that you are not aware or pretend not to know there is till a thriving black market in the forex system shows how insulated and disconneted you are from what is truly going on.

Most of nairaland folks are ignorant when it comes to issues on macroeconomic but let me school you

Nigeria has been practicing a floating exchange rate system since July 2023 this made naira drop at first to 750 but as time goes due to the higher demand for dollar it made it 1400 here we are at 1580, this is demand and supply pushing your exchange rate had it been we’re practicing a fixed exchange rate there would have several govt intervention such as what osinbajo did to manage our currency some years back but this Tinubu administration has sit back and let the market forces decide our fate, but I’m not so stupid to believe our fate is been decided by market forces alone that why I brought the concept of managed floating system which is a normal global economic standard where govt once in a while intervene in this exchange rate and it’s not a bad thing cos for a oil dependent country like a Nigeria practicing a floating system is going to cause a lot of economic instability for us, cos crisis in the gulf or Change in global oil practices can affect our exchange that’s where govt sometimes comes in to buffer these effect now sentimentally I believe Nigeria is practicing a managed float system. The difference between the managed float system and fixed exchanges rate system is that unlike the fixed the price of a currency is not been pegged at a particular where govt now pours a lot of money to keep this price at this rate but rather the managed float system only govt to intervene once in a while during global crisis or external shock

Government unifying an exchange rate doesn’t mean there won’t be black market but it will reduce the prevalence of black market, but black market will continue to strive due to reasons like demand and supply imbalance, restrictions and regulations, speculation and arbitrage,lack of access to official channels I don’t want to break this down one by one but unifying exchange is not to eliminate the activity of black market as they would continue to strive regardless but it is meant improve market driven exchange rate, increase transparency and access and also ensure strict effective regulations and enforcement e.g the DSS clampdown on this BDCs
Russia, India, Brazil also have black market just like Nigeria but it should noted that in all these countries their activities are been regulated

In 2014, oil was sold above 100 USD per barrel. No govt enjoyed this more than Gej.

Despite this, Gej govt borrowed money to pay salaries before he left.

Emefiele printed not less than 30 trillion naira to please the cabal. That was why his tenure was extended. He was padding the fx with 1.5 billion dollars monthly.

Tinubu has stopped all this naira.
