internationalman:
Please could you be kind enough to tell me the name of the App

erico2k2:
Tetrad.Lemfi, there are thousands

erico2k2:
The Microeconomy only Benefit the immediate circle of those who run it, i n your case, if you send your Dad money, it benefits you direct family. However if you send a car to your Dad it benefits the Macro Economy.
The Apps we use to remit money to 9ja are registered in Tax Heavens ie UAE so they pay no tax to the FG
Anyway let me stop here.

armadeo:
Again I disagree. As long as money is being spent and earned everybody benefits.

The money arrives. You cash out you buy bread. Seller makes money baker makes money.

Baker buys meat , butcher makes money. Butcher pays transport , transporter makes money.. you see how it goes.

These funds injected into the economy have a widespread reach beyond your immediate family.

2.4 billion dollars is a lot of money and it affects the country that's why the government is aware of it.

5m out of 220m japa. Why not focus on the remaining 215m. This obsession is getting tiring . For everyone that japa there are at least 5 available people that can be trained to replace them except for doctors. Make una rest

erico2k2:
How does the remittance help Nigeria as a country rather than small individuals or family and friends of the sender ?

Racoon:
"....A situation where Nigerian leaders take advantage of a condition that is costing its economy more in terms of human capital does not augur well for our future.

The energy the government is putting in to attract more remittances could also be used to put the country in a better state that will help reduce the number of young Nigerians the country is losing on a daily basis.

Irrespective of how much Nigeria gets from diaspora remittances, it is time the government stops and improves on the issues chasing the country’s best away."

DesChyko:
Preventing wider scale unrest.

Observer210:

The tragedy is all of the best minds are lost. It is the aspiration of the best of us to leave.

Please say this loudly. While Nigeria has economic challenges, many of them are artificial and Nigerian-made.

Nigerians are building houses and charging rent in dollars.

Nigerians are paying school fees in Nigeria in dollars and pounds.

Nigerians are spraying dollars, euros and pounds in Nigerian parties.

Nigerians are buying clothes, shoes and necklaces in dollars.

Nigerians are even paying for professional courses in dollars. Someone told me ICAN charged them in dollars and I was flabbergasted that a professional body that should know better and advocate for the right thing to be done was charging foreign currency in Nigeria. Teacher no teach me nonsense

What do I know? Even when the CBN banned dollar under Buhari, Buhari's child still sprayed dollars.

Nigerians pay for medical services in dollars.

Nigerians pay for wigs in dollars.

Nigerians spend dollars in election campaign. All political parties are guilty.

Even their president has not been in the country for 3 weeks now and he is obviously not spending the Naira.

What a country of foolish people who want to live like they are abroad but they are not there but they keep oppressing themselves with another man's currency 🤡 How can the naira grow? The man who gave the Nigerian policemen money was decent enough to spent naira. How many Chinese do you see ogling over the dollar or pounds? I don't think Nigerians will be happy to find out $1=7.3 yuan. As long as a dollar is in thousands of naira, they are happy. Many people trying to japa are only lured by the conversion craze but they never ever compare to the expenses of living abroad or the cost of social amenities. Nigerians love and worship money and it's not for anything but bragging rights.

We like to look at another man's food and never like our own. If only we were competing with the abroad in infrastructure and quality of life, I would have said it's a good thing but most of the conversion to dollar is a crab in the bucket mentality to show others that they are above them. We are very confused and we need leaders who will realign our consciousness. For now, we are the black ants without a leader. Our leaders are not so different from us in this craze for dollar and anything foreign. It's psychologically demonic.
