Was it naira you put in the account or dollars? You put in naira and you are here complaining when you can't get dollars......was your dollar denominated card blocked?

Before voting a party

Ask yourself serious questions about the candidate. cool
Yep. He asked himself serious questions about the capability of GEJ and so he took his entitled decision; and guess what? He had six years to reach that decision which to me is not a hasty one.

Not everyone has to go your own way.

Where is lalasticlala sef undecided

+ I noticed that the handwriting of our foreign students are pathetic. Can't they write in Arial or Verdana or Times News Roman straight font. cry

+ $1,000 a month spend is a lot of money ie N200,000 shocked

+ CBN approves academic tuition overseas from Nigeria with priority.

+ Housing can be paid from Nigeria.

+ Handouts are not sold overseas.

+ Basically, you need cash for transportation (which is at times free), feeding allowance and entertainment. So that $1,000 is still too much.

+ You can buy food ingredients from Nigeria to conserve forex.

+ Clubbing is cheap.

+ I don't understand why they are complaining.

PS: where can I get a boxing glove? Its boxing day

Even students of Abia State University dont require such budget per semester.Where is lalasticlala sef grin

OK thanks

when last did you use the ATM.

I still tried mine christmas Eve and nothing was given and i am fast looking for plan B.


I guess i might just open a thread on NL for people who need naira in place of Pounds or dollars or Rands.

so we go back to trade by bata jeje. grin

This matter no funny sha ohh.
and I don't have time to play any blame game. I would rather look for a solution and let the situation work in my favor.
christmas eve...i withdrew and the day before that I withdrew...you can try to use bitcoins to get money...BitX has launched in Nigeria...a new way to receive and send from Nigeria and CBN is trying to regulate it before next year but they are operational tho...check one or two...halla!!

what are you saying huh
let me use the UK as an example as a handful of nigerians are schooling here!
the cheapest shared flat with utility will cost you 400 pounds equivalent to $700 to 800 pending on conversion rate
food and phone bills maybe £300 = $600
excluding emergency spendings and all that is already over $1000
now back to the depreciating Naira
if you convert that with the present $1= 280
where does a potential student stand?
meanwhile the pending 60k withdrawal limit is there that amounts to nigerian banks charging as much as 1k per transaction
it is harsh on legitimate student !!!

most Nigerians are very ignorant,every issue has been politicized.most looters over the years have been using this process as money laundering,the culprits wont complain because they know but the poor will always criticize policies that will help alleviate their sufferings.

Nice one.... We can't get dollar to buy yet you ban Naira Cards. OK we buy from mallam as BDCs and Banks won't sell to us, we can't deposit into the bank.

Must everyone be involved in business or get people to wire from abroad funds into domicilliary accounts before we can use the dollar cards?

Are these people not madt? angry
Isn't it funny that Banks nolonger have access to dollars,while mallams on the street of kano is selling dollars.hahahahahhahahahaaaa what an irony.what do we call this kind of economyhuh
Maybe abokinah system of government.

So basically things were terrible then and now they are horrible. And lol to your comment about fuel. Unless you are one year old, then i'll have you know that there have always been fuel scarcity in Nigeria on a yearly basis since forever. Nigerian's forget too quickly.

Na you know
..
I fuel 2 vehicles. And till this year, a month to elections, scarcity never came up.
I am doing some work outside now, I've not been paid in Nigeria and I can't access my credit card.
If you have a solution, the whole world is listening.

Solutions? I have some. But it will not solve all your problems but it is a start.

1. As a Nation, change your mentality. It is too phucked up.

2. Invest in your history. Learn about your past leaders from independence. You all forget too quickly. The fact that you can say that fuel scarcity is worse under buhari's administration is laughable. It has always been bad.

3. Move away from your over dependence on Oil. Any nation whose source of income is based on one source of revenue does not deserve to exist.

4. Start educating yourselves on taxation. Ever wondered why the most successful nations generate more than 70 percent of their revenue from taxation? it is stable and does not fall to the whims of oil prices.

5. As a Nation, change your mentality. It is too phucked up.

That's a start. Now will Nigerian's follow these common sense approach? I doubt it.

We saw a lot of improvement as a nation, which Buhari is rolling back daily .
That's why we are wailing.
As for improving the economy, we were going on a positive note in Agriculture...... hope he will sustain it..... if not then we are truly phuck'd.
Taxation only works in a well regulated economy, not a black market economy where all man is for himself.
Enough said, goodnight.

Partisanship politics is really blurring our sense of reasoning in this country. Poverty of the mind is indeed a curse.


Let us face the policy of banning of the use of naira atm abroad is not only demonic but satanic. Have we consider the implication of the policy on a wide nigerian economy and the student studying abroad? What is the palliaative measure that are put in place to reduce the sufferring that will be encountered by students and business men especially the importers?

I see the hands of the president in all of these mindless and misguided policies. There are other alternative ways to conserve the foreign exchange reserve. We are dire need of independent minded cbn governor that can stand his ground and think outside the box.

One of the dire consequence of this policy is smuggling of naira across the border to be deposited in the banks of our neigbouring countries. The gain of those countries will utimately be our huge loss.

The fact remains that this president has lost focus completely. The government through its relevant agency is just experimenting with poorly articulated policies that will end up in policy paralysis
