I still believe that this dollar appreciation against the naira is the handwork of some greedy and mischievous ones amongst us. God go fall their hand soonest.
Like if you agree with me.

Next target is N400 - N500.

CBN move is unsustainable. The FG does not have enough reserves to prop up naira. This is a temporary relief.

The focus is not the sustainance of forex, but the push fornigerians to start producing instead of being a consumption giant. Its better now than never.

Nigerians are very predictable.

US dollars comes down to N197 and the rush to import will start all over again.

Locally produced goods? When government cannot give steady power supply nor make fuel readily available. It is all wishful thinking.

They are not trying to sustain the naira by injecting dollars, rather, they are trying to dilute demand in the short term by tightening naira supply and creating uncertainty among speculators. In the long term, they plan to support local substitutes and stimulate exports.

This is the unfortunate part. I wish there is a way the government can regulate the prices of products. Nigerians are just wicked to one another.

Nigeria's foreign reserves is about $29bn. Russia had about $400b and used $76b to prop up the rubble in 2014. Yet the rubble fell to all times low after all the efforts.

The prayer should be that the George Soros of this world will stay away from the naira saga. George Soros? Yes! The man that broke the Bank of England by trading against the British pound until the fat lady sang. In 1992, he sat on pound sterling and made $1b from the heist.

Okay for anyone who cares to check www.cenbank.org/

I for one is still sceptical about the stability of oil price but really for any right thinking NL'nder these figures are not bad

1$ : #197
Oil : $32.89
Inflation : 9.62
8miilion dollar increase external reserve.

Although this means nothing if can't be sustained.
The tricks working here are just
1. transparency
2. Policy sustenance
3. On-time Information

My mum said she was taking a walk in her neighbourhood the other day,she stopped to buy bitterkola from one mama;normally she use to sell one for ten naira,instead she told my mum it was now three for fifty naira;when my mum enquired why she said,"won ni Dola ti won " that is to say and I quote"they said dollar has gone up", I wonder! If at the end of the day dollar stabilises, I doubt it would go back to 160naira again-though I hope it does. Maybe #220 -#260 to a dollar.
