sapientia:Did Nigeria become fantastically corrupt in one year? When Oprah did a documentary on Nigerian corruption, who was president then? When The boy that cried wolf sacrificed his credibility upfront and when he was telling the truth nobody believed him A lot of people abuse Buhari daily and nobody will listen on those occassions they might be right Nigeria is fantastically corrupt country in opinions, facts and analyses How can people praise Fayose daily because he abuses Buhari, yet Fayose has not paid salaries for months and is keeping LGs fund Will Fayose allow FG to keep his state's money Fayose can write, the people in Chinese Embassy will tell their country the truth Fayose can lie that he went to China for investment But foreign nations see the lie as evidence of corruption 4 Likes |

Immorttal: It will depend on the CBN's policies: are they going to adequately fund the 'inter-bank' window? are they going to let people get their remittances from overseas in hard currency, and stop unilaterally paying out @N197/$? If not, the situation you just described above, is as sure as daylight. Too many parameters are missing to draw any concrete conclusion. |

The two tier exchange system is the best alternative at this point. There is absolutely no point allocating dollars for the importation of frivolous things such as toothpick and other consumables at the expense of dollar allocation to critical sectors such as agric, manufacturing and energy. I mean it is OK for a business man to have dollars allocated for capital importation of plant and machinery for primary production which will in turn create jobs. But definitely not for the importation of edibles like tomato paste, cooking oil vegetable oil, rice and other items that can be produced in Nigeria. I quite agree that the business environment is tough but with government investment in agric energy and real sector through the various intervention funds, it is just a question of time before this begin to yield results. We also have to play our our part as citizens. Anybody that wants to import edibles that have an alternative in Nigeria should source for dollar at the secondary market and allow the CBN/Govt allocate for critical sectors. The irony is the market has already even corrected it's self as most importers were already souring from the parallel market and have passed the cost to the final consumer hence increase in prices of essential commodities. Nigerians are funny lot. It is only in Nigeria that people spend and spend without saving and yet still expect to remain in affluence. And at the ND of the day blame the government. God bless Nigeria |

989900B:am not really into economics stuff hence ignore my "supposed" silly questions. are they going to adequately fund the 'inter-bank' window? the CBN were funding the interbank window prior to even this day until the new rule is finally implemented and also doing some hefty payouts to stabilise the unpropitous gap between our import and export market,thereby pegging the rate at $197.Now it seems a smart move to circumvent from this hefty pays thats eating on our incomes. Its apparent the banks and BDC gets their dollars from CBN until they put a stop to it due to shortage of dollars. Now my question is how will the bank and bdc source their dollars if this rule is applied.? are they going to let people get their remittances from overseas in hard currency, and stop unilaterally paying out @N197/$? no matter the outcome the bank would still buy their dollars and resell with profit so in my opinion unilateral paying out still holds,i may be wrong though |

knowyaself3:I can understand that foreign investors may be optimistic that we will devalue very soon and asuch are not eager to buy naira now. For fear that naira will soon become cheaper (i. e devalued), but what I don't understand is how does this stall on foreign investment, which I believe is not up to 15% of the stock market share outweigh the benefits of pegging the naira at 199 and making it available to key and very essential industries Why can't the foreign investors take advantage of the parallel market or even the banks whom are more than willing to buy dollars at a higher rates than the official rate. I somewhat feel this call for devaluation is a booby trap for this government, the moment they plunge into it the economy will take a drastic downward spiral, and we would be in serious trouble. If you devalue naira to 290 naira per dollar, the FG will still have insufficient amount of dollars due to low crude oil prices and many will still have to source dollars in the black market. By then dollar to naira will be about 500 naira, and things will be worse for us. What we need is to be dogged and weather the storm, the NSE is on the path to recovery, and the all share market index is better than that of January 2016, and hopefully would grow. Where Govt needs to focus their energy is in reviving the refineries, resolving issues with NDA, in return Govt can get better revenue from oil sales and at the same time generate more power due to free flow of gas. |

Goddex: Score card ma is rigged. Railway? What happened to Railway in 2015- 2016? Amechi said he didn't know we had a functional railway system...... built by someone else but nearly claimed by the charlatans... Nigerians were wise to raise alarm. Agriculture The people allowed Tomato pests to ravage farms across the nation with attendant scarcity. How much you buy tomato for stew today? Cows marched on the food basket of the nation and displaces thousands of farmers.... how much is yam today? Even the Benue state Governor's farm was not spared..... yet Agriculture was rated fair . Maybe it's because of the Brazilian grass we are yet to import, who knows. You see why Lie Mohammed got much more money in the budget than "living " sectors? 1 Like |

chigoizie7: I am with you. I agree that devaluation at this time, is not in the interest of Nigeria. For me, the government should continue to fund essential sectors from the first tier forex and others should go to the parallel market. Even, remittance of foreign school fee should be removed from the first tier. I have children schooling abroad, so I am not unmindful of the implications of this. I don't see how devaluation will help us when there is nothing Nigeria is exporting to take advantage of the devaluation. |
