OluDare01:
Firstly the naira was devalued, plain and clear, it does not float freely as the naira remains a managed currency and you will agree with me that the naira was 'tacitly' devalued long ago.

CBN has always been the major source of foreign exchange to dealers in the primary and autonomous foreign exchange market and the entire reason for this devaluation is to bridge the increasingly widening gulf in the value of the naira on the official market(largely driven by fiat not the implicit value of the naira) and the autonomous market (largely driven by speculation and negative consumer sentiments)

The 'black market' will exist for 41 banned items, It simply serve as a policy instrument of import control it means if you must import toothpicks, plastic and leather you must import at uncompetitive costs...

That been said, some of your projections belong to the realm of fiction, there is no guarantee that the naira will not even depreciate further with time, Nigeria has a reserve of $29 billion and a current import bill including oil imports that stands at more than $8 billion a month and a demand backlog of $25 billion, factor in the avengers that have grinded oil production to a dangerous halt, you begin to know Nigerian reserve cannot finance 5 months of import.

The naira was simply devalued so that the government can at least use the discretionary spending that comes with devaluation to develop critical infrastructure and deepen the economic base.
That been said the value i expect to be announced will approach plus or minus a few naira the former interbank rate which is #285 and it is a matter of time before pressure on the Naira renders the exchange rate inept... There is simply not enough dollars to defend the value of the naira it is widely expected to proceed the way of the Egyptian pound as one devaluation leads to another...

Projection : first 2wks 285 - 300
Third month - 370+


Culled from the ECO101 lecture I received from Gunther6

Chai.. Abeg take am easy with us engineering students. These oyinbo too much oo

ratchy:
Visa approved at Lagos consulate early this morning

Will post my transcript later


Alhamdulillah Robil Alamin

Congrats @Ratchy. Wishing you the best in all your endeavors and enjoy your stay in Obamaland.

God, i look up to you for a day like this in this very month for a testimony as well....IJN

tomisinobm:
Lol no o. The new sat has two sections, maths and (evidence based reading and writing) while the old one had three sections; maths, critical reading and writing.

DareFadi:
No oooooooo . this not correct info.

The content was changed and also negative marking removed . .........

Best to go online and note the difference so that is you are using the old study material you should know the changes and what is still relevant and what is not relevant o

I said major difference doesn't mean that I am not aware of other differences.

For me to say major is because I saw the computer based as new innovation which was not in former and removing negative marking and making it just two section is a minor difference that are similar to former SAT

I believe you grab why I marked that as Major difference..

As a university graduate, are you saying that you filled a lecturer in the ds160 form instead of teacher

If I may ask what makes you fill lecturer even when you knew the truth that it's teacher and teacher taught you in high school while lecturer in polythenic and university

I guess an agent does that for you and now you realised that using an agent is not good and you want to do it yourself..

I suggest you come out clean so that you can get good advice..

Abeg no vex for my post but I just felt that something is not right although I might be wrong
