YonkijiSappo:
This administration has been able to gradually shore up our external reserves even in the middle of an oil price crash, while the previous ineffective buffoon and his 40 thieving cronies left external reserves at virtually $0, right in the middle of an oil boom...

Maybe that was because they saw no sense in allowing a $ to exchange for #500?

its simple logic...

the FG is pumping more money into the forex market & its only natural that reserves drop.

the problem here is that PMB's Social Media Idi*ots are too daft to know that this was the same scenario in the past that led to the depletion of the reserves coupled with massive payments on subsidy.

the plan is to keep the reserves at 30b and spend the excesses on defending the naira. There would be a fall in our reserves once the price or our output of crude drops, nevertheless, the plan is a good one, not the best, but a very good one.

And what if it dropped marginally?

Does that mean it would continue to do so?

CBN'S intervention is a palliative and not a solution.

All you complainants I still continue to ask you what you do to bring in Forex or is that the sole responsibility of government ?

And Dangote has about $12bn(40%) of this to his name. Bill Gates is far richer in monetary terms. Na waa o! huh

I have been against this new policy from the beginning... Build ur reserves to 120 billon before I start this thing ...by then our local manufacturing would have taken shape ..we won't die if we don't school abroad ..or eat/use foreign goods

120bn? Dude just Stfu. The plan is a good one. Wouldnt be suprised if the reserves increase the next time the report is made. Just chill, there is no cause for alarm.

It's expected as a result of recent CBN policy.

Let's hope the militants won't take to bombings again.

Tompolo is enjoying a break from EFCC wahala and the foreign reserves has enjoyed steady rise too cheesy

You claimed external reserve was at zero during the ineffective buffoon time but you didn't know they were defending the naira.

I don't know which the average Nigerian on the street will pick: external reserve of 100billion and high prices of goods and services or external reserve of 10billion with lesser prices of goods and services

In your desperation to defend ineffectiveness, you are blundering.
External reserves fell drastically because Jonathan usurped everything to fund his failed second term campaign.
He was busy distributing raw dollars to stakeholders in different regions around the country.... it had nothing to do with hi defending the Naira,.

Nice strategy.

They mop up the economy in the name of building reserve; citizens groaned.
They come back to deplete the same reserve to improve the economy; citizens marvel at such profound brilliancy!!

I'm on the side of depleting reserve because as gbegemaster has opined, "
Savings is for people that are alive."

Too many have died.

Do you know how much $$$ SLS spent just to defend the naira. Sanusi spent billions of dollars defending the naira.

Just Google it. I remember a story about how cbn spent over $26bn defending the naira in 2013.

Both parties distributed raw $$$ during last election.

almost all the great nations of the world are small largely homogeneous nations, Singapore was just a sleepy port when it broke out of Malaysia yet today it has surpassed Malaysia beyond description.saying that there's no other financial hub in black Africa is denying the economic and development miracles taking place in Ghana, Botswana, Angola south Africa etc. even the Liberian dollar is now more than three times more valuable than the naira.disintegration is the option out or we would continue downhill in this mess.

And is Ghana a homogenous country? ??
Is South Africa a homogenous country? huh

Nigeria's disintegration will not solve anything, neither will it change the people overnight

What will change Nigeria is if we change ourselves, and the way we reason
