So sad how we mismanaged our economy and messed up our financial system.
Greed and corruption killed us.
Other countries had stable exchange rate for decades. But ours is a pitiable and sorrowful one.
Devaluation never helped us .

The sudden change in the exchange rate in 1970 and 80s is not entirely down to what Nigerian government did.

However, it is more of a result of the American government taking control of its currency exchange rate, which is against the rules stipulated by Bretten wood's convention after the world war 11 in 1944.

The rule maintained that all countries should have a fixed exchange rate policy which was tied to the dollars, the dollars itself was then tied to the price of gold.

However, the Americans unilaterally diverged from the rules starting from 1971 because they claimed that the rule was hurting their economy.

Thus, America abopted a more flexible exchange rate based on the principles of demand and supply.

This policy continues to hurt countries like Nigeria who literarily imports almost everything as other developed countries also adopted similar strategy.

Nice one.

Next let's do the value of crude oil,the volume of sales, our foreign reserve and our debt in naira and dollar, during these timelines side by side the exchange rate

Those are the real comparisons that will show the full picture of what happened in nigeria till date

When I was young, naira was still above dollar. During my grandmother's time, around 1915, naija money was equal to pounds. God punish every Nigerian leader that helped to destroy our currency
