Rexyl:
The idea of mini importation is already fading as most importers have been compelled to stop the Biz.
Mehn I was considering mini-imp oh, but when I saw the exchange rate I had to forget about it.

Curvinus:
1. Demand and supply. If more people are demanding the dollar for importation and you do not have enough in your foreing reserve to service these needs, the currency will become scarce and expensive, meaning you will need more of your local currency - in this case the naira - to buy a unit of the dollar.

2. Of course, if your economy is structured in such a manner that you do more of imports, you will have a negative ballance of trade/ballance of payment and this leads to unemployment, currency devaluation and all the other problems Nigeria is facing.


2. Why would we want to raise the value? So you can use your N10,000 salary to buy a brand new car based on an artificial value created by the sale of oil. Of course this is not sustainable as we would be back to ground zero if the price of oil falls again. We need not be obsessed about the value of naira to the dollar. Rather, we should be thinking of how to produce what we need and be immune to whatever happens in the monetary market.

4. See above.



5. We were producing what we needed then. The regions were self sustaining through agriculture. But Gowon's counter coup laid the foundation for the destruction of Nigeria's economy. Oil became our mainstay and the 12 states Gowon created became more or less, glorified military formations fed directly by the FG. We lost our incentives to work hard and oil boom made sure this madness continued until what you have now. This is why you have calls for restructuring our fiscal federalism.
Thank you so much, believe me I now understand better. But what are the solution to the problems ?

To answer your question in brief, we need dollars to buffer the naira.
Our dollar supply has fallen. In brief, thanks to the fall in oil prices, we have lost about 70 dollars per barrel.....so we are not earning enough dollars.

N1=$1 back in the 1970's because in 1973.....oil prices quadrupled....as a result, we had dollars flowing in which we used to buffer our currency.Once the oil price fell in 1982....naira started falling against the dollar from N4 in 1984 to N6 in 1989 to N22 in 1993 to N89 in 1998 and so on.

At the same time, we started importing a lot in the 1970's....and continued . Meaning we lost a lot of dollars to imports. Then there are the debts we picked up too ......especially when oil prices fell...and we needed dollars to balance the books.

In short....Dutch disease.
Thanks I deeply appreciate. But another Question is this, apart from oil are there other means to earn Dollars, and why must it be the Dollar that is affecting our economy, since the Dollar ain't the only currency on earth.

Economists pls I have a question.

What causes the Dollar to Rise and Fall,
Why is the Naira losing it value.
Why can't we raise the value
Who set the exchange rate
Why is it impossible to have $1 equal to 1N as it were in the 70s
?

This is a good question

1. You have to make sure you take control of all state assets. (Radio, Tv, Airport, Electricity and most importantly the Govt house/office)

2. Begin the immediate of arrest of strong opposing figures, before you know can be a threat (this is assuming they haven't been assassinated at H-Hour)

3. Make a Broadcast, you always have to make a strongly worded broadcast, telling people not to act funny and stuff.

4. This is the most important - SIEZE THE DEPOSED PRESIDENT's iPHONE!.
thanks so much, no 4 answer was very funny. Butwhy the iPhone
