Secondly, why should you care what particular product it is as long as it is bringing in fx income? Are you sure you understand what we are talking about at all?? huh

Someone or some people have to be held accountable. Or, is Binance owned and controlled by ghosts?
There is a process to holding persons accountable. You can't just hold just anyone you like and make them the scapegoat - that is bad behaviour that is denting Nigeria's image in the global community. All of this is coming now because they are embarrassed that the other one escaped. Things should be done properly.

Tinubu and his team have to be creative. Your foreign reserves are supposed to be increasing, not decreasing. Huge foreign reserves build investor confidence and improve FDI.

Diversify Nigeria's economy to get new means of making USD for the country. You cannot continue to withdraw your foreign reserves to clear your remittance. Nobody forced him to take this job.
Before the current decline, the reserve had been steadily growing, witnessing a remarkable 43-day surge between February 5 and March 18, 2024, during which it appreciated by $1.28bn.
Don't be a professional sadist. You saw that there has been a 43-day surge, yet you are fixated on the 18-day slump. Why?
Business › Re: External Reserves Drop By $950m In 17 Days — CBN Report by SmartyPants(m): 7:37am On Apr 08, 2024
During the 18 days under review, the Central Bank of Nigeria made two significant announcements. First, it declared the complete clearance of the valid foreign exchange backlog. Second, it facilitated the sale of foreign exchange to Bureau De Change operators in Nigeria at an exchange rate of N1,251/$1.
I don't see any cause for alarm. The major cause is the clearance of the fx backlog. Nigeria has had a trade surplus for a while and this is only going to increase once the refineries operate fully.

Apostle Paul that wrote half of new testament never met Jesus Christ in his life time.. How can he give account of what Jesus did and say?

In Islam, Qur'an that we are using as a book of guidance was given to Only Prophet Muhammad by GOD through Angel Gabriel.
In this generation of ours, no one among us can't enter heaven except you are a Muslim.
Paul's writings are not an account of what Jesus said and did. They are teachings largely explaining the spiritual significance of Jesus dying on the cross particularly in the context of the Jewish faith, in which a Messiah had been promised.

Politics › Re: LASG Meets Community Over Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road Project by SmartyPants(m): 2:27pm On Apr 06, 2024
SmartPolician:
Can someone tell me why this project is more critical than investing that money in the almost-dead power sector? A country of 220 million is generating less than 5k megawatts of power in 2024. Instead of investing massively in power generation across the country, FG would rather splash #1.06 trillion (almost the entire budget of the FCT) on a road project where there's an existing road connecting the same route.

Many companies and businesses close shop because we have epileptic power supply, yet no government declares a national power emergency! Is it that we don't understand priorities in this country or there is a value this project will deliver that I don't see?
The FG cannot handle power. It is time for the States and private sector to step up/in.

Uchek:
Why would he need to file compensation for claims? Who gives a going concern 7-day notice that u want to acquire his land holding multi-million dollar businesses for public project?

The normal way to go in any civilized clime is enter into private discussion on the valuation of the business & how much govt will pay. right?

And if there is disagreement, the court is there to adjudicate on the issue, right? It shouldn’t even be a public affair, right? It should be strictly private discussion, right? Where in the world do you give 7-day notice to demolish a legally-owned property?
Unfortunately, that is not true. Although I don't know what you are referring to as civilized climes, I can tell you that in the US and in the UK, just as in Nigeria, the government can unilaterally wake up and take any or the entirety of your land without your consent. You will merely be entitled to compensation. Look up the concept of eminent domain.

This is not about Paul Onwuanibe and his investment because he can file compensation claims and will likely receive it. This is about tearing down a magnificent structure like Landmark, which is such a credit to lagos. They shouldn't try it.

No, they don't have to leave Nigeria to go anywhere. They are Nigerians and completely to free to protest anywhere in Nigeria over whatever they feel like. It is you who are wasting time and energy complaining about what they are protesting over when you can mind your business and protest over whatever you feel like. Very simple life. In fact you can also go and protest against their right to protest since you are so pained and idle.

It's not that easy. I have seen first hand the challenges judges go through with these guys. If they bring someone who is accused of a serious crime before the Court and the Court lets them go because the agency has misbehaved, it would then become allegations against the judge that he or she has collected bribes to free criminals. And judges can't come out and talk to the press to explain their side of the story. Is it fair?

Reacting to the allegation in a press briefing, Wike said the land allocated to Ukachukwu did not have the approval of any minister as his predecessor.

----Wike.
This must be a lie from the pit of hell. Without ministerial consent, nobody would go to acquire such massive land in Abuja and start developing on it. Let's find out if the developer has any ties to APC losing in Abuja last presidential election.
Its not possible for Wike to lie about when the allocation was done or who did it. These are public records any lawyer can access for you for a tiny fee.

As someone who sold dollars at zone 4 in the past week, I can confirm thats a lie. The rate is always above the CBN rate.

Secondly, can you tell us more...kindly explain why the demand for dollars is suddenly so low.
