A lot of people don't know that this man is one of the richest anambra men around. He owns the most successful indigenous oil servicing company in Nigeria and should be one of the very few indigenous companies in the oil and gas industry that had offices in the three major cities of Nigeria.

Let me do justice to this based on the lay man macroeconomics I learnt in school. Unemployment rate is the single most importantfactor that affects a country's currency(naira inclusive).when more people are unemployed , the population becomes poorer and the central Bank embarks on monetary easing measures like reducing interest rates and printing more money. Some crude measures like giving out cash to cushion poverty e.g tradermoni were embarked upon in Nigeria. This weakened our currency. Besides, it also feeds into a lower CPI or consumer price index which will be discussed under consumer confidence. On balance of trade, a country that exports more than it imports has a positive balance of trade and vice versa. The currency of such a country appreciates and this is because everybody wants their product. Therefore , they get foreign currency as a result and convert it to their own currency thereby raising the demand for the local currency and ,thus, its price. It is the reverse for a country that imports more than it exports. Nigeria currently imports almost everything. The third one is political stability. A country that is almost always changing government, plagued by wars or changing economic and government policies frequently will see the value of its currency plummet. Nigeria, for example, comes up with several policies, acts and bills frequently and most of these are anti-people and therefore impacts business badly. This leads to a lack of appetite for investment in the country hence a depreciationof the naira. Lastly, consumer confidence , measured by the consumer price index, is defined as how safe and secure consumers feel about their income stability. Let me bring it home to Nigeria. Currently, the populace(who are the consumers) feel that their jobs are not secure and their income is often eroded by the increase in the price of commodities and essentials. Therefore, people are afraid to spend the money they have at hand because they don't know what will happen tomorrow. They'd rather hoard and even convert it to dollars or some other stable currency. This has a knock-on effect on businesses in that they won't make enough money and a further knovk-on on the government revenue and the economy in 6hat government won't get enough taxes from these businesses. Consumer spending is the singular most contributor to the GDP of every country. By the way, I have indepth knowledge of all these things cos I trade forex. Hismasterpiece: |

Op, here are the most important factors that determines the value of a country's currency. Any other thing are just offshoots of the factors listed below. I'll list them here and that's it. If you have any questions on how each of these affect the naira you can let me know so I'll elucidate. 1. Unemployment rate. 2. The country's apex Bank interest rate on lending 3. Balance of trade. 4. Level of manufacturing or industrial production in the country also called manufacturing index. 5. Political stability. 6. Inflation rate 7. Consumer confidence 8. A country's balance of payment and gearing Hismasterpiece: 6 Likes 1 Share |

Business / Re: Should I Open A Domiciliary Account? Why? by smeag0l(m): 10:31pm On Sep 16, 2021 |
No, Naira will not go extent. CBN will simply pass a new law converting all the monies in the domiciliary accounts to naira at the official exchange rate. OP, please I beg you, do download a binance wallet now and keep your money there to avoid stories that touch. With your domiciliary account in a Nigerian bank, you're really no different from someone who owns a naira savings account. You're just one regulation away from having your money lose immense value. diamond88: 3 Likes |

I was wondering too. Cos the keg problem for Honda ended in the 2006 series. I drive a honda that's beyond 2010 and I don't experience such. I have friends that do too. Honda accord has better internal aesthetics and fuel economy than Toyota Camry. Even when it comes to speed accord is still slightly ahead. Only the ruggedity of the Camry transmission and engine beats that of Honda accord. MARKone: 2 Likes |

There are still six unsolved maths problems in the world, each of them with a 1 million dollar price tag. This professor won't go and solve one of them. Instead, he's busy making a fool of himself. If mathematics were able to solve football then Greece won't win Euro 2004. This is instead one example. There are numerous others. |

This is your limitation. Results in school don't mean anything in the labour market these days. People can make first class by rote learning and memorization in Nigerian universities. It's the practicality of what you learnt in school that matters outside school. I was one of the most unserious of engineering students in a top Nigerian University about 10 years ago and I still graduated with a good result because I knew what I was doing. Fastforward today, none of those who graduated with better results in my class earn what I earn. Only one comes close. I was earning more than the 60k you put here when I was just teaching foreign students some engineering courses through YouTube. And this was the period between when I finished service and when I started working. I havr never had to walk into any company to submit CV's. All the jobs I've done from graduation up till today found me. Remove that veil of a good result off your eyes so you can see clearly nuel000: |

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Ibadan Job For N175,000 Or Kaduna Job For N259,000 : Which Should I Go For? by smeag0l(m): 6:56pm On Sep 07, 2021 |
And you want him to go there to work? Same road that witnesses kidnappings and killings almost every other week? Why are Nigerians so wicked and economical with the truth? OP, please listen carefully. Kaduna is highly polarised along ethnic and religious lines up to the seat of government. Also, I see that nobody is mentioning the ethno-religious riot of the 1999/2000 era. If you were there at that time , you would wish you never lived in Kaduna. Except if you're a hausa Muslim. Another thing is this: if the organisation you're going to work for is an agricultural one then, most likely, your place of work will be on the outskirts of town. This increases your security risk. Also, would you want to be flying from Kaduna to the south everytime? If no is the answer then I put your chances of getting kidnapped or killed on the road at 50/50. Lastly, I'll advice you to stay in Ibadan and count the difference in salary as the opportunity cost for security. You'll thank me later for this advice. EFGH: 3 Likes 1 Share |
