What crime did they commit if the dollars weren't given to them by the government?
In the first place, why should citizen's access to another country's currency determine the direct of the economy of a serious nation?
South Korean Won is very weak when compared to the USD, yet USD doesn't doesn't dictate the direction of their local economy.
Your country is a confused country due to the mediocre leaders you have.
To burst your bubble, once the forex backlogs owed to banks and international counterparts are paid by the government which is what's causing the artificial drop, the rate is going back to the moon.
ediko5: Do you advice I save the dollar in my dorm account till January?, I fear it my depreciate by January
Rate is currently unstable, best is to wait till later in the week before buying because it's likely to fall further due to the payment of forex backlogs currently being done by the govt.
I believe the fall is artificial and can't be sustained, when they're done clearing the backlogs, the market forces would take over again since your country produces zilch.

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
-,1 John 3:21 (NIV)
That I'm quiet and trying to adhere to our agreement for the time being does not mean you should be doing this.
If anything, do not post my project to score any point.
You haven't even cleared the outstanding, yet you're using the project to prove what?
Please, don't get me started at all!
Just stick to the agreement and do the needful.
Remember one failed promise (out of many) already past, this is the 2nd one. (The few payments here and there amount to nothing compared to what's at stake).
sonnie10: Honestly, I don’t know his real name. But at the bus stop, just ask anyone for directs to Ile baale. He is trained in London and an OFR. He has custmized jewelries for past Presidents
I actually know that area, hence the 'ghetto' tag. It's like the slum of that part of Lagos (Palmgroove, Fadeyi, Ilupeju environs)
sonnie10: The closet International Airport to my village is in Lagos, especially from my departure route. The Baba is the Balaa of that community, so he can’t leave that place, even with all his high end clients.
sonnie10: I bought a set from the Baba at Onipan ( He is the best gold smith in Lagos - Abbey Jewelers) #60k in 2007. The last time I took them to him to wash, he was willing to buy them back for #1.3M as at 2020
Pure hidden wealth.
My wife would rather jump cab than miss an opportunity to invest in gold.
Always telling me about the price of gold 10yrs ago and now
Very low maintenance unlike many other forms of investments
Except for theft, but almost every investment can be stolen, so it's not peculiar to gold.
sonnie10: #170M plus other fees tax and misc #20M We are almost at the #200M . Then land another #150M,
So where is the profit, with all the wahala, risk and stress, if you are going to sell all 9 units for #360M?
The house might even finish and sell out under one year.
Did you know that if you have your #350M in any CD at 5% interest rate that would be 17.5M while you sleep? Risk free! If you even shop well, some banks could do up to 10% . Giving you #35M while you take a vacation.
Imagine that same money in gold 5 years ago
A gold ring of ₦1.3m 1 year ago now priced at ₦1.8m+.
Once again, I won’t be able to say much on this as it’s not in my tradition to organize pity parties or seek public validation. Neither am I a double faced person.
If I tell you I’ll sell you blocks at N230 per block, I’ll sell the best quality and show evidences 😂😂 If I say I’ll build you a 3 floor building for N11.5m when it cost even more in other areas, I’ll do it and take pictures 😂😂
I do what I need to do and let God take care of the rest. If you say I’m something and I know I’m not, I won’t fight you, I’ll let God handle the issue.
Trust me, God is still God and he rule over the affairs of men. He is recompensing everyone according to their deeds. It just not visible to the naked eyes 👀
If God na man, na style style begging I go dey do by now or probably be changing Nairaland monikers like a piece of rag one is tired of wearing.
Floky215: You want to recovered debt from people in this hard times..!!?
Well, my advice if you are going make sure to go with an helmet and put on smart wears and canvass in case you need to run....!!
I'm not holding brief for the debtor but people don't care again these days and very frustrated and angry...asking them to pay money is inviting trouble in this period..!!
More of a fraudulent 'company', not a loan kind of debt.
