HealthRe: How Much Does It Cost To Replace A Tooth In Nigeria (pix) by Strafudeen: 8:19pm On Mar 06, 2024
ADJUDICATOR:
The cost of a dental implant is dependent on the number of teeth to be replaced the, Types of Teeth (Molar Incisor's etc.), The environment where the dental clinic is located as well as if there are underlying oral conditions involved.
you can buy single implants and parts for one case at a time at N100,000, renting the kit and motor until you can afford it. A single implant placed and restored costs about N350,000 to N600,000 in Nigeria (Due to inflation). Location: Abuja MSDI dental implant.

That's what I am saying...

If the banks provide efficient ATM services, we won't have the need for POS operators. Banks should be attacked and not pos operators.

It's more like cutting the head of a snake. Before now, there were no POS and enough cash was in circulation though there used to be queues. But with enough efficient ATMs, the queues can disappear.

Bank MDs are the problem.
Pos came to solve a banking deficit.

Like paracetamol comes to treat headache.

When paracetamol starts causing liver toxicity , it has to be withdrawn


If pos were to ever become an issue in trying to solve an earlier issue , they will also be tackled

A very jaundiced view, and a most mo.ronic action to target the supply side of a demand and supply issue.


It's like saying that banning the sale of satchet water would reduce the thirst for water.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with BDCs.
Over the 40yrs or so, they had become a necessary and essential part of our economic system.
On the other hand, the banking system is perhaps the biggest problem in Nigeria over the same 40yrs .
The BDCs perform an essential service that Nigerian banks have refused to do - provide forex liquidity to the economy. Banks are 100% complicit in every act of corruption in Nigeria, yet neither the banks nor their managements are ever humiliated or punished.

Now, let's look at secondary school economics 101.
If you cut off the steady supply of forex to public that demand forex, that would automatically create a forex scarcity, which also automatically lead to much higher forex prices. The higher forex prices continues to fuel more speculation and even higher prices.
Secondary 101 is too high.

Start from your primary 3 social studies.

Tell me the basic needs of the society and whether forex is one of them, and why you can't live without foreign goods and foreign currency

The POS became a problem because people in the CBN stopped supplying banks with cash, so the POS operators found it hard to obtain ordinary cash that used to be full everywhere on demand across the counter. Simple demand and supply I learnt in primary 4.

Many POS operators were sleeping in filling stations to buy their cash and resell to needy people on the streets, and its not cheap to buy.

Punishing the POS will be wrong, without punishing the people who starved the system of cash. You go after the cause of to problem and not the symptoms!

I don't know how hard it is to learn simple economics.

Peter Obi should save his breath, many Nigerians lack the capacity to understand simply things.
Just accept that even good medicines can have a side effect.

When a side effect becomes life threatening, you discontinue the drug.

BDC ain't the problem but the bank MDs are.

Let me give you an instance using our Naira BDC (pos Operators). If we have ATMs readily available where we can get needed cash, would we have much need for pos operators?
If the bank make cash available, not much will be going to pos to buy naira.

Same goes with bdc, if the bank ain't riddled with much bureaucracy and dollars are sold to verified needed hands, this rates would have been under control.

Efficient vetting of dollar buying, monitoring its usage by the buyer and ensuring the dollars are used for the stated purpose for buying it can help control the rates.

Let banks begin to sell dollars but at a vetted, controlled and monitored process.
The truth is even POS CAN become a problem in certain situations.

And if they do, they must be fought.

Didn't we see them become a problem in the cash crunch erahuh

You have tried based on your understanding of the issues.
However you must know that Nigeria is a very unique country. They system is flawed and deliberately too to allow criminals, currupt politicians and public servants to profit and thrive.
Not everything you see is as it appears in Nigeria.
Now if the system wasn't flawed the BDCs were simply licensed to provide forex services to the public where for some reasons they cannot use the banks.

They were not meant to be the first option for buying and selling of forex. The banks have the primary function of meeting the forex needs of MDA's, commercial and private customers with the CBN auctioning forex to the banks on the opening of business everyday.

Because the CBN is able to match the deman for forex on the official side, BDC rates will not be too far from the official rates cos supply is there.

However that's not the case. CBN currently cannot meet the demand on the official side
and also via the banks. Regular customers cannot buy dollars from banks so they have to recourse to the BDC.

Now those people I mentioned above including the bankers now exploit the system, they access dollars via CBN and the banks and sell them to the BDC at a profit. That's what Peter Obi mentioned as unproductive excess supply.

The BDC guys add their own markup and sell to the public. The demand is higher than supply to the dollars value goes up whilst the Naira value comes down.

The middle class that have savings in naira panics and rushes to the BDCs to buy dollars and store to maintain its value.

BDCs want more profit so they speculate and fix prices. It works because the official market has low supply. The available dollars is moped up from the official system and sold to the BDC, rince and repeat( Round tripping).

Meanwhile, Nigeria is still dependent on imports, oil production is down, no forex coming in. So supply is low.

That's why Peter Obi is saying going after the BDC is ill advised. Fix the the source of the problem, the symptoms would disappear.
Thanks

Yeah but the problem still has to be solved.

Long term solutions leave us all dead in a short while.

Quick fixes are necessary.

Not just BDCs , if we have to place a moratorium on foreign imports, and payments for a while so be it.

We have to grow this economy if we are not to die.

Foreign goods, schools, etc are good, but can be done without.

We are in that dire emergency, let us pull out all the stops now

You spoke against people running to BDC to clear their dollars, meaning that if you have your way, you will block banks so they cannot do that easily. That's a way of locking the banks, blocking free trade.
Nope never meant that

We should never run a system where people can have foreign currency to such a tune as to threaten the economy and security of the nation.

Money supply is critical.

The CBN regularly mops up excess liquidity.

But with these rogue dollars out of reach ,you just can't control money supply.

These BDCs are the confidence people have to stash so much, knowing its easy to change or launder.

The CBN wouldn't be so lazy or ignirant in undermining national economy as to do what BDCs do

Respectfully you're wrong. Fixing the economy and shoring up foreign reserve should be the real fix. Focusing on quick fix won't get us nowhere. You will get the needed results but it's all wash. Not gonna last


Targeting bdc should be the last menu and also providing a system that can weed the wrong guys out. Not shutting them down completely
