The Naira on Thursday depreciated further at the parallel market, ebbing close to the projection of speculators, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

NAN reports that at the twilight of 2016, speculators forecasted that the Naira would exchange at N500 to a dollar.

The Nigerian currency lost N3 to trade at N495 to the dollar at the parallel market, from N492 posted on Wednesday, while the Pound Sterling and the Euro closed at N597 and N515 respectively.

At the official interbank window, the Naira closed at N305 to a dollar.

Trading at Bureau De Change (BDC) window saw the Naira close at N399 to a dollar, while the Pound Sterling and the Euro exchanged at N600 and N510, respectively.

Traders blamed acute forex scarcity for the spike in the exchange rate.

That's a good development

I want the naira value to keep decreasing so that before next month $1 would be 900 naira

I hope and pray that Buhari will rule Nigeria for 100 years

If you want Naira to improve.......you have to earn more dollars

And in the short term...earning more dollars involves

1.Increase in oil prices up to $100 per barrel and above.

2. Diversification.

3.Accept there is no quick road out of this.

4.Fight corruption

5.Put pressure on govt....to make right decisions.

Nigerians will not earn more dollars if the government keeps shortchanging the earners with dubious exchange rate....

Buhari is going somewhere with Nigeria, he hasn't got there. By the time he's finished with Nigeria, some will curse the day they voluntarily ed his one chance bus.

Hello Nigerians, happy suffering and smiling o. By the time dollar hits #1,000.00, we'll all hit the streets and do the needful.
