The recent reported attacks and disruption of the business activities of Bureaux de Change (BDCs) operators in different urban centers across the country by Government Agencies, are ill-advised and wrongly directed. Peter Obi 208 Likes 22 Shares |

the cbn is acting more like they are in competition with the bdc operators. the official rate the cbn peg the dollars is still high and most likely will result to the bdc operators selling higher. fight corruption holistically stop wattages by public office holders stop thieves, politicians who have stored monies in naira from converting them to dollars and re storing them. be a massive production exporting country . 141 Likes 5 Shares |

This is very true. The present fire brigade approach is just window dressing.

Tell dem[b] The only way to shore up the value of our currency is to move the country from consumption to production, especially export-led production, and fight corruption, which allows unproductive money to pursue the available supply of foreign currency.[/b] This is the only solution 78 Likes 1 Share |

The raid was not on bdc but on those Mallam engaged in an already outlawed activities. BDC operators were only slammed with regulatory policy so as to tighten the loop holes they exploited. The naira has been on steady gain ever since and today it's 1600. I'm sure Peter obi was the same person who clearly stated you don't remove a teeth just like that because it aches you. Corruption, underproduction are part of our problem, we aren't pleased with that but then we don't allow a new problem of negative speculation develope into a critical one because we are fighting a much bigger problem. Problem in it's self is well managed at an initial stage. 52 Likes 5 Shares |

There is no place in any developed country, that you will find trading of foreign currencies carelessly on the streets like in nigeria, both ed and uned, illiterates etc, that do not not even know the basic knowledge of economy are allowed to free-trade the currencies in nigeria. I am in of clamping down on the street trade and I am suggesting apart from the airports, every other currency trade should be done in the banking hall, every bank should create a space for a ed bdc transaction for a better monitoring.

NPFL:the fact that production is part of our problem doesn't mean if the dollar moves to 15k naira to a dollar we would accept. Yes lack of production is a problem but don't exploit us beyond our reach. Trust me if demand and supply was the major player in currency trade crisis killing our naira, there would be absolutely no seller of the dollar available at the moment as many individual would have bought it at the cheaper rate it reduced to in recent times. But then steady availability and steady decline means speculation has been eliminated and no panic buying at the moment. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

jumper524: Go to Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Rotterdam you will find their equivalent of Mallams. We have the habit of destroying people's business as a way of punishment. Government could have simply given them 2 weeks to and that their representative should bring the list of ed Mallams in their district. During a raid if an uned Mallams are seen government will fine the Mallams in charge of that area 5 million naira for each uned Mallam operating there and the fine should be paid within 5 business day or they will be prosecuted and their licence withdraw. That way the Mallams will also be part of the enforcers no business destroyed no body is being harassed, government is making cool cash and mallams are feeding their children. APC can use the idea I won't complain as long as it moves the country forward. 43 Likes 1 Share |

chisomkachy:In Nigeria, the dollars end up in the unregulated BDC market ie. The people selling currency on road sides which is an eye sore. BDC in good countries don't operate like the ones in Nigeria and they are extremely regulated like a regular financial organization. Nothing wrong in the government going after the ilegal ones. Ps: The government is using several tools. Clamping down on BDC is NOT the only approach being used. It's just one of several tools. 104 Likes 7 Shares |
