Some Nigerians are actually wicked more than the politicians

On a normal market, Naira gaining or winning about goods and services should at least take a month before taking effects. Because those business people always have stocks that can last at least 1 month with no exaggeration.

But in Nigeria, the same day the dollar rose is the same day they will increase their price without interested in bringing it down again even when dollar fall.

Average Nigerians are opportunists

You don’t blame the market women buying and selling blame customs for still exchanging $/1400-1500#.
As a farmer you can’t sell cheap when you can’t afford to buy 5 cups of rice because it imported .

Olayemi Cardoso is working

Dull people will say he’s defending with our reserves when he’s not even sold more than $45m to BDCs but they will fail to mention that he paid $7bn in FOREX backlogs

If Obi was president, the economy would be in turmoil as he would have retained Emefiele and not had the balls to arrest the President of Miyetti Allah or change the service chiefs

Oil theft would have doubled and insecurity would have increased in the NE

I think I share ur resolve and school of thought...... judging from the way he talks Nd jesticulate I strongly feel obi's performance will be so abysmal......Good luck Jonathan pro max .....he will be so loyal to some idiots called cabals and king makers .....and not firm and authoritative......the northern elites will capitalize on his meekness and override his veto thereby sabotaging his govt with conflict ......the ipob things will begins to show off more since to them their bloder and tribesman is in power ....he will maintain strict contractionary monetary policy and fiscal compliance thereby bringing massive deflations in the country ......tunubu is not refined or ok at all but peter obi will not bring in any positive effect .....before u argue make sure ur sound otherwise face front

SlavaUkraini:


One Bastard even told me that he cannot reduce the price of brake pads because he bought them while the dollar was close to 2k

That it would take up to 3 months before prices will fall because that is when new shipments bought at current dollar rate will arrive...

Na so the guy take Colonize me and I pay for the brake pads..... As if I had a choice

Opportunist indeed...

No need to call him a bastard....this time is actually a terrible time for importers and business men....you can imagine your stock value depreciate by over 50%.
With time, everything will be balanced and we'd all be happy

If the highlighted is affirmative it means the govt as to step up in its regulatory role, I see no reason why Price regulatory agency can not be revamped to subdue the opportunist & greed mindset of typical Nigerians

Besides Nigeria is said to practice a Mixed economy, fate of Nigerians shouldnt be left completely in the hands of Private Sector

Initially I was rooting for Obi but I swear reading this changed my mind set . You are so intelligent. You are very right . It’s all about good governance

We are approaching planting season when people will invest their disposable income with the hope of making profit or having food. That will slow down demand for imported goods and further the strengthening process of the Naira.

Can you produce at the rate of 1,700 to a dollar and sell below production cost just because dollar has crashed to 1000 or below?. production is continuous in the manufacturing sector. If they bought raw materials at 1,700 to a dollar and set the cost of their final product at 2,000 for instance, and they have loads of that raw materials in their warehouses, they must first exhaust those ones before producing with fresh ones bought at reduced imported costs.

Before the naira's strength could have some positive impacts, we will enter june or july.

erniok:


It has nothing to do with petrol. Keep your ears down. Some of them in market has agreed not to sell below a certain price not to incur heavy losses as they imported when dollar was 1,800, some at 1,600 or less. It would take new imports at say 1,200 to really crash prices.

It's really a bad time for them and us, citizens of an import dependent nation.

Glad you put it the way it is

How is it a bad time esp. when Majority of the traders have form a resistance and refuse to drop price .... when dollar reduce, it is then omo igbo know say it will take 3months for new shipment to arrive,

But as selfish, inhuman and wicked as traders are, if dollar jump to 1500 today, by evening the whole market will increase there price again, all that talk we bought stock at 1900 will disappear ... naa another theory we go hear

What i found funny the most is, every trader in Nigeria or every stock in warehouse was bought when dollar was 1900 ... xchange rate that didnt even last 2 weeks haba !

You're not normal I should jump into which bus? The one that is driving you to nowhere?

How has the reduction in dollar price helped the common man on the streets in nigeria?

Don't blow biggi-biggi grammar for me abeg, just tell me how the dollar moving from N700 to N1,900 and then back to N1,000 has helped the basic common man on the streets of nigeria today

Shikena!

You're not even ashamed that after 1 year of your tilumbu's misrule the only thing you're happy about is the jumping upandan of the dollar to naira rate

After 1 complete year shame on all you Agbad0rians
