Reno Omokri Explain Rates Policy, Encourages Buying Made In Nigeria by ThatFairGuy1: 4:45pm On Apr 28
Dear Nino,

Thank you for your feedback. Please allow me clear your misconception. The Naira was never ₦600 to $1 or ₦150 to $1. Those were arbitrarily pegged rates. They were pegged by the Central Bank of Nigeria, which had to support such rates with $1.5 billion monthly.

It is just like saying petrol was ₦87. No, it was not. That was an artificially fixed price, which costs Nigeria $1 billion a month to sustain.

We had a choice. Either eliminate these unsustainable subsidies or sacrifice good roads, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure.

The principal reason why the Naira depreciates under this new regime is because our legal tender is now being floated. No longer are we wasting $1.5 billion a month artificially defending the Naira. The country's currency is now responding to the laws of demand and supply.

This means that the more foreign goods and services Nigeria imports and the less of our own goods and services we export, the more the downward pressure on the Naira.

Let me give you a few statistics on how the irresponsible consumption habits of Nigerians are driving the depreciation.

Please fact-check me. Below is what Nigerians were using the subsidised Naira to buy:

$200 million per annum on Brazilian hair that is, in reality, hair sacrificed in Indian, Vietnam and Cambodian temples. $20 million a day on MTN and Airtel. $1.5 billion annually to gamble with foreign sports betting and gambling apps. £25 million on Scotch whiskey. $75 million on champagne.

Now, what is Nigeria's single biggest import? Fuel. We spend an average of $10 billion importing refined petroleum products. That is $10 billion that weakens the Naira and strengthens the Euro (because we primarily import fuel from Europe).

Please be patient until June 2024, when the Dangote Refinery comes on stream. It will have the single most significant positive impact on the Naira since 1973.

Until then, Nino, do your part and #GrowNairaBuyNaija.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

China imports mainly fuels , ores and food but their total net exports far out shadows their imports by over a 10:1 ratio.

China is the biggest exporter of finished goods.

You people should stop giving us upper Iweaka statistics.

Iliterate, when you have a trade surplus like China , it simply means you export far more than you import.

China's imports are inconsequential since their exports far exceed it.

Besides , comparing population , you will see China exports by a much bigger margin than any country on earth.
