It’s mostly doom and gloom in Nigeria today. The naira has taken a further hit at the parallel market, and is currently trading at 445 to the dollar; the effect of it being that cost of goods – like math set – has risen greatly, and Nigerians are not finding any of this funny.

There's no point raising taxes or selling assets if it will be used to simply pay salaries or on another naira fixing wild goose chase.

Folks Naira has lost value so let's do trade-by-barter. For instance I shoot a commercial for your company and you give me a new car. Thanks

Only a few months ago, Naira was exchanging to the dollar at 200; today it is approaching 500. How do we arrest this drift..

Can the president and his troupe of economic advisers put their heads together and come up with a solid economic policy thrust that will stem the tide of economic hardship in the land?
