Good news
ReplyDeleteLet the good news continue.
DeleteFor some reason, GTBank keeps giving me more and more reason to never look back. After FBN slashed me a whole 520+ naira to dollar on my 💳, I haven't peeped them again.
Now, GTBank has maintained their 320 naira per dollar on my Mastercard and I just can't stop dancing. Placed an order last night and the same thing.
Did I write this comment? First bank are robbers. Gtb is good. Try Stanbic and thank me later.
DeleteStanbic rate is the best.... gtbank rates on my dom acct is something else
DeleteThank you Anon and Ladun.

ReplyDeleteWe're getting there.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting there.. Hope it drops down to 156 or Max 160.
ReplyDeleteBroke ass bitch
DeleteWe are believing it will still come down
ReplyDeleteI pray it keeps appreciating but my fear is that this isn't a long term measure
ReplyDelete*I'm outta here*
If foreign reserve keeps increasing, it will be a long term measure..
DeleteSeeing that what hikes the price in the first place is scarcity of dollar. But will oik piece improving from 35 Nair's to 57 Naira ,this is good. And now we sell more crude. There is less bombing by Niger deltas.
So if things keep improving, it will be a long term measure. We can't stop importing in a day. It's going to take 5 to 10yrs to correct that by fixing every fixable
Good
