"Na Dollar" by kosby001(m): 6:10am On Feb 25, 2016
It's no longer news to many Nigerians that some selective few individuals always derive much pleasure in taking undue advantage anytime the country is faced with any economic hardship. While the citizenry suffers to meet up with the nation's economic challenges, some certain saboteurs keep enriching themselves.




The fluctuation in the foreign exchange market isn't a news to any of us again. We are aware of how the dollar sky rocketed against the naira. Naira note which use to be when one of the strongest currencies in africa during the 80's and early 90's have seriously been limping in the foreign market. The increment of these currencies of necessity against the naira have actually affected more of the citizenry in the money market. Cost of importation have increased, sales of monetary note and securities have increased among other financial transactions. 




It's so sicken and cruel if some set of economic imposter now seize this medium to extort and illegally sale product at high price to average Nigerians. Economic opportunist Have been singing the song "NA DOLLAR CAUSE AM".  I painstakingly took it upon myself to carry out a small market survey. My findings were  so disturbing. The survey exposed most of the atrocities some people commit under this trend of dollar increment. For instance,a normal farmer who harvest his product from his farm and transport such to the market in little or no price insisted on selling his yam above the old price saying "na dollar don high".





What has the high level of dollar exchange to Naira have on transporters who decided to increase fare while the pump price is still at same price...am sure it's same "dollar don high". Abi artisans, craftsman, traders whom their trade have nothing to do with purchasing of items in dollar are all hiding under this exchange rate to unjustifiable increase their price of items. 





In as much as the government have their role to play in stabilising our economy, I sincerely believe and hope that we the citizenry can also contribute to grow the economy by making things comfortable, affordable and accessible for us all. Enough of this manipulation and extortion of one's sweat just to satisfy our own selfish interest. Stability can only occur in our society if we the habitant of such environment realise that making things easy for oneself is just the only way of obtaining healthy cohabitation.





If we could protest for unjustifiable increment of electricity tariff, I believe it will be fair enough to shun any attitude leading to unnecessary economic discomfort for every nigerian. Making nigeria great again lays in our hands, let unite in prayers and hope that all this hardship shall pass soonest. Good bless the federal republic of Nigeria.
