Dollar against naira: Reno Omokri has taken to his Twitter page to advise Nigerians to learn to save in currencies other than Naira. This is due to the depreciating effect of the Naira. In his words, he said,
”If you had ₦1 million in your savings account in January, it was worth $2250. Even if you got the highest interest rate Nigerian banks give you, your money would be worth ₦1.1 million today, equivalent to less than $2k. Stop saving in Naira. You are losing money”.

Our total debt is currently ₦38.5 trillion. Our debt service to GDP ratio is 98%. Yet Buhari wants to borrow ₦12 trillion more. Naira cant sustain its current value. It’ll have to be MASSIVELY devalued. Save yourself by saving in dollars, or be ruined by Buhari!#RenosNuggets
