Where are those people who laughed at me when I started #GrowNairaBuyNaija and said it would never work? Where are those who mocked when the Naira began to appreciate and said it will not last? We have gotten data. Instead of Naira crashing, it is MTN that is crashing. Nigerians are abandoning MTN and Airtel and porting to Glo. Soon, there will be no $20 million going to South Africa and India daily from Nigeria. Innoson is getting more orders. Air Peace is seeing a spike in sales. Let us continue to #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira

Learn to conceal your intentions while you reveal your personality. You are not meant to be an open book. If people know your agenda, they can thwart it. So be a good conversationalist. Talk about many things without talking about anything. And when people ask about what is not their business, politely remind them of your boundaries. Let them accuse you of being rude. It is far better to be rude than to be ruined.

President Bola Tinubu entered office as one of the least popular, supposedly elected leaders in Nigeria's history. In two weeks, he is turning out to be one of the most progressive Presidents in our recent history, simply by his actions after his swearing in. Nigerians are not hard to please. Apart from those using politics to hide their secessionist agenda, most Nigerians seem to be happy with his performance thus far. And his popularity is high right now. Except you are not being honest with yourself. If he continues this way, even the secessionist agenda will be defeated by good governance in a way that it could not be militarily vanquished by General Buhari. For those who understand Yoruba, President Tinubu is fulfilling the meaning of his moniker, Asiwaju. The PDP and Waziri Atiku Abubakar would have been better. Whatever the Supreme Court rules, we will accept. But at the end of the day, whether PDP or APC, all we want is good governance for Nigeria.

In case you don't know what floating the Naira means, it means that the government will no longer determine the Naira rate. There will be only one rate. And that is the rate determined by market forces. This means that the more you buy foreign goods, like the ones you see in Peter Obi's Next Cash and Carry, the more the Naira will collapse. And the more you buy made in Nigeria goods and services, like Innoson Motors, and Globacom telecommunications products, the more the Naira will rise.
The immediate impact of this will be that our foreign and local reserves will rise, since the Central Bank of Nigeria will not have to defend the Naira by unnecessarily injecting Dollars into the forex market. Another consequence is that exporters and importers, as well as students, pilgrims, tourists and health tourists will no longer have to approach the CBN for allocations, since the CBN rate no longer exists. What will exist is the single exchange rate.
Also, you will be able to travel with Naira and change it for Dollars, Pounds, Euro, Yuan, etc., abroad, as it was during the 70s and early 80s before Buhari's coup against President Shagari's government.
