    I suspect the operators of Aboki FX deliberately manipulate the black market rate. You may need to watch closely.

    They steadily move their rates – most times, days ahead of the actual market rates, by playing on the knowledge that its site has become popular

    Is black market a legal platform to access forex? Why is it quoted and referenced to even by the apex bank as if it’s recognized by the relevant laws of the land? If the parallel market is not a legal trading platform, the government should outlaw it immediately and save the naira and the economy from its disruptions and confusion.

      My dear your reasonings are very apt and correct.
      This is Nigeria! The country that doesn’t play by the rules.
      If people from certain sections of the country were to be at the helm of the black market then the laws of the land will be used to stop them.
      Those selling FX in major cities are the untouchables hence the law is silent.
      The things happening in Nigeria do not happen elsewhere.

    It is nice to know that you have a Research team that includes Dr Adeyemi Adebayo. Simply reporting average exchange rates for the different foreign currencies leaves one wondering about the Size of the dataset (n count), range of the data (high/low), and the standard deviation (s). Could these be included to make the data more useful to your readers?
