¡Holaaa amigo!😊
Tu país y el mío emplean sectores similares para la adquisición de divisas y, cuando el petróleo colapsa, la economía se va al caño de una manera bestial por ello, tenemos la lección de que no se puede concentrar todo en un solo nicho.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚
I so much appreciate 💖 the love
When we talked about the Nigeria source of foreign exchange, crude oil is always the first to cross our mind.
But not only that, Nigeria is blessed with lots of foreign exchange resources in the likes of agriculture, remittance, banking, telecommunications and more as you've discuss.
It's a pity how the handling of these things makes the country how it is today, while a proper analysis and management can boost the country better.
i love 💕 every bit.
Good 👍 luck
Thanks a lot dear
The foreign exchange 💱 mechanism in Nigeria is far better and more than what people always sees it to be.
Apart from oil, agriculture, Nigeria has more other sources of exchange,
The problem is that, those isn't being harness well the way it should and then all expectations is dependent on the oil sector which is very poor.
By proper assessment, I think this country can do better.
Good luck 🤞
