Western Union, MoneyGram and Others To Pay Nigerians In Naira Instead Of Dollars.

Instead of paying beneficiaries in dollars or other foreign currencies as they did in the past, International Money Transfer Operators (IMTOs) would instead pay Nigerian Beneficiaries in naira. In accordance with the new rule, banks would pay beneficiaries in Nigerian Naira for foreign money transfers made through IMTOs rather than in dollars, pounds, euros, or other currencies. According to AFRICAN Siri, the new regulation, which is based on a mandate from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has an impact on IMTOs including MoneyGram, Western Union, Ria, and rapid transfer. The CBN directive, dated January 31, 2024, states that all in-bound money transfers to Nigeria (through the aforementioned IMTOS) must be made in Naira using a bank account or in cash at the going rate in the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market. This information is based on a recent notice from Ecobank Nigeria. This platform is aware that the action is a component of the CBN's attempts to stabilise the ...

Makoko is located in Lagos, Nigeria, on the shore of Lagos Lagoon. It's thought to be one of the largest slums in Africa, with over 100,000 people living in the area. The houses in Makoko are built on stilts above the water, making it a "floating village."

AFCON 2023: Broos struggles to accept South Africa’s semi-final defeat to Nigeria.

Hugo Broos, the manager of South Africa, believes it is hard to accept that Bafana Bafana lost to Nigeria in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semifinal. The Super Eagles were under pressure at times from the 1996 AFCON champions, but they were unable to capitalise as the match finished 1-1 in both regular and extra time, with Grant Kekana being sent off in the latter. In the shootout that decided the match, Stanley Nwabali of Nigeria saved two penalties from South Africa, which made Broos regret his team's wasted opportunities. Football can be difficult at times, as demonstrated by my team's play. When penalties are called against you and you lose, it can be difficult to accept that you won't be playing in the championship, Broos said. "I believe that we were the better team in the first half; Nigeria had no opportunity and we had the greatest opportunities. They had a few chances in the second half that ended in a goal, but we made a tactical adjustment that...
