Nigerians React As Google Suggests One Dollar Is Now N184

A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted an exchange rate which showed Nigerian currency, Naira exchanging at N184 to One Dollar on Google.

Naija News had reported earlier that Google Currency, a software code that is designed to convert one currency into another in order to check its corresponding value, showed on Friday that one dollar was exchanging at N184.

Naija News understands that the N184 to $1 was just a glitch in Google’s software as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigeria’s apex bank, sold the greenback to Bureau De Change (BDC) operators at N357 per dollar on Friday.

This online news platform understands that the naira gained N1 to close at N358 to the dollar at the parallel market in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial city on Friday.

Moments after the news broke, Nigerians took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to air their opinions on the development.

Naija News captured some of the reactions below…

It seems Google (an insider) is in a conspiracy with the opposition to fool the citizens some hours to the general election. #VoteBuying pic.twitter.com/PhonzFNwqs
