Naira’s Winning Streak, Why Dollar Is Quietly Losing Its Grip This April

On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, the Nigerian Naira continued to gain ground in the foreign exchange market as trading began with an emphasis on reducing the difference between official and informal values. The local currency continues to benefit from consistent control within the official window and a balanced supply of foreign money after a comparatively stable start to the week.

During early morning operations, the Naira was quoted at an average rate of 1345.47 per dollar on the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM). This reflects a marginal appreciation compared to the closing figures of the previous session. Market data indicates that the Naira touched a brief high of 1345.87 before settling, as interbank turnover remains healthy.

The continued stability in the official window is largely credited to the Central Bank’s ongoing commitment to a transparent price discovery process and sufficient liquidity for eligible transactions.

This comparatively quiet tendency has been reflected in the parallel market. Major trading centers in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Kano, the Dollar is being exchanged at rates ranging between 1390 and 1405 per Dollar. While the black market still carries a premium, the volatility that once characterized this segment has notably subsided, providing a more predictable environment for retail buyers and small-scale importers who rely on informal channels.

According to financial analysts, higher dollar inflows from foreign portfolio investors and favorable perceptions of Nigeria’s external reserves are the causes of the present market behavior. Monetary authorities continue to prioritize rate convergence, and the market appears to be heading toward a more cohesive structure based on current performance.

Today’s rates suggest a prolonged period of consolidation for the general population and corporate community. While the global strengthening of the U.S. Dollar remains a factor to watch, the local market’s ability to absorb demand without significant spikes provides a layer of confidence for economic planning as the third week of April unfolds.

Why I pay my tithe to street, not church – Zubby Michael

Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has revealed that he recently donated ₦10.2 million to people on the streets, describing it as his form of tithe.

Speaking in an interview, the actor explained that the amount represents 10 percent of ₦102 million he earned from  movie roles in a short period.

He noted that instead of paying tithe to a church, he prefers to give directly to those in need.

Zubby Michael also stated that he does not believe in paying tithe through religious institutions, emphasizing that his approach is based on personal conviction.

He further added that his recent earnings from acting roles reflect his current success in the industry, noting that the figure was made within a relatively short time rather than across his entire career.

“Not to brag but I am the richest actor. The last time I checked my book, I realised that I have made N102 million from artist’s fee lately. Not in my whole career but just of recent.

“I donated N10.2 million, which is 10 per cent of the money to the needy on the street.

“I don’t pay tithe to the church. I don’t go to the church. I don’t believe in paying tithe to the church,”he said.

“I only got my money back after I mentioned CCTV,” man recounts incident with cleaner’s daughter

A man has narrated how a routine cleaning day turned into an uncomfortable situation after his house cleaner brought along her 16-year-old daughter to assist for the first time.

Teen brought along to assist ends up in theft allegation

The incident, which he shared online, happened shortly after he returned from a trip and discovered that over ₦30,000 he had left in his bedroom was missing. Suspicion fell on those who had access to the room, leading to a confrontation.

“I had more than ₦30,000 in my room before I travelled. When I came back, the money was gone. I asked the girl, she said she didn’t see anything. It was when I mentioned that I had a camera in the room and would check it that she broke down, admitted she took it, apologised, and brought the money out from where she hid it in her clothes,” he said.

Cleaner’s one-year record overshadowed by daughter’s action

The man explained that the girl’s mother had worked with him for over a year without any issue, making the situation even more difficult to handle. According to him, nothing had ever gone missing in his home before this incident.

“Her mum has been working for me for over a year and I’ve never had any problem with her. She has been crying and begging since it happened, and honestly I feel bad, but I can’t continue with her anymore. This will be the last time she works in my house,” he added.
