My First Time Touching Dollar and Exchanging Rate(USD to NGN)!
Greetings beloved hivers, I am stunning this evening and I am excited.
Last week I touched dollars with my bare hands and at the same time exchanged rates. I have been hearing, and seeing online but never touched. I have heard about exchanging rates but I never got to understand until I did the physical/practical aspect of it.
The official rate(the exchange rate in the bank) was on the low side, #700. Another alternative was for me to take into the Naira black market where the rate could be considered, #1100. I did it and it was successful. At first, I was scared that I would be able to scale through, but it went fine.
I appreciate my boss, who guided me on how to exchange it. The calculation asked questions and knowing the exact amount in dollars demanded in the bank.
The first day in the bank was not successful because I didn't get the exact details of how it would be, you know, as a first-timer, you will get confused. So, I went home to inquire. I asked my uncle who sent the money in dollars. The following day, I went early to the bank with detailed information.
They gave me a Western Union form to fill out. I filled out the form and submitted it to them for signature and the rest of the findings before getting it dollar.
After waiting in the queue, I finally got the dollar note.
I received it with joy, putting it on my chest and embracing it. Feeling the dollar with hands🤣.
I learned a lot during this process and my knowledge about the United States dollar and Nigerian Naira expanded and my knowledge about cryptocurrency elevated. Now, I understand how the dollar is working in the Naira black market.
I was grateful for the exposure given to me by my uncle. He was happy that I was able to carry out the process. He thumbs up at me, saying, "That's my girl".
I have realized that most American workers spend more time on the clock than employees in other developed countries, and to adds up to the existing one. The Americans work harder than the other countries and they get paid per hour even though their dollar means a lot to Nigerians, but over there, they work to earn their needs.
The prices of things are too exorbitant here in Nigeria and the same thing over in America. My uncle said that people are not lazy, everyone is busy, and some people are not making money from one source. A person can have five sources of income and they are doing well. In Nigeria, it is not easy, unemployed youths are everywhere.
My experience with dollars and exchanging rates was so exciting and amazing. I don't know how to explain it again but I say it was a wonderful journey
Experience is the best teacher.
Thank you for reading through my blog!
God bless you all, I am happy and blessed!
I love, I care and, I forgive!
