Google “misleads” Nigerians over exchange rates, puts Dollar to Naira rate at N182
FAKE NEWS!
Last time we checked, the Naira was still N365 to a dollar at the parallel market.
Nigerians have, for understable reasons, been excited about the supposed drop in exchange rates.
Google had misled them.
There had been false reports that the exchange rate had plummeted, due to some error on the reputable search engine.
The excitement started from several twitter users, stating that Google reported the value as N182 to a dollar. They had evidences.

A quick search on the CBN portal by Newsroom, however, indicated that the value of the naira to a dollar remains N304 at the official rate.
Calm down guys, President Buhari will make it happen, but definitely not tonight.
