"You Can't Ban Spraying, It's Our Culture" - KSA To Soludo

 
Shariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness, they do not appear or disappear, are not tainted or pure, do not increase or decrease. Therefore in emptiness no form, no feelings, perceptions, impulses, consciousness. No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body,no brain, no mind. No color, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind, no realm of eyes and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness. You are a dharma.

funmi u don start again,  madam please stop oooooo

seguno, a more appropriate analogy in this case would be, a man is blind, deaf, dumb and has a fly that keeps perching on his face for 2 seconds every three hours. A medical team with all the ability to cure his blindness and dumbness, etc, come and kill the fly. Then pack up all their medical equipment and return home.

I can't go through the whole of this thread now because my time here is limited - I've read just the first 3 pages, and I totally agree with texazzpete, the dude is completely right.  If you want to spray money, do so decently (in trays or baskets or anything that will ensure it's not stained or dilapidated), not by stamping the notes on sweaty fore-heads, with some "ushers" or whatever picking it up and sqeezing the note at the same time (due to the volume of notes on the ground), while at the same time, some others are busy trampling on the notes with their dancing shoes.  It's simply IMPROPER!!!

Besides, it's "GENERAL ABUSE" of the naira (in whatever form - writing on the note, tearing, squeezing, yes, it also applies to the market women, conductors, etc that mishandle it) that has been banned, not just spraying alone.  KSA only chose to lament on the spraying part since that's where he realizes most of his cash. There has been a very huge awareness in the last couple of weeks in Nigeria about this new law, and no one will play ignorant when arrested.  I'm in total support of the law. The only problem I have with this though, is how the law will be enforced EFFECTIVELY.  Already, the police have been empowered to arrest those found guilty, and you and I know what that means in this present-day Nigeria.

Talking of polymer notes, even those ones are worse.  Spraying polymer notes at parties is worse that spraying paper notes.  The polymer notes are NOT durable (case study - our dear N20 note).  Once it's squeezed or trampled upon, it can hardly be straightened again, and the once fine note is left completely disfigured.

One more thing, what's all these talk about "It's not done in other countries"?  What exactly do the proponents of this statement mean?  So because others don't do it means it's wrong for us to do so?  Oh. . .  or is it until some European country enforces the same law that it will only become proper for black nations to do the same thing? Someone should explain things to me please.

Quote from Ajisafe

Ajisafe please do not tempt me. I assume this forum is meant for intelligent people and not touts and bums.  I paid attention to all your comments, which were not more than insults to people u do not and i guess will never amount to.

And please u don't  have to be telling the world your mother's trade or the accidental discharge that produced u. I guess till now your mum is still regretting it, but please do not make her sorrier.

DO NOT TEMPT ME, B/because I HAVE 0% TOLERANT FOR IDIOTS LIKE You.

        I'm targeting that  urgly son of oduduwa and tell him am into tribalistic game too.
                  Who knows where he is now shouting with his mouth wide open.
                                since he want tribal war am ready for him.

now that i am about to hammer from my wedding day sprayings     

how do you want me to recoup all my wedding expensis     

Somebody should hold me oo, am even more angered than the old school praise singer.

actually we do spray dollars here in london, even your precious naira!

Why not spray pounds sterlings or Euros? Do you spend dollars in London?

how do you want me to recoup all my wedding expensis 

people give out gifts and cash donations in the United states. spraying isn't the only way to recoup wedding expenses. why get a wedding u can't afford by the way. na by force??

   
     You don't need to turn your most happiest moment into naira collecting fund raising or launching.
            marriage is not made to recover what you spent on the bride rather to tell people you're man enough to head a family.
                 besides I haven't seen any amount of money gotten from  spraying people that can keep a family moving up to 1year if not the money the so called host made for himself.
   I personally hate spraying, it's complete economic sabotage to a nation.

  i think i support that law,i mean spraying is not a bad thing and so many people depend on that money so much especially if they know that those that will be attending their parties are rich because in a way it hlps them recover a little they spent for the party and that raises another question that why should you organize a party when u knw u are not fully not up to it?
 The money that would be sprayed could as well be enveloped and given to whoever!Really,there is more to this spraying thing than anyone knows,

Agreed. Sky blue's analogy was on the mark!!!

*Why not spray pounds sterlings or Euros? Do you spend dollars in London?*

Because 1 dollar comes in note, they can afford to spray that but 1 euro and 1 pound sterling comes in coin and they can't afford spraying €5 note and £5 pound which is the smallest denomination in notes.

This is called PRIORITIZATION!!!

Any Government that knows its onions should be prioritized!

the last time i checked, it was the responsibility of the CBN to deal with currency and banking issues.  the state of the nigerian currency is a PRIORITY of the CBN. go scream at the ministry of power and energy if u want the power issue solved.
