CBN Bill Bans Spraying Of Naira Notes

Looks like Mr President is bored

  OBJ is more of a movie actor than a president.
our problems are far from what we do with the naira when we get it. we should be talking about how to get the naira.
if OBJ and his numerious adviser lack what to put into laws, let them think about the electricity and water of the country which is the pillar of production and development.
let them think about the security lapses in high and low places.
if amendements in the constitution is compulsory let them think about phasing out old and over aged players from the pitch of presidency.
i suggest our able home movies producers and writters come up with a movie with Pete Edochia or Justice Essiri as a president so that every Nigerian will be convienced that OBJ is less than a screen actor in other words the afore mentioned actors can do better than Mr. confussed.
the secret of paying up our debts lays in his interest to gain the minds of international communities in supporting his third term agenda.
we are not riped as not to owe.

Regardless of what Obasanjo is and the more important things we need in Nigeria, that bill has been long overdue.

Its such a disgrace the things we subject the official currency to. Its part of our identity as a nation state yet we take no pride in it. In as much as we blame government for everything, we as individuals need to contribute our quota to make a change. The advert on the naira typifies what we do to the currency which is not palatable at all.

You know,

In my opinion, spraying folks with naira is not even .001% as bad as the following, but not limited to, scenarios:

1) Women keeping it in their sweat-filled, greasy bras

2) Suya men using it to wipe excess suya oil

3) Okada wrinkling it so bad in their pockets that by the time they hand it to you, it looks more like a handkerchief

When the money is sprayed (again my opinion, I could be totally wrong about this), it falls to the ground and people pick it up.  I have never seen the quality of those naira bills detoriorate even half as quickly as the above. Spraying money is a tradition that goes many ages. 

As one poster has said, it will take years before people take it seriously.  Let's think about it - if approved, how would the law be enforced with weddings and other occassions being held in Nigeria every hour of every weekend day?

Again, just my opinion, but I think it is a diversion to keep our minds off something else, and we all know what that may be 

As always, my 2 cents

Seriously, is there anything wrong with it? It's a show of affluence. If you've got it, flaunt it. Owambes won't be owambes again without spraying. Somebody educate me! And yeah they spray dollars in owambes too.

I think this bill is just a waste of time too.

As said previously there are more pressing things that the government needs to deal with like electricity,water, security and roads

actually i like the ban,

If you feel the urge to dole out cash, wrap it up and give to whomever you want. Throw it up in air, or on people, and pay the penalty. There are numerous vice in our society that needs attention, but this moronic culture has to stop.

Wetin baba dey talk again ?

How many of us have noticed that most grand fathers are annoying

Now you can see an example



God , help Nigeria

dumb law that makes no sense to me 

OBJ needs to get a life or go to sleep or something.
If he can't tackle serious issues and instead want to pretend activeness by forming incessant lame bills that do nothing to help Nigeria, he really should go to bed.

How's that going to raise the Naira value anyways? I don't see how that's going to stop a dollar from equaling 125 naira.
He needs to do something about that instead.

How easy is it to pass a bill like that and how hard is it to pass a bill that actually does something to the economy and integrity of Nigeria?


I think this bill if passed into law definitely will end something that's unique about the Nigerian Culture and tradition (probably the only good part to the country since the economic and political spheres are obviously dysfunctional)

OBJ has made life hard for some people not thinking of how he suffered to get to the top

That is just sad

 

@ losky, abuja boi

Spraying of money , they do it in ASO ROCK

They spray the bad bitches like hell

Spraying of money is in textbooks and notebooks

That is one of the things that defines Nigeria

The nigga is trying to steal away our culture

He wants to tell me he hasn't sprayed money before ?

Or has he never kept money in his pants ?

Nigga , pleeeeeaaaaseeeee

Naija would always be Naija , nothing can change it

In UK , In USA , they do their own things too , no  1 complains

abeg , there are people suffering out there for money , he should face that and not disturb himself with unecessary issues

haha

there are far bigger issues to be changed in Naija

Guess what

Naija will always be Naija ,,, UP NEPA

Tell oga presido to deal with that 1st

Then we can start talking other issues

 

So , when I say Naija well always be Naija , I mean until biggggggerrrr improvements are made

It can never stop being Naija

hahaha , we need to start using bus pass and rail passes as well 

@ dearzi

that's a sad story u got there

now tell me , does CBN money spraying or not help with clean enviroment , good food , money , feeding the poor , helping those abroad ,,, etc ?

rubbish

Yes, the law banning the throwing of wads of currency notes at dancers and musicians at  parties is rather silly and will be virtually impossible to enforce, BUT there is something inherently obscene about fat rich folks dancing and tossing about flurries of cash while uninvited poor folks who aren't sure where the next meal will come from look on in anguish from the sidelines.

Little wonder it is that armed robbers frequently attack such parties to help those plump, self-adulatory rich folks dispose of their throwing cash.  From this standpoint alone, a law banning the open squandering of currency stacks may in the long run save more than a few rich folks from stopping a face-full of buck-shot during such party robberies, if that is indeed a good thing.

Agreed that this law is not one that directly/ or even indirectly betters the life of the ordinary Nigerian, spraying money and every other thing we subject it to is a reflection of How Indisciplined we are.

If we pay attention to the minutest details of our environment then we will have roads repaired speedily, people burying their dead in cemeterys and not in their houses, People will obey traffic rules, their will be less litter, houses will be registered, Buildings will have fire escapes etc,  . . . . .I can go on and on but guys in Yankee aren't these the xtics of yankee.
