So chief Mgborogwu Ogwu1 of Ngaga will not be spraying money at parties any more , I don't know why I am
very happy with this new law. May be it's because nobody will be terrorizing me at parties again.
I hope my Anambra blothers will not start spraying Dollars at parties now.
Abeg make them ban the spraying of Dollars too.

I can see why this country is struggling to get on its feet.Reasonable mortals shoud be applauding this corrective step by the CBN.But alas,some are kicking against it;others liking their posts.
It's only idiots and immorally inbred people who abuse their nation's currency with such condescending amusement. Or,idiots who have fallen below the ordinary level.Whether they are educated or ill-educated,they become immorally misplaced once they do this.

SoNature:


It is Nigerian currency

It costs Nigerian government a lot to destroy mutilated cash

Even before CBN accepts that damaged cash from banks, the commercial banks pay some form of tax, that's why some banks reject damaged cash

I know that laws don't work in Nigeria, but I'd love to see this one work

It's only in Nigeria that people sell mint (new wads of note). Indeed, a lot of crazy things happen here. But this policy, if fully implemented, will run those people out of business.

majamajic:
Na today ?

how wedding wan sweet without spraying money ?

so if I wan spray 500k, I will put it in envelope and go give to couple ?

Naija problem is not about spraying money, but one president enter and print N100, N200, N500 and N1000. before his first 4yrs in office that's what we suffering till today, his name is OBJ. Make una leave Jona and Bubu alone.

Nuzo1:


No mobile court will collect any bribe from you if you do as instructed by CBN.

So, the lawlessness usually starts from the person who breaks the law by spraying money on the floor.

These rules are very simple to observe.

Ogaini:
Some of our laws are simply ridiculous and annoying. Is this our major problem? Can you spray if u don't have?
Concentrate on proffering solutions to our economy problems.
Those stealing our monies with impunity are the ones abusing our naira.
After all, the law is dead on arrival.

CBN bans spraying of money In parties across Nigeria, says those caught are liable to be jailed of pay 50k fine


A new directive from CBN says mobile courts are now to summarily try those bastardising the national currency, the naira. The committee said those who “spray” naira notes at parties risk going to jail for six months or earning a fine of N50,000 after trial by mobile courts that would be deployed nationwide.



Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) spokesman Isaac Okorafor said the police and the Ministry of Justice would be involved in the operation, adding:

“If a celebrant is dancing and you spray him/her, you may go to jail from the party venue because the law enforcement agents will be there, waiting to arrest you.

It is the duty of law enforcement agencies to catch offenders and take them to court. Our collaboration with the police will intensify as we move to implement the mobile court for offenders.”



Admonishing Nigerians on how to use cash as gift, Okorafor said: “If you want to give, put the money in an envelop, and give it the celebrant. Let’s know that anybody hawking and writing on the naira will face six months in jail or N50,000 or both.”



Managing Director of First Securities Discount House (FSDH) Merchant Bank Mrs. Handa Ambah said people selling naira notes would be punished.



She said: “We need to let them know that this is money. The fact that you cannot spray money at parties does not mean that you cannot put money in an envelope and pass it to the celebrants.”

@Ugosample,you're right.It was my people, the Yoruba, who started this nonsense, but they've injected the whole nation with its virus.
We should do away with cultures that project us as idiots or people who don't know what they're doing in the eyes of the world.

IbrahimDamola:
But walahi, I dey shame to spray money for occasions sef. I prefer to put am fo envelop dey go my way. Everybody must not know I'm a millionaire na.

Ugosample:

why would the cbn even tax the commercial bank for the damaged notes??

What kind of useless country is this bikonu?

It costs them so much to print money bla bla is no excuse
how about improving the e platforms and mobile money and other platforms like that to reduce drastically the dependence on cash?

I thank God at least when last i was in Nigeria, the POS culture and the *737 transfer culture is taking shape, but we need to do more

elsewhere, you might not even need to carry much cash sef
all the payments you make that day, from transport to food and every other thing can be done via transfers

but my shameless $hithole country of origin is still far far behind

Even Kenya has done wonders with their m-pesa so much so that even market women have embraced that innovation
but in Nigeria?

You do know you can use the same energy applied to the second bolded for the first. I dont know where in my statement i indicated I'll bribe a mobile court.
