With all due respect President Goodluck Jonathan seems to be out of touch.

even if they share the money - people will still say they are wasting money- so, what are the priorities in Nigeria? Noone is able to say and outline how to go about it- just using the pages of the internet to vent anger, on who?

one thing i wish to chip in sha for all critics!!

is it once in 2o years that the CBN prints money? isn't it supposed to be a rolling thing to meet demand? the bad spoilt money, don't they get replaced?

im asking cos i really don't know. , , . . . . . but if in actual fact, the CB does print money intermittently, why are you people lamenting?
is it now that you suddenly realised 1 note costs $5?

as a matter of fact, e be like na cowrie we for dey spend sef, instead of printing money!!!!


im not praising the Govt, am just saying that to my mind all this talk over the notes seems misplaced

krazynaija:

So i'm hungry here and the government is printing shiny money? smh i cry for una country

What are we celebrating? I spend minimum of 15k monthly on fuel because theres no light! #LightUpNigeria n all those parades campaigns do NUFFIN!

Na wa o! Is it GEJ that will come and give you food, why don't u get on the streets and find something to do!
Too much complaining is a sign of laziness, a sign that you lack the capacity to think and grow rich!

Absolute nonsense!! In how people's pockets can u find the old one? Is it all about printing new naira notes and enriching the rich or improving standard of living of the poor populace. How does this improve the lives of the poor who are wallowing in abject poverty.

Our govt is always having misplaced priorities putting the horse before the cart. Someone needs to sound it a drum in their ears before they hear that's if they'll hear!!

My fellow nairalander,What is going to happen to the old 50 Naira polymer note?
Pls i need respond.
cus these note was just invested.

nice one

@poster, to what end? just because we are celebrating our failure at 50.

keep it up.

The fact remains that if they do not spend our money in this, they'd surely spend it in another of this ilk.

You must be a comedian or from cambodia to believe i complaining gets me 15k i pay on fuel just to sleep with fan on. n i have nuffin doing thats how i got internet access to do d lazy complaints lol

ok - Failed republic.

Go to war- declare war - or start a revolution. NairaLand is not enough medium to make any effect - noone reads it.

Agreed - but NaiaraLand means nothing to most people - and repeating news from pages of newspapers makes no meaning - if you want effect- become a rebel, like in most countries - raise your voice, become known - but repeating already known issues for merely half baked comments from people doesn't achieve anything also.

I couldn't agree less with you. We talk too much in this country, with no action to back up our words. We wouldn't take up arms either because we love life too much and are afraid to die. So we would rather live in mediocrity and complain rather than take up arms and fight for our future. This is very sad.

Nigerians and noise making, nothing is ever good, lol, haba, wetin this people go ever like?

if you give them train, them go say na old and outdated one, if u build road for them, dem go say na substandard materials u use, how many of una fit feed your neighbor for even 1 week without complaining?

for wetin am tired of seeing new money every day oh

^^^^

Then you can as well settle for the old ones.

This is a good one from the central bank.They should have circulated the money some months before the independence

The problem with Nigerians is that they don't make enough noise. They are too docile, they allow people who should be in jail to lead them. They allow themselves to live in subhuman conditions when there are no reasons for such.

And you still have the guts to call them noisemakers?

OK, with all the noises, what has it achieved? go out and act, not sit at home nagging on the internet and everywhere.

if you like, make noise from now till 2080, if you don't act, nothing is going to happen, you know how it is when you are used to a particular noise? you end up adapting to it, the politicians have adapted to the normal ranting from MOST Nigerians, so they don't care about the noises again.

So why should i not have the guts to call you and the rest noisemakers?

Why is printing a new 50 naira bill a top priority. Of all things that can be done with our resources, printing a new 50 naira bill should be last on the list.

Another useless waste of money. What a shame. Na wa men, these people don tire me. It seems Nigerians love suffering.

Instead of these leaders to look 4 lasting solution to kidnapping in the country,they are busy re desining already existing money.na dem sa bi.

What you are asking for is worst than noisemaking. You are asking they shouldn't complain so much in the face of so much injustice.

Nigeria is supposed to be a democracy, it is the right of every citizen to complain about anything and everything they wish to complain about.

So, the alternative is to keep mum and resign yourself to fate.

Is this all you could deduct from my post? you failed to see the ACT part right? , what a pity!!!

can't continue with fruitless argument, you already saw the alternative i suggested, so i won't waste my time re-typing.

Nice one but not needed. It will only remind me of the profligacy for the anniversary.

Nonsense, that was an afterthought. Your original post was Nigerians shouldn't complain too much.

^^^^^

You surely do not know what else to say again, why not quit? must you type even when you do not have any reason to?

This is a waste of Money, I understand we need to celebrate Nigeria @ 50, But we can do it in many ways, i.e we could design new Postal Stamps,


not only dat. i think d money wud ve bin invested in good rail system to combat d prob of bad roads induced accidents dat have claimed d lives of thousands of nigeria and also to build good healthcar system or reorganise the health sector so dat our docs will stop goin on strike n nigerians will stop makin india deir second home

Is it that they are not 'spending' money? nope, its about percentage by percentage cut that reduced or totally eliminate the budgeted money so that if N10 is meant to be spent on a project, with the above cankerworm, N1 or less will eventually go into it.

nice but still in politics
