Since the announcement of the change of naira notes, many Nigerians have criticized the idea; saying, it will not necessarily benefit the economy in any way...

Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, on Friday criticised those condemning the newly redesigned naira notes after they were officially unveiled by the Nigerian leader last week.

What happened: Many Twitter and Facebook users took a swipe at the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for what they described as an unimpressive design.

But responding to the critics via his weekly column, Adesina mocked them, asking disparagers to “create their own economy.

What he said: “They have tried to deride the new notes. Oh, it’s a mere coloring of the old ones with crayon. No rigour has gone into the exercise. Kidnappers will now start asking for ransom in hard currencies. Bla bla bla.

“They have an option: refuse to embrace the new notes, hoard the old ones, and continue presenting them as legal tender after January 31, next year. They will then have to create their own economy. Lol,” he wrote.

How Nigerians felt about the change: Since the announcement of the change of naira notes, many Nigerians have criticized the idea; saying, it will not necessarily benefit the economy in any way. However, it till zap money out of the system as it costs a lot to print new currency notes.

How much is CBN spending to print new naira notes: N75. 52 billion was spent on printing new naira notes in 2019; and N58. 07 billion in 2020 respectively. However, the apex bank is yet to disclose what it'll cost to print and circulate the new notes.

Like seriously?

APC is a cancer in Nigeria.

Clown in the corridor of power

Fela call.them VIP vagabond in power

Mumu man

Good response

Femi doesn't know he is finishing his career, his public image is not a good one at all but he still keeps talking ... But can I blame a man who buries his head in the asses of his pay master, how can he see ?


He is a HOUSE NIGGER!

Problem

Just imagine how APC turned bright minds into funny characters.
Just see Femi and Keyamo
APC = change indeed


How Osibanjo managed to sound intelligent after all these years needs to be under studied.

Hard to believe this is the same Femi Adesina that criticize Jonathan's administration every now and then.

I almost forgot there's still a Femi Adesina in this government.

Where's Uncle Lai?

Mumu Femi!! It's amazing how some folks turn to dumb creatures once they start supporting Buhari.

What makes some people so stupid?

Lol.

This is what you get in a society where people are incapable of holding their elected officials accountable.

Imagine the statement of a cabinet member, worst government we have hard so far in Nigeria.we are spending billions to redesign the naira when our economy is nothing to write home about

He doesn't understand anything, so please don't take him serious

His directly talking to 5% brothers in the yeast

Nonsense

Yes o

We cannot continue depend on you

Billions spent to redesign notes in a dying economy!

There has not been a single meaningful economic policy since this government took over. Not a single one.

Why does APC so much love to scam Nigerians. Instead of them to simply tell Nigerians that they are going to recolor the Naira notes, they instead lied that they will redesign the Naira notes.

Frustration

When you lie for a guy and the guy repeats the same thing and you have to lie all over again, you become frustrated.

Buhari is frustrating femi

There's a reason why most sub Saharan Africa nations are extremely poor and backward. Just imagine what a government official is saying after the policy they implemented did not in anyway improve economic growth and development.

This is more like; do your worse, we don't care about how you feel. Like really? And some people will still vote them.
It seems suffer no dey taya some people

I thank God for everything.

Is that a joke..

The essence of making or redesigning the Naira notes will be achieved. It was a way to strengthen the Naira by forcing those hoarding money to bring it out into circulation.
Much wasn't spent on d redesigning. It was just a way of forcing more money into circulation.

APC supporters are looking foolish these days.

Just look at how they placed the Naira note upside down like they have done to Nigeria.
Everything has been turned upside down.
