Until 2015, I never imagined we could have a more ominous president than GEJ. Here's a quick recap of what Buhari is doing to our country for those living outside Nigeria.

Three months ago, the president announced that the CBN would redesign the country's largest denomination banknotes, which is a good idea.

The naira redesign will fight against counterfeiting and cause the loot in the hands of politicians and other criminals to become useless. The new notes should also reduce inflation and stabilize the naira exchange rate against the dollar.

One thing about Nigeria is the only reason anything will sound way too good to be true is that it is way too good to be true. First, the CBN was supposed to start removing old notes from the system on Dec. 15 and introducing new ones, but it still needs to.

The CBN planned to starve the economy of cash and force everyone into using digital forms of payment in a country where half the population can barely read or write.

Some reports say the CBN slashed the 4 billion weekly cash allocation it gives commercial banks to under 750 million. This motive meant that the banks had to continue distributing the old notes alongside the new ones that were barely available.

The old notes will cease to be legal tender in less than five days, and the banks are still distributing the same old notes cos they need new ones. And our president is a naïve old man who won't listen to reason or rational advice to extend the deadline until the CBN can figure out an analytical method to remove the old notes from circulation.

The immediate consequence of all these is that by next week, our naive president will have obliterated most small businesses relying on cash. They are purposefully starving the cash economy, which will mean a death sentence for most small business owners who run cash-only businesses.

If you're reading this from beyond Nigeria, pray for us. Barring a blessing, the shambles we will witness next week will not be humorous.

The fact here is that there are advantages and disadvantages of this deadline you said the disadvantages now see one of the advantages; there are many greedy politicians out there that if the date is being extended they'll also habe more time to invest their stolen money and will still have opportunities to swallow enough.

DrAkpamudehe:


Just re-inforcing the curse below on you:

You seem to be cursed and have a serious mental problem for uttering the nonsense you just wrote. You are laughing at the tears of tens of millions of Nigerians that have been thrown into the annals of poverty and hunger. Mark my words and this date, it will never be well with you and your lineage, hardship, poverty and hunger will be your potion and that of your lineage for your next 5 generations . Fool

Lol. You know children of hate and Obi fans when they open mouth to suggest it is okay for millions to suffer horribly just to thwart one man.

Even forgetting the new notes palava, what of the free fall of Naira against international currency crippling the ability of many Nigerians to trade international thereby directly causing one of the worst and most unpredictable inflation Nigeria has ever witnessed?

Can you explain the free fall from an economic perspective? Abeg try na since Buhari is your hero today .

Everything his government does, including the reality Nigerian lives are being destroyed as a consequence, is acceptable as long as "greedy politicians" are prevented from winning elections abi?

This a President who moves with hast and dictatorial insensivity over the wrong issues and never those that alleviate the horrible suffering of Nigerians today.

The hate must run deep for Tinubu and Yorubas for you lot to be saying whatever the Buhari-led FG is doing, however cruel and dehumanizing such is to Nigerians, is cool as long as BAT is dictatorially schemed out.

Are you going to lie, if Igbo, you do not know many of your kinsmen whose businesss and livelihoods have been destroyed by the free fall of the Naira against the major trading currencies of the world? Igbo businessmen have suffered most because of the nature of their trading. Far more than all others.

Yet Igbos are the one ironically backing all Buhari, Emefiele etal do most passionately because they feel such will stop Tinubu. Same thing Igbos did backing Kanu and his murderers passionately and myopically only to gain a desolate region as a consequence.

You people only see actions and never the consequences that will surely come later.

Same for the cabal doing all we are seeing today merely to ensure the strongest, most reformational and bravest Southerner does not get power.

We saw them do same to Awolowo. Funny how nothing changes with time regarding those who are enemies of Nigeria's progress.


Ask yourself, what if Buhari and his cabal succeed? I.e they stop Tinubu and Atiku wins potentially 16 year continuous and unbroken rule for the North.

Does everything end there? Atiku will come in to lead peacefully for 8 years when the entire world knows the North moved heaven and earth, in an open conspiracy involving the abuse of power at the highest level, to retain a Presidency it has had for 8 years already?

We will see. Don't cry when you are suffering as Igbos are literally weeping blood today over the destruction of the SE that they initially cheered for zealously same as you myopically back the very punitive actions of the FG hurting Nigerians horribly today.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I have not gotten many things wrong and I will say it boldy here that an Atiku win, gotten through government direct interference to damage Tinubu, will be the beginning of the end of Nigeria.
