Mumu don shoot himself for foot.

First, his reaction came way too late. Too late. The last of the top 4 to speak about the current economic hardship.

Pandora Anini should tell us forward thinking countries where the citizens suffer like Nigerians are suffering because their apex bank want to swap or redesign their currency. grin I don know say he's a sakamanje and a very selfish conman. I'm beginning to think Obingo is more selfish than mikano. This is the man promising to turn Nigeria to Dubai - someone who has spoken so much against the oppression, poverty, backwardness, corruption, etc affecting the country. Suddenly, the demonic economic swap is good because it's was designed to fight corrupt politicians. grin

This guys is too poor in tact and reasoning to be a politician in such a complex country like ours. Na just motivational speech - no wit! zero sagacity!

Buhari and the Presidency are saving face with "CBN gave false intel" "CBN told us there would be no problem" but the dull Pandora is telling people to be patient with the ill-thought policy. That's the presidency literally agreeing with what people have been saying that the policy is a flop grin The ode is literally saying everyone who opposed the swap policy are wrong and people deserve the unnecessary hardship. I see zero leadership quality in Obi; no wonder the Sultan of Sokoto gave him a book to read about leadership grin

The way I see it Pandora internationally kept quiet and was so happy that "Buhari was fighting Asiwaju with the redesign policy." The delusional man discovered late that he has been left behind when the presidency started piling blame on the CBN. He had no choice than to come out with that nonsense and watery reaction.

Again, ask Pandora to mention countries that are forward thinking that do currency resign like the CBN did.

People should leave social media and listen to local radio stations for a day to listen to people complaining about the hardship they're experiencing because of the swap. There is no note for people to spend. Cash scarcity. The masses are forced out from engaging in the economy. Bad online banking experiences. But Pandora said this kind of things are common with countries doing currency resigns grin

It's no surprise though. Someone who threw Anambrans into poverty because he wants to save to invest in a family beer business will see no big deal about the current hardship. Masses wallowing in mediocrity is what gives him erection cheesy


He didn't speak because he's not in agreement with Tinubu, Atiku and Kwakwanso who used to induce crowd to visit campaign grounds, bribe voters and party loyalists with money as seen since the beginning of the electioneering campaigns. Tinubu and atiku bribed their way into winning the primaries and that's no more news. Google is your friend. Nigerians are those supporting obi with their stipends. They go to rallies willingly without being coerced or induced with cash. Tell me why obi should bother himself over this.

His comment was on the Nigerians who are suffering the effect of the cbn's policies especially the unbanked and those living in the rural areas, asking the cbn to do the needful

That's not wise.
I am disappointed by this remark of his.
If he is supporting it because he feels it would actually stop vote buying,not only is he being naive,but he is distancing and alienating himself from the enormous pain and suffering this is causing.
For also an acclaimed manager of resources and an economy promoter,I am more disappointed because he should know,or at least I assume he should,that this policy alone has cost the Nigerian economy several billions if not trillions in economic activity.
It's like a South Easterner supporting the weekly sit at home,when he/she is expected to know that the region is an economic hub that is dependent on the daily business and economic activity that goes on there and not by government employment or establishments.Even some small scale business owners and market men/women depend on the sales they make daily from the few that work in the public sector,so when these set don't go to work,they don't earn a living for that day.4 of such days in the month can be detrimental to their means of livelihood.

Because he knows better. Obi is as daft as Bubu. Redesigning is not a bad thing but making it unavailable is the issue. Nobody is criticising the redesigning.
You just called him a daft and still said the same thing he said
Think before you type
In case you did not read it, he said that redesigning is good but cbn should try and make is available to people

How is Peter obi different from Tinubu or atiku? What makes you think peter obi is interested in the next generation?

How can a presidential candidate tell nigerians to bear suffering for cash in the midst of fuel scarcity? Is he sensitive to the rights of Nigerians?

How will cashless policy being implemented this way benefit us in the end?

How are bankers making it difficult for people to get new notes? Why do you need new notes? I thought you said cashless policy is the best?

Who created the scarcity of new notes?

The fact of the matter is that the G5 of Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpaeazu (Abia) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo) have almost no voters to offer Atiku Abubakar. The votes they thought they could have offered Atiku in Five of the States have been taken by Peter Obi and they themselves are in delicate political situations-Prof Jibrin Ibrahim
you are actually correct, the G5 state has been taken by obi in an online especially Twitter and nairaland

Very correct. That’s 100% from Peter Obi. The same was carried out by Buhari’s government successfully in 1985. The same was effected in India 6 years ago successfully.

It will take a little time and everything will be fine. For me, that’s the best legacy of Buhari in his 8 years and the President.

Opposition parties are the major beneficiaries of the current Naira chaos as they are set to benefit from the anger towards the ruling party. So, I’m not really surprised that Peter Obi choose political gains over the suffering of Nigerians. What exactly are the long term gain of the Naira redesign that will be lost if we don’t rush it with a deadline that’s a week to the presidential election?

It’s unfortunate that we now have politicians who choose politics over the overall good of the society. The chaos they are encouraging with the view to benefit from politically will end up consuming them all n the long run. If Buhari is sensible, the evil support opposition candidates are given the current sufferings should tell him that indeed something is wrong somewhere. It’s time to match the break now. Cancel the deadline and allow old and new notes to circulate together till June.

This one is intelligent, but because of his disappointing loyalty to anything APC and the push for satisfying self interests, it always feels like God wasted his brain by putting it in his coconut head.

Opposition parties and politicians are benefitting from it, but who brought the policy? Is it not the same Buhari whose course you championed since 2015?

You APC loyalists are currently so bamboozled that you're always sounding like drunk imbeciles on all political threads.

Use debit card to make payments

Cash should be used only for little transactions

A central bank should have control of money supply to keep exchange rate reasonable

CBN policy is good all transactions should be done by Card via POS terminal or by bank transfer

This stops kidnapping and theft and also ensures tax compliance

Printing of excessive cash for circulation is evil

There is no place in the world where people can pay or withdraw millions over the counter, it's done by bank transfer for tax and money laundering reasons

You get better sense.
Same thing I have been saying.
In those days, armed robbers usually burst people's home, wait for transporters/business people at high ways to take their money. But with reformed banking system, robbers knows people don't travel with huge Cash nor keep huge amount at home..... That trend has reduced drastically.

This new note and use of e-trasanctions will reduce corruption and kidnapping.

The redesign is not the problem; it’s the implementation. Changing a currency is common practice. Generally, the old currency can be legal tender for up to 2yrs. This stupid attempt to stop acceptance in 3 months is causing untold hardship for the people. Why not allow up to 1 year before the old currency expires. This draconian act just to punish certain politicians is unacceptable. And with scarcity of Naira, vote buying more even flourish more

Besides changing a currency confers no economic advantage. It’s simply an administrative action to Obi with this statement just shower his mediocrity on how the economy works. He’s only thinking of the advantage for his not the effect it’s having on people

Tinubu does not understand that cash is hardly used in other developing countries for business transactions, not even for the smallest amount of business transactions.
Years before now, cashless Nigeria was introduced by the CBN. Tinubu's APC during the last 8 years failed to expand the cashless Nigeria project. That's why Nigerians are still struggling for cash in a period of currency change

Just Yesterday, he condemned the scarcity of naira notes and lampooned the Govt for the sufferings of the mass, today, he took a 360 degree turn, praising the policy and asking the masses to bear the brunt. He is sure and unstable element with no definite principles. How can someone who is a major stakeholder in Fidelity bank and has an unhindered access to the new notes ask ordinary Nigerians bear the sufferings.. Such a selfish man.
