Some Civil Society organizations and residents of Benin city have blocked the entrance gate to the Central Bank of Nigeria as a reaction to the continued none availability of Naira notes and naira swap policy.

The Protesters are demanding that the central bank of Nigeria discontinue with policy and make the naira notes available for the masses.

But the central bank authority say more naira notes will be made available in the coming days as the policy is not targeted at bringing hardship and pains to the people of the country but to improve on the economy.

In the same vein, hundreds of residents of Ondo State have staged a peaceful protest along Ore-Benin expressway to register their displeasure over scarcity of naira notes and fuel ravaging the nation.

The protesters blocked the road there by causing gridlock.

The protest is coming despite stern warning from the police authorities in the State. Many travellers plying the route were stranded for several hours.

One of the protesters, Adebayo Adeyemi said the recent hardship ravaging the country is quite alarming.

“We are protesting to send a message to the government, that we the masses are suffering”.

Somebody said that Endsars part 2 is loading. That statement is gradually being confirmed. Let the cash be made available. They cannot justify this madness. Any bank that is found wanting should be sanctioned.

Why Are The Naira Notes Now Scarce? (Video)

Many Nigerians have complained about the difficulty of getting the naira notes, as POS operators take advantage of the situation to inflate their charges on withdrawals by more than 1000% in several instances.

But why are the naira notes hard to get now? Readers should take note of the fact that a great part of the old notes have been mopped up by the CBN, which leaves only a few old notes and the new notes as options. The video looks into the major means by which the distribution of the new notes is being sabotaged.

Call him Atiku or Tinubu, they are together in this conspiracy. Part of the cabal is for Atiku while the remaining part is for Tinubu. Nigerians only have Mr Peter Obi. Vote wisely.

That's why the government is working overtime to paint banks as the Villain. Banks aren't the ones who designed the notes, neither are they the ones who limited daily withdrawals to 20k. The APC complainants thru El Rufai admitted not enough money was printed

This will still teach people to stop keeping their money with the banks. I just watched a video where a bank official was being molested. The poor man lost the mother as a result of no cash. It's like he knows the banker who declined giving him cash when he visited the bank. At the lost of the mum, he was then venting his anger on the innocent banker who was carrying out the instructions given to him.

CBN started releasing these notes since last year. How come they are scarce? It shows these evil politicians bent on buying their way into Aso rock are amassing the new notes through their cronies in the commercial banks.

APC and Thieefnubu the spirits that kills at night and join the humans to come for condolence in the morning.

Let the politicians free the notes and let them circulate. We must elect a sound mind without any form of inducement.

The recent flop of their Katsina rally gave credence to the blow this redesign is giving their vote buying plans.

February 10th deadline is sacrosanct
