I am a trader in main market Onitsha. I have a shop in Popular Relief market and also Visited “New parts “ market in Onitsha today .

Despite the today’s (10th February ) deadline from the CBN, everyone in these markets are still trading as if nothing is happening. Starting from the motorists to the hawkers in Onitsha, no one rejects the old notes.

Though I'm scared, but I didn't give any directives to my subjects. They collects anyone they see.

As I type this, they have made up to #300,000 cash from today's sales while I wallow in confusion.

What is the situation in your area please, are the old notes rejected or being accepted??

N:B, don't mind my English, I'm just a trader

BossGerald:
Strong head people full onitsha, nkpor and Obosi...I see people still collecting it here, but I don't accept anything short of new naira note.

I always go the ATM queue and withdraw new notes.

BTW, even if you lose the 300k, don't worry. it's for the good of the country

Who told you they're changing ₦100 and ₦50?

In ph no one cares about the deadline. Only a fool will reject old naira notes when you know fully well that there are no new notes.

baralatie:

Will you be given the same volume of new notes you deposit on that same day?

Banks now open in Saturdays and Sundays don't forget

I think you are clueless than those you call illiterate. The supreme Court gave a judgment extending the usage of the old note till 15th of this month, and it's obvious that the nation will be in turmoil if this is not done in lieu of the scarcity and shortage of the currency at the period in time.

DeZoro:
If you have old notes after the deadline, you can take them to any CBN branch nationwide and it ll be deposited into your account.

soojar:


Am I the only one that read the CBN memo on the extension or what? because from the comments I'm seeing so far it's like people are not aware.

Let us leave the supreme court ruling aside, the CBN says the old note will cease to be a legal tender (you can't use it to buy goods and services again) after 10th February, BUT YOU CAN STILL DEPOSIT IT INTO YOUR ACCOUNT TILL 17TH FEBRUARY.

Nah.. The memo didn't say commercial banks.. After the 10th,it is only the CBN that will take the old notes... Meaning you have to locate the CBN in your state to deposit your old notes

What this means is that even if Buhari doesn't respect the supreme court ruling you can still safely take your old naira notes to the bank for deposit only (not exchange) till 17th.


We learn everyday

heykims:

Paradoxically in your area, it is the 'literates' that are accepting and the educated illiterates rejecting the old notes.
Anyone rejecting the old notes is an ignoramus.

Frankiss44:


All grade A companies in PH are rejecting it. They must have their reasons.

CilicMarin:
In Lagos! Nobody is even aware there is any dateline. Both the old and new ones are being spent.
