About 70% of the old notes is still not in circulation hence the continuation of the indirect extortion by ourselves.

In spite of the order given by CBN on POS charges, the Road Side POS Terminal operators still take 30% or more as charges for cash withdrawals.

The CBN should as a matter of urgency approach this matter sternly by making cash available at commercial banks and also asking the staff of these banks desist from owning POS terminals for cash-in, cash-out transactions.

The masses are being exploited by these POS operators who take advantage of the present cash crunch to inflict untold hardship on the common man.


This evil practice must stop!


My guy, you must learn to do without the POS operators. There are all crooks. The best way to go now is by transfer. Or use your card ri make your purchase. What most, people don't know is Bank staff are the ones that own most of the POS you see today. But for sure, nothing last forever.

POS is an alternative but with outrageous charges.

My only question is, what EXACTLY did this whole naira redesign achieve?? Can someone really tell me one strong point? Just one? Or are we going through all of this for nothing?
It made emphasis on the fact that Nigerian law is only for the poor.If you also say Nigeria is a lawless country ,you might not be far from the truth..The rich or elite are above the law in this country..

POS merchants are not your problem.
Firstly they're not your banks. You didn't keep any money with them.

You should have gone to your bank and make withdrawal if you think its easy for them too.

POS agents don't have money in my area. If you want money, just parley with a seller to give cash at the same rate too.
Since yesterday I haven't had any cash with me. Everything I buy is transfer.

I've not done more than 5 transactions with cash since last month. Transfer and atm card has been my saving grace.

It is not a must you patronize POS operator, go into the banking hall.
All those typing from Niger republic should not contribute to this conversation. Every one in Nigeria knows that the banks (even in the banking halls) don't have money currently to give to anyone.

Both the POS operator and you that accepted to pay such ridiculous amount are both STUPlD, MAD AND IRRESPONSIBLE.

Since this BuharìCow and Eme-failure madness started, 98% of my transactions and payments have been through POS or transfer.
Anyone who wouldn't accept any of those two should go and fụçƙ themselve.
Why would I pay 30% INTEREST FOR POS? GOD FORBID!

THAT POS OPERATOR IS SUPPOSED TO BE SERIOUSLY BEATEN AND LATER ARRESTED.
AND YOU THAT PAID SUCH RIDICULOUS AMOUNT SHOULD BE SLAPPED AS WELL.

NONSENSE!

Mr man, you don't need to insult him.. mind you, not all sellers accept transfer and again, you still need cash to buy small small items

I sent someone to bank on Monday to help me withdraw 150k from UBA. The bank charged 40k on the 150k. The problem is that Emefiele and Buhari are wicked and heartless. That day was one of the angriest days of my life.

In as much it’s a condemnable act to charge outrageous rate on POS… but you guys should understand that these POS operators buy money too.
They now move from one filling station to another to buy money. They too now buy money at the rate of 100-200 per 1000

You're only looking at this situation from one perspective;

• There are some transactions that renders transfer illogical.

• Some traders also do not accept transfers due to past bad experience of fake transfers from some unscrupulous buyers.

• If you make transfer, you must add charges, which is similar to the POS operators.

• Bank networks also fails.

• What if your debit card(s) has expired & you've been unable to renew it/them due to the cash brouhaha

How much is Bank paying over the counter? 20k, so you expect a POS merchant to go to the bank to withdraw 20k? Like seriously? How many people will withdraw the 20k from the merchant before it finishes? Fuel stations, supermarkets etc are selling money to POS operators and you want them to charge you 100 per 1k? You de craze. If you want cash go to the bank and queue. Channel your anger to CBN Governor and Buhari that brought this policy. Nonsense!!!
