PDP is just as dumb as they come! If APC has 22billion old notes, I'm sure they have their own new notes already exchanged by the CBN! They are both thieving parties but the one that has Emesiere, the cabal and Bubu's support shouldn't whine this much! Tueh!

Darren95:
So cabals had to sacrifice Nigerians using naira redesign in an attempt to fight tinubu as claimed by Obi supporters.

Obi supporters are in for a big sh*t

On Election Day, they will bribe Obi supporters and their parents with new Naira note.

The new Naira with the politicians will be use to buy your vote as you are so hungry for the naira but can’t access it. Hahaha

Wow Tinubu is really the Jagaban Hahaha

And Tinubu has the banks in his pocket.

Who Dey suffer now

My students are saying they are so desperate that they are going to vote for anyone that give them new notes! They have made people more vulnerable to vote buying by hoarding the naira

Biodun556:
Some people are still insisting that Emefiele is on the track

I'm sorry to say, but they are thoughtless people! My colleague that travelled to Anambra for a field work is lamenting seriously because she said she doesn't even have the cash to move around for her interviews! So she's just sitting at home frustrated. I've been trying to buy airtime for 2 days but no bank network. We are just not ripe for this stupid cashless economy

But you won't provide for the common man? It is well

If I buy 50 pure water, I'm expected to use POS? By the time the pure water seller and buyers calculate bank charges, they will understand what hit them.

treesun:
They will extend it!

If it's not by at least 3months, they should just keep their extension! The hardship is too much! If he stupidly extend by another week or 2, we will be in the same trouble because that money will still not come out! They simply have no plans to print more to encourage cashless transactions or they simply lack the capacity to print enough notes!

Midehi3:
And who said they have no money

And who said they have enough money? I have a banker friend who broke it down for me and it's really scary! CBN mopped up the old notes but they are giving them new notes less than 10% of what their customers need. Tell me how they can avoid getting into trouble with customers!

Mikespecialone:
So you don’t believe banks are hoarding the new note for their selfish desire ? Those criminals selling selling the mint note never got the money from CBN, they got it from the bank

The CBN created this unnecessary scarcity in the first place; let them deal with it first. Once they return to status quo in terms of naira distribution and customers can walk to any ATM booth, make withdrawals as usual, without the crowd, desperation of customers will be eradicated and boom... nobody to sell the naira to again! No more "na buy I buy the money too" from POS operators

joshmoy:
The car stays with my friend normally. My friend came visiting for three days and brought the car.

You co-bought a car with a friend? Is it for business? I hope you have legal documents showing sharing formula in case of disagreement in future! I won't advise anyone to do that in naija

Guys should direct their anger at CBN and not ordinary bankers who haven't been given enough new notes by the CBN

ryloy:
Over 50 per cent of Point of Sale operators have closed their shops as scarcity of new and old naira notes bites harder, it has been learnt.

The National Chief Aggregating Officer of the Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria, Hussein Olanrewaju, who made this disclosure on Monday, said the impact of the ongoing shortage of new and old naira notes had worsened the plight of their members.

While noting that agents should be given preferential treatment in access to the new notes, he lamented that some Nigerians had taken advantage of the situation to charge unreasonable fees.

He said, “Operators are licensed bodies that provide platforms which agents leverage on. Currently, agents do not have any preferential treatment to deliver this service, hence, m

Very greedy folks

It's no news sir. I've said it several times that bubu is just using his brother-in-law to rake in some quick money. Emesiere in his desperation to help Okowa and also punish Tinubu has also turned himself to a pawn in their hands!

oikirodah:
The assertion that the regulation will prevent vote buying and harm the APC's chances is false; every political party engages in some type of vote buying, hence it impacts every single political party and can never be limited to one.

Gbam!

Before election: "I'll build you a Mansion"
After election: "where will I get the money from?"

Polithiefcians and promises they don't plan to fulfill

real777:
Nigerians are too weak mentally and not intelligent at all. They allow people cheat them because they too believe they will cheat the next person by inflating the price of their goods or service & at the end of it all, they remain in circles. Why will a normal functioning citizens allow POS agents to cheat him with 10% in the guise of withdrawing your hard earned money? Majority of the POS outlets are owned by the so called greedy and selfish bankers.

The day I finally realized that nigerians love to suffer in the hands of their oppressors is this common response in local parlance "waiting we go do na. We go still buy am even though the price change from #200 to #2000 over night. We no go eat our money na. Hunger and disunity among followers are the weapons politicians uses to hook nigerians in the throat & is working well. Nigerians love food so much that you can call a few among them to disorganized an entire group. ENDSARS is an example. Resilient in Nigerian is not courage but stupidity.

I hate POS & I have never put my life in a position to use them. I still wonder till this moment how I survive in Nigeria without a single stress despite the fact that I don't even have money nor beg. I leave within my means & no faking life.

You can say that till you need cash. Today, I tried to transfer 15k to someone without luck, the POS transaction wasn't successful either. I desperately needed the goods, I decided to look for cash. I was asked to pay 1k for 5k. I said no and dropped the goods in anger. Right now, I'm regretting it because I had to go to ShopRite to buy the same quantity of goods at almost double the price I got it in the market earlier!

First, it was a laudable punishment for the masses in the hope of a better future lol ..now that they've realized it's a wicked plot from the pit of hell, they are hanging it on APC. Politrics and cheap propaganda... accusations and counter-accusations

Never say never! Who will ever believe that POS agents will have the nerve to ask people to transfer 12k to receive 10k? This is Nigeria and shit happens

muykem:
Lazy youth and hatred filled IPOB.

Now I really believe they are driven by hatred! How can anyone be happy over the current situation? I was asked to pay 1,000 to collect 5,000 today at the market! My colleague went to Onitsha since Friday, she is stranded there because of bad network and cash scarcity. Why must the petty traders be sent out of business because they want to punish one man? Those supporting this useless policy are wailing in silence

jumper524:
Make this man put him leg one place.
Yesterday you were praising the policy saying it has long term benefits.
Na today you wan begin speak on behalf of Nigerians. Na today day break.

Right? Guy is just blowing hot and cold over this naira scarcity issue!

No, we definitely will not!

Bubu is not under any pressure because he has nothing to offer in form of solution! He's just there, relaxed and hoping Nigerians will weather the storm as usual

GBTYO:
Fool , just this month past , the bank has raked over 10k from me just by using their app to transfer funds for payments for virtually everything.

They want to be the unwanted middle men in every transaction .

Why can't you fools see that this only benefits the banks and no one else.

Leave them...they will soon realise the weight of bank transfers on their fragile economy

Aminobrown:
If not for bad leaders, what will the citizen of a whole giant of Africa be doing in Thailand

Thailand is beautiful, Thais are friendly and accommodating, you can teach English language (if your certificate is authentic because they verify), their economy is way better than ours, cost of living is cheap and Thai cuisine is to die for! It's an all-time favorite holiday destination. I blame Nigerians going there to do drugs and all sorts of shady deals

God forbid I support Atiku! But here are links to what my candidate said:

Deepfeel:
Those in authority are doing their jobs obi has no power of the crisis until he is elected into office

Laughable

This is when he should come out and say something!

Racoon:
Why is it that only this midget that have been neighing and complaining about the CBN policy, and Aso Rock cabal.

At least he's saying something! What's Obi's stand in all of these? I remember when Deborah was killed, everyone expected polithiefcians to say something. Obi should tell us if this is good or bad

And the man chose to keep quiet and sit on the fence in the face of a national crisis

kingsways:
I mean if you already have your cash safely in your bank account, why go fight at an ATM or a banking hall? Our people should prioritise use of bank transfers and POS

It's all better for the country if a near cashless policy is adopted

It saves costs. It is expensive to print cash and expensive to process cash for people who receive large volumes of cash

Cash breeds corruption as well because acts of corruption can easily be settled without trail in cash.

Carrying cash too is dangerous as one could become target for robbers. No armed robbers will go anyone's house if the know there is no cash there. Kidnapping too will stop if kidnappers know there is simply not going to be any cash to give to them.

Instead of just complaining, let's use this opportunity to further develop our electronic payments system, which is already best in the world

Some of you just have shallow thought process! I've been trying to login to my bank app since yesterday without luck, it only allowed me to login today! A government that wants to encourage cashless transactions should look into other factors like electricity, networks, cyber security and personnel first. I spend cash abroad, in developed countries, why would an underdeveloped country like Nigeria suddenly mop up cash and force cashless policy on us overnight, in the name of fighting kwarruption?

So, you spend 5 hours today and your number is 47 and they stop at 29. You come back tomorrow to waste more hours before they finally call 47. You need 40,000 but what you can get after 2 days is 10k! I ask again, how do you guys sleep at night?

This naira scarcity is making people have scary, crazy ideas! Imagine what someone is thinking! Bubu , you are destroying people's thought patterns along with their purses!
