You are so dumb. Governors can flex muscles when the have control over CBN. Monetary matters is on EXCLUSIVE LIST which means only the FG can regulate it. Can the governor print old notes, give directives to banks, etc. If commercial banks shut down in the state, it can only affect the vote for the governor and tinubu. This action is not well thought of. eso o to oro jor

Ezeego1:
Lol,,, Their plan is to mop up the remaining old naira notes circulating... by the time they have gathered all the old naira notes you will be begging the bank for peanuts.

They are only trying to make sure there's no old notes circulating on before next week general elections.

Oluchiugo:
I don talk am before and I will still say it......All these na cruise. Check out campaign in the next few days. Tinubu fought for the masses while Atiku and Obi supported an anti-masses policy. As e dey now, Emefiele na the sacrificial lamb and nobody will be blamed further but Tinubu will be hailed for fighting for the masses. Sebi APC don save us from APC now........free credit to Tinubu, Atiku and Obi should have know better they played into their hands

IamAsiri:
They didn't say they can collect them till April 10. The president only said that the old N200 can be spent till April 10.

missuzoma:
Key highlights from the Banker's Committee meeting held today on the Naira Redesign

1. The old 200 naira will still be legal till April 10th 2023.

2. The old 200 naira and the new 500 and new 1000 will continue to be in circulation till 10th of April 2023.

3. The old 500 and the 1000 can be deposited into commercial bank just once within the 60days extension.

4. A new App will be developed by CBN to enable customer to make the one off deposit within the extended 60 days.

5. A customer cannot make more than 500k deposit within this period and it cannot be splited.

6. Customer making above 500k will have to visit the CBN.

7. You cannot receive value for the deposit immediately because the money will go to a CBN GL.

8. You can only receive value Upon remittance and confirmation from CBN.

AnyanwuSilas:
Wahala dey o, new money we no see and they still want to collect the old ones we have

seunmsg:
CBN is simply trying to be clever by half since they know the governors are already ahead of them. If Banks are still collecting the old notes, then business can still collect them as legitimate means of exchange and then proceed to deposit same in banks.

This kind of policy summersault is what happens when you try to implement an illegal decision despite the order of the Supreme Court and the very obvious hardship that citizens are facing. Kudos to the courageous governors who have ordered their residents to continue to accept the old notes as means of exchange. They are the heroes this period. Big shame on all those who are supporting the suffering that Buhari and Emefiele are inflicting on Nigerians simply because of politics. After the election, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will reverse the inhuman policy.

I said this in one of my posts in another thread. Obi is not a smart politician at all. A smart person would've easily used opportunity of poorly implementation of new Naira redesigned policy to his advantage, especially when election is few days to go. You dont support your rival policies (good or bad),hoping they are fighting one another. Who does that. How on earth someone with his kind experience be thinking a whole Tinubu, who has thousands of key stake holders across all sectors in the country won't get enough cash to buy votes? What gave him hope that Tinubu cannot win without vote buying? What made him think there won't be anyone voting Tinubu without demanding kobo. What if it is political strategy by his opposition. These are the questions his advisers or himself should have asked before indirectly supported the policy. Atiku only did the same because, he is part of the team that want to use economic hardship at die miniute to demarket APC.

He was the one that should've done what Tinubu did, imagine the praise, admiration and glory he would be receiving from people by now. Infact, he would've finally won the hearts of entire masses in the South and North Central he needed the most.

LordAdam16:
Did Buhari name Lawan?

Lawan was named by the Chairman. The Governors' wanted to hear from the horse's mouth, because a lot of people have used Buhari's name to wreak havoc since 2015. That's how Maina was being driven in DSS cars and shielded using the President's name; until it was busted.

Buhari said he had a preferred candidate and refused to name him. Who is he scared of.

If the person that Buhari personally chose was trounced at the primaries after Buhari graciously allowed the governors choose their successors, then this election would have been a forgone conclusion.

It would have been the declaration of an intra-party civil war. A lot of your principals will be fighting off DSS, ICPC, EFCC, AGF, and other presidential attack dogs. It'd be an Okorocha redux and what is happening to FFK currently. Someone like el-Rufai and Akeredolu will be barred from entering their states. Na Bourdillion dem go sleep till Atiku win, afterwards, them go sneak out through border when immunity end. Buhari would have directed his 12m voters to vote for Atiku. He'd simply call Tinubu a fake Muslim and his campaign will be torpedoed.

Some of you just open mouth wa. Buhari played into their hands by trying that shadow sh*t. Take the fight to them if you really want to. But for whatever reason, Buhari does not seem overly concerned about a successor of his choice becoming the next President. Can't say I'm surprised.

-Lord

LordAdam16:
He did not try hard enough.

He refused to name his preferred candidate.

I recall the governors imploring him to name his choice. And the coward crawled into his shell.

Now he's two-timing again like a truck stop wh*re. He should give the SGF, CDS, and IGP free reign. By 26th, Yakubu will announce Atiku and anyone wen murmur go collect.

Will el-Rufai, Ganduje, or Zulum incite violence because a Fulani will takeover from another Fulani?

All these "I belong to everybody and nobody" nonsense has gotten stale. He should set his foot down and lu le that imp. But he won't. Accidental General.

-Lord

kripen:
It really showed that Buhari, didn't want some candidates now parading themselves as presidential candidate just because they can buy over politicians. It also make sense now that president would have preferred Osinbanjo but couldn't help.

eldoradoxx:
The APC Governors can issue any directive as they wish, but it does not change anything, old naira currency has stopped being legal tender in Nigeria. Anybody that receives payment in old currency has thrown away his money.

emmyclassic:
The Cabals played Tinubu. The first plan was to half the vote from Tinubu's own region by tricking him to go for a Muslim Muslim ticket knowing fully well that south West region is 50/50 based on religion. The Cabals know 80% of Christians in the southwest won't vote for a Muslim Muslim ticket. Ask yourself this question, have you ever seen a Northern presidential candidate pick a Muslim VP even when his region is about 85% Muslim? Now they are putting anti-people policies in place to further cause more damage to APC/Tinubu.

My point is whoever the cabals are, have their own candidate. When last did you see the PDP attack Labour Party on anything whereas APC is always on the Labour party's case now and again when it should be the other way round as it seems LP has gained a stronghold of major PDP States. There is going to be a shocking coalition between PDP and LP very soon.

Atiku or Peter Obi is either going to be your next President . Tinubu has been played!!

Jones4190:
obi is confused, you already have igbzos in your hand, why not use this last two weeks to visit the place you know you have challenges? you visit Lagos and focused on Igbo areas and forgot the areas prominently dominated Yoruba, how will you win? people will take you as an Igbo agander

Agadinaagwuofe:
I really don't know why people fail to see this, but again I have come to understand human beings are fickle, all the people baying for Emefiele blood knew this is Buhari policy mandated on the CBN but they continuosly attack Emefiele simply because he is the soft target, all of them are scared of Buhari hence the unwarranted attack to Emefiele. I always ask if Buhari wasn't the person that is pushing the policy by now Emefiele won't have job but what is happening Buhari has mandated the AGF to go and defend the naira design in court. Nigeria politicians are cowards good only for melodrama, if it were in western world the politicians will be bold to call out the presidents but here many are scared to their panties but form "ultimate warrior" whenever they see less influential or powerless person

jasent:
Why are this people fighting like this? Lol,they are fighting for themselves not for the masses o,if they love masses the way they are making it seem Nigerians wouldn't have been suffering like this. Same people the hoarded the palliative? Wonders

“A Declaration that the combined reading of the provisions of the section 148(2) of 1999 constitution and Part 1, and Paragraph 19 of the Third Schedule thereof, the President cannot unilaterally without recourse to the Federal Executive Council and National Economic Council respectively give approval to the Central Bank of Nigeria for the implementation of cash withdrawal limit pursuant to the demonetization economic policy of the Federal Government of Nigeria,” the suit read.


Woah! This is even in our constitution but CBN governor made us believed he is the beginning and end of monetary policy in Nigeria.

Fowl yanch don open.

hedonido:
Buhari is a spineless, ineffectual idiot. He isn't up to anything and is just a huge tragedy. If he wanted to stop this dangerous animal called BAT, he should have prevented him from getting the APC ticket in the first place. He is the fucking president for goodness sake. Even GEJ and Yar Adua would have easily put their feet down in that position. Allowing this disgusting BAT to railroad him into getting that presidential ticket and then later putting the whole country into this currency swap mess just shows how weak and pathetic this useless mannequin of a president is. I'm beyond appalled.

Just look at how low the country has descended... It is now a banana Republic where anything goes. The Federal Government initiates a currency swap program and decrees a deadline, yet a governor (of the ruling party for that matter) is openly decreeing otherwise!

At this rate, if the election can't be free and fair in order for none but Peter Obi to take over, then it is time for the military to scatter this useless 4th Republic and dismantle everything. Since we all want to be mad.

unclejb2:
no matter how you want to look at it, Obi is far better than the rest candidates.

God is about to redeem Nigeria from the clutches of the wicked

rollykotex:
Hi all, I just need some advice from experienced people in the house. My visa expired on the 30th of January 2023. I have applied for a renewal which is not out yet my biometrics is in the 9th of February. I told my employer on the 30th of January that my visa was expiring that day but I have submitted another application.
Naso wahala start. Calls from head office HR, that I currently don’t have visa and cannot work. They immediately put me on leave without pay starting from 31st until visa is sorted. I gave the HR my application reference number for them to carry out chef themselves, them no gree. Meanwhile I was the one that informed my manager just to be safe. It was not as if they reached out first that my visa was about to expire.
The latest one now is that they set up disciplinary action against me that I don’t have papers to work in the UK. I’m confused because everything just went out of proportion. The email I got says I can attend with a trade union or a work colleague and that it might lead to immediate dismissal and all.
I just need heads up on how to tackle this and if I really need to take someone with me for the disciplinary action.
Thank you all.

fubsy:
In as much as I respect all the presidential candidates, I do not like the way Tinubu approaches his campaigns. He insults and disrespects other candidate. Rather than rely on the strength of his manifesto, he insults Atiku, Obi, and even governorship and deputy governorship candidates like Funke Akindele. His approach is petty.

OmichaelO:
After months of self learning (upskilling) and plenty rejection 😂😂😂.

I have gotten a Job o. IT support!!!

At last, this can be used as stepping stone to get proper UK experience and progress further.

VaselineCrew:
Nice one, now imagine this time 36 states.

That would be 360MW of renewable energy. No excuses like, no gas or pipeline burst, bla bla bla.

As long as the Sun is shining, there would be power.

If each state had been building one of these per year, right now we would have had 4GW of power cumulative, just from renewable.

This would take some stress away from gas turbines, and in combination, would lead to more steady power supply.

sulaak:
Those Northern states hold 87% of Nigeria's poverty and the majority of the illiterate. Infrastructures in the land of extreme poverty will be vandalised by the poor. Until Northern Nigerians invest in education and health care for all, all that infrastructure will end up like the Abuja -Kaduna railway.
