matex97: Majority of these miscreants don't even have accounts with the banks that they are attacking. They want chaos and anarchy to become the order of the day in order to go on a looting spree.
I recommend shoot at sight for such people once they are caught in the act of vandalizing any bank.
Nwaezeudo: You all are not serious! No vote buying! 1000 and 500 naira old notes are no longer legal tender. You all APC wicked souls should get that into your thick empty skulls. Ndi ala!
tuoyoojo: If el rufai tell you guys to spend ur old notes and to ignore FG's directive and the deadline has passed , your money becomes useless in your hand, I hope you would go and meet el rufai to change ur notes for you
We were given 3 months to go to the bank but people decided to the stubborn
E Don cast now
If Buhari cannot obey court order why should people obey him, especially Governors?
Ezeama400: So it's true that Tinubu is a political liability without a monetary inducement..
He was never an asset as we thought!
See how his footsoldiers are running helter skelter like headless chickens crying for help..
Indeed, Tinubu is an overrated clown with nothing upstairs !!
I'm not a Tinubu man but this policy is crippling businesses, mother's at home don't have access to their own money and they are hungry. You people want to increase crime shey? No worry, una go see am
azpekuliar: My brother I no dey suffer anything oo. In the last two weeks the amount of physical cash wey I don hold no pass 5k and wetin I don spend pass 100k so wey the suffer come dey? abi you see me dey run kiti kata dey go Supreme court Baba, make I clear you anything wey I no fit use POS or transfer pay for, the thing no dey important me. As for governors calling bank managers, CBN mopped up over N2.1trillion naira from circulation and only released 500bn in new notes into circulation that is why even the old notes scarce. The CBN will not flood the banks with the new notes even though they have it. They will release it to them in a controlled manner. The politician will not be able to lay their hands on the new notes or old notes in the kind of volume that they want for election purposes. Na why dem dey run kiti kata upandan to court.
Oga, I do POS and I have over 1m old notes with me. I feel for people when they pay 2k for something they could get for 100n. As for politicians not having enough access to the new notes, that's not true. I live with a politician and I can categorically tell you that this man have enough new notes with him. People are suffering, Tinubu has nothing to lose here believe me
azpekuliar: Tinubu the new note no go still reach you to stuff inside your bullion vans. Nothing wey Supreme court go do for you on the 17th.
wetin go happen on the 17th? I de laugh you. Since this nonsense policy, you don see Tinubu queue for any ATM or inside bank? The man has connection everywhere. Now make I ask you, if Governors ask bank managers to bring cash Dem go say no? No be stone age be this na. Na you go still suffer am
APCHaram: Fool, I have over 50k hanging in the name of transfer for purchase of petty items and was forced to pay twice either with another bank transfer or with new notes I bought for 1k for 10k notes.
And FYI, even when I get a reversal , the thieving banks never refund the cost incurred in using their useless app.
Is that not flat out robbery ?
The guy na fool. He's practically saying that if I go to buy raw food stuffs from one mama in the village I should transfer to her as if mama knows what bank is.
Googledotcom: I did not go to work today because I don't want to be stranded on the road. I only have 1k old note left in my wallet.
Only 1k? Wetin 1k wan buy for this economy? Hungry go kill you oo. I have over 1m old notes with me. I will not deposit shi shi anywhere not after what I suffered the last time and let me see how someone will tell me the cash is not acceptable anymore in this country then they will know that everyone is not an illiterate.
Don't believe everything you see on social media until you make your findings and you're convinced about it. Social media has caused a lot of damages in our society today. By the way, if someone is doing something against the law why not approach the court?
kennyz247: in Kaduna, people are even been arrested for not collecting old naira notes ds money...it's still heavily acceptable in Kaduna as I speak.... CBN has no choice than to extend the expiration date for old notes.. if you have old notes,keep it well, otherwise you will cry heavily to have even the old notes, remember it's weekend and deres no any new note available even at the bnk
exactly. I'm just waiting to see anyone who will refuse to take the old notes from me here in Rivers State when I want to buy something. I will take whatever it is I want to buy and leave the money there
Lemos14: The way the CBN is behaving is really confusing...are the old notes still going to be a valid legal tender till the 15th or it becomes invalid tommorow because I'm not understanding again
Deadline kill them. I should go and deposit the money I have and then use what to feed exactly? Banks here stopped paying both old and new notes long time ago.
If these ones no carry gun then na waste of time and resources be this... You don't expect someone with stick and koboko to chase after someone with AK
Toneypen247: These criminal sects are only egoistic and appear to show concern when the policy affects them directly.
We must get it right.💯
How did it affect them? These people will stay in their houses and Bank MDs will deliver money to them in bulk . Have you ever seen a politician queue at the ATM before? Na me and you go suffer am.
Greedy banks selling it to highest bidders and our politicians
Allowing our politicians to have their way..
And this whole policy was intended to ruin the plans of vote buying But no matter what. It is gonna curb it a little
used almost 3k to withdraw 20k this morning
No problem
I will sacrifice for my nation
But what matters most is that tinubu plans be ruined
And for we masses lets suffer so that we will do away with tribalism this time around and do the right thing
Heard banks are even paying people with 5, 10, 50 naira note. I was so happy infact let them add coins to it
You're wasting your time. Tinubu will be in his house and loads of cash will be delivered to him, it's you that will queue that I feel for. Lagos State Governor and other APCs Governors will order for this money and it will be delivered to them.
Una de make noise. Bank workers have POS business hence the high charges. They will give money to their sales boy/girls in bulk then come to the bank and pay customers 5k via counter then customers will go to their POS in search of bigger cash then they'll pay high. It's simple
Ladiesdream: My tenant said he can't send his rent due to this. Many go lie using this unfortunate situation, I woke up last night to make transfer and it went.
Most people should use night so that traffic no go much day time, while banks should think of upgrading their services.
I transferred money to someone since yesterday night and the person is yet to receive the money for a successful transaction oo.
Urchinpainer: Senators think say them dey wise. Emefiele allowed old notes to come in, the new note can only go out through ATM. .... They will need 10 years to withdraw the money they need for vote buying unto 20k levels ATM is paying per day.
Emefiele is a Neck presser I swear. Imagine coming to withdraw 100miliion over the counter and they tell you "sir, based on CNN policy, we can only give you 100naira notes or 50 naira notes . You will need 20 bullion vans to carry the money!
Oga forget this thing. You don ever see politician stand for line for any bank in Nigeria? You don ever see any politician for queue for fuel station? This thing wey you see na me and you go suffer am
LocalStandard1: Today, this evening is the first time I am holding the 200 Naira note as my own. I saw it with people but never owned it to give it a good scrutiny.
Holding this one now and giving it an up close look I have to say, I approve of the new 200 Naira. Even though it's only a change of ink, this color change fits it perfectly well and I love it.
It's the best designed Nigerian currency for me, and pictures do not do enough Justice to it.
