POS vendors are now loitering hospitals, looking for desperate people whose loved ones are sick and need cash urgently. Some are charging as much as 3k to withdraw 10k cash. This one isn’t Buhari’s fault. Bad governance aside, Nigerians are worse than their leaders 📌

I wanted to buy something of 13k. The boy I bought from tried calling the oga to be sure he's available to confirm my alert before I send. The oga wasn't picking so he took me to a POS shop just beside him.

I was to transfer to the POS operator and the operator will transfer to his oga.

Can you believe this POS operator told me to bring 1600 as charges. I almost slapped her.

Why are Nigerians like this?

Omoapena:
I don't understand this your quote, who asked for market value and how is my question related to how people get scammed...


Guy, masharator

If something is not wrong with you, you will not be pricing a car that can be fixed with 450k and sold for 3.5m at N900,000.

Even the asking price of 1.3m clearly tells anyone with half a brain to run as far away as possible

Go and pay 900,000. We will be here to read your lamentations and watch your juicy tears.

Omoapena:
When was it cleared and help ask owner if he can take 900k...


I'm seeing 2 different car here, gold and silver, which one is he selling at that price?

This is exactly how people get scammed. The market price of that car is over 3m. Make of it what you will

raumdeuter:
These CBN are just drama queens
What is 6m in what we are talking about here?

I read CBN extended the naira swap till June 2023
It will not be well with emefiele and buhari if it's true.
These people caused us pain and should not be spared

I doubt it's true. No credible news outlet is reporting it

seankafor:
watched it.. it's a masterpiece by Linda

Nearly brought tears to my cheek.. but I resisted..


Sad to learn those culprits are still walking in their various prisons after been sentenced to death

Governors almost never sign off on the death penalty.

The last governor to do it was Adams Oshiomole in 2012.

BlueRayDick:
Is it still a beer parlor gist?

Ur guy Wike just carried these guys go place wey dem no know. Now everybody dey fight their personal political battle on their own.

The fact that Ayu is the one announcing it tells me it's lies and propaganda.

Besides, this is not the first time we are seeing something like this

The real truth as usual will come out in the coming days.

Segedinho:
The naira scarcity don dey manifest small small

Someone said APC have now seen those that actually like them and not those who would have come for their mobilisation.

The APC rally in Katsina was a disaster. I hear there's no cash to mobilise people to the venue. They have also quickly postponed Oyo rally. No wonder El Rufai and Oshiomole have been moving from one TV station to another

May God save her. These looks funny to us discussing it online, those that were facing it real life wont find it funny. It only takes 3 hoodlums to turn a protest into violence and bloodshed

May God protect her

Amen o.

GloriousGbola:
Hope madam is fine. And the car too.

Yes, she's fine. They have now told them to dress down tomorrow and either park cars away from the office or leave it at home.

If I have my way she won't even go but what can I do? The salary is still helping us cushion the effect of this hardship.

raumdeuter:
Mind you both you and seankafor are not average Nigerians in income

Think back to your Secondary school Economics or Agric teacher who even qualifies as above middle class

That's why I asked if he lives around politicians because you honestly can't live around normal and average Nigerians that are getting disconnected for not paying PHCN bill of 5k or less and be talking of 150k a month or even DSTV sub.

seankafor:
I sub 14k5 per month

Not that I can't sub 25k.. but it's not value for my money

I'm planning to order for starlink before this month ends

When I order it.. I'll package my DStv and send it to my village for my mom to be using

That makes two of us. We are still looking for anyone who subs 25k monthly.

Olowunl01:
Egbon yi sha 😀😀😀
Bros that's like 5k per day naa... Na wetin dem use dem go pay naa so for most we are talking way less than that.. Aside if person fit pay 25k for dstv sub, why cant dey pay 150k for light to watch it?

It's like you live around politicians. How many people even have DSTV talk more of paying 25k monthly for it.

Let's do a small survey on this thread and let's see how many people sub 25k every month for dstv

Theflint1:
And yahoo, these sort of crimes have reduced violent crimes a great deal.

Yes, very true.

Everybody now dey press

raumdeuter:
With these conversation I wonder why people are not moving en masse to solar

Waiting for NEPA or electricity to be stable is likely never going to happen since I was a kid NEPA has been like this and showing no signs of changing

If I own a house in any Nigerian city, One of my first expense is to install solar and give the middle finger to NEPA

To install solar the right way for you to completely go off grid also costs a lot of money.

Another issue I have with solar is that it's just unnecessary attention. I live in a rented apartment. I can't afford to put solar on the roof and give everyone passing on the street the impression there's one big man living there

Living a low key life is still one of the best ways to avoid kidnapping in this town. Though that has now reduced thanks to bunkery but you can't throw caution to the wind.

raumdeuter:
For who will 150K per month on electricity be a bargain

The average Nigerian does not live in Lekki, Rather they liv in Ilesha, Arochukwu and Potiskum

Shey the salary of a secondary school pricipal which is a senior level staff even reach 150K a month

For you to afford 150K a month comfortably, your monthly income needs to be around 600k because you will have to pay other bills and utilities, feeding etc

No one on 600k can afford electricity of 150k monthly except he's single.

600k a month is not exactly a lot of money in Nigeria of today. If this was 2018, I'll say yes but not 2023.

Shebi I talk am.

CBN has succeeded in making innocent bankers who are going about their job despite the restrictions placed on them

Now na to begin attack bank workers in the street but as long as Tinubu is the target everything is okay

Emaprince:
Sorry about that bro.

I really don't know why people dont see CBN as the problem.

CBN are doing everything to paint banks as the bad guys to exonerate themselves. They keep posting videos of banks busted for not loading ATMs with the meagre new notes given to them. CBN should be ashamed of themselves cos if anything, those videos exposed how economical they are with their disbursement of the new notes among banks.

The money I see in all those videos put together won't be enough for a single branch to serve its customers.

Their aim is cashless policy..so they should do well to come out open and tell the public that the policy means there won't be any cash availlable..and stop giving us false news about how they have given money to banks but the later refused to pay customers.

People should face CBN

The CBN on one hand, the banks on another hand but my problem now is with us the people.

One of the very first lessons I learnt as an adult was that, fighting and jagidi jagan( can't translate this) does not solve every issue. Sometimes you just have to be diplomatic and be wise.

Now that they have ambushed the poor people working in the bank, the bank has closed. The small money they would have even collected they can't collect. Those with dispense errors, lost ATMs and a plethora of other issues that would have been resolved today have been denied that opportunity.

Everybody now don go house or have spent extra transport money to visit another branch.

Who is now at the losing end?

DontBullshitMe:
Nigeria was already subsidizing his tertiary education. Why should he deserve a student loan again?

That's the problem of majority of Nigerian citizens/voters - excessive entitlement. This country is already doing too much for its citizens despite the fact that majority of the populace pay no direct tax.

Tertiary education - subsidised
Fuel - subsidised
Healthcare - subsidised
Forex (dollars) - partially subsidised

The people are not paying the real price for the products they consume and the services they enjoy yet they keep breeding to increase the number of beneficiaries... How country wan grow? It will breakdown at a certain point.

If what you say is true, why are people leaving all these subsidies and this government that does too much for us for places where there are no government subsidies and people pay the real price of products.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]We are gradually making progress here.

We have now categorised denigrating statements about a tribe to BANTS and HATRED.

We have also established that those comments said in the past should be ignored. (Will it also be ignored if i say it now?)

Itsrm, so sorry for the mental stress wey you dey go through now.[/color]

This thread is a stress relief. Who would have thought that spy himself who intially came out as sanctimonious also had skeletons in his cupboard.

Now that it has also been established that we are all tribalists one way or another, hopefully, we can now move away from all of it and go back to having meaningful and fruitful conversations.

And thank you, I don dey okay now

Donjazet2:
I hope they aren't armed. Is this in ph?

No they weren't. Just the usual stones, sticks e.t.c. Yes, in PH.

iamoyindamola:
Just read through it now, what about the arm securities
They should lock themselves since there's no exit yet, this shiit is getting crazy just when I thought this week will be better
I pray she arrives safely, at this point, banks should double up on securities

It was beyond those ones but they were able to call for back up from a not too distant police station. The situation has now been brought under control. She should be leaving any moment from now.

iamoyindamola:
What happened

Customers don ambush madam branch that they must bring out their money.

nihilistjnr:
Bro. I'm really sorry to hear this.
Omo she needs to get out of there sharpish, and I pray for the continued safety of your family.

Amen bro.

She and her other colleague are safe but they are trapped inside. Said others managed to japa just before the ambush.

nihilistjnr:
Damn. Bro, I hope that's not madam.

This shiiit is crazy

She's the one. This was what the CBN wanted

I'm sure the CBN have gotten their wish.

OasisX:
🤡🤡🤡

Of all the polls I've seen, this is probably the most foolish.

No one with any atom of common sense should take these ones seriously.

No longer worth the money being asked for it

OasisX:
..... yet there are still queues across the Country?

To be fair, queue no too dey my side again except you want to buy below 200.

You can drive in and buy at 400-450

BlueRayDick:
I learnt this is 278m being hoarded by a commercial bank while their customers are being denied access to cash (I don’t know how accurate the figures are tho) .

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoSXK48pabI/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

From the video, at most 50m for the new notes.

BlueRayDick:
Personally I think that Osun election should be cancelled outrightly by the courts and a fresh election ordered .

An election in which 185k votes was cancelled out of about 778k polled by both APC and PDP is definitely not a credible one. Both parties are beneficiaries of a fraudulent electoral process; just that one benefited more than the other .

They will eventually have to ammend that part of the electoral law. It makes absolutely no sense

Theflint1:
Yea, that's the idea, but then I can simply arrange for overvoting to take place in the areas where I know my opponent is strong and get the votes from those PU cancelled.

That's the thing and I've not seen anyone give a satisfactory answer to this concern.
