Ehn... Ok, fair enuf.

felifeli: Well done; do it several times more. For each search you do Seun earns good dollars while you people are making monkeys of yourselves over price of gari.

So u know all that and yet u clicked ''quote'' and ''reply''? Oya who's the monkey now?? Afo-anu.

Better go and chop some garri before u expose yasef here.

PortHarcourtBoy: As a Chemist

I added garri to water...Garrium Hydroxide (Ga2OH) was formed

On addition of Cooking Salt (Sodium Chloride NaCl) to Garrium Hydroxide

Garrium Hypochlorite was formed

A white gelatinous precipitate which best suits Iya Beji "Ewa-Goin"

Lol @ ''garrium hydroxide''

^^What da heck are u talking about?? ''Machine guns and elevators and freaky genetics'', as u so put it, have always been part of Underworld movie plots, or u wanna try explaining Michael Corvin's hybrid nature without genetics? They even spent a sizable chunk of the first movie telling us about how they've been trying out hybrid experiments on tons of Alexander Corvinius's descendants... Mtscheww, better go and rewatch the entire series my friend.

Yeah, they rode horses around in Underworld Evolution's prologue, but 10mins later we were back to sport cars, UV bullets and elevators!

The only major departure from the ''machine gun'' genre was Underworld 3, where horses and all that medieval stuff permeated the entire plot.

Just googled ''price of garri''.

NEWS FLASH!!

Henceforth, saying the following words (in whatever order) will earn u a BAN! The words are:
''HOW DOES (*insert any word/view/opinion/topic of your choice*) AFFECT THE PRICE OF GARRI IN THE MARKET?''

Yup, and just like that, pronto, u'll be banned and banded!!

Woow, i don laff tire today ... Here, go see for yourself: https://www.nairaland.com/1034749/price-garri#12009243

U guys should watch ''Unthinkable'', starring Samuel L. Jackson and Anne Carrie Moss...

At what point does intense interrogation become outright torture and brutality?

Tgirl4real: And so what

Hey hey, calm down o, somebody here says we're supposed to be living happily ever after. Oya ask me nicely, maybe i'll give u some... Its really yummy o

CrazyMan: The op didn't give up. Her fought harder and sang many gibberish songs and poems just to impress her.

He finally kept his promised to her...they're married now and are blessed with 18 children

Good story

Watch out for Tgirl4real's revenge in part2 of the epic movie

^^ Dude u are cwazyyy!

Oh, i just realize sef... Ur name says it all. By the way, would u like a beer too?

Odinaka00: If dem lyk make dem continue d hate na, it still wudnt reduce d price of GARRI in d market

Finally, the Garri Brigade arrives.

^^ Hogwash. I'll prolly out-live u sef, nothing personal.

Something good to remember GEJ's govt by at last. Maintenance and improvement should be the next agenda now.

cheddarking: Rumour has it that this railway might cause a jump in the price of....

.......GARRI

SlyIg: For d very first time in d history of Nairaland. Thats a welcoming development... This is a great news for garri lovers on Nairaland. Cant wait for d rumours to be confirmed.
Long Live d Garri Price Association of Nairaland (GPAN).

Lol @ GPAN.. I'm even tempted to join.

As much as Mr. Barth's decision to resign impresses, the fact remains that he tried to influence the entire process. And being a nigerian and knowing what my countrymen are capable of, how i know this isnt just a little twist in a bigger scheme of things?

Anyway, i'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed. If it all turns out to be for real, then thumbs up to GEJ and a nod to Mr. Barth. And if otherwise, well, we've all heard the story before.

I always sleep with my phone. All these talk, vibration this, cancer that... Humbug. My phone's a cross between Bane and Bruce Wayne; every morning it RISES with me!

Oh and by the way, in appreciation of his extensive research on the subject, i hereby confer on Acidosis the honorary title of ''The Boobsman''.

I'm eating fried fish. Yum yum.

Which movie is 'bore hole' abeg?

OAM4J: No, in the contrary what Sanusi said was that the cost of printing and managing currency will also reduce. Billions are spent printing the existing ones yearly. Imagine printing N1tr in N100 notes and N1tr in N5000 notes; which will be cheaper? In the long run Nigeria will be saving money printing N5000 notes cos there is a limit to the amount of money that should be in circulation.

In the long run, in the long run, everything in the long run. Gives me bad memories of madam iweala's empty ''in the long run'' arguments. Meanwhile in the short run, Sanusi will have a cut from whoever the printing is contracted to.

Think this thing through; additional costs will actually be incurred cos the other currencies will STILL be printed in MORE amounts (so that our impoverished shop owners and retailers can make change for ordinary nigerians who cant afford to blow 5k in one day).

Bro, learn to look @ these things from the AVERAGE nigerian's point of view. U imply that less amounts of the lower denomination will be printed, and i ask u: Will the new N5k note make the AVERAGE struggling paid employee need LESS lower denominations than he normally does?

Cindyrella so u still live with ur parents, eating ''mummy thank u''? Hmm. And when i wan talk sumtin important here, u go put mouth join? Umuazi nawadays sef...

Seun, see, i think its time u started displaying people's age beside their names here o.

dplordx:

Your sooo on-point. Im sure, Seun wouldnt think about this....I long tried to advise this guy been a programmer aint the same as been an intellectual.
Shame on this brainless administration. And to mention, 40billion would be spent on this project, on killing the naira and shooting up inflation.
If the 40billion goes into Education, Security, or Health, it would make a greater difference. Anyways, Naija is a useless country.

@OAM4J: See? And just like u, i also did not see this fella's comment before suggesting putting the money elsewhere. The comment is from the link u posted.

OAM4J: Please read Sanusi answers to your questions Here

^^ Thanks for the link above; i've just read through it. Here's what i think:

1. Sanusi says both coin and note versions of N5, N10, and N20 will used. My question is, for how long?? Decades ago when the 50k and N1 coins were first introduced, their note counterparts were also allowed in circulation...for a while! We all know what happened when the notes were withdrawn. And as sure as the sun rises the east, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN with these new set of coins. I mean, c'mon, this Nigeria for chrissakes, so who's fooling who?

2. Sanusi insists the N5,000 note has no effect on corruption. Look, we all know ''they'' have been looting (and are STILL looting), but why in God's name are u making it EASIER?? Jeez.

3. What about the COST of all this?? Forty fccking billion naira. Bros, do u know how many Nigerians whose life that amount can change forever? *smh*

Look bro, the ONLY good thing about these proposed coins (from the link u posted) is payment of tolls and all such ish about coin usage. My problem with it is that WE HAVE MORE PRESSING ISSUES IN THIS COUNTRY. Education, Health care, Inflation/high cost of living... If the FG/CBN has so much money and doesnt know what to do with it anymore, why not compile the names of ALL nigerian undergraduates and pay their tuition and accomodation fees for 1 school year?? I dont have any figures but i bet if N40bn doesnt cover it, it'll definitely go a long way. Haba!

For crying out loud, the gospel truth is that ONLY politicians need this N5,000 note; u think am, who else wants it??

Once again i ask, how do we stop this? I am truly out of ideas and i'm terrible at scouring for people's contacts online. I've only been able to find out the names of the senator and rep representing my area, but no contacts.

Fellow NLanders, we've pontificated and knacked enuf grammar; my question is: WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?? Or is it a lost cause already?

Apart from taking to the streets (which i view as worst case scenario), what else can we do to avert this wicked and inhumane scheme? Does anyone have the contacts of our senators and reps in the house? Can they be prevailed upon to act before Sanusi worsens our inflation problems, or is it a lost cause already??

We've debated enough, abeg.

On a sidenote, i'd like to send a message to Beaf, JohnDoe, and the rest of the 40 laptops:
If u truly have human feelings and care about this country, then kindly tell ur boss that nigerians are NOT in support of this hare-brained idea.

ocelot2006: Your Gf slapped you.....and you cried....oh my...son, please throw away your balls. You don't deserve them.

Exactly what the father is most likley to say.

My single greatest regret is that the present government still has TWO more complete years to wreck more havoc on the country. The process of impeaching any serving official in naija is so convoluted that the only way it'll ever happen is if its internally masterminded.

Please all and sundry, make efforts to obtain the phone numbers of the Senator, Rep(s) and/or councillors representing wherever you are from, and make your voices heard. Let posterity have it recorded that nigerians protested against this entire idea of N5k notes and coins nonsense. The last time i checked, democracy was FOR the people; if the people's voices are ignored, then we might as well have the military back and discard this charade we're practicing.
