What kind of rubbish cashless are you talking about. I did transfer yesterday to pay for something I bought and it took over 2 hours before the seller received the money, meanwhile I was debited immediately. Useless country with useless policies |

You are right but we must start somewhere. Truth be told the banks did not expand their network capacity in anticipation of increased card usage and mobile transfers with the advent of the Cashless policy. Exactly, they didn't expect things to go this way but the truth is that banks have been facing this issues for a few years now, they do experience network downtime a lot but never thought of addressing the issue by increasing their network capacity. CBN didn't plan this well, they are supposed to make sure banks can handle increased card usage and mobile transfers before embarking on cashless policy, but I guess in a way we can call what's happening now a beta test 1 Like |

You're just a clown.....
The reason for the whole new naira regime is to reduce Nigerian's overdependence on cash.
Abroad people don't move about with much physical cash when 99% of their transactions are paid for by card or transfer.
The demand for cash far exceeds supply that is why banks have difficulty in keeping their ATMs loaded.
It is the same problem with the new notes. Yes there is politics involved in it without a doubt but the fundamentals are the same. Government wants more people to go cashless. Now even if you load 20m in your ATM POS agents are on standby to withdraw all the money. I hear that now they even pay multiple people to go to the ATM and withdraw on their behalf. In addition they also have multiple cards all in a bid to bypass the CBN restrictions. As a result an ATM that could have served 500 people will end up serving just 50 people meanwhile not enough deposits are coming in because people are hoarding their cash either to use themselves or to sell to pos agents who of course will sell at ridiculous rates to Nigerians who no dey hear word. Even major cash depositors like fuel stations are not allowed to go and deposit their monies at the bank at close of business because POS agents are there to buy their cash! Banks thus are put Inbetween a rock and a hard place of limited supply and unlimited demand for cash!
If majority of small businesses start accepting transfers or get a POS for their business payments or get a QR code which a customer can scan and make payment, gradually demand for physical cash will reduce over time and with the reduction in demand, all those stockpiling their cash will release same into circulation.
Things are difficult right now in some areas crazy sef but I believe we are on the right track. Government should allow this scarcity to remain until after election after which they can relax some controls. There should be an expansion of network capacity by banks to accommodate the increased transfers which is sure to occur to ensure more customer buy in, improved service and reduced transfer issues which is the major reason why people distrust transfers.
Finally a task force should be setup to monitor cash pos operators to check their excesses and avoid over exploitation of the people. It's crazy for people to have to pay 1000 or 2000 naira to withdraw 10000 naira! We are not ready for a cashless economy. Since this whole new currency issue started, banks have been acting crazy and some bank apps don't even open at all. My debit cards haven't been working since for some days now and whenever I try to use a POS to pay, it get declined. As for bank transfer, a lot of businesses have started adding a fee to any transfer you do. I tried paying for something yesterday with bank transfer and the woman told me there's a fee of N100. We still have a very long way to go before we can embrace cashless economy, a lot of things have to be fixed first |

Right now I don't even have any cash with me. I wanted to buy food earlier today and I told them I want to transfer but they said transfer attracts a fee of N100, I get choice? I tried to withdraw from POS and they said 2k withdrawal goes for N400, we finally agreed for N300 and when I tried to withdraw with my card, it was declined. See eh, this country don tire me, nothing is just working. No cash, and to pay with debit card is another problem on its own. Only God knows how I go chop tomorrow |

My course mates and I did our IT in Lagos a few months ago and that was the worst month of my life. The institute we were attached to provided accomodation at Ajah while we commuted to their headquarters at Victoria Island everyday. We had to leave the house at 5am everyday just to beat traffic and guess what? We still end up in mad traffic everyday! There was a day I had breakfast and lunch right in traffic, e come be like say person dey travel to another state. Should we then talk about the quality of water? Let's not even go there. Benin city isn't as developed as Lagos but I still love it here, Lagos is too chaotic abeg. The only good thing there is the opportunities it provides due to the fact that a lot of companies have their headquarters there, it's basically a business hub 11 Likes |

My question is will the creation of Conua, hence the migration of members from ASUU to Conua solve the problem?.... Will Conua sooner or later also revolve to revolt against lack of proper funding by government? Ur guess is as good as mine!
