Millz404:
CBN is making it scarce on purpose, what is the point of changing the old notes when you are just going to flood everywhere with the new ones.

Get new notes enough for petty transactions, anybody that wants above 1k from your hand, do transfer.

Simple.
I wonder why CBN is not bold enough to state this.
Instead of lying against innocent banks.

I also strongly believe that CBN should cease this time and situation to encourage the use of E-naira for transactions without any charges at all.
In fact they should even give users some incentives.

Nolevel666:
Well there’s a lot of sense in what you’re saying.

I just don’t want Nigerias to become accustomed to collecting money during voting period. Politicians always try to get back their losses by looting more money

Politicians steal money in Nigeria because stealing is easy and our laws against stealing are weak.
Our civil servant and public servants (Military officers, DGs, AGFs, Ministers) that haves stole billions, where they elected? Did they campaign and share money to anybody before they get to their position?

As long as our political offices are cash-cows people will always do all things possible to get there.

Bebigiby:
How can a seating CBN governor who has desecrated his office as a card carrying APC member (See https://punchng.com/apc-chairman-confirms-emefieles-membership-says-cbn-gov-registered-feb-2021/) deserve commendation from Nigerians?

You're naive if you think Emefiele's new policy will stop vote buying. Also the last time I checked it is not CBN's job to combat vote buying or insecurity. One will ask what then is the job of INEC, EFCC, ICPC, Police and our other security outfits? (The CBN is not INEC neither is it a department of the Nigerian police force).

You said "If emiefele didn't dump the kids gloves and chose to go hard-core, the Naira was confidently heading to a #1000 to the dollar...." Again it is Emefiele's fault for the astronomical rise in exchange rate, seem you've forgotten CBN banned sale of forex to BDC (See https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/475998-breaking-cbn-bans-sales-of-forex-to-bdcs.html) and also threatened to stop selling forex to banks. If you really think that Emefiele's recent policy will stop Tinubu or help Nigerians then you don't know what's going on. As I said in my earlier post he is not on your side.

Just calm down and ignore some people some time.
I simply wonder how some people believe that anyone in this uncoordinated government is doing anything for the benefit of Nigerians or the masses.

Since our government cannot lead and cannot think or be proactive, market men and women will take the lead.

I have mentioned it since last month that I expect the CBN to use this period to push the use or E-naira the more.
And they should even give incentives in form of cash backs to encourage users to use it the more.

But our own CBN is more concerned about revenue generation in form of penalties and levies, than the ease of transactions for Nigerians.

Nolevel666:
The inflation here is too high mostly during the election period where they share money to every goat and fowl.
The fools think they are being smart by collecting money to vote but unfortunately,it simply increases the demand and prices of goods in the market because everyone would want to buy something with what they receive

So this policy will cut back on all that.
Myself i really think there shouldn’t be much new naira notes in circulation until after the election to prevent politicians from hoarding then thereby defeating the purpose of the exercise.

Let’s go cashless for a while!

So after the elections we go back to square one right?
And you think the reason for inflation is just too much cash in circulation?
Have you ever considered how much US dollars is in circulation around the world?
Do you think Nigeria has 10% of the bank notes the USA has?

Let me ask you another question, can you collect cash from a bank that you do not have?

The problem with inflation in Nigeria is wasteful spending based on fraud and embezzlement.

A road construction that should not cost more the N800m being awarded at N2.6bn.
Even if the excess N1.8bn is not collected in cash but transferred to Dubai, transferred to car dealers to buy luxury cars with no ecomic advantage or contribion to the economy their will still be inflation.

But do you know that if a politian however collects N2bn cash and share it during election day, and just N500m out of it is used by people who collected to ugument their farming, do you know that it will have a positive impact on the economy?

So our problem is not cash, but how our leaders waste money, either in cash or any other means.

Sebi they are asking Emefele how electronic fees in trillions have been mismanaged now, Nigerians are not saying anything.

Under Jonathan $20bn was missing in NNPC, he was saying it was not possible.
Emefele and Buhari are using Naira notes and cheap blackmail against others, in order not to make Nigerians ask real questions about real monies that are responsible for the real inflation.

When your stock in trade are lies; confusion and contradiction will always be in your custody

But Nigerian will never learn.

Imagine sane human beings with functioning brains, campaigning for someone that packaged Buhari for us for good 8yrs, turn back and denied all promises and assurance made, even blamed us for believing their promises.
Now that same person is presenting himself. Will someone that lied and deceived us for another not do same for himself?

Nigerians please and please let's vote for the future of our children for once.

All these faceless girls
Me I don't insult people's parent.
Their parents have done their best
Anybody can come from a poor background and still make it in life, by working hard, smart, and prayerfully.

But to all the full and semi Olosho ladies forming boss-lady, I have nothing to say

You must kill me today, you must kill me today, has finally happened.

Please avoid abusive relationships.

Greystone:
That Craig David’s album “Born to do it” was arguably the most “abused” album on Nigerian campuses in 2000
I also refused to buy the album but there was literally one playing at every time “T” in boy’s hostel.
I also knew the album by heart as a result

Can you imagine that I just downloaded MP3 of my favourite 4 tracks from that album last month to my phone, after many years

Greystone:
Lol
My late 100L roommate tormented me with Don Moen gospel songs with this back in 2000.
Other boys in the hostel wer rocking Craig David and dem Sisqo that time
It was a rechargeable lantern composed of;
-flourescent tube
-torch (which could blink)
- cassette player
-AM & FM radio
Thing could last several hours back in those days jacking at night in the lecture theatres on campus with no NEPA light.

Rest in Peace Emmanuel.

That Craig David you mentioned brought back memories for me, I served in year 2000 in one village, it was this radio and one Craig David complete cassette that a friend gave me when leaving for camp that was my companion.

I still know which song will come after which song in that Craig David album

God1000:
This is a complex issue, she's truly entitled to some of his property if she was legally married to him.


But she shouldn't get into dirty fight with the first wife and the husband family if things turn ugly

I would rather she finds a way of handing everything over to his former wife simply because of his living children.
Only the children of the dead are entitled to his or her properties in my own opinion.

Couples especially women should stop laying claim to their spouses property simply because they are married or in a relationship.

Persons in a relationship knows what belongs to who.
But women always believe that whatever belongs to the man is theirs but not the other way round.

Kaniff:
The kind of news wey I dey see on nairaland omo i dey wonder whether na storytelling AI bot dey make them up
It doesn't seem real to me ngl😔
Wetin be this ?

It maybe real.
But not the full story.
My concern is why a lady that owns a house will be dating a married man with wife and children that does not own a house?
What is he bringing to the relationship?
Please don't tell me peace on mind

As much as I won't take it from a woman, I will most definitely not take it from a man.

Gben5:
I have a townhouse with three bedrooms. My office occupies one of the bedrooms, but six months ago, my boyfriend of two years moved in. To protect his five-year-old son and also two elder daughters, our plans to get married have been delayed.

He came to me to tell me that his ex can no longer afford her apartment due to the drastic rent increase and is preparing to leave Accra and relocate to her parent's home. According to my boyfriend, he doesn't want to stay far away from his children and doesn't want to keep his children away from their mother.

He is proposing that they move in temporarily with us. This will mean I give up my office, or he moves in with his ex to help out financially, and both of those options will destroy our bond. What do I do?

sorry but this is very funny to me.

I will give you an advice that I will give my sister.
Let your boyfriend and his family move on with their life, you are being used

If anyone does not understand my stand. I am a man.
And I can assure that no man including your boyfriend will allow another man (his girlfriends ex) with their children to move into his house.

Even if your boyfriend's ex is my own blood sister, I still say NO!

Come to think of it. Why are you dating a married man with kids that does not have his own house?
There is more to this story.

At least with the accusation and counter accusations between APC and APC and between APC and PDP it should be clear to Nigerians that OBI is our only option.

But mumu people that are hell-bent that their generations must continue to suffer in a country that is so blessed will still not allow us that want a better life to move forward.

Please why do most Nigerians feel Nigeria should/can't be better than the current nonsense situation we are currently in?

Walahi, despite being born and brought up in Nigeria I dont like this shit-hole lifestyle of poor power supply, kidnapping, poor road, thugs/miscreants in places of honour and authority, and rascality by dishournable honourables.

NotoriousBiggyS:
Tithe money is finished
They want come collect another tithe

Sebi you guys said tithe money will finish if Buhari defeated Jonathan
That CAN and Pastor's wanted Jonathan because Jonathan was giving them money?
During lockdown you still said pastor's would go broke.

When will you guys learn that a poor church can never have a rich pastor?

Look Jesus has said it, "the poor will always be amongst us".
Sell everything that every church has and give to the poor members. In 3yrs times we will still have the poor and the rich again.
Know this and know peace

Diligent1:
Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria.

I have nothing to say to you.

Because I know at least 2 close friends that where strong supporters of Buhari back in 2015 that have now japa.

All I have to say is that anyone that will be a party to voting any bad leader again for Nigeria in the next election will suffer the corporate curse of the land.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
Thiefnubuu has been rejected nationwide.

Obi will flog Thiefnubuu in Lagos. That's sacrosanct..

All I ask is that they allow free and fair elections in Lagos.
Election materials should get to everywhere and everyone, and no thugs or security agents should intimidate or harass people on election day.
I want us to even know the real Koko in Lagos between tenants and so-called landlords

lhordspy:
A wise man once said:

The difference between human and Animal is that animals will never allow the dumbest in their midst ; mislead them.

The most significant take-away for me in this election period is that it unravelled, unbuttoned, unriddled, exposed lot of mysteries about the mental state of some Nigerians. The deficiency in their reasoning faculty and ability to take, breakdown, consume information before digestion.

SOS. We need help.

You have said it all.

Told told Nigerians in 2015, but they refuse to see reasons.
How can you choose a president only on the basis of what he does not have?
*He does not have a house in Abuja
*He does not house a house abroad
*He does not have a foreign bank account
*He does not have money to buy nomination form
*He does not even have any meaningful educational certificate
*He does not have any personal business despite all his pension and gratuity as a general, former military head of state and PTDF chairman
*He does not even have a free Islamic school or Jumat mosque solely built by him in the honour of his God despite his verbal profession for Sharia and Islam

Yet we are now surprised that 8yrs later Nigeria does not have anything tangible to boast of despite our trillions in borrowing. shocked!!!

Nigerians have another chance again to make amends.
Let's leave out foolish and senseless sentiments this time around.

Let's vote as if our future depends on it, because truly; it does!

God1000:
I remember when young women used to follow their parents to farm and do all sorts of work.

The parents will in turn use the proceeds from the crops to pay the school fees of their children and use the remaining money to buy food

Gone are those days, farming is no longer a thing of pride, that's why hunger is killing us, everybody is searching for white-collar job in Abuja and Lagos.

Hmmm, which good old days of farming are you relating to?
Some people you see in Abuja had better foundation than even our President Buhari.
I know a doctor that is about 60yrs old in Kaduna that is a second generation doctor (I e his father was a doctor too), he also has children that are doctors (3rd generation doctors).

In other clime farming is a business not an occupation.
Farming should not be what the youths of Nigeria (especially graduates) go into because they cannot find jobs.

But farming should be a business that youths go into to create a legacy for themselves while however creating jobs for others.

Naijanascam:
This is laughable and insulting to sane minds

Nothing is impossible in Nigeria.
In a country where:
*monkeys and snakes swallow money.
*Sand storms carry tractors away (Borneo state 1998).
*Ocean liners go missing MC Jimoh
*Chairman of boards faint during financial misappropriation investigation in the senate
*Should I continue...

Is it ordinary missing of road that billion van cannot miss?

And yet it will surprise you that some human beings, Nigerian citizens ooo, will still vote APC.

God please take me to a country where real humans live, Baba God na beg I dey beg!!!

tinsel:
You guys have no shame. Better hide all these pictures than showing them here. See rally of a so called candidate to win a presidential election.

Hope you know that we have other political parties with presidential candidates other than Obi, Kwankwaso, Atiku, and Tinubu?

So why be bothered with this one that you feel cannot win?

So you believe others will win and Nigeria will have like 12 president

silvoclaira:
You read the article but you still looked the other way with these your hypocritical comment above...

Why wont US citizens denounce citizenship to Nigeria?!

No big deal nah.
Did we not have some US and UK citizen back then that renounce their citizenship to join ISIS?

Renouncing citizenship differs from having dual citizenship.

This statistics is not about people that have japa or taken up citizenship of other countries ooo.

If they release that one you will just faint.

Even almost all of our politicians and their family members are citizens of other countries. They just did not renounce their Nigerian citizenship.

Remember that our former Senate President (Bukola Saraki) was said to be also a British citizen while he was even Nigerian Senate President.

Otunbakayce:
Exactly what I did, I also didn't exhaust all the evidence of unremitted fees that she collected. I kept some and some of the whom she pocked their bills are just a phone call away also.

Wishing you all the best.
May God continue to bless us.
I had a policy of keeping my subordinates extra close when I was working.
Most of them (male/female/married/unmarried) are still my friends till date.
I go to their house and they come to mine. There is know you can steal or do fraud that I won't see the effect in your life and family.

The only staff 2 staffs who did fraud that ever worked with me where discovered doing fraud in other branches. Investigation where extended to their previous branches and only my branch was found clean on the 2 occasions.
Even management had to investigate me at a time

There is none of my key subordinates that I don't have full access to, I must penetrate your life, while at the same time opening mine to you. I no kuku get anything to hide.

The sector I worked in was fraud prone, but thank God I never experienced any directly in my almost 2 decades there.
Thank you Jesus. Nah God!!!

I'm very careful with investing money under this useless administration!

Even if you are into the business of selling money under this administration you will still fail.

princeade86:
no because they gave us enough time to do that, but we always do I don't care attitude in this country until it get to die minutes, we will now be rushing.

Enough time to do what?

So if we all had deposited our old Naira notes into our bank accounts since December 16th 2022, what will we all have been transacting with since then?

People should start seeing not just looking nah!!!

And please don't start telling me rubbish of cashless society ooo, because even in the cashless more developed countries we are trying to copy, they still use cash.

I still withdrew 900 Canadian dollars cash from an ATM at once (one single withdrawal) to pay late rent because it will take some days for my cheque to clear if I had paid with cheque.

Now calculate 900 Canadian dollars in cash to Naira and compare it to what you can collect on Nigerian ATM.

Our government will just always use every excuse to mask their incompetence.

Cashless economy is by choice and for convenience, not because a country's CBN is unable to print and circulate quality notes.

Let me not pretend to understand anything here..

Thank God for you.
That however does not mean that you should not still be very careful.
Women have been implicating innocent men since the time of Joseph.
Make her feel that you will do anything to help her out of the case, so that she won't make you an enemy.
Because when she is sure that she is going down her next move will be to make sure she goes down with you, if she considers you responsible for her being exposed or you not doing anything to help her cover up.

And considering her so-called innocent face, people may tend to believe her more than you.

Be very careful, case is not fully settled yet.
