It is always very difficult trying to enlighten people on why printing more money to augment financial deficit is not a good option. Some, especially those who don't understand the principles of economics wonder why money should not be printed if the government needs it so badly.
The resort to printing makes money lose its value, making it look more like any other paper which culminates into high depth of poverty, unemployment, hunger and penury, and eventually results in economic depression. It has crumbed so many economies and Somaliland is a popular case. The attached photos give an illustration of what happened to Somaliland.

U print money based on what u earn. Example u earn $10 billion, u print 4.9 trillion naira assuming exchange rate is $1=N495. No problem. Where problem arises is when u did not earn $10 billion and decide to print 4.9trillion naira. Oga u are playing with inflation and multiple devaluation. The problem with printing unearned income is u don't know how much to print and you don't know when to stop printing.
Zimbabwe did not know when to stop printing money because each time the govt had money problem, they started printing.

What you saw there is transactions taking place. Small transactions like buying and selling of onions, tomatoes, pepper, etc

Now, this shit is getting scary.
Like I always tell people who care to listen, stop saving your money in naira.
Even your government doesn't trust naira enough to save in it.
Nigeria has its money in foreign reserves because the US dollar is a currency owned by a serious country.
So, the unserious government here can afford to render our naira useless.
I just hope it doesn't get to the Zimbabwe or Somali economic catastrophe.

Is there really any difference to what we have in Nigeria?... our difference is just the usage of online transfers.. while the civil war has ravaged Somalia's internet and mobile connections which has made them go manual.

Imagine 10 packs of N500 notes equaling 500k and getting just ten piece of $100 note..

Same goes for 5 packs of N1000 notes to equal $1,000..

Atleast now Nigeria see a clear picture of our exchange rate under Buhari, coupled with the fact we tower above them on terrorism

What in the name of gibberish is this? are you a nursery 2 pupil?

You cant arbitrarily print money without a corresponding increase in the GDP which is the actual goods and services produced within a country, else hyperinflation will set in

If you are printing money to replace old and worn out notes which will be received and burnt then its a totally different scenario

This is why it is a great evil to impede production for the sake of nepotism like the presidency is doing. You allow herders to graze crops that could have boosted the GDP and in the process reduced the overall supply of what money is meant to exchange. That makes more money available to fewer goods and thus trigger inflation and devaluation. Why not make the herders work to feed their cows and let the crops of the farmers add to the overall GDP?

Save your surplus cash in foreign currency preferably dollars, euro or pounds else your tears will be premium. The terrorist government doesn't want your prosperity and will do everything to frustrate you. When will the educated fools in Southern Nigeria learn? When?

There's this story i heard about German hyper-inflation period.

A woman carried a wheelbarrow filled with money to buy bread.
Alas the wheelbarrow was stolen and the money thrown on the floor.
