If that's true, the deadline should be extended to the eve of the election... So the wealth can be redistributed a little. At least they will bring the cash out for the poor and it won't really affect the election...

Of course, how much poor man get?

30 days is enough to return old notes or disburse them. Most Nigerians always talk like idiots, they don't know their problems, keep supporting the criminals to keep stealing from them.
30 days is enough for over 200 million people?

They should continue with the scarcity of the new notes and release more 100 naira notes.
In addition to more N5, N10, N20 and N50 notes.
Lol.

ep stealing from them.
The main problem is when the old note is returned, the commercial banks keep issuing them bank as a result of non availability of new notes

How will the elites get the new notes when CBN is releasing just 10% of it to the banks?

U guys should stop exaggerating on issues u don’t understand.

Vote buying must be prevented
Although some banks will hand over much of the 10% released to them to the corrupt vote-buying elite, to the detriment of the masses. But it won't be enough for mass vote buying.

This 10 days extension is more in line with what Atiku appealed for: a slight extension. Seems like a sound judgement and what a compromise should be like. Not ranting. Even though they are all as bad as each other.

After elections, FG/CBN will eventually allow the public to exchange their old bank notes. grin cheesy

The elite can call bank manager and he will deliver any amount he want with no stress while the poor are still looking for it .

This is to prevent Obi and Atiku from buying votes, only Bala blu has that right to buy votes. We know. But God will redefine Nigeria this year.

No matter what the poor man will be able to disburse his paltry sum, this is not an issue.

And a politician with 200 billion cash in Nigeria would not have figured out how to change that to dollars or gold since November
You need to be very naive to believe that

We have POS merchants and banks everywhere, most poor people don't have money in the house, it's normally hand to mouth. You are not carrying everyone's money, it should not be a big deal for you to return your own paltry sum via pos, spending or taking it to bank.

I think you are not from this nation called 9ja if you are,who owns the banks, the CBN government and senators? Bros think twice


You and i know that only a one command from the polical leadders will loot the banks and more bullion Vans carrying the new redesigned naira note will find their way to their houses.

What’s the number of POS merchants and banks compared to 200 millions?
And won’t those POS merchants also go inside the banks to change money along with the over 200 million population.
Even if they are depositing 1000 each, how long do you think it will take 200 million people?
Re: Garba Shehu: Naira Redesign Targeted At Elites Hoarding Cash by Bennycollins: 4:10pm On Jan 29, 2023
Then your government has failed woefully. The so called elites don't print the cash for themselves, do they?

Think of yourself, how much do you have in the house?

Most Nigerians have no money at home, stop deceiving yourself. Some operate bank account, some have no money to keep. You are talking like 200milluon Nigerians have lots of money in the house, population of Nigerians with money in the house is less than 10%. The rest only have spending change, and save with the banks, it's the criminal politicians, drug dealers and kidnappers that keeps large money in the house.

It appears as if the Central Bank's plan is not really to change the currency notes, but to frustrate the use of cash and enforce a cashless policy.

This was most likely suggested by a foreign government or by an international financial institution.

The argument that the Naira redesign is targeted at the elite who hoard cash, is just a distraction.

The "Naira redesign", which is actually Naira notes removal, is not targeted at the elite, but at everybody in the country.

very wrong analysis
You have no idea what the profile of the average NIgerian is
It is not you or the person you quoted
Many if not most in some parts have nothing to do with banks
In November there were 55 million BVNs in Nigeria
Compared to 93 million voters.
