The currency redesign is not peculiar to Nigeria. It is an exercise that comes with some inconvenience and pain but it has significant longterm economic and social benefits. Even though there are improvements that can be made,

I urge Nigerians to bear with the CBN and Federal Government with the hope that the general populace and Nigeria will harvest the gains that will come with the reforms.

We equally implore the CBN and the banks to expedite efforts to make the new currency available to small depositors and the unbanked in order to reduce the pains of my fellow Nigerians, especially the underprivileged and those living far away from banks in the rural areas - PO

Aisha Yesefu and the Zionist thugs backing Obi plus this his blind endorsement of the WEF eNaira should be resoundingly clear that Obi is just another Jewish owned puppet .

It's only Tinubu that is complaining because of his hidden agenda

yang:
Use debit card to make payments

Cash should be used only for little transactions

A central bank should have control of money supply to keep exchange rate reasonable

CBN policy is good all transactions should be done by Card via POS terminal or by bank transfer

This stops kidnapping and theft and also ensures tax compliance

Printing of excessive cash for circulation is evil

There is no place in the world where people can pay or withdraw millions over the counter, it's done by bank transfer for tax and money laundering reasons

One key observation is than Peter Obi hasn't said anything about the scarcity or policy. It's like his fans aren't queuing for cash or suffering the effect. Is this the man obidients said will deliver Nigerians from the shackles of their oppressors? Not even a word to score political points. This man go worse pass Buhari as i dey look am so.

Cashless policy can be a force for good and evil.....on one hand it can make life easier where the people have access to excellent Internet connection and a proper device such as smart phone or body enabled chip........many biblical scholars and researchers have concluded that the only way the Antichrist can fully implement the mark of the beast is through digital or electronic money.....

How is Nigeria ripe for a full cashless society? Only an evil person or a deluded person who thinks social media is a representation of Nigeria will support this evil......there are several millions of Nigerians who have no bank account......many more millions without smart devices.....Internet connection is poor in many parts of Nigeria yet Obi and Atiku...the 2 PDP thieves are supporting hardship cos they think it will benefit them....

The United Kingdom, EU and many developed countries are not a fully cashless society and there is no nation that has experienced this chaos due to currency swap or change ....the US dollars changes regularly no problem.....naira has changed many times in the past no problem.....Emefiele, Atiku, Obi are enemies of the people......we all know that no presidential candidate will be affected by this lack of new naira note

Opposition parties are the major beneficiaries of the current Naira chaos as they are set to benefit from the anger towards the ruling party. So, I’m not really surprised that Peter Obi choose political gains over the suffering of Nigerians. What exactly are the long term gain of the Naira redesign that will be lost if we don’t rush it with a deadline that’s a week to the presidential election?

It’s unfortunate that we now have politicians who choose politics over the overall good of the society. The chaos they are encouraging with the view to benefit from politically will end up consuming them all n the long run. If Buhari is sensible, the evil support opposition candidates are given the current sufferings should tell him that indeed something is wrong somewhere. It’s time to match the break now. Cancel the deadline and allow old and new notes to circulate together till June.
