50% POS Operators Close Shops Over Naira Scarcity by ryloy(op): 9:21am On Feb 07, 2023
Over 50 per cent of Point of Sale operators have closed their shops as scarcity of new and old naira notes bites harder, it has been learnt.

The National Chief Aggregating Officer of the Association of Mobile Money and Bank Agents in Nigeria, Hussein Olanrewaju, who made this disclosure on Monday, said the impact of the ongoing shortage of new and old naira notes had worsened the plight of their members.

While noting that agents should be given preferential treatment in access to the new notes, he lamented that some Nigerians had taken advantage of the situation to charge unreasonable fees.

He said, Operators are licensed bodies that provide platforms which agents leverage on. Currently, agents do not have any preferential treatment to deliver this service, hence, more than 50 per cent of agent shops have been closed down as we speak.

Lol. Peter Obi the false messiah (who happens to own a large stake in Fidelity bank, and has unfettered access to the new notes) has told them and other suffering masses to keep suffering and smiling and endure Emefiele's policy, while encouraging the remaining 50% POS operators that are still fleecing hapless Nigerians to keep at it, because he hopes the policy would favour his electoral ambition.

But they shouldn't worry, president Tinubu will surely alleviate their suffering after taking office.

peter obi is not your central bank governor, peter obi is not your president, peter obi was not the person that introduced this policy, peter obi is only supporting what is right, if not for your foolish and tribalistic nature you would have known long ago that peter obi is the only presidential candidate that has good intentions for this country. Tinubu is the worst candidate in this year election, it will be better if buhari continues to rule us than tinubu

If only they would convert to Islam whole heartedly and perform their 5 daily prayers regularly.
There is a dua they would do and money would find it way to them💰.
Christianity would do you no good.
Convert to Islam, The religion of peace 🤝

Why Are The Naira Notes Now Scarce? (Video)
Many Nigerians have complained about the difficulty of getting the naira notes, as POS operators take advantage of the situation to inflate their charges on withdrawals by more than 1000% in several instances.

But why are the naira notes hard to get now? Readers should take note of the fact that a great part of the old notes have been mopped up by the CBN, which leaves only a few old notes and the new notes as options. The video looks into the major means by which the distribution of the new notes is being sabotaged.

The wheat are separated from the chaffs.
After 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Turkey, many buildings collapsed and many stood firm.

Many of them rushed into the business with less than 50k, but in the middle financial windstorm they fell out

A better news will be 100% of POS operators close shop

Like BDC POS operators have no place in a modern economy

They are leeches who seek to profit in a transaction without providing value

They are unregulated also

People should learn to use card to make debit payments at a POS terminal directly owned by the vendor

Vendors and business owners need to get a POS terminal to recieve payments

stop using excessive cash, it is not proper in a working economy

You will only facilitate thieves, kidnappers and tax dodgers

Big payments should be done by Bank transfer

POS operators are nuisance government created because of their defectiveness and need to be corrected.

Point of Sale is not a bank for withdrawals and deposits. We have a financial institutions to handle such.

POS is another time bomb to the society, hence the need to shot them out.

Government can't brag that they create jobs through that channel. If they do, it means they have no shame.
