Zimbabwe 2008 inflation

Thank you I appreciate! That is money being useless.

Angelfrost:


You are trying too hard to convince no one! Rest oga!

Nairaland and Supreme court can say whatever they like... Governors can form activity from now till tomorrow!

The average Nigerian citizens listen to only two people: Buhari and CBN!

If these two people don't verbally and clearly rescind their imposed deadline (which is already past), then your old notes become your cross to bear!

Let's not bicker or bandy words online... Walk about and spend those old notes as you like!

I don't know your location, but everywhere I have been, most Nigerians are rejecting the old notes! Facts!

When you pay driver or mama put or trader or even supermarket, and they refuse to accept the notes, call Elrufai or CJN to come and lock them up!!!

No need beating chest online!!!

Are you done?, the supreme Court have spoken, if you like listen to cows, that is your business, neither Buhari nor CBN can't say otherwise, until 22nd you can cry me a river.

I am not happy with this, they should let this thing end on Friday

Angelfrost:


Honestly, I don't even understand what the moronic clowns are arguing about!

Is Nairaland the CBN center or Aso Rock of Nigerian traders and drivers?!!

Carry old notes enter street first... You go trek back to your house with them!

The old notes that is still been sent in Lagos even this money from Keke to food store

christistruth01:



They said the Supreme court
You are talking about High Courts

If the High Courts refuse to accept an old naira note for the payment of an affidavit, it means that they (High Courts) are not in agreement with the stay order from the supreme court. Should I take the High Court to Supreme Court for justice?

All this Tinubu followers saying that the reason for this naira swap is to stop Tinubu from winning 2023 presidential election, please come and explain why you said so, or are you trying to tell us that Tinubu wants to buy the election with our money? Please you guys should come and explain the us.

TimT:

Okay... Let's the case be dragging on... I don't mind .. but remember that SC is located in Abuja, and not everybody is in that Abuja... So when next u want to spend your old notes and it's been rejected, then tell the person that he must collect it.. okay...
Some of you thinks because the Supreme Court is the highest it can rule anyhow....
This case is under the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court... And since it involves the monetary policy, it's only the Federal government that can take the CBN to the SC...

Jurisdiction? Why did SGF stop the case like he boosted, the case is in the supreme court, are you going to take the supreme court to the High Court for lack of jurisdiction

You lots are just kids, you just say whatever some idiot tells you, supreme court have made its decision, take it to court if you are not pleased.

sparko1:


You are the one talking without sense, the supreme Court is the highest court in the land, the CBN has no power to say anything if the supreme Court is talking, even the president can't make a contrary statement.

Sir, CBN is not a party to the suit. Also, this issue borders on fiscal policy by agency of government. It's like someone dragging CBN to court over interest or exchange rates. The only difference here is that currency swap borders on morality (human rights), but again same arguments can be made for the scenarios I painted above. Truth is, Nigeria have always had weak institutions, and some of us have always celebrated this until now. This is a game of ostrich and only CBN and PMB can settle the issue.

FreeStuffsNG:

The Supreme Court Judgement on ex parte motion stands. Old naira remains a legal tender unless SC vacates its judgement.

Folks can now start suing Mr Emefiele in his personal capacity, the CBN, any bank or institution that rejects it and ask for their commital to prison or pay compensation to them for injury or discomfort caused them for rejecting the old N200, N500 & 1000 notes.

Election holds in 10 days. Once Asiwaju Bola Tinubu wins, SC or no SC , old notes will remain till December,2023 and Emefiele will be fired.

How can you sue someone at the supreme court when the case should start at a lower court and you can't just carry your papers to the supreme court straight to sue him on personal ground.

Until the supreme court decides on the issue, no lower court can entertain such case unless determined, it will lack locus standing

I don't know the reason this APC supporters keep saying naira redesign was to thwart Tinubu effort for winning the presidential election. Are we not voting again with our voters card? Are we going to vote with old naira note?

Eriokanmi:
Haaaa. El-Rufai will faint today. Where would he keep the whopping 20bn naira in his vault bayii. Na to burn dem for inside zaria forest. Chaiii. If you see any PSP truck coming out of bourdillon from today in numbers, its not sewage dem go pack oo. Na old notes.

To all Nigerians suffering this, I apologise on behalf of the CBN and FG. You're not alone, I'm also among those feeling the heat. Buhari had done 2 wonderful things which was why I voted him in 2015, given his antecedents but he's acting late. Well, better late than never shaa.. who says again that Buhari doesn't know what he's going? . I wish the indomie generation supporting nonsense witnessed his rule in the 80s. The 2 wonderful things he did were...

1) Reassurance on free and fair election by embracing BVAS

2) Naira redesign to cut their ill-gotten health to size. I keep saying this...Nigeria isn't a bad country. But the choices we make in electing bad people in government out of sentiments keep denting our image as a nation by allowing bad people to continue to hold sway. We will get sense someday.

So you acknowledge you're suffering the effects but still support it because it affected your imaginary enemy which is TInubu. Afterall, once we kill Tinubu Nigeria will become an eldorado abi? Dey play!

Let me tell you, it's easier to destroy things than building. Businesses that would be affected or destroyed by the policy would not be easy to rebuild. Emefiele that is simply bitter because he lost APC presidential ticket is not your concerns but Tinubu.

In the first 4 years we all saw how Tinubu was sidelined by Buhari and Abba Kyari and how well they ran the nation into debts. Tinubu supported Buhari same way he supported Fashola and Sanwo Olu to be governors. That Buhari ended up been a failure was never Tinubu's fault. That was on Buhari.

Tinubu will win and you will wail for atleast 4 years. And I'm sure El Rufai took you to his house where he was hiding the 22b also right?. This is why Aisha Buhari had to get someone like you arrested and beaten up weeks ago.

Is the cbn part of the executive govt or legislative

drlateef:
Bayelsa and Edo joined on side of government (respondents) meaning that PDP states are supporting this cruel policy implementation by CBN. They will never be forgotten as among those on the side of oppressors (CBN and cabal). Nigerians! Know your enemies now!!! PDP and LP and their candidates and supporters including Emefiele and cabal are the oppressors of Nigeria. Buhari is just being used like Mumu front for all evil people.

U are completely senseless APC govt is implementing its cashless policy through CBN and u are mentioning LP and PDP,why can't APC take responsibility for once,the people are now wiser,when u were opposition u blame the ruling party that was 50 times better,now u are the ruling party and u are still blaming others for ur actions

babaolofin:


Where is the money? If Emefiele were to be a Yoruba man he would have been disgraced out of office by Buhari.

The IBOs propaganda machinery would have created chaos and scattered most part of Nigeria. Lagos would have been set ablaze and Lagos State properties and Tinubu properties damaged.

I don't rule out serious riots in the coming days.

Atiku and PDP don't invest much in South West. They did least campaign and investment in South West because South West have voting patterns that are not based on uncivilized and crude thinking. In 2019, on the eve of Presidential election, they said Tinubu brought money in two bullion vans. After the election, PDP won 3 out of the 6 South West States without spending a dime and much labour. If Tinubu were to be Hausa or IBO 80% of the votes would have gone to APC. What is the effect of the money except it is useful and of impact in the North and South East / South South.

Buhari and Atiku made me to believe BOKO is HARAM while ALMAJIRIN is HALAL because to BUHARI and ATIKU the present suffering of masses is HALAL while good economics is HARAM.

You are so incoherent, i do not know what you're even talking about.

babaolofin:


Which last straw? What concerns Tinubu with adjournment of case by CBN? It is only in an underdeveloped country that Supreme Court statement is not understood by the blinds. The old note remains a legal tender until Judgement is delivered by Supreme Court. Next Week Wednesday, there is the likelihood of the judgement to be postponed again which legally makes old note a legal tender till after election.

If Banks are rejecting it leading to filling stations rejecting it and commercial buses rejecting it, it can only frustrate INEC and not Tinubu.

If decision will be taking because of an individual (Tinubu) that is affecting over one hundred million people, then that individual is 50% of the entire nation, he is half of the entire nation as a single personality. He is a superhuman.

Buhari and Atiku made me to know that BOKO is HARAM and ALMAJIRIN system is HALAL. Nasir El Rufai championed the abolition of ALMAJIRIN system in the NORTH as a genius who thinks deeply. It is now, I can see clearly the thinking of a genius and the thinking of Buhari and Atiku who see BOKO as HARAM and ALMAJRIN as HALAL.

All Kara Markets and International Cattle markets including Alaba Rago have stopped collecting old naira notes this morning while awaiting Supreme Court judgement by 2pm.

About 20 minutes ago, I just passed information to a Kara Markets leader that the judgement has been postponed till next week Wednesday.

The old notes are no longer accepted in most parts of Nigeria. People are now rejecting and avoiding them like a plague.

The CBN has instructed banks to not collect them again, so what does that automatically imply?

Anyone who collects them, is simply on his own, as he can no longer deposit them at any bank, but only at CBN offices.

Effectively, the old notes are no longer acceptable, even after today's postponement by the Supreme Court, no one is collecting them again.

Even if the Supreme Court adjorns again on February 22, it doesn't change the fact that it is no longer acceptable.

There are many legal loopholes the CBN can hide behind and ultimately President Buhari is backing Emefiele.

Let's see how it all pans out, but please don't fall victim, don't accept the old notes going forward.

Cheers.

Young man, CBN doesn't need to be in the suit, CBN is not an arm of the government, they can't give directives, whatever the president says, CBN has to follow.

The fact that you think CBN have a say explain how little you understand about our system of government, once a case is in court, the president can't do anything, he can influence the judges to do his bidding but he can't make a decision on an ongoing case. So yes, we can celebrate and continue to spend our old notes, watch how the presidency will avoid the discussion or try to say little by using those they can discard to address the issues, it's a nightmare the president can walk into, even SGF knows.

To think you are smarter than 10 state government and their SGF, if you are unhappy, take the supreme court to court

StrongAlphMale:
Supreme court is fast becoming a useless organization. What a huge joke they are!

The country needs speedy judgement as regards this New currency, supreme court dey extend am. The CJN should be fired ASAP, man is highly unfit and incompetent. Meanwhile Tinubu urchins go wail tire today

No be pesin put CJN there... You think you are running a government.. lol

baralatie:

Bros understand the process of adjudication in this matter. If CBN was a party to the suit, only the FHC would have jurisdiction not the SC. The litigants knew that. CBN has laws guiding it's operations and they've not acted outside of it. Like I said, it is a game of ostrich with high moral burden. There's no right or wrong. Look at this example, you're a part of your household headed by your dad, and you are acting in capacity that empowers you to take certain decisions. The EXTENDED (larger family head) family can only summon your father to explain your actions, not you. Until that issue is resolved, nothing stops you from executing your immediate household's mandate.

Siwisheswereesh:


You guys are so disgusting!!! How can you be suffering and cheering Emefiele just because you think one person is being hurt

Good education makes a man express himself without insulting others, that is why an educated white man can tell you to go to hell and you will look forward to the trip.

You can pass across your point without calling 'us' ("you guys" names ("disgusting".

Next time, I'll teach you how to respond intelligently.

It is a very simple question?
The answer to that question will solve a lot of if nots


Is the CBN part of the Federal Govt(executive) or a Legislative arm of government

You are the one talking without sense, the supreme Court is the highest court in the land, the CBN has no power to say anything if the supreme Court is talking, even the president can't make a contrary statement.

Werey ask you governors why the CBN wasn't cc in the case... But the same CBN governor hosted diplomats and envoys yesterday and told them there is no going back from tthe January 10th date.. You are here quoting law while country is burning and citizens are confused.. Omo as I dey talk to you I don spend 3500 from my old currency oh.. The more the days, the harder it is to spend... You can be keeping yours, that's your fuc*ING business

djon78:


Abeg leave them

Very soon they will understand

There is nothing supreme Court can do about this

The new money still stands

Here in Abuja they are not collecting the old money

Na CBN people are listening to

All those money those governor's hoarded are already a waste

LOL. Even me when spend time dey convince the woman to take the old currency from me dey feel bad because I know say I nor go collect am again until things change... Right now as far as the CBN de concerned, we dey exchange papers

Lol. See where you've landed. You want to make it an issue of INTELLECT instead of INTEREST, of the parties in the suit.Okay, the two states that have joined the suit as respondents are also not wise? Watch as the list of states grows on either side. This is a game of ostrich. Arguments won't change a damn thing. For your own good dispose of your old notes. This is the Nigeria many of you have been celebrating.

Almaigaa:

All those jobless Upper Boys too dey cause trouble.

They go withdraw money, bank tell them say money no dey.

Misterone:
Mumu. You think the CJN can interfere in a case he is not part of? Olodo, FYI, the CJN is just a first among equals.

You're slow! I'm a lawyer, and the CJN assigned the cases to other Justices and can influence their decision if he's interested! Even outside office, former justices can influence decisions at the supreme court.

Just dey play

famology:
The whole idea is to drag the interim order until after the election. Even on the next adjourned date, more governors will join and it'll be adjourned again. As long as the interim order subsists, the old notes continue to be legal tender. Tinubu will win this election and everything will be reversed with Emiefele sent to jail.

clown

famology:







He said the court should not lose sight of the case and its intention as it affects the suffering of Nigerians.


I love this comment by the justice okoro. It gives me a sense of the direction the case will go eventually. God bless the supreme court for acknowledging that the masses are suffering from this policy. But zombiediots are still supporting the evil.

Obidients are from another country and not part of the suffering masses! I see

The real source of the problem is the new money is not available for people to withdraw.
