Rinu: Scarcity Of Naira Is Only Going To Help Politicians Buy Votes by Hopium: 1:57pm On Feb 15, 2023
Unpopular Opinion: I think the scarcity of naira is only going to help politicians buy votes.

If citizens see anyone giving them money on Election Day, they are more prone to collect it.

Most of the new naira notes are already in the hands of politicians anyway.

cheesy Jungle don dey mature small small.

When they were making noise about how Buhari is punishing Tinubu to stop him from buying vote, they didn't think in this direction. They were suffering the cash and fuel scarcity in real life, but will come online to rejoice because Tinubu is going to lose the election. That delusional satisfaction and pending reward far outweigh the suffering, depression, and hunger waving across the nation. In their small and feeble mind, the pain and anguish they themselves are experiencing (including their parents in the village, their neighbors, loved ones, friends, and colleagues) is worth it so far Obi is coasting to victory.

Jungle don dey mature.

Only a naïve and inexperience mind - that doesn't know how the real world works - would think a person like Asiwaju can't access the new notes for vote buying. When people say Obi followers are dense, they're right. Very right. The mystery is that majority of his fan base are schooled but seeing how they think would make you pity the hard earned money their parents wasted sending them to school.

To every dull obidient out there who still think the naira scarcity is working in the favour of their principal, get it into your skull that aside the relative ease politicians now have to buy votes on the 25th, the apex danger of all is the possibility of the election not holding and an interim government being installed. Asiwaju tried to redirect your minds towards the things that matter, but you called him all sort of names.

INEC is already complaining of cash scarcity. What happens if they can't get cash to mobilize their ad-hoc staff? I've read some mumu takes today about how INEC doesn't need cash to carry out their responsibility. Many people need to get their brain checked. I fear for the future of this country. We have so many illiterates who only went to school but failed to be educated. Full adults in their 50s, 40s, 30s who doesn't how the world works; have no clue about the nation's electoral process; zero clue about national politics; people who have substituted social media raves with critical thinking. These are people who have passed on their genes or getting prepared to. cheesy

I'm not doomposting nor praying for this to happen: The supreme court judgement only put Nigerians into more confusion. The CBN has rendered old notes illegal, banks are rejecting it, filling stations are rejecting it, people have started to reject too. BUT there's no new cash in circulation. Nigerians are in a limbo with no where to face. The commander-in-chief is silent. CBN is not obeying court orders.

From now until election, we will see many protests and riots. I don't see how this election won't be postponed. I don't. And when this happen, print it in your brain that Jagaban is not your enemy. He voiced out, warned us of impending dangers, even gave the CBN solution.

Your enemy is Buhari and by some extension Emefiele (that one will end up in jail one way or the other).

In a sane society, the hardship of the Naira swap should instigating the political consciousness of the beleaguered citizens to a massive revolt against the ills of the catastrophic APC government of the past 8 years.

Conspiracy theorists who asserts that there is a sinister agenda to this change of currency policy are not far from the truth.

This fuel scarcity and Naira scarcity are not coincidental. I opine that they are delibrate and artificially created crisis which multi dimensional aims are:
(a)arouse public disaffection and frustration
(b)instigate a nationwide crisis
(c)compromise the forth coming election

Those who concur with the CBN Governors argument that the reason for the currency change is to prevent vote buying, simply do not know how adept Nigerian politicians are at circumventing the system.

Is it someone like Tinubu and Atiku that will be queueing and struggling to withdraw cash at the ATM point?

That's the reality on ground. My students are all saying they are ready to vote for anyone that gives out new naira notes. It's time for polithiefcians to dangle scarce naira notes before the people undecided

You can't help but wonder why not, I've been standing 1+ hours, no keke is accepting old note nor transfer. All these Hausa bikers don't even understand such language. Everything is at a pause and you expect people not to cry?

Old note is withdrawn from you, new notes are exempted from you. Bank apps and transfers activities are fluctuating. Tertiary hospital only collect cash and never transfers, so patients' chances of dying surge.

CBN says it's doing all these to prevent election manipulation, yet intentionally distressing the lives of the people you claim to want to protect. In fact, are all security entities responsible for the cause against election manipulation handicapped that it's now left for CBN, whose primary duty is to ensure guided pecuniary stability in the nation, to be the avant-garde?

Meanwhile, fuel is expensive and in dire scarcity. Yet, in all these, some lots, who are equally feeling the distress have a stance that there are no better measures, since they think it's going to favour their candidate that people are suffering, and such is a great case for the campaign. You can't help but imagine how dafter an enclosed lot can, like they are gunner for award of the most daft.

Such a hard time to be a Nigerian.

Anyway, shout out to every Nigerian out there, from the ones eking out a living to the ones who appears to be having it soft. We'll be fully fine someday.

I said it too.

CodeTemplar:

This is the true effect of the naira redesign. It has made the new notes more valuable and cherished by the masses and is back in the hands of those the govt is looking to deny raw cash. It has made the vote buying process sweeter and far more effective for the buyers and seller are more willing to sell. In fact hitherto indifferent folks, are very ready to sell their votes too. It has defeated its intended purpose more than 100%.

Just to hurt Buhari? Buhari is the president of Nigeria who employed Emefiele and Emefiele is doing what Buhari told him. Same thing Buhari did in 1984.

Did you flush your brain down the toilet before posting this rubbish?

Most of you Tinubu/APC supporters reason from your anus. Rather than blame your Messiah, Buhari, you are attacking a region.

So to 'prevent politicians from buying votes', they are causing restlessness in the country, 10 days to election.
A country that even in the best of times, election seasons have always been an edgy time.
Really smart, these lots. They should give them noble prizes.
