Why Are These People Agitating For Old Naira Notes Instead Of The New One? by EriMma1(op):
Why are these people fighting for the old naira notes to still be in circulation when they should be fighting for the new ones?

It is true what the CBN govnor is on and about with this policy as its evident from their actions against the ban of the old naira notes that they really wanted to rig the forthcoming elections with the heaps of old naira note stashed up in their vaults.

Instead of beating a dead horse, I believe what should be a cause of concern here is making the new notes available in abundance and not going back on a concluded matter for their selfish interest.

It's just one week to elections. Let's endure till after the elections. We've come a long way already. No one will die enduring the next few days. So I stand with the CBN gov on his insistence on the ban of old notes until after the elections to reduce buying of votes to the barest minimum.

If the new notes is available, people wont be asking for the old notes

The CBN should release old ₦500 and ₦200 o complement the few new notes available

[quote author=Jnrprince1 post=120939541][/quote]Some of u are fixated about politics and elections which your candidate will still lose, most of us are concerned about our daily survival. Old or new, d political class would still buy votes, why not pledge to yourself that u won't sell yours?

Imagine 15 APC governors keeping 50 billion each for election

Good observation. Why are they mandating the use of old naira notes? Same old notes that majority of Nigerians have returned to their banks? Why?

That is why I said, they should be pushing for availability of the new notes and not the old one.

I also think the cost of printing the notes are huge too. They have embarked on the project before they realized that the burden is heavy for them to bear

It will be released after elections because Tinubu's men will grab it for vote buying. This is also the reason they refused to do swapping

[quote author=Jnrprince1 post=120939541][/quote]It doesn't matter cos I don't have the new one either. I've been surviving on transfer and it's only for the moment cos it's not going to be like this forever.

Imagine. Let the billions rot away. That's the whole idea of this policy.

I wonder. I just wonder! 🤔
It shows you they all know what they are doing and the CBN knows it's targets and is hell bent on dealing with them by not going back on his directives and orders.

May God keep Emmy for us abeg.

It's because you don't know how your parents manage to get new Naira notes to cook the food you just eat that is why you are busy asking silly question

God bless you. Your head dey there!

The CBN wants to frustrate their evil agenda at all cost but it's a pity majority can not see this as all they want is instant gratification. They can't sacrifice by enduring a few more days for this course so we can flush out this toxins from the system and enjoy a better tomorrow.

Let us endure ooo Biko!
