Lolz... E be like say Buhari don carry Tinubu and these APC Govs handicap

If this is true, then it is clear that Buhari has intelligence that most of the monies kept by Tinubu and APC Govs for vote buying are in the higher denominations(#1000 and #500), so he is now telling them that they have been destroyed. This of course means that they can no longer be recirculated to the public and hence are no longer legal tender. But the old #200 notes can be re-circulated to the public to ease the suffering of people.

Smart move!!!

The Govs know that at this point they cannot continue to use the "people" to pursue their selfish aim of vote buying. The people can use the old #200 notes as well as the new notes. But the billions of naira in #1000 and #500 that were kept will become useless and cannot be deployed for vote buying as voters cannot accept monies that no other person or institution(including banks) would accept.

Buhari na real guyman if this is true.
old man that mean well for his children (citizens) won't behave like this. Malami is behind this

I have always felt that it was totally
unnecessary to include the N200 note
in the current redesign, because no
serious looter will warehouse N200
amongst their loot. CBN also put undue
pressure on itself by including it.❗️

But, Emefiele being a mediocre at best
and Buhari also being a low IQ person
sat together to orchestrate this monumental
suffering on the citizens❗️❗️

Emefiele should not release any more money till after election. Nigerians have endure almost 8yrs of hardship and COVID-19, so few weeks of the naira swap won't kill them.
Just cos you believed naira redesigning is to nail Tinubu and people should continue suffering abi....do not worry everybody eyes go clear soon.

all the millions stashed in their personal vaults were printed by them Abi? the CBN have printed the amount they need to control inflation, so if it's not in the hands of the regular citizens, then it will be in the hands of greddy politicians.

APC must be punished in this general election.
Fighting among themselves doesn't concern us.

This evil party and their cabals must be shown the way out period!
This failure of a God-forsaken party must be kicked out at all costs.

Reason the government is pushing the lower denomination into circulation and making the higher one more scarce is beyond my understanding, the other time I saw banks with the coins, which I believe they'll want the citizen to start spending too is unknown, cos realistically all these denominations are invaluable, tell me what I can purchase with 2naira when the least goods in the market cost more than 50naira, I believe this guys are living in some form of simulation, cos how the hell can this ideas solve corruption and inflation if that's the reason for all this shvt

Obi Odense folks are actually the most stupid species on human beings on Earth. Why do they think this policy favours them? With or without money, Tinubu and Atiku will secure times two of Obi's votes.

You didn't read the stories well. Even if the governors have the old notes. This article states that the old higher denomination in circulation would still be accepted. Which means they can still use their old notes. Meanwhile, all our top Presidential candidates are majority shareholders in many banks. We would be deceiving ourselves thinking they can't get these new notes easily.

But nobody will suffer again

There will be enough cash for everybody but from #200 and below for old notes as well as the new notes

So no problem again

The lower and higher denominations do the same thing.

5 #200 notes is 1 #1000 notes. All na cash and people will have cash for their use.

I really dont understand what the problem is again

Malami will have serious legal problems after this administration. He won't be the first AGF to suffer the consequences of misdeeds while in office, he will join Adoke and Aondoakaa on the journey of disgrace.
Definitely, think he is trying very hard to avoid it.

Yet he was not brilliant when southern Kaduna was burning.
He became dumb when kidnappers took over abj Kaduna road.
He never say a word when ASUU went on strike for almost a year.
Suddenly he muscle courage to fight federal government of which he's part of for obvious reasons.
Someone should remind Elrufai that insecurity is still festering in Kaduna.
He shd move the billions to bank ASAP

No, Sir

The very ist paragraph of the article says that only the #200 old notes will be legal tender till April.

The #500 and #1000 notes will no longer be legal tender nor accepted any where in Nigeria.

I kept asking the question: what then is tbe problem again(at least for the "suffering" people)?

By the way, even if they get the new notes (and how many would each of them get sef), the billlions of naira some of them kept for vote buying will be wasted. Is that not a goo thing??

Owo massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu

Multiple Benue massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu
Southern Kaduna massacre - No protest from APC and tinubu

ASUU strike- no protest from Apc and tinubu
CBN deadline - massive protest from APC because their thieving governors are stuck with illicit cash

If you are educated and still you didn't notice this then your education is a waste

OR

APC made a monetary policy

- APC started complaining about it APC’s policy

- APC says APC has introduced this policy to stop APC from winning the election for APC

- APC went to court to stop APC’s policy

- APC politician is the CBN governor

- APC is the ruling party

- APC is the opposition party

- APC justices at Supreme Court tried to stop APC

- APC refused to obey APC’s court order.

- APC campaign slogan is Rescue mission.

- APC wants to rescue APC from APC.

- APC is currently on trial against APC.

This is what I don't understand. Why exactly are the new notes not being distributed? We already have FX constraint to contend with, now we are having artificial hoarding of local currency. Our leaders are not even giving the economy a chance to experience any significant growth
