I had 9k of old notes, when many rejected I finally saw one aboki that accepted to take it, I burnt all the money on suya.
If not of Buhari, wetin go make me buy suya of 9k.
The most painful part is that people that ate the suya did not even thank me for they believed they were doing me a favour cry

I left the jungle with 62k+ cash. Threw it away three weekends ago and left 1k in my box for future reference. What a world!! But then, no regrets cus I do not plan to visit the country any moment from now so it will always expire at some point.

You 're wrong.
I spent more than expected since i had to buy somethings online which attracted charges.
Again, u are compelled to buy what is not your choice just because u want to buy all from one shop and pay online.
I was more economical with flowing cash than this nonsense occultic policy they used to sacrifice human lives

What used to sell for ₦500, for example, they took ₦1k of the old notes and the exact sum for the new notes.

Now, the old notes are scarcer than the new notes.

Didn't lose a dime. I kept all my old notes because I knew we will still spend it. No where in the world can a currency be completely swapped in three months and Nigeria with her ancestral backwardness is not going to set a precedence by being the first

Lost kwa?throughout the whole madness I never spent a dime withdrawing via POs agents nor spent any depositing and I didn’t spend an 1hr trying to do this at the bank.

I got(1k X 5 new notes)5000 naira at the beginning of that madness and I was able to retain 4k out of that sum the very day I got the money I got to the hall late and the bank said they were out of cash we’re only giving 1k,2k old and dirty 100 and 200 Naira denominations but that very I got crisp 5k new notes.

I knew no one can condemn my hard earned naira not Emefiele and not even Buhari so I didn’t believe in that old notes nonsense I knew in due time i would be able to spend or deposit my money the small old notes i had then.So I wasn’t arsed.

I lost 11,000 trying to deposit 300k.I actually went to CBN headquarters in Abuja; security directed us back to our commercial institutions, First Bank said they've not receive any directives to re -accept the old notes.Someone use Zenith to deposit it for me and they chargee 11k for the job.
Don't blame me for keeping it after deadline,we were using it in Niger State until Buharis statements that made everyone stop accepting it.
Na market woman I be
God bless our hustle.

Wise Orientation.



But over here in UGEP Where there is just one first Bank operating; the problem now is that you wouldn't be able to enter the bank because of the excess crowd fighting outside.

it's because of your likes that Nigeria is in a total mess today.

You play and laugh over everything.
You can't even navigate the source of your problems in this country.

Did you know that the CBN Gov. Is just a tool (house boy) in the hands of the President of Nigeria?

Did you know that he consults the president and takes directives from the President before carrying out any form of policy implementation?

If at your age, you can't understand that Buhari is calling the shots and deciding what happens in this country then you need a brain upgrade.

In 1983 Buhari came up with this naira swap policy was Emefule the CBN Gov then.

See, you must all understand that the problem is Buhari.
If you blame the CBN Gov and exonerate Buhari then you are just a Fool with no brain

Thank your star I woke up on the right side of the bed today, if not I Fõr tell you wetin u go like hear today .





Since we’ve been taking everything so serious , what have we achieved with our collective ‘seriousness’?
In your head, you think if I lost such amount of money, nairaland is the go to place to rant?.

My brother, one yoruba adage says, when a problem is more than what crying can solve , laughing might solve it.



And yes no sensible person will exonerate Buhari whom we voted for and put all the blames on cbn governor who was appointed and only working on directives of FG.

On another side, cashless policy is good but I really don’t think Nigerians are ready for it besides government should have put measures in place to cushion the effect of the policy on us. It’s strange to us , they can’t expect us to adapt so easily .
