They should do it at least 5000 and 10000 naira note just as CFA because the 1000 naira note now is as useless as 'P' in psychology.
Do you really know the economic implications of this yor suggestion? Make research before......

Experts in the house… what's your take on this?
Because this will be a total Inflation. The same happened with Zimbabwe, that their currency has become almost useless that they now request only the US Dollars for transactions.
it’s not what caused the inflation. The face inflation for western sanctions the sanctions with Venezuela. Ghana face inflation too and they add 10k notes. Inflation is why they print higher denomination because it pointless to print valueless currency like we are doing today

They want it to be easier for politicians to carry more funds for vote buying. Imagine just 1 bullion van entering bourdillon instead of 4.
The bulkier the money the more difficult it is hence they stated using dollars.

I have made this suggestion sometimes ago. You don't even need to be a financial expert to know this.

Due to the reduction in the purchasing power and the hyper-inflation in the country, the need for the CBN to issue higher denomination notes is sacrosanct. Abi, until when we start using a bundle of N1000 note to purchase a cube of Maggi, bah?





Oga, what exactly are you saying? You must be a young person in Nigeria.

They should honour bubu n yekini with the notes. As it stands now our highest denomination is less than $1.

JuanDeDios:
I've been saying this. Having N1000, which is less than 1 dollar, as your biggest currency note is untenable
You should be campaigning for ten Naira to be equal to the dollar, not printing higher denominations to match the dollar.

That is economic stupidity.

You are actually the one that doesn't understand basic economics! The denomination has little to do with inflation.

Buhari printing N22trln of ways and means did 100 times more damage than having N10,000 note will ever do.

Operating a N20trln deficit does more damage to inflation than the value of your denomination will ever do.

The critical thing CBN needs to do is to ensure that if they print 1 million notes of N10,000 bills, which is N10bln in value, they have to remove equivalent value in lower denominations from the market so that money supply remaiins the same.

Manyfacturers do not increase prices because of the level of denomination.

If Milo is N100, it remains N100.

That gist of the denomination will increase inflation is actually the beer parlour gist
Texbook Economics.

Will you be the one to tell the Millo seller to sell for N100, or the Farmer to sell his yam for N200, I wonder which theory supports this your speculations, its a free market, remember.

Please there is a huge difference between theories and reality.

Textbook -wise, you score A+, But applying this to Nigeria, unfortunately, its Zero

The naira should be redenominated.
For example, N1,000 should be redenominated to N1, N500 to 50 kobo, and so on.

Printing N2000 for example only means the CBN gets to halve the resources needed to create a legal tender that exchabges N2000 worth of value.

We are talking and praying on how to improve Nigeria economy so that Kobo would become relevant... then someone is giving suggestions to further gaslight Nigeria economy...

See it this way... Nigerian economy is badly wounded... and rather than suggest means of healing... the so-called experts suggest draining out blood and cutting out more bones and tissue from the body...

Well I know Nigeria will live again... RENAISSANCE
Re: Experts Urge CBN To Issue Higher Naira Denominations Of N10,000 And N20,000 by franvincoop: 12:37pm On Oct 30, 2025
It's not nonsense, it's actually A LOT OF SENSE.
Even CFA has 2000, 5000 and 10,000 single notes without your SUPERSONIC INFLATION fears and emotion.
Mind you a 5000 naira note will not even have the value of a 2000 CFA note.

2015
1000 naira = 3100 CFA

2025
1000 naira = 388 CFA

The argument being made is not about the value of the naira, we all know naira is not even worth the paper it's printed on.
The argument is about the portability of the naira.
Know the difference.

Namaster:
Experts in what?
Stupidity and buffoonery?
Do they know anything about Macroeconomics?

If the CBN implements the NONSENSE, we'll leave the realms of Galloping inflation for the stratosphere of SUPERSONIC inflation.

We'd be using a Wheelbarrow-load of money to buy SNIPER while looking to the sweet release of death with FONDESS.

"Experts" should STOP this nonsense and go back to their Beer Parlour.

Klington:
Nobody is urging them to issue anything. It's just apc and tinubu way of destroying the country completely.
Heffalump:
Those calling for higher naira denominations have evil intentions. Do you know how this will drive inflation? It is very illogical to have higher notes when the purchasing power of the naira is low. Why do developed nations like US, Britain, and France, etc don't have crazily higher notes? Yet we thrive to evolve like them. Those who want higher naira notes should simply create their own currency and introduce one million denomination if they like.
tymicjay77:
Stupid advice from clowns, it baffled me how this people dnt copy developed nation economy policies.they will not replicate the good things from those country. Having a higher denomination with this unstable economy and harsh economy,it will lead to higher inflation and also it will render almost all lower denomination to be useless there increase price of commodity for common man.atleast we can still buy things of 100# ,200# and so on .. having a denomination of 10,000 and above means seller will by sole decision start rejecting those denomination that a common man usually have.
exactly...

this just screams that Tinubu wants to put himself on a currency...

it is a very wicked and useless idea to issue N5,000 and N10,000 notes

exactly. Redominating it solves both creating/printing of higher denomination and all behavioural reactionary issues anticipated from the lower cadre.

It’s long overdue. I would suggest 5000 and 10000 for a start. After a years or 2 we can add 20000.

More of 5k then fewer 10k. and make 20k very scares to see.

When obj introduce 1000 the value today would be like 30-40k. People shouted then. Because it almost amounts to 10$ at the time. Considering dollars also devalued too.

If you give anyone 1k then they will look it in the sun or through touch light just to tell you of it value as at then. But not anymore today.

The only alternative is to redenominate the naira by removing 2 zero or bring higher denomination. If you withdrew 100k in the market. You can’t even use it to buy anything tangible which shouldn’t be.

In fact it should have been done last year.

Higher denomination doesn’t translate to more money in circulation. It only means money on circulation os compressed and scares to see around.

In response to people saying it will cause inflation like zimbabwe
it’s not what caused the inflation there. The face inflation by western sanctions. Same sanctions with Venezuela. Ghana face inflation too and they add 10k notes. Inflation is why they print higher denomination because it pointless to print valueless currency like we are doing today. They print higher denomination to counter the inflation. Not the higher denomination cause the inflation. If 20 billion is in circulation and you mob it up with higher denomination with the same 20billion it won’t cause inflation. Alternative is to remove some zero from the currency.

Obj add the option to remove some zero but the senate rejected it. So they introduced higher denomination.

These are power brokers, inventors, decision maker, etc
Do you know how much they say US is owning, does it affect them? No
In 10yrs the price of bread may not increase in this countries, and they will be telling you who are suffering to remove subsidy
Stop the comparison
You failed to comprehend my sincere point bro.
There are ethical and economic reasons why these developed nations don't have higher currency bills. We thrive to copy them in everything, including tax policies. So why not consider the aspects of currency regulation?

Expert from hell.

Tell the expert we even need to revert to using only N200 and N100 and N 50 and other lower currency Denominations. We don't need N1000 anymore.

This will force price of everything down and our currency will gain value . If N200 is our highest currency price of goods will go down.

Our currency had much more value when N20 was our biggest currency Denomination.

A hindred dollar note is equivalent to N150,000. Our highest denomination is 150 times smaller. Why should they need N30,000,000 (thirty million naira) note?

if you have 30 billion in circulation the highest denomination is 1000 notes. You can’t even use withdraw half of the notes and destroyed it. Then introduce higher denomination of half the currency 15bllion. You now have fewer note in circulation with more value.

What causes inflation is having excess money. And Not higher denomination. You can’t even use hardly buy anything useful with 1k notes and destroyed as of today.

Do you know how much naira jas been devalueld since Obj's regimei?

Do you know the implications of having higher denominations in circulation within a weak economy like Nigeria?

Have you try drawing references from the experiences from other nations who adopted such an economic suicide?

Looting amongst our ruling class will become a bragging right cos billions can be looted within a few notes of the new denominations (10k, 20k)

The naira will eventually be so useless that you would need a truck or wheelbarrow to carry ypur money just to buy few items in the market.


Be careful what you wish for.........
bank already have a cap on the naira note that can be withdrawn. From babk or pos. So Where would they get the note to loot? If they are already looting the naira as it is now.. what difference would that make?

The other day Dangote came out and asked people to sell their dollars. Sharp people.
There is a mop up of dollars by the wealthy in anticipation of the new tax implementation and for the 2026 campaign year .
