You are still saying Total devaluation, has tinubu not totally devalue the naira so that FX can come in easily according to imf

Unfortunately it didn't work, the sudden devaluation pushed foreign companies out

Also with various instant transfer methods nothing will happen

You can't compare Zimbabwe with nigeria

Which resources Zimbabwe get to sell, Zimbabwe wasn't making money only printing money

Go and watch Korean films don't you see them spending 10k yen a note
Zimbabwe natural resources are platinum, gold, chrome, coal, diamonds, nickel, copper, iron ore, asbestos tin and lithium..

Zimbabwe currency is that way because Mugabe government recovered land from wyte thieves usually called colonizers.

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.
Nigeria is overdue for a Naira revaluation.

If we are honest, one of the main reasons why the Naira is so adept at losing value is the fact that Nigerians are quick to raise prices, but don't reverse the increase when the cost factor that caused it has been dealt with or eliminated.

Though I don't watch Korean movies, but this is Nigeria. If there is ever a ₦10,000 note, it will cause more inflation.
But there's inflation already

Why are you emphasizing " more"

10k might be too much, for me by now nigeria suppose don get 5k note

In the U.S., a 75 cl bottle of water typically costs around $3–$4, whereas in Lagos and Ibadan, a similar bottle sells for about ₦200.

₦200 in US dollars is approximately US $0.14 (using a rate of about ₦1 = US $0.000684) 

We should stop comparing Naira to dollar. It just doesn’t work.

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?
I remember you guys said that if they increase people salary that there would be inflation.

The gofament listened to you u guys and did not, the inflation ballooned afterwards out of control, leading to collapse of purchasing power kpatakpata.

Is now you realize that 1k is nearly useless abi ?

That's a nonsense advice o. Danger.

Experts that wants to ruin Nigeria. Turn our country to Venezuela.

If the developed nations have no higher currency of such, don't do it.

We learn from the best and if the us, eu, UK have no such denomination we should not have it either

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?
Nigeria copy them in things that will give more money to politicians

Not things that make country and country citizens viable

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.
Alol !! do you for over a month now i have a #50 on the floor bedside my bed ... no one as picked it up not me not babe

# 50 is not even our lowest currency and it cant buy you local groundnut Then some fuulls claiming to be experts advise CBN to introduce #10,000 & 20, 000 note ... so that #1000 will finally be as uselezz as #50

These people have steal so much money they spend in millions per days they cant relate with a thousand note

even if una dey spend in millions, we grown cashless i almost all my transactions with transfer hardly have #500 on me sef ... so the whole idea of bulky cash mobility is ridiculous now, these people are just evil
Re: Experts Urge CBN To Issue Higher Naira Denominations Of N10,000 And N20,000 by cjfavour(m): 1:13pm On Oct 30, 2025
Bros juxtapose what you just said with what happened to coins in Nigeria. Hope you are in Nigeria when small denomination notes were introduced and you saw how it eliminated the coins? See what all these means is that Tinubu economic theory is not working, simple.
COMPAQ:
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

The problem with guyz like you is You dont shut up where necessary,

Presently in Nigeria, almost everyone is embracing "cashless transactions" opay, moniepoint e.t.c So what problem is higher domination notes coming to solve

of what benefit is a higher note in an economy drowning in hyper inflation ... we have #5, #10, 20, 50 and # 100 all uselezz n valueless already even 1000 the highest currency cant feed a child 3 meals a day

After Cbn waste our little resources to print higher 10k n 20k notes what do you think will happen to the smaller notes then inflation skyrocket again ... why do the rich hate the poor so much, if you must spend millions in a day do transfer, why cash anyways

Proposing for Higher note is a call for Final burial of " naira" no benefit, zero advantage

If you read post carefully you will notice that they arguments doe not hold water they actually at a point argue against higher denomination and at the same time pushing for it.

Agulu analyst a weaker Naira against the dollar is the best for export only people importing toothpick in containers to Next Super Market that would be yarning for high valued Naira against the dollar.

20 years ago even up till now United States has been trying to force China to increase the value of the Yuan China currency accusing China of deliberately devaluing it's currency against the dollar to attract more trade to China. It started when China was a developing nation before China became the super power it is today and it's a strategy that Nigeria should actively pursue not devaluation by printing 20k and 10k notes that's recipe for self inflicted inflation.

They should introduce lower denomination and scrap the 1000 and 500 notes
It cost almost the same amount to print 1000 notes and 200 notes.

So, if government decides to scrap 1000 and 500 notes, they will spend much more money to print the equivalents of those notes in lower denomination and this won't even translate into deflation. Rather, it will mean more cost of production of naira, inconveniencies etc.

What do you know about economic? Perhaps absolutely nothing.

It will totally eroded the value of money. Every manufacturer will be targeting the price of their good in a ratio to higher denomination. Spending habit will change, and servive charge will surge. 1k will look like 100 naira in value, people will see it as a waste of space in their wallets, and you cant easily convince people with it but high denomination.

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.
But, does this work the same way in Nigeria? Because soon enough, marketers will increase the prices of their goods all to meet up with the new notes…
