TheStarsAlign: Everything is perspective. I needed cash so bad on Tuesday 14th. All the ATM I visited had at least 200 people plus you may need to fight dirty before your turn (that is even if it gets to your turn before the machine shut down o). I found a POS service selling old currency at 10% and bought some (people were still accepting the note as at then). On Wednesday 15th, FG went crazy with the hammer & everybody started rejecting the money. You expect I should keep the remaining money under my bed? A lot of people may have similar story.
Summary, you should only judge when you've heard their story.
Pos should be for small amount I guess. Am talking about those people with sacks filled with money. No excuse for that. Am feeling the heat too but all my money as at January 2nd was lodged into my bank account.

"Character wise, Nasir has not much going for him".
"My vivid recollection of him is his penchant for lying, for unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty for long".
"I believe that he can still be used in public service under guidance and sufficient oversight, making allowance for the psychology of his petit size".
"He was described as a malicious liar. He was more than that; he is a pathological purveyor of untruths and half - truths with little or no regard for integrity".

Maybe PMB doesn't want this election to hold & to achieve this, he wants to intentionally create chaos. My brother got to CBN Marina 6am this morning, he is number 420 on d queue. Majority of the pple there couldn't generate code on @cenbank site. How do one explain this madness? pic.twitter.com/yZh6hrg6zi
look at what stubbornness causes. You had 115 days to do this gently with your banks, but no. Nigerians can never be fine. Forget the leaders. Are they not from among us?
a4cube: No protest. Just called two guys now. One at Ngbuka and the other at relief market. Onitcha is calm and bubbling with money making activities as always.
It is true. Called main market ecobank now. There is chaos.
IamBoysonic: The Diobu region and mile 1 in Portharcourt city currently in chaos over the naira swap policy Banks are being destroyed and set on fire, people are out on the roads protesting. Residents living in that region have been advised to stay indoors due to gun shots being heard
Nigeria what way?
Wike acting what Tinubu told him. You have failed already.
Oga Nigerians are nor passing through any hardship more than what we had in the last 7years. It is you that is passing through rough times cause all the money you looted are about to become toilet paper. Buhari carry go.
Britishpea: Buhari can’t do nadaaa. Except he’s ready to throw Nigeria in a state of anarchy. If he messes up with EL Rufai, which he dare not, watch as other states will begin to make same pronouncements.
El Rufai didn’t just wake up to announce this. It is a coordinated arrangement and he’s asked to forward it being a BuHaris man.
In few days watch as other states will pronounce the same. Buhari will fail on this woefully. Funny enough he can’t arrest any governor
Social media users have been sharing a video of some Nigerian men carrying sacks of old N500 and N1000 notes to the Central Bank of Nigeria branch in Gombe State. This occurs shortly after President Buhari declared that the old N500 and N1000 notes are no longer valid forms of payment.
BluntCrazeMan: I AM NOT REFERRING TO ANY CASE OR ANY KNOWN SITUATION IN PARTICULAR HERE..
I am just trying to know --- on a very normal ground where every other circumstances are in perfect order --- which one is supposed to supersede the other..??
The Presidents address can be taken also as the executive order which supersedes all know law of the land.
As the race for the presidency intensifies across Nigeria's political landscape ahead of the much-anticipated general elections, a video showing the moment the vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed tackled the northern political class opposing his candidacy and that of his principal, Peter Gregory Obi, has surfaced online.
While addressing a hall filled with governors, elders, and political elites at the Northern Assembly on Wednesday, Datti, who is the younger brother to the Spokesman for the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, stated that the reason why the Arewa region has not had good leaders in government is because they do not like to hear or speak the truth when it matters the most.
Going further, the Labour Party VP candidate tackled northern leaders for attempting to resist the candidacy of Peter Obi despite knowing his track records and antecedents as former Anambra governor.
Rounding up his speech, Datti insisted that those opposing the Obi-Datti ticket among the region's political elites would not be able to stop the Labour Party from emerging victorious because Nigerians have since decided to vote for competence and capacity.
"Irresponsible governance is responsible for the situation we are in. Where you see the problem, we see the solution. Our history and records have shown that we were able to create wealth, we did not derive wealth from the government. Logically speaking, we know how to move Nigeria from consumption to production. We are the ones who will bring an end to this endemic corruption. Imagine a governor who served 8 years without borrowing a penny, left 75 billion behind for his state, and refused to sign a law that would have enabled him to collect money.
Match that with a vice, who, when in 2006, they were selling Apo houses, not that the Act was wrong, but I disagreed with the principle of repayment. I was the only Senator among the 360 that refused to buy. The truth of the matter is that we don't say the truth, we don't like the truth, and we don't support the truth. And that is why we have not yet been able to touch Allah's Rahma (God's mercy) by getting the right leaders. Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. That idea now is that Nigerians have decided to vote for competence that you can trust, characters that you know, compassion that you can feel, and capacity that has been proven. We shall meet at the polls."
I just feel this man's political career is over after 25th February.
The Zamfara State Gov owed govt workers 6 months salary. With the redesign of the Naira which would have rendered all old currencies useless by Feb 10, he brought out all these old notes & paid off the 6 months salaries owed. Cry my beloved country 😢 Ironically, he is one of 3 state governors suing the Fed Govt over the new notes policy.
