If you know Photoshop well well, you'll know this picture is edited, why is all the pictures following same pattern, na uniform all of them wear?, Same head? No doubt he "may" edge in Bornu. The Governor and Shettima factor may play out.

So wike has been paying his 200,000 "aides" between 10,000-30,000 monthly, I had thought say na better money him dey pay them. Nawah o, how them go take spend the money with the current price of things? Now I see why a lot of people here supports this people even though they know they can't fix Nigeria. If you are one of them here, the earlier you know the money will stop after election and you'll go back to your joblessness the better for you. VOTE for improved standard of living, VOTE COMPETENCE.

This country is very difficult to manage, I tell you. CBN gave a three month window, people refuse to deposit money, extended it still people refuse, rolled out new money, bank officials monetized it and gave it to highest bidder boycotting the massive masses. If CBN had printed lots of money and released into circulation aggressively like you said, would it have gotten to the masses too? I think majority of it would have also been courted by the elites. I just weak for Nigeria. Now people are destroying banks and they expect them to work? We come back to complain again that money is not circulating, after shutting down banks? I mean... people working in banks are human being too, since if them have been traumatized.

EagleNest:
CBN and Banks messed the whole exercise up by not distributing the new Naira notes quickly and aggressively. I still find fault with the timing but the ship has already sailed.

Their are in for a futile exercise, who is to enforce Supreme court order? Governors?Them go soon tire, I pity any youth that would be allowed to be used for cause riot, then go take am do scape goat. The Governor seats in the comfort of his house or office enjoying immunity and instigating other people's children to cause anarchy.

IpobAntidote:
All the States together are stronger than any mumu CBN Governor or even the Federal might. All States make theor stance clear and unequivocal, they are stronger together than the olodo semi educated dumb ass worst CBN Governor ever. Revoke all their C of Os. Since they have refused to follow the Supreme court ruling then they are violating the laws of the land.
Especially the major States that constitute the economic backbone of the country- Lagos, Ogun, Rivers and Kano.

Ask Fayose who did

Mrmb:
Who wan declare the state of emergency?

Ganduje is Kano's number one citizen, nobody other than him has the right to declare such...

Make the banks kuku close their branches, make we see who go suffer. How can you threaten or coerce them to collect money that their regulator has oedered them not to collect?

Another one! Vote Tinubu just because you want to pepper Buhari not on his capacity and capability to make Nigeria work? And na youth you be o

nothingspoil70:
The only way we can pay back this Buhari and his cabal in their own coins is to make sure we vote Tinubu next week Saturday so they will be ashamed.

All this punishment just because you want to catch one man.

Mtchew

El-Rufai na sule, valid till 100 years my foot. So El Rufai is saying the old 5, 10, 50 paper notes, and old hundred naira too will remain valid for 100 years?

Onanuga should leave Buhari alone after all, all their campaign venue have always been filled to the brim.

You don't expect faiths in the minority to fight or be entitled to Deputy Governors in a one faith dominated State, but in an emotional like Nigeria where the Christian and Islamic faithful are "almost" equal you cannot fly a same faith ticket and expect people to embrace it. Even the Presidential candidate of APC claimed he was not in support of it, a reason why he nominated Osinbajo to be VP.

Aldol:
Yet in all the six eastern states none of their governors or their deputies be Muslim. Their politics of hate will backfire very soon and go shock them , just few days remain.

"Adeyeye urged the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, to heed advised by the Council of State on the current new naira note scarcity". [/b]May that structure of criminality of buying votes perish with you[b]

No security agent can burst a Governor as he enjoys immunity, neither can they burst the government house especially under Buhari's regime, if it were to be OBJ they might. So I wouldn't completely rule out an iota of truth in this news.

Iamgrey5:
Even Tinubu took his famous Bullion vans from Banks at Eve of the presidential election.

Baba, no politician is as dumb as you think..

A governor will never keep 22bn cash anywhere.

Una done go court nah, make una rest attend to other issues Nigeria is facing nah, patriotic Governors my foot.

Even if one is trying to shy away from APC's Tinubu interest in this naira redesign saga, the way the PCC and Tinubu has been taking this stuff personal has really shown the policy is hitting them hard.

Clamp down on POS operators is not just enough, those selling it to them too should share out of whatever penalty meted on them especially Filling stations.

PlayMaker14:
I support the CBN on this one.... They should not just withdraw their license, but also throw some of them into prison and use them as a scapegoat.

Country Bad, Country Bad, but you still dey press your fellow citizen for neck, looking for ways to extort each other.

If you check those POS agents giving this ridiculous charges, they always look unkempt, lack courtsey and look stupid.

In matters of national security, the President can chose to ignore courts order, just like Buhari has done in the case of Nnamdi Kanu, Dasuki. Let's see if the FG would obey this.

Meanwhile his people down the south have been slaughtered several times while he look the other way. And you expect me to vote someone who do not care about his own just because he is Yoruba?

All these won't work, start sealing any bank branch trying to sabotage CBN's effort and place a heavy sanction on their headquarter and see how they'll comply, all these questioning here and there won't work. Abii CBN no be regulatory body again ni...

You were pushed out of power by the powers that be, EFCC was not able to establish any charge against you and you were discharged and acquitted. Your only sin was campaigning for them, go and sin no more.

We all know your emilokan now appears concerned suddenly to the state of the nation, we will never fall for his eye service. Is this the first time we will have shortage of fuel in supply across the country? What has been his reaction hitherto? I bet you, if not that he isbone of the major actor in the forthcoming election he wouldn't have said pim... Wolf in sheep clothing.

searchng4love:
Not APC Mamman Daura and co

They only talk about what their interest, what about Fuel scarcity? You wouldn't talk to Abuja about it too because you're not affected by it. Na this scarcity of naira affect you well well

CBN needs to put in more effort through security agencies to arrest staff of financial institutions selling the naira. As members of the public too, the official Twitter handle should be responsive and swift to videos of evidence of POS attendants trading the naira, their arrest will lead to the capture of their croonies in banking halls trading the naira.

Well said

Urchinpainer:
.

Oga, the amount of money needed for election is not what you see in parties. We are talking of billions! So what Emefiele is doing is working 100%

Dey there dey deceive yourself, 1000, 500 and 200 new notes were people done dey sorry for party in bails, question is how did these people get them? Because they are influential? Or have their cronies in banks? What is the fate of you and I today have people in banks?

Urchinpainer:
Emefiele continue doing the Lord's work. ISWAP is doing giveaway already. Soon, politicians will remember their forgotten relatives for village. The bullion van people will not see new note to waste this February. Make them go ATM go queue for 20k daily

To forestall cases like this the ATM machine should have been configured to switch off automatically. Everybody go rest.

But they have POS agents

Parachoko:
Some of una dey talk as if nah every where for Nigeria internet penetration dey

Some LG areas in Nigeria no get any bank

Copying policies of developed nations has been one of our problems, solution to our problems should be tailor made, Nigerians are not as patriotic as those guys you want us to copy. They don't buy votes, neither do they stack cash at home like our politicians do here, their mental framework is far different from ours, our how do you explain someone preferring cash to rather rotten than give to the less privileged? Those guys fund foundations to give to the less privileged without expecting votes in return, ours stock palliatives and other privileges meant for millions of people at home while the supposed beneficiaries cry and die of hunger? Until we customise policies in Nigeria to frustrate these circumventers, we wouldn't progress because there a lot of devil incarnate in power whose aim is to kill, steal and destroy not minding whose ox is gored.

SunMusk:
Let the money ease to become a legal tender on the 31st January but banks should collect it until March or April. This is how advance country do things. The running of monetary policy is in the hand of the cbn. Not the president, even US president didn't have a say when the FED make policy. But Nigeria is just corruption corruption.The should just focus on the fiscal policy of things through is ministers. This confusion should stop if Nigeria must get it right.

I can't agree less.

MatrixCircle:
Now kidnappers and corrupt politicians are now distributing thier ill gotten wealth among bankers and some hired people to go and pay into the banks because most of them can't pay in the loots in thier names. That's the reliable information circulating.
Man did the Nigerian politicians started speaking for the poor masses if not in a way for them to pay in the ill gotten loots.
At least 10 days extention will not enter election periods.
Let people vote thier conscience and a better Nigeria.

You're right, there is a video making the rounds of an individual who was spraying with bails of 500 naira new note, my calculation from the clip I got amounted to 500,000 (10 bails of 500 naira), I'm sure he would have more of it for him to gift a scarce currency of such, the CBN has to go tough and harsh on commercial banks who defy loading ATMS only with the new currency as directed by the CBN Governor and not pay over the counter. Deposit only should be done over the counter and even if new notes will be given over the counter, the withdrawal limit should be strictly adhered to. The guy's account should be traced, the bank and the official who issued him sick large amount of money should be severely dealt with.

Bahamas95:
If you have an opportunity to leave this cursed country don't hesitate to do that.....These politicians don't have anything good to offer Nigerians. They always come up with policies to inflict more suffering on the masses.


Changing of the currencies doesn't make sense to me because the criminals have it in their houses already. Just a phone call and bank managers would be in their door post.


Since this rubbish start una don see any politician pikin for queue? Nigerians be wise!

Postponed or not, I don't expect the new naira note to be everywhere as was the old one, the idea of the whole currency redesign is to reduce money in circulation and push transactions online.

If you've been a student of and scholar in life, you should have known that school grade does not translate to being successful or an achiever in life. That guy that finished with first class or had A1 parallel in your class, is he/she the most successful in your class?

TheChameleon:


This guy really finished with a 3rd class

You think Almajiri in villages care about your app?

I am disappointed that of all people... instead of Okoros to present Soludo, a 1st Class...they presented a useless idiot.
