PoliticsRe: How Cashless System Can Help Track Election Financing In Nigeria"- Osinbajo by somehow: 6:28pm On Jan 30, 2023
The money politics Tinubu played at the APC primaries didn't go down well with alot of APC politicians like Buhari, Osinbajo, Ameachi, Bakare etc, so they have decided to make sure this doesn't occur again in the general elections.

Tinubu and Atiku are known to use money and thuggery to muscle their way through, so this should work against both of them.

Except they want to start transferring straight to the accounts of the voters, or share ₦100 bundles instead, I wonder how they plan to make this work.

Alot can be achieved if we build character.


Character is like oil that helps the engine keeps going.

No matter how great an engine is, without oil, it won't go far.

How many Nigerian christians can do that? Rejecting N10 million dollars? That is one way people sell their soul to the devil. If you earn a living or make money by encouraging sin, you have sold your soul to the devil. No rituals is needed.

Matthew 13:41:
the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things,

Matthew 12:30
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

Luke 17:1-3
Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

Have you ever withdrawn ₦100,#50,₦10 and ₦5 in any Nigerian ATM?

There's nothing wrong with him redesigning some of our currency, infact, people have been told to com and deposit the old Naira notes with them and people have been complying.

The issue is giving a short timeline for when the old notes will be phase out when the new notes have not circulate. Naira scarcity would be disastrous to the Nigerian economy at this period.

I'm sure reasonable opinion would prevail and the date will be push forward.

It won't even work, I'm 100% sure Emefiele will have no choice but to extend the deadline.
Seems you're only interested in winning the argument. You can win if that's what matters to you.

People like you dey always make me laugh grin

You asked me to cite an example, I have giving you two examples but you start to dey change mouth.

Very powerful politicians in Nigeria will get new naira notes from the banks when they need it.
And I told you what you cited doesn't tally because their reasons differ.

One is changing hers because the former ruler died and they need the new head of their king (His reign is till his death) there.

The other is changing hers because of economic, corruption, election malpractice and insecurity purposes.

80+% of the changed notes are not in the system/economy, meaning they are being used for illegally purposes and can't be traced.

That of election malpractice is just few weeks away.

Now I hope you understand why your example can't work?

You made a very important point: small space. So let me start from the beginning with the assumption that VT is a must.

Academically speaking, I will reject this plan with the VT in the living room. It is possible architecturally not to put the VT in the living room and still have a great plan.

Now let's assume I bought this building from you, like you said, it is what it is.

The improvement I will make will include closing off the toilet door to the living room and place the door in the entry pouch. So visitors access the VT from the entry pouch. I've seen this done. This will mean doing a floor to ceiling burglary proof in the entry pouch to prevent unauthorised access to the VT.
Here's how mine was done.

Naira is not been hoarded for election purpose alone. The people hiding the Naira notes didn't just start hiding it. And nah mostly corrupt public officer, politicians and people making money illegally dey mostly hoard cash.


There are locations in this Nigeria, where most of the people never even see the new naira, but all that no concern you, the hardship and confusion it will cause no concern you, nah election matter just full your head. Since when you don dey vote sef?

There is nothing wrong with releasing redesign naira notes, but it does not make sense to phase out the old Naira notes within 2-3 month.

People still dey spend US dollars that was printed in the 70's and 80's even though the US dollar have been redesign after the 80's.
(1) We didn't change our currency, we changed 3 notes out of 8 notes. (Note this)

(2) CBN gave reasons to why they changed these 3 notes.

The reason is why they made sure the prototype wasn't available until they were ready to be released.

The reason is why the time frame given can't be faulted to be short, else why change them at all?

The issue you're having is that you do not understand why CBN changed these 3 notes, this is evident in your comments so far.

You do not understand the reasons, so your comments/examples are mostly off.

Click on the link I shared with you

Nah direct from the Bank Of England. Stop disgracing yourself online.

It makes no sense to change the currency of a country within 2-3 month. It makes no common sense.

Even though the expo is before you in the screenshot, but you still don't want to use your common sense smh

In 2024, new notes will be introduce in the UK, that does not mean the old notes will be phased out in 3-4 month. Emefiele is the most terrible CBN governor in this 4th Republic.
I want to believe you can read.
If so, kindly go back to my last post, read, understand what I wrote, then compare with your response to see if they fit.

I also told you why what you're using as an example does not tally with why we changed these notes, yet my point keeps flying over your head.

I showed you an example, yet, you're here blabbing.

What does the bolded have to do with the issue at hand?

You're just blabbing up and down.

The time limit is just so short, there's no where thing kind of thing is possible. There's not even enough New Naira notes to circulate.

I wish you are in Lagos so we can have a bet if this policy will be extended or not. The deadline will be shifted.

There will be scarcity of the Naira if the deadline is not shifted.
Do you know the meaning of the word 'example' ?
What you used as example haven't even happened, and you called it an example?

Have they printed the new notes and has it been released?
Like I said, the reason for proposing to print new notes have no colleration with why we are doing ours, so use a suitable example next time.

And please, don't make me think I have been wasting my time all these while.

When you present a true example, I will dignify you with a response.

Thanks.

UK won't be phasing out the currency with Queen Elizabeth portrait in 2 month after new pounds with King Charles Portrait start getting release
They don't have election malpractice and insecurity reasons for the printing of the new currency nor do they have hoarding reasons.

Out of ₦2.3 trillion (old notes) printed by CBN, only 20% or less are in circulation. Is this not enough reason to wonder why people are hoarding these old naira notes?

Can you mention one country in the world where such a thing is done within 2-3 month.

Make we even use UK as example

The UK go introduce new currency in 2024 and it does not mean the old currency will be phase out immediately like Emefiele is senselesly doing.

There should be no need for all this rush

I withdrew in a GTB ATM this morning, nah old notes the ATM dispense, what will you do in this situation on a Saturday morning?
Cite an example of a country that took more than 2 months to phase out (3 notes from their currencies).

This is why CBN is fining them for refusing to adhere to the directives.

We have ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500 and ₦1000 notes, only 3 of these were changed, yet you want 1 year grace.

The reasons for fading out these 3 notes were listed out by CBN, yet you're talking about them rushing it or you think it was just done for no reason?

I got new notes from fuel stations the last time I went to get fuel. I insisted on the new notes.

Currently, I do not have any of the changed notes in my possession and not ready to collect them going forward.

It's not rocket science, insist on the new notes or stick to Cashless banking for the time being.

What you're suggesting does not make common sense. What you can just do is to report them. The old Naira is still legal till Jan 31st. Please I hope you will start doing all this you're talking about from Monday sha, cause talk is cheap

Printing new money and thinking it will circulate within 2 month all over Nigeria makes no sense
How on earth do conclude what makes sense or not?

Why should you collect old notes from the banks when CBN directed we move old notes there to collect new ones?

Do you see that it's good to always think deeply before responding to what you are yet to comprehend?

2 months is enough for all banks to have the new notes!

ALL THESE BANKERS ARE CRIMINALS

WHAT THE BANKS DID IS THEY TOOK THE MONEY IN THEIR VAULT PLUS THE ONES CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN BRINGING IN FOR EXCHANGE THEN WENT TO CBN TO GO COLLECT NEW NOTES

CBN EXCHANGED THE OLD NOTES FOR THEM CAUSE THERE IS PAPER WORK AND RECORDS FOR ALL THE MONIES THEY BROUGHT IN

NOW WHAT THE BANKS NOW DID IS TO SELL THE NEW NAIRA NOTES THEY COLLECTED FROM CBN TO THE POLITICIANS AND KIDNAPPERS

SO NOW THEY CAN'T GO BACK TO CBN TO COLLECT NEW NOTES CAUSE THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN WHERE THEY GOT THE OLD NAIRA NOTES THEY BRINGING IN FOR EXCHANGE TO CBN CAUSE THERE IS NO RECORD THAT THE MONIES WAS DEPOSITED BY A CUSTOMER


FOR THEM TO GO COLLECT NEW NOTES FROM CBN....THEY HAVE TO GIVE CBN OLD NOTES IN EXCHANGE

CBN ISN'T GIVING THEM FREE MONEY

COME AND COLLECT 1 BILLION NAIRA NEW NOTES.....THEY HAVE TO DROP 1 BILLION NAIRA OLD NOTES AND SHOW RECORDS HOW THAT 1 BILLION NAIRA OLD NOTES WAS COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS
Now, this is someone that can think.

It cannot be debated with, because someone who has not watched something cannot form a valid opinion on it.

I have read reviews and seen clips from Game of Thrones, but I have never watched it. If someone is talking about it today, I will not comment on it because I do not have enough information to form an opinion on it.

If you haven't watched something, common sense requires you to not make any judgements on it.
Small test.

Do you have an opinion of a country you haven't lived in or visited? (Even though I watched a trailer of the movie in view)
