More endorsement to come on Friday during JUMAT service.. Obi will not win a single state in the entire North and south west..

It's funny you expect him to win in the North or South West, the best he can get is Benue in middle belt, that is very unlikely, even east, he is not sure of half of the states, maybe Abia, Anambra, and one other South South state, election is all about personal interest, when push come to shove, most of those Eastern governors will prefer Atiku, they always have.

Who drone shot help...Atiku & Agbado cassava know themselves that they are going home after Saturday

It's a good thing everyone is on the ballot, take your family out and vote, when they release results know that you voted who you want and the best won.

BossGerald:
Na the same picture Op posted you get this your Oluwole 2003...37million voters??


I never knew tifnubu urchins are this senseless

It's usually advisable to keep quiet and be considered a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

Simple arithmetic, add all the votes together, if by chance Tinubu win you will almost kill yourself.

One thing you should learn, as a Nigerian, never carry politics on your head, no politician is worth it, you might learn the hard way.

Still using it.

Keep spending your 5h and 1k since it is very much in circulation 😂😂

I am still using it, I use it about 2 minutes ago

Thewrath:
Tinubu is taking advantage of the situation in the country and sponsoring additional politically motivated protests,sadly it won’t still save him.

Are you this stupid, what gas Tinubu got to do with Edo state, there was no mention of Tinubu in the post, where did you get your information.

People are only reacting, you can't expect them not to, the problem is Obaseki is in support of the deadline and he just wants to cover his ass.

Frankiss44:
Werey ask you governors why the CBN wasn't cc in the case... But the same CBN governor hosted diplomats and envoys yesterday and told them there is no going back from tthe January 10th date.. You are here quoting law while country is burning and citizens are confused.. Omo as I dey talk to you I don spend 3500 from my old currency oh.. The more the days, the harder it is to spend... You can be keeping yours, that's your fuc*ING business

Your stupidity is on a new level, instead of the CBN governor to address Nigerians, he hosted Diplpmats and Envoys with zero interest in the wellbeing of Nigerians to boost about what he needs presidential approval for

Were you born this dumb or you or you had to cultivate it.

XLence:
Lol. See where you've landed. You want to make it an issue of INTELLECT instead of INTEREST, of the parties in the suit.Okay, the two states that have joined the suit as respondents are also not wise? Watch as the list of states grows on either side. This is a game of ostrich. Arguments won't change a damn thing. For your own good dispose of your old notes. This is the Nigeria many of you have been celebrating.

Thanks for your concern, but we don't give a crap, let the list grow, a governor supporting the deadline, but protesters are demonstrating and burning banks in his state, 50 percent of those in his state can't get money (cash, old or new) and you are saying he is wise, that is the height of foolishness, to think you can bold use that kind of an idiot as example say a lot about your state of mind.

TimT:
Kids Okay... Go out there and use old notes..

Still using it, you can close your shop if you are pained.

Sermwell:
But you sound as if those supporting it are not part of the suffering masses! I don't understand! Just say you're supporting your salve masters

They supporting out of hatred, they have been told in their WhatsApp group that some of the aspirants want to buy votes and they have old notes in stock.

That is the real problem, if you say you care about the masses but they can lose all they have as far as your candidate can have an upper hand, according to you, he is a magician, once elected he will make everything perfect.

If POS operators still don't have new notes and some POS agents have thousands of naira they can take to the bank because they won't get equivalent cash back, how can you honestly say you are happy and it's good for him, all he did was open a business, he didn't do anything illegal, why should he suffer.

It's a different thing if the new notes is available and you can just walk in and make the exchange, the idea is stupid then, it's stupid now, I don't care if anyone electoral chance is destroyed, you can't sacrifice Nigeria on the alter of any politician.

XLence:
Sir, CBN is not a party to the suit. Also, this issue borders on fiscal policy by agency of government. It's like someone dragging CBN to court over interest or exchange rates. The only difference here is that currency swap borders on morality (human rights), but again same arguments can be made for the scenarios I painted above. Truth is, Nigeria have always had weak institutions, and some of us have always celebrated this until now. This is a game of ostrich and only CBN and PMB can settle the issue.

Young man, CBN doesn't need to be in the suit, CBN is not an arm of the government, they can't give directives, whatever the president says, CBN has to follow.

The fact that you think CBN have a say explain how little you understand about our system of government, once a case is in court, the president can't do anything, he can influence the judges to do his bidding but he can't make a decision on an ongoing case. So yes, we can celebrate and continue to spend our old notes, watch how the presidency will avoid the discussion or try to say little by using those they can discard to address the issues, it's a nightmare the president can walk into, even SGF knows.

To think you are smarter than 10 state government and their SGF, if you are unhappy, take the supreme court to court

TimT:
Okay... Let's the case be dragging on... I don't mind .. but remember that SC is located in Abuja, and not everybody is in that Abuja... So when next u want to spend your old notes and it's been rejected, then tell the person that he must collect it.. okay...
Some of you thinks because the Supreme Court is the highest it can rule anyhow....
This case is under the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court... And since it involves the monetary policy, it's only the Federal government that can take the CBN to the SC...

Jurisdiction? Why did SGF stop the case like he boosted, the case is in the supreme court, are you going to take the supreme court to the High Court for lack of jurisdiction

You lots are just kids, you just say whatever some idiot tells you, supreme court have made its decision, take it to court if you are not pleased.

Angelfrost:
You are trying too hard to convince no one! Rest oga!

Nairaland and Supreme court can say whatever they like... Governors can form activity from now till tomorrow!

The average Nigerian citizens listen to only two people: Buhari and CBN!

If these two people don't verbally and clearly rescind their imposed deadline (which is already past), then your old notes become your cross to bear!

Let's not bicker or bandy words online... Walk about and spend those old notes as you like!

I don't know your location, but everywhere I have been, most Nigerians are rejecting the old notes! Facts!

When you pay driver or mama put or trader or even supermarket, and they refuse to accept the notes, call Elrufai or CJN to come and lock them up!!!

No need beating chest online!!!

Are you done?, the supreme Court have spoken, if you like listen to cows, that is your business, neither Buhari nor CBN can't say otherwise, until 22nd you can cry me a river.

Frankiss44:
Hoping people lose their money? Like I don't have the old notes in my wallet right now? Are you that dumb? The message was clear "look for ways to spend because we have leaders playing politics right now with the current situation. How can the Supreme Court rule on something and the CBN is saying another thing, yet we have a president who is mute about the whole situation. What does that tells you to start with?
Make ona de try get sense.. Even Keke drivers have stopped receiving the old notes here in PH.. To avoid problem I just give them the new notes but in the quest to spend the old notes, I bring it out first..

You are the one talking without sense, the supreme Court is the highest court in the land, the CBN has no power to say anything if the supreme Court is talking, even the president can't make a contrary statement.

Angelfrost:
No need forming strong man on a faceless forum...!

Reality is a bitch!

Hold on to those old notes and keep spending them daily if you get mind... Let's see how many of your fellow Nigerians still accept them as legal tenders!

The judgement stand, you want to cry, do so at your convenience, no body care, we move.

I can see how pained you are from here, you pain gives me a special kind of joy, we will spend it and continue to, you can close your shop until the case is resolved and see if we care.

Frankiss44:
Many are mad but few are roaming.. Direct your frustration to the right zone, am not the cause of your wailing.. And I never told you to vote anybody so you can take your stupidity out of my mention.. Whether you scream from now till tomorrow, it won't change the fact that the banks and grade A companies won't collect the old notes..

I think you are the one being frustrated, you have been beating drum of shame hoping everyone loses their money, now you can't bear the thought that, not only can we spend it, we can continue to spend it until 22nd.

Talking about grade A, no body cares about them, this is about the people, not some stupid companies with directors in pain without any business orientation.

There's a difference between business and politics.

TimT:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..... Supreme Court is now a shadow of itself!!!!!!

What a very useless adjournment....
This case is a very critical case this period.... The SC should know that we don't need adjournment we just need a direct judgement if the old currency is still legal tender or not....
That's why the first adjournment sef, wasn't taken seriously because time was already going for CBN deadline...
Now that most banks and businesses are no longer accepting the old notes, this particular adjournment from the SC is extremely irrelevant and unnecessary because what is happening (rejection of the old notes) will spread and more people will reject it....
Now see date of next court , Feb 22, just three days short of election....
Too bad....
This is what happens when the judiciary encroaches on the decisions of the executive.....

You will need a loud speaker, you think the case will just come to an end because its your family meeting lol.

By 22nd 5 new states will join and another week will be added, most of you are just kids, you have no idea how anything work, you think the supreme Court is a football club that if you shout loud enough, they will change their manager or sell a player lol!

You are in for a very disappointing show, what a whole SGF can't do, even the president can't do anything until the case is resolved, keep dreaming.

Frankiss44:
Better look for how to use those notes quickly if not you go keep am for family museum to show future children our old currency

Keep shut, I still use it today, it's still very much in circulation.

Why a Nigerian will be happy others will lose their money surprise me, and you want me to support PO.

Most of you are so stupid, you think if Tinubu or Atiku want to buy vote, they need the old notes, I don't think there's any managing director of a bank that will say no to any of them.

Imagine the Senate president visit a bank to exchange 200 million of old note, he won't even leave his car before they felt it.

Btw, if they suspend the old notes, it will be easier for them to buy votes because everyone will be so cash starved that even 2k of new notes will do the trick.

F117nighthawk:
Once in 4 yrs palliatives, na when they will seek reelection that's when they remember say una exist, meanwhile he has been enjoying full benefits, salary and allowances for 48months,(4yrs) in office. After this it will be another remembrance in same number of years, una mumu never do

Not Gbaja, Go to surulere, everyone knows, the man is very okay.

Macphenson:
No you are wrong. You are not even seeing Malami's game. Go and.mark this, on 15th the FG will argue its case and the injunction vacateď.

Malami has done the underground work before confidently coming to tell u they will obey the supreme court.

The problem is, court case don't get that resolved, even if malami kept it a secret it still won't work, the other lawyer are already looking for loopholes to extend and to be honest, there is a good chance it will.

Btw, why would any Nigerian be against the extension, I still have old notes in my wallet, I haven't touched the 500, or 200 new notes, the extention will reduce tension and those storing the new notes will be forced to use it.

lifeandjoy:
Obi will come first and Atiku second from a distance. This is what I see.

I never knew Obi is so popular in the north until yesterday. I called Isa my Aboki Keke guy yesterday to come pick me up,
Me: Isa where you dey.
Isa: Oga, I dun trable.
Me: where you travel to, you no even tell me.
Isa: Oga I go Kano por my place.
Me: Isa you wan marry
Isa: I wan go vote
Me: who you go vote for
Isa: Ah Oga na Labor.
Me: You say wetin.
Isa: Oga I say I go vote Peter Obi.
Me: (surprised) na only you go vote Peter Obi?
Isa: No ooo, Oga, me and all my friends.
I now asked him to call me once he gets back that I have a surprise for him.

This is the same Kano Tinubu and Atiku wan get block of votes

Just one Isa in over 3 million people.

YinkaOlusesi16:
Everything will work for PETER OBI good.

When is he going to laud the supreme Court!

That is what happens when you ride on propaganda, now that the extension is inevitable, suddenly nothing to say.

We may all hate Tinubu but speaking against this currency deadline even though his party initiated it speaks alot.

Forget those stories about vote buying, even if he gives people the cash will he change their mind on what they want, its not a Yeah/Nah vote, you can take the money and do whatever you want, so stop the senseless propaganda already.

saintopus:
At this stage of the naira redesign the problem is not about the extension of the timeline but the none availability of the new notes.

Because for now from my view over 80% of the old naira notes were already with the CBN

Except the president would ask the CBN governor to open the vault and bring out the old naira back in circulation.

I don't see that happening, so the way forward is the rapid printing of the new notes as well as rapid circulation.

You are wrong, if the old and the new were allowed to coexist for like 3 to 6 months, there won't be any reason to store new notes, and by then there would be enough new currency to go around.

The normal thing to do is, introduce the new currency, tell everyone to go and deposit at their convenience but most importantly, any old currency that goes into the bank should never be allowed out. Simply as ABC!

But when you introduce new currency, you put a deadline for the collection of old ones and you only make available less than 25% of the total money in circulation, and you then put a cap to the withdrawal limit, so if I have 50k old currency, and I need to buy stuff with it, if I keep it it won't be useful after a couple of days, if I take it to the bank, I can't get it back, I might not be able to get even 20% of what I want, things I want to buy, I can't buy, the woman I want to buy from won't sell, the economy remains stagnant.

I was at Airtel office yesterday, and I couldn't buy 15k data because, they will only take cash or if you do transfer you will have to come the next day and if they can't get your alert even if the transfer is successful, they won't sell you the data.

Nigerian Men are Us*less........ All of them

HardMirror:
he should continue. I pray he replies seun. At least he is showing a lot of yorubas that wanted to vote obi their true color. I hope this gets messy. Just 3 weeks to election. Let the whole thing scatter and let yorubas recognize the blackmail

Forget propaganda, what they don't know is, it's way easier to get a yoruba vote than for Tinubu to get igbo votes, but trying to make it look like it's our people vs your people is a sure way to lose that margin.

I see lots of people abusing Tinubu and making caricature of him, it might work if we were talking about class prefect, it's like the PDP Lagos governorship candidate saying he will eradicate Agberos, you are just shooting yourself in the foot, if when you get elected you can come up with that but using it as a campaign statement will destroy more chances than it can give you.

Solocoin:
I think with the way people just be attacking Obi from left, right, back, front and center really show his the best for this job. Unlike Buhari that people were hailing and he's disaster. Even Tinubu will be disastrous.

This was not an attack on PO, Peter caused it, and I think someone should tell Mr P to stop talking, he reducing the chances PO have, if he ever had any.

The last thing you want to do is tell everyone PO is a triber candidate, attacking Seun is completely wrong.

Numerouno94:
To b honest,this Seun self like vawulence.

If someone abuse your dad, they should get whatever you give to them.

Wiseandtrue:
Seun Kuti, it is a shame that you allowed yourself to be used as a pawn in the hands of the politicians

The very same thing your father gave his very own life fighting against!

Your father will be turning in his grave

What a shame

What is this one saying, is it Seun that is at fault here, Seun has the right to support whomever he wants, and he refused to be used.

This kind of statement is what will make PO eventually lose, imagine what you guys are saying when he's not yet elected, what would life feel like if he wins.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Most of the banks doing this are in Sw

So there's cash in South South, South East, North Central?


I need to make some withdraw, I am in Port Harcourt for the week.

MadamExcellency:
APC Stewarts should stop using formats on Nigerians to attract sympathy and favour

The cash needed to prosecute the war comes from CBN and no soldier is required to lack cash because there are bank representatives in the barracks.

My friend keep shut, this is not about Apc or PDP, this is about we, I can't get anything done in the market, anything you want to buy, they request you add charges.

If you are not affected then you can talk, let's stop this political craziness, it makes no sense to withhold people money because you want to punish someone. Are we even okay!

saphiere:
Men do this all the time. A girl rejected you or broke up with you and instead to go back to the drawing board and find out why, you gather all the energy in this world to hate the female gender.

A good example is that of that boy who's thread is on fp claiming that his sister's and the entirely female children in his family lacks common logic.

He truly needs help.

Ladies have unrealistic expectations, because I always drop her at her house when we were dating even when she's very close to work, you expect I do the same when we are apart, ridiculous.

Some ladies even said, a good guy should continue to send you monthly stipends until you find another boyfriend , get a life.

It's not hate, it's indifference, that is what happens when you don't care about someone, you just don't care.

Talking about going to the drawing board, are you for real, I will go to the drawing board because a woman said NO! Even Com512 won't need a drawing board, some cheap money obsessed girl certainly won't do it either.
