nairanaira12: This is very wicked decision by Peter Obi.
How dare you want to save the likes of LeoDeKing from poverty?
Don't you know his entire family has made a vow to place religion bigotry over common sense? They are ready to remain impoverished slaves for their lifetime for the glory of religion bigotry.
Smile4me01: If Nigerians didn't rise to support this policy initiated by CBN this country and the citizens will remain in poverty and with bad leadership this policy will not only help during election but it will also curb insecurities and looting kidnapping demanding for ransom will have no option than to quit because every huge amount will be transferred directly to your account that will be easily traceable which they can't withdraw it at once let everyone support this policy even this will be only thing Buharia has offer this country since his inception has president.
This policy just needs to last for two months combined with BVAS by INEC to create a level playing field.
BigYash: His dad is the commissioner for agberos in lasgidi.. His side hustle is ringing of elections. See how his kids are balling ,but the urchins on nairaland, suffer wan kill them 90% of the urchins here making noise no even get international passport
They are also shopping around for a court order to reverse the CBN policy. No court should be able to influence CBN policies, you never know in this Banana Republic were an interim order could be procured to stop the policy until the election is over.
Nigerians don't know the level of wickedness and evil the country has descended to and the desperation to capture power at the center at all costs.
PrinceOfLagos: Buhari promised he will not intefer in the election and also promised that he will not allow anyone to manipulate the process .
I think Buhari wants to keep to this promises and we are solidly in support of him
Let Tinubu go to the field and test his popularity , his ill gotten money won't save his ass this time .
Buhari is about to leave office and this is why the house is becoming divided . His loyal soldiers are starting to pitch their tent with who they think will win the 2023 election. No one should be able to move against Emefiele under his watch- his closest men are starting to betray him and thinking about their stomachs and future beyond this regime.
losky83: THIS IS OUR CHANCE OF GETTING LIBERATED FROM THE BONDAGE OF THESE POLITICIANS. THE NEW CBN POLICY WILL NOT IN ANYWAY AFFECT THE COMMON HARD WORKING NIGERIAN BUT WILL BREAK US FREE FROM THIS ECONOMIC BONDAGE. TRILLIONS OF NIGERIAN MONEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AT HOME BY THESE POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BRING IT OUT BEFORE 1ST OF JANUARY 2023. IF THESE IS ACHIEVED, OUR NAIRA WOULD GAIN VALUE RAPIDLY. THEY ARE TRYING TO FORCE THE PRESIDENT AND THE CBN GOVERNOR TO EXTEND THE DATE OF OLD CIRCULATION SO THEY CAN CHANGE THEIR STOLEN MONEY TO NEW NOTES AND CONTINUE TO KEEP NIGERIAN BACKWARDS BUT GOD WILL NEVER LET THEM WIN. IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A BETTER NIGERIA. CARS ARE NOT MEARNT TO BE BUT BY THEIR CHILDREN ALONE,THEY WANT OUR KIDS TO CONTINUE WORSHIPPING THEIR OWN BY MAKING THE ECONOMY FAVOURABLE TO THEM ONLY BUT THAT WILL CHANGE. BUHARI KNOWS THE TRUTH AND HAS GIVEN FULL AUTHORITY TO EDENFIELD. MY FELLOW NAIRALAND BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IF THIS CBN POLICY SUCCEEDS, A DOLLAR WILL DROP TO AS LOW AS 250 TO 300 NAIRA BY FEBRUARY 2023. AM READY TO PLACE A BET WITH ANY NAIRALAND PERSON ON THIS
Nigerians nor like better thing and hate their country.
Why Nigeria is a failed state summed up in one picture.
Is this the team that can transform the country to look like Sweden, Norway, Germany or Japan? Or the team that will keep it the corruption and poverty capital of the world for infinity.
Goodday90: I am doing this for your future Do you want a future where your son is jobless cos you are also jobless but a son of a common lout is flying the world
4teenblaq: Emefiele has vowed that since Tinubu had used money to beat him to the game in the Primaries, he(Emefiele) will also play the same game in a very offensive manner..
Now Tinubu and Some cohorts in Atiku camp are emerging together to fight against Emefiele...
I love this fight!!!
The black Pablo Escobar is worse than the white Pablo Escobar.
Penguin2: Nigerians are witnessing the highest level of desperation ever displayed by politicians in a long while. And it is because the ‘structure’ that some of them so much bragged about is being dismantled before their very eyes.
When the Naira redesign policy was announced sometimes in October, I was among those who rejoiced about it as we believe the policy will even the 2023 elections and eliminate, to a great extent, the influence of money on the outcome of the election.
Some people, however, laughed at us and reminded us that this is Nigeria, and that the big shots (their candidates) will be able to get back same volume of cash in the new currency like they had stashed away in the old one. We told them not to be so optimistic about it but they laughed at; that we are babies in Nigerian politics and in how the Nigerian system works. But a bigger shock was coming …
Just as they were still very optimistic that their big shots will bypass the system and get back billions of the new naira in cash to prosecute the election, CBN hit again. This time it was on withdrawal limit. N100,000 a week and N20,000 naira a day for individuals and some little bigger limit for corporate organizations but not without them filling uncomfortable forms and getting the signature of the Bank CEO and others. And after all that stress, it will be for 15,000,000. But 15,000,000 is not enough for one Local government in the election when imagine the level at which they were ready to go.
Now, they’ve looked left and right and seen that there’s no way to beat the system without those who helped you beat the system running into trouble and it would still be for insignificant sum.
That’s why they are now moving mad. First they readied some governors to go and tell Buhari that the policy is against him and that people might revolt against him. And one wonders which people they are talking about. Is it us or there’s another set of Nigerians we don’t know about? Because we are not complaining.
As if that is not enough, we were flabbergasted yesterday to learn that the DSS had secretly instituted a case against Emefiele asking the judge to grant them custody of him for 60 days; like seriously? And guess what they accused him - “Financing of Terrorism”. We do believe that anything is possible under the sun but Emefiele financing terrorism? Hmmmm!
So, who is really afraid of Emefiele?
I thought they said they can beat the system? Why are they now running kiti kiti kata kata?
I thought they said they are popular and have structure? Why are they now angry that they won’t have money to bribe electorates and INEC officials to subvert the will of the people? Does a popular person need to pay the people to get their support?
Please, whoever is after Emefiele should allow the man be as we approach the upcoming election. Nigerians are happy with his policies so far. If we weren’t, we would have complained by ourselves and not needing any governor to complain on our behalf. Let all the candidates in the 2023 elections go into the election on an even ground, from presidential candidates to governorship candidates to senatorial candidates, etc. Let all those who will win election in 2023 know that they are truly the choice of the people and not an instance where moneybags buy their way to power.
Bluntguy: When emilokan was daring Buhari he forgot that there is something called the power of incumbency. Buhari allowed him to cash and carry the APC primary and is now dismantling everything he was boasting of to win the presidential election. I am beginning to like this Buhari.
Buhari found out how he won the APC primaries over Osibanjo who he was backing.
Ofunaofu: It's on record that Tinubu with no verified business was caught on camera moving bullion vans into his burdillon mansion on the eve of an election
Nigerians are asking, when will the EFCC arrest the Emilokan drug lord for money laundering
I pity the Central Bank and Niger Delta oil blocks when him and his gang get the keys to our treasury.
The whole world knows your Political god is the chief looter of Lagos Treasury. He is not called Mr Bullion van for no reason. Obi has no such infamous tag.
You are probably one of the delegates he bribed with dollars during the APC primaries.
It's normal to defend your benefactor. You are only protecting your source of livelihood.
Racoon: And what can you say about Raji Fashola, Gandollar that did likewise? Tinubu is simply caring for them with the bullion vans one Nigeria money he embezzled when he knew that "One Nigeria" corruption is the sweetest corruption
Gullible Nigerians falling for the same gimmicks since 1960.
GOFRONT: This reminds me of the Son of Allison Diezani who had to take a private jet to England so he could watch his clubside Man U play live at the pitch of Old Trafford stadium......The match was to start 4pm Saturday. He jet out of Nigeria same saturday just to go watch match and then return.
He wasnt comfortable watching matches on his 455inches LED TV anymore!!!!
Goodday90: The son of tinubu’s agbero just woke up and flew to Canada and even have escorts following him up and down,While a certain jobless tinubu advocate have been trying without efforts to relocate his family to the same Canada Could this be why they are fighting to have jagaban as president not because he would perform but for their own personal gain
Pierocash: if this is the only thing buhari does right for Nigerians,his sins are forgiven.
Enough of those who take Nigerians for granted because they believe once election comes,they can always cheat the system at the expense of Nigerians. Now the game is over for them
Vote rigging is the foundation of bad governance.
Vote rigging and money politics favour drug barons, occult ritualists and yahoo boys to take over governance.
Thanksful: This government has no direction. Anyone can do anything and nothing will happen. People are just doing what they like and calling it presidency
The Governors and House of Representative have rose in unison against the policy. They know the implication as it has cut their wings and stripped them naked to to bribe their way to power with their looted billions.
