Currency Redesign: To Extend The Deadline Will Defeat The Aim by kingsways: 6:14am On Jan 29, 2023 |
Countries don't just wake up redesign their currency because it involves a significant cost Whilst reasons for redesign are numerous; in the case of Nigeria, Corruption is pandemic and a big problem. Corrupt and wicked Nigerians have stocked large amounts of cash outside the official financial system One of aims of the current redesign exercise in Nigeria is obviously to tackle the issue of corruption by corrupt people who settle their corruption activities in cash To extend the deadline will give these rogues more time to come up with ways to circumvent the redesign and therefore defeat the aim of the exercise. 228 Likes 22 Shares

This is the only fear of cbn as our currup law makers have sprayed their tentacle all over to mop up any new note that will be released by cbn at all cost. Now they've become advocates of the masses because they want the statusquo to continue as usual. Nigerian looters have not taken their old note to the bank do to fear believing they can stop cbn move to frustrate them from looting us dry daily. 114 Likes 14 Shares |

The New notes will still be stocked in large numbers as well in few years from now if government think this is the only way to fight against corruption while courts in Nigeria set free politicians when they face corruption charges. You stole #9b and court would ask you to pay option fine of #100m . If we all think these politicians would not have gotten the new notes in large number by now , then we lying to ourselves. People that their banks take cash to them in their comfort homes. 147 Likes 16 Shares |

You guys should continue clapping for Buhari, When buhari closed borders u guys were clapping, the result only affect the common man. Now he change Naira note, the result will only affect the common man. Incase u don't know the people he target this move to have nothing to loose. From nextweek buying and selling will become very difficult, means of transportation will be difficult, where will you see the new note to pay motorist, what time do u have to make transfer, how convenient conductor will be using POS when passenger will be in hurry not to late to work, combining this with holdup. Una eye go soon open what this barbarian is abt to throw the whole country to. 70 Likes 13 Shares |

kingsways:It will affect the common man because Nigeria's economy is still very much cash based. Businesses will slow down. Cash withdrawal will be a problem. Queues at the bank. Have you thought about the farmers, market women and cattle sellers in the villages? Las Las na the poor go suffer am. The rich have most of their money tied down in real estate, banks and other investments. The rich don't keep money at home. 90 Likes 5 Shares |

There are things the redesign will do. Like the OP stated, corrupt people will be forced to bring out their looted funds or it will be rendered useless. For those who think they will still get a hold of the new cash and store them, well one bad news for them again is that this new note is not as durable as the old note. They won't last long while hidden somewhere. I think what will happen is that the govt will extend it by 1 or 2 weeks. But make sure it is fully effective by election period so those who stashed money to buy votes will be rendered useless. Then when that is done, some months later, the new government or CBN will come up with one story and say we can use both notes simultaneously just like we used the redesigned N100 notes some years ago. Then they gradually and systematically retrieve the notes back. 30 Likes 2 Shares |

When Buhari approved increase in Electricity tariff, the masses cried politicians partied and praised Buhari When Buhari closed the borders the masses starved and many died, yet the politicians didn't raise a finger for us. When Covid-19 palliative was hoarded in different warehouses across the country, even a certain Govt shaded crocodile tears mocking the masses while hoarding their food...many lost their livelihood, hundreds died of starvation while politicians united and partied. Nigerian youths protested and were shot at, rounded up and locked in cages...the Lagos Landlord ran away to enjoy his lavished vacation and never care. Just few weeks ago some End-Sars patriots were still being released...as we speak many are still locked up without charges And now all of a sudden Nigerian Politicians Tinubu cares about your suffering... please tell us another joke. Here are the fact, out of 11trillion notes printed by CBN in the past only about 3.35 trillion is in circulation, about 7.65 trillion is being hoarded by politicians and criminals. No matter what any Urchin and Criminal will tell you, the newly printed notes is not even upto 3trillion to fully replace the cash in circulation talk more of the ones our Politicians hoarded, no matter your influence and control of the banking system no politician can easily replace the volume of cash hoarded...it's impossible!! And for a fact, no common man will loose from this new policy, afterall 100 naira notes have not changed. In few weeks time you will understand that this policy is one of the 3 succors Buhari's administration gave Nigerians in d midst of the suffering. Toping the list are New electoral Act and New Power Plants. 50 Likes 6 Shares |
