I am sorry but I think Umefiele is a sadist.
There's a bigger sadist that approved the ill-conceived idea; backed the first deadline; asked to be given 7days to solve the problems thrown up by the timeline for its execution yet did nothing, neither did he address the country despite most likely getting briefed about the constraints.

How it took the meeting of the Council of State to get this revelation should tell you how this government is very misguided and utterly wicked!

Hmm. That's why I the view that Emefiele has a hidden (political) agenda to begin with, hinged on creating chaos from the expected failure of the shoddy implementation of the policy. Coz how else do you explain a whole CBN embarking on such a monumental and consequential policy without the requisite capacity to deliver and see it through?! He should be ashamed of himself for even itting such level of gross incompetence openly.
also blame buhari for keeping that fool this long.

It is quite true that the CBN governor was on the verge of sabotaging the electoral process thank God the northern governors were smarter than Emefiele on behalf of APC ,Zenith Bank of which the CBN governor worked with closed most of their outlets,where did they keep the new notes given to the bank

The worst CBN governor in Nigeria history . So he knows there is crisis?




He knows there’s crisis and was insisting on a deadly deadline. That shows he designed the policy to fail and cause untold hardship on people. The aim being to get people angry and vote out APC.

The problem is saboteurs. Even if he prints more they will hoard more and sell to politicians and governors
Please o, as a lay man I'd like to paint a scenario and want you to honestly tell who/what a saboteur is:

Suppose citizens A, B and a vast number of others have billions of Naira of illicit funds (amounting to say 2 trillion Naira) stashed away in warehouses, bunkers, safes or suckaways when this policy was announced.

Does the swap then exclude them from swapping their loot/illicit funds? And do you think these categories of people would like to leave a trail when they're doing their cash swaps? Honestly, they'd rather racket with top placed officials in the distribution chain, at a fee, to swap theirs, which is taken back to their safehouses out of circulation.

That way, if the CBN printed #300bn as alleged by El Rufai, you can understand we're not seeing them in circulation and can rationalize how bandits got the vast sums the displayed in mockery of the policy.

So who do you call a saboteur? The man that clandestinely swaps his stash, for a fee, and goes back to save it in his bunker or who?

Were you expecting those categories of peeps to sit idly and wash their monies (though illicit) go to waste?

1st of all this is not a cash swap were u bring 500m old notes and they will give u 500m new notes.

The policy procedure is u paying the money into the system via ur or 3rd party bt nobody is giving u same amount in new notes. u will have to follow the new policy limits for cash withdrawal.

Thus mean any bank giving governors 500m cash have violated the cbn policy. Also if that money didn't come from an to show the cash withdrawal then it is a crime and they can be accused of sponsoring illegal activities like terrorism and vote buying.

It is left for Cbn to device a mechanism to detect money given to criminals without ing through the system and reflecting in their books.

“The Mint has run out of papers to print N500 and 1,000 notes,” a source said, explaining the supply constraints The Minit faces. “They have placed orders with a German firm and De La Rue of the UK (for papers) but they have been placed on a long waiting list so their orders cannot be met now.”

I knew something wasn't right! I knew nothing was well with the implementation of this policy! It is quite unfortunate that the lives of millions of Nigerians never matter to Emefiele, Malami and even Buhari himself for giving the implementation a nod without first considering if there is enough liquidity to go round the people who love you and called you Messiah.

So if Jagaban, El-Rufai, Yahaya Bello and Metewalle had politicised this policy, it therefore means that the nation would have been thrown into a state of Anarchy!!! Which may have warranted the military to step in to save the nation from burning down. Damn!

Now imagine people who have been subjected to all forms of hunger and are now being blocked from having access to their hard earned money, what a calamity!

Shame to the ethnic bigots on this platform who have refused to reason that this is not about witch-hunting any individual, there is everything gotham wrong with the implementation of the faceless cashless policy, but since most are even traders one cannot expect them to reason out of the box, all their problem was just about some personal being that is being rendered incapacitated from buying votes despite the fact they can see that there is a serious problem. Quite pathetic!

This is the worst CBN Governor that we have ever had in the history of this country. Never will a bald headed be trusted with a sensitive post such as this. Under him dollars rose, under him Naira rose. Under him there was no money at the banks counter, there was no money at the ATMs and the POS sold our money to us like foreign currency. What a pity!

Resign Emefiele! Just get out!!!

they are calling enforced transition to cashless system currency redesign.
Just like they called the addition of terrorists and kidnappers as civil servants in Nigerian government, herdsmen and bandits.

they must be having a real laugh every time they come up with one of this schemes, its the sort of game you play with toys as a child that the European institution that calls itself Nigerian govt is playing with over 200 million Nigerians.

Thanks for clarification. It's then agreed that aside the governor's thoughtlessness, the policy has already suffered sabotage now that vast sums of it is now with bandits/terrorists.

This is what happens when you give a job to an incompetent person. Someone who doesn't have an idea of what he's assigned to do.

Emefiele should apologise to Nigerians and also resign now.

you see, that show the area and the leave of brain you have. Stay in better area na ajanlekoko you dey leave. That aside, no one force anybody on you. You guys saw buhari as Messiah, you decided to vote for him . Just because tinubu endorsed buhari doesn't mean tinubu has power to control a full grown adult. Buhari has his agenda while tinubu has his own. Funniest thing is am not voting for tinubu himself but you have to know this, stop blaming others for your actions. You can decide to vote whoever you like but if he Bleep up, you should know you are among those who voted for him . If you look into the matter well, you will see buhari and his cabals hate tinubu that is what is causing inflation generally. Ire o

Now he is giving excuses like he is Buhari. He was taking tough a few weeks ago saying they printed enough and the treasury was filled.

Time for Buhari's in-lows to enjoy some commissions for printing more money.

Any policy that falls within 6 months to the expiration of any government in Nigeria is dead on arrival. Everyone knows that Buhari has less than a month in office. Once the election is over and a new winner is announced, he becomes a lame duck President. This redesign should have been implemented at least two years ago if they are serious. There are already talks of reversing the policy by Presidential contestants and that adds to the confusion.

Keep electing empty heads. Na una go suffer am. Suffering doesn't recognize party affiliation. But who knows? After all Fr Ejike Mbaka said that Buhari is God-sent and Hope Uzodinma is the only hope for Imo people. grin grin grin Too equally bad products.
