I am a trader in main market Onitsha. I have a shop in Popular Relief market and also Visited “New parts “ market in Onitsha today .

Despite the today’s (10th February ) deadline from the CBN, everyone in these markets are still trading as if nothing is happening. Starting from the motorists to the hawkers in Onitsha, no one rejects the old notes.

Though I'm scared, but I didn't give any directives to my subjects. They collects anyone they see.

As I type this, they have made up to #300,000 cash from today's sales while I wallow in confusion.

What is the situation in your area please, are the old notes rejected or being accepted??

N:B, don't mind my English, I'm just a trader

Bros, nothing do your English. We are spending the Old Notes with the anew Notes till July 31st 2023.

Don't mind the confused lots in Govt.

It is possible that in other areas of Lagos, people are not accepting the old notes. I would advise that you deposit your old notes so as not to lose your money. Politicians are fighting each other, don't be caught in the crossfire.

Komu1048:


The liar here is you, since today I’ve been spending the old note and nobody even ask me shingain

Here in Lagos, old notes are still being spent. I am yet to see anyone rejecting the old notes.

Old notes should be recirculated if the new notes are not available.

CilicMarin:
In Lagos! Nobody is even aware there is any dateline. Both the old and new ones are being spent.

May God Punish Peter Obi, Atiku and Emefiele.

may satan punish your fadaa for having you as a son

Lol. by now you should know that the timing of this policy is political in nature.

ebuclassic18:

Why calling them illiterates in a sane country is this how policies are been implemented? They in government are the illiterate for not being prepared before engaging in such task

CilicMarin:
In Lagos! Nobody is even aware there is any dateline. Both the old and new ones are being spent.

May God Punish Peter Obi, Atiku and Emefiele.

Wetin Obi do you, mumu. Misdirected anger. Your party made a policy that is strangulating you, you are cursing a man who just spoke about the gains of the policy in the future...guy all of una don mad finish, I no fit lie give you

Old naira notes are going nowhere,they are going to stay side by side with the new notes till at least 3 months time.

yarimo:
You are the illiterate here, it's legal until the court rules on the matter.

since when did the court become active against Federal government??

IntroTech:


You are not depositing to collect.

You are only depositing to key into the cashless society.

First
The bank network in Nigeria is not working to support a cashless society.
Secondly the backbone infrastructure for seamless,secure and safe cashless economy in Nigeria is very limited to very few sectors
Third if you know how power supply is in Nigeria then imagine cashless!
Fourth imagine the number of traders who are illerate and underbanked etc

And you want me to deposit a legal tender note to now spend hours of productive time searching for the new notes that the banks don't have

Salvador1:
you are a terrible liar.

Almost all filling stations are rejecting the old note here in Lagos.

Children of darkness and enemy of this country must be rejected.

u are the big lier here. I spent old money all through today, no signs of rejection whatsoever. Abraham adesanya, ogombo axis. The problem with some of u guys is over Sabi, I too know. Na only u dey Lagos?

Verve choi! I remember when first bank wanted to give me Verve card as atm card. I told the guy he should change it immediately.
The guy was arguing that the card is good and that I have already billed from my account, I told him no problem collect the atm fee but I am not taking a Verve card, it is either mastercard or visa. I ended up with first bank expressions mastercard.
Verve is not a good card for atm

IranianSea:
ShopRite rejected Old notes! Verve cards rejected by their payment machine. You can only transfer then send the receipt of your transaction to their email, then wait till they verify it, then, they will email you the confirmation receipt, then you take the receipt to the cashier, then your goods handover to you. Very long and stressed.

Congratulations on your booming business.

You still have the window to take the old notes to Central Bank

DaniDani:
Here in ABA, many people are rejecting the old notes especially the higher denominations of 1000,500, and 200. They are accepting onl 100 and 50naira old notes, higher denominations must be new notes.

See this Bushman

Who told you they're changing ₦100 and ₦50?

There's nothing like old notes for ₦100, ₦50, ₦20, ₦10 and ₦5

CilicMarin:
In Lagos! Nobody is even aware there is any dateline. Both the old and new ones are being spent.

May God Punish Peter Obi, Atiku and Emefiele.

and punish you too for voting buhari.peter n atiku did not bring in buhari,you urchins did.sai baba! You can't even blame the main culprits buhari and tinubu.God kill all the urchins like you

One of the aims of the naira redesign is to transition to a cashless economy. If the bank can't give the same value in new notes, they can transfer it to your bank account.

baralatie:

Will you be given the same volume of new notes you deposit on that same day?

The gods is coming to visit to night 🌃 watch ur mouth

CilicMarin:

Exactly!

TheAlchemist:


No, but your account will be credited.

So nw d narrative have been change to he spoke about it for the future😂😂😂 what stupid future value will it bring pls tell us

Someone that said Nigerians should keep struggling for cash while u guys back him......why won't we swear for obi......he supported emefiele in punishing Nigerians

you can carry out transactions using transfer, where POS is available you carry out transactions using ATM card if you want or if the seller wants

baralatie:

So the person will now be running from one ATM to another ATM in different locations to get the new notes?

Very few people are collecting it.
Okada riders are not
POS people are not collecting it
Filling stations are nor collecting it.

If commercial bank no collect, CBN go collect after the deadline

Trust the CBN at your own risk.
Serious business people would have made POS machines available for transactions and also will be ready to accept transfers.

IntroTech:
Only people who are not serious with their business will be rejecting the old notes.

The CBN has stated that they will still collect the old notes so why will you hurt your business waiting to trade with the new notes that are still as scarce as diamonds whereas you can continue conducting business as usual with the old notes?

It doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Salvador1:
you are a terrible liar.

He's a big fool. Stupid Tinubu lap dog.

All I have are new notes. I'm rejecting old notes
Lagos.

Pierocash:
Nobody send you for Ph,it is been accepted everywhere.

But why are people rejecting the old notes, the deadline is still far . FG said they will comply with the order of supreme Court. So, why rejecting it

Ask Emefielle

Exactly! Many people don't understand this.

satelliteDISH:
In my area here in Benin City illiterate people are still collecting it. Their is a rumour going round that they extended it to 15th.

Which one be illiterate here now. Abeg dey try get sense

I just spent old 200 naira note, I had thought the man will reject it but he just checked and put it his pocket. Let it be clear, both Obi and Atiku that are supporting this evil policy would gladly reverse it should any one of them emerge victorious at the poll.

angelfallz:

So all the zenith ,access,union and co that are having network problems.to point that some outlets are insisting on cash is what now

Today was Agbara market day, old note was collected by the farm men/women. No body even hinted transfer, shey Na oloko you Wan follow tok transfer.

All these challenges you mentioned are true.

But then again, the beauty of innovation is that it takes challenges to spur innovations.

While some people are still complaining that we don't have the network backbone, infrastructure, security for seamless cashless operations, some people are already seizing this rare opportunity and they are already building the network backbones, infrastructures, security for seamless cashless operations and they are surely going to make billions and billions of dollars from doing that.

It all a matter of where you choose to focus your energy on.

A word is more than enough for the wise.
