How I spent 18k on buying yams due to the recent scarcity of cash.

That was last week, immediately the news spread that banks are beginning to reject old naira notes, I remembered that I had some cash that amounted 18k in my pocket that evening.

I was frustrated, because everyone rejected the money, they were all old notes.

I had to rush to Karu market after work, with the intention of spending all old notes- buying things I never wanted instead of letting them waste in my hand like that.

Luckily, I found someone who took my old notes. A yam seller inside the market. I asked if he still accepts the old naira, he said yes. He say nothing concern am.

I found myself lucky and immediately asked him to check total cost of his yams and he said 22k after much calculations.

This would have been a time for much bargain, but as desperate as I was, I told him I will pay 19 thousand for the tubers and he agreed.

He collected the old notes and I proceeded with a transfer of extra 1k to his account.

He emptied his wheelbarrow of yams and helped me load them in a tricycle (Keke) that brought me home.

Buying those tubers was totally out of my plans, even for the whole year I never intended to buy yams in that quantity, just that it will hurt me to loose that money.

I got home that night and told my entire household to get ready, because we go chop yam tire for this house.

Nobody dey eat anything again for this house since that day, it's either porridge yam or boiled yam and oil... Yam sef don show for my forehead...😩

Funny indeed.........

Na so I still use my last old notes of about 6k take buy noodles..... Imagine noodles wey I no too dey chop . Omoh,na once I buy am, because I no wan turn my hard earned money into museum for my house

Quite funny, I think I still have a bundle of 100,000 naira in denominations of 1,000 and then 500.

I tried depositing it at the central bank and the crowd was a mad one, I jejely drove back to my house, if this was done because of votes buying then after the elections I believe the case would be reverted back

At least, your case is better than the guy who got stuck with his 127k useless old notes, in these difficult times.

You for support your story with a picture

Kikiki 🤣😁 I love yam

That wise yam seller will restock, keep accepting old notes and after making sales beyond his wildest hope, go to CBN, settle(bribe) the gatemen allocating numbers for a slot between number one and ten on a list of 10,000 people, then deposit his millions.

What a smart salesman he is.

Lol funny guy.

I still gat some old notes left, about 3k or so. I do not pressure my self changing it, I hate stress.

This old note is still going to be used after the election, except they print more new notes X5.
Haha, I will keep the old notes, I will show them to my kids when they grown up, will tell them "this old notes died wit apc government, cus they FVKed up big time"

If only Tinubu could buy yams. He would buy a country full of yams.
