I knew I was in Nigeria when I trekked for one hour as early this morning.
Shame didn't even catch me cheesy cheesy

What I haven't done before cheesy cheesy the experience was killing.


Painment was I had to borrow 100naira to come back to my place of business.

Sofia pains was all the sales I made today were mainly transferred into my acct,some sef I never see alerts.

Foolishness was only #300 followed me home at all at all naim bad.

The other day I bought 10k and the charges was 3k, honestly e pain me.

So this night after looking for POS,I saw someone I knew he was merciful to collect #200 for #1500.
For my mind....I be the richest woman in nigeria cheesy cheesy

Tomorrow I m definitely gonna queue at accessbank and wildraw money, because I cannot imagine dashing someone 4k.


So guys how have you guys bn surviving?
POS give you this new money ? them try. in my area, the money must tear ooo. lol

My creative advise for those who can do trading is to go to market, use transfer to get something that can be resold at home for a small profit and atleast have cash.

Imagine a comfortable madam having to start buying yam with transfer in bulk and frying yam to sell just to attract cash.

The situation isn't funny at all and many Nigerians are really suffering due to this policy.

Let me share a very short and sad story with you.

I was at the market yesterday to get some groceries and provisions for the house. I made the payment via transfer because I didn't go with my ATM card. Unfortunately, I was debited immediately but the vendor didn't receive alert on his end.

I came to his shop around 3pm. You wouldn't believe that I waited till 6:30pm thinking that the alert will come in.

Lo and behold, Mr. vendor didn't get the alert.

I hard to return all the stuffs I bought. He collected my phone number and told me that he will call me once he sees the alert so that he can transfer my money back to me.

I was angry but I had to receive sense immediately because it wasn't his fault. He was just trying to play safe too.

I came home angrily and drank semovita with no Sugar.

The policy is just so annoying.
U didn't tell us if he eventually transferred back your money.

I still have over 60k of d new money in cash....I had actually withdrew alot of money around early January at any ATM I could find.....I always have this instinctive feeling, most Nigerian policies always end up as shyt...B4 they eventually work or sometimes outright fail...So when people where busy washing d money online & checking for quality, I was busy accumulating..shared some with family... business also brings a bit of cash too.... Anyways, am pretty sure after d election things would return to normal
early January? they didn't input the new notes in the ATM machines until the end of January, only a fool will believe these lies.

Buhari came to kill and destroy Nigerians. Funny enough we are unaware!

When he came in newly, we suffered hunger and inflation, now he is about leaving. ...

Well, yours is still a sweet experience, lost my job since last year, having being trying everyday to get job and until now, nothing yet. Life has been immensely hard.

Fast forward to this year, I realized, we were still better in last year compared to now. My people, I swear down, we have no food to eat, myself, wife and my one year old son, we’ve been surviving on a cup and half of gari daily. All cos, I’m broke inside out, no one is out there to help or support you. In fact, at this point where we get gari on credit, if I would like to respect myself, we are not suppose to go there for credit this week. So apparently, I have no hope on how we will survive this week. I believe in God sha.

I heard a tragedy news on radio station yesterday(don't know how true it is) a woman with THREE famished kids, having realized that she couldn't feed them, it was told that she stylishly gave them a sleeping tablet and dashed out to fetch something for them, when she returned, she met the lifeless body of the three children.

What could be devastating than this? Meanwhile, If this inhumane cashless policy was not cruelly the order of the day, those kids would not met their untimely death. Their mother would not have to regret her action.
