How Naira Notes Scarcity Created Job For The Jobless
The struggle of common Nigerians continues in a more perplexed manner following the scarcity of both the new and old naira notes. The means of survival is drawn to the least as the only medium of payment for transactions is congested.
People pay for goods and services through online (transfer). Unfortunately, it has been flout, making it impossible for the people to carry out commercial engagement. Put differently, online cannot become an effective options to payment for all goods and services.
According to Femi Kayode who suggested that the governor of central bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin Emefiele, should arrested for not making the new naira notes available to people, alleged that normalcy will be restored after elections in March 2023.
Will one do a transfer of N200 to a commercial motorist or forward N500 to an Aboki for onions? There is no gain saying that the Nigerian system is down to mud and needs a saviour. Nigerians thought that the failed President Buhari was a messiah after brainwashing in 2015. He compounded the nation’s woe as he did between 1984 to 1985.
In order not to deviate from the subject matter, some jobless Nigerians have resorted to the under-listed measures to make something out of nothing.
See steps suggested by anonymous:
1) Just dress neatly and go to any ATM machine around your location
2) Be in the queue and pretend as if you want to withdraw money
3) When it is your turn, quietly meet those at the last and tell them you want to sell your position for N1000, watch how they will be scampering to buy your position
4) Collect your 1k and queue again in the line.
5) Repeat this process 5x and you will make 5k between 7-10 am
6) Go to any POS with the 5000 you made and sell it to them at the rate of 6000.
A former classmate (name withheld) who resident in Yenogoa, Bayelsa State, testified that she realized N12, 000 on Friday by selling her position on the queue to people in a hurry to access the ATM.
“Nigerians making things more difficult for others.”
This is ridiculous, making the money available after election, so how will people who need to travel inorder to vote get transport? I think this is a strategy to prevent people from voting. The poor masses are starving to death due to their inability to access their OWN MONEY. God help us.
