As the controversies surrounding the proposed introduction of N5000 notes into the country continues, a federal minister has cleared the air on some of the complaints of the masses. According to the National Planning Minister, Shamsudeen Usman, the proposed N5000 note will not be for mass circulation. He said the N5,000 note would be reserved for banks and heavy cash users.
The minister made this clear during an interview with the State House Correspondents after the meeting of the Economic Management Team (EMT) presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan. It was during this same meeting that the Federal Government formally endorsed the introduction of the note despite the criticism that has greeted its introduction.
At the meeting of the Economic Managament Team chaired by President Goodluck Jonathan, the CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido, also explained the restructuring of the currency. The team also dispelled the fear that the introduction of the note will lead to high rate of inflation, saying that there was no link between inflation and currency denomination.
At this point, Nigerians will agree that majority of them are not banks (or bank owners), neither are the Nigerian masses handling “heavy cash”. So, Nigerians, you are expected to stop complaining about what is not meant for you.
Is this suppose to be a statement from a public servant and a minister of the federal republic? 5000 notes not for the masses? whose tax money will fund the production?? …
“We no go greeeeee ooø!”

Fellow Nigerians I urge prayers and patience and see how it plays out. Let God judge everything
I am not suprised about what is happening. What you expect from someone who has no shoe? Nothing but to steal peoples shoe. A nation where the leaders have no respect for law. The law maker said NO but the public servants said YES. A nation where those who didn’t study government but farming governs. Mtcheeeeeeeew
Revolution…………..

IT’S QUITE SURPRISING THAT A COUNTRY OF OVER 130 BILLION PEOPLE, SOME SET OF CABALS SHOULD TAKE A DECISION SUITABLE FOR THEIR SELFISH AMBITIONS, TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE MASSES…. READ WHAT I CALLED THEIR SELFISH AMBITION, “Shamsudeen Usman, the proposed N5000 note will not be for mass circulation. He said the N5,000 note would be reserved for banks and heavy cash users.” WHAT A MISCHIEF, MISBEHAVIOR, NAUGHTINESS, STATEMENT? MR. PRESIDENT MY ADVICE FOR YOU IS, “YOU HAVE TO TRACE BACK, GO BACK AND CONSULT YOUR BIBLE ONCE MORE!!! MAYBE YOU MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN THE STORIES OF THOSE THAT JEOPARDIZE WITH GOD AND THEIR LATER END IN THE BIBLE. “THESE ARE SIGNS OF THE END TIME” BUT OF WHAT BENEFITS IS IT TO YOU, TO GAIN THE WORLD AND IT’S TREASURES AND LOOSE YOUR SOUL? let’s think of this…… GOODLUCK NIGERIANS…..
