In the empire of General Olusegun Obasonjo the first law is “do as I say don’t do as I do” as President of Nigeria he banned the “spraying of currency” in parties but as usual in the usual character of Nigerian misrule’s.
Obasonjo just in the 2nd week of March 2009 broke his own law. Sprayed Naira, dollars and Euros (hyperbole?) at a communal party!
If the world does not recognize who OBASONJO is we will help in showcasing the hypocrisy of many Nigerian leaders.
Ban stealing, yet loot Billions, ban mismanagement yet mismanage the national wealth, Ban foreign trips on medical ground yet send concubines for cosmetic surgery abroad.
The time to rise up against Obasonjo, Babangida, Yaradua, Atiku and all the gangs in the Political “nest of killers” is NOW! More photographs of Nigerian leaders breaking Nigerian laws coming.

Jail term for mutilators of the Naira

A MILD drama ensued last week at a news-stand gathering at the Ikeja Bus-stop in Lagos starring bus-stop parliamentarians as usual. This was sequel to an exchange between a newspaper vendor and one of his customers. The customer had given the vendor a N200 note in payment for a newspaper had just picked up. But on being given a N100 change by the vendor the customer whose name is Efe Marinho had exclaimed: “Abeg, I cannot accept this tear-tear money; change it for me. I don’t want the CBN(Central Bank of Nigeria) to accuse me of being the one that tore it and send me to jail for something I didn’t do”.
But the vendor was not impressed by this and quickly challenged him: “Wetin do the money? Dem go take am for your hand now”. The customer, however stood his ground, insisting that he would not have anything to do with the N100 note which he claimed was so badly mutilated that nobody would accept it from him in payment for anything.
The vendor was still mumbling a defence about the money being good enough for spending when a parliamentarian who gave his name as Chukwudi Obasi had chipped in thus: “Na true O. CBN said it’s now an offence to be caught with a mutilated naira note and they are ready to prosecute offenders.
That is why they have been running a media campaign to warn people from rough-handling the naira”.
But while parliamentarian Bola Adeyemi welcomes the CBN campaign to safeguard the naira from mutilation, he was quick to condemn the apex bank’s banning of spraying of the naira at parties.
According to him: “It’s okay for the CBN to launch a campaign against the rough-handling of the naira, but it’s wrong of them to ban the spraying of the naira at the same time. For me I don’t see anything wrong in people who are celebrating to spray themselves with money. I have never seen anywhere people are spraying money and tearing it at the same time. In fact, it’s new money that people spray and not old naira notes. So what are they talking about sef?”
Parliamentarian Azubuike Okwele, however, sharply disagreed with him. “Abeg, don’t talk like that. I support the banning of spraying at parties. It’s when people spray money and scatter it on the ground in the name of celebration that the thing starts tearing. Why should anybody go to the bank to collect new naira notes and come spray them at parties where people will just march them and tear them in the process. And small time these tear-tear notes will circulate and people will be rejecting them because they have become seriously torn. Maybe you don’t know that it costs a lot of money to print new notes and that is what the CBN has been doing off and on over the years because of the way we Nigerians often mishandle the naira,”he stated with a scowl.
Bola, however, insisted that the spraying of the naira at parties had nothing to do with its mutilated state. “Who told you it’s the spraying of the naira that makes it to tear? That one is a babanla lie! Spraying of the naira does not make it to tear. It’s conductors and market people you should blame.
If you see the way all these eleran, all these meat sellers handle money you will feel sorry for the naira. They will fold it anyhow and even stain it with blood. For conductors, their own is either to carry money about in their hands or to stuff it inside their dirty trousers without minding whether the thing will tear or not. These are the people responsible for tearing the naira not those who spray it at parties,” he declared heatedly.
“I laughed when I saw that it was police men they were using in the campaign against the mutilation of the naira,” chipped in parliamentarian Efe and hastened to explain when he saw most of his fellow parliamentarians staring at him uncomprehendingly. “In that TV campaign, it was police men that went about arresting those mutilating the naira. But is it not the same policemen that you will still see at the checkpoint collecting twenty-twenty naira from conductors and squeezing it into their pockets. Will the CBN also arrest and prosecute those policemen,” he asked no one in particular.
But before anyone could respond to the question, parliamentarian Clement Odua humourously expressed the view that the greatest culprits as far as the mutilation of the naira was concerned were women who stuff money in their brassier. “Look, the people we should blame for the problem are women who are fond of hiding money inside their breast. I believe that if we ban women from putting money inside their brassier, the rate at which the naira tears will reduce,” he submitted.
Parliamentarian Chukwudi immediately dismissed this as untrue because, according to him: “Only few women wear brassier these days. They don’t even bother to hide money inside their breast again where the thing can easily fall off”. But his response only succeeded in provoking more laughter among his fellow parliamentarians. |
