Senate rejects N5,000 notes

THE National Assembly on Monday said it would stop the Central Bank of Nigeria from introducing its proposed N5, 000 note.
 Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Currency and Other Financial Institutions, Senator Bassey Otu, made this known yesterday.
He said that the Senate believed that the project required parliamentary approval because it had numerous and fiscal implications for the entire economy.
Moreso, The Civil Liberty Organisation (CLO)The Akwa Ibom State branch, has called for the prosecution of the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi, for the planned introduction of N5,000 note.
 Speaking on Monday in Uyo, Clifford Thomas, the State Chairman of CLO said: The N5,000 proposed by the CBN is anti-people. It is a deliberate policy to increase poverty, punish the over 160 million Nigerians so that the rich will become richer and the poor, poorer. It will be much easier to commit electoral fraud, as the money will be handy to transmit about,”.

 I hope he is kidding about the prosecution part sha o but I particularly think this is a failed macro-economic policy.Inflation won't just gallop,it will fly noni.Nigeria has passed the stage where one CBN governor parades himself as the mr-know it-all-of-our-time and yet our economy keeps crashing while he makes unhealthy policies to imprint his name on national annals instead of working in the economic interest of the people and nation of Nigeria as is required of him by virtue of his office.

Strictly by IV!

I have always believed that weddings should be one of the happiest days in a couple's life.Overtime,I have seen couples swing from happy mood to sad because there are a lot more people than they budgeted for present at their wedding.In my dear country Nigeria,believe me,weddings are jamboree occassions.Invited or not,known to the couple or not,you can attend a wedding if you want to.I sincerely think that knowing the number of people coming to your wedding will help you curb expenses and stay within budget. Sadly,many people feel that weddings should be a happy moment for everyone and anyone present at the wedding as in come one,come all!.Well,if you have a blank cheque you can open your doors to the whole country!Some people actually think it is rude to be strict with the number of people you invite to your wedding,anyway you could choose to add +2 people besides the name of whomever you give an invitation.I personally think that the best way to have a fantastic wedding is to acco...
