GEJ may halt the introduction of N5,000 notes

President Goodluck Jonathan has agreed to put on hold the plan to introduce the 5000 naira note.
The President met with the leadership of the National Assembly after the sessions of the Senate and House of Representatives on Tuesday and the vexed issue of N5000, which the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) intended to unveil next year was one of the top issues on the agenda.
Sources said that Jonathan told the lawmakers that approval given on the N5000 note could be reversed if it was the wish of the people.
However, it was not immediately known if the President had directed the CBN to suspend action on the currency restructuring. It remains unclear whether the president has issued a directive to that effect.

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...
