Nearly a month after announcing the plan to give naira banknotes a makeover, President Muhammadu Buhari and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin 鈥淢effy鈥 Emefiele, gleamed with pride when they on November 23, 2022.
Naturally, the redesigned notes were bound to stir reactions and Nigerians haven鈥檛 disappointed since the president launched them.
We have some very important questions Meffy needs to answer.
Who exactly redesigned these notes??
The only thing the designer did was to change the colours of the old notes and we鈥檙e a little bit confused. We want to know who鈥檚 responsible.
We just want to talk
What鈥檚 the real occupation of the designer?
We鈥檝e seen these new notes and we can only assume it鈥檚 the tie-and-dye project of a secondary school student or a makeup artist experimenting with new colours.
How much will this redesign cost taxpayers?
Printing money is expensive and Nigeria spent about between 2016 and 2022.
We need to know how much the CBN spent on this Snapchat makeover and how much the designer collected without conscience.
How much time did this even take?
Now that we think about it, it鈥檚 not a surprise the CBN of the notes. We can clearly see the designer spent 10 minutes to find the right filter and submitted to Meffy for approval.
It鈥檚 the definition of soft work
Is this intentional?
Nigerians love to drip and display their wealth but these new notes are about to cramp our style. If Meffy鈥檚 plan to fight inflation is to release these ugly notes to stop Nigerians from having too much of it in circulation, then he鈥檚 an evil genius because it鈥檚 working.
