Ever since the Central Bank Governor (CBN) Godwin 鈥淢effy鈥 Emefiele decided to dress up and redesign the N200, N500, and N1,000 banknotes, things have been looking scary for the naira, with and intense.
Despite the Finance minister having zero ideas on the matter, Meffy isn鈥檛 turning back on his plans to on December 15, 2022. Here are three聽 things we at Citizen would love to see (or not see) with the new naira notes:
A picture of the #EndSARS victims
Remembering the by symbolically placing them on the nation鈥檚 currency will serve as a true mark of honor to our fallen heroes.
But wait, our government , so that may be a lost cause. Fingers crossed anyway.
Some more Nigerian heroines
We are tired of seeing great Nigerian women relegated to the back of the naira notes.
What happened to women like Funmilayo Ransom-Kuti, Queen Amina, Margaret Ekpo, and the rest of them? They too, need to stand out boldly at the front of the naira notes like the men.
More pop culture icons
Have you ever reasoned that the lack of Nigerian pop culture icons may be what is making our naira fall?
Maybe if we are always seeing Burna Boy and Asake on our naira notes every day, we may decide to thrash dollar notes in the bin and appreciate our currency more.
Have any more ideas on what you wish to see on the Naira? Let us know.
