At this junction, anything that can cause more cash crunch will be a disaster for the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Many good ideas are marred by wrong timing. This is likely to be another one. No matter how ingenious the hatchers may romanticize, the benefit will remain a phantom since the reality on the ground is incongruous, and it spells doom for the escapade.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Eighty percent of Nigerians, especially rural people, depend on cash transactions. A sudden change to a cashless or cash-starved society will mean pauperizing them in a spate of a short time that could trigger \u2013 God Knows- an unprecedented socio-economic turmoil in this semi-skilled or unskilled population.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This kind of program is not for a government that is in the throes of its demise. Suppose there is any advantage of such adventures. In that case, it usually comes after many years of excruciating poverty and hardship, which no well-meaning government should hand over such cruelty to another incoming government to manage.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Had it been started in 2015, it could be logical since the same government will bear the consequence of its action. We are a witness when the banning of motorcycles, sell of petrol, and the blockage of communication in banditry-infested states did not help curb the menace but made the populace suffer more. This clearly shows that the government doesn\u2019t consider the pros and cons of its activities which are largely haphazard, not well thought through, and worst still clumsily executed<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Economic Suicide<\/h3>\n<p>According to the controversial cleric, stealing money from the people in order to bolster commercial banks will give a few people who control the banks an unfair advantage over the general public.<\/p>\n<p>He characterized the naira design as certain economic suicide for the North, which is underrepresented in the banking system.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>How many Nigerians have access to banks? How many do have the privilege to enjoy the most simple of banking loans? You need to know someone to get a loan is no news. In such a Nigeria, with this tight control of cash flow, the nation is treading towards communism and dictatorship.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What we need is a free market-driven economy with minimal cash flow control. As for the question of starving kidnappers of Naira, it goes without saying that they will resort to Dollars and other hard currencies, which will further put more pressure on it, making the rotten situation bad-der.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>kidnapping can only be stopped by robust policing, social justice for all, and equitable wealth distribution. Any cosmetic measures will not stop it. May Allah open our eyes and prevent us from jumping from frying pan to fire.
