Some businesses in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, are rejecting the old naira notes despite a Supreme Court order temporarily halting the ban on

Earlier, the Central bank of Nigeria extended the deadline to phase out the old notes to February 10.

However, last week the Supreme Court judgement restrained the apex bank from implementing the February 10 deadline pending a proper hearing on Wednesday on the matter. According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, residents have lamented that traders and businesses have started rejecting the old notes in the nation’s capital.Justifying his decision, Ugwu said he is not accepting the old notes because fuel stations have begun rejecting them.“I went to fuel my car at the station with the old notes but they did not accept them. That is why I insist on passengers boarding with new notes.

Verdicts: Blame Political Parties Not Justices, Supreme Court Tells Prof Kperogi, OthersThe Supreme Court of Nigeria, at the weekend, warned against what it called unguarded statements targeted at the integrity of the apex court and its Justices. The last hope of the common man telling us to blame politicians. Na waoh! But come to think of it, what is right should be called right and what is wrong should also be labeled as wrong. So our judges, the rulings from your court are they right or wrong. Your courts are supposed to be a place where everyone seeks justice, but you and your judges have turned it into a place of how heavy your pocket is, Who do you know, where are you from etc. Shame on you and your judges. Take the blame for the failure of your courts.
