There was drama on Monday at the High Courts in Lagos State as lawyers and litigants could not file their court processes using the old naira notes for payment because the court officials rejected the notes, saying the banks no longer accept them as legal tender. The development adds another wrinkle to the country's lingering naira crisis.

February 14, 2023There was drama on Monday at the High Courts in Lagos State as lawyers and litigants could not file their court processes using the old naira notes for payment because the court officials rejected the notes, saying the banks no longer accept them as legal tender.

Henceforth, the court official noted that lawyers and litigants must come with only the new naira notes. He bemoaned the fact that the Supreme Court's order to keep the old naira notes in circulation was being disregarded. The Supreme Court had on February 8, 2023, made an interim order, restraining the CBN from going ahead with the enforcement of its February 10, deadline for the use of the old naira note.

Nigeria needs patriots that will stand for her Let's work together to save our nation Embrace Aboriginal Democracy and join the Okotie-led conversation! Listen now to AboriginalDemocracy ConversationwithOkotie

Confused naijira

The courts that wants us to obey their decision is disobeying the supreme Court.Obey when it favours you.

Okay nah

Wahala no dey finish 😂😂😂😂

People should have a say in the money they transact with, not bankers. Otherwise people become slaves to a financial system that deprives them of wellbeing and ultimately people lose!

Imagine lower court in Nigeria rejection the Apex court decision, what a.........?

That's because they know who is in charge of monetary policy under the law

In court too how wonderful this our country is😂😂😂

Everybody is confused who's to obey is order in Nigeria court, cbn, buari......who do Nigeria like this?👀

It's actually funny. They can't collect it because they also know the implication of what the supreme court said. Truth is that CBN still has final say on Monetary issues in Nigeria as of today.

Upside down country

Mad ooooooooooo

Imagine a country where a lower court disobeys the ruling of the Apex court in the land. You can see why the FG does not have any regard for court rulings. Even the courts contradict themselves.

The little things we do will definitely hunt us back. Small injustices given out for money will weaken us. Now the Supreme Court has made herself laughing stock. Everyone can choose to obey or not to obey.

Just imagine how you will attract genuine investors

Dey play

It a shame, very serious

Sebi una get power pass FG policy.

This is what happens when there's no law and order... Everybody is a boss in his or her office

Laffs

Haha haha

Courts disobeying the court. What an irony? Lower courts disobeying the supreme court of the land. So the famous quote' We are final, not because we are infallible, but we are infallible because we are final' no longer suffices. How time changes.

Welcome to dog eat dog empire. A nation that claim to be learned boasts of all manner and colours of degree but knows less to nothing in implementation of any policy no matter how simple.

Supreme Court have no power over CBN. That’s why we have 3 arms of government. The legislative, executive and judiciary. And there’s another thing we called “separation of power” lastly Supreme Court have no power over CBN. only burahi can stop CBN but he’s not ready to do that.

Court gave ruling, Court disobeyed ruling! Mad people!

El Rufai, Zamfara Governor and the other one just misled the Supreme court into making pronouncements in a hurry that has seen it very ridiculed & a laughing stock! What can the the court do now? Clueless!

My own is that we aren’t even seeing the new note(money)

Even your boo get him boo 🤣

The confusion 😕 of Nigeria has affected the judiciary. The judgement of the Supreme Court is final

😂😂😂🙂

If you're studying law in Nigeria line up here 😂 Choose between the two to start your life 😂 1. POS 2. OKADA

I support cause only CBN can decide on monetary policies not cort or governors.

Courts rejecting superior court judgement...It can only happen in a banana republic like Nigeria

The SC did not make any ruling..just say let all parties maintain status quo pending the hearing...CBN is an independent body a creation of the Constitution..FG and SG are fighting wetin concern CBN as far dem no call dem for the fight...the CBN must be independent no matter wat

boi_mish Hummmmmmm! There was once a country indeed.😂😂😂😂

This is misinformation. Even PRO in a meeting passes a clear information but Nigeria as country confused it's citizen. Governor and supreme court has confuse us. If Malik Ado-Ibrahim become our president, all this disorderly will stop. mainigeria2023 YPP YPPnational Old Naira

You people know how to twist things and make them look difficult. The supreme court ruling was on the CBN not the public. The CBN is the one that will tell us to accept old or new currency. The supreme court order is applicable to the CBN no the courts in Lagos pls.

That tells you who is collecting the money is not government. Otherwise why should we be paying such fees in cash? The money never gets to government coffers.

The notes are no more legal tender from 12th.. of February 2023.

Anarchy looming . APC have destroyed Nigeria

Courts reject old naira notes, turn lawyers, litigants backThere was pandemonium on Monday at the high courts in Lagos State as lawyers and litigants were unable to file their court processes using the old naira notes for payment. If courts can reject old notes, then how can we blame common Nigerians? If anything, the courts ought to collect the money as custodians of our jurisprudence and an instrument of government but alas, disappointment all around! It's laughable. Same court that gave judgement is now rejecting old naira notes? Simple signs of finding ourselves hanging on the edge of a precipice... Oya Supreme Court rulling come ooo...

Confusion As Nigerian Banks Reject Old Naira Notes Despite Supreme Court Ruling | Sahara ReportersMost banks customers were confused on Monday as commercial banks rejected the old Naira notes they wanted to deposit. This is despite a Supreme Court ruling stopping the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from implementing the February 10, 2023 deadline for swapping of old Naira notes for the newly redesigned Naira notes. Why do I have the feeling that that the banks and Central Bank wants to frustrate the people into taking to the streets in protest? Who's trying to manipulate the system? There's this thinking in Nigeria that the supreme court can tell others what to do, I'm not sure that's the case. Lol. Does Buhari respect Supreme Court judgements? If He did, Nnamdi Kanu would be a free man today.
