I tink it’s more condusive and safer! But the fact is in every new development there must be some half-harzerd movement, but we can still adapt.

This is not what we need now, we should be more concern about how to stabilize our economy rather than wasting time on irrelevant things.

In a cashless economy like nigeria where transation is almost with out physical cash(money),transfer of money is with e-payment. what do we need 5000naira note for?the economist should know dat 1 mistake will bring de crying nigeria 2 a standstill & high inflation.if a doctor make mistake, 1 patient might die but a mistake of an economist can kill a country.
