Have you found this ban lift useful in any way?
I think just like myself most Nigerians already had an alternative since and did not care much about this ban anymore because we were already used it. The government lifting the ban is more in their benefits than in the benefit of the citizens because although it makes it easier for us we already had our way of doing things but now governments are trying to get some revenue from it in the process. That's how I feel.

Normally this na the nigerian rugged spirit, once 1 way close, the other ways go still open and people dn already dy use to the new way. only be say that new way was costing more.


I found the lifting of the ban useful, but my question is, what was the essence of the band in the first place, to what advantage did the band give us as a people, because this is the question to ask ourselves before celebrating whatever the Federal government has decided to do now.
How can the Federal government wake up one morning and place a ban on 200 million persons to stop using their cards and purchase or make payments online and not allow them used the cards on international platforms, if not for saw wickedness on the part of government. Nigerians how to suffer the brunt of going through different processes on how to get payment online, just because of one silly policy. The good thing is that, thank god they've decided to wake up from their slumber.

I dont know if i should approach it as wickedness but no doubt they were very inconsiderable. Them just put excuse for ground say people dy use that way do plenty yahoo and Another fact be say since people bn dey use am buy dolar come hold, or for other dollar transsctions, e come dey make them no dey value naira like that. And that would lead to more decline of the dollar.
