Emiefele 101: How To Buy Money with Money

Emiefele 101: How To Buy Money with Money

With every passing day and every new stunt by the leaders, I believe more and more that Nigeria is one big movie and we're all fictional characters.

This year's stunt? Emefiele, the estranged former CBN governer woke up one day and thought, "What if we made Nigerians buy money with money?" And then he went ahead to redesign the naira notes, causing cash scarcity in the country.

One thing is certain, majority of the population suffered for this act in different ways, some people in more ways than others.

Listen to this podmas episode as I share my cash scarcity experience.

First Day at LAWMA Academy

First Day at LAWMA Academy

If you're considering applying for an internship too or just wondering what it felt like to work there, this episode and subsequent ones I'll put out as I advance in the internship program will really be useful.
