Maimuna’s Memoir: Hmm, These New Notes Eh!

We left the office and decided to have dinner at the Plaza. Farida had finished from her shop, and joined us. We were all hoping Altine would come home soon. We chatted about how the interview had gone. And Farida was impressed I had found one employee.

Not to exaggerate, she knew how difficult I was to impress or to work with. She began suddenly, “My dears you guys had better get ready o, this new notes is beginning to cause a lot of issues! My husband was telling me he could not withdraw over the counter this afternoon.”

I knew it, I just knew this redesigned naira notes would cause a lot of issues! Just the other day, my father was complaining about how illogical it was for this to be happening at this time. I was the one in the family championing the cause as I believed it would end banditry and prevent buying of votes. But now, seated here with my friends, I was having a rethink on the whole matter.
