So after all the chaos, we’re now hearing in court that the redesigned naira notes were produced locally on the directive of Muhammadu Buhari. Let that sink in. Months of cash scarcity, endless queues, struggling businesses—and this was the grand plan?

Now, Godwin Emefiele is standing trial, with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission accusing him of actions that caused hardship to the public. But Nigerians are asking the obvious question: can one man carry the blame for a decision that allegedly came from the top?

This isn’t just about policy anymore—it’s about accountability. Because while the big names argue in court, everyday Nigerians are still dealing with the damage. Businesses collapsed. Savings became inaccessible. Trust in the system? Even worse.

At this point, it’s hard not to wonder—was this ever really about helping the economy, or were citizens just caught in the crossfire of power plays?

Nigeria didn’t just experience a policy shift… it endured a nationwide experiment.
