Speaking to Freedom Radio, Malam Fancy, said he took his pregnant wife to the hospital when she was about to deliver, but that the hospital rejected his old naira notes and also had no POS, hence that they asked him to deposit the money in their account.
Should we Blame the hospital for being nonchalant, or the government for enforcing the cashless policy?
With the high rate of brutality by the hoodlums and the angry state of the youths, citizens fear a repeat of 2020. Obviously one of the worst days of our lives.
