Bankers vs Customers: 3 Times Frustrated Nigerians Did Crazy Things at Banks to Get Cash

• In October 2022, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced the redesign of N200, N500 and N1000 notes, urging Nigerians to deposit their old notes before January 31, 2023
• While some heeded the directive, several others took it lightly, and this compounded the current woes of the people that birthed the scarcity of new naira notes
• In the face of the hardship caused by the scarcity of the new notes, some Nigerians resorted to doing crazy things at banks to get their money
