Trader: How KongaPay saved my life amid Naira scarcity - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

A petty trader, Mrs. Bolade Inuwa, has narrated how she was spared huge embarrassments and inconveniencies in the wake of the recent policy pronouncement on the redesign of select denominations of the national currency – the Naira, specifically referencing how KongaPay, a mobile money wallet operated by Nigeria’s leading e-commerce giant, the Konga Group, came to her rescue.

Nigerians from all walks of life have had to contend with severe difficulties in the wake of the announcement by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which initially pegged January 31, 2023 as the deadline for the return of old series of 200, 500 and 1000 Naira notes. Amid concerns raised in various quarters, the CBN had stuck to its guns, insisting there are no plans to shift the deadline, prompting some businesses to stop receiving the old series of affected denominations even ahead of the deadline for their return.

Breaking News : Protest in Ariaria Aba over Police killing

Breaking News @ITRealms:

The popular Ariaria Internatoional Market in Aba, Abia State is boiling, due to police killing of a trader, reports ITRealms.

This is coming in the wake of  recent protests by traders  across South Eastern Nigeria over the relocation of Boko Haram suspects in a prison in Ekwulobia, Anambra State.

According to eye-witnesses, the current protest in Ariaria International market in Aba, Friday afternoon, was due to killing of a trader by a happy trigger police man.

For Mr. Obalum Henry,  "There is crisis in Ariaria International Market Aba, Abia State," he confirmed.

Yet another eye witness, Ojiego Nelson attributed the protest to the killing of a trader in front of his shop by the Police. 

“Police shot dead one innocent youth in front of his shop,” Ojiego wrote on a Facebook comment in Anambra Progressive Forum.

At the time of filing this story, ITRealms was unable to confirm the story from the Nigeria Police. 

But reports reaching ITRealms showed that the Police post nearby was vandalised and set partially ablaze by angry mobs who dumped the dead body in front of the Police post in a wheel barrow.
