DeleteNdi ara. They'll still collect bribe and let them go.
DeleteYes it's true Stella. Enough drama at d airport when we were going on holidays. Infact some missed their flight cos they were being scrutinized as to why they had so much cash to travel with. They weren't listening to any stories o. Some said they were going to pay their kids' school fees abroad, whilst majority said it was for their holiday expenses etc. Long thing it was

DeleteAzin mumu raised to power 100. Please its a crime to b this dumb eziokwu!
DeleteIdiot. U are so ethnically blinded dat u see Buhari as d cause of everything. U better drink sniper and end it once and for all cos I don't think u will be able to cope till d next 4 years.
DeleteSo other tribes don't travel? Get some sense please
DeleteWhere is the sense in what you just said???? How traders take concern BH
DeleteChinasa oginikwanu! Hia!!?The news clearly states traders not IGBO traders and what has PMB and BH got to do with this! I dash you sense. Ngwa bye.
DeleteGbg ..... u must hv graduated with a first class. U too get brain. Chinasa is d opposite of u tho. Foolishness. Igbos r always shouting that they r being victimized. Una no form biafra again? Idiots. Is every person traveling an ibo man? I am bayelsan n i saw pepper on my last trip. Did i die? Nonsense
DeleteAm surprised at this. Let me travel first and know if it is true. then i will tell.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a choice than to love you jeje

ReplyDeleteYeah...heard same...10k dolls aint bad tho..
DeleteSo u heard? Mtchewww
DeleteI don't think that's possible.....for wetin?..se na drugs ni abi now wetin
ReplyDeleteMy dear its going on right now in enugu airport. Police and efcc are arresting traders and seizing their money.
ReplyDeleteOde give more specific details instead just opening your mouth it's going on right now....
Deleteyou sabi hear o if its true then they better stop it
ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
What for???
ReplyDeleteChincobee.blogspot.com
Yes o...very true
ReplyDeleteI heard you can't leave the airport with anything above 10,000euros..this is aimed at frustrating business men and women, particularly the igbos.
Bookohari, well done!
Just continue with your wickedness...Your end shall be worst than Abacha.
My dear it's So in foreign countries. Except U are with Ur business Card. Most naija business men don't ave business Card....
DeleteIf u were really smart, u will know this is CBN way of making sure all nigerians dt transact abroad have credit cards to reduce the rate of being robbed and left stranded abroad. Biko wen will my ppl of obodo nigeria use the God given sense that they were blessed with? More so ode that is calling ibos, is it only igbos that travel abroad to do business? Iti mpataka.
DeleteNot even business cards alone but proof that you are a business owner. It's done all over the world not nigeria alone.
DeleteIt is ur own end that will b worse. Do you not know about anti money laundering rules? Gtfoh u idiot n go n enlighten yourself
DeletePple be exhibiting deftness. Nobody legitimately travels with any amount above $10k. The law has always been there in Nigeria and elsewhere
Delete#Daftness
DeleteIf u had sense or had the opportunity of travelling, you will know u can't most countries with 10k maximum watch boarder patrol and get enlightened.
DeleteMr Lyca
Its for the betterment of those involved.one shouldn't be travelling with such amount of money sef
Delete@Nonye, they have limits for credit cards now. I think u can't transact above 300 dollars with ur credit card sef per day
Delete@ify, nne tanx...I was going to educate Nonye Anumpam but u just did.
DeleteCredit cards have limits, duh!
Do you realize dat there are business men and women whose monthly purchases are well over half a million Euros??? So how do they move such funds? A smart girl would say opening a letter of credit for their products (not Nonye though cos she is daft!) Letters of credit can only be opened for new products. So what happens to dealers of fairly used products??? Hmmm. So since they can't open LCs, they should pack up because Dictator Buhari is bent on taking us back to the military era.
Dear Mr President, if you are serious about stopping money laundering, should it be at the expense of hard working legitimate business men? Gosh, Naija I can't deal with the level of backwardness here abeg.
God bless you Nonye Okonkwo, some people can be sooooooo draft! Always playing the victim card! Lord have mercy!
Delete@ anonymous 20:58: are u saying that without a letter of credit, u can not import again. Chai! Ignorance is bad o!
DeleteSo what happens to opening ur form and purchasing export proceeds and transfer via ur bank account to ur clients bank. Even ur so called business men and women that make purchases of over half a million euros don't usually carry such amounts as cash. They equally do transfers. Was it not on this blog that we read that Cristiano Ronaldo's mother was detained at an airport in spain cos she 60'000 euros cash? Before u bad mouth pple, make sure u r better off.
Idiot so u don't know that all bank transfers via dom accts were cancelled infact there are no dom transfers in Nigeria any more so there is no way to transfer to ur shippers account, this has been d policy for abt a month now.so who is ignorant now?
DeleteOdee @ anon 00:58, you can't transfer more than a certain amount of money under the new rule! Confirm with your bank.....Do not compare the western world with Nigeria, they do not deal on fairly used products, that is why they are called developed nations. And because they don't deal on fairly used imports, it is very easy for them to open Form M for their transactions.....That was why it was big deal dat Cristano's mum had 60k cos it was not for business purposes, she might have as well made a bank transfer or used her credit card for shopping. Yes, Nigerian business people use to travel with as much as 500k dolls and as long as you declare at the airport with proof of business transaction/dealing, it was no problem
DeleteAunty ITK, oversabina please get ur block head informed....Odee spewing shit when u know nix.
useless police men!
ReplyDeletewhy??? say wetin happen?
ReplyDeleteLol.....good but. 4k is too small Na haba
ReplyDeleteNot a clue
ReplyDeleteNaso jare Osasere
DeleteThe changii you all voted for is here.
ReplyDeleteLmao
I just heard the story...... From Biafra radio tho
ReplyDeleteIt's very TRUE, I know someone that was arrested
ReplyDeleteArrest me on top my money?
DeleteDon't really knw, waiting for comments to start rolling in
ReplyDeleteNo be if you declare?
ReplyDeleteA while ago, My cousin who had never been to Nigeria came for the first time from America and he declared at the airport checkpoint that he had just $10,000, shortly after he left the airport, they were double crossed and robbed of everything except the clothes he was wearing! The car used for the robbery had government plate numbers. Of course, He has never visited again, till today we call him "just ten thousand dollars"
Lol
DeleteSue, don't declare naa.
DeleteShows u are not a frequent traveller.
Dem go seize all ur money, you hear.
Just airport workers use juju to sniff out cocaine carriers and passengers with cash.
What is wrong with this country? Who gave this order? Na wa
ReplyDeleteCashless Naija, great move. They should arrest politicians too not only traders o.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't oh,
ReplyDeleteNot only trader oooo, every and anybody , whenever I travel these rouges would ask and ask how much you are traveling with and when they see you no send they would start to intimidate people .
ReplyDeleteAwon ole and it's not only police oooh na custom , immigration and their likes beggy beggy idiots . Meanwhile there are loads of Nigerians bailing with huge sums of money , yet they will never know .
It's above 10k not 4k but the truth is that am investigating it and I need to get some undeniable proof b4 I can say anything on this.
ReplyDeleteRumour has it that some people within the agencies at the airport are into some illegal activities now, they charge N2 per $1. Do u how much that is?The people involve will bring the money to the boarding gate for the passenger that will be traveling with it. Someone who was paid to transport the money said that him alone carried over $2M last week. They r there harassing genuine poeple. Let me tell u the truth, over $20M goes through our airport everyday to Dubai and China. GMB can't be in Aso rock and be in the airport to fight corruption at the same time. As u can see the motive of this policy is defeated, dollar still on the rise because it still finds its way out of the country daily.

Yes stella its true. Dozzy oil jnr brother was arrested wit his hard earned 80k dollars at d airport last 3wks. He was askwd by d immigration/police to either bribe them withh half of the money or make noise amd forfiet the money entirely. Everybody knws dozzy oil is rich man that worked to be where he is today. So the guy refused and said he was ready to die for d case since he knws he didnt steal it. Hes stil been held up till now. I dont understand wat dis country is turning into. Imagine one to just give half of ur money to somebody that is just sitting in his office like dat. Buhari is targetting igbos and if hes not careful. We resort to prayers and we all knw wat happens.
ReplyDeleteMake ur point if u got any and dont say wat u havr no proof of. if the man is being detained unjustly den it shld b taken up to higher authorities.. Dont stay her talking nonsense @Targeting igbos. Btwn, u don chop today?
DeleteGo siddon abeg. Naim una prayers no bring bck chibok girls? No food n water?
DeletePlease resort to it
DeleteI'm waiting for what will happen
Idiot
My dear I believe in prayers too, but no be so God dey work, ok? What are the laws governing money laundering, carrying of cash across countries, etc. You might not be aware of the laws so do a little research before letting your ignorance show.
DeleteMimi or Mumu? What is he carrying $80k cash for? Why didn't he approach bank if his transactions are genuine? Initiate a Form M or Form A and your money will be wired for you, you pay in Naira and the bank will transfer electronically. If you are avoiding the bank, it's either you want to import contraband or avoid paying duties
DeleteMay thunder fire all of u working against igbos. Yorubas especially. Ndi oshi by pen. U think everybody is like u lazy touts. Igbos work hard for their money unlike u dat steal wiit pen. Bigots!
DeleteMimi ignore dem idiots
DeleteThey've been doing Dis in abroad Naaaaa y d surprise? Even if you're a billionaire u can't pass through airport with Huge amount of money. So y d surprise?
ReplyDeleteSomepeople claiming business m/women jst to thief..
I love dis new Nigeria mehnnnn
Maka why
ReplyDeleteGbogbo Bigz Girlz. (GBG) you are an imbecile.
ReplyDeleteThings like this wil be happening in nigeria and bloggers like linda ikeji will not post but if kim kardashian farts or coughs she will be the first person to tell us about it. Nawa o
ReplyDeleteY not open Ur own blog And start Blogging About What's Happening In Nigeria? Dis is how u will Also Go to another Blog to bring Stella Down. For Ur info I am not a fan of Linda at all but dat doesn't give me d right To bring Her down.
DeleteWho said 10000dollars? They arresting traders with above 4500 dollars
ReplyDeleteTo think u can only withdraw £100 per day on machine as against £300. How do get things done without sufficient access to your funds?. This vacation get as im be. The innocent ones shouldn't be made to suffer with the quilty ones.
ReplyDeleteYou get things done by paying with your card.
DeleteSome shops do not accept cards especially all those street shops, Liverpool mkt and Peckham, u need to pay cash.
DeleteHmnnnn
ReplyDeleteyes so i heard too from a colleague
ReplyDeletehe said igbo traders are saying buhari came to scatter everything.
it is well
Hmmm..serious matter
ReplyDeleteBuhari change! Hardship don come, prices of goods would sky rocket now. Baba well done! Na the way foward!
ReplyDeleteGoing cashless is a good idea...from unforeseen contigencies......but na by force?
ReplyDeleteIn countries in Europe, you have to declare amounts over 10thousand euros and in the states it is 10009 dollars. When you declare you have to prove to them how you obtained the funds. These are efforts to stop money laundering and ill gotten money. So good work of it has been introduced to Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThe law states that you can't travel with more than 10k dollars or 4 thousand pounds,otherwise you will need to declare even in foreign countries,so let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill Abegy
ReplyDeleteWhy do we igbo always cry foul even when somethings are in everyones benefits . When will igbos stop seeing themselves as victims. I pity the igbo race.
ReplyDeleteWhat's really happening?
ReplyDeleteWhat will it achieve or does it favour the economy?
ReplyDeleteAll the ofemmanu people on this blog amadioha gbagbukwa unu their. Ugly smelly frogs
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed beauty without ako na uche! And people that knows what exactly what is try so hard to educate you but you have failed woefully! Pity, nwanne pity!
DeleteChinasa u're simply a hater..... Go work on ur self esteem
ReplyDeleteI think is above 10k.euro?
ReplyDeletei have to go there and see for my self..
the problems about nigerians are they like talking and rumor with mouths.
and no action
But even in the US. You have to declare you are carrying more than $10k. While going for summer. I had my cash and my 2atms simple. How can I go with 3kids to US and you wan begin minimise my money for me. But the banks are thieves. Gtbank charged 225 to a dollar and skye charged 227. Only to come back and see that dollar is 220 for black market sef. That explains why people are carrying a lot of cash
ReplyDeleteThe rate bank gives u these days is way higher than black market. £ is 344 as at yesterday with access bank ole while it's 330 at the black market. I wonder why it's more expensive to deal with banks directly.
DeleteNawa o
ReplyDeleteanyway, this is Nigeria anything can happen
Nawa o
ReplyDeleteanyway, this is Nigeria anything can happen
Unfortunately, some peeps don't have the right infor. probably b/c they have NEVER traveled out of Nigeria. LOL!.
ReplyDeleteThere is what we call CDF - Currency Declaration Form, it's been in use in Nigeria for the past 2/3 years now. If you are traveling out with physical cash of more than $10,000 (not sure of the min amount again), you will be given this form to fill. This is to check money laundering, but the issue must have been that peeps have been lying and maneuvering their ways during Dr.Jonathan's administration, now our agencies are showing power b/c they don't want to be probed. NCS, NIS, NPF, EFCC, et al now exercise their powers - to avoid stories that touch.
For the records, Igbo traders may be the most affected not necessarily because they are targeted but b/c they most times show high level of indiscipline/disobedience to the law, taking unnecessary risks. BTW I am an Igbo woman by nature.
what sense does that make when bank issues BTA of $5000 to business people. these banks are ripping us off....fidelity bank charges a whooping N223 naira for foreign ATM withdrawal (it was even N228 in august). they need to give us official bank rates(N199.50), not fair! i have lost so much money that i have decided not to use my atm card again in foreign atm
ReplyDeleteAnon 14:45 it's always funny how people call others mumu and then show they know nothing about the topic. Have you used Form M and A and all the form with the different alphabets you listed to transfer money recently? Are you aware that you can't pay cash into your dollar account so if he got the money from mallam, no bank will let him deposit it let alone transfer it for him? If the bank will not give you forex for your business or to pay school fees, is if not mallam you will go to? I have used my card here couple of times and the rate charged is higher than black market. I will advice anyone travelling to go and buy the currency of the country they are going to. Shikena!
ReplyDeleteCBN announced that they have started PTA, when I went to the bank, I was informed that it takes 4 working days to do PTA now and chances of CBN approving it was very slim unlike before when you just go with your flight ticket and passport and get the money the same day. Thank God I decided to go to the bank 2 weeks before I travelled...my first application was denied after waiting for 4 days. I reapplied, attaching all the docs I have never presented in all my years of doing PTA before it was approved after another 4 working days wait. I was told by the bank that I was luck as I was the second person in 3 weeks to get it. That even school fees applicants with the Form A were denied so please be sure of what you are saying before calling someone mumu. It's not everything they tell you on the news that is implemented.
Don't mind some people on this blog jor....just talking for the purpose of it!
DeleteThe present stand of things now is really so bad it calls for serious change or kasala go burst!
Buhari please target ur thieving politicians and let honest hard working Nigerians with families to feed be.
They won't arrest you if you declare the money and prove where the funds came from. It happens even in the west. I have watched it severally on UK Border Force where they seize money that you cannot explain the origin. Most of the money are usually friends wanting to send money back home (illegal immigrants) etc.
