  1. this CBN no well. what is this one na, you guys don't know some banks charge N65 for every withdrawer with another bank's ATM card. Na wa o. This is another opportunity for banks to put N100 and N200 notes so that the opportunity to collect N65 will increase. This means your N10,000 will take plenty withdrawers to complete giving them room to steal more of your money. God will judge all of you...
