CBN SET TO INTRODUCE THE NEW 5000 NAIRA NOTE SOON
Ok, that was just me messing with photoshop! but seriously, CBN is set to introduce the N5000 note and guess whose face(s) would be on it, yeah u guessed right or did you guess wrong?! smh, why would i waste 5minutes of my life trying to fuse the picture of the women and the ojukwu version of the note if they have nothing to do with the N5000 naira bill.
Here is a brief bio of the women who made it to the N5000 note:
1. Funmilayo Ransom Kuti (1900-1979) was a teacher, a political campaigner, women's right activist and traditional aristocrat. Ransom kuti's political activism led to her being described as the doyen of female rights in nigeria, as well as to her being regarded as "The Mother of Africa." And just so you know, she is the first woman to drive a car in nigeria and the mother of the famous Fela Anikulapo Kuti :) [right]
2. Hajiya Gambo Sawaba (1933-2011) was an independent political activist who was a supporter of the pro-masses Northern Elements Progressive union (NEPU). Her political activities during during the period earned her persecutions from both the colonial authorities and the native administrations which resulted in her being incarcerated, according to her biography.

3. Margaret Ekpo (1914-2006) was a nigerian women's rights activist and social mobilizer who was a pioneering female politician in the country's first republic and was a leading member of a class of traditional Nigerian women activists. [left]
It's a good thing that we are having, for the first time, the face of a woman(women!) on the Naira note(O BOY IF PERSON LOST AM NA DIE O). And i hope and pray that the 10, 20, and the 50 Naira notes won't get relegated. oh! i didn't mention 5 Naira? sorry but it just doesn't seem to be able to get me anything reasonable in the market i.e it's been relegated. God Bless Nigeria.
