When I saw the news yesterday, the title is misleading and it misled people like you.

October 1 is a public holiday before Tinubu become a president. If a holiday is during weekend, it would be shifted to Monday.

If you can call the president bubu, what should we call you for bringing this kind of useless topic?

Okay tell me why you said is useless Charles-Tim?
Was it not same thing you commented here I said above or was it because I used bubu instead of tinubu. Well the reason I refers him as Tinubu is because there is no different between their two and I don't see any reason you should ref this topic as useless. If you aren't info of this and you think Monday can be a day for transactions via counter then such person will miss. And besides you can see my title clearly where I said for 24hrs...
Abeg mind the way you roll your tongue

I no really see this news as anything sha. Not anything negative. I know everybody get him own opinion when it comes to things like this and everyone go want make him/her opinion carry weight. But thing be say, i no really see wetin dey wrong for this matter, since na human beings (Nigerians) too like you dey work for those banks and dem too need rest, and enjoy the rare joy and reverence wey such event they bring once in every year.

October 1st na the day wey Nigerian collect freedom on top white people wey come colonize us move our properties dem, legally and illegally go their own country to go develop themselves con leave us inside the mess wey we dey today. At least, Nigerian people, our leaders of then, who are the very true-spirited leaders wey we get dem, stand up against those oppression con help us collect our independence, diplomatically.

I believe say October 1st na one event way every brethren and progressive Nigerian go dey happy about. Hence the cause for the public holiday. So, I personally no see anything wrong with them closing for just 1 day. No forget say, even as them close, them ATM booths still dey open to collect cash.

Thank Almighty say we also get access to cashless society where you fit do virtually everything for your phone and POS, if you are left with no other option – in worst case scenario. So for somebody like me, I no really see any problem inside so far as dem go leave cash inside their ATM machines for that day.

I don't see any special effect that this has on the people. We have been having national holidays every now and then. The last few days being Wednesday, there was a holiday, and the banking system was not excluded. In celebration of Nigeria's independence, we don't expect some sectors to enjoy the freedom, and some are working their asses out.
 
This should just be seen as any other holiday we have in a while, and the reason for the holdiday being reasonable enough is not as if one cannot make use of their mobile banking; the only thing that's affected is that the banking sectors won't be open that very day, and it's not just the banks; some official workers who are government employees won't also be in office that day. It's just a day to enjoy and spread the freedom they believe we achieved 64 years ago. Let's just consider it a little free time given to workers to enjoy their time with their family and friends at home and enjoy the air and space of freedom.

I know see anything wrong with federal government decisions on shutting down banks for 24 hours even though the independence didn't fall on the said date but whichever way it is this is our country, it's just unfortunate that we work almost all day in this country no time to rest at all. Me self I even suggest that apart from dates that are fixed for public holidays , Nigeria as a country needs to set aside some days for workers to rest just like some other western countries does.

Moreover, shutting down banks for 24 hours shouldn't bother us as so many medium of monetary transactions have been made available for us online. So it shouldn't be an issue to us at all my people

I don't see any problem with the government declaring a public holiday for the country, as the bank shutdown is only 24 hours old. I don't think it will have an impact with the businesspeople. To be honest, we shouldn't criticize the federal government because this public holiday has been observed every year on October 1st since before Baba Tinubu was not elected, thus I don't see anything wrong with it.

Everyone deserves to celebrate the 63th anniversary of our nation because we can all agree that we are proud of it, just as we do when it is our birthday. What will prevent you from celebrating your fatherland's freedom independence when you can celebrate your birthday?

[rachael9385]

From my secondary school days till date, I have known that once a public holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, that means on Monday there will be no school because it's a holiday. It's both schools, banks and government workers won’t go to work, so it is not a bad idea for a bank to shut down for 24 hrs because it's a holiday. Besides, if banks don't open on Sundays and Saturday, businessmen and women who are in business are still doing well. It is just for everyone to plan ahead, so they won't be affected when it happens.

Moreover, we have POS shops almost everywhere around us, so even if banks close for a whole 48 hrs it won't affect them because people will start making use of the POS more, but as long as bank ATMs are working 24 hrs, shut down will not be a problem for business people.

Dis declaration no go change anything for me becos even when them no dey do any celebration, only network wahala sef fit delay your transactions for days sef so pipo no go too wori. This nah the reason why we dey advocate for BTC and why the Govt no dey in strong support because them know say them no get hands for there.
 
I no mean to look unpatriotic o but I no feel say naija sopoz dey get holidays for days like this sef. I no see wetin we dey celebrate if you ask me. Well, Tinubu don give order nah, who are the poor masses to object?

Na true you talk nothing go change but na good decision him take, make the workers were dey work make them get rest too since na only 24hours, and know be today Nigerian government start dey give holiday if any public holiday fall for weekend definitely they need to shift it to Monday, so that everyone can rest for that day Tinibu dey do well i no see anything wrong with that, since money go dey the ATM machine no problem waiting waiting go Rush person go bank say him get serious wish since technology done do anything if you get issue with your Account or dey on hack am, mobile banking dey you go just Deactivate am after 24hours dey go open am for you if you go report.

E no still bad if they say make people go rest for 24 hours Mate. Make you check your phone calendar you go see say from there e don indicate say Sunday and Monday na public holiday, so make you they sure say no be today they start this one and no be new thing for naija, normally if public holiday fall in weekend days they normally declare Monday to be also another day for workers to rest at home. So no be during tinubu this one start they been dey do am tey tey. However wetin I  reason about banks to shutdown for 24hrs be say be say make any worker just they house make them to respect this of independence that is why him include the banks and nothing wrong here. No be everything we go they criticize.
