That was my comment in a Telegram channel about 10 minutes ago:

I have been looking at the site of the European Earthquake Center for years. For Europe and the Mediterranean region, about 40 a day were common, rarely it went to 100 and afair 2-3 times in the time over 100. In the days after the strong quake it got to over 400, last week it dropped below 200, the day before yesterday below 150, then it rose again to now <190. Most are now between 2.0 and 4.5, but as you can see from the 6.4 it is not over yet.

Naira Protests: Why Nigerians Are Burning Banks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkc2Pdu4kbk

Currency crisis in Nigeria: citizens take to the streets in protest over cash shortage - 16/02 - 10:49
Nigeria has been plagued by a shortage of banknotes denominated in the local currency, the naira since the central bank began changing the old bills for new ones. Banks have limited bank withdrawals due to the scarcity of new bills, and some businesses are refusing to accept the old notes, leading to long lines and disruption of business activities. With ten days to go before the presidential election in a country already plagued by frequent fuel shortages, violence occurred in the southwest in Ibadan and Benin City and in the southern state of Delta. According to the police in Delta State, "youths/villagers" set fire to two banks and two vehicles. "We have arrested nine suspects at this stage. Some will call it protests," state police spokesman Bright Edafe said on Twitter. Local television footage posted on their Twitter accounts showed young men burning tires on the outskirts of Warri locality in Delta State. In Benin City, protests broke out when police prevented "thugs" from attacking the local office of the Central Bank, according to the spokesman for the Edo State governor, Crusoe Osagie. https://www.africanews.com/2023/02/16/currency-crisis-in-nigeria-citizens-take-to-the-streets-in-protest-over-cash-shortage/

Naira Redesign: Protesters Target Banks in Lagos, Ogun - February 17, 2023
Civil unrest has been reported earlier in the day, with the Nigerian Police Force stepping in to quell riots in the areas of Ojota, Ketu, and Mile 12. Social media trends also show that Iwo road in Ibadan, Oyo state; Ifo town in Ogun state; Alakuko alongside Abeokuta expressway, Lagos; and Joju, Sango-Otta in Ogun similarly faced unrest. Meanwhile, Zenith Bank and UBA in Epe were attacked, while Access Bank has ordered the closing down of its branches. https://businesspost.ng/banking/naira-redesign-protesters-target-banks-in-lagos-ogun/

Nigeria: Protests at banks and ATMs amid ‘cash scarcity’ concerns - 17/02/2023 - 14:12
Destroying ATMs, breaking into banks and setting up blockades in the street: angry protests erupted on February 15 in several cities across Nigeria as people struggle to get their hands on newly designed banknotes. Frustration is mounting as some citizens can’t purchase basic necessities amid widespread shortages of the new currency, just a week ahead of the 2023 general elections. The Central Bank of Nigeria began circulating newly designed banknotes worth 1,000, 500 and 200 naira (2.03, 1.02 or 0.41 euros) on December 15, 2022. The move was intended to replace dirty, old cash currently in circulation, tackle inflation and counterfeiting, as well as promote a cashless society. https://observers.france24.com/en/africa/20230217-nigeria-naira-cash-scarcity-protests-banks-election

Nigerian Bankers Ordered To Stay Off Work Over Naira Scarcity Crisis

Banks Receive Fresh Order, To Shut Down From Monday Over Naira Crisis - Sunday, February 19th, 2023 at 7:13 AM
The Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFI) has directed all bank workers to stay away from work following attacks until normalcy is restored. The directive is coming as more bank branches come under attack by hoodlums across the country owing to the current naira scarcity.
In a media briefing in Lagos, the association had on Thursday warned that it might be forced to direct its members to stay away from work if the attacks on banks and their staff were not immediately halted by the government and concerned security authorities. https://www.naijanews.com/2023/02/19/banks-receive-fresh-order-to-shut-down-from-monday-over-naira-crisis/

UK government and Bank of England says a CBDC will be needed in the not-too-distant future - February 19, 2023
Last week, two big things happened in the Central Bank Digital Currency (“CBDC”) arena. Another G-7 economy, the UK, took a big step toward adopting a CBDC. At the same time, the first largish economy to have launched a CBDC, Nigeria, descends further into financial chaos. One of the world’s oldest central banks, the Bank of England (“BoE”), and the British government jointly confirmed that a digital pound would probably be necessary at some point in the none-too-distant future. While they were saying that, lengthy queues were forming at ATMs across Nigeria, the first largish economy to launch a CBDC, as most Nigerians struggle to access physical money following the government’s disastrous demonetisation campaign. https://expose-news.com/2023/02/19/ukgov-and-boe-says-a-cbdc-will-be-needed-soon/
