Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Whitemoney, is the latest celebrity to speak against the ongoing new currency drama in the country.

According to Whitemoney, there has been a scarcity of new notes across banks and ATM muster points in the country.

The BBNaija Shine Ya Eyes winner, however, said he was taken aback when he got to the event and saw money hawkers with huge bundles of the new notes that were up for sale.

Whitemoney wondered how the individuals were able to get their hands on the notes when banks in the country have not been able to.

To his utter dismay, Whitemoney said the hawkers sold N700k for as high as N1 million and pocketed N300k in profit.

He went on to lash out at fellow citizens, adding that Nigerians are the cause of their own problems.
