Nigerians fight tooth-and-nail to gain access into a bank to swap old notes (Video)

A video has surfaced online, showing Nigerians struggling to enter the banking halls to swap the old naira notes for new ones.

Recall that the Central Bank of Nigeria initially stood its ground on the initial date of expiration for the old notes causing there to be extreme tension and struggle to arrive at banks before the due date but it has now announced that the President approved a 10-day extension to encourage more Nigerians to quickly deposit the old notes.
