The Cash Crunch Situation

Cashmerlot 1923

In a time of hustles & bustles for the rare specie- CASH, the hope of the average citizen rests in the hands of a young lady, her name- NEW NOTE! 

She was the fairest of all maidens, far preferred than her counterparts- Transfers, POS, and ATMs. It was said that the sight of her made even the hardest of hearts go warm with fondness and a joy so rare that only true love could compare. The issue? She was kept in a tower far above the reach of the common man, and only the firstborn hires of the royal family had access to her. 

The common people of Cashmerlot depended solely on their literary prowess and ingenuity for successful transactions. They said;

Cash is like a rare species in the wild, seen only a few times a year and never in large quantities. Trying to find it in your wallet is like going on a safari, but instead of a majestic elephant, you find lint and a single kobo. The only time you seem to have enough is when you don't need it, and when you do, it's like the money fairy went on a permanent vacation. But hey, at least we have card swipes and digital transactions (when they decide to work). What's the fun in having actual money anyways?

Cash is becoming scarcer than a polite politician these days. You have a better chance of finding a unicorn in your backyard than finding a ₦ 1000 note in your wallet. And don't even get me started on finding loose change. That's like searching for a needle in a haystack, but with less success. The irony is that the more cashless society becomes, the more we need actual cash. I mean, what do you do when the power goes out, the POS doesn't work, and the ATM is down? It's like the age-old saying: 'Cash is king, but good luck finding it.

So, the good people of Cashmerlot depended on themselves and their secret power to use the one thing that just the common people had to change their fortunes!  The ancient power of... "THE VOTE" Legend has it that the good witch, the protector of the poor and helpless people, had empowered the common people of old with a power so special that it was peculiar to just them. She did this to maintain the balance between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It was said that with just one vote, they had the power to change the world... or at least their local community. The question now was, would they use this power collectively and with the purest of hearts for the good of themselves & future generations, or they remain blind, voting for the greed that put Cashmerlot in the current state that it is? 

So go ahead, grab your cape (or mask and hand sanitizer), and head to the polling booth to cast your vote, dear citizens of Cashmerlot. It's a chance to be a real-life hero and make a difference! And who knows, you might make your wishes come true.

Just remember, your vote is like a precious gem. It's valuable, and you only get one. So use it wisely, and make sure to shine it in the right direction. And if you're feeling overwhelmed by the choices on the ballot, just think of it like a giant game of "Choose Your Own Adventure." You might not know exactly where it will take you, but with a little research and careful consideration, you're sure to make a great choice. So don't wait; exercise your right to vote and let your voice be heard!
