In an unusual move to circumvent the strict laws surrounding the abuse of the Nigerian naira, a Nigerian couple has made headlines by printing personalized currency notes for their wedding celebration.
The couple, whose identities have not been disclosed, opted to print their pictures on N500 notes, creating a customized version of the naira to be used during the traditional money-spraying ritual.
This innovative approach was reportedly taken to avoid sanctions from the federal government, which has been cracking down on the abuse of the naira.
Spraying money at events like weddings is a common practice in Nigeria, but it has often led to the mishandling and defacement of the national currency.
By creating their own currency for the occasion, the couple aimed to participate in the beloved tradition without violating any laws.
The couple’s decision has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many applauding their creativity, while others question the legality and implications of such a move.
However, it remains unclear whether their actions would attract any legal consequences, as the use of personalized currency could still fall into a gray area under Nigerian law.
