55 days agoNaija gist you can’t ignore 😳💸 Money spraying at weddings and parties is now officially a CRIME people are already being jailed for it!
Culture vs Law: Do you think spraying money should remain a tradition or be banned completely? Drop your thoughts
For decades, Nigerians have celebrated weddings, birthdays, and naming ceremonies by spraying money on celebrants a cultural practice rooted in Yoruba tradition and widely seen as a symbol of joy, generosity, and status.
But today, this beloved custom is under serious fire. Under the Central Bank of Nigeria Act 2007, spraying, hawking, or mutilating naira notes is officially a crime. Violators risk a ₦50,000 fine or six months in prison.
Recently, the crackdown has intensified. The EFCC has charged celebrities like Bobrisky, Cubana Chief Priest, and even Nollywood stars for spraying money at public events. Officials argue the practice damages the naira, promotes abuse of currency, and undermines Nigeria’s image.
Still, the debate rages on. Many Nigerians insist spraying money is a cultural expression that should be protected, not punished. Others agree with the government that national currency must be respected.
As of now, the EFCC says it has over 200 active cases and has already secured 24 convictions related to currency abuse. Whether tradition or law wins in the long run, one thing is certain: money spraying will never look the same again in Nigeria.
