In light of the ongoing crackdown by the EFCC on those abusing the Nigerian currency, particularly notable personalities like Bobrisky and Cubana Chief Priest, men at events have devised a new method of 'spraying' money to avoid potential arrest.
The apprehension sparked by the EFCC's actions has led to a creative alteration in the customary practice of money tossing during celebratory occasions. Instead of the conventional practice of scattering money on the ground or directly onto the celebrant, attendees are now seen depositing cash into a large wooden box placed at the event.
This adaptation aims to circumvent legal repercussions while still upholding the tradition of gifting money at events. A video circulating on Twitter showcases the celebrant dancing beside the box as guests generously contribute bundles of notes into it.
Comments from netizens reflect a range of opinions on the matter:
@yemiFirstSon questioned the legality of the new approach, asking, "Is this one allowed?"
@game_boss360 commended the ingenuity of Igbo men, stating, "Igbo men will never carry last."
N6ofLife expressed appreciation for the adaptability of Nigerians, emphasizing the importance of finding creative ways to maintain cultural practices despite external pressures.
@victorEdeh deemed the new method a preferable option, while @udehemmanuel16 praised the resilience and resourcefulness of Nigerians in overcoming challenges.
Despite the EFCC's crackdown, the video serves as a testament to the community's determination to uphold traditions while navigating regulatory constraints.
