A viral video of an excited Nigerian man flaunting a big bundle of Naira has sparked conversations online about the Nigerian economy and currency. In the video, the man holds just a few Ghanaian Cedis notes and shows off the huge bundle of N₁,₀₀₀ Nigerian notes he got in exchange for 800 Ghanaian Cedis.
Excitedly, he said in Pidgin, “This one now na house I wan go build for Nigeria.”
The man also expressed concern about the state of the Nigerian economy, while showing his joy at how just a few Ghanaian Cedis could give him such a huge stack of N1,000 notes.
The video has sparked a lot of debate, with many sharing differing opinions on the exchange. Some pointed out that the Ghanaian government recently carried out a redenomination of their currency, which has made things more expensive there. Others expressed concern over how much the Nigerian Naira has lost its value.
