Nigeria was colonized by the British and her currency is the British pounds Sterling, so I have been wondering if we are British colony we are suppose to be using pounds as legal tender like other countries of the world. Nigeria as self acclaimed giant of Africa should have a better currency not the weak (#)Naira. Recently Mr President Mohammed Buhari is seriously complain about the current state of the naira devaluation which is not helping the country's economy even the common man on the street. To my own opinion I suggests we go back to our pounds Sterling for the Naira to gain balance over the US dollar because 351 naira to dollar is unacceptable compared to 1985 when it was 1.3 to one dollar.[color=#006600][/color]

Your topical question did not reflect in your discussion. Well Papa Awo introduced the Naira as I heard. May be you can suggest to PMB to change our currency to USD as British Pounds is a no go area for now.

the question is who introduced the Naira? I would have guessed right because during Gowon Yakubu - Biafran civil war, we were told a change of currency cost Biafran Govt 1969. about 50 million Pounds. On a quick check. wiki says naira was introduced in 1973, still Yak Gowon was the head of state.
