If the naira is an accronym for never allow ibos to rise again,pls whats for the dollar,pounds,yen,and rand, let the man Awolowo rest in peace,forget about him and move on and stop blaming him for your woes.

greateros:

the Federal Republic of Nigeria switched from the pounds to NAIRA after the civil war.

I was made to understand that the name NAIRA was coined by Chief Obafemi Awolowo and it is an acronym for these words:

Never Allow Igbos Rise Again! shocked shocked shocked

I honestly wish to disagree with these acronym but i realized that i have no other translation or meaning to the word NAIRA! Its not from any Nigerian Language!

House, if anybody knows any official meaning of the word "Naira" or history of the word please enlighten us.

expecting your meaningful contribution.
if you believe this, you always believe queen Elizabeth is from Ijebu
