Kuwait dinnar is the highest currency in world. Is it not spend by human being I always wonder why naira always lacking behind. Oyinbo and their modern ways of slavery. Whitemen will be saying devalue naira for us to come and invest in your country, our leaders are not helping matter at all. |

Educative and much better than the graphic photos, the carnal and the "reaction" articles. But the OP could have also included the Naira's history to tailor it to the local audience. This is why you lose 10%... I grade this 90% ...for making us use Google for the Naira's origin |

weedtheweeds:It is not the name of the country that matters but the attitudes of the people of that country, if you like change Nigeria to any name as long as the attitudes of the people remain the same the profiling and stigma will stii be there. A poisonous substance by any name still remain poisonous even if you decide to call it honey. 4 Likes |

That awkward feeling when you know how all other world currency got their name but you don't know how your country's own came about. History is dead in Nigeria, all we remember is APC/PDP and BBnaija 2 Likes 1 Share |

The name "Naira" was a word to humiliate the side that lost in the civil war. This is the meaning "NIGERIAN ARMY IS READY AGAIN" |

weedtheweeds: Is Nigeria the only country that spilt blood (which btw bloodshed was two ways) Germany under Hitler spilt more blood than Nigeria ever did in the civil war yet they are Europe most developed economy United States lost more people than Nigeria during it's own civil war, yet they are the most developed country on earth . Did they change their name? Did they change their currency? The answer is obvious. 1 Like 1 Share |
