The writer is so ignorant. Those Hausa names are the norminal names for figures. Hamsin is 50, Goma is 10 etc whether money or anything. Just as most people do not use slangs either Yoruba Hausa or Igbo. Its mostly in the South West especially Lagos that you hear these slangs. |

The first time I heard someone refer to a #500 note as Figo, I laughed so hard I popped a vein. Naija people will not kuku kill pesin. |

The name "shandy" came from a popular soft drink in the 70s and 80s called "Green Shandy." 20 Naira used to be called green shandy due to its green colour but later shortened to "shandy." |

I think the N20 note being called "shandy" is because of its green colour and that is from a particular old soft drink called "green shandy" |

Warri simply calls #50 Sky due to its color |

Proudlyngwa:N20 naira has started bearing shandy ever b4 Pasuma or Lepa shandy came into limelight. Ask any of your senior ones who is an adult in Lagos around late 70s and early 80s, the soft drink bottle is like small stout but its green both bottle and liquid content. The name comes from the color and not the amount, besides do you know the value of N20 naira back then? You could buy crates of that drink with N20 naira. |

AJOBI77: Shile kan is not one Naira. One Naira was equivalent to "Shile mewa" while "Shile kan" was just "ten kobo". |
Re: Amusing Names Nigerians Give Naira Notes by AJOBI77(m): 6:21pm On Feb 25, 2018 |
Ilaje44:you are right. But that shile kan is the street boys term for a thousand naira. Most especially guys that sell second hand phones |
