Very educating write up. meanwhile, I am still wondering what qualifies General Muritala portrait to appear in Nigeria currency. Herbat Merculy, Awolowo, Azikiwe, and others whose portrait appear on different Nigerian currency are known as founding fathers of Nigeria. |

selemempe:you need to be angry!!! the east is not developed at all, building mansions in villages is not development, after enugu in enugu state, the other towns are dead end, you dont develop by developing one and leaving the rest, when i was still active in enugu state well, like 4 years ago, in awgu local government area there is no single atm, you have to go to enugu to do most things which i found extremely irritating. you might not find beautiful mansions in southwest towns but to compare social infrastructure in place between south west towns and the eastern counterpart is like comparing ezenwa to buffon 2 Likes |

bro ask OP oo the origin of naira from the article doesnt make any conventional sense to make a headline. I would have though that it is an acronym . he just collapse Nigeria and get naira. Ok guys lets start collapsing different country we will get their currency. Maybe the word "Countries" was collapsed to get "Currency" so if i collapse Abia i will get "Ai' as abia currency Fesomu: |

Naira was introduced during the Civil War to render biafrans useless.The biafrans were not able to make any transaction with the Nigerian pound they have in large amount. This was the initiative of Chief Obafemi Awolowo 1 Like |
