Valentine’s Day: Federal Government Bans Money Bouquet by dre11(op): 9:14pm On Feb 13

by Oyindamola Olawuyi

The Federal Government has announced a ban on Naira notes being used for decorative purposes ahead of the 2026 Valentine’s Day on February 14.

The directive targets practices such as creating money bouquets, cash towers, and cakes adorned with banknotes.

Authorities said such displays violate Nigeria’s currency laws and will no longer be permitted. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) described the trend as an abuse of the national currency, stressing that folding, spraying, or shaping banknotes for gifts or events amounts to defacement of legal tender.

“The Naira is a symbol of our nation and must be treated with respect,” the bank said. “Using money as party decorations diminishes its dignity and public value.”

The government has warned event organisers, vendors, and individuals that participating in such displays could lead to arrest and prosecution under existing laws.

Security agencies and regulatory authorities have been instructed to monitor parties, weddings, and street celebrations where cash sprays and money-themed designs are common.

Officials urged Nigerians to embrace alternative Valentine’s gifts such as flowers, greeting cards, or packaged items, emphasising that love and celebration should never come at the expense of the nation’s currency.

This trend is totally useless. Nigerians and overpricing love are like 5 and 6. Other countries give money alongside thoughtful gifts, but the moment it landed in Nigeria, we turned money bouquets into a compulsory standard. We just love unnecessary packaging in this country. SMH 🤦‍♂️

No,

A character like this is not petty.

If we disrespect our naira, it is the same mentality we will use to dismantle railways, burn factories, and do other things to systems put in place to “tackle inflation and insecurity.”
