A Nigerian lady on Twitter took to her twitter TL to shared photo of currency used between 1907 to 1973.

According to @reetah_kay;
"An old one pound note used in Nigeria during the year 1907 to 1973, was found in an offering basket at her church last Sunday. She however did not state what church or the location of the church."

Another user who also has the currency also shared photos of the one he has.

It is not impossible...

The story of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus (Arabic: اصحاب الکھف‎, translit. aṣḥāb al kahf, lit. 'people of the cave') could be repeating itself here.

Further investigations should be made by the Chruch to determine if the 'giver' have not fallen into deep sleep between this period.

That was because in 1960, we exported a variety of products , agricultural and mineral to guaranteed markets in the UK and Europe....in addition to oil.

The collapse of these guaranteed markets , plus the massive rise in oil prices in the 1970's made us switch to a mono-economy based on oil, and at the same time made us even more import dependent.

This means that today, we don't earn enough forex...because we 1) don't manufacture oil in large enough quantities to do so 2) we do not have a strong and actively exporting manufacturing sector. 3) Agriculture , even if it 'came back' does not earn as much as it used to.4) Corruption, encouraged by most Nigerians....our leaders are guilty...but leaders used to be followers once upon a time...
