Nigerian Naira

https://d1cztgz77skyl3.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/all-notes-360x214.jpg
The Central Bank of Nigeria is the only authorized issuer of the Naira. On different denominations of the Nigerian Naira, the pictures of heroes of the Nigerian country are inscribed. The 50 naira note most especially denotes unity in diversity where different major tribes are seen in it.

Furthermore, we all know that every country in the world also have their own legal tender which symbolizes their currency. For instance, USA uses Dollar, Benin republic uses Franc, Ghana uses Cedis and Nigeria uses Naira. The naira is Nigeria’s official symbol of legal tender since 1973 so where ever you see the Naira, one should know that it’s for Nigeria.

You forgot to add
Corruption
Embezzlement
Low self esteem
Wicked leaders
Myopic Citizens
Kidnapping
Fulani militia
Terrorism
Militancy
Cultism
Hoe-low-show-ism
Nairaland miscreants
Agberoism
Police drunken master in snake’s shadow
Arm robbery
G Niggas and G+
419
Husband murderers
Bastard children givers
Etc
These are also Nigerian symbols. Don’t you think so?

I pity Those poor horses that have been standing since 1960 and our leaders can't maintain them.... B4 they collapse from Nigerian stress.

PrincessB1:

The National Flower of Nigeria: Costus Spectabilis. The national flower of the country is Costus Spectabili, in other words, it is Yellow Trumpet. The flower is painted on the Coat of Arms but for an inexplicable reason, the flowers are painted red.

All of these na wetin we learn for primary school those days. Now many adults nor know am because of the bastardize educational system.

Then, you created a stupid and thread for only cheap attention then.
Now take your likes and shares to the banks boi.

PrincessB1:
State or Country?

He is correct, Nigeria can be called a state, a sovereign nation

"I pledge to Nigeria my kpomkwem
25 Kobo ruler and pencil
To serve Nigeria is not by force
To defend is Stupidity
And appolo abiala my country
So help me God"

That was how we derided and mocked the national anthem in the 80's and 90's as kids in the East...

Forget story! Patriotism is long lost!
