Smh. So you really think it was naira notes they were spraying at Yoruba parties holding over a century ago? O ga o.

Yorubas also have a culture of putting newborn on river..... Some de off twins... Should they continue

DaddyJapan:


Though patently untrue, this one has become part of folklore now - much like the account of the Nigerian who invented the internet.

Because it is culture doesn't mean it can't be wrong

We once had a culture where Twins were killed
...until Mary Slessor came onboard.

Nigeriakan:


There's a Yorùbá phrase for money spraying, and it's 'owó níná'. Go listen to classic Yorùbá musicians such as Ayinla Omowura, Barrister, KSA, and Chief Obey, you'd hear lyrics about how so-and-so 'ná mi lówó' (sprayed me money) while singing the praise of the so-and-so.


This money spraying culture must have been borrowed from the Yorùbá practice of touching an Òrìṣà (deity) with money on the forehead during consultation.

DaddyJapan:


How do you spray cowrie shells?

Lovenorth:

And that music is better than our constitution?

Nigeriakan:


Better than the constitution, YES, WAY BETTER. But it does not supercede the constitution. That's why anyone who sprays money, whether it's a Bobrisky or an Nkechi, should be arrested and prosecuted.

I just gave you the earlier submission to clear your doubt coz you felt there's no such cultural practice among the Yorùbá.

Here's a report on Yoruba weddings in Lagos as far back as over a century ago: Lagos High Society Weddings Of The 1920s

https://www.nairaland.com/7791204/lagos-high-society-weddings-1920s

This was a time some people in present day South East, according to authoritative books written by foreigners and some of our Nationalists of Igbo extraction, were still walking unclad and not exposed to having societal parties where Yoruba spray money.

You can get a copy of this book and read. We appreciate our history when we learn about how our forebears lived.

Reno is right, spraying of money at social and private events is part of Yorubaland culture till date. Others learnt it from the Yoruba and it's not a bad thing in my opinion because it is a way to appreciate the celebrant but it's now to be done in a manner that you don't mishandle the naira. Even the EFCC lawyer who prosecuted Bobrisky, a Yoruba, and the Judge who convicted him are Yoruba!

Shameless Reno, always bringing tribe into everything.

Does it look to you that it is cowries they are spraying at this kind of parties: Lagos High Society Weddings Of The 1920s

This is over a century ago o. This is why some of you are at odds when some Yoruba tell you that they are not from villages because their ancestral homelands have been a city for over a century.

The West African Currency Board was responsible for issuing currency notes in Nigeria from 1912 to 1959. Prior to the establishment of the West African Currency Board, Nigeria had used various forms of money including cowries and manilas.

Who owns the airport?

GIP was one of the first private fund specialists to hire a powerful chief risk officer, and was an early advocate of operational improvements to boost the value of infrastructure assets. Its first investment, a 2006 stake in London City airport, sold a decade later for four times the original purchase.

At London Gatwick airport, GIP introduced oversized luggage trays and other innovations that cut security screening times by more than half, freeing passengers to spend more in restaurants and shops where GIP received a concession.

“The thing about infrastructure businesses is a lot of them are monopolies and monopolies tend not to focus on customer service,” Ogunlesi said. “There are things you can do to generate improvements in operational efficiency and customer service and, obviously, revenues.”

GIP’s sprawling portfolio also includes Sydney and Edinburgh airports, the port of Melbourne, critical US pipelines, CyrusOne data centres and Italo high-speed rail. Its companies have combined annual revenues of $75bn and 115,000 employees.

Franzinni:
Reno ... Stop it .

Were we spraying cowries in the olden days? Or how did it become culture?

MrGerald:
The report is talking about Abakiliki but you're generalizing it to be all Igbo province? When you talk about Independence, Don't forget Ziks father was the Secretary of the government of Lord lugard. Even till today Abakiliki people has a way of life, that's by choice, it doesn't mean all Igbo provinces go nude

Reno is right about this. Spraying of money 💰 is cultural. This not only about the Yorubas, other tribes do the same including the Igbos.

Buhari4dullard:
This Reno is seeking attention from Tinubu, nothing else. All of a sudden he is now wearing Yoruba traditional cloths.All of a sudden defending Tinubu. Hunger bad oh!
