With the spotlight on the abuse of the Nigerian currency by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), partygoers and musicians have devised innovative methods to maintain celebratory traditions while respecting legal boundaries.
Some Nigerians have resorted to using money boxes as it provide an alternative to traditional money spraying, allowing guests to deposit cash in honour of the occasion or performers.
Others use bank transfers, money vouchers which is usually equivalent to the amount they intend to spray and transfer the cash value to designated accounts, often featuring the image of the event host or celebrant.
