Na wah oh! Naija pipo, how far? E be say Kenyan central bank don finally raise their voice give dem wey dey use money make decoration, especially as Valentine don near.
This kain cash bouquet trend wey don blow like generator, na wetin dey cause wahala for their naira notes. Dem dey roll, glue, and pin banknotes dey make flowers wey people dey gift during celebrations. But my people, CBK don yan say dat one no go work again! Dem dey talk say if you catch person wey dey do am, e fit face seven years for prison, if dem catch you well.
The bank report say as dem dey fold and roll those notes, e dey damage the money. E dey make our ATMs and cash-counting machines dey misbehave. Na so they go report say dem dey reject this kind money wey people don mishandle, and that one dey cost the banks extra cash to replace. Na wah for dis trend oh!
CBK also talk say dem no get problem with people wey wan gift cash, but make sure say dem no dey tear or change the notes. Dem go prefer make you carry fresh flowers instead. Naija pipo, wetin you think? No more money bouquet, wetin remain?
Some pipo don dey hail this warning for social media, saying e go save dem from peppered spending wey dey follow money bouquets. Some dey reason say fresh flowers go sweet pass, especially as Kenyans sabi grow flowers well well. Na dat one go soft the heart during Valentine!
So, as February 14 dey come sharper, make una sabi say cash bouquet no dey enter anymore for Kenya. Abeg, make we go back to traditional flowers jare! Make we no go put ourselves for trouble because of this money matter.
