Remember that last Friday, Idris Okuneye, a.k.a. Bobrisky, the infamous transvestite, was sentenced to six months in prison without the possibility of a fine for misusing Naira.
Additionally, N10 million in bail was given to well-known bartender Pascal Okechukwu, also referred to as Cubana Chief Priest, after he entered a plea of "not guilty" to a charge of misusing Naira.
In an interview with Punch, Pasuma discussed the recent action taken by the EFCC and stated that the nation's currency needed to esteem one another.
"I want to believe that there is a difference between mutilating naira notes and spraying money on a musician," he said. During festivities, we Africans have an ingrained custom of dousing musicians with money. In the meantime, mistreating or damaging currency involves trampling on it and flinging it around, which shortens its life.
I have never been a supporter of naira abuse, period. When people sling money around on my stage, it bothers me. It is an insult to both the artist and the actual cash.
When someone wants to show their appreciation for my work, they can place money in the box I have, as you can see if you see my stage presentations. Furthermore, that was even prior to the start of this naira abuse campaign. In my opinion, treating the artist and Naira in that way is appropriate and courteous.
"Therefore, as a law-abiding citizen that I am, the war against naira spraying has not hampered my performances and earnings.”
Speaking as well, Osupa emphasized that his team made more money when spectators were required to place money in a box rather than spray it, stating that the recent development had no effect on his business.
"People no longer spray money at my shows," he said. They simply toss cash into a box that is situated on stage. Thus, I wouldn't say it has negatively impacted me. We continue to make money in the same manner as previously. The only distinction is that individuals don't Once more, splatter the cash.
"Most individuals just use money spraying as a way to brag. Many of them only want to get even with certain people; they don't truly want to spray that money. Additionally, sometimes people who spray money don't actually spend much; instead, they merely create the impression that they are. But we really make more money when they really put money in the box. There are those who transfer money between banks.
Ayuba said he would not be impacted by the prohibition on Naira spraying because he usually used the same tactic of asking spectators to place cash in the box while he performed.
"Some people's handling of the currency is the issue with money spraying." by trampling on it, tossing it to the masses, and handling it carelessly. That is absurd, and I disagree with it. I have a box where people can deposit money to spray me while I perform, so I won't be impacted by the government's new enforcement push.
The government does not advocate against spending money on artists; rather, it says that people should not misuse our currency. The government is just advising people to respect our money since it is an essential component of who we are as a country, he stated.
