Money spraying

Money spraying is a cultural practice in Nigeria where guests at social events, such as weddings, birthday parties, and other celebrations, throw naira notes at celebrants as a gesture of appreciation, support, and celebration. The practice, sometimes colloquially referred to as "making it rain", is deeply rooted in Nigerian traditions, particularly among the Yoruba people, and has spread across ethnic groups throughout the country.

Despite its cultural significance, money spraying remains controversial due to legal restrictions under the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act of 2007, which classifies the practice as currency abuse.
