A Nigerian social media user has shared his shock with the rest of the world, after he received money that has been in bad condition and almost tattered, from a bank.

The man lamented the poor look of the notes and advised Nigerians to properly take care of money, so the money does not look as bad as the ones he is having.

Sharing the photos of the naira notes, he wrote: “I just received this from the bank, they’re so bad and most of them are torn but half bread is better that none.

“We really need to do better in the way we handle our currency in this country.”

A changeover to redesigned currency has plunged the country’s economy into crisis as there are not enough new banknotes in a country reliant on cash.
