Darlington Okoye aka Speed Darlington, a Nigerian musician based in the United States, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the naira’s depreciating value.
During an Instagram live session, he went on a rant and displayed bundles of naira notes that he had just withdrawn. The rapper claimed that the total value of the stack did not exceed $100.
Speed Darlington said the naira is a disappointing currency because it has no value whatsoever. He went on to tear an N100 note among the bundles and stepped on it.
The internet sensation also picked up some bundles of N200 notes and he was very furious because it amounts to $56, which is what he uses to pay phone bills in the United States when converted to dollars.
He noted how people might see him with heaps of cash and think he would be a good victim to rob without knowing that the money he’s with is not up to the equivalent of 50 dollars.
