The Day Nigeria’s Money Died — The Hidden Colonial Scam 💔

They told you Britain brought progress — but they never told you it started by banning Nigeria’s own money.

For centuries, Nigerians traded with cowrie shells and manillas — a stable, sophisticated economy connecting empires and regions.
Then, the British made them illegal. Overnight, every trader, farmer, and market woman was forced to use British Pounds — the only currency accepted for tax, trade, or survival.

This wasn’t modernization. It was economic control disguised as reform.
An entire nation’s independence, stolen through money.

🎥 Discover the untold truth of how Nigeria’s economy was hijacked — and how the ripple effects still shape today’s wealth gap.
