Currency Abuse: After EFCC Invite, Iyabo Ojo Changes Tactics In Tanzania: “Na Smart Move Be Dis”

• A viral clip shows Iyabo Ojo, Chioma Goodhair gently placing dollar bills in a box instead of spraying them, stirring debate
• Iyabo Ojo's subtle gesture is seen by many as a smart response following her run-in with authorities
• Fans hail the couple’s classy celebration, but question Nigeria’s restrictions on cash spraying

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and celebrity fashion mogul Chioma Goodhair turned heads at the grand finale of the JP25 wedding celebration in Tanzania — but not for their outfits this time.

A trending video from the exotic event showed the stylish duo approach the stage holding fresh dollar bills, but unlike what many were expecting, they didn’t fling the cash in the air.

Instead, the actress and Chioma calmly bent down and dropped the bills one after the other into a transparent box placed on the stage — a far cry from the lavish naira spraying witnessed during the Lagos leg of the celebration, which had caused major buzz.

The move didn’t go unnoticed.

Many social media users quickly linked it to Iyabo Ojo’s reported invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over Naira abuse during the Lagos ceremony.

The popular actress had come under fire days earlier for allegedly violating currency-handling laws by publicly spraying money.

This more reserved move in Tanzania has now been seen by many as a clever way to avoid further controversies, while still participating in the cultural money-gifting aspect of weddings.
