- Many TikToker who reacted to the video of the lady wondered why people are in the habit of hoarding money
A young Nigerian lady, @tomiebaby, has gone online to share a video showing a bank customer depositing huge bags of old naira notes in the bank.

Truck with old naira notes
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a video circulating on social showed a broken down truck loaded with what is perceived to be N1,000 notes from one of the states in the north.
According to people in the video, the broken-down truck is the third they had seen loaded with Nigerian currencies looking for where to offload them.
The video shows what seems to be naira notes, especially N1,000 denominations badly defaced, which those in the video claimed may have been kept in a place where they became damaged.
