In the now-viral footage, the lady is seen carefully using a pair of scissors to snip the notes, specifically cutting out the "1000" inscription. She then proceeds to attach the cut-out pieces to her nails as part of her nail art.

  

The video quickly gained traction, sparking outrage among Nigerians who condemned her actions. Many social media users have called for her arrest, urging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to intervene, as the mutilation of the national currency is a punishable offense under Nigerian law.

  

According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act, any form of naira abuse, including defacing, spraying, or mutilation, is illegal and can result in fines or imprisonment. Despite this, incidents of naira abuse have continued to surface online, drawing criticism from concerned citizens.

  

  

The incident has stirred reactions from both netizens and public commentators, with some arguing that such behavior reflects a lack of financial awareness, while others believe that stricter enforcement of currency protection laws is needed.

  

Many Nigerians took to the comment section to express their views on the issue:
