A Yoruba group agitating for secession of the tribe from Nigeria has introduced the currency to be spent in the proposed Oduduwa Republic.
The secessionists posted a picture of the currency on its official twitter page, @OduduwaRepublic, on Sunday.
The legal tender is called “FADAKA”, which means silver in English.
“Oduduwa National Currency shall be called ‘FADAKA’ Meaning Silver .. or short as just ‘FAD’ Here is a 20 Fadaka Sample Banknote,” the secessionist group tweeted.
Ekohotblog had reported how Yoruba Historian, Banji Akintoye and activist, Sunday Igboho, last Wednesday, declared the breakaway of Yoruba nation from Nigeria state.
Akintoye and Igboho, among other Yoruba leaders, said that the South West was no longer under Nigeria.
They also said all the South West borders closed by the Nigerian government will be reopened.
They had insisted that this was not a time to talk about restructuring, resource control or a new constitution but rather the Yoruba to secede from Nigeria.
They called on people of the region to unite for the independence of the Yoruba nation.
