Currency is the purchasing power in every country, the value of goods and services are exchanged using money. And, every country has her own currency which distinguishes her from every other country, it's a national symbol of a country. Hence, it's important that the image on the currency notes are of significant importance.
The faces on The Nigeria Currency notes are faces of men of dignitaries and honour. These are men who had made meaningful impact to Nigeria, not just that, their impact is the Nigeria we have today. They lived a reputable life while on earth, were more concerned about the country than themselves.
I'm super happy that all the Nigerian Currency has been made before now, I really can't imagine the production of new currency notes having faces of our recent leaders, never!. I know not all are bad, some of them still have good heart. But it seems the bad ones are overshadowing the good ones.
Aside leaders and politicians, there are many individuals who are still doing good things regarding the country Nigeria. Celebrities, Artistes, Actors and Actresses, CEOs and Religious leader and lot more. I can't start mentioning names because they are plenty.

I chose the face I want on the Nigeria currency note based on proximity and experience. *And this person is My Dad. Don't forget I said based on proximity, I don't see a reason to choose someone who I don't know so well to be the face of on the currency note. I know it's not as if we are trying to select a leader here, regardless I would still choose my dad.
One thing I know my dad for the most is caring for others, especially when he's capable of helping. I have lost count on the number of times my dad and mom would cut a bunch of plantain from our back yard, divided it into 5 and sometimes 6 or 7 depending on the number of plantain on a bunch. They will share it to neighbours we don't have as much as we do. We barely have up to 10 plantain left every time they share. Many foodstuffs will get to our house but will be shared all in the name of "let's be good to others, they don't have anyone else to help them".
Another thing I know my dad for is trying to fight for a better life himself and others. My dad used to annoy us some years back because of how he send people money anytime he receives his salary. He always buy without negotiating the price when he buys from petty traders. I grew up to understand why he did all these.
Few times, I've seen him stand and fight for people's right in the public. I've serve in the house of God,church, he is God fearing too.
It became part of me too. I would help anyone as long as I have the capacity to help I only make sure I don't get hurt in the process of helping others
With the help of my mom, it was easier for my dad to do his good deeds. He might not be popular, but I would love to see the face of such a great man to represent my country Nigeria. I would love to write more about this my hero but let's stop here🤣 I'm sure that I am not the only one with good parents.
With these few points of mine I hope I have been able to convince you that My Dad is the right face on the Nigeria Currency😅😅
