A social critic and journalist, Gimba Kakanda, says it is untrue that money can be got through rituals.
According to him, “No sorcery on this planet can mint your country’s banknotes.”
Kakanda stated this in a Facebook post on Saturday evening.
His comment came in the wake of the burial ceremony of the mother of Obi Cubana, in Oba, Anambra State, where guests sprayed money with reckless abandon.
Photos and videos of the event circulating on social media got many querying the sources of wealth of some of the guests, with some suggesting money rituals.
