A new mobile application in Nigeria is introducing a digital alternative to the traditional practice of spraying money at parties and celebrations, allowing users to spray money virtually through their smartphones.
The innovation enables guests at events such as weddings, birthdays, and cultural celebrations to connect directly to a celebrant’s account on the platform and send money instantly while participating in the familiar spraying tradition.
Developers of the platform say the app is designed to modernize a popular cultural practice while reducing the physical handling and scattering of cash at events. With the digital system, guests can select an amount on their phones and transfer it in real time to the celebrant, replicating the celebratory act of spraying money.
The concept is gaining attention as Nigeria continues to adopt more digital payment solutions across social and commercial activities. Observers say the technology could appeal particularly to younger users and diaspora guests who want to participate in celebrations remotely.
The development also comes amid increasing discussions about regulating the public spraying of cash at events, as financial authorities have previously warned that mishandling of the national currency violates existing laws governing the use of the naira.
Analysts believe digital alternatives such as the new app could provide a convenient and compliant way for Nigerians to maintain cultural traditions while embracing modern financial technology.
