Bank paid man in coins

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian man with the handle @_nahzikid_ shared a video of the N2 coins he claimed his bank paid him.

Frustrated about the situation, the man packed some of the coins in his hands as he wondered how he would spend them.

In the video, he asked another person to bring more coins as they were poured on the floor. Responding to people who said he was lying, the young man made another video to show he was not the only one who got the coins.
