Nigeria has since recognised the dangers of naira abuse but that is not the focus of this piece. The government has made rules and laws to check it and provided enlightenment campaigns to educate people on the ill. The Central Bank of Nigeria gave naira abuse as one of the reasons why it is pushing for digital-based financial transactions. Naira abuse, like its ancestor – the social epidemic of corruption, has remained stubborn and refused to go away.
Through engaging anecdotes and research, Gladwell illustrates how understanding these factors can help individuals and organisations create or manipulate trends and epidemics. The book emphasises the importance of paying attention to small details and understanding the social dynamics behind spreading ideas and behaviours. The fundamental concepts of the book in relation to naira abuse are twofold.
The first common ground is that both of these prosecuted celebrities enjoy considerable social media influence, whether for positive or negative reasons, depending on personal value systems.

The Central Bank of Nigeria , Police and the EFCC should study different models of changing public behaviour and draw up a model and strategy to deal with the issue of naira abuse, especially since it has become embedded in some cultures.
