A man from Nigeria recently made headlines after discovering an astonishing amount of currency hidden in a bale of second-hand clothes he purchased.
What he plans to do with this unexpected windfall is even more surprising—he intends to use it to construct a refinery.
The intriguing story unfolded on the popular social media platform TikTok, where the man shared a video showcasing his remarkable find. He revealed a currency note from an unnamed country, astonishingly valued at a whopping 100 trillion (100,000,000,000,000).
In his post, he excitedly captioned the video, “I stumbled upon this money in one of the ‘okirika’ outfits I bought. Does anyone know how much this is worth in naira? My goal is to build a refinery like Dangote’s!” His ambitious aspirations have certainly captured the attention of many.
As the post gained traction, users quickly flocked to the comments section to share their reactions, opinions, and even a touch of humor.

Here are some of the notable comments:
Prince Oscar Okeke, who had experience with Zimbabwean currency, expressed, “If I tell you how much that money is really worth, you’ll be shocked—mamamia!”
Saidawuridi joked, “That could finance three refineries even better than Dangote’s!”
Abbey Chris humorously shared, “I converted this money yesterday, and I swear it could build like 20 refineries, and there would still be change left—but that’s just a dream, right?”
Officialmoni247 added, “Thank goodness you’re not going to challenge Dangote in the refinery business!”
Bigname weighed in with, “1 Zimbabwe dollar is equivalent to 114 naira 💯. Do the math!”
Ken Joe236 jokingly remarked, “With that amount, you could buy a plate of food and maybe two fufu. 😂 But really, it could buy you 2 Dangote refineries, a boat, two jets, and a mansion in Kirikiri!”
Mazi Uchenna quipped, “You could use that money to run for the senate in the 2027 elections! At least the INEC chairman would still be around.”
Abe Sunday Pascal pointed out, “That currency has no value, just like a Nigerian one-thousand naira note.”
Josh humorously claimed, “A refinery is too small. With that amount, you could buy Africa as a whole! If you combined the worth of all African countries, it wouldn’t add up to that money.”
Muhammed Kursi calculated, “With the current exchange rate in Nigeria, that amount is only worth about 24,700 naira.”
The discovery has sparked an engaging conversation online, with people weighing in from various angles—some critiquing the practicality of the currency’s worth, while others plugged into the humor of the situation.
