Some Nigerians have been using #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira in an effort to encourage people to buy products made in the country and help protect the local currency, the naira.
The falling oil price, Nigeria's main foreign exchange earner, has put pressure on the currency.
The government is keeping the official naira rate at around 200 to the US dollar, but the black market rate is closer to 300.
Below are some of the tweets:
13-Buy Innoson cars. I buy them as official cars for my staff. It supports jobs in Nigeria#BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira
#BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira. This suit was sown in Nigeria. Tell me, why must I wear an italian suit, when I have this?
