Security is a collective effort...

Nothing wrong with the trip... Especially since they were invited.

Sometimes Nigerians just like to criticize and complain for the sake of it!

Hedonisco:
If the government is trying to stop it, then you must be doing something right.

By the way, there's a relatively easier way for these exchanges to service their Nigerian users without p2p necessarily, using virtual $ cards. This would probably force the government to ban virtual $ cards, and then we will get to the next option., and they blanket ban again.... Until the already useless economy grinds to a halt.

I personally want Nigerians to suffer and eat from the trash if possible. The country irritates the hell out of me. You don't give an enabling environment for anything. You don't create jobs for teeming youths. You don't provide infrastructure or the basics that allow a healthy economy thrive. Yet if the enterprising and creative youths 'kwechiri' to create wealth for themselves, you get offended and seek all ways to block their progress. And yet the bastard masses would continue to vote for or support very useless idiots into power the name of tribal sentiments and whatnot.

Thety are all mad. And will reap the benefits of their madness.

The people who really need the advice know this. Who takes these fools seriously? This retarded reno bastard is merely an influencer, paid to spew whatever his paymaster wants.

Only a re ta rd with significant dollar holdings would rush to change it to the worthless toilet paper they call Naira because one Bayo Onanuwhatever or reno said so.

Maybe only broke freelancers and other entry level pretenders with their few hundred dollars scraping for survival will be confused and rush to exchange their $200 to survive today's hardship.

The real 'horders' with real dollar stash are happy because they would gladly mop up cheaper dollars now to add to the lump they are holding. Same as the few wise people who mop up bitcoin. Because the only direction it will go is up.

IbeOkehie:
There's never been a time it was more advantageous to hold naira over dollars on a long term basis.

This past weekend was very interesting because I got into some very deep, in person discussions about what Nigeria is all about. One of my interlocutors gave an elegant and convincing explanation of Nigeria as a FRAUD masquerading as a country. Somewhat complicated but easy to grasp.

Here's an intriguing post on this petrol issue -

I'm betting this guy will be right. APC is a party addicted to government control. Why is the Nigerian government so keen on restricting access and use of dollars by ordinary citizens?

Time will tell. I'm going with the long term trend, it rarely fails. Abandoning Nigeria and their damned currency is one of the smartest financial moves I made in my own life.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Because imported US crude oil is cheap. What we were importing was expensive REFINED petroleum products.

So the source of the crude is not that important insofar as it translates to cheaper home grown refined petroleum products and energy.

It’s a reversal of western practices in Africa, where they import our raw materials for cheap, then process and export for massive profits.

That’s exactly what Dangote is doing with US oil.

There are only 3 best times to buy a coin

1. When it's not listed on CEX yet and it's not more than 100 Million MC and sometimes, not even more than 5 million MC and it has passed all the rug pull test.

2. When it's in extreme oversold in bear market and you know it's a great coin with a reputable team or big name CEOs or company.

3. When bloodbath happens to every coin in a bull market and there are only 5 green coins, especially stable coins, that are in green in all the coins on Binance Hot, Gainers, and Newly Listed section.

Bonus:

The 4th time to buy is only for those doing day trading and are using TA and news to long or short — professionals only.

Apart from these 4 times, any other time is too risky, but it may be worth it in the end. Afterall, in Heaven or Hell, there is no crypto needed.

It's just money. It's meant to be spent. Not all your money will be spent wisely no matter how stingy, frugal, smart, intelligent or wise you are, so accept losses without feeling like a loser because without it, you'll never have an intriguing relatable story to tell others when you decide to write a book about success and not giving up.

This is 2024 .
The Nigerian army cannot be behaving like 1999.

The act of killing our soldiers is very bad and the hoodlums should be dealt with but not in this fashion of killing innocent peope in their houses.

What happened to tactical investigations to fish out the group that carried out the killings.

new2012:
Just like Peter Obi, The Telcos will ignore the idiot.

Nigeria and Airtel are traded companies in Nigeria, they have more Nigerian owners than Glo.
MTN is the highest tax payer in Nigeria.
Glo owes everybody, vendors, contractors, govt agencies, other Telcos etc the facts speaks for itself

checkout their CSR, Glo invest in celebrities, MTN invest on the masses, schools, markets and healthcare, they are even building roads I learnt - https://www.nairaland.com/7898136/mtn-nigeria-begins-reconstruction-enugu-onitsha

The Idiot have his first family in the US, his second family in the UK.. he dont practice what he preach.

People like Reno want to burn the country down, the security agencies, Tax agencies need hunt him down.

Subsea cables belonging to main Nigerian companies gets damaged, one wasn't and that was Glo. multiple Nigerian companies like Mainone are struggling to fix the cable issues, but this retard thinks it's time to use such disaster to demarket brands.

internet issues affected more than half the countries in Africa, SA and Lesotho were quick to switch as they had multiple alternatives.

Does this idiot even know that the destroyed cables belongs to Mainone a Nigerian company that supply connectivity to several African countries? should the countries also ditch Mainone since its not their country owned?

who has bewitched this fool? I hope Mainone, Bayobab and co are able to sort out the issue as quickly as possible.

This retard needs to be tamed and fast before he mislead the teenagers and unlearned that follows him

Cantonese:
No sense in this at all.

If MTN and Airtel are not Nigerian, what about 9mobile? How did he avoid 9mobile?

Blazetrailer:
....this is correct. All those story about floating the naira na wash. If you know, you know. As pointed out by a foreign financial magazine late last week, the govt of Nigeria devalued the currency intentionally...shikena. This would increase the value of their forex earnings in naira to fund the budget and the bloated govt. They have sold a dummy to the Nigerian populace, just like they did on subsidy. Unfortunately, we have dunderheads who still believe them, even the so called experts have failed to see this. Naira will hover between 1400 and 1600 for the foreseeable future. They know what thy are doing.

This is no propaganda as Bloomberg is not a propaganda platform like AriseTV and People’s Gazette.

Slowly, the reforms are paying off. It may appear little with minimal impact for now but in no time, the impact will be felt in all aspect of the economy. We just need to be patient and endure for a while, Mr. President will fix the economy.

Nigerians began opting for suicide since the past government… we've never had it this bad in this country.

The people had been damaged and broken...but one thing is, their return will be devastating.

Westerhoffe:
Suicide is never an option.
Listen to suicide survivors before you attempt it, because all of them will tell you their eyes and heads cleared up once they got to the point of no return.

Before you commit suicide, you'd have that urge and desperation to end it with courage. But believe me, once you take that poison, or jump off the edge of that height or into the river/sea, your mind reverses your decision instantly; and all you'd want is a way out of that painful situation.

So, don't follow or listen to that voice that pushes you to end it as you can't take it anymore; because it will vanish once you're in and fill you with regrets.

Hardship must have pushed her that far, but still, it is never an option…

She sacrificed herself…for her kids…

Sad…

Let me contribute my quota to this ...for me is MJ anyday anytime but am different how ...

1. I stick to only Nigeria...purely weed (marijuana)..only

2. I don't smoke I use it as edible I put it on my food and I am okay, relax , drink alot of water ( which is highly good)..to me it's purely nature's vegetable.

It has helped me stay from sickness and weakness ...I only combine with supplements....cod liver oil and multivitamins occasionally .

I don't do artificial or processed weed..like Canada, loud, AZ name it just fresh weed from nature.i also boil it and use it for tea adding milk before sleeping and I sleep like a baby .

But you must have this two things in abundance at home FOOD and WATER....if you don't I will advise you wait until you have the means to have them. Nobody knows I do weed in my compound and neighbourhood including friends ..as I am gentle as gentle and very private ..weed is life try eating it ...it stays in my system for so long ..i mean really long.

It helps me study deep cos I love reading and meditating and boost my happiness level and the way i love people and relate with them with high level of humanity.....so with this few points of mine I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that weed is life.

Modified,: Also as a football lover taking weed to watch football is heavenly ...oh my God you just can't imagine the feeling is out of this world and is unexplainable.

jedisco:


Hehe... most people now see they ultimately have a dog in the game. All said, Nigeria is a country with little or no social security net meaning there is no depth to which folks can't potentially fall to. People are now waking up to the reality of protecting their investment.


I expected CBN to come fighting at 1500. For a brief period, I worriedly thought they lost the battle but kudos to them, they threw almost the whole sink at it. It was at 1500 they devalued the official rate, changed rules for importers, started selling USD to banks, relicenced BDCs and started supplying them, settled many airline debts, heavily targeted crypt0 exchanges, further increased interest rates... Main thing untouched is dom accounts
Some of these have little effect but when used together, should count for something and I'm expecting relative stability at the level for sometime.

The big question now is whether underground work is being sone to ensure longterm stability. The biggest announcement in all this was the end of the reckless money printing of PMB called 'ways and means'. Excessive printing was the major driver of the devaluation we see today. If they stick to their guns and don't devise underhand means to print recklessly, then that should ultimately tame inflation and enable the radically different approach by BATs government to bring some rewards.

BrighterSyde:
It’s not the fg or inec that surprises me in this country. It is the fools who are suffering but still wholeheartedly believe that the govt is actively trying to better their lives. And these fools cut across all tribes and religion in this country. Yes!!! Yorubas, Ibos and, Hausas.

Buhari from the north ran this country aground.
Now Tinubu a man from the west who initially claimed there was nothing like subsidy came back to remove the subsidy and some fools on this forum believe the man knows what he is doing. That’s tantamount to a man lobbying for petroleum minister without knowing how many refineries we have in Nigeria.
Then there are those who believe that Obi would have been the messiah. He would have gotten there to either play game as usual and bow to the pressure of the forces that actually rule this country or those forces would have turned this country upside down till even the ibos will start cursing him as the Yorubas are doing now to Tinubu except the ones that don’t have much sense.

The common enemy is the political class but idiots here who are suffering will still come and insult each other. 7 more years!!!

A man on live tv was trying to expose the rot in nddc and your current senate president shouted ‘off your mic’ but there are idiots here who believe he is a saint.
We saw the leaked Memo on the amount given to the senate for deliberation and yet we still have idiots who believe the political class is working for their best interest. But if you ask them about this they will be silent on it. Their major concern was the moles in govt leaking this memos. Fools!!!

MrCamron:
Crypto is not betting/gambling !!
For a layman,you may relate crypto to buying of shares as an investment,be it for long term or for a short term.

Also,no goverment in the world can ban crypto ! And the reason for that is because it is decentralized!!

The only thing or part of what government could do is to make policies to tailor and restrict the centralized exchange websites/company's. For example,the USA government restricted binance in the way it does business with her citizens,and that's why binance had to create a version of binance known as www.binance.us just to sooth the financial policies of the USA financial Authority. I think that's the most the Nigeria Government can do.

You saying a government will take down crypto is basically you saying a government will shut down the internet !!

And truly,if internet cease to exist,then crypto will also cease to exist,because crypto is built on the backbone of blockhain technology,which also is built on the backbone of the internet,just like emails and the rest.

No one should panic to withdrawal his/her funds from any of the exchanges,just look out for announcements and update from them.

Like me,I have non-custodial wallets which I use, I use coinomi especially because they have relative good fees. But I can't do without custodian wallets/exchanges like binance because I trade (futures trading) derivatives market especially,though i trade Spot markets too. But the former is more lucrative and more risky,you just need to understand and apply risk management strategies at all time and also put your greed on check 24/7.

Just as in cash money,there are many use cases for crypto too,cash money is used by the same oil and gas gurus for fraud,the same goes to politicians and the likes,hence crypto is not left out. Or have we ever heard that crypto was transported via bullion van to any politician house? Or Abacha use crypto nii?
Emefiele nko?

I'm an early bitcoin adopter since 2013,that's when I created my first wallet with blockchain.info, I think they are now blockchain.com. Then,most of the P2P trades happended ONLY on bitcointalk forum,which is the first ever website created for the propagation of bitcoin.

In 2016,I made a profit of more than 300 million naira with an investment of 5 million naira on some shit coins via cryptopia.co.nz , a website that was latter hacked that same year. I still had some coins there when the hack occurred.


Everyday,I spent more than 15 hours analysing trade pairs on futures trading.

For those of us who still think crypto is majorly scam or for scamming or for yahoo yahoo to client thing,please you are wrong. You need to have an open mind as regards crypto.

Also,try to read stories and Google about young crypto billionaires. Also please read about how CZ the founder of binance sold his house and used the money realised to invest on crypto.Now the rest is history !!

Blessings !
