YESpParticipant:I only bought small sadly. I'll sell around 70-75k. I expect the price to go lower than 60k towards year end |
SaintUlot:You never told us that alt that have historically outperform btc durably? 😅😂 |
seunmsg:It would be a black swan event and would take several years for crypto to recover if it drops to 20k. |
Only two people people viewing this thread. People have literally left crypto. Would crypto ever come back? |
megawealth01:Yes. Wait for the low bottom signal around may or October. Spx will likely top and get a 10-20% correction. |
megawealth01:Btc will never drop to 20k. Start bidding around 55-60k |
SaintUlot:Please chart your favourite altcoins against btc and see how it fares. Lets see if it outperform btc or btc out perform it. Thank you |
armadeo:Because anything other than btc is a bad investment in crypto. |
iLegendd:Btc is more matured asset class now. I doubt we'll ever have 50% drop again. The time to make big money in crypto was pee 2017. I doubt if we'll ever have 7x in btc in 4 years again. |

seanwilliam:You were opposing me few months back that altcoins are good investment. Happy to see that all of us have now seen that altcoins are just casino. My altcoin portfolio is down 80%. Never again! |
Whichever way one looks at it, no Nigerian president since Yar’Adua has shown as much commitment and concern for tertiary education as President Tinubu. Beyond the 40% salary increase, it is particularly reassuring to hear that professors will now retire with 100% of their salaries as pension. That is a significant step in restoring dignity to the academic profession. Equally important is the launch of NELFUND, a bold intervention that tackles one of the biggest barriers to tertiary education—access. By easing the financial burden on students and families, NELFUND strengthens the foundation of our universities from the bottom up. While some argue that these measures are still insufficient when weighed against rising inflation, it is worth noting that if the two previous administrations had shown similar commitment, the sector would be in a far better position today. In my view, President Tinubu has genuinely tried. He could easily have followed the path of his predecessors and done nothing—but he chose otherwise. I pray that he continues to consolidate on this positive trajectory. May Allah assist the President in salvaging our tertiary institutions, which remain the bedrock of national development. Ameen. Thank you, Maigari |
franknero1:It is true. It is risky buying stock without any historical price action. The early investors would definitely cash out if the price pumped. |
erico2k2:May be I didn't check the review well. It was my first time |

LordAdam16:Lord what do you think about this post by davidhundeyin? Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you: 1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency. 2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads. 3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower. 4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes. 5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?) 6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have. 7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria" and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria" to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.9. No great power gives a single Bleep about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end! - David Hundeyin |

Tinubu’s tax tsar Taiwo Oyedele lied, Section 61 of new law allows FIRS to seize Nigerians’ money, properties without court order Abiodun Sanusi • December 26, 2025 Taiwo Oyedele and Tax act Taiwo Oyedele and Tax act Taiwo Oyedele, chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, has been caught in a web of lies concerning the new tax law that empowers the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to seize funds, confiscate and sell assets and properties belonging to Nigerians whom the FIRS finds to have run afoul of tax laws. Mr Oyedele, who spoke on Arise TV on the morning of Wednesday, 24 December, denied the content of Sections 61 and 43 of the controversial tax law recently passed by the National Assembly and assented to by President Bola Tinubu. Checks by Peoples Gazette show that the tax tsar misled the public on national television, falsely claiming that the FIRS must secure a court order before enforcing the seizure of citizens’ assets and funds held in bank accounts if they’re found wanting. “It has to go through stages of the court to finally establish that that tax is indeed due and payable, before you can now say ‘I gave you notice to pay within 30 days, but you refused, I’ll write to banks, (sic) do you have this guy’s account, and does he have money inside? So, that process and that provision is in the current law,” Mr Oyedele claimed. Mr Oyedele’s statement contradicts the provisions of Section 61, which explicitly grants the FIRS the power to seize and sell citizens’ assets without first obtaining a court order. According to Section 61, which centres on the power to distrain, the law states: “Where an assessment has become final and conclusive and a demand notice has been served on a person or company, or on the person or company in whose name that person is chargeable and the payment of the tax is not made within the time specified by the demand notice, the relevant tax authority may in the prescribed form, for the purpose of enforcing payment of the tax due – (1) (a) distrain that person or corporate body by their goods, chattels, bonds or other securities; or (b) distrain any land, premises, place or any asset in respect of which that person or corporate body is the owner, and recover the amount of tax due by sale of anything so distrained. “(2) The authority to distrain under this section shall be in the form contained in the Third Schedule to this Act and such authority shall be sufficient warrant and authority to levy by distrain the amount of any tax due.” Section 61(3) further empowers duly authorised FIRS officers, with police assistance if required, to break open properties in the daytime and seize assets: “For the purpose of levying any distrain under this section, any officer duly authorised by the relevant tax authority may execute any warrant of distrain, and if necessary, break open any building or place in the daytime for the purpose of levying such distrain, and the relevant tax authority may call for police assistance and the police shall, when so required, aid and assist in the execution of any warrant of distrain and in levying the distrain.” The law further states in Section 61(4) that assets may be kept for 14 days and thereafter sold without a High Court order: “Assets distrained by the Service under this section may, at the cost of that person or corporate body, be kept for 14 days and at the end of that time, if the amount due in respect of the tax, cost and charges incidental to the distrain are not paid, they may, subject to subsection (7), be sold without an order of the High Court.” Sections 61(5–7) outline how proceeds from such sales are to be applied, including refunds of any balance within 90 days. Although the law notes in Section 61(8–9) that immovable property (such as houses) can only be sold with a High Court order, the statute still permits seizure without court approval and grants owners only 14 days to file objections or appeals. “(9) In exercise of the powers of distrain conferred by this section, the person to whom the authority is granted under subsection (3) may distrain all assets, goods, chattels and effects belonging to the debtor wherever the same may be found,” “(10) This provision shall also apply in the case of recovery relating to tax evasion and proceeds of crime where the offender cannot be found.” During the broadcast, Arise TV presenter Rufai Oseni challenged Mr Oyedele on the matter. Responding, the tax tsar said: “Before they get to that point, it is a very elaborate process. You will not go through that process to collect N1 million tax, it is not worthwhile; which means the people they’re trying to create the fear in their hearts are not going to ever have to worry about this provision.” The Gazette reviewed the law and found that the FIRS will commence the confiscation and sale of assets belonging to Nigerians deemed culpable of breaching tax laws from January 2026. Section 43, titled “Assessments to be final and conclusive,” provides the statutory basis for FIRS recovery of unpaid taxes once an assessment is determined as final. The section states in part: “Where the full amount of tax in respect of any final and conclusive assessment is not paid within the period prescribed in this Act, the provisions relating to the recovery of tax and to any penalty under Sections 65 and 67 of this Act shall apply to the collection and recovery.” Messrs Tinubu and Oyedele have faced sustained criticism from citizens and analysts, who argue that the new tax law was passed and assented to as a tool to extract revenue from Nigerians, many of whom live below the poverty line. Mr Oyedele did not respond to enquiries from The Gazette seeking clarification on Sections 61 and 43 after screenshots were shared with him via WhatsApp on Wednesday. As of press time, he had yet to issue a response. https://gazettengr.com/tinubus-tax-tsar-taiwo-oyedele-lied-section-61-of-new-law-allows-firs-to-seize-nigerians-money-properties-without-court-order/ |

and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants.
