Historically, Palestinian Christians were part if the Palestinian Liberation Movement. To travel to Jerusalem for religious purposes, they need to carry a permit issued by the Israeli authorities. So next time you think, the Israeli's aparthied system was designed only for the Muslims, remember that millions of your brothers and sisters are also living under the oppression of the Israel..

Around 1900 Christians made up about 11% of what is historically called Palestine. That number is now down to less than 2%, thanks to Israeli occupation and illegal settlements, that have forced millions of Palestinian Christians out of their homes.

This is the sad reality that so many ignorant Christians in Africa don't yet realise. By the time, there are no more Christian left in Palestine, you all will realize how you have been fooled to defend Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.

Christianity's third oldest church, Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church, has been destroyed by Israel in Gaza following the siege of the Palestine. The church was 1,616 year's old.

The rate at which some of you Nigerian Christians are quick to identify with anything Israel is so unbelievable. Do you know your history at all? Can you handle the truth that the Jews hate everything you stand for? What about knowing that there are more Muslims in Israel than Christians? Very stupid and ignorant set of people !/

Supremos:
Do you have human conscience at all?. There are civilian populace in Gaza.

You are just mad. When Israel molests and attacks Palestinians, does the media show you ?

The man in the viral IG video below has been arrested by Dubai authorities over what was described as an arrogant display of wealth.

UAE prosecutors have ordered the arrest of a man who filmed an “arrogant” social media video inside a luxury car showroom in the country.

According to a report by state-run news agency WAM, the video insults and ridicules Emirati society and incites harmful public opinion of citizens.

In the offending video an Asian man in Emirati dress is seen attempting to buy a $545,000 car while been flanked by people carrying large sums of money.The Federal Prosecution for Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes has ordered the detention of a resident of Asian nationality pending investigations after being accused of abusing the internet in posting exciting propaganda that stirs up the public opinion and harms the public interest.

He was also charged with publishing a content that inconsistent with the media content standards and insults the Emirati society.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation at the UAE Attorney General Office monitored a social media video clip in which the defendant was seen wearing Emirati dress inside a luxury car showroom and followed by two persons carrying what appears to be large sums of money.

The video showed the man talking with the owner of the showroom and “arrogantly” asking to buy a car valued at more than AED2m ($545,000).

He was also shown distributing financial packages to the showroom employees in a way that reveals imprudence and lack of appreciation of the value of money.

The video promotes a wrong and offensive mental image of Emirati citizens and ridicules them, and then incites and provokes public opinion, which harms the public interest.

The Public Prosecution ordered the summoning of the owner of the car showroom in which the aforementioned video clip was filmed.

The Public Prosecution urged the social media users in the UAE to observe the legal and ethical regulations in the media content they publish and to consider societal characteristics and embedded values of the UAE society that call for moral commitment in all aspects of behaviour, so as to avoid falling under the force of the law.

This is an explosive article on Bitcoin scam in Nigeria. A must read!

It is safe to say that Bitcoin and crime do not originally belong in the same sentence. But it was, at the onset, fated to become a willing tool in the hands of criminals.

Since the infamous Mt. Gox era, Bitcoin, popularly known as ‘internet money’, has been invariably used by anonymous criminals across the world to commit a series of heinous crimes ranging from money laundering to kidnapping.

Nigeria, Africa’s largest Bitcoin market, was destined to become a peculiar crime scene as Bitcoin’s influence spread across the world. This not only accounted for the rapid growth of Bitcoin in Africa itself but also revealed how a $760 million crypto empire consequently emerged from the interplay between Nigeria’s internet fraud syndicate known locally as ‘Yahoo boys’, and Bitcoin, their newly found obsession.


As it grew in popularity, Bitcoin's enduring promise of absolute anonymity was but a recipe for crypto-related scams in which Nigeria’s internet fraudsters actively participated. The modus operandi was fairly simple. It involved laundering or stashing away ‘dirty money’ and using the Bitcoin-fiat payment gateway offered by various deposit money banks(DMBs) to cash out the illegal proceeds.

Although the peculiar nature of the crypto-related crimes that are committed using Bitcoin is monetary, it is extremely difficult to find a piece of incontrovertible evidence linking a ring of Nigerian Bitcoin fraudsters to either the Silk Road scandal or the Mt Got era, when Bitcoin's criminal history is mostly believed to have begun.

However, as it happened in the Silk Road era that saw the genesis of how Bitcoin is leveraged by criminals, the country's internet fraudsters quickly gained a mastery of how to take advantage of Bitcoin in their criminal dealings, and by the time virtually everyone knew what Bitcoin symbolises, the rest became history. This experience with a new crime tool created the obsession that was required to popularise Bitcoin and build a large network of a million user base within the country and beyond.

The Early Days Of Bitcoin Trading In Nigeria
The growing popularity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies naturally caught the fascination of many young people in Nigeria. But a sizable minority of the youth population that was already given to all shades of internet fraud brought an interesting twist to it by becoming the country’s biggest crypto traders overnight. These new Bitcoin traders, mostly young men with basic computer skills, gravitated toward Bitcoin to build an internet wall for their illegal proceeds, and in Bitcoin they found a safe lodgement for it.

Even though they were keenly aware of the risks holding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies presents, they exuded the stamina to endure even the worst crypto winter as long as the law was not trying to catch up with them.

At its height, the Nigerian crypto market accumulated a massive Bitcoin fortune outside the monetary province of the government, so much so the Federal Inland Revenue Service, the country’s chief tax collector, could not devise a means to either tax or seize the illegal Bitcoins were openly traded on the various crypto exchanges.

The volumes of daily Bank-assisted Bitcoin transactions reached a record $760 million in 2021, cumulatively producing a new industry where, although unregulated, an economic activity with a potential revenue stream was taking place, and in this chaos that characterized it, Nigerian banks in partnership with crypto wallet providers were raking in millions of Naira in crypto transactions until the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) issued a circular banning crypto servicing within the Nigerian banking sector on the 5th of February,2021.

The Path To Nigeria’s $760 Million Bitcoin Market

There is no official record of the day Nigeria reached its first one million Bitcoin users, but the rise of Bitcoin trading was unprecedented. Many individuals and businesses bought Bitcoin, perhaps, to augment their income, and what’s more, the interest in it began to wax stronger by the day. Moreover, Bitcoin received scarce attention in local news until the story of Aisha Ardo, a Kidnapped Nigerian citizen who was released after her father paid $15,000 in Bitcoin, made headlines.

By the time Bitcoin was old enough to be a tea party gist in the Nigerian business circle, a lot of people were already buying, trading, and selling it online. As more and more people began to discover its essence and its profitability, Bitcoin moved on with the tainted reputation that Nigeria’s internet fraudsters had already given to it.

The number of Bitcoin owners in the country grew rapidly and its Bitcoin market experienced a boom that caught the world’s attention. But it took an FBI investigation to uncover the truth behind the country’s Bitcoin success. In the investigation, it was revealed that between $200- $300 million dollars was illegally obtained on a weekly basis from the US and other Western countries by Nigeria’s fraud syndicate, the Yahoo boys. The investigation further revealed that most of the stolen funds came from the Covid-19 stimulus package, a large part of which the syndicate fraudulently obtained.

With a vast Bitcoin user base, Nigeria eventually became a key Bitcoin country in the world, sharing the same stage with countries such as the US, India, China, etc. And, if there is any lesson that becoming a thriving Bitcoin market has taught Nigeria, it is that the road to Bitcoin’s adoption has never been smooth anywhere in the world due to the propensity of criminals to hijack Bitcoin for selfish gains.

Nigeria’s own share of Bitcoin’s dirty history produced a vast market that earned it a spot in the top ten ranking of countries with the highest number of Bitcoin traders and it has consistently made the list as the number one Bitcoin destination in the whole of Africa, leaving countries like Ghana, Kenya and South Africa far behind.

Conclusion

Bitcoin is not the villain. It is, on the contrary, a technology that allows the exchange of value between two people without an intermediary. Its dark side is present in the way criminals across the world have continued to use it to launder illegal proceeds. Nigeria‘s internet fraudsters known as Yahoo boys developed an obsession with it as Bitcoin and crypto trading became a way to keep stolen funds outside the banks to avoid detection.

The unintended outcome of the long-range issue of crypto fraud involving Yahoo boys is the rapid growth of Nigeria’s crypto economy which, as of today is highly exposed to massive crypto risks but which has a huge potential to grow even bigger in a favourable regulatory landscape where consumers’ protection is king.

Why are we black africans like this.
Always entertainment, dance instead of critical talk to protect our interest and future.

That's why all over the world there is no black African community doing good. I use community because even in parts of the US with black people its violence and poverty. When you try to reason with them they claim you're a sellout.

We are like-minded. It's so sad. I think we were born at the wrong time, in the wrong place ,and in the wrong colour.

Most of the faeches-throwing chimps who don't even have a passport think it's sane to put the blame on an mere YouTube for a truth that has been long uncovered by the Home Office. But come to think of it. Are you all insinuating that you have to travel abroad to become successful?

This is madness !!!

Shut up. Co-thief. Which hardship?

I don't have to live in the UK to make it in life. I have a steady stream of incomes as a web3 consultant,a crypto journalist and a researcher.

Share election updates from your units and let's enjoy the smooth ride to victory!

IronGalaxy:
LOL. I shut your mouth with common sense and logic, and now you're insulting me. These are the exact hallmarks of a person with a low IQ

Just didn't realize that I was done with you already. If that was your logic, I'm glad I know what is not logic. Fooool!!!

IronGalaxy:
Open defecation is a Nigerian thing, learn to separate your country with the overall blackness.

Shut the Bleep up . You people are full of shit.

A fool can also aspire to wisdom when no one is listening. But when the orb of day arrives, the difference is clear.Oprn defecation is mostly a black man thing. Don't use India to blur the line.

IronGalaxy:
You are the stupid one here, this thread is about "open defecation problem in Nigeria" isn't so? Right!...you then proceed to denounce the whole black race because of a problem that's not specific to black people hence I brought up India.

The bottom line...
1.Nigeria _ open defecation problem.
2. India _ open defecation problem

Whether the latter is a "tech giant" is irrelevant to my argument.

IronGalaxy:
Problem is you talk before you think....Nigeria, is not " black people" and not all black countries are beset with this problem, you are! ..India, is also confronted with the same people and they aren't a black country.

Are you fucking stupid or what? Why are you putting Nigeria and India in the same sentence? Even though the latter has its own open defecation problem, Nigeria pales in comparison to it. India is a world power, Nigeria is a shit hole lagging behind in all the things that characterise a decent life. India is home to leading tech companies, while Nigeria is still learning how to manufacture a tooth pick. Nigeria is the most populous black nation on earth and that means only thing: a useless contraption inhabited by 200 million useless, docile and hopeless people governed by clueless, thieving and moronic leaders.

Please shut up . Where is the lie ?

IronGalaxy:
Don't make this about black people please

A racist fool just said somewhere that black people are incapable of living in a functional society. That statement hurts but it's the truth. C'mon only animals are known for open defecation.
