Ignorant people will always look to ban anything that they do not understand. Meanwhile their daily actions are far more dangerous than those things which they proscribe.

If the mobile phone was invented today these same idiots would be calling for its ban. Same for the motor car, the aeroplane and probably even electricity.

Why people no dey mind their business

Stupid girl was telling her business around a stranger.

She should learn to keep her business to herself.

CORONAVIRUS IS REAL GUYS.
DAMN SO REAL.
And this is coming from the Frontline Workers.
Many have died right in front of us.
15 people this year alone, though the youngest was 69 years old but we have seen many young people that have this deadly virus also.


Below are the Real Super Heroes.


You are a very wise member.
One of the few wise member we have here.
You have said the whole truth of the matter.
Truth is bitter, but some of us will keep saying it.
Keep it up.
Stay blessed.

Baba God, we thank you for our lives and the lives of our family o.
Na only God.

God's blessings and protection on we all and all Nurses, Doctors and all Frontline workers out there.[/quote]Just because they have passports doesn't make them 'educated'.

And just because somebody is 'educated' does not make them considerate or reasonable.

Is 'oil' the only word that these people understand?

Why do they think that oil will save them from their stupidity?

Most fraudsters are males.

All paternity fraud is committed by females and it is much more devastating than financial fraud.

Marital fraud - where women pretend to love a man for money is also rife.

And there are other women who scam men online and in real life, pretending to care about that man in order to help themselves to their assets.

So no, most fraudsters are not male, women are also the past and the present - they are a part of the reason why the world is the way that it is.

Racoon:
See how stupid people in government trod down on the poor masses.

They do it because the people allow them to. Rather than curse these crooks when they see them the average citizen will genuflect and spout all manner of hyperbolic praise upon these cretins when they come into contact.

How do they want to wreck Nigerians?

Don't be deceived by all these hype, many Nigerians don't know about crypto

Most people in general don't.

I find it funny that this is where they place their priorities and not the constant outflowing of dollars for stupid religious travel.

thebosstrevor1:
I mostly use bitcoin, ethereum, ripple but ripple was the cheapest and the fastest of all.

I have other coins which are cheap to send but most people dont use them for transactions, i just use those coins for short trading
I

xrp is cheap but it has no real use, there have been days when the network has gone down and nobody has noticed.

It's cheap to send because there are so many xrp in existence, it's 100% pre-mined and centralized. There's no reason for it be inefficient at all.

thebosstrevor1:
Xmr is not cheap to send
Ltc is not cheap.

I know ripple is very cheap and fast to send
Bch is expensive
Doge is cheap

The problem is how many merchants and exchanges accept all these coins, if you want to trade.

I noticed most collect btc and ethereum, but you must have btc to trade on exchanges

Er, you are very wrong. Terrible intel.

XMR tx fees are pennies, at most. Oftentimes less.
https://www.monero.how/monero-transaction-fees

Bitcoin Cash Avg. Transaction Fee historical chart
Average transaction fee, USD | 0.000005 BCH

Litecoin Avg. Transaction Fee historical chart
Average transaction fee, USD | 0.00022 LTC ($0.033 USD)

Doge is currently the most expensive of those to send - the tx fee is 2 doge which works at at 0.16 USD.

Also, xrp is a centralized database and should not be considered in the same conversation.

thebosstrevor1:
Even the writer of this article criticizing government policies is clueless.

You mean people shouuld open a PayPal account that they can't operate from Nigeria.

People should go to the unregulated p2p crypto market where you can be easily scammed.

You cannot buy crypto with any Nigerian visa or debit card and you can’t withdraw crypto to any bank says the writer and then he wants you to open a paypal account

Now, Deposit in naira to buy crypto have been stopped by most exchanges ( binance and luno) now, this will affect everyone in crypto, another method will be found that will benefit those who have a trusted buyer living outside Nigeria.

The method can be, find a reliable Nigerian living abroad, deposit equivalent money in the person Nigerian account and then the person helps you to buy the crypto you want and then send them to your wallet, this method is good but it is crazy when people understand that sending btc and ethereum from one wallet to another is very expensive that will make you lose.

People don't understand how very volatile crypto is. The volatility can make you panic and make you lose your cash very fast.

Imagine you buy ethereum or btc worth 100k from luno, when that 100k worth of ethereum shows on your ethereum wallet, it can be 98k, in 2 weeks, that ethereum can be worth 110k, in 4 days time, can be worth 99k..this volatile coin can play with your emotions and make you panic sell.

What about network fee.

If i send 10k ethereum to my friend's ethereum account, sometimes, sending fees can be 6k.

The crypto world sometimes when you look at it clearly, works like an organized ponzi scheme.

At the end of the day, i prefer stocks to the crypto scam even though the returns can be huge, if you are an early buyer

You gave the example of ethereum but ethereum is one of the worst examples of cryptocurrency out there - it's blockchain is horribly bloated, inefficient and open to manipulation by a central body, the very antithesis of the dream as stated in the bitcoin whitepaper.

There are plenty of better options where you will not spend $30 to send $300. Even bitcoin tx fees are nowhere near that high, xmr, ltc, doge, bch are all cheap and easy to send.


P.S.
I was under the impression that Nigerians could open paypal accounts.

b3llo:
The ban on cryptocurrency is targeted at fraudsters based here. the cybercrimes and atrocities committed by these unfortunate set of people have affected hard working and sincere individuals.

The day I fear cryptocurrency was the day some kidnappers requested for ransom through "Bitcoin"

Did you fear naira when those kidnappers asked for naira?

Abeg, the spare part go dey Gudu or Apo market?

Na chinko part.

E dey.

Knowing the forever useless FGN they will ban this one should we ever get to a point where enough people can generate sufficient power for their own vehicles.

This man is playing dumb.

A 10 year-old can tell you what is really going on.

Will they ensure that the people are allowed to vote freely?

This is what happens when you stuff your apex bank with people from the most unproductive part of the country as 'political favors'.

Una well done.

I await the day when the CBN makes a rational announcement.

MadeINchenzen2:
When u say white u mean colour, when I say white I mean civilisation, knowledge, deep thinking, good judgement, impeccable reasoning... unlike Africans who uses less than 1% of their brains. Same reason why they languish in perpetual darkness.

Now u see how lowly u use ur African brain to understand simple lines of literary expression.


SMH

Its embarrassing sharing Nairaland with the likes of you.

White has nothing to do with those things. 'White' is a simplified racial classification and most 'whites' don't have any of those traits, they live day-to-day trying to survive with scarcely any understanding of European history, much like you do.

You call others simpletons but you really have an appalling grasp of language or any knowledge of the world. I genuinely feel bad for you.

MadeINchenzen2:
senseless assumptions... my life is what I call it... u live and die for nothing with your shambolic mentality... foolish slave !!!

No child with an African parent will be declared 'white'. Please stop drinking during the day.

MadeINchenzen2:
I pity those wey don marry, born for this country...


I must japa... marry white... born white... die there. Nigeria is worse than hell

You can't "born white" unless you are white.

You are emblematic of the problem with this country, spineless and stupid beyond belief.

DollarBuddy:
Good! vote a youthful President, vote a youthful president, Nigerians no go gree.

They allowed useless tribal and religious sentiments becloud their sense of reasoning.

These people won't awaken until Buhari himself slaps them from their slumber.

Of all the things that they are worried about.

You can tell that all these cretins want is for the people to shut up, live a miserable existence, suffer all manner of injustice and humiliation, waste their spare time (and money) in church or the mosque and then die a painful yet preventable death.

na2016:

People like you are the problem of Nigeria and Akwa Ibom. Ask me why and I will give you 100 reasons why I said so. IDIOT!!

People who call for blind obedience and respect for 'elders' and religious figures typically don't have a firm grasp of logic.

PARACLETOS:
Ükáñ nyin esebo ke inuen afudõke ke enyonñ, ikpad ase'wôd isõñ.
I am not in support of government's treatment of the young man, because his fundamental human rights has been infringed upon. My concern rather, is his indiscriminate insult showered on elders of the state, both clergymen and senior citizens in the name of criticism. The point is he doesn't even stay in the country, so he did himself more harm than good. If you want to speak up against some policies of government or attitudes of your elders, our African tradition and Christian religion teaches that you do that with all amount of respect, regard and decorum. There is what is known as "constructive criticism". He failed in that angle.

Having said that, I'm now calling for his immediate release from detention ASAP!

Respectfully, this government does not listen to 'constructive criticism', hence why this man was so aggressive in his comments. That still does not justify his detainment without charge.

Also, this subservience to a useless elder class that has done nothing but use the youth as chattel is the root cause for most of Africa's man made problems. Africans have been playing nice with their elders for centuries, to what end? Do the elders return the respect? Do these elders even have any respect for their own environment? The answer appears to be no.

Why do they always wait until it becomes a big problem? Why do they refuse to enforce the rules on a consistent basis.

OP says to remember his family and friends in prayers when we all know it was from that same group of people that the kidnappers came to know about the victim and his movements.

Fear those who make constant reference to the Bible, they are tyrants in the same vein as their deity.

Udom Emmanuel is such a person.

I find it odd that this is how they treat somebody for facebook comments but the evil pastor whose church collapsed (and killed people) after it was built illegally was handled with kid gloves.

Arrrrrrrh

You can get it at that rate in the North, no doubt.

One advantage of staying in the North is the availability of food stuffs and it's low price.

You can cook a soup of five hundred and it can last for 3-4 days in a roll. North is bless with food but thier problem is most of them here don't know how to cook. That is why you see malnutrition in thier kids..

I love North no doubt, but insecurity have change my choice.

Is it that they cannot cook or that they have far too many children?
