Is it a digital currency or a wallet?

What’s the value of 1 eNaira to USD?

Is it pegged to Naira?

Can I pay someone in Canada with eNaira?

Do oversea exchange houses accept eNaira?

Premiumwriter2:
you get it wrong.

I thought the same way too but once you see the drive behind the project, you will understand its purpose.

Not every fintech should be about Blockchain.

Apart from investing, how does Blockchain simplify transactions within the country?

Even countries with more knowledgeable people haven't fully adopted the technology for day to day transactions and you want Nigeria to start using it?

Let me tell you this, enaira makes transactions easier and that's the goal. It's as simple as dipping your hands in your pocket and giving paper money to a seller without using the paper, you still can't see the benefit in that?

Old school me trying so hard to wrap my head around this Enaira thingy. Is it like Bitcoin? Can I use it to make payment outside Nigeria?

CSTRR:
China ramping up Nuclear weapons and building more silos, swearing to unify Taiwan with the mainland whatever it takes.

Russia looking for any opportunity to expand its buffer zone against NATO.
They have sucked Belarus into their axis.
Russian Tu-120 Nuclear capable jets patrolling the Belarusian airspace like an annexation.

Ukraine is mostly next to be gubbled up the bear.

The United States pushing back against both powers with Military defence pacts both in south east Asia and Europe.

Any invasion by Russian or China will trigger those defence treaties and America has sworn to respond to them in the language they understand.

What can possibly go wrong?

Russia is not into any expansionist agenda. It’s the west that have not kept to the agreement not to expand to Eastern Europe with NATO and nuclear bomb. The Americans are now stationEd in Latvia and other Eastern European countries with their dual use patriot “anti missile” system capable of firing nuclear missile. The west launched Maidan Revolution in Ukraine to draw ever closer to Russia. They also launched a failed revolution in Belarus. The west is the problem not Russia.

What are the Americans doing in Black Sea with nuclear-armed ships? If Russia did the same thing in North America, the whole western media will go berserk; “ah! The Russians are coming!”

Personal advice: don’t watch too much CNN and the rest.... they are propaganda outlets

Naija147:
It took INEC more than 24 hours to declare a state election inconclusive even after making noise about electronic transmission of results. I pity Nigeria, APC always have a way of rigging elections and that should not be allowed in Anambra state.

As big as India you know the next prime minister the same day after election, you are not asked to lock yourself indoors because of election, there was an election in SA last week, there were no police on every junction, we went about our usual daily activities like nothing was happening.

God will not forgive this APC FG, everyone predicted the outcome of the election and it turned out so, where is the INDEPENDENT in INEC?

Is this what we should expect in 2023?

Kun ja ni bro. The problem for naija no be only election... na the people! Those contesting are all wealthy. They are fighting to get this governor post not because they want to improve the state of Anambra but to steal some more and have greater power to what end I don’t know.

This is because i developed reading culture,the book became my television,I can visualize the words in a book,my imagination grew.
That visualization helped me teleport myself to my future even when the reality then makes no sense.
Television is really a distraction but I will try and make it work positively for my family.

Interesting!

I got so attached to the radio (World Receiver SW,SW2). Then her majesty’s BBC despite their bias had programs ranging from science to drama to last the whole day. Also DW and CRI. The Japanese did have an English radio transmission many years back; not sure if it still on air.

Now TV is choke-full of mis/disinformation, and a clear attempt by who knows what to make the abnormal lifestyle the norm. And it has become so “in-your-face” these days; especially with the “rainbow” movement and the main stream media is trying to force it on everyone.

engrchykae:
we don't have,not because we can't afford television but because my dad is a conc deeper lifer,a pastor.
So we will peep from neighbors'window

On a curious note, do you think not having/watching TV at youth helped you avoid the corruptions that comes with it, and made you be a better man today?

Kaynnedy:
Good afternoon House.

Someone told my sister that there was a connection for a sales rep. Job in UAE, since she's yet to get a job after her NYSC, (you know how tough Nigeria is now. But it will require her to pay some money for her visa, flight ticket and other necessary documents, but my sister told her that she currently don't have money to process any international papers.

After much discussion this lady told my sister not to worry that all documentations including flight ticket will be paid for her but on a commission fee when she arrived her destination and upon resuming work in UAE, a percentage of her salary will be remitted to them until she pays up the debt incurred.

This was two months ago precisely August. Now fast forward to yesterday 3rd November 2021, I got a WhatsApp message from my sister telling me that she was being forced into prostitution upon arriving and not the sales job as was agreed.

I told her to find a way to come back to Nigeria since she has a return ticket that will expire in 4 days time valid till 8th November 2021.

Now the issue is:
1. Her Boss, as she called her earlier took her passport upon arrival in the pretense that she may misplace it or it may get stolen.

2. Her boss insisted on her paying all the debt incurred in processing her peppers which is 125% extra on what she spent in bringing her to Dubai, which amounts to N3.5 million Naira.

Please is there a way she can return back without her international passport since she went there legally and her return ticket is still valid.

Please we need help as during this altercation since yesterday, I cannot communicate with her as her Boss has seized her phone. It's now a matter of life and death.

Go to police, report issue to police and get a police report
Go to Nigerian embassy in Abudhabi.
Collect TC.
Go to Dubai immigration and present your TC
Confirm your Ticket
Leave before your ticket and visa expires

Why are we here?

What kind of help does this dude need?

Is media publicity the best option in this case?

Will a robust legal assistance help this dude?

What should be his best strategy?

Which is a better fight: commuted sentence or innocence?

How can we help?

Did the victim herself identity him? Please answer me.

This out to be the strongest testimony if am not mistaken.

my advice ... read what was said and understated what wasn’t.

Defendant said there was no “in-court identification” by the victim, that should tell you that the victim has identified the perpetrator at the station, and it’s on record.

DanseMacabre:
Omo tells you the intellectual capacity of most posters here. It's always best to watch from the sidelines.

Thank you for this observation.

TechSpot:
Did he?


If he did he should state it here.


Those who import/export such valuables with legitimate funds don't usually pay cash for such transactions cos they need proof of transaction.

Charge sheet on page 1

It does NOT include Fraud, Money laundering

TechSpot:
I've read from page 1 and now I'm here to share my opinion


Many posters kept asking why the 6 SUVs pirchase matter to the case but I think it does.

The purchase of 6 SUVs in a day with cash will instinctively tell that the accuse is part of a snuggling or money laundering ring cos he couldn't have come into America with the cash used in the purchase so he definitely is moving money by converting them to accessories (SUVs in this case) and this helps the prosecutors determine the criminal nature of this individual.

Due to this act they already profile him as fearless and boastful criminal that believes he can always get away with any criminal act cos how can someone visiting the US for the first time perfect tha act to smuggle a whole 6 SUVs worth of cash?

They would have also questioned his source of funds to these purchases and if he kept lying then they would doubt any argument he puts up against the rape allegation.

If the victim said a black guy raped her and there's a boastful criminal minded black guy there at time of rape then he automatically becomes a suspect and I'm sure he couldn't proof his innocence during trial and investigations.


Suspect profiling is really important and I expect Mr Bah to be able to give some back story about himself prior to landing in the US and while he was in the US till he got arrested but he has avoided answering any questions regarding what he does prior to his arrest while in Japan or in the US.

If you want us to help you let us know you beyond the Mr Bah that was convicted of rape. To me this is necessary.


Thanks

Do you know if he made cash declaration on arrival at the airport?

Did I hear somebody say, “wow!”

mysticwarrior:
I will gladly assist by going down on my knees to pray to God to vindicate him if he is innocent, God is greater than your American criminal justice system.

Look guys, this thread is NOT about 1stGenAmerican, it is about a “convicted man” seeking help.

The best help you can give to him is to get a good understanding of the FACTS of his case and then tailor your help to suit his situation.

I repeat, get to know the facts. Start with the 8 pages of court order posted here on page 1.

chatinent:
Justwise is right. But we are done with answering questions at the moment. What we need is some publicity...targeted from his country. The publicity will help foster seriousness on the case. It would be nice if it also reached fp.

Since he will not be answering, I'll be telling people asking to read from page one, and way they can support the case...of cos, by social media engagements...and that's the only way the legal parties involved can take his case seriously knowing the world is watching.

Thank you, justwise.

My advice:

Don’t be quick to start a public campaign.

Try to gain a firm understanding of the facts of this case; including the facts against the defendant. And if possible reach out to his current legal counsel.

A total of 1200+ pages of recorded transcripts and reports...I guess you have only seen a few pages of this case. You don’t have all facts of this case to mount a public campaign.

Remember the public will ask far more difficult questions.

signature2012:
I have been reading all the thread about this case,it just seem like am watching a Netflix series.

In as much American justice system is not perfect,can they just jail someone for a crime he never committed just like that?

Flew from Japan as a visitor to buy 6 SUVs.How were you able to bring in huge cash?Or did you have contacts in the US that gave you the money?
I read a comment from an anonymous on LIB that the Op was involve in a drug gang ish/yahoo yahoo.So they try to pin this case on him or whatever.The person said he knew him in Houston.

You also claimed you have spend almost $150k for Lawyers to defend you.How did you get this fund?There is more to this story that meets the eye.

For this case to get a solution,the open need to come clean properly.
From all his dealings in Japan to the people he knows in USA.
All these DNA,surveillance camera,tower triangulation etc won’t solve this case.
I believe there is more and more to this case.

I pray you get set free if you are truly innocent…

The case is about the rape of a minor, not fraud.

Please ask pertinent questions.

@ chatinent

Just curious.....

(1)
There are a few Africans living in that apartment complex. Since it’s obvious the rapist had a secured access to the complex.

The defendant lives in that complex.

The defendant has seen the cctv footage of the “African” in khaki.

I assume he knows the Africans in that complex

Can the defendant identify the black male in the cctv video accessing the complex?

(2)
Were they investigated too? DNA sampled?

@ chatinent

The defendant has provided a few evidence that supports his case on this forum: call logs and testimonies. He has, on many request, failed to state the facts that nailed him in this case; and these are the facts that the jury saw and pronounced the defendant guilty.

This call logs as an alibi is not weighty enough, and the prosecution could make a mince meat of this argument by making the defendant appear as a sociopath who got up from a rape incidence and called his doctor, considering his behavior in court.

Same was said of the defendant’s GPS alibi. Prosecutor presented to the court that the defendant was within a 7-mile radius of the incidence; therefore rubbishing that line of argument.

Powerhouse5050:
Maybe I was a fool for representing myself but the advantage was I got more closer and had deeper indept into the corruption in the judicial system of Douglas county

Powerhouse5050:
I am already sharing official transcript madame

Which other transcript are you talking about?

I just told you that I am in possession of the 1200 pages documents you were talking about...

I studied law madame and I work on my case as much as any attorney would....

I have no licence but I know my situation and what I'm expecting

.

Powerhouse5050:
No Sir

I had 7 days trial.....

I was locked in jail for almost 3 years ,just to intimidate and oppress me

.

According to the records provided here by chatinent, there a few striking facts to this case. And these facts raise a lot of questions.... I think this case was easy for the investigators to solve

-The rapist had access to the complex, as he was seen on CCTV punching access codes on the door knob

- this access door leads to the laundry in the complex

- the rapist arrived to the complex in a car with a distinct tag

- the rapist had an “African” accent.


————-
How many Africans lived in that complex?
Is it possible that the rapist accessed the laundry to change clothes?
Did the car the defendant (Powerhouse5050) used that night have a distinct tag?
Did the defendant admit to this crime ?
Did the victim identify the defendant as the rapist?

————
@ powerhouse5050
I am afraid your current argument over clothings won’t really sway the jury. The rapist had ample time to change clothing.

Ahhh....no way is my calling him "smallie" an attempt to demean or beat him further down. He'll no...

I feel for the brother and can relate to what he's going through.

I've been there, bro.

Apologies abeg

It’s all right bro, happy Sunday. Hope we can be nice to one another.

It’s clear you didn’t mean to demean Mr Bah. I guess it’s your writing style. So many innuendos . It’s quite obvious in your third post. It somewhat appears as if you are insinuating “karma” caught up with Mr.Bah.

From Mr. Bah postings, This case is about the rape of a minor, not Fraud.
Do you think the circumstantial evidence of fraud ( buying 6 cars with cash, calling many countries while in custody) played a role in his conviction?

Can you share a bit of your experience with the house?

daddytime:
Bro, you were and still very naive.

I put it to you that the police have their facts on this quote below and trust me, you'd look like a Dundee by the time the prove it to you by releasing a transcript and translation of your telephone conversations including all the nonsense codes you thought you were using lol.

You be smallie aswear...

Nothing beats living and earning right.

Any attempt or group of attempt(s) to circumvent or cut corners iife has always been met with disgrace and unending sorrows as this.

For some, it comes pretty early into their chosen lifestyle, while for some, it comes way much later after they must have long thought and believed they successfully had one over life.

If I give you part of my small gist even you go burst laugh for that jete wet you dey so...

" Here is what police had to say...... Since Mr Bah has been in custody he has made numerous phone the the calls to different countries, we believe Mr Bah belong to international criminal organisation"

Brother,

Is it necessary calling Mr Bah names like “smallee” ? This man is down and you are rubbing it in, why?

Let us all learn to nice to the others. I see a lot of unnecessary insults and comment here on Nairaland. It is really sad to read.

He is here seeking help. It’s nice to offer him help if you have the wherewithal, not insults to him.

Please!

Powerhouse5050:
About 1stGenAmerican : I dare him to produce the affidavit that he claimed I signed.
The police spread false information just like they said that my DNA was found on this lady but as you can see the truth from the documents I have shared.

2, My lawyer wanted to conduct in-court identification but the prosecuton objected to it and the judge ruled in favour of the prosecution.

Why was the lady not allowed to identify her attacker in court, it is a standard criminal practice in america but in my case it was ruled against?

3, No Sir
I arrived New York at end of April from Tokyo .....
I have only lived in the complex this crime happened for One month only, I saw this lady for the first time inside the court.

About the DNA we objected to it and now the issue is legally preserved for appellate court review.
My lawyer actually claimed the DNA was tampered with because it was unaccounted for, for 43days and the police officer evidence room supervisor testified they don't know about that because it was in possession of the detectives......they detective could not explain where it was and the GBI reported the seal on the evidence was not a proper seal.

I am in possession of all these facts and I will keep sharing them even though my response is slow, you all must understand that I am doing all this from inside prison.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you state the facts the jury relied upon to convict you? These forms the bases of your appeal.

Did they convict based on the “inconclusive” DNA result?

Did they convict based on CCTV video of the incident?

Did they convict based on the Victim’s testimony?

Did they convict based on your plead for mercy (Ref: 1stGenAmerican’s account)

In your presentation here and 1stGenAmerican ‘s I have not seen any conclusive fact of this case.

You have a record of the transcript with you, right?


PS: Truth is for God. Facts are for court! Please leave out the truth and give us only the facts.

1stGenAmerican:
I’m not going to repeat myself again. The DNA tests were never proven “wrong”. I posted the 8-9 page document denying the motion for a reason. That reason is in those 8-9 pages.

Last time: he is purposely manipulating you because you lack knowledge of the American justice system, court proceedings, and due process. He knows what the documents I posted state but bigger than that, he knows that you all don’t understand. I’m not going to sit here and re-try this case in the court of Nairaland while he slowly feeds you deception, crumb by crumb and you are falling for it.

And he stated that he spent $150k on legal fees which is a lie. He was represented by an indigent defender.

Hello 1stGenAmerican,

We certainly appreciate your efforts to bring out the facts of this case to Nairalanders.

I have read through the 8pages of court decision on the admissibility of “TrueAllele” system, and subsequently, it’s effectiveness a good DNA profiler.

TrueAllele system and it’s result was accepted by the trial judge.

Why was the defense attorney arguing against the admissibility of the DNA profile result when the inconclusive result was a “positive” to the defense team?

Powerhouse5050:
I was never arrested for this crime..... When the police stopped my SUV , they questioned me about it and the invited me to the police station to have more discussions about the 6 SUVs that I just bought and fully paid for,I drove to Douglas country police department by myself without any warrant.

After 20 minutes of interrogation at the police station about my SUV and the payment method....
The police officer changed the topic and said he will like to question me about a crime that happened in the complex I was living.

I replied him that he brought here to question me about my vehicles...but now he has changed it took a crime that happened....I have no idea about what you are taking about and because of that I don't want to say anything to you again.

After some persuation and I refused to talk , the detective then said he will have no option than to arrest me for the crime and he will charge me with rape...
This scenario happened just 2 hours after the crime happened.

2 hours for God sake

Was any of the Cars you bought used by the victim’s attacker to flee the crime scene?

1stGenAmerican:
Sure! I can answer that.

The documents I posted DOES say that 2 sets of DNA were found. One belonged TO THE VICTIM and the other belonged TO YOU.

I am sitting here watching you rile these people up because most don’t have the capacity to understand what those documents state.

ANYONE in the US with a JD that is reading WILL NOT HELP YOU because the more you talk, the more we can tell that you are purposely being deceptive. There is no way on Gods green earth that a jury will find someone guilty when the DNA presented in court belongs to someone not related to the crime. That may happen in Nigeria but NOT HERE.

The people still believing you and asking me questions prove that they are clueless about the US Justice System.The Nigerian consulate will not help you because you lied to them. The person attending your Pretrial hearings stopped going and started ignoring you when the evidence and YOUR statements showed them you were lying.

Cc justwise

Does the transcript powerhouse5050 presented here reflect a true proceeding during his trial?

I ask because in his transcript, the DNA profiling result was certain for the victim and inconclusive for the defendant.

What other evidence did jury use to convict the defendant apart from this inconclusive DNA profiling result?

Did the defendant confess to the crime during court proceedings?

@ Powerhouse5050

According the transcripts you have uploaded here, in which a DNA expert stated the the DNA profiling was inconclusive. Did your defense attorney argue before the trial judge that the DNA is not certain to be that of the defendant

Why did your attorney argue against the admissibility of the DNA profiling result using “trueallele ”, when this result never confirmed you as the individual that raped the victim?


According to 1stGenAmerican , he stated on this thread that you signed an affidavit affirming to be the person in cctv video chasing down the victim. Any truth to this allegation?

Did the victim ,in court, identify you as the attacker during cross examination?

Have you known this victim directly or indirectly prior to this rape incident? Any dealings ,directly or indirectly, with the victim?
