E-Naira: Buhari Launches Nigerian Digital Currency by Sparofire(op): 2:19pm On Oct 25, 2021
KINGSPARO.COM reports that on 25th of October 2021, Buhari's led government launched Nigerian digital currency, E–Naira at the States House in Abuja.


The Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN had earlier announced that President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday (today) unveil the e-Naira.

KINGSPARO.COM recalls that the CBN had on September 30th suspended the launch of its digital currency, called e-Naira. The suspension of the launch was announced by CBN spokesman Osita Nwanisobi while speaking to newsmen in Abuja.

According to the CBN spokesperson, the rollout was suspended to allow other events slated for the country’s 61st independence anniversary to take place.

But in a statement on Saturday, Osita Nwanisobi stated that the e-Naira is now expected to be activated on Monday by the president. The CBN Director stated that the launching would take place at the States House, Abuja.

Coming to fulfillment, President Buhari has on Monday, declared the official use of the new era electronic version of the nation’s local paper currency.

Present at the unveiling were the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele, Naija News understands.

The E-Naira will hold equal value with the paper currency and will be issued by the CBN.

Nigerian authorities say the currency is not intended to replace cash but will function as a safe and efficient alternative means of payment.

The eNaira will be a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), issued by the government, and it will have the same value as the paper, or fiat, currency.

It is understood that CBDCs is far different from cryptocurrencies in being regulated and therefore subject to banking laws. They are issued by a central authority and are therefore trusted by traders. The CBN issued its regulatory guidelines for the eNaira on 1 October.

This message is to Nigerian women.

As you well have noticed, the “Presidency” has seized control of the First Lady’s conference room for about a year now.

Not a word or whimper from the Nigerian women.

Women of Nigeria arise and fight for your rights. Seize control of your hallowed conference room and take back what belongs to you.

But no guns please.

I hope they didn't forget to add Arabic to it....
Enaira won't be higher than the value of naira...
Enaira falls when Naira falls.
When you can do transfer,who needs Enaira...
If APC thinks foreigners will but Enaira instead of BTC then they need to psychiatric test.

Re: E-Naira: Buhari Launches Nigerian Digital Currency by MrOON:
I have some questions.


1. What's the difference between this e-naira and the soft naira i transfer to my clients for business using ussd or bank app?

2. Is E-NAIRA mineable like some other cryptos?

3. I hope this is not the 1 dollar 1 e-naira = 1 naira, APC promised Nigerians.

4. Typing.... ?

Reason why bubu is saying dz e-naira will boost Nigeria's GDP by $29B dollars in 10 years is what I don't understand!

Is dz not d same Sinzu dt promised to change $1 dollar to 1 naira in 4 years?
Why wait 10 years for d future again!
Well, 1 can't risk my money on a site that will crash again!

Nigeria carry over project no dey finish!
