emkz: how did your one response answer 6 different questions? 1. why should the Nigerians who you say wont support Nigeria support Nigeria? 2. does Nigeria support these Nigerians against bad governance, poverty, insecurity, injustice and unemployment? 3. what was the crime of Binance that made presidency and CBN go after Binance? 4. are you saying "We must always unite in defense of our country" because u love Nigeria or because Tinubu is in power? 5. how are we our own enemies? 6. is it when people speak the truth to power based on the constitution or when people like you blindly support the person in power? 2 Likes 1 Share |

emkz: We are our own enemies because the government caused it. Between you and I, we know that the fight FG is taking to Binance is to show face. It's never in the interest of the country. When you have a government that project the interest of the country, the people will rally easily behind them. It's just a simple arithmetic. For now, let the government keep f00lin themselves. 2 Likes 1 Share |

emkz: Nigerian issues is beyond a few leaders it is a system and establishment which didn't start 2day and must be changed. Great freedom fighter critized their countries, ran way to seek asylum and u are here talking. How many leaders do u want to to criticize and call out when a system is actively working against u? There is absolutely nothing wrong in criticising ur country if they are wrong. Americans and Europeans do it. That is how u change and correct the problem by escalating it. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

reiddecuti: Didn't the same government come from the people? How many of us really hold our government to account? For example, we always assume that everything is rigged against us. How? What I do here most days is to offer suggestions to the government and criticize those who need criticism but never to talk down on the country. This is the country of my birth and I can only speak fruitfulness to it. Some of my suggestions are considered at the highest levels and that gives me hope that people are trying to make things better. Now, majority of those crying the most are those who have benefitted from a flawed system which those in charge are trying to correct. Someone said Binance operates in the US. I try not to argue with such people because they are completely ignorant about the heavy regulations these entities face in the US. They think the freedoms in Nigeria are guaranteed elsewhere. For example, the way we trade forex in Nigeria; I have not seen anywhere in the world such a thing is done. Maybe India. Until I go there sha. I see someone talking about jakpa. The first cultural shock they'd face is that they'd lose their freedoms and be forced to conform to rules and regulations. Because many of them wouldn't be able to, they end up in jail. You and I can project a positive image of the country. Once we unite in that, the government would fall in line. 2 Likes |

jaxxy: At the bolded, they criticize their leaders, they never criticize their country. Please try to understand. As for the freedom fighters, Martin Luther King Jnr, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and the others fought against racial segregation; they didn't fight America. You assume the country is equivalent to the leaders. That is where you are wrong. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Bro. You scream too loudly. Some of us here know you are duplicitous fellow. You hide behind loving Nigeria but you are a Tinubu supporter. How can anyone who loves Nigeria support Tinubu? A man whose wealth is DIRECTLY traceable to the coffers of the state he once led as a governor. A man who has no morals or ethics behind his activities. His entire focus Is on winning elections by any means necessary. Oga, go and sit down. We have been reading your posts and how you subtly shade every other candidate but Tinubu. If you have fooled some, not all. emkz: 3 Likes 1 Share |

emkz:Its because your country was using Binance as a scapegoat when they are actually the culprit. They have been printing bills and racking up inflation and now they decided to blame binance. Binance has been in existence since 2017 with Nigerians doing p2p since 5 years even when Bubu was there, yet no currency manipulations was reported. The NGN has regained some steps for some weeks now because they have pumped USD into it and stopped floating the NGN, which was the reason the useless currency was tanking, along with the fact that we aint an export based economy. In fact the only things we export worldwide are criminals and churches. Remember they have been accusing binance is laundering money and manipulating the currency, which haven't been proven. Now they have decided to use the tax evation excuse. Was Binance a registered entity in Nigeria? No. Are crypto transactions allowed to flow through Nigerian banks? No. So how in the good fvck are they supposed to pay tax to a country their business is prohibited? Which banks/institutions would they go through? Binance was also accused of not registering in Nigeria? Like seriously? Crypto transactions are banned. Even Binance IP (and their cexes IP) is restricted, so how can Nigerians do business(legally) on it? Its like completely blocking a business and expecting the business to register and pay tax. They will pay in the jurisdiction in which they were registered as a company. Remember some weeks ago when they said that they had imposed a $10 billion fine on Binance, only for them to chicken out and deny it after the world started laughing at them? Binance operates as a decentralized organization that doesn't require a registered bank or postal address. For example, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has compared Binance to Bitcoin, which also doesn't have a physical office. You will have to mention what aspect of your outdated Company Income Tax Act (CITA) allows the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to collect tax on the virtual international trading of crypto currency pairs on a platform. 3 Likes 1 Share |

emkz: The way you treat people is the way they believe in your cause, we all know that Nigerians have no business being Nigerians but we keep deceiving ourselves. If for instance if tinubu manages to fix the economy which is not happening the next president will mess it up |

VULCAN:What exactly is wrong in supporting Tinubu? It is my choice and democracy gives me freedom to make that choice. Do I care about who you support? No! I support Tinubu. I supported Buhari. I supported Jonathan. I supported Yar'adua. I supported Obasanjo. I supported Abdusallam. I sadly supported Abacha, I supported Shonekan. I supported IBB. I supported Buhari/Idiagbon...you get the drift. Guess what? In the unlikely event you ever become president, I shall support you as well, with God giving us life. Do you know why? Because I want Nigeria to succeed. I have no intention to fool anyone as I respect my fellow man to disregard him that way. But you'd assume I am trying to fool people because that is exactly what you'd try to do. Do not judge me by your standard. PS: Thank you for making time to read my submissions. It is good to know you find interest and you had to confess @ bolded even if you don't like what I say most times. I hope to buy you a drink some day on a good note as I harbour no malice towards anyone. |

emkz: Forgive me for committing the fallacy of hasty generalization. Going by what we have experienced over the years as a nation, from successive regimes. The only call I will heed from any patriot is the call for true change (revolution) not propping up incompetent and undeserving government officials all in the name of patriotism. |

Arostar2023: Its okay. It happens when emotions lead instead of logic; we must try to find a balance. I once abused someone here with some nasty words which I regretted the next morning. I came back to apologize to him and he apologized too. I don't think a revolution is the answer, because the Nigerian environment is ethnically and religiously fragile. In slme countries in Africa where they had revolution, the countries ended up failing badly. For example, Sudan and Libya. What we need in Nigeria is citizens' political consciousness to hold government to account. For example, citizens united against police brutality in 2020, but bungled it due to inexperience, when they refused to withdraw from the streets as it was unclear what they were protesting after SARS was disbanded. What could have happened was leave the streets and regroup into a formidable political party to break the hegemony of the political urchins and take control of government through elections. I bet you, any government afterwards would be afraid of the people. Even recently, it emerged that President Tinubu gave funds for lawmakers to provide food for their people. Most of the lawmakers sat on the funds. Some people called on Tinubu to probe them. I felt disgusted. Imagine if youths unite and challenge their senators, I swear those senators would sit up. How many of you are in your senators' whatsapp groups? How many of you are on Facebook and Twitter following your senators or governors and challenging them? I was on my senator's facebook everyday and challenging him. He blocked me eventually. Would I vote for him again? Never! Let us unite and speak with one voice against leaders who do the wrong things. We lack focus, which is why we tear down the country instead of facing the leaders. 2 Likes |
