It's not only depression that makes people kill themselves. Some kill themselves cos of shame, they can't face the shameful consequence of what they did. Someone kill themselves cos they are running from the law. Some kill themselves cos they are running from paying debts. Some even mistakenly kill themselves.

Business / Operation Rescue Naira: FG Plans Strict Rules For $57bn Crypto Businesses by Elliotwaveforec: 11:33am
https://punchng.com/operation-rescue-naira-fg-plans-strict-rules-for-57bn-crypto-business/

By Justice Okamgba, Oluwakemi Abimbola

The Federal Government may consider the suspension of the $56.7bn peer-to-peer cryptocurrency market after a crucial meeting between the Securities and Exchange Commission, and digital asset operators scheduled for Monday.

Nigeria’s volume of crypto transactions grew by nine per cent year-over-year to $56.7bn between July 2022 and June 2023, according to the 2023 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report by Chainalysis, a United States of America-based international blockchain analysis firm.

The latest move by the SEC signals a broader effort by the Federal Government to tighten regulatory oversight within the cryptocurrency space amidst growing concerns over illicit activities and the manipulation of the naira exchange rate.

Earlier this week, the Central Bank of Nigeria had stopped major fintech firms from onboarding new customers in an ongoing audit of their Know-Your-Customer process. Following the regulatory action, major fintech firms, including Opay and PalmPay, sent emails to their customers on Friday, warning them against trading in cryptocurrency or any virtual currency on their apps, and threatened to block any accounts found engaging in such activities.


The threat to block accounts has faced heavy criticism, particularly from the 33.4 million individuals actively trading cryptocurrencies; many of whom rely on cryptocurrency trading as their primary source of income.

However, Sunday PUNCH learnt that during the proposed Monday meeting, the government may choose to announce a temporary halt in the P2P crypto trading to enable it come up with a comprehensive set of rules for effective regulation of the space.

Other sources privy to the meeting said the government might choose to engage the crypto stakeholders on a new set of rules that could be deployed to better regulate the space.


They ruled out the possibility of imposing a temporary halt on P2P crypto trading. As of Sunday, details of the exact decision the government might take during or after the meeting with the crypto operators remained sketchy.

However, operators in the crypto market confirmed the meeting, saying the meeting would bother on the current development in the space. The Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee of Nigeria, in a notice posted on its X handle on Saturday, noted that the meeting had been at the instance of the new Director General of the SEC, Dr Emotimi Agama.

BICCoN said, “The newly appointed Director General of the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed an industry-wide meeting with the Nigeria blockchain community. The meeting will be facilitated by the Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee of Nigeria.”

Officially, the SEC has yet to confirm the Monday meeting, but sources close to the commission confirmed the meeting on Saturday. They, however, said that ‘nothing was cast in stone yet’.

In 2021, the CBN had restricted banks and other financial institutions from operating accounts for cryptocurrency service providers. However, in December 2023, the financial regulator lifted the ban and announced a reversal of the policy.

Fresh concerns emerged in February over the activities of the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, on its peer-to-peer platform, such as implementing a price cap on USDT trading.

Authorities said those activities contributed to the devaluation of the naira and destabilised Nigeria’s economy.


Worried over the significant volume of transactions through Binance Nigeria, the CBN Governor, Yemi Cardoso, stated that $26bn had passed through the platform over the past year from ‘unidentified sources’.

Amid the crackdown, the crypto exchange ceased all naira services, including deposits, withdrawals, and trading pairs, starting in early March 2024.

In an interview with Sunday PUNCH, the Chairman of BICCoN, Lucky Uwakwe, said that the group would be seeking to reach a middle ground with the regulator, which had so far this year introduced stiffer guidelines for digital asset operators, as well as a proposed increase in the registration fees.

Ukakwe said the meeting “is for us to try and bring the industry to be compliant and remove bad actors who abuse technology, especially the concern raised by the government on those that use the technology for market manipulation of naira.

“We also hope that innovation in the industry is encouraged to enable the industry to gain more foreign inflow that will aid the current administration’s drive for foreign investment into the nation as seen in other countries such as China and the UAE, and not to stifle the industry.”

On his part, the President of Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria, Obinna Iwuno, told one of our correspondents that there was no official communication on the ban of cryptocurrency transactions from regulators. He said, “There is a whole lot going on. It is not just clear the direction as we speak, but hopefully, on Monday, we will get to have a position, “What we have done to solidify our position with the Nigerian government is that local exchanges stopped their naira services. The government raised an alarm that cryptocurrency was responsible for naira depreciation; operators stopped,” Iwuno explained.

The ‘Know Your Customer’ compliance level of fintechs has also been a source of worry for regulators. This involves verifying a customer’s identity and understanding their financial activity to prevent financial crimes, such as money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud. According to the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System’s fraud watch report, fraud losses increased by 496.96 per cent over the past five years, and financial institution customers had lost N59.33bn between 2019 and 2023.


The report read in part, “The amount lost to fraud has increased over the past five years, along with the growth of financial transactions in the digital payments sector.”

A source from one of the major fintechs in the country, who preferred anonymity, disclosed to Sunday PUNCH that the CBN was not declaring cryptocurrency illegal, but was rather focusing on addressing regulatory and identity management issues.

“Some of the expectations from the meeting would be to have a more robust and safer ecosystem that will prevent fraud, and protect the funds of customers.

“The CBN is not saying that cryptocurrency is illegal, but there have been issues surrounding regulations and identity management. Those are the grey areas that the CBN is trying to address. They don’t want a situation where people are getting into Nigerian systems to defraud others, or engage in any negative activity that could harm innocent Nigerians.

“It is more or less about finding a way to make this thing work better. Sometimes, people can simply create a virtual account, and one won’t even know who is behind the account. So, it’s really about ensuring end-to-end verification, from the first line of payment to the very end, with the account holders’ identities attached to it. I think it is necessary at this time,” the source explained.

Nigeria’s volume of crypto transactions grew by nine per cent year-over-year to $56.7bn between July 2022 and June 2023, according to the 2023 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report by Chainalysis. Despite Nigeria now leading in peer-to-peer exchange volume, sub-Saharan Africa accounted for only 2.3 per cent of the global cryptocurrency transaction volume between July 2022 and June 2023, making it the smallest crypto economy in the world.

In an interview with Techpoint Africa, Youssef said most of the P2P transactions did not happen on Binance or any other platform, but on social platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and ‘everywhere on the streets’.

“Most peer-to-peer (transactions) don’t happen on Binance P2P, NoOnes, or any of those other platforms. They happen on WhatsApp, Telegram, coffee shops, and everywhere on the streets. That is where most peer-to-peer is happening. I think most of that is peer-to-peer volume. They are trying to cover up too, because Nigerians are very crafty and have ways of using things for reasons other than what they were created for,” he maintained.

In March, the SEC, under the former DG, Lamido Yuguda, revealed plans to issue updated guidelines for the operations of digital assets and virtual asset service providers in the country, saying the new guidelines would ensure criminals did not gain entry into the country’s capital market.

The SEC notice, dated March 4, 2024, partly read, “The SEC has also developed a new AML/CFT/CPF onboarding manual for licensing, registration, and ongoing screening of digital and VASP beneficial owners to ensure that criminals are not registered as operators in the capital market. The SEC is ready to interface with genuine VASPs based on these clear rules and regulations.”

The SEC also proposed that for virtual (crypto) asset service providers, ‘no person or entity shall provide any virtual asset service unless registered with the Commission; a company seeking to operate as a VASP shall be incorporated and have an office in Nigeria. Its Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director or its equivalent shall be resident in Nigeria.”

When questioned about the SEC’s proposed guidelines in the crypto sector at the last Capital Market Committee meeting that he chaired, the former SEC DG said investor protection was a driving motive.

“We want to ensure that investors who decide to get involved in digital asset products are well protected. We want a platform where certain capital market functions are duly segregated. If you are an exchange, we don’t want you to also be a custodian, and such.

“Also, we are very mindful that AML/CFT considerations are very important when one is dealing with crypto assets. We want to make sure it is not money laundering or funds used to promote terrorist financing,” the former SEC DG said.

The Chief Operating Officer of Fintech Association of Nigeria, Babatunde Obrimah, told Sunday PUNCH, “I am not privy to the circulars sent to the Fintechs, and I am not aware that crypto is illegal. The meeting will put things into perspective.”

“I think the issue is that to trade, one must be licensed by the SEC. So, if one is trading without a license, then one is technically illegal. But, we should talk after the Monday meeting, instead of speculating,” he added.

In March, the SEC proposed a 400 per cent increase in crypto firm registration fees. However, checks by Sunday PUNCH, on Saturday, showed that the proposed guidelines had been deleted from the SEC’s website. It is unclear when the PDF was removed from the regulator’s website.

The proposed amendments to the rules for crypto issuers, exchanges, and custody platforms include hikes to all supervision fees. Instead of a N100,000 application fee and a N30m registration fee, the SEC proposed N300,000 with every application, N1m as a processing fee, and N150m as registration fee, with the sponsored individual fees raised to N300,000 from N100,000.

An economist, Aliyu Ilias, emphasised the need for urgency in addressing the deficiencies within the fintech ecosystem, citing the ongoing struggle of the apex bank to effectively regulate them, as illustrated by the recent case involving Binance.

Ilias argued that in the dynamic tech industry, regulatory clampdowns often led companies to exploit loopholes, stating, “Even the Know Your Customer requirement proves insufficient.”

Another industry stakeholder, who is also the founder and coordinator of Blockchain Nigeria User Group, Chuta Chimezie, expressed hope that the Monday meeting would ‘help the industry significantly, and improve the relationship between regulators and policymakers’.

“The last few months have been nothing short of wars. as the CBN keeps clamping down on P2P platforms,” he lamented.

Men talk crap about dressing. Women talk about avoiding situations. Lemme tell u...even if they paid money for the concert it could still have happened. You can be raped inside your house in the afternoon with all your wisdom and good dressing. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you cannot be raped because you are wise and won't be outside at past 7pm in the evening. Don't assume that these girls put themselves in a dangerous situation. It could have happened to any of us. Sorry for being confrontational. It just pains me when girls turn on girls.

Politics / Re: Can Gov Eno Reconcile This? by BabaTony: 11:08am
Please if your close to the governor or his people, please inform him that in addition to his tourism agenda he should focus on the following:

CITY AESTHETICS
Get rid of street trading and illegal parks on our major roads and around Ibom Plaza , Ibom Plaza has to be rebranded to give the city centre the shine it requires, it is directly facing the road going into government house. Provide tight security in and and around the area for people to visit with their families. As it is now, it is a den for lunatics, drug peddlers, pick pockets and thieves so people can't visit, its an eyesore!!!. It was supposed to be a relaxation spot with ornamental trees and flowers with fountains and lightings with a controlled apportioned space for light shopping and not a full blown market!!! I don't know what his plans are but he should hurry up. The area also requires an multi-story car park for cars which will also generating money for government through parking fees.

UCCDA should please wake up from slumber and get to work by eradicating shanties, street trading and illegal motor parks along our major roads and areas around Itam Market and flyover Area, Akpan Andem Market, Ikot Oku Ikono flyover (this one is really bad), ring road roundabouts. All the trees, grass and fountains at Itam flyover and other roundabouts done by previous administration should be restored and got functioning. People should not be allowed to place their wares and signposts on pedestrian walkways, forcing pedestrians to walk on the roads with cars, It is very wrong. We need to work the talk for tourists and other investors to take us serious. Stadium road is an eyesore today because kiosks have taken over the road especially around Mbierebe junction. Government should consider building new big markets around different parts of the city to relocate people to. Please the govt should act quick and save our city. As the governor is working , his appointees too should do their jobs and stop faffing around, very few are working. It is sad that some local government chairmen cannot even organise for major streets in their domains be swept and lawns, grean areas maintained, even if its twice a week. Accumulation of sand on the road is a major reason most of our roads develop potholes because sand traps water which weakens the roads. New road contracts should incorporate planting of trees and grasses and flowers improve the aesthetics of the road (this is lacking of late). I'm not seeing much of this from HENSEK (I mentioned him because he is handling most roads in the state), his roads lack proper finishing, he should improve in this aspect. Proper sensitization on the menace of littering the environment, dumping waste into gutters and prosecution of defaulters will also help improve the aesthetics of our cities and attract visitors and investors alike.

TRANSPORTATION
Intra-city and Intercity routes with bus stops within the state should be mapped out with large buses run on a PPP arrangement to ply them on a schedule (purely time based, the bus does not have to be full before it moves, immediately its time, it moves powered by IT. A department of AKTC can be created and used as a pilot. The number of buses per route will depend on the demand just as it is done in developed climes. It will become the transportation of choice especially for tourists and other visitors who want to have a sense of security while moving from one location to another in the state. The buses can even even have maybe two Ibom security watch personnel in them to strengthen the security- this is another source of employment for our youths. More traffic lights should be installed and the ones that that have been installed made functional, Stadium road by Mbierebe junction, needs a traffic light. Keke should be taken of our major roads, let them ply internal roads. There are other areas to be improved but let me stop here. Akwa Ibom is a great State and we can do better. God bless our leaders and God bless Akwa Ibom residents, well wishes and the state.

Romance / Parental Alienation: The Problem And Solution by Sbfplus(m): 10:25am
Introduction

Parental alienation, a troubling issue in families, occurs when one parent influences their children to dislike the other parent. This leads to strained relationships and emotional distress. Let's explore the problem and its solutions.

The Problem:

1. Kids Feel Bad: When parents try to turn their children against the other parent, it makes the kids feel sad and confused. They love both parents, but they feel like they have to pick sides, which isn't fair and makes them feel guilty and anxious.

2. Relationships Get Hurt: Parental alienation damages the relationship between the kids and the targeted parent. Trust goes away, they stop talking, and sometimes they don't talk at all anymore.

3. Lasting Effects: Parental alienation doesn't just affect kids when they're young. Grown-ups who went through this as kids often have a hard time trusting people, feeling good about themselves, and making good relationships when they're older.

Solutions:

1. Learn to Co-Parent: Parents can go to classes that teach them how to work together even after they're not together anymore. These classes can help them understand that the kids come first and that they need to get along for their sake.

2. Get Help from the Law: Courts can step in to stop parental alienation. They can make sure both parents get to see their kids and give consequences if one parent tries to keep the kids away from the other.

3. Get Therapy: Families going through parental alienation can get help from therapists. They can help kids talk about their feelings and help parents learn to trust each other again.

Conclusion:

Parental alienation negatively affects families and children. Through understanding and seeking assistance, we can create healthier family dynamics. Let's strive to build loving and united families.

Sadly the compassion shown by Christ and His disciples for their followers is one major quality lacking among today's church leaders.

Imagine when a church leader would be priding in the abundance of his earthly riches while some of the members of his own church wallow in poverty.

I don't think any of the early apostles ever did such a thing not to talk of Christ Himself.

May God help us with the kind of leaders the early church had.

I didn't watch the game, I went to YouTube to see the highlights and out of the four, MATS should've done better on just one, the other three were not on him AT ALL. He even made some good saves! the goals would have been more. I don't know why you guys expect MATS to be a super goalie. Bring a new goalkeeper to this shambolic team and you'll be crying to have MATS back.

Barca s defensive structure is so bad that every attack from the opposition would seem like a huge goal threat! every where go just open and they will be slizing through our backline ..and someone will come here to blame the GK lol.

See as the Barcola of PSG who continually had a lot of space and skinned us in both legs looked shockingly average against dortmund, he couldn't do shit! Doesn't that show you that there's a problem with the way we're set up?

Ederson and Raya are not better goalkeepers than MATs but one won the golden glove medal last season and the other has already won it this season. When the defensive structure is bad, there's so little a goalie can do.
I respect your opinion but but personally, i feel our goal keeper isn't who is use to be anymore, the goalkeeper we knew is long gone and he can't reproduce his form anymore.
I think the solid defence we had last season, covered the lapses of our goal keeper, last season we had the best back in the world so our goal keeper had little or no reason to worry at all, over the years before last season and before xavi came, we rightfully blamed players that they ain't fit to be players of Barcelona, we blamed old players like busquet, like alba, we even said we need to move away from over dependence of Lionel Messi but what we failed to talk about is our goal keeper who has been hiding behind our defense for many years now.

The saves you see stergen doing are all normal and everyday saves any goal keeper can do, nothing spectacular at all.
When was the last time he saved a penalty?
He let's in easy goals, even outside the box direct shot he sees from afar, still goes past him.

Take a look at Aston villa for example, they don't really have great defense but look at how amazing their goal keeper is.

If we want to move forward, stergen needs to go or have a worthy competitor.
I even read that before Lionel Messi left, he wasn't in a good relationship with stergen, Suarez too wasn't in a good relationship with him.
Perhaps Lionel Messi and Suarez saw what we failed to see for many years.

Don't feel like replying u, but...
Let me speak from experience. I was in your shoe, but u know what saves me, "street ot".
Now, if am to advise you, don't chase her away nor run away from her. Because if u do, believe me, u're hurting urself. Still be friend with her. Once a while, go to her office, laugh and joke with her, maybe once a day. Don't show any sign that u are jealous or angry with her, no. Flow with her but, never again raise any friendship or visiting talk with her. Even when she calls u my boyfriend, don't rebuke her for calling u my boyfriend. Give her time,she will come back to you.
Also, most guys are diabolic. Outside been smart, most guys uses charm on ladies.
Secondly, don't date in where u are working. Have a dignity. Don't loose your respect or dignity just because of "Nigeria girls" that has no value.
Lastly, the quickest way to die is to sleep with married women. the advice I gave u above is for future purpose Incase u find ur self in such scenario again and not for married women
Politics / Re: Why Does It Seem Like Lagos State Mostly Demolishes Only Fine Buildings by Nostring: 10:04am
kYjelly2:
I have nothing against those that can't afford good buildings, just needed to state this as a disclaimer.

However, why does it seem like Lagos mostly demolishes only beautiful edifices?

There are a lot of slums in Lagos, with seemingly decaying houses, but they never seem to be under threat of demolition.

Minus the makeshift market kiosks that get demolished every once in a while, few badly looking buildings ever get demolished.

Just makes me wonder sha
una no dey think at all bfr u talk ...all this Obi ppl, kai😏

2015, Reno Omokri, was alleged to have been involved in N25m armed robbery case which was widely reported by the media.
Biko go and verify.

In 2024, a 15yrs old girl was raped by her pastor who goes by the name Isaac Omokri, he is Reno Omokri’s brother” man cries out, seeking justice for his daughter.
Go verify.

Mr. Reno Omokri covered all these crimes against humanity while chasing clout with Peter Obi’s name, negativity seems to have been running in their blood.
