Not everyone is temperamentally the same. Secondly, from what I know about them, their marriage faced a lot of opposition from the onset because they came from different ethnic backgrounds. I worked with Mrs Betty Akeredolu once and she's quite an emotional woman.
pocohantas: This is low na. Let's be truthful. Her husband is a governor. A whole governor!
And she took her time to pen this down. She didn't have a rethink before it got to the printer?
I'm from Ondo State too and I just consider it to be her unique way of dealing with the grief of losing her husband.
I also find some parts of it to be quite moving and romantic.
Irupetepete: This is so disgraceful, disappointing and appaling from a woman who just lost her husband. If shameless should have another meaning, it should be Betty akeredolu.. I am an ondo state indigene and this is disgraceful to the memory of aketi.
They are so stupid and shameless. The other day they were accusing Igbos of refusing to take part in protests against hardship, only for them to turn around and accuse the few Igbos who joined them of being the ones who are sabotaging ESCobat's government. Very stupid and mentally limited people.
FourQu: The emilocorns new job is to troll the 5% seeing as the ebi pawa mandate is not affecting them lol 😆
My God! So that fool Sanusi Lamido was trying to force the fraudulent islamic zero interest banking nonsense on the entire banking system? Something which even the Central Banks od many muslim countries have never even attempted? We are doomed in this country.
Regrettably, Sanusi’s which would have re-invented the financial services sector was sabotaged by the tonic of religious ideology. His religious-oriented non-interest banking reforms did not only defile the financial services sector, it erected avoidable disruptive bumps on the economic terrain. It further deteriorated commercial banking system.
Africans and Indians/Dravidisns have zero genetic similarities that would suggest any sort of kinship between two people outside of their common humanity.
There is mitochondrial or other genetic markers which support your theory that Dravidians are African descendants.
This kind of desperate falsification of history to boost the low esteem of Africans is not uncommon. I mean you guys desperately tried to make Cleopatra a black woman until historians called you out for falsifying Cleopatra's history as a Macedonian and Persian woman.
I'm beginning to think that Africans love being at the bottom of everything, including intellectual honesty.
Napata77: The ancient black settlers of China were NOT Dravidians.
The Dravidians were PURE 1000% AFRICANS from Ethiopia who settled in India, replacing the PRIOR short statured black Hottentots, also known as Pygmies or Negritos who were the first settlers in every continent on Earth.
The black Dravidians from Africa ruled India for thousands of years before Aryan hordes from Iran invaded and fought them for centuries, and finally subdued them and created the nasty racist caste system currently being suffered in that country by the dark skinned population.
This is a great video on the ancient African presence in India, titled “When India Was African”.
99.9% of money laundering in Nigeria happens through the manual looting and diversion of government resources and funds by politicians. This has been going on since 1960, long before the creator of Binance was even born.
The demographic which will be hurt the most by a proscription of Binance are the intelligent and tech savvy young people who make an honest and respectable living on the platform.
Meanwhile the rotten and degenerate old men in politics will continue to pilfer billions of dollars and euros and nothing will happen to them.
jeejo: I understand that what I am about to explain will earn me insults from a selected few individuals because the same culprits are active here on Nairaland, so I am ready for that as well.
If you go to Binance P2P, there is a heavy manipulation going on there, and from my deductions, most of the big Binance P2P Merchants are united in carrying out this manipulation. Some of them even have over 2 Million dollars worth of USDT in their Binance P2P Funding which begs the question whether these people are truly Nigerians or probably foreigners making money from destroying the Nigerian economy.
Many people might not understand the strategy these merchants use, therefore, I will try to break it down.
This is how the manipulation works:
1. Lets assume that the Naira to Dollar is currently exchanging at the Parallel market for 1,500 Naira. On Binance P2P, the group of Merchants will create multiple fake ads claiming that they will buy your USDT for 1,700 Naira(way above the parallel market price). I call these ads "fake" because they will set a minimum limit above 5Million naira, which means if you want to sell your USDT to them at this exorbitant rate that they created, you must be selling a usdt value worth over 5Million Naira at once. This strategy works in filtering out majority of average Nigerians that want to sell their USDT to these Merchants. Meaning these fake ads will remain at the top of the p2p "sell" section for as long as these group of Merchants want it to remain. And if by chance someone who has enough USDT to meet the minimum limit decides to sell to these merchants, they will simply cancel the trade, and create another ad.
2. Now because these group of merchants have filled the P2P "sell" section with these fake ads claiming to buy your USDT at an exorbitant rate of 1,700 NGN, they have automatically shifted the P2P price of Naira to USD to 1,700 Naira, and now they will be selling their USDT to the public under the "buy" section above 1,700 Naira. Now - unlike the fake ads they created with a minimum limit that is above 5Million Naira to discourage sellers for selling to them at this high rate - when they are selling their USDT at this already manipulated price, you will find limit as low as 4,000 Naira because they want to sell to the Public at the exorbitant price they created.
Binance P2P is the new AbokiFx where BDC operators get their current price of Dollar from. The fake price originating from there is in turn used by the BDC operators to set their Dollar selling prices even without any corresponding demand. But the interesting part is that these BDC operators won't buy from you at any rate close to the exorbitant price they are selling the dollar to you. Here in Benin city, even though the parallel market price of Naira is above 1,600 Naira, the Abokis hardly buy your dollar for above 1,500 Naira but they will sell to you only above 1,700 Naira.
Some people might argue that if Binance is to blame, how come the official exchange rate is now above 1,500NGN to 1 USD? The answer to that is simple. Each time the rate in the Parallel market moves up, the CBN is forced to also adjust official rates upwards in order to close the gap between both windows or else the black market rate will be too wide that it will create an irresistible opportunity for round-tripping.
There is a huge rot in the entire BDC system in Nigeria that I don't think this CBN governor has any idea how deep it really goes.

As you can see, the overwhelming majority of restrictions stem from licensing issues and Anti Money Laundering (AML) and not from underperformance of a nation's currency.

Here's a list of countries that have implemented restrictions on Binance, along with the reasons cited for doing so:
China:
In 2017, China banned Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrency exchanges, effectively banning Binance from operating in the country. The Chinese government cited concerns about financial stability and money laundering as reasons for the ban.
Malaysia:
In 2018, the Malaysian Securities Commission issued a warning against Binance, stating that it was not a licensed operator in the country. Binance subsequently restricted Malaysian users from accessing its platform.
Japan:
In 2018, the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) issued a business improvement order to Binance, requiring it to improve its anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures. Binance complied with the order and was allowed to resume operations in Japan. However, in 2023, the FSA announced that it was revoking Binance's registration, effectively banning the exchange from operating in Japan. The FSA cited concerns about Binance's compliance with KYC and AML regulations as reasons for the decision.
Italy:
In 2018, the Italian financial regulator Consob issued a warning against Binance, stating that it was not authorized to operate in the country. Binance subsequently restricted Italian users from accessing its platform.
Thailand:
In 2018, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a cease-and-desist order to Binance, however the Thai Government did not ban Binance** entirely. Here's what happened:
1. In 2021 and 2022, the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warned Binance that its operations were illegal in Thailand because they lacked a license for digital asset exchange services. However, Binance continued to operate, offering services to Thai users.
2. In June 2023, the SEC filed a criminal complaint against Binance for operating without a license. This action aimed to put pressure on Binance to comply with regulations.
3. Interestingly, things took a turn later in 2023. In May, Thailand's finance ministry approved a joint venture between Binance and Gulf Innova, creating "Gulf Binance." This licensed crypto exchange operates within Thai regulations and offers services to Thai users.
Therefore, instead of an outright ban, Thailand pursued a path of regulation and partnership with Binance.
Here are some additional points to consider:
Ban on Crypto Payments:
In 2022, Thailand banned the use of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, as a medium of payment for goods and services. This ban affected all crypto exchanges, not just Binance.
Ongoing Regulatory Landscape:
While Thailand has taken steps toward regulating cryptocurrencies, the regulatory landscape remains somewhat unclear. Future developments might impact Binance's operations in the country.
Kazakhstan:
In 2022, the National Bank of Kazakhstan issued a warning against Binance, stating that it was not a licensed operator in the country. Binance subsequently restricted Kazakh users from accessing its platform.
Vietnam:
In 2022, the State Bank of Vietnam issued a warning against Binance, stating that it was not a licensed operator in the country. Binance subsequently restricted Vietnamese users from accessing its platform.
India:
In 2022, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a circular to all regulated entities, cautioning them against dealing with cryptocurrencies or entities dealing with cryptocurrencies. This effectively banned Binance from operating in India.
Iran:
In 2022, the Central Bank of Iran issued a ban on all cryptocurrency mining and trading activities. This effectively banned Binance from operating in Iran.
Bangladesh:
In 2022, the Bangladesh Central Bank issued a notice prohibiting all banks and financial institutions from providing services to cryptocurrency exchanges. This effectively banned Binance from operating in Bangladesh.
It is important to note that the regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies is constantly evolving, and the status of these restrictions may change in the future. It is always advisable to consult with a qualified legal or financial professional before engaging in any cryptocurrency-related activities.
South Africa is what is known as a "useful idiot". They're doing the dirty work which either the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) or the Arab League should be doing.
Arabs in Sudan have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of indigenous blacks in Sudan since the Gaza Terror attacks of October 7th 2023, but South Africans are more worried about Israel defending its right to exist than they are about protecting their fellow black Africans from genocide.
Mynd44: Nigeria has always had one stance about Isreal and Palestine.
Where you found the terrorist in that is for you alone.
Perhaps South Africa is also a terrorist state then
Ereluroz back on form! Welcome back to the shithole where you belong! Make you no dey form big boss when we know say you just ordinary APC zombified slave
That's like saying black Americans don't have any right to identify as black because many of them have a percentage of European blood as a result of slavery.
If your "Palestinians" are the real Jews, why do they speak Arabic? Why do the Jews speak Hebrew?
Your moronic conspiracy theory garbage cannot and will never replace the truth no matter how hard you try.
AntiMarxist: And the same idiots decieving fools like you that they are Jews are not in anyway Jews but eastern European converts.
Hadrian and Tiberius have since cleansed the earth of those Christ killers.
What you have today are Khazars who openly worship Satan claiming to be Jews.
The Palestinians have more right to the land as they are neither fake Jews nor Satan worshippers.
The Palestinians are the real Semites and have Israelite blood and not the Turkic larpers that were expelled from the Soviet Union.
Thank you. The Bible is the only book in history that talks about the Philistines. They disappeared from history and became a lost civilisation thousands of years ago.
Palestinians are just liars like 99% of mooslims are.
Lawag3: Are the Philistines the Palestinians no. The Philistines are extinct
Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Hebron, Galilee etc were all located in ancient Israel, not Philistine. Even if they were not, the people calling themselves Palestinians are Arabs who claim to be descendants of the Biblical Ishmael. Palestinians can't have it both ways. They should make up their minds on whether they want to disown their ancestors and become bastards, or whether they want to steal the identity of another race.
AntiMarxist: The land belongs to its original owners who happened to be Phillistines.
Jews should go and claim Ur in Iran from where they claim their patriarch Abraham came from.
The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people,as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam.

Xenry: I strongly recommend you get a job and keep yourself busy than ranting on Nairaland about men.
If they don't want to marry you, rest. They will marry others wey their head correct.
Men's value increase as they age, while women's own decrease as they age. Body go tell you. Time will force you to understand that no man's world revolves around you.
You should be more worried about your own age and be useful to yourself.
Ereluroz trying to reinvent himself from an Agbadorian to a voice of moral authority.
We will keep reminding you of your history no matter how hard you try to erase it.
EreluRoz: Mtcheww there should be limit to these things. You will have children and they'll grow to see some of these things. As a lady be mindful of social media because what men will do and go away with it will hook your throat forever
But Christians aren't allowed to dishonour themselves by marrying a lower life form.
cocolacec: The Imam is a mumu.Muslim men are allowed to marry Christian and Jewish women.Christians and Jews are regarded as "people of the book" in the Quran. Where did the Imam get his own ideology from?
Actually, the imam is only repeating what MOOhaMAD and Islam teaches. The duty of Islam is to either enslave or slaughter the infidels and turn their wives and daughters into sex slaves.
The only reason why they haven't done it it in large numbers is because mooslim countries are weak, poor, wretched and backward. They can only enforce their stupid ideas in their own countries.
fawaz050: People act on things differently. If you leave a simple instruction for your kids brought up in different societies, I bet they'll carry out your instructions differently. No matter how small.
And please stop exaggerating! There aren't many calling towards violence. The few of them doing so are dunderheads acting in contrary to Islamic injuctions.
Abeg, I no get strength to dey type. If you really want to learn. Please send me a mail. we can meet up and discuss.
Wallahi, I'll host and entertain you. Not trying to convert you but to clarify misconceeptions.
