How many people with existing crypto coins save with ngn, even if the government does they'll still end up converting it into usdt, so it's still a loss for the govt

The government will incur no loss. They will be in possession of your dollar for investment which are channeled into profitable businesses and payout naira to anyone who intents to cash out their wallet token.
Every dollar you deposit into your crypto wallet is into someones business and not in the air. It is what the government is yet to understand.
Bit coin rises and falls based on outputs of the businesses. No one gives you free money anywhere.

Government should understand this and create a platform where earners of forex can lodge in their earnings to get benefits from their investment. The cash out will not be in dollar but in Naira. But the problem is that the government has told themselves that they can not do business due to corruption which is their making. So how can they invest peoples money and make gains from it. So the people are left to be preyed on by dishonest private individuals.

Oshe Special Adviser to the government on Crypto affairs

thank you. I give God all the glory. I want to thank my mum, my dad, my brother, my sister, my uncles and aunties. I want to also thank my friends and enemies and all those who made this possible. I really appreciate. God bless you all...

Fire brigade and threat won't solve anything.
I advised long ago for the government to create it own token/wallet that can appreciate over time but they refuse.
Now dollar is rising like crypto.

It is not Atiku talking. Lets just ignore him.

But business man can not loose. He will just add twice what ever charge they paid to custom on the price of the goods.
Nigeria in quest of generating revenue created the inflation we are crying of daily.
They keep making reference to investing in Agriculture as if the inflation was caused by too few goods and not cost of production, cost of transportation, cost of storage, cost of security and clearance cost not to mention middlemen.

I have applied for passport online since 2021 but have not gone for physical capture because of my work schedule. I have deliberately not scheduled another appointment since 2021 because I have missed my first schedule due to work and I only have one more left as only 2 chances were provided. After the media frenzy by the interior minister about making passport application available online, I thought something new was added. Quick check appears that everything was the same. So why the frenzy. I understand the need to make a ministry appear to be working, it should go about it in a truthful manner.

Ministry of transport had to pay transport operators just to subsidize transport fares during the festive season. We are yet to see the beneficiaries of such good gesture by the government. But we onlookers believe it was all for fund diversion to take place.
Ministry of transportation should have vehicles on the road on subsidize amount constantly. But nothing to show. One clueless minister thought what we need is a transportation university and not vehicles on the road. If we have aviation school, why not transport school. As long as we have people who are clueless about the priorities of the ministries they are appointed to head or supervised, they will will focus on something else.

The agriculture ministry and the research institute have not been doing enough.
The root crops research institute had a break through in cassava variety they call 419 stem that yields unbelievable output but it is not readily available or tested in the north with vast land mass. They are supposed to be working to reduce the duration it takes for the casava roots to be harvested so that regions with less rain duration can get the maximum benefit of the breakthrough.
The varieties of rice in the market are really not that good especially in the north. We use to have a fine variety in benue state that has long grain it seems to have gone extinct.
The ministry should work and get these special breeds that makes farming fun.

The housing ministry award contract to themselves at exorbitant amount making it impossible for building of low cost houses for public subscription.

Ministry of works and housing should have a cement factory, run a quarry, plastic industries and ceramics. They should also be involved in a steel factory and a timber factory. These are the industries that produces most of the materials used in building and constructions.
They should have staffs who actually works and not just those who carry files from office to office.

The government is overwhelmed by clueless selfish officers who are beneficiaries of appointments and another set of smart and intelligent appointees who are caged by departmental bureaucracy in government parastatal.

As it stands now, there is nothing that the government is producing that the citizens can subscribe to so that some of their earnings can go back to the government.

The political jobbers are mostly living tax free and they earn over 50% of government recurrent expenditure.

You are weak

That weakness is the strongest thing in a man.
No gree for anybody is not a comment from the strong.
It is from the weak taking a stand against their fears, usually a strong opposition.

Easier said than done. Regrets is unhealable. He can forgive but forgetting won't happen.
It will always ring a bell when giving his best is demanded from him.

Just because Wikipedia said it doesn't mean it is Igbo. I'm Igbo but I'm not familiar with the word. Give an example of its usage in an Igbo sentence if you are sure of what you are saying.


You were there when it was coined? OK, tell us how it was coined. How come the word 'aza'? Was it from any language? Tell us.


Thank you for this information. Mind you, we're not quarreling. So far, everything poinfts to Igbo and Bini.

Definitely not Igbo. We can't claim this word.

But somehow, Igbo belong to edo and benue. I still can't understand the meaning of the name of some communities in my locality. They sound edo or tiv.

Security Information!

"Please use *996# to view numbers that may be linked to your NIN. Follow the prompt using option 4, & option 2 respectively. If you discover any number linked to your NIN that is not yours, de-link such number immediately or call your network provider and report. You may also check your NIN status using option 4, & option 1 respectively.

Unscrupulous NIN staff members are selling sim cards linked to people's NIN. Don't suffer for what you do not know.

I was at the MTN Maitama office yesterday and heard a lot of surprising information. I met a very top security personnel friend of mine who told me how innocent people are being roped in lately because these criminals linked those dubious sims to innocent people's NIN.

Please act fast and do the needful because ignorance is not an excuse under the law."

You know this is not true. For you to link any sim to a NIN, the name on the registered sim must match with the name on NIN. Also, your face ID is also matched with that on your NIN. So for anyone to take possession of such sim that is pre registered such must successfully modify the name on the pre-registered sim.

The only way some one can have a sim registered to another person and linked to someone's NIN is if the real owner misplaced it and chose not to look for it, or gave it out or if the sim reg attendant did dual sim registration on your behalve without your consent and kept one for fraud.

This is why you need to go to MTN care to link your NIN for MTN users.

Anyways, it doesn't hurt to check the numbers linked to your NIN.

MsAllison:
Enough of these undeserved respects.
We deserve better from wicked capitalists.
Dangote does not deserve the respect some people are according to him and here are the reasons:
A country with abundant crude oil but imports petroleum products after exporting the crude oil.
For decades government have been trying to figure out how to get some refinery working so that at least we can start producing our petrol and save dollars used in importing these petrol.
You came as a knight in shining amour and told the government that you'll build a private refinery but you'll be needing loans and unlimited access to subsidized dollar at CBN subsidized rate.
Government was very happy that they gave you loans in dollars and sold dollars to you at 300 naira against the black market rate.
You got lots of tax waiver all at the expense of the poor masses who had hopes in your refinery.
They wanted to complain but the government told them to relax that your refinery will ease the pain and stress on the forex.
So in theory, your refinery will buy crude oil from our unlimited crude oil deposits, then refine it and sell to both local and international markets.
with this theoretically dollars will be saved and our currency will be strengthened.
Fast forward when you completed your refinery, everybody was happy, speculations on how your refinery will make the naira stronger again flooded the homepage of our dailies.
Today, our hopes are dashed after learning that you'll be importing Crude oil from the US.
Haaaa seriously ?
Then what's the essence of building this refinery since we've ended up in the same circle of importation again ?
So what's the difference between this and someone that imported an already refined petroleum?
Some persons are even defending this telling us how Dangote Refinery is a private investment.
Yes you're right but it was built with the help of the masses subsidized money and lots of tax waivers so he owes us some patriotism acts.
A selfless business man would have focused of refining Nigerian crude oil for some years, at least to ease the burden.
Now he has added to our burden because imagine Dangote hustling dollars with an average man that needed the dollars to import raw materials for his manufacturing company.
This is not fair to Nigerians and we must demand accountability from Dangote.
he owes us that because he has thrived on government support at the expense of the poor masses.
He must be the solution and not add to the problem.

Ms Alison.

The truth is Nigeria has leased the crude oil it will be producing for about a year now for loan. That deal was shady but agreement has to be honored.

Dangote, if he is not a foreign mole to sabotage the economy, should not shut down business just because Nigeria can not meet up with his refinery's crude oil need. So he will source for dollars to import crude oil where he deem best or from partners that has offered workable modalities and agreeable terms. Again, some crude oil needs to be blended with different variety for better output. This could be one angle to look at his need to import crude oil.

The government on the other hand should and is trying to increase daily crude oil output to meet up with domestic demand for local refineries while meeting up with OPEC quota for foreign demands.
I believe that is one of the president mission in France.

Now that we have debt to pay and local demand for crude oil by local refineries, we can not go wrong by increasing the volume of crude oil extraction. This is our window to exceed OPEC qoata.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
DSTV is global, DSTV Nigeria is regional/national.

There was no response whatsoever from DSTV Angola. And again, the handler referenced different handles for the imaginary DSTV Angola. This is not MTN VS AIRTEL kind of banter. It was a deliberate PR for DSTV.

Barzinime:
It's DSTv Nigeria vs DSTv Angola

There was no response whatsoever from DSTV Angola. And again, the handler referenced different handles for the imaginary DSTV Angola. This is not MTN VS AIRTEL kind of banter. It was a deliberate PR for DSTV.

This might look like sports banter but it is not. This post shouldn't make front page and should be deleted.

DSTV is trying to act as if they are for Nigeria but they are not. We should not be giving them the audience they seek.

Senators, now Peter Obi. Hope it is not the same dollar we are crying about daily that they are blowing up and down.

But their presence makes it fun though.
It will surely take the banter off Angola.
It is going to be between the owners of Nigeria (miscreants) and Obedients

Civil servants

This is the vehicle plate number status on road safety portal.

Tunechi5:
What do you think should be put in place for this current regime to achieve this under 8 years

If we introduce a new currency and call it nogree, and 1nogree is valued at 1,000 naira, that would mean 1dollar is valued at 1.5nogree. case solved.
Having one dollar equal 500naira is not even feasible unless there is crisis in US and Nigeria is the only safe place for them to run to.

Otunbakayce:
Oga shut and stop writing long list of bullshit.
Buhari Government left a huge debt and
Nigeria is broke and doesn't have any forex to finance it's economy and service it's huge debt.
The two borrowings that this present Government is responsible for the free fall of the naira.

Government doesn't pay salaries with forex so how can it be broke. If government make use of local contractors, there wouldn't be pressure on the forex we earn. It is lack of foresight and will that is the problem and not just borrowing. The way out of debt is not accumulating more debt. It is not offering your creditors crude oil worth 12 billion dollars for a loan of 3.3billion dollars. There is a lot going on wrong because of fear of failing. The government needs to face it fears and not try to cover it with cosmetics.

mightyhaze:
Nice little epistle..,

So whose job is it to stop or curb all these ?

Whose table does this buck stop?

It takes being human. It is a collective responsibility. Every policy that the government may push forward requires human effort for it to work. But the Nigeria mentality is that any office you are appointed to head is your settlement. Where man dey work na there he dey chop is the reason nothing is working. We are our own problem.

Yes, I agree that the president is to be held accountable for the direction the country has headed, but I have seen him take genuine steps that should make things work but he has to obey quota so that regions and states are represented in his government. So the performance of the country's economy is dependent on the performance of his appointees and their deliveries on the economic policies.

Working. But don't be spoon fed.
