https://punchng.com/ecowas-reaffirms-plan-to-rollout-eco-single-currency-in-2027/

I am not really presently reading Nigeria news, unlike before. But some Nigerians are saying Nigeria will immediately no longer be spending naira in 2027 after ECOWAS countries start spending eco.

Nigeria will continue to spend naira until it is no more in circulation if eco is rolled out is what that will happen.


But what do you think about this? There has been several times since decades ago that ECOWAS want a single currency called eco, but its launch has been shifted many times and now it is 2027.

tbct_mt2 wrong quoted or he did not understand what I posted.



I replied to what BitMaxz posted after quoted him. This is it which is after OcTradism posted after him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5580260.msg66619810#msg66619810

tbct_mt2 quote what I posted and which I totally see as off-topic to what I posted. That was the reason I quote him which you can see on the image. Later, a moderator deleted my post.

Why was my post deleted?

Yes, Bayern Munich is going to win Bundesliga this season despite that the club still have more work to do.






It is 11 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund which is in second position.


But this kind of odd is too low to go for. Can you go for this kind of outright with this low odd?

Misleading title, all because of money the news sites are given. Do not be fooled.

Do not believe in presales on the news sites

As the title says, that is how you will see it on the news. In 2 or 3 years ago, I noticed this on one of the largest news site in my country. I even saw some of the same news on Cointelegraph and online.

Exactly, that is how you will see the title, but do not be fooled, they are just means to reach more people to scam them. Avoid these presales.

If you read the news, you will first see the coin that is a presale before seeing other good coins like bitcoin below it. They are only trying to advertise the presale coin which will be the first coin that will be on the news or article, just to make more people see it and buy it.

Just read it here to understand what I mean: https://punchng.com/the-best-crypto-to-buy-now-stellar-bitcoin-cash-chainlink-and-blockdag-deserve-a-closer-look-in-2026/

Do not be fooled, I followed many of the coins few years ago, you will lose money. I do not know the reason news companies will risk the money of people living in their country just because of their own personal gain.

[There is no sports betting available]

I have been noticing some lies on Punch (one of the largest news in Nigeria) since few years back, with presale sponsorship which you will see on my next topic in few minutes, this topic is about Stake. How can a country that their citizens can not access Stake.us skipped Stake.com but advertising a site that is only available in United States in Nigeria because they have a gambling site that is sponsoring them to do so.

Stake.us is a sweepstakes casino based in the US. It does not use real money directly. Instead, players use two currencies: Gold Coins, which are just for fun, and Stake Cash, which can be redeemed for real prizes. New players get 250,000 Gold Coins and $25 in Stake Cash for free when they sign up. There is also a daily login bonus for 30 days.

Compared to aد online bitcoin casino, Stake.us operates differently since it runs on a sweepstakes model rather than real-money betting. There is no sports betting available, and the game library is smaller compared to full-scale platforms. Stake Cash requires a 3x playthrough before withdrawal, and the platform is not available in 14 US states. Rakeback sits at 5%, which is modest. It works well for casual players who want to try things out without spending money, but beyond that, it has its limits.

This is the opposite of Stake.com that Nigerians have access to. Punch is most visible to Nigerians and not Americans. Some people will believe their ignorance. Very bad.

Edit:
It is not Stake that sponsored it. The site that sponsored it will be the last which they sugarcoat as if it is better than Stake but which is not true.

This is the thread: POLL: Best Crypto casino in 2026. With so many options, whats the most trusted?

What do you think about guffie, an user that was active last on April 16, 2019.

You can easily know that from his post history: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=957950;sa=showPosts

He suddenly woke up to create a poll which is heavily manipulated by other of his alts to let people (like newbies as example) think that people on this forum are choosing his possible scam gambling site is my guess which is:

Possible scam gambling site:

Code:

https://CryptoRoyal.win

He created that thread on 6th of January. See the domain of the possible scam gambling site that he is voting for possibly with his own alts or coordinated:

Domain: cryptoroyal.win
Registered On: 2026-01-26
Expires On: 2027-01-26
Updated On: 2026-01-26

It was registered two days ago.

That definitely means that he edited the poll and using his alts to vote for the scam site that he slotted in so that the scam site can be on the top and deceive newbies and maybe some other people to think that the site is legit because they will think legit people voted for it but which is wrong.

I did not just come about this conclusion but I have been having the feeling that Stake is the number one crypto gambling site, I later make a research just now because of this thread: POLL: Best Crypto casino in 2026. With so many options, whats the most trusted?

I noticed on the thread that Stake has the highest vote, but it just came my mind to search online to know the crypto gambling sites that is the most visited by people and I saw this:

Stake.com: As of late 2025 and into 2026, Stake is the most visited gambling website globally, recording over 109 million visits monthly. Founded in 2017, it has grown into a multi-billion dollar platform and is considered the largest offshore crypto casino in the world.

Is this actually true? I know the answer already but let me see your opinion about it.

I will lock this topic: Trump threat about Nigeria invasion

I will lock it because United States is changing their stance already on invading Nigeria or not. Or let me use pressuring Nigeria and not invasion.

I saw this recently on YouTube and I browsed about it to confirm it. This is what I saw which makes it to likely be true: https://politicsnigeria.com/us-war-threat-cools-declares-nigeria-on-the-right-path-after-security-talks-in-abuja/

I was updating the insecurity in Nigeria before with new threads. I think I had 4 or 5 topics about it within 2 or 3 days or so, I stopped updating it because I am tired but it is still going on. Federal government allegedly paid ransoms but they did not disclose it and call it rescue. Some students were reported to escape and so on.

I am not surprised that military wanted to take over French colonized Benin Republic but Nigeria government helped. ECOWAS gave the go ahead, Akpabio said the Senate approved it. France was connected to it because people said French President called Tinubu about it. This happened just of recent and United States is now having soft talks. Although, not a surprise, I know Nigeria government is very good in politics concerning international relations. I wish they can direct such wisdom to economy and combating insecurity as well.

This happened in Niger State at St. Mary’s Papiri Private Catholic Secondary School, Papiri, in Agwara Local Government Area. Students and teachers were kidnapped. The total number of people that were kidnapped is unknown but the number of students and teachers that were kidnapped is up to or more than 100.

https://saharareporters.com/2025/11/21/breaking-terrorists-invade-catholic-school-niger-state-kidnap-dozens-students-five-days

Nigeria is turning to something else.

These were two attacks.

The first attack was on Christ Apostolic Church during a special service. The attackers targeted the worshippers,  killed three and kidnapped the pastor and some other people.

The second later happened in the evening. The bandits reportedly launched another violent attack along the Ilorin–Kabba Road, forcing travellers and residents to abandon their vehicles and flee into nearby bushes. Two people were killed while some people were kidnapped.

To understand about these better, read the news here: https://punchng.com/bandits-kill-five-abduct-others-in-kwara-community-attacks/

The Nigerian Army released a statement that the the Brigade Commander and his troops returned to base safely, but later the terrorist group, ISWAP showed video of how it was killed.

Many of his troops were also killed.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/836201-iswap-confirms-kidnapping-killing-nigerian-army-general.html

But why did Nigeria Army first said he returned to base safely? Is it not about bribing the terrorists for the release of the Brigade Commander. I am not saying this is correct but I am just wondering what caused the false information.

I respect the soldier fighting this terrorists, I wish all their attacks can end.

It was before I slept I posted about female students that were kidnapped in a school in Kebbi around 4 AM yesterday, but I am reading another one when I woke up about a priest that was kidnapped early this morning in Kaduna.

One killed, many missing as gunmen kidnap Catholic priest in Kaduna community

I do not know how true the news is but I am seeing it on some other news.

According to the statement, several other residents were also abducted during the attack, while Mr. Gideon Markus, the brother of another priest, Rev. Fr. Anthony Yero, was killed.

25 students were kidnapped in Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga. You can read further: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ypn7pwgv5o

But I watched this video about it instead: https://youtu.be/0jx4Qezuzd8?si=VzFnyBpZRtdeZixd

Nigeria is becoming something else with this high level of insecurity. People living in Northern part are really trying.

I always have my account logged in, but yesterday I wanted to login on my second device and I noticed that passkey can now be used on Stake.com (Stake.us for people living in United States) to login instead of password.

I have noticed this on several exchanges but I have not noticed it on any gambling sites before until yesterday when I saw it on Stake.

I have not seen anyone that complained about passkey since I have been seen it on exchanges, but is it safe enough to be used?

Note: I only have just little amount of money that I can afford to lose on gambling sites. This is just for educational reason. Let me see if I can learn from some people about passkey vulnerabilities.

According to Trump, he said Venezuela is dumping their prisoners in United States and that drugs like fentanyl is smuggled from.m Venezuela to the United States.

I saw online that United States seized 65% of drugs that enter the country through land crossing, 28% through airports and 5% at sea (which will likely be how Venezuela are smuggling the drugs into United States). I make findings if fentanyl is produced in Mexico, the answer is yes and land crossing will be dominant.

I still do not know the reason United States is attacking the country. Is there a good reason United States is attacking Venezuela?

Let me just quote myself because I have already posted this on a thread not quite long but I want more people to see it to know if they will have better explanation.

Why did FIFA want South Africa referee in Nigeria versus Gabon?

I heard that South Africa was deducted 3 points and goals because of the complaints Nigeria filed against South Africa. South Africa will be the referee in the match.

With Africa Minister of sport spoke openly that he does not wish Nigeria to qualify.

The VAR is from Benin Republic. The country that supposed to qualify easily instead of South Africa easy qualification if Nigeria did not win Benin Republic but Nigeria won the team.

I have heard about this since last week or two weeks ago but I have just remember now after I saw the news again.

Why such decision from FiFA?

Why such decision from FiFA?

I am expecting this

From Christian genocide to Biafra 

You all know how this is complicated, but let me just stay silent. I just think I should be updating you people. If Igbo want to leave Nigeria, I am not saying they should not leave, but this people that are not from Nigeria should gather more information very well before misleading Trump and other people.

Christians are not only murdered in Biafra states. I wish I can have the percentage of Christians that are murdered in Nigeria in each states and they will be shocked to know how many are not from Biafra (Igbo) states.

If you want to know about how Christians and Muslims are killed in Nigeria, watch this video: https://youtu.be/ouyyZOWOr9k?si=OyIBdE0V-O9tgGyw

If you want to know about Muslim mascara in Nigeria, just use AI to get the information. Both Christians and Muslims are killed in Nigeria. What we need is our government to do the right thing as people generally are killed in Nigeria and the killing is too many. It has been happening since more than a decade ago.

This will be my last topic about political matter regarding United States and Nigeria regarding Trump invasion. I just want to make some things clear to Nigerians on this forum because I saw some of their posts and I think we should always think twice before making any statement against what could possibly not later favour our country.

Do you know that China supported Nigeria against Trump's threat? You can read about it here: https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/c78ze441422o.amp

Do you also know that European Union supported Nigeria against Trump's threat: https://www.arise.tv/trumps-threat-of-attack-eu-backs-nigeria-reaffirms-support-for-sovereignty-peace/

It would be better for Trump to be making good investigation before saying something like that. Trump claimed few months ago that South Africa are killing Whites but which is not true because Blacks are also targeted and killed. This is kind of similar to what is happening in Nigeria.

I know about this before, but I do not want to jump into conclusion. Do you know that politician like Peter Obi talked about the insecurity in Nigeria but he did not mention Christian genocide?

Femi Falana said if Trump could say that with no evidence, that Trump lied to the world: https://youtu.be/6fOGNl1zz8M?si=5HqU_LA1gQiB32qD

Although, Fanala talked about the insecurity: https://youtu.be/OPD0ZRiwAsg?si=Ayt_QhmBQODYCIvJ


If you want to know about how Christians and Muslims are killed in Nigeria, watch this video: https://youtu.be/ouyyZOWOr9k?si=OyIBdE0V-O9tgGyw

What we need is our government to do the right thing as people generally are killed in Nigeria and the killing is too many. It has been happening since more than a decade ago.

Yes, I agee that we have crime and public safety concerns in Nigeria, but I hate it when people are using United States to compare us. I am reading world news since some years back and I always read how people are using guns to kill themselves in United. There was one that I remember that school children and a school teach were murdered for no reason.

See Donald Trump, if not for his God and good chance that he had, it was like a movie when someone wanted to use Sniper to kill him, the gun shot would have penetrated him through the head if not because he turned his head within less than a second the gun was shot.

Read this one:

On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, an American right-wing political activist, was assassinated while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University (UVU) in Orem, Utah, United States.

When I wanted to find out the name of the man, Google AI showed me this:

Numerous individuals are murdered with guns in the United States daily, with recent high-profile incidents identifying victims such as Joy Rogers, Solomon Banjo, and Michael Durbin in a mass shooting in Southport, North Carolina, in late September 2025.

I also saw this:

Persistent Gun Violence: As of late September 2025, there have been over 11,000 gun-related deaths and nearly 20,000 injuries in the U.S. this year, with more than 300 mass shootings. One opinion piece described America in 2025 as a "killing field disguised as a democracy" due to the high rates of gun deaths.

Specific Incidents: Reports from mid-2025 highlight specific attacks on places of worship and schools, which contribute to public anxiety and a sense of vulnerability.

Many of you people do not know what is going on outside Nigeria is the reason you will be comparing Nigeria with countries that you see to be better. United States can be far better actually but no need to compare when it comes to crimes and public safety concerns, each country has their own bad sides.

Do you know that Sudan was the biggest country in land mass in Africa before? South Sudan liberated  from Sudan, making Democratic Republic of Congo to become the largest in Africa.

Do you know that the Blacks in Sudan before the liberation were Christians? The mass killing of the Blacks led to the liberation. They said  they so not want to be part of Sudan anymore as Islamist group are killing the Blacks.

This thread is not about this but about the present day Sudan.

There are still some Blacks in the country after the liberation, the Sudanese government are just like the Nigerian government that do not support the Islamic terrorists but support Blacks and all citizens, but the Islamic terrorists do not want that, they are heavily murdering the Blacks in Sudan. That means they are heavily murdering the Christians in Sudan till today.

But the problem is that the terrorists in Nigeria are killing people but the terrorists in Sudan are reported to be advancing as they take over a region (maybe a town) recently.

Is Trump not seeing this? Why Nigeria. Even if he wants to provide support, United States should work with Nigeria government and not make a threat just because the Nigerian government make Nigeria to be one of the BRICS partners (not a BRICS member) and also because our government do not allow Venezuela deportes from United States as Trump wanted.

We know all these tactics.

How has United States force intervention in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria played out? All not good at all.
