Hey guys have you seen this, CBN directs banks to impose 0.5% cybersecurity levy on all transactions

Two weeks from now any fiat transaction Nigerians makes a levy fee of 0.5 per cent will be charged from your account and according to the government they tagged it cyber security levy, and this is outside other already existing bank charges we have been paying for before now.  You can read the full news in details here https://punchng.com/cbn-orders-banks-to-charge-0-5-cybersecurity-levy/

Is this government just all about taxes?

The Senate may not say anything just as it was before during Buhari time in a way that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not banned in Nigeria but the CBN banned it.

I will like the bill that can be passed to override CBN position on cryptocurrencies. But I guess it would still be as it was during Buhari time. No Nigerian will label their transaction as crypto P2P.

I think the SEC that did not say anything before are now on the move to do something. Let us see what they got to offer.

You can see the useless moves of the CBN on fintech recently. Another poor move which was just not more than a threat. I do not think the CBN know the connection between fintech and crypto traders is like the connection between commercial banks and crypto traders.

They manipulated dollar price to naira from ₦465 to ₦1600 to be able to pay workers salary, generate 2024 budget and to pay Chinese loan but saying that the manipulation is caused by Binance.

Nearly half time and still 0-0. Like the 1st leg there’s not much between the two teams, a proper chess match tonight.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes all the way to penalties.

It's your choice mate, from experience most times I cash put the geme ends up playing and when I don't it cuts, it's quote an irony, most of my gambling mates are the cashout niggas if they are close to Victory they would surely take the bet, but yeah some guys would never cash out and would rather stick with the bet pulling through.

If everyone could think like you, of course there would be no dispute between those who win their bets and those who win their bets of course have the right to use it for what they really want and we have no right to forbid them or ask for a share of the winnings obtained, however I think it really depends on a person's personality and I often see those who win their bets celebrating with their friends.

I saw this news earlier today, and I was reading through it this morning. The figures, which are half a trillion dollars of speculation, might not be correct, but I see some sense in what he said, as I have also witnessed a lot of big trade being carried out before. 
 
I know of someone whom I helped purchase bitcoin earlier this day, maybe around February. This person acquired all his USDT through some WhatsApp group, where all they dealt with was purely P2P trade, and no transaction less than $1000 was carried out there. I don't know how they were able to build such trust within themselves, but a lot of money is flowing through that group. 
 
Also on Telegram, you can conduct P2P trades, which are worth millions of naira on a daily basis, with the help of an escrow that doesn't even charge a dam. From both parties, his work is just to secure trade between both parties, so a lot of trades are being carried out off the targeted exchanges. 
 
The only thing that I believe will affect Nigerians is that if the government succeeds in bringing down all the major exchanges that support NGN/USDT pairs, both P2P and spot, there will be a lot of scams and manipulation on WhatsApp and other platform trade, especially for those who might not know their way around to trade on other Dex exchanges. Those telegram and WhatsApp vendors will now see themselves as gods, and as such, they can decide which rate they want to buy coins from and which rate they will not.

If I was Manchester United management, I would have fired ETH last night, I mean not like many games are left, and you could do with basically whoever else you have, you can put the head scout for all I care and still would do fine, not like this could get any worse, worst case would be losing all the remaining games, and ETH is not bringing you any glory anyway, so there is no upside to keeping ETH at all, he is not going to be able to do anything about it.

So firing him would have been pretty epic, not that firing him would help with anything neither, we all know nothing would change, but at the very least the satisfaction at the end of the season it would have given to the fans would have been worth it, there is at least benefit of making fans happy.

I think PSG has been good in attack but unfortunately, Dortmund's defense is also playing well and disciplined and that way, it is still difficult for PSG to be able to score in this match. I'm just worried, when PSG is focusing on attacking and suddenly Dortmund counterattacks and if this happens perfectly, then it is very possible that Dortmund is able to score first in this match. But yes, maybe in the second half there is a good change that might make PSG succeed in making a goal but if PSG fails to win in this match then it is evident, PSG is still not strong enough to qualify because Dormtund is also still playing with 11 players in this match.

I don’t really know the purpose of the poll because the device that you use to gamble depends on everyone’s choice, but let me also make my contribution. I haven’t really gambled before on either a desktop or laptop, I only gamble with my mobile phone. My laptop is always in my room, and I do use it whenever I want to work. When I am done with my work, I immediately close my laptop. For any other thing that I want to do, I do use my mobile phone, so whenever I want to gamble, I do make use of my phone. The device that you use to gamble depends on what everyone is comfortable with.

once our money got doubled in gambling then we must quite already cause we are all know that once we don't quite then there a chance that our money will go back to zero . Doubled is enough that's a good win so we need to secure in order to prevent some losses. In the world of gambling self control is a must si that we can prevent into addiction. And once we have self control then we can estimate when to play or when to cashout  our winnings.

Talking about Ronaldo we really don't know whether he prioritizes money or just wants to continue playing, Ronaldo is completely different from other old players we can see his ambition in every game even he still able to compete with other young players compare with other old players like Benzema, Neymar or Messi of course we can see that Ronaldo is still above average. Apart from that, Ronaldo wants to continue to achieve new records which no player has ever achieved.

Today Al-Nassr played its 30th match and Ronaldo scored 2 of the 4 goals in the first half while also confirming Ronaldo as the top scorer, so far he has scored 31 goals and left behind his main competitor Aleksandar Mitrovic who scored 23 goals, I don't see Mitrovic being able to catch Ronaldo. By the way I bet on Al-Nassr in the first half Handicap -1

I do agree that what Girona brought to La Liga is definitely great, a lot of leagues have the same teams at the top at all times, and rarely we see new teams end up doing well enough. They were leading the league at one point too, not for too long but that was still a quite big achievement and I believe that Girona adding some flavour to la liga definitely made it more fun.

In the end, it is once again Real winning and Barcelona at second place, the rankings could change but those two are almost always in the top two, which means that did not change this season, and that's understandable. However, we are seeing Girona adding some chaos in the mix during the season, at least the first half they were doing much better in the end.

I think, PSG can qualify for the semifinals also only because of luck because in the second leg Barcelona only played with 10 players but anyway, the reality is that PSG always falls behind first. So, if for example PSG no longer get the same luck for the second leg against Dortmund later, then PSG will also still fail. But indeed, as a home team in the second leg later, PSG will still have a chance to win because of course, the 1-0 aggregate is really a score that is not entirely safe. So indeed, I also admit that PSG still has a chance to win but for some reason, I think Dortmund will still be able to maximize the aggregate victory it has.

Arsenal will have no problem against Bournemouth. They will score 4-5 goals and win. They will reach 83 points and wait for the opponents to make mistakes. Anyone expecting a surprise in this match shouldn't wait in vain.
Manchester City will comfortably beat Wolverhampton in normal conditions. But if Arsenal wins, the points difference will increase to 4 again, so this may put some pressure on them. Still, it looks like they will win tomorrow. Pep can't afford any mistakes at a time like this. I think both teams will continue this week without making mistakes, they know that their opponents will not make mistakes either.

Wetin u talk na actually true but for this our country, a lot of underage won enter school, no be say e bad o because for oyibo side, dem don dey give their children the best education wey dem go need and make dem dey useful through am but u see for this our country so, dem won go school o but no mean say dey won go learn, some won just go school to get corrupt like joining cult, etc. while some won enter school just to answer say dey don enter school wey dem no even get brain for school self, n some wey supposed learn handwork self go dey want to enter school. So for me I really agree with the new idea wey dey bring about the age wey supposed enter university, at least e go help them in so many ways, like be fully prepare, knowing what it takes in being a student.

Addiction is a very difficult thing to comprehend for those that have never experimented, as the addicted takes actions that go against their own interests, but their mind is so warped and their priorities so out of place they cannot understand their lives without gambling anymore, which makes them to sacrifice everything for it, a huge mistake as one day they will realize what they have done, and they may try to get their life back on track and they may find themselves alone without anyone willing to help them out.

I think Pochettino should worry less about dealing and being angry with the VAR system and focus more on his team which has been suffering to heavy lost games in both derby games against Arsenal which they were demolished with a 5-0 result and also with Chelsea tonight when we are in additional time and Chelsea is leading 2-0,not much to go against the referees or VAR system in my opinion.Lately Tottenham have been doing really bad in the Premier League and while only 3 more or 2 more games remain they are not safe in their position,well they seem safe as they have another 3 games to play and the distance of 6 points from their nearest opponent is somewhat reassuring,they will be taking place in Europa League again as a consolation prize.
