FCMB BANK HAS JOINED THE GANG OF BAN

As e dy be na, I say make I know the kpege weh dy happen for our naija say make I get some news na him I see one headline say FCMB has join the bad boy gang, say if you dy deal with high volume of transactions and you dy within the age of 18 to 30, such accounts should be flag as internally sent to their staffs as memo.

The memo content as reported by Gazette

Compliance Advisory on Cryptocurrency Dealing/Transactions” is in furtherance of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s ban on the trading of cryptocurrency in the country.

Accounts “with high volume transactions operated by individuals between the age brackets of 18-30 years as signatories,” should be flagged for possible fraudulent activities by staff members, the memo said.

They claimed they are trying to weed out money launderers and criminals, this people are funny sha because the rate at which money is been laundered through fiat in this country is at high but they are trying to used cryptocurrency to justify their actions.

Yesterday, court been sentenced Former Pension Boss Abdurasheed Maina to prison for laundering #2 billion, or around $5 million. He was only a scapegoat, I believe that if they look deeply, top 50% of government officials would be imprisoned for mismanagement and looting.

Cryptocurrency is here to stay and this is my recommendation because very soon, few other banks will soon follow procedures and you wouldn't want your account be flagged, there is no alternative to get a new bank account since BVN is involve.

Some us having been trading for long with some p2p traders, kindly whitelist their names and sell to them only whenever you want to trade your fiat or buy Fiat. It doesn't have to be outside, it should be within Binance since many Nigerians used the platform.

Another recommendation, used p2p here  created by Brainboss, he is one of the most trusted member here. You can see other reviews and trade on this [thread]

My final suggestion is for Luna users. I received their email yesterday confirming that they will resume depositing and withdrawing funds via vouchers, but they have yet to convey the process for completing transactions.
Unlike Binance, where you can easily obtain the sellers and buyers banks details, it was a straight transfer in LUNO. However, since CBN stopped everything without revealing the buyers and sellers accounts, I'm not sure how it will appear using a voucher; it could look like a gift card or something similar.

FCMB BANK HAS JOINED THE GANG OF BAN

It is really fraustrating at times to be a young Nigerian. I can't imagine why a country like Nigeria that has not created enough jobs and equal opportunities for youths, will be so hell bent on ensuring that it's citizens continue to live in poverty and lack. Small crypto wey boys dey use take get money nai dem wan frustrate like this.



You dey see the screenshot so from my WhatsApp, 400million dun dey hang like this.

CBN ban accounts for trading cryptocurrency

The way things are moving in this regime, be like this government and their goons are determined to frustrate everyone to untimely death. This is the most confusing and disorganised democracy ruling I have seen.

According to Director of Banking Supervision, J. Y. Mammanand instructed the commercial banks to close down accounts trading cryptocurrency.

You are hereby directed to close accounts of the underlisted bank customers and place the funds in the accounts in suspense accounts for engaging in cryptocurrency trading in contravention of CBN Circular BSD/DIR/PUB/014/001 dated February 5, 2021

The listed accounts belong to two individuals, Nnamdi Francis Okereke and Nwaorgu Kingsley Chibuzor, and a company called TVS Hallmark Service Limited.

I'm not sure if this is Nepotism, because this government is very good at it, blacklisting just 2 accounts is strange. I hope we are all safe, man cannot carry gun or steal, man want to survive in legit and government no get head to help youth. Sad<>

I do wonder where the youths of this country(Nigeria) get it wrong that makes the Nigerian government treat them bad this way. First of November last year the Nigerian government and CBN ban transacting crypto with banks, whereby shutting down of accounts that have ever transacted crypto with banks. Yet, our government has not shut down the account of even one bandit or terrorist. Does the Nigerian government prefer our youths to engage in terrorism? Na big time Noooo be that.
The same Nigerian government is now labelling everyone as a criminal if you receive deposits from crypto transactions. It's so pathetic to experience this, in this present regime. We go survive and make am by the special grace of God(Amen)

You know how judiciary works in Nigeria only the rich survive.

Yes. But not only in Nigeria, it is like that all over the world.

So if you wan use binance P2P, make sure say you check the number of trades the person don get first, small amount of trade is a red flag.

But did you think the CBN are not into this for long, but Nigerians also like rumor. Can you give us link that authentically prove this to be true. But, yet, we have to be very careful.

They claimed they are trying to weed out money launderers and criminals

Is there any government officials that embezzled money and linked to cryptocurrencies? I haven't heard one before, all linked to fiat and properties.

Criminals? When according to Chainanalysis stat report in 2019, less than 1% of bitcoin is involved in illicit activities.
Also, abduction is now common in Nigeria, any abduction linked to cryptocurrencies? None linked to cryptocurrencies that I have heard about.

What I notice that's spoiling reputation of cryptocurrency is that all this young guys that are into cyber fraud, if you ask them what they are doing they will tell you they are into cryptocurrency which is a lie, they are  scammers and they are using cryptocurrency to cover their self.

Please I want to ask, why can't I find the Nigerian Local board on home page. Are you okay with this thread as a board because it isn't a board at all even though there is activity here  it is an inglorious thing to have a thread substitute for a local board. This is a thread created by cryptopreneurBrainboss in March 2019, two years ago. What this means is that for two years the Nigerian Bitcointalk Community hasn't grown or is comfortable with having just this thread

[Charles-Tim]

It would have been better if theymos has given us local board when we requested for it, it would have been more lively on local board rather than just a thread, but we have not been given local board, which might be as a result of low activities or other good reasons, but our activities have increased, if we continue like this, theymos we give us a local board soon. Also necessary for help to improve our posting quality. Like me, I rather not post than posting olw quality contents.

---snipped---

If you check the chart above, you can see how this thread was not active in 2019, and not that active in 2020, but the activity has been increasing drastically and now abruptly in 2021. It will be good if the activity increase more in 2022. This can be achieved by seeing this thread useful, caring about one another, bring what can be helpful for other fellow Nigerians here, especially pertaining to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
