I even hear say CBN them don give MTN licence to operate bank 4 9ja oooooo, U know waiten dey confuse them for this matter of cryptocurrency be say dem no understand so MTN use 5G enter them as the country wan 5G but them no know how e dey work and MTN sake of say na foreign company come use sense introduce metaverse.

I no know why anytime weh I hear of 5G I go just remember all that noise weh christians for Nigeria make about 5g and the rumour of antichrist around it. I know say all of them shame go deh catch them now. Wetin person no sabi pass them.

As e dey be so me no even see any thing like ban of crypto for 9ja ooo because cryptocurrency activities still dey go on for here steadily, and most companies dey do promotion even on TV. Like Patricia and Luno.

Somebody don reason me this thing weh you talk na too offline say if na true say them ban cryptocurrency for Nigeria why then government deh allow crypto adverts on TV and radios. And I sense say sense deh the talk.

Crypto was not completely banned; the CBN simply prohibited banks from engaging in crypto-related operations in order to discourage crypto adoption, which they feared would render local banks and currencies useless. The CBN also tried to prevent Nigerians from engaging in crypto activities because crypto exchanges are centralized, and the owner can withdraw all coins at any time, and they did not want Nigerians to experience what MMM did to them a few years ago. They misinterpret bitcoin as a pyramid scheme.

[Maestro75]

I go like make Igehhh go through that post again as he is arguing that it was not a ban.

CBN can not totally ban bitcoin.

Total ban means government (judiciary and executive) ban cryptocurrencies. Or maybe we should include judiciary too.

Implicit ban can be done by CBN which na what Igehhh dey imply for him post. Nigerians fit trade cryptocurrencies through p2p but no direct crypto-bank or direct bank-crypto transactions.

Igehhh is right.

That letter no even single out bitcoin, na cryptocurrency as a whole them mention. All of us know say CBN no go fit succeed in banning cryptocurrency but the thing be say they made the attempt. Abi wetin prohibition mean again if not preventing someone from doing it and at the same time they issued warning to banks to close down any account weh them catch transacting in it. Na just one year weh this thing happen o why we deh try forget so soon. If na only restrictions, CBN no go mandate banks to close people accounts na, instead na banks weh allow cryptocurrency trades CBN for sanction.

Haha even the circular sef get error for the English, who do Nigeria dis thing, why people were no know any tin dey always dey position were concern we people for 9ja. As dey matter dey be so CBN for 9ja dey confused and them no even get knowledge of waiten dey happen with crypto currency, @igehhh is very correct oooo waiten we dey try talk an the same thing if CBN ban banks were be the financial gateway from direct involvement with crypto waiten again we want here for ban, I think say if Bitcoin an centralized cryptocurrency you 4 fit still dey cash out through ur account. Abi una wan tell me say person fit do any tin with crypto if you no use bank?
Waiten CBN 4 do an to look into the matter first before dem jump on conclusion abi you think say El Salvador we're adopt Bitcoin no get sense..........................@charles-TM hope say u get the point now, that statement were CNB make an law and e fit effect any body abi u never hear say CBN been call on antony general 4 we 9ja make them persecute any body were still dey do cryptocurrency.

[Charles-Tim]

This na bitcoin forum, I can mention bitcoin more than other altcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. Also, read this quote below, it is up there.

Implicit ban can be done by CBN which na what Igehhh dey imply for him post. Nigerians fit trade cryptocurrencies through p2p but no direct crypto-bank or direct bank-crypto transactions.

All of us know say CBN no go fit succeed in banning cryptocurrency but the thing be say they made the attempt.

No, CBN absolutely succeeded. If court overide the ban for citizens, then CBN no succeed to ban bitcoin and other decentralized currencies like what happened for India. But unfortunately, it is otherwise.

Abi wetin prohibition mean again if not preventing someone from doing it and at the same time they issued warning to banks to close down any account weh them catch transacting in it.

Many people dey use centralized exchanges here and direct transactions before the ban, anyone here complain they freeze him/her account? CryptopreneurBrainboss even put it here say they no freeze him account and many of us do not have such complain. Some specific people were tagerted, like organizations. Later, court told CBN to unfreeze those accounts that are legit and other people's bank account. I have the link on this same thread when people were complaining about what is not about this, but I am lazy to dig deeper again.

Any direct transaction? No. CBN succeeded and na absolutely.

Na just one year weh this thing happen o why we deh try forget so soon.

Forget what?

If na only restrictions, CBN no go mandate banks to close people accounts na, instead na banks weh allow cryptocurrency trades CBN for sanction.

Answered.

All of us dey talk one thing, but Charles and Igehh dey reason like say dem no dey dis we country. Dem dey talk like say dem get right base on wetin CBN put for book. Wen you Don fall victim na em you go know say the fight na between government and the people.
Me and my guys don make some dangerous waka for Ph to dodge police, based on say dem dey search people phone to check who get Binance or any other wallet for phone. Say dem ban crypto for Naija. Dem capitalise there suck people dry.
We go need to know say our government dey rape us everyday. The reality be say government no even understand wetin dem put for paper.

[Charles-Tim]

All of us dey talk one thing, but Charles and Igehh dey reason like say dem no dey dis we country. Dem dey talk like say dem get right base on wetin CBN put for book.

How we no dey right? Be transparent as we did, with valid reasons.

Just a question, if Nigerian government placed total ban on bitcoin and other decentralized currencies, you think say you will still be able to access Binance, Huobi Global, OKX, Paxful and other centralized exchanges? No. Decentralized exchanges and direct p2p will be the only option.

Igehhh is definitely right about this.

Police brutality dey everywhere, but better to know what is going on in your country and dey smart about it. Was it lawful for SARs to dey maltreat citizens? No, but citizens that were never internet fraudsters were maltreated. Was that in law?

[Oluwa-btc]

According to poll, the three (English, Pidgin and local languages) dey accepted.

You should strive to grasp the distinction between a ban and a restrictions. I've said before that bitcoin cannot be completely banned because it is an Internet currency. It not something the Nigerian government can write to Satoshi and ask him to deactivate Nigerian citizens' access to it.Lol. The only thing the government can do is impose restrictions on it and prohibit banks from engaging in crypto-related transactions. Despite the fact that India, China, and the United States all have bitcoin restrictions, these countries possess the main crypto exchanges.

If you read the CBN message carefully, you'll notice that it was exclusively directed at banks and financial institutions, and that it warned them to keep away from crypto-related activity.

Me and my guys don make some dangerous waka for Ph to dodge police, based on say dem dey search people phone to check who get Binance or any other wallet for phone. Say dem ban crypto for Naija. Dem capitalise there

We have crypto exchange offices all over the place, and we see advertisements on our televisions every day. Do you think TV stations would accept such advertisements if crypto was banned?
