Small small this bandits matter don deh enter something else o. I no understand wetin Buhari and his APC government deh think say them deh do with the way they are petting bandits and Boko Haram. Them no fit go after bandits but na anybody weh speak out against killings and hardship in Nigeria them deh target now. This administration na one weh everybody deh regret apart from the wicked politicians in power. Bandits now say them no want money again, that government must obey agreement weh them get with them. Them day they no go release any passengers weh them carry go for that Abuja- Kaduna train. And if government no do their demand them go kill all the passengers. But them manage release one papa like that weh him name be Mr Alwan Hassan, and na the managing Director of Bank of Agriculture.

Me as a political scientist, I no blame the government on some matters, but the people (citizens) in Nigeria. Na them carry their hands go vote am put. Northern people give Buhari about a billion votes. Remember the eradication of Bandits and Boko Haram is part of the APC manifestor. Me I never see any of the APC project that has been carry out as promised by them. No promise has been implemented. They promised 10 million jobs yet I have not seen 1 job. Remember NPOWER is not a job but a contract not even empowerment. Now next year is coming again. Which person we the youth in Nigeria go vote. Remember that the old politicians killed the unarmed youths in October 20, 2020. We have to vote for someone that has never been  Politician just like we did in Bayelsa State in 2019.

We should campaign against old cago Politicians.

For this Bandit matter, make we no wine our selves, na Governments they run am, just imagine that incident for train, how Bandit take know say Big people they the train they come? Na our so called government and big politicians wey no get pity they try run us strit.
And this administration no even try at all because the rate of kidnapping they grow everyday, just imagine kaduna state, where almost all military forces have a very big Barack or offices for there and still Bandit still they worry people. Na only God fit rescue us oo, but this Government no get plans for us at all.

3. Signature and compaign: meaning and uses
4. Merit: meaning and uses
5. And how to get merit to rank up speedly etc.

CryptopreneurBrainboss has answered all your questions 100% correctly, but let me just buttress his points, i can see you already have a signature in your signature space, but since you still do not understand it, all you are doing is just basically advertising for the company through the posts you make on the forum. The thing is this, quite a lot of users (mostly reputable ones) would ordinarily make as many posts as possible if there were no sig campaigns, but as there are campaigns in the forum that want publicity, why not just wear their signature and still go about posting in the forum like you ordinarily would have done, just that this time you are earning a secondary income from it. Having said that, the company hires their most suitable campaign manager, who then selects participants he feels are quality posters to go about advertising for the company, CryptopreneurBrainboss is likewise a CM who has managed numerous campaigns, you can see it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124215.0

As regards merits which is a very subjective case, i would advice you not to worry too much about it and just concentrate on garnering knowledge about Bitcoin and the forum so you can communicate effectively through posting quality stuffs. There is no guide to rank up speedily, and if you focus on ranking up too fast you prolly might not.

[uchegod-21]

CryptopreneurBrainboss and Coyster don talk all finish, but I go like to put more stew for you.
You bin ask signature campaign meaning and uses, dem no dey use signature campaign. Just like campaign wey go soon start for Nigeria politics, dem no dey use am. The campaign for election na the process to carry showcase your candidate so that him will be voted during election. Then signature campaign for forum na the way to use showcase projects so that people go join the project or continue to use it.

You been ask about merit and how to rank up speedily, as Coyster tell you, forget about speedy rank up make you no rush your account out of the forum. When I been get my account, I say I no go stress myself, whether the account grow fast or not. I was doing my things before I know, my account don fly. So just do the right thing first, the rest thing go follow.

[Maestro75]

Me as a political scientist, I no blame the government on some matters, but the people (citizens) in Nigeria. Na them carry their hands go vote am put.

Nobody is above mistake. We no go blame people weh vote Buhari for 2015 because all of us believe say the man go deliver. But those weh vote for am in 2019 na them be the problem because by 2018 many people don realise say Buhari no fit fix our country. Buhari matter na eye opener to all of us not to ever vote for old men weh don deh there before but nothing to show for am. Any vote for old cargo politician na vote for suffering and hardship.

just imagine kaduna state, where almost all military forces have a very big Barack or offices for there and still Bandit still they worry people. Na only God fit rescue us oo, but this Government no get plans for us at all.

Na this one deh make me shock. Government no fit deny am say them no know who the sponsors of this bandits be. If na any other part of the country this thing deh happen military for don run go there and begin assault innocent citizens. But a whole Kaduna and military presence and equipment yet bandits deh play them scores.

[GiftedMAN]

So far, I have counted 14 persons who have already declared interest to be Nigeria's next president. They include:

1. Anyim Pius Anyim
2. Yahaya Bello
3. Orji Uzor Kalu
4. Kingsley Moghalu
5. Dele Momodu
6. Chukwuka Monye
7. Bola Ahmed Tinubu
8. Rochas Okorocha
9. Khadija Okunnu-Lamidi
10. Sam Ohuabunwa
11. Doyin Okupe
12. Bukola Saraki
13. Atiku Abubakar
14. David Umahi

If we talk say make we select leaders based on people wey sabi or wey get foresight, Moghalu suppose be president. Even if we want people wey dey like Barrack Obama, we get am for person like Donald Duke, but things no dey work like that for Nigeria. Na the most corrupt or people willing to corrupt that will emerge. Why you no put Wike for the list na?
Abi, na me no see am...as long as I know, na few options we get.

Talking about people wey go support crypto. All of them no get any good plan for crypto, dem see am as selling point because na wetin youths want and the present government no gree implement it. So, comot mind.

I agree with you based on wetin you talk here, those men wey you think say go support crypto no go do anything even if dem become president tomorrow them wam just use the talk see if them go buy people mind especially now wey them no say naija people eyes dom open well well for crypto so with their sweet sweet talk them feel say them go feet deceive people again. The person self wey feet support crypto currency if em enter power no go voice out now because if em try am,  em no go win even primary election for the party wey em dey represent my reason be say them believe say if them accept crypto, them no go feet dey thief or cheat people again even the rate of money laundering go reduce so e go help masses but e go choke them.

[Upgrade00]

Na this one deh make me shock. Government no fit deny am say them no know who the sponsors of this bandits be. If na any other part of the country this thing deh happen military for don run go there and begin assault innocent citizens. But a whole Kaduna and military presence and equipment yet bandits deh play them scores.

Everything wey dey happen for this country just dey show that the insecurity we dey experience dey sponsored by the state (government).

How else wey terrorism go dey since 2010 or even earlier, and yet there has been no solution to it with all the military force and even support from other countries.
You no fit travel by road or train safely and no he everybody fit afford flight. It's just a failed state at this point.

[BIT-BENDER]

You forgot to mention SPEED DARLINGTON I am laughing my ass out right now. But honestly many people who are coming out right now to contest for the presidency are only doing that because of the exposure or maybe seeking for bride so they can shift the little supporters the can gather to anyone willing to pay them, so I would not count 13 anymore because we can break it down to at least four. Which are in my own opinion.
1. Bola Tinubu
2. Peter obi
3. Atiku abubakar
4. Bukola Saraki
  These guys are the possible front runners to becoming the next president of Nigeria.

Any insurgency that lasted for more than 24 hrs is sponsored by the government that was the statement wey Abacha made while he was in office and it's beginning to look obvious even Military barracks is not even safe to show how bad e don be. Within 3 weeks a particular set of terrorist size airport, bomb train, invade military barracks and yet we have the Airforce, none of dem show face for anywhere with fighting jet..  The northern governors are making a lot of money from these terrorism business.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

When dem been dey start this violence, e be like person no warn dem. Nobi Boko Haram dem take use discredit goodluck administration. Buhari come say him go finish dem but up til today nothing very person fit use hold body dun happen based on the insecurities levels. Me too I follow believe say this bandits and all other groups wey dey disturb the country is been sponsored.

Make we reason am now, assuming na Boko Haram dey sponsor demselfs, dey for dun surrender since na but dem get somebody or organization wey dey benefits from all this. I hear say the equipment this terrorist dem get better pass our Nigeria forces own. How dem wan go wan fight that kind war when they no ready for am.

[uchegod-21]

Na this one deh make me shock. Government no fit deny am say them no know who the sponsors of this bandits be.

This country mata tire everyone. Na government be bandit, na government be insecurity and, na dem be unknown gun men, na dem be herdsmen and na dem be government. Wetin I discover be say, the head of different security prastatal dem dey hold am hostage. Everyone dey capitalise for our problem dey r*pe us.
Imagine say our president na former General, yet him no fit stop terrorism for going to 8 years now.
E good make we comot mind for Nigerian leaders, dem no fit help us, because as long as the system bad, even if good person enter seat, e go still bad.

[Charles-Tim]

CBN still maintain it stand by insinuating on crypto as an element used to perpetrates illegal acts such as money laundering, scam, and any form of fraudulent act due to it anonymity.

CBN is anti-bitcoin critic, bitcoin is money and an asset, it is normal if criminals are using it as they are using fiat but just that fiat are mostly used by criminals.

i still look forward to when our government will wake up to see the number of Nigerian youth trooping for cryptocurrency neglecting their ineffective E-Naira.

CBN knows that Nigerians are effectively trading cryptocurrencies through the P2P means of exchange. Never regard the CBN as the government, CBN is a governmental organization that deals with monetary policy, CBN are not government, just like a family that has a company, calling the company the family is not right.

CBN did not fine the bank because people are trading using p2p (but also if not stated in the purpose of making a bank transfer to be about cryptocurrency) because other banks like GTBank and Kuda Microfinance bank that most crypto traders in Nigeria are using were not fined.

But, we need to be careful, especially people that are into frequent buying and selling of cryptocurrencies, making it to becoming just like an organization for them that can be detected by CBN.

I see this move as a good move from the CBN most especially when we want to deal with money launderers who have seen cryptocurrency as their save heaven.

The fine is not because of money laundering, it is because some accounts of users were used in crypto transactions and failure to close customer crypto accounts as directed by the CBN. Although, I was confused about this because court ordered the banks to unfreeze people's bank account, but maybe this happened after the ban.

It is fair that the CBN fined the defaulting financial institutions. They already stated that digital currencies  are largely used in terrorism financing and money laundering of which there is a point.

No crypto transaction yet linked with Boko Haram, but I am not saying cryptocurrencies can not be used in financing terrorism or money laundering just like fiat, if fiat can be used, then crypto as a money can also be used. Check this interesting news about six Nigerians that US sanctioned for financing Boko Haram.

Full list: US sanctions six individuals for supporting Boko Haram

The UAE Federal Court of Appeals in Abu Dhabi had convicted Abdurrahman Ado Musa, Salihu Yusuf Adamu, Bashir Ali Yusuf, Muhammed Ibrahim Isa, Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, and Surajo Abubakar Muhammad for transferring $782,000 from Dubai to Boko Haram in Nigeria.

If fiat can be used, why always condemning crypto for what fiat can be used for.

When I talk am say there is bitcoin ban in Nigeria some people talk say nothing like that, say na partial ban or say na only Buhari fit do am. Wetin come be this now where CBN begin sanction banks? We deh forget say na Buhari get CBN.

Not partial ban? It is partial ban.

Nigerians are still able to access centralized exchanges that is very easy for the government to make sure no Nigerian would be able to access any centralized exchange in a way decentralized means of exchange would be the only option left.

This is old already, but I do not like to refer to it because even CBN do not have the power to place total ban on cryptocurrencies. This is what CBN made clear after the 5th, February 2020 crypto ban:

According to a report on Sunday, bank officials have said the directive is not to be mistaken for an outright ban. Instead, the bank said it has reiterated an already imposed 2017 ban on institutions facilitating cryptocurrency transactions.

Speaking on behalf of the bank's chief, Godwin Emefiele, Deputy Governor Adamu Lamtek said the bank had never banned cryptocurrency activity in the country.

The CBN did not place restrictions from use of cryptocurrencies and we are not discouraging people from trading in them, said Lamtek. "What we have just done was to prohibit transactions on cryptocurrencies in the banking sector."

But, even, the CBN do not have the power for total ban, CBN can only propose more ban to the government, the government may accept it or reject it.

NEW TOPIC

With The General Elections fast Approaching, I was entrenched in my thoughts thinking about how we can make the voting system better.
Can the Application of Blockchain Technology make any possible/positive impact in our Voting system?
Like everyone in the country will use a little amount of currency to vote, since Blockchain is very accurate, fast and highly secured.

If I should score it 2/10 this won't be accepted by our old  grown, sniffing scumbags and old-fashioned and centered political representatives.
But can this be done in the future ?

One more thing, it's high time we stop protesting and start signing petitions against them!

Binance users can now use their Bank Verification Number BVN for verification.

Good morning my Nija people, I am new in Bitcoin talk forum and this is my first time of saying hi to my great brothers and sisters we they here. I Don they follow all the conversations, and I Don go through some of the posts wey our great pioneers they drop, this is indeed a remarkable one, I hope we all succeed together.

Many of us wey they here dey find am difficult to verify their Binance Using the requirements wey Binance list, and we no fit they use Binance until we are fully verified. I was finding it difficult to verify even after I Don submit my verification request, them they reject am.
Right now I just see say Binance don Add Bank Verification Number BVN as a means of verification, so I tried it and it was verified successfully. Na why I talk say make I share this news with my people because I know say some of us they here wey get the same issue as me.

This is the link to the image wey I see BVN as an option for verification, I no fit upload am because of my Activity and Rank pls you can view it and see through the link.

Petition no dey work in an uncivilized country like Nigeria, if the protests no dey no work up on all the force e carry, wetin make you think petition go work. We no get better leader dem wey get shame. Infact at a time we ones had a convicted individual as president. Assuming say we get politician wey go use their own hand stepdown if they failed on their promises inorder to keep their integrity (reputation as well) in intact then the petition of a thing go fit work.

For the blockchain voting something, dat one na dream wey no go fit come to pass. U no see wetin dem do with electronical voting system dem been first introduced. Our politicians needs ways dem fit cheat and blockchain no dey allow am unless dem introduced centralized blockchain dem wey dem go fit manipulate to decieve us na when dat kind thing go work for Nigeria.

For this blockchain mata, other countries dun try am sha you fit read; Top Countries That Conducted Elections On The Blockchain

Kyc no be better thing for me to celebrate. Crypto exchanges dey do to make sure say everybody complete kyc for their platform. Binance approve nin for verification last year, from there many Nigerians complete their verification. I no like the idea of linking my bank details to third party. Why? Recently them hack popular betting site Bet9ja I no dey use the platform so I no go fit talk how their t&c be. If them require mandatory kyc nai be say all their users info dey the hand of the hackers.

Aswr but Binance shall get savings to use compensate anybody's wey hacking go affect their funds although if e happen your details dun go be that. Infact immediately you put your details for KYC just know say you dun sell out. Unfortunately majority of Nigerian gaz do am to enable a smooth use of the Binance platform. Complains been dey come ofr nin mata so it's understandable why dem introduced BVN immediately as NIN been dey get small issue.

Na the main thing be this oh, date traffickers go chop welle, before you go run the verification something with your BVN, just know say everything about your life they inside that number. Your house address, face oh, bank details, phone number even your NIN etc all dey inside that BVN number.

[Maestro75]

The northern governors are making a lot of money from these terrorism business.

That thing Abacha talk na true and Buhari and his friends no go fit deny am say them no get hand for this insecurity matter. The thing don grow pass their control now and them no fit stop am again. Make them continue. The bandits go soon reach all of them. Shebi that dwarf for Kaduna don begin deh cry out now. Governor weh no get single sense.

Binance users can now use their Bank Verification Number BVN for verification.

I go beg our people make them never try use this method for verification o. I deh always avoid anything weh get anything to do with BVN. You never fit tell which person hand weh the thing go fall into. And as 9ja government and CBN problem deh affect us go, you no go fit know if them go use am track account go block or ban am. E go better to avoid am completely o. Na my one cent for this matter be that.

Snip

I no think say greater risk dey if you use your bvn than if you use your nin. All na the same thing. For people wey get international passport, you go see say nin dey there too, all the information link together.
And I feel say binance no get the whole access to the bvn and the database, the service them dey use na the same service wey website they use know say password wey you put correct or not. Them scrap the bvn data, so if you input your bvn and e match with the data wey government get, e go automatically verify, knowing too well that your details already dey with banks.

My real talk be say, no option of verification for binance dey more risky or less risky, all na same Kyc.
