Nigerians na intelligent people, people way get business iq see the headache banks dey give customers nai make them set up these loan apps. From nowhere government won shut them down forgetting say many of these companies na Nigerian based companies and we dey use am see front. Very soon fg go attack online banks

Make we talk true small sef, this loan app people no be am for anything. The way them deh take harass loan defaulters and the contacts on their phones no good. Another thing be say those people no deh let the time reach before them begin scream. I read somewhere say the period for loan to expire na 60 days according to one of the mandates weh google give them before allowing their apps on playstore. But just one week this people don begin scream and disturb their customers and expose contacts on their list. Too bad.

I got a message on WhatsApp yesterday from one of these loan apps. That X chose me as his emergency contact for a loan, that I should contact X to repay his loan or else they will publish our names and give me bad credit history nationally and internationally. I replied I don’t know this person and blocked the number.  I have never and will never use the services of these loans apps. They demand access to your contacts, messages, personal information and reserve the right to use this information however they deem fit should you default payment.
BTW I don’t even know this person who they claim used my number as emergency contact, and the loan company didn’t call me to confirm if I know this person.

The present administration is full of comedians who don't know the difference between crypto and forex. Even the so called "ban" on cryptocurrency isn't effective, Nigeria can give laws easily but find it difficult to execute them. There are advertisement of crypto exchanges all over TV, radio e.t.c we know Nigerian Tv media houses are censored and mindful of government laws. If cryptocurrencies was really banned, there wouldn't be adverts of binance, Patricia e.tc. The "ban" IMO hasn't  affected the crypto industry in Nigeria, if anything it has made more people aware of cryptocurrency.

The ban is effective, CBN is not in control of radio station and other media Nigerians are using to advertise cryptocurrencies, CBN can not do beyond direct bank transactions, the kind of ban is like citizens can do what they want underground but they will bear the risk themselves, that banks are not concerned.

They have been following the lead of the US for a long time, so why should the CBN follow China on something that would have benefited them more? Is it that they do not care about financial profits as long as they are causing pains and difficulties to her citizens?

I class the present government as the educated illiterates. Although, I do not know if they are following China, but just to what CBN pointed to during the ban, but with many other countries included. But, still, they are losers as they are unable to see the benefit cryptocurrencies can provide them just as Vice President once implied.

The way cryptocurrency topic is being handled by FG is confusing. I can’t say Nigeria is anti crypto or pro crypto. Election is around the corner we will hear their campaign promises.

The federal government are yet mute about cryptocurrencies, it will also make sense if they are not involved especially to ban cryptocurrencies because its effect will be worse to the extent people would have no option than to go for noncustododial means.

Make we talk true small sef, this loan app people no be am for anything. The way them deh take harass loan defaulters and the contacts on their phones no good. Another thing be say those people no deh let the time reach before them begin scream.

I have used one before, name not mentioned because I am not advertising it. After my loan was defaulted was only the time they send message to me and some of my friends, it took me over (more than) a year before I paid them, they started to call after a year and many months had passed, I think they tried enough. But I see loaning this way as a means many people are borrowing and not able to pay back, also the interest is too much, ₦10000 to pay ₦13000 in 28 days is too much. Sending message to the contacts of loan defaulters is in their ToS.

Guys I go tell you for certain avoid anything loan application I see those people as a bad idea and also they are now carrying out identity theft, some of them dey demand for very sensitive payment of which you give them because you need a loan and did you know many of them aren't register and if you aren't used to reading terms and conditions k highly recommend you check how it's made to suits them.

[Oluwa-btc]

In my own opinion, I think the political representatives are all old schooled, we all need a chànge in power, I doubt if any of them have got possession of any Cryptocurrencies.

Recently the South Koreans had a new president in, who prior to this election has promised to revive digital coins.
I saw a list about them, they should be amongst countries making Bitcoin a legal tender.

Our political representatives are simply after oil wells, lands and what else ? Power, they'll rot in hell!
Maybe we should vote in folks like CryptopreneurBrainboss and Charles Tim for Minister's, how about that ?

The MOD of some of these loan companies dey very unacceptable. I dey wonder if na so loan application and company dey operate abroad wey dem go dey call numbers for person contact list regardless of the relationship wey the people get just to tell them say Mr or Mrs X wey dey happen to know dey owe money , or if it is just peculiar to us. Make person dey careful with loan applications and company o, some na real scam and fake to just steal your details.

How is the fuel situation in your area?

[Maestro75]

BTW I don’t even know this person who they claim used my number as emergency contact, and the loan company didn’t call me to confirm if I know this person.

Na that one I no deh fit reason at all. So if someone tell them say them use person name as guarantor them no go get sense to call that number first to confirm before giving out the loan? Those loan sharks sabi say if deh begin call people their market go cast because many people go decline and no go want make them use their names. Their real intention na to get people to commit and collect the loan so they go fit collect the high interest on top am. This thieves no go fit try all that abroad na where people blood deh hot. They go sue them. For 9ja anything goes. Na zoo we deh here.

[Charles-Tim]

BTW I don’t even know this person who they claim used my number as emergency contact, and the loan company didn’t call me to confirm if I know this person.

I have gotten this message over 5 times if different people, I even think this is the new trend, I got another one few days ago. It can be threatening at times as I got one last year while the rest I got was just about letting you know that the person did not pay the money in time. When the person is requesting for the loan, the company will be able to access the person's contact, probably there they got your number.

Our political representatives are simply after oil wells, lands and what else ? Power, they'll rot in hell!
Maybe we should vote in folks like CryptopreneurBrainboss and Charles Tim for Minister's, how about that ?

To lead a country that is not functioning properly is not easy, because we have rank here do not mean we are good politically and also does not mean we have the best intelligence of economy development. The problem of Nigeria is like a family or a person that knows he will have to suffer today for tomorrow to be better (not like recent poverty in the country o), but the citizens will be still be the one to complain.

Na that one I no deh fit reason at all. So if someone tell them say them use person name as guarantor them no go get sense to call that number first to confirm before giving out the loan?

They do not just give out loans, they check the bank transaction history of the person (the loan site I have used before) to know if the person will be capable to pay the loan or they reduce the amount the person can loan or the person may not be qualified to be given loan at all). Also if it is a guarantor that signed, the loaner have the right to arrest the guarantor if the borrower do not pay the loan, but in this case, the loaner can not arrest you of what you do not know about.

Guy na true talk be dat o me I bin dey see many occasions dis dem loan pipu go dey disturb with bogus adds sef whenever I bin dey online dey browse and d tin dey vexing,  they now use some of the information we bin dey provide track pesin live for notin, tank God say govt too don see to d mata now and things go begin dey change and we too no go dey loose guard now make dem no run pesin street comot.

[SmartGold01]

My broda me like this no put mind for 9ja politics again or even dey listen to them cock and bull mata wia dem dey promise pipo heaven on earth say dem go do dis and dat.

E no go too make sense if we no reason politics for 9ja completely o as young people. Na true say our country don park up somehow, especially this Buhari time but we go still deh watch and concern ourselves with matter for 9ja. Otherwise old people in diapers as we deh see them declare now go take over in 2023. Every person go get your PVC.

My broda the mata tie rapper oo, but anyhow e be we go try our best but na follow up carefully onto say those people wey seat down there no want make we country for better for us.

[Wiwo]

The matter way dey ground says some of the loan operators them na hackers were fit to do anything with your information and again them dey use software where the law no approve that na way them fit to hack your phone using your phone number, that act na big privacy violation and the law no go take am easy with them. How you go just hack person phone come dey send threats message and calling the person criminal without court declaration or conviction. Make we 9ja government deal with them I know say they cup done full when I hear of such message when customers been dey complain.

Kogi government pays N2000 as salary to workers in February. True or rumor?

Is this not surprising: Despite mandate on minimum wage, Kogi Govt pays N2000 as salary to workers


Topic: Continuation of bad economy after crude oil price soar over $100

Crude oil (OPEC crude oil) is now over $130 per barrel (over 70% of Nigeria's total export), yet was the ASUU strike, yet no increase of minimum wage. When minimum wage was increased during the during former president time in 2009 or so, no negative effect like when it was increased in 2018, it was like no minimum wage increment as the naira purchasing power has greatly reduced.


Topic: Securities have direct access to our NIN, should Buhari be involved, he gave the order and now sued.

In details:
SERAP sues Buhari over access granted to security agencies

“Unlawful or arbitrary access to people’s personal details would contravene section 37 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended), article 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and article 5 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, which protect against arbitrary or unlawful interference with one’s privacy.

I think securities should first request from the appropriate body to give them the data of a particular person rather than them having direct access to the data. This shows how we have a good president and that led to us having the best economy. I hope you will understand the irony of a president that thinks... (Don't let me complete that).

Kogi government pays N2000 as salary to workers in February. True or rumor?

If this is true, then it is absolutely appalling, but can we verify the authenticity of this information, do not get me wrong as i am not saying the information is false, i am just raising such concerns cause having gone through the link you posted on this news, the information was made public by an individual on "Twitter", thus it doesn't give the info enough backing/veracity based on the source.

Crude oil (OPEC crude oil) is now over $130 per barrel (over 70% of Nigeria's total export), yet was the ASUU strike, yet no increase of minimum wage. When minimum wage was increased during the during former president time in 2009 or so, no negative effect like when it was increased in 2018, it was like no minimum wage increment as the naira purchasing power has greatly reduced.

The thing is, no matter how crude oil prices 'rocket', i am pretty sure the government do not have any intentions to make it show in the daily living of the average Nigerian, i am afraid things will continue to opearate as if there was no such hike. And then again, as for the disparity between the increment in minimum wage in 2009 and 2018, it is pretty obvious that cost of living was fairly good back in 2009, and thus the increase was somewhat 'visible' as it had a positive effect in the lives of people, but in 2018, the increment was just to measure up with the high cost of living and create a balance, thus it is more or less like there was no increase. It is a really bad time to say the least.

Securities have direct access to our NIN, should Buhari be involved, he gave the order and now sued.

Governments will always try its best to invade the privacy of its citizens, they do not by any means want people to have the sort of privacy they deserve, for example, that is one major reason why many of us are in the Bitcoin network, cause of its decentralized nature. But as for centralized governments they will always find a way to intrude which is bad.

Anyways, me na Port Harcourt pikin, and I hail all the snr men for here. Una Weldon!

Some time shame dey cash me say I from kogi state, see the matter of kogi workers na pitiable situation make I yan una the koko as e be for kogi, I no daught the news say kogi government pay local government workers percentage payment and some people receive 2k that na true and the tin don start since this governor Yahaya Bello come power then I still dey 300 level for kogi state University and him collect bailout fund of about 50 billion naira in total and in two trenches, and after the guy collect the bailout from federal government to take settle outstanding salaries, na so the governor match the money down begin ask workers to do verifications and staff audit where take them almost 2 years plus to finish the verification and then many worker die in the process and some of my lecturers were dey on sabbatical were termed ghosts workers without payment and we're sacked.
Mean while the yahoo governor carry 22 billion out of the bailout fund open fixed deposit account with Sterling bank make him use collect interest workers were own for over 15 to 20 months of salaries the one that receive salaries are paid percentage payment. Now the matter cast EFCC discover the money for the fixed deposit account them confront kogi government and kogi government deny say nothing like 22 billion for fixed deposit account not until CBN wade in to the matter retrieve back the money from Sterling to CBN, who lose na dey workers were no get the payment but are taxed and improvise to pay back the bailout because na loan e be.
Na this same Governor wan become president for 9ja person were no fit lead small state like kogi wan rule the whole Nigeria as a country.
