The “Digital Nigeria” mobile app is available on playstore, enabling Nigerians to enroll in ICT courses within the comfort of their homes. Much of the content was provided through AfDB’s partnership with Microsoft. Students can download certificates after they complete the courses This is a great news for Nigerian people and especially those who are already in digital and cryptocurrency investment. This news is supporting the fact that the Nigerian government is heading towards diversifying the economy by opening it up to cryptocurrency space as they are following the global trend, joining the league of nations who are digital inclined. “This is a growing trend across the globe. The digital literacy and skills pillar recognizes the fact that citizens are the greatest assets in any economy, including the digital economy. It will support the development of a large pool of digitally literate and digitally skilled citizens” It is obvious that this is going to grow the economy technologically because people will learn and invest in the technological sector and blockchain. Also for the teaming youths who have not been able to fit into the government employment system would then be confident enough to build investment in that area because it is getting approval. Online education and blockchain will have enough boost with the launch of this app. I think Nigeria is getting it right lately in the technological sector with the minister. I watched the minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami being interviewed on a national television and I saw zeal to bring the economy up to speed to global digital economy. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techawkng.com/2020/09/28/federal-government-launches-digital-nigeria-portal-and-mobile-app/amp/Further to the app launch, I think it all supports the thread opened by CryptopreneurBrainboss earlier with the title: Breaking NEWS: SEC, Bitcoin now legal (a security) in Nigeria.

Good for them. But I'm not sure why we necessarily need to connect everything about Information Technology and Computer Science to "cryptocurrency investments". Especially noting that most "cryptocurrency investments" in general are a bad idea especially for the inexperienced trader/investor.

Simply because globalization is an off shoot of modernity. You don't want to have difficulties in global scheme and trade especially for allied nations, maybe that could be a reason. Because if we view countries recently adopting digital system, they are almost countries with trade affiliations. At least for now, we can relate the reason with that.

This is the trend now, and we should e,brace the future. Good for Nigeria, by giving them access to digital portal where they can learn about the technology. This is creating opportunity to its citizens, and readying the country to a digital future.

This is obvious for the country like Nigeria, they want to catch up with the other countries that has prosper when they applied in their countries the ongoing trend. I hope this new industry in their country won't become a reason for their government officials to stole the suppossed budget for this project

This is why they need to focus primarily on financial and crypto education. Just like most countries, the covid-19 opened up a reason for even online education and Nigeria wasn't left out of it. As for the crypto education, the Nigerian youth is fast increasing in number of crypto enthusiasts and investment.

Much of the content was provided through AfDB’s partnership with Microsoft. the Nigerian government is heading towards diversifying the economy by opening it up to cryptocurrency space 2 points stand out here. #1 "This will be great because they have a partnership with microsoft." That's what people said about ethereum and Vitalik Buterin having connections with microsoft years ago. ETH isn't doing so well today unfortunately. #2 The nigerian government is one of those african administrations which tried to legislate controversial social media taxes. These are taxes africans pay if they use social media platforms like facebook, instagram or twitter. Africans are essentially being taxed to use foreign social media platforms that african governments do nothing to maintain, operate or regulate. One might say its unlikely a government which implements such policies to be capable of real innovation or progress in society. Which could mean there is a negative precedent present somewhere in this project.

As for the crypto education, the Nigerian youth is fast increasing in number of crypto enthusiasts and investment. This pandemic indeed brought a lot of positive impact towards the usage of cryptocurrencies. A lot have researched about it during the lockdown period and understand more about its true nature. Because so much negative perceptions have been written towards crypto, now I think, a lot of these people have changed their minds. Because education is the key to change someone else's mindset. If you are ignorant with something, you tend to speculate negatively. But the more your learn about a certain topic, like in this case crypto or blockchain technology, the more you will be hooked into this and the more you understand about its benefits.

The goal here is not to become popular. We all know how comfortable using digital money or cryptocurrencies. Especially using Bitcoin, it is real freedom in financial, we got already bank on our own. Using blockchain in their digital and cryptocurrencies will make it more decentralized. But there are still a lot of disadvantages to this.

Nigeria already sees the future of cryptocurrency digital currency will develop rapidly, they see economic opportunities in digital money will be the future to improve the economy in Nigeria. Maybe this will be an example for developing countries to imitate developed countries that have implemented digital money to improve themselves. country economy,

Is the cryptocurrency law in this country is legal but for only digital investment? it means that as the payment method, it is still is forbidden, right. In this case, It means that the adoption of cryptocurrency in this country has been good enough, developing enough from its beginning. And the simple question is that what is the significance of creating that? will it really give a certain influence and also impact?

Digital economy and decentralized blockchain tech are probably going to be two completely different things though. Seems like it's more of an advertisement for the digital economy - which in the largest part will be composed of CBDCs in the future - and not Bitcoin. Is this a good thing, or is it once again educating the masses about the even more centralized future camouflaged under the name of "digital currency"?

I'm not sure if this news will affect adoption or crypto investments in Nigeria at all. Enrolling in ICT courses does not really mean it will include crypto and blockchain also for the facts that it was not mentioned, but one thing I can say about this is that it's a good thing for the people there. They can learn and increase their knowledge about digital literacy and skills that will be helpful for them, knowing that we're continuously adapting to technology and the digital world.

according to chainalysis’ 2020 global crypto adoption index, nigeria is in top 10 for their crypto adoption. it just 2 ranks below united states of america. https://news.bitcoin.com/ukraine-russia-south-africa-nigeria-cryptocurrency-adoption/maybe, it becomes their consideration.

Speaking from my perspective, it wouldn't affect the adoption of cryto investment at all, rather it will encourage it, because presently cryto investment is the talk of the day for young scholars in the country.

I don't think that Digital Nigeria will make them invest in cryptocurrenc, both things are different even though cryptocurrency and Digital are under technology, they are still really different, I took ICT before aay back on my senior high but we didnt discussed about cryptocurrency becuase it onlwayocused on the basics of technoldidn'tnd some prong languages. Because far from investng in crupto, It would be dangerous for the people to invest if they are just investing crypto.
