The current situation in the country Nigeria.

[Jatiluhung]

I am sorry about what is happening in Nigeria. But I think the problem that Nigeria is currently facing is the result of the government being too hasty in deciding to issue new money. without preparing everything to overcome all the impacts and problems that will arise afterwards. and inappropriate timing is also another problem. namely because there is currently also preoccupied with holding presidential elections.

An example of a step that is considered too hasty is like in October 2022 the government there informed the public that there would be a change of old banknotes to new banknotes. so the government appealed to the people there to save their money and cash savings in the bank.

And this call should have been made when the government was fully prepared to distribute the new banknotes. however, it turned out that this call was actually made when the government was actually not fully ready to distribute the new money which he said was ready to be circulated. but it turns out the distribution is running slow. so that the paper money crisis began there. and causing queues at banks and at ATMs and such. people already save their money in the bank and they have difficulty accessing it. I read a lot about Nigeria lately. I do not know whether the news that reached me is true or not. please be corrected by users from there if I say the wrong thing.

I hope that all the problems that are being faced there will be quickly resolved and get better solutions and improvements for the future.

For this very situation Mr Satoshi has given us a way to be free from the que in front of bank stop wasting our time. If peeps in Nigeria come together and ask for better infrastructure then it could change many things for them. I am talking about basic necessity of internet, cyber café or smartphones. Considering the fact that you are able to post here you must be having proper internet connection and access to multimedia device.

That is all is needed for every person in the Nigeria so that they can start using bitcoin. Imaging if from merchant to Retailer to consumer everyone starts tagging stuff in bitcoin (without converting to fiat) then they can raise the standard immediately and earn huge along the way.

They won’t be needing any sort of bank. They have chance but they should take it wisely.

Nigeria is experiencing hardship because of they governance in the government of the country, from what i have noticed so far what caused the hardship in Nigeria is not basically for economy of the country but it base on newly established law used to frustrate some politicians because of the election of her country, so therefore it's only the new government that will emerge will happen to fixed the country.

It's important for each country to have a great leader, not only for their own but also who cares about the sake of its people. Unfortunately this wasn't easy and this is why many countries are still suffering and slow in terms of developments. Its been a long time since the country of Nigeria is known to be one of those underperforming countries in terms of other aspects because there are still aspects where they can excel.

People on this country are very literate when it comes to computers. Their new law can be great to frustrate those politicians who are not performing their duties well. People on this countries only need to vote wisely next time if they still want their country to improve.

Recently I was reading news article, the cash shortages have made  life even more difficult in Nigeria, where 63% of the population is poor, 33% is unemployed an only 45% of adults had a bank account, according to world bank. The crisis has added to the woes of surging inflation and a weakened currency.

Everyone has been stranded. There is no hope of survival, everyone is running here and there and looking for shelter. There is no electricity, no water, you cannot go out to the street to buy food. There is nothing you can buy and even the cash is not there. These politician seems like they don't value to the country's people. They don't care about anyone.

The hardship in Nigeria increase day by day the massive are suffering. The poor old men and women. That doesn't have access to bank are suffering. Our people are suffering they are dying our leaders should do something about it to me I don't think we have leaders anymore. The people we call our leaders have already failed us. Now it's time for election let's vote wisely let not suffer for 8 years again

Such heartbreaking incidents really touch our tender hearts.  Leaders will only get their votes when they need them.  During the elections, every leader goes door to door begging for votes from the public. And during elections they promise that they will do everything for the people but when the polls are over the people don't get any help even when they go door to door. This is the current political situation. We can only pray for Nigeria from such situation.  May God remove this far-fetched state of Nigeria.

Just imagine a pregnant woman died in a hospital just because there was no cash the network was bad for transfer. Where are we going to

Pregnant mother died in hospital for cash only. There can be no sadder news than that. The doctors of that hospital should be ashamed for taking the lives of two people just for money. It is our prayer that God restores the situation in Nigeria.

I've heard of some Nigerian groups who are striving to make a difference, despite significant hurdles. For example, I've read about an organization called "Save the Children" that is striving to improve healthcare access and nutrition for Nigeria's children. I've also heard of the work of "Doctors Without Borders" in Nigeria, which provides medical care to those in need. These are only two instances of groups making a difference; there are many more. So it's vital to remember that even modest adjustments may have a tremendous impact, and that everyone has the ability to make a difference, even if only in a small way.

Doctors Without Borders is Médecins Sans Frontières, a French NGO that is funded by more than 50% just by private donations from US and Germany.
Save the Children is a UK NGO, that got 1 billion in funding from US alone.

Kind of ironic to see that the only good examples are still run by the ones the population blames for everything wrong.

Believe it or not but price of commodities around the world has all gone up thanks to the war in Russia-Ukraine which has a spiral effect of increasing gas pump prices and other commodities in turn are indirectly affected..as human's we are survivors and I believe our friends in Nigeria will survive this hurdle.

Just imagine a pregnant woman died in a hospital just because there was no cash the network was bad for transfer. Where are we going to.

I find this hard to believe, don't doctor's go by the oath of human life first before anything...
if this really happened find a way for the affected person to take legal address to see how they can be helped...

Our people are suffering they are dying our leaders should do something about it to me I don't think we have leaders anymore. The people we call our leaders have already failed us. Now it's time for election let's vote wisely let not suffer for 8 years again

The problem is waiting for a miracle from politicians which is the wrong approach, these don't owe anybody a life which is why people need to hold the bull by its horns and find means to put food on the table .

[Zanab247]

When the government is doing well, it will be a good thing we also talk about their good like what the new administration is doing to make sure they eliminate the hardship the past administration has caused in Nigeria.

You can see that, there is a steady network to carry out any transaction compare the past administration that made many people to lose their love ones because they didn't have network to access their transactions that caused the damage.

If what this new administration is doing now, to stop those foreigners using dollar to fight their local currency, I believe in 5 years time Nigeria will be a country everyone will like to live.

People can do something about it since you can vote for different politician for countries change. But if you keep putting the same guys on the set then change will never came on that country so citizens of nigeria should work for its change because its really bad if your health care system,economical and other aspects has been neglected by the head of the state.

But its good if you open up this discussion on Nigerian section because people came from outside Nigeria cannot do anything about it so speak up on correct board to get more good result since maybe you can influence people to vote the right leaders on your country.

Good suggestion dear,but personally I think the citizens/individuals in Nigeria are trying thier best at every given time during elections to execute judgement appropriately as they should on their behalf.They constantly witness their problems year to year without been solved,and  they're constantly been neglected by the government.

To be honest here,the political systems and agenda of the Nigerian government cannot proffer solid solutions to this crisis in Nigeria.Its very essential to have a leader in one way or the other,but in aspects that involves your wellbeing and livelihood,consider yourself as your the head;be your leader and follow your lead.Even if  it costs you,ride on with patience,wisdom and consistent sacrifices.Ensure to you make progress to learn,unlearn and relearn from the weakening economic.

It's good that governance in the country is 8years just as other countries do have their own tenure arrangements and if changes don't happen in a positive way during the first four years of a sitting president, it is possible to have another well deserving candidate become president and help turn the situation in the country around.

What I see as an issue, is the fact of not having one mind as citizens in a country.
Things are supposed to be better if everyone could help in their little way and not be afraid to do so, fearing death threats or kidnapping or robbery or something bad that happens to good people with good national interest of advancement.
As citizens of the country it is better to focus on getting better at whatever skills you have and try to increase your ability to earn, by so doing, issues like the pregnant woman mentioned would be avoided if you had the money and did the transfer to save her, let it be that it was the money that was the real issue and not the absence of good medical staff on duty or good operating machines and tools.

I appreciate you bringing up this subject as it's very important people are reminded of and never forget the kind of atrocities that are going around different nations across the globe that don't happen in most other places.

I've read/been told that some of Africa's poor nations are being heavily controlled by China and Russia in the "background".  I'm curious of everyone's thoughts around that?

Finally some good news popping out about Nigeria and it would be really great if this happens as Nigeria is already a place everyone would like to live if not for the ongoing corruption which has caused hardship because the nation has everything like fertile soil, ground water, large number of young population and rich minerals, all it takes is a good and sensible governance.

The situation in Nigeria is really bad. Their government and administrative system is really bad. Because of all this the people of their country are suffering so much.  Nigerians make the wrong decisions in the election of their leaders time and time again and pay for it in the long run.  It is really sad because the election of a wrong leader puts the whole country in danger. Hope they don't make this mistake in their upcoming elections and vote for the right leader.

[God bless u]

Our people can't understand these basic things that these kinds of leaders only try to make themselves rich.In most of the cases either they are a part of world plan and they work on that or they want to get themselves rich.In both the cases they don't bother what people are going through.

We could take a stand against them and try to select a leader from the poorest background so that he can understand what people are going through and he will be the best person to advise solutions for that. Don't go after these kinds of selfish leaders if you want to survive.

You might want to pay more attention to your write up or perhaps the situation in Nigeria got you so emotion to just type and not do a recheck.

Apparently, Nigerians have hot a local board now and you might want to move this thread over there. There is a lot on motion of the on going activities with the currency, fuel scarcity and others going in the local board already. Hope this finds its way there too as you seem to be speaking to the Nigerian people already. Although, its not going to be something strange anymore. There have been lots of talks already.

Nigeria is a Middle Eastern country that has been plagued by rebellion for decades. Many of the people there are hungry because people's income level is very low, so there are frequent robberies and even kidnappings under the pretext of ransom, even without any discrimination in carrying out their actions, in 2014 they even carried out their actions. The kidnapping of more than 1,600 students and their aim was none other than asking for money. Until now, the country of Nigeria is being squeezed on all sides, both economically, security and there are even areas where there is still no electricity. Hopefully there will be donations from crypto billionaires to help the people there

That advice might be solid, but the situation in Nigeria (regardless of whatever factual errors OP made) is an economics topic, and I for one am always interested in hearing about what's going on in parts of the world that never get coverage on mainstream US news outlets, which is pretty much the rest of the globe unless there's some kind of war going on that might affect Americans.  So I say keep this thread right here, and hopefully it'll be a decent discussion.

You can say anything about how crappy the banking services, are and how bad the timing is but to pin the death of a pregnant woman in a hospital on the banks is just stupid.

Yeah, I just saw another thread about Nigeria in which the death of the pregnant woman was brought up.  It wasn't clear to me how the long ATM lines and her death were related, because her husband was, or could have been, standing in the queue instead of her.  I wasn't even sure she was in that queue to begin with.  In any case, I gave my opinion that it sounded like sensational journalism, trying to persuade the public that there were a rash of deaths because people didn't have immediate access to their cash.  I seriously doubt that's the case.

Nothing much is going on in Nigeria. Economic issues and inflation are global problems it doesn't imply to one country alone. Nigerians just like other countries are facing such challenges and only a few persons can be able to hold their emotions without expressing them publicly. OP, is a typical example of such citizens with fear and lack of control. I don't see anything new happening in Nigerian that is not happing in other countries in the world. Death, rich and poor, fight for power, failed government with false promises, favoritism and so much more. We are humans and we bound by these humanitarian curses. Quote me wrong if any country is the best and have not faced these problems at all

Choosing the wrong leader in a country will indeed have a very bad impact on the people and this actually does not only apply to countries like Nigeria. But this also applies to other countries in the world because every country leader does not only think about his own stomach, but he also has to think about how to make the country develop and become more advanced by relying on state revenues and existing infrastructure. Because if we think about the bad impacts, of course it will be more directed at the people in the country itself, even though the government will also feel the same way.

That's true and what's funny is that we people still keep on doing it. Sometimes not intentional thinking the new leader will also be good as the previous one if the previous one is also good, or it will be better than them if not.

A wrong leader is the ones that will only think about their own stomach. When we say stomach it does not only mean about food (just to clear out those who won't get it) but it is only just a sample term. Government can only get a bad impression but they are not going to suffer in terms of personal life because they already secured the public funds apart from the huge salary that they can get during their term.

What I wonder is that every time we encounter difficulties, we always blame the government, but ironically the government is the people we nominate. Time and time again, generations of governments have been elected by us, but not once have we stopped complaining about our choices. So is it entirely the government's fault or are we also contributing to the difficulties we are facing?

I know that in an underdeveloped country, most of the responsibility lies with the government because they are too weak in promoting the economy. But in a country and around us there are still people with quite good lives, so if the fault lies entirely with the government, why are the people around us still very satisfied with their lives?, and we don't?
