Bitcoin in Niger State💯
Same here. It was really surprising that some regular individual had a courage to propose something which are deemed to be illegal. Let's only hope that the request of the OP will be approved. For sure many people are then going to be proud of him. We can't just expect things like this to happen but if we really wanted to, we can also follow the footsteps of the OP. The government, or their officials can still think and talk about it and maybe approve it but it could take time. If in case Bitcoin is already fully legal on our country, there might still be people who are skeptical, or don't know about it. We can also encourage them here.
Thank you for the kind words. I am motivated to get more supportive comments from you. I will also suggest that you try out something similar at your country, state or local government. It could yield results too. I feel like the bid to make Bitcoin universal and widely accepted, we should collectively preach the gospel of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology all over the world. It's a fast growing technology that the world need to ravel with.

Although, it's a decentralized market, we can decide to create pockets of cohorts and retreats across the world to push the best part of the technology out there. Although, it's a complex tech, it could be more simplified than it is now and we can make the world more comfortable with it. What do you think?

The state government also had a fresh breath of new administration of young people as the cabinet. Well, maybe that might not be enough, but, well, I can say that's part of the motivation to push this idea.

You are right because i read about his manifesto which you shared and I went a little dipper only to find out that he is just 49 years old that's amazing, seeing him work with young people show's that he's going to keep to his promises especially in this his first tenure as the governor I will encourage you to go on and keep pushing till he approves and implement the proposal you have presented to him. I am motivated by this your work to try out something as good as this in my state I hope to get a positive response from the governor of my state even though am not an active member of his political party APC.
If the state Governor is 49 he is a young man who already the importance of bitcoin, this was the reason it was possible for op to have  access to the governor to summit the proposal. I so fancy the step op took to take this proposal to the desk of the state Governor,  what is left now is waiting for the governor to grant his request, but I feel their is a possibility that the governor will grant  the proposal as being a young governor and also with young people in his cabinet is also an advantage for the proposal to be granted. Op I appreciate you for promoting bitcoin,  it is a really a good work abd very impressive.

It's really good work I think your move is interesting, one can't believe that a man took Bitcoin proposal to the governor of his state. It's really nice of you to complete what no one else has done yet. And the governor of your state presented bitcoin everything is organized properly, which will impress everyone. To be honest no one has ever proposed Bitcoin to a state governor like this, and it's not an easy task. You have completed this difficult task, your hard work has made you successful, it is really interesting and a great job.

I never thought I'd come to see something like this, at least the movement of Bitcoin is not just about trading investing but to spread it to the government.
I'm expecting more good news such as this to cloud major parts of the country... Little by little we'll get to hear more of this news across other states, especially R/S.
OP please continue the good work and never let the fire stop burn.

Wow that's great op. That's a big job and it's very admirable to do that. The topic of Bitcoin has now spread worldwide and many people are optimistic about Bitcoin. And Bitcoin has become a much easier payment medium for the youth. Because various restrictions, limitations, liabilities in the banking sector are becoming a major reason for youths to become more focused on Bitcoin. So the work you have done is really appreciable.

That's what I mean, I've always believed that I lack the capability to lead individuals who are more competent in bringing that topic to the government. I'm always waiting for more competent individuals to take action so that Bitcoin can truly be advocated for and obtain better protection or freedom in my country.

My unsupportive environment has diminished my confidence compared to yours. Honestly, I'm proud to witness your efforts for the greater good of Bitcoin.
individuals who have competent abilities and can provide access to voice Bitcoin to the government also depends on how the government treats Bitcoin and provides its regulations.

We can see in developing countries Bitcoin or crypto is only given regulation as a commodity asset like in my country Indonesia.
It is not easy for Crypto to get freedom or hope for full adoption because it will be related to many parties and there will be pros and cons around it.

Especially if the environment is not favorable, there is no good chance of being able to develop or use it fully.
This is due to the risk issue of the crypto market which is volatile with high volatility.
This will be a big risk for beginners who don't know anything about the crypto market.

Will you agree with me when I say you don't have to have public speaking abilities though it's an added advantage, but that should not be the limit to contributing your quota to the government and your people. It's a government of the people, and any one else can go to the Governor like I did. It's the same believe I had that took me there and boom. It was a success.
I've always been in favor of all the positive aspects of Bitcoin gaining acceptance in society. When it helps increase Bitcoin's visibility, I won't deny the potential for personal gain as well.

It will require a teamwork going forward. Now waiting to hear from the government and will invite more helping hands to join the team. I don't want to take the credit alone, two heads are better than one. We will take the steps one by one starting with the retreat then we will advance. I want the government to fundamentally understand the technology, pressing more on the benefits.

Do you ever doubt your capacity to contribute to changing a country's regulations? I, for one, have serious reservations about such a prospect due to my limited public speaking abilities. Everything tends to get muddled when I engage with government matters, particularly when it comes to public speaking.

Everyone here acknowledges that the steps you're taking are commendable and wise. However, I'm curious about the preparations you made before daring to submit that proposal. Did you have to rely on close associates to assist you in the subsequent processes if it indeed moves forward? And is your knowledge of cryptocurrency sufficient to elucidate the significance of the proposal you've presented to them?

Since I joined this forum, I have been encouraged to take the knowledge I have gathered over here and in life to my people especially to my younger ones back home having recognized the global adoption of Bitcoin technology, I took the initiative to propose to the state Governor the introduction of Bitcoin technology into our secondary school system as a core entrepreneurship subject.
I so much appreciate your efforts in taking bitcoin in a higher dimension in your region for people to benefit from bitcoin.  Bitcoin  technology something that is very important for young people to know,  it will help people and add a better value to them. It is so nice to accomplish this goal by getting to reach the governor of your state and for him to accept bitcoin without rejection. Young people really need bitcoin because bitcoin is taking over the monetary system of the new generation.

Wow, this one is really huge and never thought of getting to know about such a thing happening, like OP you went to the government, that's really impressive I must say and I admire your courage. With this act I believe in less than no time we would be hearing other governors taking a bold step to implement the use of bitcoin in our country and before you know everybody are talking and making use of it, I just imagine workers being paid with Bitcoin. Nice one OP.

I continue to be amazed by Nigerian people, by enthusiasm, openness to Bitcoin and such a strong spirit of taking things into their own hands. Of course, it's related to the op personally, this strong and brave decision to submit a proposal to the Governor's Office, and it's wonderful that such people exist and have the will to do things that can benefit a lot of people.
But I feel like this forum has really shown me that Nigeria has many strong pro-crypto people, although this is the first time I see a post where a person's trying to convince the government rather than do things despite what the authorities think.
When you live in Nigeria and you walk amongst the common people, get to know the people, the struggle they face and the awareness of your environment, it’s hard not to think for the common good of the masses as a morally just individual.

It just gets bad when, Nigerian citizens that once walked in the shoes of the nothingness majority of its poor masses face, forget the struggles of a time past, only to dwell on the success of today through marginalization and stealing of the common wealth of the people. Just a few do this and the law haven’t really been on the side of its citizens in setting things right against the corruption within the political ranks. Instead, you find them using it against themselves with regards to support and political parties.

In all, Nigerians continues with there daily struggles, picking interest and opportunity in the cryptocurrency industry and social media to better there lives. It’s explosive and trying to do the best for once’s self and the people is what we do.

Here's what I'm concerned about, does the OP really have enough knowledge about bitcoin to be able to answer every question if he has to explain it to the board before it is considered for approval? Like cryptocurrency hearings at US congressional sessions, a series of questions are difficult to answer and always cause controversy, so they have not yet made a common decision.

So I think, if OP does not prepare carefully, his plan will be very difficult to come true. Introducing bitcoin into education means revising the curriculum, which is not an easy task to undertake.

That's crazy AF.
Here, we all just keep murmuring about adoption and all and you guys are actually doing something in order to not just let BTC be adopted in the place alone, but also be taught to the students so that they understand the technology and divert their time and energy into crypto as well in order to wide-handedly welcome this industry and take their economy to the next level. Hats off to you buddy for what you did (and are still doing) and kept BTC ahead of everything. 🙏

Wow this is so motivating! Thanks for this wonderful idea; I have been looking for a way to push for Bitcoin inclusion in our children's education. I guess you just gave me the idea on how this can be achieved. I will try to make this proposal in Rivers State where I come from.... I will try to access the governor through the deputy that happens to come from the same locality with me.

Our students really need to embrace this amazing technology as most of the syllabus are obsolete. Blockchain technology integration into the syllabus will open their eyes to the tech world and also give many of them the opportunity to even start  accumulating Bitcoin.

Wow, this is amazing OP. It's really nice to know we still have people like you around. Considering the fact that the government is so against Bitcoin, you still had the courage to make this proposal. That's so cool. And I'm guessing you're a man of high status to be able to do this...¿
Anyways, it's really nice you involved the state government, making it more formal, but just in case the Nigerian government doesn't stop being " the Nigerian government " ... I saw a comment that suggested you make it a private endeavor. That'll even make children more optimistic about learning it, cause they will individually apply to your boot camp, instead of learning in school which they see as a by-force thing and may lose interest.

Actually, it's going to look like a by-force thing, but it's still optional. In the trade courses or subjects you have the option of selecting whatever course you intend to do. But what is more important is the fact that you must take at least one of the subjects. A Trade subject that you would participate in. For instance, you can either apply for Data processing, Furnitures, Welding, amongst other options that you have. The subjects in itself is a core subject that you must pick. Nevertheless, you have the opportunity of selecting whatever field of the Trade subject, i.e Bitcoin Technology.

As to whether I should make it private or public, it's just something that I am still considering, but the earlier would come if and only if the government have not responded the way I wanted, but I am very optimistic at this point in time that the government is going to listen to the Proposal that I have given to them and that they will be calling me in due time and I'm  also going to try to follow up to see that I get the response that I need from the government, but As for private? whether I will go private. It demands a lot of money and investments before we can achieve that and that's not something that I think one is fully prepared for. For now. So let's just watch out and be hopeful for the best.

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly
This is impressive move ops,  pushing for Bitcoin adoption by government is one fight that needs all the encouragement and seeing that you went as far as booking an appointment with the governor is an awesome move.


I can see that is easy to access government officials in your region and I encourage you to take out the time to properly educate the governor on the importance of allowing Bitcoin as an alternative.  

That's true as in our country talking with governor is not as simple as op done and also the governor does not listen patiently about such concerns.

Op is lucky and bold enough that he describes each and everything about bitcoin to governor of a country and he accepted it without any reason.

The step is very beneficial because bitcoin investment will surely put profitable effects on the economy of an individuals as well as country.

Why cover the face of the Governor if the information is already public knowledge and you’re still going cite the source where you got the photo from? I’m from Nigeria and I know how difficult it is as a constituent to meet with our representatives in government, much more a Governor of a state. It makes me wonder on what capacity did you visit the Governor? Are you also a politician or just a concerned citizen with a vision for the state. If it’s the later, I doubt your story because I know my country.

I believe the Op is a politician because you can't stay with the governor of Niger State like this and collect even a handshake, only politicians have the privilege of speaking with the governors I am very happy that you shared this idea with the governor of Niger state, and I hope that soon or later they will accept Bitcoin and the students will learn about it. It is a good opportunity for the secondary school students to learn about Bitcoin from an early age, and it will be a great achievement for the students and citizens, and the country will begin to improve significantly, You demonstrate that you are a decent Nigerian citizen by working to improve your country I am sure he will go and have some conversation with other governors before him can approve it.

It's an effort that's worth trying mate, regardless of your closeness to the government. You can still try. The core believe I had before taking on this move was that, whether they were going to recieve the idea with two hands or not. I think that is the major thing to do. I naturally wear a yellow thinking hat which gives me the optimism to keep pushing the tides and limitations against all odds. I suggest you wear the same hat and make a trial.
