Perfect example why we should not use a service just because it is promoted by our favorite celebrities.
1xbet attract people because of thier high odds and profits to be made
It is good to do our own research we should not believe in others, advertisement has been a way to market businesses but advertisers do not know how legit the business is, they only advertise and get paid for the advert. Advertising is one of the ways scammers are getting happy today. I have only used nairabet, bet9ja and merrybet before after I make my research, 1xbet is not from Nigeria I can not use it. Nigeria has good betting sites, why people going to fake ones.

1xbet Alleged Scam
In recent times, participants of 1xbit campaign are given negative tags for promoting b1xbit. Some have link the company 1xbit with 1xbet as owned by the same person. Although there hasn't been sufficient evidence to prove this.
Here is the story.
Quote
There was chaos and unrest in Yaoundé, Cameroon recently after a man reportedly won 13 billion CFA Francs ($22 million) on 1xBet but wasn’t paid. It was gathered that the man played a bet with $350 (200,000 CFA Francs) and won the 13bn CFA Frans/22 million dollars, but, rather than pay him the money, the sports betting company allegedly closed and deleted his account.
When he visited the office to complain, they offered him
$687,000 (400 million CFA Francs).
He was said to have rejected it and demanded the original sum but the betting company reportedly refused.
The man went to inform people in his neighbourhood and
this provoked youths who then stormed the Sports betting centre.
It erupted into a riot as youths were said to have wielded weapons demanding that the man be paid his 13 billion
CFA Francs.

I was thinking of using this betting site before, all have been hearing about 1xbet on Nigeria comedians too, it is more rampant and more advertised than crypto exchange. Nigerias should be careful of 1xbit.

If we have nairabet, bet9ja, merrybet and many many Nigerian betting sites that are worthy trust, why should we use 1xbit. Do not use.

That their promo code and x2 return is making me to be afraid of the site 1xbit

I can see from a post that we can check some exchanges on coin market cap and coingecko, I don't see roqqu and patricia, are you sure the exchange are good? Are the exchange local nigeria exchange?

I have see patricia advertised on big brother Nigeria before, I am think it will be good.

I want to ask also are they giving me private key or they will have it? Have you used Patricia before? Hkwnis there service.

I am asking this because I want to support local exchange too.
Roqqu and Patricia are Nigerian owned exchanges. The others are  foreign exchanges (binance, Coinbase), these exchanges are centralized and provide custodial wallets which means you don't have access to your private keys. You entrust your crypto entirely to the exchange. Here you are not in control of your crypto if something should happen to the exchange your crypto goes along with it. That's why it is preferable to use non custodial wallets to store your crypto. You can buy from centralized exchanges but never store on centralized exchanges.
I know little about custodial and noncustododial because custodial do not have private key, that is why I asked the question, thank you.

I registered on Patricia now, it is asking me of my bank details and bvn, that is where I stopped. This will be the last question, how many coins is Patricia is having? Is it better than remitano?

Although often called Bitcoin wallets, services like Coinbase and Circle aren’t true Bitcoin wallets. Customers private keys are held by these third party services, meaning users don’t really have control of their money. As Bitcoiners often say: “if you don’t control the keys, you don’t control the coins”. Mt. Gox is an extreme example, but one that illustrates the importance of holding private keys. Gox was the first and largest Bitcoin exchange up until 2013. Thousands of users stored more than 800,000 bitcoins in their Gox accounts.
At the time, one may have claimed to have 1,000 bitcoins in a Gox account. While true at the time, as soon as Mt. Gox claimed to have been victim of theft users with bitcoins in their accounts were left empty handed. Services like Coinbase and Circle may in fact use good security practices and there’s a chance your bitcoins are safe. But by storing bitcoins with a third party you are always taking on additional risk.

Can I go for exchange advertised in Nigeria by comedians?

I like watching comedy a lot, I noticed comedy have turn to business in Nigeria, all them are doing it for one reason, the reason is to be rich, they are using it for advertising and they are paid.

The question I want to ask is that many exchanges they are advertising I have not heard of the exchanges before, what are you know about the exchanges, are the exchanges safe to use to buy bitcoin true true?

What I mean are crypto exchanges.
Note that most of the comedy skits carry a disclaimer. DYOR the comedians cannot be held responsible for any action from the exchanges. I suggest you use the popular exchanges like binance, Coinbase,  roqqu, Patricia

beside if person invest in such exchange, it is very risk because even the exchange wey people they normally use, there is risk involved.
Even if an exchange is reputed, it is not good to hold on exchanges, it is not the person's key, it is not the person's coin on blockchain, no full control, the exchanges got the full control that can override yours. Noncustodial wallets provide the keys to have the full control by oneself. Offline wallets are the safest, like paper wallet, hardware wallet and wallet on an airgapped device.

I really need an advise and a way forward
It is a scam.




Let me explain a bit further. Like I implied before, it is not your key, if you send coin to that exchange, you will not be able to spend from it, the owners of the fake exchange will have the control because they have the keys, they will only be the one that can spend from the exchange, which means you sending bitcoin to that exchange will definitely lead to you to be a scam victim.

The scam exchange domain was registered (created) less than one and a half month ago on 30th October, which is an indication of how fake it is. Also not listed on Coinmarketcap or Coingecko.

They are local uncommon exchanges. I do not know how these local exchanges are operating but I can not recommend them because they are uncommon exchanges.

If they are operating in a custodial manner, I will not suggest anyone to go for it, if it is not your key, it is not your coin, and the most most important thing is that custodial exchanges can be hacked, if a reasonable amount ify trading volume are met, probably such exchanges can attract hackers and attempting hack, I can not yet trust such exchanges to be capable of resisting hack. It would be best to go for the ones that are more reputed like Binance or go for a decentralized ones like Bisq or Hodlhold.

Never see this as a way of not promoting our local services, but security first.

I suggest you use the popular exchanges like binance, Coinbase,  roqqu, Patricia
I will not suggest Coinbase (Coinbase custodial wallet) because they are not supporting Nigeria, the wallet is restricted and available only in few countries. For example, unsupported countries can not be able to take part in their referral rewards and other benefits, also they can not be able to trade. Coinbase Pro (Coinbase exchange) do not support naira and Nigerians can not register on the exchange.

The comedians are only invited to promote and entertain people during the show nothing much. At the end of it all, they are been paid for the show. Their business with the exchange ends there after the show. Some don't even trade with the exchange they promoted.
Take note* Just because a celebrity or comedian talked about a coin or an exchange doesn't mean it's a good one. Don't be moved by what celebrities or comedians say. Try as much to do your research
Na mostly skit makers they promote crypto-currency exchange for their video, and make I talk my truth, I no trust the genuine nature of those guys, I no fit judge sha but I dey smell a rat for some of them body, e no concern me how them dey make their money, but wetin I know be sey I can never trust any exchange wey those guys they promote, never.

Thank you.

I am too think like that, all the exchange I have not heard before, I will have mentioned some names but I have forgotten all their names. I do my research but I do not see any on any good site. I will not follow this type of exchange. It is good if others are not following them too.

Na true that your friend talk. The way police and army harass people for east e come be like say na war de happen for Imo State. The guns de carry make their heads swell like say de can not die but when it happens they will run. APC succeeded in spoiling this country. They have taken us back to the junta years.

Not only east my brother, I am not know of north but the whole south I am sure the south east, the south west, the south south and south central, police are arresting the innocents in this places. The worst part is that the unemployment in nigeria is higher the before. We are in an unfortunate country. If police know that you are doing crypto, you will see them very soon just to get money from you.

Happy new month
It dey always amuse me to see police or armed force agents criminalise and brutalise Nigerian youths. E dey do me like say, them forget say not quite long ago, them been be youth too. Anything way dey sup for the naija, na our herdsman way seat down for the top dey motivate am. Only him, supported by en wife at one time talk say, Nigerian youths na lazy people. On another instance, e still mention say, job no dey anywhere for government again, say even with your good grade from good school, you no go see nothing.  Omo, that alone don put kontry youth for en side and motivate am to hustle. Then, police way corrupt pass anything, way dey collect money for road, army way no dey stay barracks again, them go con see youth way dey struggle to survive, brand am criminal con steal from am again. God no go shame us!
