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

My friend who visited the east, Owerri to be precise said; If the police picks you up in Owerri, as a young boy, what they will use to scare you to extortion is that you will be tagged one of the "unknown gunmen, shot dead or if lucky sent to prison". It is very scary to be a Nigerian youth.

First of all, not the government that banned bitcoin and other decentralized currencies in Nigeria, in fact, there is nothing coming from the senators and house of representative concerning cryptocurrencies for now, nothing like banning cryptocurrencies in Nigeria. Only CBN banned cryptocurrencies, and this can not be more than disabling direct bank-to-crypto transactions and vice versa. And be it as it may, CBN will always hate cryptocurrencies, only what CBN like is naira.

Nobody can tell if cryptocurrencies will soon be legal in Nigeria or not, but this has to do with politics. No news lately concerning filing a law suit with the CBN about cryptocurrencies. This can be the beginning of CBN forced to accept cryptocurrencies, and I believe CBN will lose. We have a kind of legislative arm that do not know much about cryptocurrencies, they are all primitive and not competent enough (one of the reasons Nigeria is not having good development). No senator yet propose such bill to support cryptocurrencies. They all just remain mute about it and neither opposing it.

The CBN president said crypto transactions are not legitimate, this is false because fiat is not legitimate in design and mostly used in illicit activities.

About when CBN will make crypto transactions legal, who cares? We are still making use of cryptocurrencies and exchangimg it for naira, only that banks that charges ₦100 to ₦200 naira before for direct crypto-to-bank transactions are no more able to charge it again. Then who is losing? Not us.

Do you guys remember the MMM ponzi in 2017, banks hated it because of the steady movement of money between accounts. The same animosity is transferred to cryptocurrency
CBN did not like MMM, but all what I read related to it was that MMM is a ponzi scheme, that it will later collapse and people that invested at the late period will lose. This was what actually happened. CBN just hate cryptocurrencies because they do not know much about it and because of their support for naira. CBN might thought going for cryptocurrencies could lead to devaluation of naira, but if Nigerians are trading with each other (naira to crypto and vice versa), there is no way this should lead to naira devaluation in my opinion, but just a way more Nigerians will invest and make profit.

Will nigeria cryptocurrencies again

Hi everyone, it has been more over 9 months nigeria ban crypto, is crypto going to legalize in nigeria again, it is taking took long time, I think it will only be less than 5 months before it will good back but there is nothing good now about crypto in nigeria. Crypto will have known more in nigeria but the government plans is to make crypto illegal as I see it now.

I am thinking the government nigeria is having a bad thing about crypto what they will still bring up to make sure nigeria people do not crypto again. Will crypto be like like china in nigeria or government will legalize it?
Nigeria government has a love-hate relationship with cryptocurrency. They don't understand it so they hate it, they see the hype so they love it. There is no strong stance on the matter. The banks are the ones pushing for the ban. Do you guys remember the MMM ponzi in 2017, banks hated it because of the steady movement of money between accounts. The same animosity is transferred to cryptocurrency

The way sars officials police arrest young people is for no reason is alarming.
Police dey worry well well, i nor fit talk for other states, but for the PH side my brother's and sister's, dem dey worry too much.

This might soon be the fate of Nigeria. We borrow ridiculous loans every year for projects that are not executed.
Unto the borrowing matter, Nigeria is almost seeming to be as a business venture where a few elite individuals dey milk the country of all that they can to ensure that the country is in a sorry state intentionally, how will change really come to Nigeria is the big question i always ask myself. With the plenty borrowing, our government is just selling our freedom.

In all this matter, the issue with the borrowing be say, na the thing way them dey carry  do. If e been con turn up say, after them borrow this money, them carry am do watin go add better value to we nation and them complete the project, e for sure scatter. At least, we the citizens for see say, one sector don dey covered and na only maintaince go be our concern.

Instead, na to borrow money to repair presidential jet! How that kind matter wan help me? Omo, if the money no dey again, make e fly first class. Chop the embarrassment small, we don too suffer for politician selfish comfort.

If e get any kontry way see politics true-true as dirty game, na we kontry naija. As you just enter, you don dey device scheme, dey fine cartel way you go join, make you from there dey chop. Omo, e choke I swear, anyhow way person talk or reason, nothing still dey change and na that one bad pass.
Our leaders will sell us to China if the borrowing without any good development continues, a time is coming when the government will not be able to handle it again if they continue to borrow more, they are forgetting that wealth can buy a nation.


Police sabi yahoo boys no be by going out with palasa or not, who does dat  Shocked
If you no comport yourself, by moving when others are moving, going to the right places then na you dey open yourself up. Na person wey open im mouth say make dem see im long teeth, na I'm teeth long pass be that.

Exertly my point imagine say you just dey hide your harmless wallet for a calculator hiding app or others and ever funds in that wallet you can account that you got it from a legal source, then due to duress and intimidation, them come force you to open the hiding app, because of their suspicion, then you open am for them to see the wallet, I no think sey you get talk anymore, because a clear mind shouldn't be hiding things, just know how our police system works and be very vigilant.

You just better dey careful, even now sey them get apps to hide some content of your phone, infact this update is old, and police has been able to over come am
This is a very good idea in my opinion. Someome can be able to use the method to get pass some police but this might not be in all cases as some will also be very smart. Hiding apps and later discovering it is an indication of the person having illegal activities on his device, even if the person is clean, seeing some hidden apps will make the person unclean and more investigations will follow. This can be a means even innocent person come dey buy wahala for himself.

Zna true nobi bad tin to kip your phone or lappi for house, dis go help remain pure to the police
I do not care about Yahoo Boys having this way of life but we know how Nigeria can be so corrupt, to protect yourself, you really need privacy, to have privacy in this regard, you need to avoid the police as some of them are now looking for crypto enthusiasts in the country in a way to extort him of money. So better having privacy will help by just leaving your phone, tabs and computers with crypto applications and browsing history at home. Although, I still have my phone with me anytime I am going out with no disturbance, but I am only confident about this anytime I am in my area, not when traveling.

Instead, na to borrow money to repair presidential jet! How that kind matter wan help me? Omo, if the money no dey again, make e fly first class. Chop the embarrassment small, we don too suffer for politician selfish comfort.
To be sincere in my opinion, the money borrowed are beyond buying presidential jet or repairing etc, but just that nothing is changing in Nigeria just as you are not happy about it also we did not. Nigeria suppose to be a very giant nation in Africa, but incompetent leadership has crippled the country into poor standard nation with stunted development.

Please I go fall body for this matter, right now even if you show police your proof to be a crypto-currency enthusiast them no go let you go, them recently beat one of my guy blue black because him been no one show them him binance application, so as me dey go our activities make we carry caution on top our head, they just one get crypto-currency out of the way completely to the extent dem one see crypto-currency as part of cyber crime.



In any where you are try to be friend to have power, police are yahoo guys friends. If you have been with the yahoo boys you will know how I am the right. I have the way I am doing it, I hide my crypto app now, you can not see it on my phone, it will take more investigation before they can see it, if they see it, I use pattern require to unlock before the app to know to them. My phone uses only password to unlike but the app to unhidden need only pattern. I can tell them I don't know the pattern again if I like, I do not use it for phone the reason.




This might soon be the fate of Nigeria. We borrow ridiculous loans every year for projects that are not executed. We, citizens have come to see corruption as a normal way of life which is wrong. A thread on Twitter sometime ago was about each Nigeria is estimated to owe about 50,000 naira. I used to think its a joke but reading this article today I am having second thoughts



Who cares,I don't care, a home is a place where some is and see comfort, I drop not bad if I have enough money and travel to a country with greener pasture, but a place that is not full of racist. If they tell you Nigeria can be good, it is a lie.


Africans have all needed but prefer to be too much dependent on other continents, that is why they are the poorest continent. Presently, we are in the era of sapa in Nigeria.


When they don't have brain, the ones that have brain are not like politics, if they like it they will be killed. Another election will be coming, the citizens will sell their right for just 5000 naira again.

The increased means of taxing and increased tax as been a tool the government had deployed for servicing foreign debt.

Just that the money that supposed to be used for the development of Nigeria are used for servicing loan (not even only from China but also from other countries that Nigerian government borrowed from). Federal Republic of Nigerian government has increased taxes and still planning to look for more ways to tax citizens. Gas did not just increased in price, it was because the taxed that was subsidized (or not included before, but I do not know) has been added and people are paying it, even value added tax from service providers and the likes have increased. Also is another bill (PIB) which has been passed and signed by the president few months ago which is a means petrol price will be increase.

E no go suprise me if it's happens, the Chinese Government no be philanthropist they are wise in business, and if na patience them get am very well when it comes to an investment.
The loans wey our government see a sey them dey collect from this chinese government would be repaid, and as for me no be by money, because the uses for the loan no get head, and many time them dey embezzle the whole funds, I really dey worried about the future outcome of the business our government and the Chinese Government they run.

This might soon be the fate of Nigeria.
This is just the fate of Nigeria, borders were closed, naira master card international monthly spending was reduced all the way from over $3000 to only $100 in this present government time until later that it was increased to $200. These are just few of the inconveniences, but, yet, high inflation that is resulting to reducing naira purchasing power as a result of naira declination in value. The country is not yet good with all the primitives and archaic idea from the government leaders after inconvenienting the citizens.

This is just the case to Nigeria, despite all the taxes collected now and its increasing value, yet the federal government has turned borrowing from foreign countries into a common practice. Some Nigerians will say 'e go better', okay, let us see how it would with lack of foresight in technology and country development.

Africans have all needed but prefer to be too much dependent on other continents, that is why they are the poorest continent. Presently, we are in the era of sapa in Nigeria.

First he was accused as a yahoo boy, they searched his phone and found binance and trust wallet. They transferred his money from his trust wallet to an address. They couldn't transfer from binance because of 2FA. So guys stay woke! Crypto/forex trading us criminal in the eyes of Police. "They hate what they do not understand"

Did you know that the police are friends to of yahoo boys, I can not say all that I have seen for my account not to be investigated, the police are friends to yahoo. Nobody can just say they are informants when efcc is coming. If you do not know the way in Nigeria, the holy ones will suffer when police and the boys are drinking beer together. Have you seen a police before that stop their car because the boys are walking, they tell the boys why are you not with your car that are you going to this direction. The boys did not enter the car saying this is where I am going to pointed to somewhere in the front they all smiled together. But the one not yahoo will be suffered because he do not know the way.

Have you look up Jumia? You can find some offline wallet there as well there was a link Charles-Tim posted on this thread about jumia selling those Leno and ledger but if the site offers shipping directly to Nigeria then e also make sense, don't worry about custom service I'm sure 98% of have not seen or know the use of it.

I want to order for ledger nano wallet from the ledger nano company directly, is it a good idea? I can see that they can ship the wallet to Nigeria in few days, the wallet is not expensive for me, I want to buy it. What I am fear of now are the custom not to seize the wallet because the cbn ban crypto in nigeria. Is it good idea to order for ledger nano when cbn ban bitcoin.

Thank you

Have you considered the cost of shipping and the delivery duration? I think shipping from far away nations takes minimal 20-25 days to get it shipped to Lagos except you chooses to use Airshippment which is quite expensive. Have you ever seen a case where shipping fees are bigger than material carted?
Yes, I considered the cost. If it is Ledger Nano, there are free shipping for most of their products as I explained above, while the shipping can be set to free but it will truly take longer weeks. If someone is in need of one urgently, the person will like go for the alternative means like buying from Jumia directly in Nigeria which may likely take days too depending on the state the person is reciding. But Ledger Nano S on Jumia is very expensive.

There is a common online store that is frequently used by Nigerians but based in US that always do have these kind of products. See how cheaper the price of Ledger Nano S is on the site including the shipping and the custom fee. For standard shipping, it is ₦7,410 which could take 5-9 business working days while you can still go for express shipping for ₦10,920.00. But it is clearly stated on the site that custom delay might occur whille shipping some items which is normal.


https://www.u-buy.com.ng/product/PEMSNA-ledger-nano-s-the-best-crypto-hardware-wallet-secure-and-manage-your-bitcoin-ethereum-erc20-and-many




Also check it on Amazon but excluding the custom fee, the price is very low.

https://www.amazon.com/Ledger-Nano-Cryptocurrency-Hardware-Wallet/dp/B01J66NF46




I am not using this as a means of encouraging Nigerians to buy from the above sites as they are resellers but just to prove how the price of hardware wallet on Nigeria stores is too much expensive. I will prefer to buy directly from Ledger, prefer free shipping if I order Ledger Nano X, or two or more Ledger nano S. While I can still go for three Ledger Nano S with free shipping for -21% discount.
Thank you

I will order from ledger directly but I am think that sites will be better, Jumia are thieves the price is almost more than double after all the fees are along it.
