Yes, if you check the Nigeria local board request, you will see that we demanded for the boards we wanted, but I think I may not be totally right, which led to the few suggestions I posted above. Your opinion will really be needed in this, let us all suggest the boards we want on our local board individually and we will later arrive at the same opinions which think is the best.

You have good suggestions. I checked some countries that have local board already, the name of the country and/or their official language is their main board while other boards are child-boards. But you will notice that Bitcoin discussion is embedded automatically on their main board, even if we are going to have child-boards, Bitcoin discussion will (I may not be right) not be among because bitcoin discussion will automatically be on our main board which would be 'Nigeria' or ('Pigin, English') Nigeria. That is what I am try to bring up, how did you see it?

Please, let us individually suggest how we want the board and the child-boards should look like, to know if I will still edit the boards requested for.

For example

Main board
'Nigeria' or ('Pigin, English') Nigeria

Child-boards
Marketplace
Altcoins
Off-topic

So, it will be good if everyone of us can make our own suggestion individually.

Although, not necessary to have all the child boards we want at the start, we can later request for more or if it is not beyond the capability of the local board moderator(s).

@Mpamaegbu, I know you do not want to quote me or involve in anything I bring up here, you know you are one of the established Nigerian on this forum, it will not be good if you do not have input about how our local board should look like. Just let us find a way to accept our differences in a way to achieve our aim which is local board. I will be glad if you consider this request and make your suggestions either in Pidgin or English.

Baba this options are great e go make sense to have all these child boards too make the board and discussion dey go the appropriate section instead of writing everything on the same thread. I don't know if e go makes sense to include it on the requesting thread. And na since na pidgin we dey at advantage to get a mod from here too cus you must appoint a mod who can speak and understand pidgin very well.


Lol, you too much I understand I've been trying to do it since last week but na laziness been dey worry me to collect data so finally I did it last night, started from 9PM till 3AM and finished up at 6 AM. Just contributing my little way.

Gofment dey track the wrong guys. Dem all sabi demselves and those wey dey steal and commit the economic sabotage but gofment nor go gree go after dem. Na just average and below average guys dey always suffer for gofment hand with all these dem yeye policies.


Igehhh!!! Igehhh!!! Igehhh!!!

Walahi, ororo dey your head oh. Oya, kneel down anywhere you dey right now, even if na for main road, make I pour anointing for your head join. Mehn! Nicely done data and graph. We need more of this among us. More graphic guys! So, even owa late comrade, Beckky666, still make the list as active poster months after im die go. E really show sey Beckky gave his best here d little time wey im dey with us. Na big challenge be dis for those of us wey still dey alive but dey shy away from owa own corner. Abeg, make we sit up and begin come back home like prodigal children. Nothing sweet pass home. Igehhh, you deserve betta wata for this thread and I nor get colele wata from fridge now. I must  pour you enough wata once d thing show my side. Weldone, doh!

Great suggestions.
Firstly, AFAIK, anyone can bump a thread as far as they do not abuse the system.

About suggested boards, you also suggested good options, but I think it would depend hugely on wetin the administration think. If they one open the board without moderators then creating different child boards may be a bit much to manage, especially as other staffs no go understand pidgin English which would be accepted. In such case, a general 'everything goes' board would be preferable.

But, of course we need to already have our proposition which the admins can accept or reject, and on that note, I'm in agreement with your suggestions.

Good work @Igehhh.

About the bumping the local board request on meta board, I will gladly do that every first day of the month. I am not sure if it is only the thread creator that can be able to pump a thread but I did not see such rule on the unofficial rules of the forum, if others can bump it and I did not do it when appropriate, it is also advisable for such member but vatetan like you, CryptopreneurBrainboss, Upgrade00, and any other Sr member rank and above that knows already how not to abuse bumping to do it.

I am also suggesting something, the the boards requested for are:

1. Bitcoin discussion
2. Altcoin discussion
3. Off topics

This happen to be when we were in rush than what we have actually planned ahead, it can be accurate enough, but we need to seek the opinion of others for suggestion, I have noticed we discuss more about economy, politics and society too which we need to fit into a broad board.

When I took a look at India local board, I noticed that they have only one main board which is 'India', I am thinking we can have just one main board which will be 'Nigeria', which we will be have discussion about Nigeria-crypto related discussions in which Bitcoin discussion, exchanges, crypto-economy and many others can fit in. Making others child-boards like marketplace (which will really need), Altcoin discussion and off-topic.

I am not implying this is perfect enough, but I think it is what we should discussed about. Please leave your suggestions here to know certain adjustment we can make.

[Chart]Yearly, Monthly & Weekly Overview Of The Unofficial Nigeria Local Board

Are you sure Bitcoin needs local bank to function? In my opinion, I do not think so. I get the point that Bitcoin is superior to fiat is the reason people has preferred it to be used instead of fiat, but if you travel, you can easily still be able to convert your Bitcoin to fiat in the country you travelled to, this negates the use of local (Nigerian) banks, although provide Bitcoin is not deemed illegal in the country the Nigerian travelled to, unlike China.

Even the unbanked users will provide their national identity-linked phone numbers for verification, the phone number which is linked to their NIN, national identity which is enough for verification process on any centralized platform, I still do not know how this is different from providing ID card itself.

But, I noticed I can use another person's NIN for the sim registration, example is the use of Mr A NIN to help Mr B that has no NIN (but this is very risky), which means another name is used for the sim registration and another name on the national ID card but used and it worked. I am very certain this can work, I hope scammers will not still take advantage of this method as they are very wise and people can be foolish.

Yet, this will be privacy depriving, I am hoping the blockchain will not be available to the public, or no blockchain will be used, I still do not know how e-naira will work in a way someone's data will not be available to the public after the KYC can be known and linked to the owner.

It is very possible to get access to your bank account from anywhere in the world via Mastered card and Visa card make we no condemn bank just because some of their customers are just stupid, these cards were implanted to solve problems like this one. Most of the Afghan wey get Mastered or Visa still get access to their money while those ignorance. Bitcoin is the new freedom but Bitcoin still need local bank to function because you still need to convert local fiat to Bitcoin.



Just a means to monitor our finance inflow mad outflow just the way banks are penetrating incoming transactions now even all the NG betting platform you must perform KYC for a large withdrawal amount now. They are just tracking everything. Fuck their e-naira.

I just think this will be of help to many of us to read, e-naira CBDC is nothing more than naira but could be more privacy-depriving in design.

My guy dis don tay wey e dey happen na. How u think say the boko people dey get info wey dey make dem attack military convoys. Naija cast and dere is a language undertone wey we never code. As to link, I no get am but e always dey news.

What if some decided to never return? I believe some people may not be able to have access to their money again all because they are not in the country no more. What I am just trying to pinpoint is the fact that Bitcoin and other legit cryptocurrencies can offer convenience, you have nothing to be worried about. If you use a noncustododial wallet, you have the full control over your money, unlike depending on banks that are just operating in only just your country that will lead to inconveniences in such time even if you will still later find a way to access the fiat.

CryptopreneurBrainboss is completely right. We know how ₦aira is so depreciative as the Nigerian government are manipulating the price, but what Brainboss simply mean is how people will have absolute control over their money instead of saving naira in bank. Although, naira is so depreciative but the comment is about control.

Can you post the link to read this useful information, I know the government did accepted repentant terrorists, but I never read government are recruiting them into Nigerian military forces, but this is likely possible and should be of concern to the southern political leaders.

E no get how, bitcoin wan carry stand well if banks no dey. No be every body way go dey suffisticated for life, if you cef check the villages if you be person way dey travel o, you go see say, no how way granny them wan carry understand watin be bitcoin and blockchain. If you like, teach them from today till the life wan end for them side. Most of them cef, them never fit answer call and make calls finish, talk more of to understand bitcoin. So, fiat dey help wella and na fiat be banks. That now na em show say, e no get how the life wan soft for us way be say, the banks no suppose join body to make things dey okay. We need them pass watin we know!

Me I don dey reason am say the reason wey go make naija government dey declare people wey dey yarn true about dis insecurity and boko wahala wanted means gofment leg dey inside am. The tin tire me oo.

How dem go say some boko members don repent and them go put them for army. This na calamity, error wey dey clear. I don begin see why pepo say na Islamic parole be this and the tin just dey waka dey come, no be small.

Congratulations again pokapoka124, but in addition there are also alot of insecurity in the east, a state in the south eastern part of Nigeria, had a situation where all petroleum and gas filling station went on strike because of their grievance with the state government, and the governor could be had saying that it's citizens can go to neighboring state to get their fuel or gas for basic needs, this summarizes the government concern for their citizens in Nigeria.

My broda, nor be small thing oh. Dis day I nor dey even like listen to Nigeria news on radio because d thing dey depress me anytime wey I do. Na one looting or killing or the oda na im persin dey always hear with no solution in sight. Owa leaders dem all be d same, no way forward for d country. But when d fia wey dem dey try set up go catch, e go burn everyone of dem, walahi. Shebi military don declare dat Colonel wey expose how Biko Haram take dey operate and sey na top people dem dey behind am to the public. Instead of Bubu and im people to sit up, na to declare d man wey talk true wanted. Shey na so cowtry wey wan progress dey behave?

No matta how wey we nor like banks because of Bitcoin, we still need to realise sey without banks (fiat) we nor go fit survive with Bitcoin. In fact, to make Bitcoin relevant na im make dem dey fit pair am with $$$. Bitcoin nor fit stand on its own sef without fiat. So, we need bank very much. At least for Africa, we need am wella. Even you Brainboss, if I wan run parole with you now, shebi na through bank we go still do am 🤷

On a realistic note bank is still a very secured institute make we no denied that fact bank still controls about 98% of the world population salaries, even if bank get burnt you money is still secured cause bank dey act as insurance company too. The fled afgan many not be able go get access to their bank app to make transfer via restrictions but I'm sure their credit card were not cut off. All these unrest no too affect the banking system it's still up and running.


Bank will never steal your money for no reason na through banking programs and maintenance bank dey you charge customers but to collect your money on their own is a NO. Those fled Afgans will still take back their money whenever they return that's just the disadvantage of local banking

There are many Afghans that have been evacuated from Afghanistan that do not want to stay because they are afraid of how the extremists, the Taliban will rule, some even still want to leave the country. I am wondering how those that have left the country will be able to access their money in bank, most likely if they are out of the country forever, that means the bank will be the ones to take the money, even if not, there is more chances that the real owner of the money in bank will not be able to access the funds ever again unless he is back to the country. But bitcoin and other crypto is accessible anywhere we go, we will be able to transact it into any fiat of our choice, this is a great advantage.

Nigeria just dey one kain, the government don successfully corrupt the mind of the average man on the street. I'm amazed when I see people fighting themselves because they are in opposition parties. Everything is politicised in Nigeria, insecurity in the North is also politicised, government is deliberate taking no action to fight the terrorists that terrorize our nation. Instead they give them new names on TV like hoodlums, bandits, herdsmen, unknown gunmen, and offer amnesty to them.
Btw a different matter altogether I want to inform the house that I am now a senior member. Thank you to every naija rep on the forum we are growing higher.
PS Rruchiman edit your post, the quote isn't right.

E shock you? No reason am oh as dis county don finish. Na just cruise and vibe we dey survive on as if you too reason how d country dey be you go just die comot. Nobody dey reason you for Nigeria days why you gas hustle for yourself and your household because no matta wetin you be or dey do, the moment you die go person done replace you and dey din forget your family.

EFCC dey find their own choppings na wetin dey sup be dat, dey don find boys for street now e come dey hard to catch dem as their funds no dey dey with dem again. So dey wan track through banks so dey fit dey get something demselfs chop. E dey like when SARs been don dey take losses so dey come introduced POS doings.

Well unless you no smart, I no understand why you go still dey keep funds for bank abi una no see wetin happen for Afghanistan. Money wey you Jo get control over no be ur own so all the money wey dey bank no be ur own. Keep your fund for Bitcoin and if the bear wan show, you fit trade to stablecoin still keep am for your personal wallet and just dey observe the market assuming those funds you go fit need am urgently.
