Topic: Nigeria Government Detains Two Binance Executives (Read 358 times)
I think Binance now dey challenge dem to release their. Binance said Nigeria Economic does not know how to predict, and manage di economy. A d nai me we dey suffer. Dem say di second Binance officer wey still dey DSS custody no be Binance officer but na contractor wey Binance hire to come and help dem to clear some kind of things in Nigeria and when di gbege happened dem been dey come to settle di matter and investigate di matter na the agency gbabu dem. So make Nigerian government release di American citizen. And make Nigeria no blame dem for devaluation of the naira and the high cost of living and inflation in di land.
Why would they be dumb enough to travel to Nigeria knowing what happened to their former boss CZ after he came to the US?
You cannot trust these corrupt governments. The US is just as bad if not worse than Nigeria when it comes to corruption.
It's not a dump; they came in respect to settling things amicably with the government in order to put things in place and prove that the exchange was not guilty of the first charges that were laid against them (Naira manipulation), but it turns out that it was a perfect means for the country authority to detain them, which was not a proper thing to do. You cannot trust these corrupt governments. The US is just as bad if not worse than Nigeria when it comes to corruption.
Now that the case has been taken to court, those first charges are no longer there; it's now an issue of tax invasion, and all of us can also see the clear picture that Binance was not operating legally. As such, there is every tendency that they are not paying tax. If that's the case, it's not enough to detain those people; they can just sanction the exchange as a whole and take legal action against them.

Our government don't want anything to benefit the youth,for the fact that the two executive of binance is being arrest let them also change it in court ,they don't have anything to do with Nigeria government paying of tax will not have head ,they should release them,and let the platform start working again,they are loosing money already,this is wickness,except the court is being bayals ,that's only when FG will win the case.to me FG is not supposed to win the case
There is no rule of law in Nigeria, this is the reason why all these things are happening. The guy in question that was apprehend by the federal Government isn't part of the Binance team, just a mere collaborators who work as agent to make negotiations with African countries and Binance and we all aware this thing happen everywhere and the government are happy to keep this guy with them, they don't have evidence, they don't have what they are asking Binance to provide, and yet they don't want to free the guy.
If this kind of a thing should happen in western part of the country, a lot of delegates and protest will be happening right now but sadly we can't do anything to help him unless his own country decide to sue the federal government, they wouldn't have choice but to free the guy especially if he is from UK or places like France and US because of the benefits Nigeria government gets from them.

This goverment don't even know what they are doing. Binance is no more in the country why have nothing change about the naira. Naira is still losing value. The next thing they will do now is to stop other exchanges from operating in Nigeria . This goverment don't want to take responsibility to their challenges instead they want to fault everything other people. This goverment is not ready to work If they can't start solving problems than looking for who to blame.
I have long anticipated this particular event between the Nigeria government and binance to take place in the future which is happening now. I remember in my previous comments on a topic created here and the other platform where I said that the government would soon begin clamp down on binance just to get the list of Nigerians registered on their platform since their inception and here it is taking shape. I believe all these fight like I Initially said is just to get at binance to pay tax of all the transaction charges they've been benefitting from Nigeria p2p trade deals.
I believe this is amongst the reasons why the clamp down is taking a different tone altogether and this was the response from the CBN governor when asked about the binance clampdown;
“In the last four years, more than $26 billion have been funnelled through Binance without trace.”
I would not be surprised that some powers that be themselves are into the Crypto currency trade and are just hiding behind playing innocent but doing the unthinkable just to protect or cover up their dirty act with the funds under their custody.
In all, the major reasons behind this scuffle is just taxation. The Nigeria government just wants binance to pay tax of all transactions they have conducted on the Nigeria binance p2p platform which they want to benefit from that's all. That is a huge amount of money which they know themselves could benefit from through channeling it to other means in the name of projects and other engagements.
My concern now is this, would the federal government charge binance to pay for tax in arrears right from their inception and also charge Nigerians registered with binance to pay tax in same fate as they have begin to put pressure on binance to give them list and details of Nigerians registered with them right from their inception.

Our government with their way of indulging in extortion in a form of a way I called misplaced priority, their could have been a better way of lifting the economic downtime than the way they are going about it, corruption at the highest order. Definitely are we are going to grow a thicker skin for survival. What a country political leaders without vision and plans for their citizens. Their actions can never add values to the economy it has always been their selfish interest.
Of a truth it has always been their selfish interest and self agenda first. They do not think about the average citizens of the country. All these tit for tat fight going on now with binance is just to get their own share of the cake by imposing tax on crypto related transactions as the case may be but binance objected because they are not benefiting from the p2p transactions as it is done with zero (0) fee and federal government decided to tag it to be a currency devaluation battle to cover up their exposed intentions.
Of lately, binance decided to cut of all engagement with NGN on their platform. No more NGN trading pairs and I pray they do not decide to bar Nigeria from operating with binance because if they do that, it would be a bit inconvenience for some people but both parties would have to bear whatever that comes out as the result of their actions.

on February 27, 2024, Olayemi Cardoso, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), said $26 billion passed through Binance Nigeria from unidentified sources in one year.
Cardoso said the apex bank is collaborating with the SEC to ensure there is no manipulation in the FX market.Nigeria intensified its crackdown on cryptocurrency by detaining two executives of Binance, the prominent crypto trading platform that authorities allege enabled the naira currency’s slide to record lows this month.
The arrest, first reported by the Financial Times on Wednesday, follows a move last week that saw telecom providers shut off user access to the websites of Binance, Coinbase and other crypto exchanges. Crypto platforms have been scaling down services in Nigeria in the period since. On Wednesday, Binance stopped offering peer-to-peer trades that allowed users to exchange the naira for USDT, a digital currency pegged to the U.S. dollar.
The federal government probably are looking for recognition and partnership with binance maybe you tell ,. They feel that binance makes a whole lot of money from Nigerians with no accountability
I see many post talking on this platform about Nigeria government banning Crypto currency which is baseless. For the upteenth time, Nigeria government never banned crypto. I understand that the government are trying to tackle binance to seeing how they could get their own share of the cake but the step taken was the wrong one. And it would never give them what they are looking for as binance already short down the Nigeria p2p platform.
The Nigeria government are complaining of binance abetting the naira crash, so I ask,is binance the one running the economy of the nation. How does binance p2p correlates with Nigeria production and consumption economy?
The old boys out there are just samba boys that want's to cut all corners to get their own share of the cake.
Di executives neva dey charged, but fit face allegations of currency manipulation, tax evasion and illegal operations,
E no necessarily be arrest per say, Meetings and discussions dey go on. E na national security issue and na interagency process dey go on.
On Tuesday, central bank Governor Olayemi Cardoso claim say Binance Nigeria move $26 billion dollars worth of untraceable funds, so make we wait for the outcome before we go know where and how to criticize.

How did Federal government know that more than $26 billion has been funneled through P2P without a trace and yet they kept quiet all this while and they're just waking up now, insane.
The federal government did not shut down Binance, as they have not said, but rather binance is up and workingand the only issue is that Binance should give them a list and details of Nigerians domiciled with them for further investigations.
It is unfortunate that such a thing is happening in this current dispensation. I must say that I am highly disappointed by the act of the Nigeria government detaining the officials from binance. It does not portrays a good name for Nigeria as a whole. I also noticed that binance did removed the NGN p2p after they received the news that their staff were detained in Nigeria. Possibly that triggered the removal of the NGN p2p trade.
Things of this nature happens when the leadership and executives are bereft of ideas on how to stabilise the economic challenges of their nation. They just look for somewhere or someone to hold and point at as the reasons for such demeanour. This is the current situation between the Nigeria government and binance.
Now tell me, is binance the finance minister of Nigeria? Is binance running the economy of the nation? Is binance amongst producers in the nation?, is binance responsible for formulating the economic policy of the nation?
Who ever gave them that idea of going after binance and holding them responsible for the naira fall really made them a laughing stock and a mess.
Sometimes I begin to imagine the kind of country we are into, a country where the government don't think twice before taking any action even with the present hardship her citizens are facing they are still finding other means to worsten to present situation, because there action won't help resolve or bring solution to the high cost of things in the country.
Though the government might think that stoping binance exchange will be of a help since they noticed that a lot of P2P trillion usdt transaction were going on according to the government that unknown Nigeria citizens exchanging their funds from naira to usdt in buck using binance they went and put a stop to it. Thinking they can stop the money laundry going on online away from the county but not knowing they are hurting other innocent traders and suffering the poor masses.

This issue was once discussed sometimes ago when the government ban cryptocurrency in Nigeria, a lot of person argued that it won't happen again that the present administration love crypto. Whatever the reason maybe , I desire is that it should be for the good of the citizen and crypto users.

The federal government actually put a ban on crypto as a result of their ignorance, and after taking time to conduct thorough studies on the crypto market, they finally opened it so that they could begin to benefit from the crypto market.

As for the money aspect, the federal government is privy to information in time and can act upon it as it may. That amount of money can be released at any time by the federal government to anybody who has the means to have it. Do not forget that the apex bank is owned by the federal government, so they will be very much in the know if money moves out and comes into the country at any point in time.

This is funny though after they banned crypto transactions for couple of years and they're looking for whom they will now collect taxes from, something they should have find away to do since and what they did was banning any crypto related transactions in the bank then.
Since the Federal government has succeeded in shutting down Binance I trust users will switched into using other P2P exchange platforms to run their transactions.

Nigerian government is only active when they are supposed to be observing and when they are going to be observing, that's when they react. Now that they have arrest this two people and then there respective government ask Nigeria to release them, they don't have choice than to comply because one of them is from UK and the other is from Nigeria and where exactly have they broken the law. They came down to Nigeria to have a talk with the scrutiny of the NGN/USDT that the government is accusing them of manipulation only for them to be detained, that's nonsense.
The government is asking Binance to provide all the Nigerian kyc like they have a formal document that bind them, they never welcome Binance officially even though Binance has been compliance with KYC to avoid money laundering but the government are been shitty as if they are the only country that do crypto activity.

It's a pain in the eyes seeing how the Nigerian government take their actions all in the name of trying to restore the naira to a good shape. All what they have done is so stupid and I can't even imagine that such is coming from educated persons. First of all they had to deceive the binance officials and then detained them, as if that wasn't enough they are still asking for list of name of every Nigerian who has used their p2p before, what are their reason for this? Are they planning on imposing tax on binance users who are Nigerian?

D governments have taken a very tragic step to help the economy of the country but does it even make sense the step they’ve taken to make everything enter again. Detaining binance executives will only make things worse for them again because it is a misplaced priority which when they later realise, it will be too late for them to cover for this times wasted on something irrelevant. You cannot solve problem by coming up with a strategy that has no meaningful impact in what is been trying to solve. Let’s just pray that things get better because I don’t see a solution through this from the government. Now youths that get a a source of living through there have now lost their jobs.
