Nigerian government wanna monopolize the economy.
A country that has no vital infrastructure for the citizens.
A country that sees the betterment of its citizens as a crime.
Their adviser keeps getting it wrong.
How can a country ban crypto?

How do you move money from your Nigerian bank account to a Crypto account? Or how do you withdraw from a Crypto wallet?

Yes, you can bypass it but that's a whole lot of stress

The CBN felt threatened cos they are losing people to Crypto. People are transferring the money in their bank account to where it will be beneficial for them but the government hate to see it. Truth is they can’t control what they don’t understand. Bitcoin is going no where.

Why would I just be keeping money in the bank for them to be removing stupid charges. When I can put the same money in crypto and make more money.

Of course, the Central Bank was always going to ban bitcoin.

I've always told you guys that the people in charge of Nigeria are not interested in Nigeria's prosperity (they'll be fine no matter how poor Nigeria is).

Their obsession is with controlling Nigeria.
