Tinubu should give US 48hrs ultimatum to retract their statement else we'll send the full might of the Nigerian army after them!

They should ask Niger how we roll

USA: do as I say and not as I do!



I wonder whether our NASS could have the effrontery to dictate to the US Government to set free someone who is facing legal prosecution in any court in the US.




This act by the so-called US lawmakers amounts to an outright dictatorship to a sovereign country (Nigeria) by a bully nation (USA)!




Only the Nigerian courts can set the Binance executive free if the EFCC fails to prove its case against the defendant.




Make the US lawmakers go and die!

May be that was why FBI directors came to Nigeria to negotiate and plead for their release.
Just may be.

I totally support the government on this.

These crypto platforms kept doing havoc to nations economy and do not want to be held accountable.

Binance has faced several charges in the US, Europe and some Asian countries on similar offences.

What the government is asking for is not much, simply provide them with the details of where over $23b was channelled to and who are the people behind it.

You wonder why Naira kept entrying comatose and terrorists of different sects kept expanding their territories?

Standard Bank is facing similar case of terrorism financing and money laundry in the UK.
But Naira is still heading for N2000 na

Abi dem still dey trade Naira for Binance?

Hmmm. It's well.

It is an illegal platform, and of course with such platform naira is much more devalued. Who can try that in the USA economy, hundred of police officers will storm your house.

Just like AbokiFx website did when the old soldier that ThiefNuibu made president was ruining our currency and economy.

Just as shutting down the AbokiFx website did not help Buhari’s promise of $1 to be N1, so also has arresting Binance not helped the JagaBandit of Aso Rock to make $1 equal to N300 in the short term as promised.

Since Binance P2P was banned, over 3 months now, has Naira regained its value?


You guys are chasing wind.


Binance is not the cause of Nigeria's currency devaluation.


First, Abokifx .com was blamed, that one stopped updating rates since last year and the problem persisted.


Its unfortunate that some Nigerians have allowed these corrupt charlatans in APC government to be deceiving them that it is Binance and currency speculators that made Naira value to fall.


The number one reason Naira value fell is the floating of Naira by Bola Tinubu; our economy is so dependent on import and FX to float the dollar without watering the ground first.


The next reason for Naira free fall is pressure on dollar in Nigeria due to excess dependence on importation, especially petrol importation.


Petrol importation alone gulps more than 60% of the dollars available to Nigeria, then other importation follows.


What a reasonable government with sensible and financial expert cabinet should have done is to study the system before taking the hasty actions Tinubu took on his inauguration just to show that he is an action President.


1.) Tinubu shouldn't have removed petrol subsidy without studying and understanding the implications and how to curtail them from crippling Nigeria's economy.


2.) Tinubu shouldn't have floated the Naira the same time he removed petrol subsidy.


What Tinubu should have done

1.) Legalise all those illegal refineries in Niger Delta instead of allowing overzealous Nigerian securities to burn them down. Legalise them and tell them to start paying tax and give them a window period to move into clean refining to avoid environmental issues


2.) Have an urgent meeting with all the 36 stage Governors and give them a mandate to establish a modular petrol refinery in their states, if it will be difficult for those in the North, you can mandate only those in the South while those in the North are mandated to organize solid mineral mining in their states in collaboration with Minister of Mining, this will further tackle insecurity in the form of Banditry in the North


3.) Have a meeting with Aliko Dangote and ask him to tell you the truth of when his refinery would start producing petrol and find a way to get him to sell to Nigerian market at a discounted rate in exchange for tax haven for a stipulated number of years


4.) Declare Presidential emergency on insecurity especially on Farmer herder clashes and set up a Presidential security taskforce to be headed by yourself, if possible, hire some foreign mercenaries to assist for a stipulated number of months to deal with the issue.


Stand on your ground and tell Fulani herdsmen that the era of rearing cattle via open grazing is over, criminalize it and find ways to assist them transform fully into ranching.



5) Hasten on State Police implementation to boost internal security at least. Because the federal policing system is no longer working and can no longer secure Nigeria internally. Whatever negative effects of State Police can never be compared to the positive effects.


State Policing will help Nigeria to enforce anti open grazing law and it will be very effective than federal Police.


6.) Set up a special taskforce on Agriculture and food production aimed at finding working solutions to help Nigerian farmers to return fully back to farming and also how to attract youth farmers into the system through mechanization, improved security and other incentives.


7.) Find way to get most Nigerian homes, especially those in the cities to move to solar energy system in their homes and offices through partnering with ministry of science, PHCN and other stakeholders to subsidize solar panels and quality batteries and inverters, so that more Nigerian homes and offices will be powered by solar energy, which would reduce the pressure on our national grid and reduce petrol and diesel consumption in Nigeria.


Once you do these things, monitor their progress closely and believe me, there will be super result and dollar will crash and we wouldn't have been in the mess we are in as a country today chasing shadows in the name of fighting corruption that has never helped Nigeria since EFCC was set up.



Tinubu can still implement these ideas, I am open to give them more workable ideas to help revive Nigeria's dying economy
Guy, you are very wise but Nigerians are not ready for your kind of person. You think the politicians don't know what to do to make the country a better place ? There's this joy they derived in making the masses suffer. Even the masses will fight you for trying to bring ideas that will favour them. Just lock up bro and do whatever it takes to make yourself and family comfortable because Nigeria can never get better till the end of the world.

Kindly refer to Corruption Perception Index of countries to see where the US is positioned. Have you been there before? Please be factual when making statements.

Binance executive that was released earlier this week with all charges dropped against him. What was the purpose of the meeting of Tinubu and his security chiefs with the FBI Representative that flew into Abuja from the states at the insurrection of President Biden. This Government is just full of Propaganda. The more you look, The Less you see . Peace ✌️

I feel so sorry for this country whenever I see how some people, especially some lazy Nigerian youths are defending some of the world’s most laughable policies of this government.

Pls can someone educate me why Binance did not affect other countries’ economy but only Nigeria’s? Even our next-door neighbors, Benin and Ghana are not affected, but only Nigeria economy.

Comparing the Binance vs. US with Binance vs. Nigeria is very absurd and ridiculous.

Binance vs. US
Binance, a “registered” company in the US was charged because the company disregarded anti-money laundering Know Your Customer laws, failed to register as a money transmitter, and wilfully violated U.S. sanctions tied to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

As a registered company operating in the US, you are required to comply with the U.S. sanctions tied to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

That was why the CEO pleaded guilty and was convicted by the US court.

Binance vs. Nigeria
But in the case of Binance vs Nigeria, Binance was never a registered company in Nigeria. “The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared that “Binance Nigeria is neither registered nor regulated by the Commission and its operations in Nigeria and are therefore illegal. Any member of the investing public dealing with the entity is doing so at his/her own risk”.

We have said it several times the main reasons why Naira is falling, but it seems some people just decided to be stupid and foolish at the same time. Please how can a country remove subsidies and at the same time float her currency and expected the same currency to stabilize?

Aside the bad policies embarked upon by this useless government, do you know how much have left the country in the name of JAPA? People sold their belongings, withdrew their savings and took the money out of circulation and you expected the economy to stable?

Please wake you

For the past 20+ years, they are just finding excuses and someone to blame, always to blame someone else, they will never say "Sorry, my people, we are thieves, we are crooks, we are b@stards and... we fvcked up!"

What value does the naira have that it will be the second most traded currency after the US Dollar on most crypto exchanges, nothing drives that except Speculation and it will be foolish to allow the greed of a few citizens affect the rest of us , so the government is doing very well with this case.
Those US lawmakers were lobbied by Binance , which is perfectly legal , but where their advocacy fall flat is Binance is facing similar charges in US and it's CEO was just sentenced after agreeing to pay a heavy fine..... If US can do that nothing will stop us, not even US Congress
