With less than two weeks to the 2019 presidential election in Nigeria, the leading presidential candidates have intensified their political campaigns in every region of the country.

"We Cannot Control Cryptocurrency." - Central Bank of Nigeria

Central Bank cannot control or regulate bitcoin. Central Bank cannot control or regulate blockchain. Just the same way no one is going to control or regulate the Internet. We don’t own it.

The Deputy Director of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Banking and Payments System (CBN).

41% of new users in 2018 came from Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa. However, Nigerians who use Paxful to buy Bitcoin, often pay at least 20% more for Bitcoin than international users.

President Buhari and the Political Amnesia of the Opposition

I don't believe in crying over spilt milk.

Politics will be boring without the political drama. Sit back with Coca Cola and popcorn and enjoy it, instead of having hypertension over Nigerian political cliques and intrigues.. Writing books on the current affairs of Nigerian politics is the best. Political history is important for political studies and for the benefit of posterity. My part two of "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream" is already in progress.
