Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has faulted the ban on cryptocurrency trading placed by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The CBN gave the order as seen in a statement issued on Friday, stressing that all banking institutions are to close the accounts of customers with cryptocurrency transactions immediately.READ ALSO:Reacting to the ban, Ezekwesili slammed the CBN, saying the order makes the country appear unprepared to embrace the future.
She tweeted, “Frankly, CBN, all you needed to do was map all the legitimate risks associated with #cryptocurrency and gather a subset of the super brilliant Nigerian young minds in #FinTech so you listen and learn more. Learning is the greatest asset of the policy-maker. Never late.“Our country’s DNA for irony is uncanny.

Were we ever preparing for anything reasonable
Let your priority now be how to secure your home land.
Countdown to the end of current luelessness, clumsiness and madness is 841 days, 29 May 2023. Nigeria shall be free again, from oppressive regime!
Nigerians will only do there biz in Ghana and out her countries. They don’t even get it, Nigerian youths will always find a way. They are smarter than the old fools.
Woman, why are you no longer roaming in the streets of Abuja and Lagos shouting bring back our girls? Is only God that will judge all of you that conspired and brought this government of calamity upon us. Hypocrite!
Exactly
Look you, look what you supported ma'am. With all due respect
Think before you give your thought to Ezekwesilli comment.if you don’t know history ask your God fathers who sent you to write here basic.🔥🔥💯
CBN should also ban the internet, and smart phone, the world is changing it can't remain constant. We can't compare the level of technology as at 1960 to 2021. They should understand the importance of block chain, just like the important of internet.
Nigeria is never ready for anything
The leaders are afraid of the future so they want to dwell in the pass,that's the reason why things ain't working in nigeria.
Is very obvious ma'am I don't know why Nigeria government always do there own thing upside down
Is this backward government interested in any future for NIGERIA?
IFB
Very correct
They were never prepared, Nigeria is not even close to 100 years innovations that has happened all over the world. If a country can’t keep steady electricity they shud be ban from many goodies like vaccines, crypto. The real headline is Crypto bans CBN Nigeria lol
The young are prepared but the old seem expired
If there is even a future
NIGERIA IS GOVERNED BY VERY BLIND , HIGHLY OPPRESSIVE AND WICKED PEOPLE. Comparing valuations: Tesla:( Leader in Eletric car manufacturing). $838 billion Ford GM Volkswagen $684 billion Audi (combined) Daimler Honda BMW Toyota
The world 🌎 is on the move but some people in this country are hell bent that Nigeria 🇳🇬 will never go anywhere.

Nigeria planning towards the future is not in their agenda... always retrogressing the whole nation when we try to find a means to survive from their government.
Many people who know nothing about cryptocurrency are quick to condemn CBN over the ban of the digital currency. Have they bothered to ask what the likely dangers of crypto are to the economy and why it might be a good idea for CBN to ban it?
Nigeria political leaders don't have plans for us they stagnat
The fact!
'Baba they said they want to open Bank account in Ghana to trade crypto. Shey we should close border again?'
What exactly is going on in this country? No job, no support from Government yet the means of survival for majority masses is Ban. I guess we need to resist this. yes2cryptocurrency Binance Bitcoin Twitter CBNnigeria TRON godwin_emefiele

We are still dragging Fulani herdsmen. Now they ban cryptocurrency. Nigerian government is devilish.
Nigeria has always not been ready for the future. She is not even in the present, blaming her problems on the past.
Which future is she talking about? She helped destroy this country. Criticized GEJ and promoted this pandemic of we have now. With zero idea of governance and clueless with happenings around the world. There's no section of our economy that's making progress. Even agriculture
Help me to tell them o , This government are trying to make educated and smart people look stupid
