Nigeria vs Binance: The $81.5 Billion Legal Battle Shaking the Crypto World

The Nigerian government has launched a legal battle against Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, seeking a massive $81.5 billion in damages. This lawsuit, which also demands $2 billion in back taxes, could reshape the cryptocurrency landscape in Nigeria and beyond. What’s the Issue? Nigeria’s authorities accuse Binance of tax evasion and playing a role in the instability of the naira. The country’s economic regulators claim that unregulated crypto transactions on Binance have contributed to the naira’s volatility, affecting the broader financial market. Why This Matters 1. Crypto Regulations in Nigeria: Nigeria has been both a major adopter and critic of cryptocurrency. This lawsuit could set a precedent for how digital currencies are regulated in Africa’s largest economy. 2. Impact on Crypto Users: If Binance faces heavy penalties or restrictions in Nigeria, it could affect millions of Nigerians who use the platform for trading and remittances. 3. Global Crypto Market...

FG Scraps JSS & SSS, Introduces 12-Year Basic Education

The Federal Government has removed the Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) system and replaced it with a 12-year uninterrupted basic education. This means that students will now stay in school for 12 straight years before moving to higher education. The government is also planning to make 16 years the minimum age for university admission. The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, announced this at the 2025 National Council on Education (NCE) meeting in Abuja. Why the Change? The government believes this new system will: ✅ Keep students in school longer, reducing dropouts. ✅ Expose students to vocational skills early, helping them prepare for jobs or higher education. ✅ Match Nigeria’s education system with international standards. How Will It Work? To make this new system successful, the government will: Build more schools to handle more students. Train and hire more teachers. Improve the school curriculum to focus on practical skills. Provide better fund...

US Dollar Continues Slow Slide as Treasury Yields Turn Lower – What This Means for Crypto

  The US dollar has been on a slow decline as Treasury yields take a hit, signaling shifts in the global financial market. This movement raises key questions: How will it impact investors? What does it mean for crypto traders? What’s Happening with the US Dollar? The dollar index (DXY), which measures the USD against other major currencies, has been weakening. One major reason? Treasury yields have been dropping, meaning investors are earning less from holding US government bonds. This often leads to a weaker dollar as traders look for better returns elsewhere. Impact on Crypto and Tech Markets 1. Bitcoin and Altcoins Could Rally – A weaker dollar often drives investors toward alternative assets like Bitcoin and gold. If this trend continues, we could see increased demand for crypto. 2. Stock Market Reaction – Lower yields can make tech stocks more attractive, potentially benefiting companies like Apple, Microsoft, and crypto-focused firms. 3. Stablecoins Under Watch – Since most s...

  In the heart of Nigeria, a man with no formal education, unable to read or write in English, became the vessel through which one of the world's fastest-growing churches was birthed. Pa Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi’s story is not just about religion—it’s about faith, obedience, and divine encounters. From White Garment to Divine Calling Pa Akindayomi started his spiritual journey in a white garment church, but he later felt led to break away. He gathered a small group of believers in his home, where they prayed and studied the Word of God. His hunger for divine truth led him to deeper encounters with God. Though he couldn't read any book, something supernatural happened—he could read the first page of his Bible and hymn book and continue till the end. It was a divine mystery, proof that his calling wasn’t ordinary. The Vision That Changed Everything One night, he had a powerful vision where God showed him the name The Redeemed Christian Church of God. This was strange because he ...
