It's really good work I think your move is interesting, one can't believe that a man took Bitcoin proposal to the governor of his state. It's really nice of you to complete what no one else has done yet. And the governor of your state presented bitcoin everything is organized properly, which will impress everyone. To be honest no one has ever proposed Bitcoin to a state governor like this, and it's not an easy task. You have completed this difficult task, your hard work has made you successful, it is really interesting and a great job.

Thank you for the kind words. I am motivated to get more supportive comments from you. I will also suggest that you try out something similar at your country, state or local government. It could yield results too. I feel like the bid to make Bitcoin universal and widely accepted, we should collectively preach the gospel of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology all over the world. It's a fast growing technology that the world need to ravel with.

Although, it's a decentralized market, we can decide to create pockets of cohorts and retreats across the world to push the best part of the technology out there. Although, it's a complex tech, it could be more simplified than it is now and we can make the world more comfortable with it. What do you think?

The OP took a good step to boost the rate of bitcoin awareness and adoption in his state, which is well recommendable because we know how it is to book an appointment with the state government and even have the privilege to submit a proposal that the country has yet to legalize. I think if the government approves this request, the OP deserves an award for taking this bold step.

If bitcoin is taught to students in secondary school, they will have the foundation of bitcoin knowledge and will tend not to depend on the government to provide them job opportunities after high school if they can have small capital to further their bitcoin trading to save the government and also reduce the rate of unemployment.

You speak so confident that it makes me doubt that you're really a Nigerian but I love the optimism. Still the Nigerian government aren't the best when it comes to continue government. Each government comes in and do their own thing without completing what the previous government started and that's because of the different party system of producing a governor and the believe that the praises goes to the former government and party when their projects is continued. Also Nigeria government aren't pro Bitcoin that a state in the country can be implementing laws that support Bitcoin adoption while the federal government are banning banks from cryptocurency trading. Well this is going to be a welcome development because a win for one is a win for all so I look forward to now this ends.


This is why it's very important to vote in young politicians that aren't old and lack innovative minds, I don't believe an old governor would have bought into this idea or even accommodated it the way the governor has done. When we have youthful leaders the country can move forward, woth the rate at which Nigerian has shown interest in Bitcoin it isn't only right we have it been studied in our schools so we can educate the younger generation on how to make use of bitch and they start picking interest in it form a very young age.

The mate did a good job by pushing for Bitcoin adoption in his local government even though with alot of bottle neck governmental approaches towards Bitcoin and other related assets in its class, but then if the idea is properly thought out and the students understand of the bitcoin's advantages to the economy and how blockchain technology can revolutionize the world.


What is most important is even more important than a state-wide adoption, in some regions around the world, even though Bitcoin is not publicly adopted by the government but the citizens of such countries still engage in Bitcoin and take advantage of its numerous advantages.

Very interesting stuff op. I applaud your effort to try and help improve BTC adoption to some extent even though I have no clue about the Nigerian government's stance related to BTC and cryptocurrencies in general.

This one post in this forum sheds some positive light on your country which is mostly recognised for negativity(Scammers etc).

In terms of the level of adoption or usage by the countrypeople, Bitcoin is yet one of the most embraced new technologies amongst the young demographics in Nigeria. It users have continued to increase on a daily basis, over time. Especially amongst the most educated people and most enlightened climes.

The only set back or bottleneck (if we may address it as such), is the acceptability of the government to at least recognize the digital currencies and grant it the usage by its citizens. That in itself will shoot up the number of individuals, brokers, miners, investors and many more in the country, which will make the market more noteworthy, as the digital currency will be more credibly embraced and people can now develop that confidence through the PR activities of the government which is coupled with the fact that we live a highly populated country.

The government's adoption could also speedily bring out the implementation of the Bitcoin/Blockchain technology as a legal tender in the country. Banks and other government institutions with large volume of resources will begin to use Bitcoin for their transactions. Which will give Bitcoin that needed attention we're advocating for.

Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies, generally, still recognized or at least perceived as a scam here in my country as, of today, by many people and the government. Source What will be able to change that narrative requires some serious work on communication and marketing. How I wish there's anything like a foundation where one can apply for grants to carry out such humanitarian efforts. A lot of people are still leaving in the Doomsday.

Nevertheless, let me share a bit of my next intended plan which is to take the idea to the public while we await the response of the government. I am still mapping out on how I can execute such plan but it won't take long before we will set out there.

I see these crusades as necessity and I am pretty sure with many convictions that this will help to uplift people from the bondage of fiat currencies.

The restriction in the use of Bitcoin and other digital assets in Nigeria was effective under the past administration headed by Mohammadu Buhari. It was under his directive that they froze the accounts of a lot of crypto-based companies and fintech start-ups. Conversely, this new administration that took over government this year have shown willingness to allow digital assets to thrive. I captured one of their directives in this thread where the central bank have directed all banks to lift the restrictions placed on companies and individuals involved in cryptocurrency business.

So far, there have been a surge in Bitcoin awareness in Nigeria as Nigeria have remained at the top in countries with highest search of the phrases ‘cryptocurrency’, ‘invest in crypto’ and ‘buy crypto’ according to this article published by Coingecko

This is cool nice to see a brother take a bold step like this, and I must applaud your effort as it requires a grate courage for one to do this especially the kind of stress it might have caused you in other to access the government house.

Let’s just hope He keeps to his promise and take the proposal into consideration of investing and empowering the youth or any form of help that will aid in the adoption of bitcoin by the people in that locality, if the governor can take this to his fellow governors and discuss the same topic as it appear he is pleased with the information you gave to him, we might be expecting a grate news for mass adoption not just from the Ninja state but also from other states which the governor might have shared same information with trigger by his influence.
