If the ban on crypto by CBN is true ehn, it points yet again to the ill informed, backward, poverty promoting dinosaurs 🦖 leading us. Use your time ⌚ to investigate and close accounts sponsoring terrorists in the country if you don’t know what to do!!! GAWD 🤦🏾‍♂️#endsars 🚶🏾‍♂️

Just because they can’t “borrow” or steal from our Crypto wallets, they decide to ban it. The devil works hard but Nigerian Government works harder.

No doubt the main reason why Crypto is been banned is just an aggressive payback of #EndSARS protest cause this tyrant government of the day believe we survive on digital marketing not illegal migration of public funds to their private account #Buhari #WeWantOurCryptoBack
