In 2021, Nigeria became the first African country to launch a central bank-backed digital currency, the eNaira, aimed at driving financial inclusion, reducing the cost of cash transactions, and competing with a volatile cryptocurrency regime. Adoption remains low. So what happened? DW's Josephine Mahachi speaks to Ikemesit Effiong, an economist, and DW correspondent, Abiodun Jamiu.
My guest today is Abubakar Nur Khalil, a Nigerian Bitcoin Core contributor, CEO of the Bitcoin venture fund Recursive Capital, and one of only four board members of Btrust—a nonprofit supporting Bitcoin development in Africa. At just 25 years old, Abubakar is transforming the African Bitcoin ecosystem by training developers, advancing Bitcoin adoption, and supporting decentralized financial solutions. In this episode, we explore Nigeria's CBDC rollout of the eNaira, why it failed, and accompanying cash shortages, as well as the growing Bitcoin adoption. Abubkar shares his journey from contributing to Bitcoin Core to leading Btrust's mission of decentralizing Bitcoin development in the Global South. He also shares about the challenges of scaling Bitcoin adoption in Africa, the revolutionary role of Bitcoin mining in electrifying rural communities, and the untapped potential of Bitcoin in empowering Africa's youth and businesses. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

An expert in the Africa department of the International Monetary Fund has expressed optimism for the future success of Nigeria's e-Naira, Africa's first central bank digital currency and the world's second.Despite its underwhelming performance since its launch in October 2021, Jack Ree, a senior economist in the Africa department of the IMF, who conducted a study on the eNaira last year, suggested in an IMF podcast that with some adjustments to its current model, the digital currency could become popular. However, since its introduction 21 months ago, the e-Naira has struggled to gain traction, with less than one million downloads indicating that Nigeria's vast population has not yet fully embraced it, as this number is less than one per cent (-1%) of the total bank accounts in the banking system.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4581134/advertisement

Nigeria's eNaira was the first Central Bank Digital Currency in Africa and only the second in the world when it launched in October 2021, but a growing number of countries across the globe are now planning to follow suit with their own CBDCs. What can they learn from Nigeria's experience? Jookyung Ree is an economist in the IMF African Department and assigned to Nigeria when the CBDC was introduced. Ree has since studied its impact on the economy and found that existing mobile money networks are proving a challenge to the eNaira's adoptability. In this podcast, Ree says the eNaira will need to complement mobile money systems to convince more Nigerians to use it. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3Qb2FI5

Thank you for having me this evening. Not all, and I know you're feeling a little bit under the weather, so we're gonna do half an hour. I appreciate you coming. I know it is like whenever you have an interview scheduled and you don't feel up for it, so I appreciate you coming along. We'll do half an hour and then I will let you go and I'll finish off with some of the other stories. So thank you so much for jumping on. Thanks for being understanding. It's just one of those, I don't know what it is. It started on Friday, actually, just feeling absolutely knackered. I've been sleeping most of today, to be honest. Well, that's fine. As long as you don't pass it on to me, because I'm away to CPAC on Monday. So thankfully, you know. Oh really? Wow. I'm so jealous. Look, I'll send you the pictures. Don't worry. [1:08] Thanks. Whereabouts in the US do they do it? In DC. Oh, right. Oh, cool. I remember I went there for a Turning Point USA event in DC. It was the first time that I went there. Absolutely loved it. We went to the White House and we saw Donald Trump and Mike Pence speak in person. It was like this black leadership thing that TPUSA did. It was such a brilliant experience. Unforgettable. Wow. Well, I'm looking forward to meeting the man himself, President Trump over there and all the speakers. So it will be good fun. But I'll send you pictures and next time you, can come over. Yeah, no, one of these one of these days I'm going to CPAC definitely. [1:54] Not that I'm the one that invites people. So it's my first time. So anyway, we'll jump in. You can follow Dominique. There's her handle. Of course, you know her from GB News regularly from Mark Steyn show from Iconic from so many things. And of course, her own podcast, her own live stream on Twitter on Getter on Now on YouTube. On YouTube. Now on YouTube. I think the handle is the same on YouTube, but I am sort of in the process of building it up. I recently did a interview with Andrew Bridgen MP, and they did particularly well. Let me just see if, do you mind if I share my screen? Of course you can. Just to promote my little thing here. On YouTube. Yeah. So that... [2:46] Could you bring it up? I think I need to bring it up. There you go. Yeah. Right. Okay. So that is my YouTube. It's at DominiqueTaegon. So the handle is the same. And if you want to watch the Andrew Bridgen interview, it's there. Thank you for letting me do my little promo there. I didn't actually know that a guest could share a screen to thank you've taught me something. Thank you, Dominique. [3:06] Well, I'm quite the seasoned restream user. You are, I know, I know. But yeah, I love that interview with Andrew Bridgen, really worthwhile watching. If anyone hasn't seen it, I don't know where you've been, but if you haven't seen it, then do make sure and watch that. It is absolutely worthwhile. Let's jump in with the news. We've lots of stories to cover and we'll cover these four major ones. And the first one, I know you you posted this Dominique, if it's going to come up, which is about low traffic neighbourhoods. So the link is in the description on most of them. And this is obviously about low traffic neighbourhoods being promoted as supporting neighbourhood businesses and entrepreneurs. Nothing could be further from the truth. But tell us why the whole issue of 15 minute cities has really caught your eye. [4:02] Well, the whole issue of 15-minute cities for me was quite alarming because when you actually do your research and you look on the people that promote these 15-minute cities, you know, slash low traffic neighborhoods, number one, they have a real issue with the private use of cars. So really, there are various studies done by what I call these psychopaths that do look to limit private car use. How do they do that? By making everyone swap out for electric vehicles, taxing people out of driving, that sort of thing. I mean, we've seen that with the Youles controversy with Sadiq Khan, basically just making it costlier and more difficult for drivers to actually navigate. So that's the number one thing that was quite suspicious. But the biggest thing for me was actually they mentioned COVID as this sort of convenient conduit for people to realize that, you know, actually it's so much more convenient for us to be within 15 minutes of each other. And when you actually look at that outside of their romanticized and falsified version, there are thousands, millions of people that really, really suffered during those unscientific authoritarian psychopathic lockdowns. There are people that lost their businesses, people that committed suicide, people that died at home because they couldn't [5:25] access NHS treatment. So this romanticized idea that it made us realize all of these things, maybe it did for the people that are privileged enough to have been able to enjoy that, who were celebrating working from home, but for the people whose businesses relied on [5:42] society operating normally, that's not quite a rosy picture, is it? So it's no surprise with that article that you referenced, that various studies showed that in terms of customers returning to these businesses. It dropped extremely low. I can't remember specifically, but I think particularly in Oxford, because of all of the basically hoops that these drivers have to get through, and Oxford's a touristy area, so people come from outside of Oxford to come and see it because it's a beautiful place, they're just not doing it anymore. Because what is the point? It's too expensive, there's nowhere to park, and it's basically just hostile towards the revenue that many businesses rely on. And that's the real difficulty. Small businesses do not benefit from 15 minute cities. And I mean the whole thing, congestion charge in London being rolled out, I think it's seven days a week. And that is a massive impact. And where I might think maybe jump in my car and go somewhere, Actually, I don't do that. But Projam, could you bring up the demo that there was a demo, obviously Oxford has been the one that has been pushed. And I just want to bring up this because it's the European Conservative and this is it. [7:00] Thousands protesting in a 50 minute city in Oxford. If you just scroll that down and there were massive, I watched some of the videos and huge groups of people and I was a bit jealous I wasn't able to get there. But it shows there is opposition because sometimes we'll be told don't worry, this is a conspiracy, this is just a small group of those on the right who are angry about this, but actually people are galvanised and opposing this and I saw many of those videos and I thought, wow, this is good, the fight is on, bring it on. Yeah, about 2000 people, probably more, were there, they turned out, they protested, they demonstrated, Antifa turned up calling them fascists, which is just really odd. I mean, Antifa sort of make themselves out to be these like anti-establishment radicals, but really they're just establishment boot lickers in my opinion. And I mean, who are they funded by as well? Because they've been dotted around quite a few demonstrations, you know. So there was the drag queen story hour demonstration at Tate Modern, [8:16] recently they were there and things got heated because of them. But also most interestingly, the protest in Knowsley, you know, about the refugees in the hotels. So Antifa were allegedly there as well. And apparently they actually showed up and that's when things got violent actually. And it's not an uncommon thing in America. They turn up at protests and those protests seemingly always get violent. So interesting. I'd love to know who's dotting them around in the UK because I think it's weird. Yeah, I mean, it could be hope not hate, obviously been one of the organizations who may be linked to that, but you're right, they do pop up and the violence ensues. And I, [8:59] I would love to try and understand what goes on in their, their heads with this low traffic neighbourhood. I mean, the destruction it does to businesses. If you're a local business, if you're a shop that needs people to come in, but no one can actually drive in and park outside for 20 minutes or in the car park for half an hour and pop in. I mean, it destroys your business. A local business, an independent business cannot operate online and they rely on those people and you see the empty streets and it's heart-breaking, especially post-COVID that they can't recover. Yeah. And it's like, I mean, what do these, you know, what do the proponents of these 15-minute cities want? Do they want us all to be just completely reliant on corporations? Do they, they want us to just be completely reliant on these massive chains? Do they want us to all shop at Amazon groceries? Because Amazon has grocery stores around the UK now. That's a really interesting question because all of the lefties that claim to be all anti-capitalism, oh, you know, let's be organic and independent. A lot of the things that they are screaming and shouting for destroy small businesses. [10:09] Yeah. Well, they haven't thought this through. I think that's working out Dominique. There was another story which I know you had posted on this roll down. This is a BBC story today actually saying that seems as though they're backed down. This is original books to be kept in print following criticism. So scroll down Pro Jam, and there was an attempt by the publishers to rewrite many of the books. They had issues with a whole range of the phrases. What they didn't like, female and they didn't like fat, they didn't like ugly, they had a whole list of words. But it looks like common sense has prevailed in this at least. Yeah, you know, that is the wonderful thing because common sense seems to be quite scarce in Britain today, but [11:07] I mean, let's just be honest, there shouldn't even need to be two additions in the first place, in my view, although this is a positive thing. You know, it just makes you think if you are offended by male cloud men and male non gender neutral umpah lumpahs, because these are some of the changes, by the way, guys. So cloud men in James and the Giant Peach are cloud people. Umpa Lumpas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are gender neutral. In Matilda, Miss Trunchbull isn't a female, she's a woman. Now I have my suspicions about that because of the new definition of what a woman is. Being a woman can be anyone that puts on a skirt and decides that they are one. But female is a very distinct thing, which is obviously why they've chosen to take it out. Boys and girls aren't allowed in, I think it's the hungry crocodile. Crocodile, it's instead just children. Now the publishers said that they have a duty to protect children from offensive content. What is offensive about a cloud man? What is offensive about male oompa-lumpa? It literally makes no sense. And if you're offended by that, I would suggest, you know, you should probably, take a long hard look in the mirror or alternatively get a grip. But I'm glad that now we can actually vote with our feet and choose what we want to read instead of it being dictated to us by this insular group of people that are clearly very disconnected from reality. [12:37] Yeah, because you can have the the woke section where people who are offended by everything they can shop and then we can have the normal one for the rest of us. [12:45] Normal people to read. Yeah, the normal section. But I was interested to see the people responding. So, you know, Ricky Gervais, who you'd expect to jump into something and cause some heat. And he jumped in on this. And then Camilla is being kind of lauded as the one who stepped in and told authors to think remain true to your calling. I thought that was a curious intervention by the Royal Family. Yeah, it was a curious thing, positive nonetheless, but I'm not going to be sitting here and being like, oh, yay, you know, all of a sudden we've got an anti-Woke Queen consort and King, because all they do is churn out Wokeism. And perhaps it's because of their offices, you know, their PR offices, they think that if they subscribe to all these mainstream sort of left-wing causes, for example, the King's coronation is apparently all, it's all going to be about refugees and NHS workers and LGBTQ. These, you know, these groups [13:52] on the large part think the monarchy represents something really pernicious and nasty and backward about Britain. So the idea that, you know, he should be pandering so strongly to these groups, I think, is counterintuitive. But nonetheless, it was good to see the Queen consort actually saying something good, rather than something woke. My suspicions, my, I suppose, little theory would be that this intervention was to get people, I think, back on their side that feel a bit alienated by the monarchy as of recent because King Charles, I mean, they obviously know what's being said on Twitter online. They know that King Charles is sort of being looked at as the woke king. So it's a helpful intervention. [14:37] I'd love to know if conversations were had before and already the publishers had agreed and then Camilla comes out and she's treated as a savior. You don't believe anything these days. So I wonder what happened behind the scenes. Yeah. I mean, the press were briefed. I know that. The press were briefed that it was about the Roald Dahl saga. Like it was specifically about that. Although she purposely didn't mention it because obviously they're supposed to be neutral. They did make a point of briefing the press. So make of that what you will. Exactly. Lets.... Drag Queen Story Hour for children, There have been a lot around this issue and it keeps happening. I don't know, can you play that video, Pro Jam, as we have it in the background? But this, again, another one of these... [15:29] [15:37] Okay, well, let's go enough with that. I don't even want to watch that. But this in South East London, it's the whole issue of children engaged in this. I mean, you've spoken about this a number of times, Dominique. Tell us your thoughts on this whole issue, which seems to be springing up more and more. [15:57] Well, you know, drag queens Story Hour imported from the US as a most really bad woke ideas. Been imported from the US, it's spreading like wildfire across the UK. As I mentioned previously, there was that protest outside Tate Modern against the drag queen Ida HD. She was hired to read to kids. Even with this particular drag queen, Ida HD has quite a checkered past when it comes to certain friends that Ida has supported online. For example, there's one called Darren Moore, who died recently, who was a convicted child rapist. He was convicted in 1999 of raping a boy under 16, four counts, and was then convicted in 2011 for breaching his sex offenders order, because he was found to be working with kids as a coach, as a gymnastics coach, I think it was, or a dance coach and Ida very publicly was like my friend, donate to this go fund me so your friend's a sex offender and you're wanting to read to kids that's concerning and anyone that's concerned about that is a far right bigot apparently but in this particular case I was messaged on Twitter [17:17] by a concerned parent basically saying I mean look what's going on in Lewisham it's the at the Honour Oak Pub in Lewisham where that video is from, where you can see a grown man scantily clad, doing the splits in really inappropriate clothing. And when people say, oh, you know, you're just paranoid that this is sexualized. If you go on to the Instagram account, it's been deleted, but there's a video that I did on Instagram actually showing the original post. This drag queen is called Copper Top Queen. [17:51] And in the caption of the Instagram post, it said, wear a mini skirt, they said. It'll be sexy, they said. And as you can see in the video, the drag queen is like hinching up the skirt to do the splits. Why would you need to look sexy at an event involving children? That's red flag number one. It's inappropriate. And the drag queen featured in that video commented on my Instagram post saying, nothing physically harmful happened to the children, you and your far right views. He's been extremely threatening towards other concerned parents with really misogynistic undertones actually, because most people that are talking about this are women, concerned parents with children. And the thing is, is that I think the UK government needs to ban drag queen events involving children. I mean, as far as I'm aware, it's been done in Florida. It needs to be done here. They're inappropriate. And I'm genuinely concerned about the safety of children where these events are concerned. If you look at the picture and the video, the only people laughing and guffawing and having a good time are the parents. The children look utterly confused because they don't know what's going on. [19:02] And they're probably terrified as well, actually. There was another person that commented on my Instagram post, a childhood survivor of sexual assault, that said, this makes me really uncomfortable. It reminded her of grooming. And it is grooming, because what you're trying to do is you're trying to desensitize children to this sort of overtly sexual and suggestive behavior so that they think it's normal. And what happens, because children's brains are literally like sponges. They absorb information and things that they see, and they mimic them and copy them. What happens when you see children acting like that with each other in the playground? It's disgusting. And I think any parent taking their kids to see things like that should be investigated, to be honest, because how on earth you could think that that is appropriate is completely beyond me. There's another baby cabaret group that I've been directed to. It's called Kababarave. So for anyone that's interested. [20:00] I'm gonna be doing a video about this soon called Kebab-a-Rave. That is a baby cabaret, so it's for babies. It's aimed at babies. And some of the images and the videos I've seen have been absolutely disgusting. Stripper gear, half naked women, men with barely any clothes on doing the splits with all of their legs spread, a Santa stripping while babies are there. It's absolutely disgusting and I'm genuinely concerned. I think the government needs to get involved, as do child services, 100%. You've talked a lot about this and tried to highlight this. You've engaged with commentators, but when you look at politicians and how they respond to me, it's a win-win for any so-called conservative. Any parent will be on their side if they say, look, this is not appropriate. Just come up with that statement. And I don't understand. It's not a difficult issue. It's not something they need to work through or put out a group to find out what parents think. I mean, it's normal. Why do you, I mean, how is it that our politicians don't say, look, there's a line and this is not right for children, maybe right for adults and you can do what you like, children. It's quite easy to win-win. It's easy as pie. And for the so-called conservative party to not be saying something about this. [21:27] And not actually be putting forward legislation, because that's what I want to see. I want to see legislation. If they would have any chance of winning the next election, they need to start talking about things like this, because this isn't just a culture war issue. It's not. This is about a child's safety and a child's sexualization issue by people that think that children need to be exposed to heavily sexualized and suggestive themes and you need to ask the question of why? Why do they want children to be exposed to that? Now I'm not saying all of these people are paedophiles or whatever, although you know it factually has been found that sexual predators have found their way in those organizations 100%. I'm not saying, but the people supporting them, I think a lot of them genuinely do think that this is about acceptance and kindness and inclusion. And it's just not. It's really, really inappropriate. And people like that though, they need to be ignored because they don't know what they're talking about, genuinely. And I'm sick to death of trying to reason with people. Even the people that say, Oh, I mean, pantomime dames. Like, are you thick? How can you compare a pantomime dame fully clothed by the way? [22:44] To a drag queen in literal strip heels and a mini skirt with big fake boobs, gyrating themselves in front of kids. How could you even make that comparison? I know. I know. You're right. I've seen some of the comments and some of the posts you put up and when you try and engage and you can't get anywhere because these people seem to be intent on sexualizing children. [23:06] Yeah, I know. You've got to ask why? Why is that okay with you? There's something not right there. [23:12] Yeah, completely. Let's go on to, we'll do our final story together and this is on the Central Bank digital currency. This is a consultation paper. It was out the 7th of February, but you put it up and I think it's quite important because we certainly haven't referred to this specific paper. Bank of England, the digital pound, a new form of money for households and business? And this is consultation, the Bank of England. I didn't know the Bank of England did their own consultations. I thought that's a whole other area. But it says the Bank of England and HM Treasury publication, and they talk about the way we use money is changing and talking about using a digital pound. I know you've done a number of things on central bank digital currencies. Tell us kind of why you're concerned. Is this not just the way we're moving forward? Tell us why you're concerned on this. Well, again, I think that argument is interesting about, oh, this is the way things are going now. Because look, the argument has been made. Most of us don't really use cash that much in our day to day lives or transactions. I don't. I use Apple Pay. It's just convenient. But you've also got to ask the question of what is the problem that CBDCs are seeking to be the solution to because we already have the infrastructure in the UK for contactless payments. [24:39] For card payments. That infrastructure has been there. We probably have one of the best infrastructures for these types of payments in the world. So a need for a CBDC is completely different. And the difference is, is that it will be government regulated. So that's, what it is. It's a central bank, central bank digital currency. So banks and by extension our government. I know we say, oh, but you know, the Bank of England is separate. You know, it's separate, but it's not, it's not really. This is like a government controlled currency where they can track all of your transactions. So effectively like sort of the track and trace we saw during the pandemic, they can track all your transactions, see what you're spending money on. And it makes you extremely vulnerable to financial discrimination. So say for example, you've got these psychos talking about, you know, we need to have carbon points. Everyone needs to be attributed a specific number of carbon points. Use too many of your carbon points one day, blocks from making certain transactions. Or if you have participated in a protest that's inconvenient for the government, they can block you from your own money. We saw as much in Canada. You know, remember during the trucker protests. [25:56] And we've sort of seen what the future of CBDC is in places in Asia and Africa. So in Nigeria, there have been riots recently because of a deliberate cash shortage that the Nigerian central bank has triggered. So they've actually had a digital currency since 2021. It's called the eNira. And with this eNira, do you know it's been rejected by about 99% of Nigeria, they've got about 225 million people there and cash is still favored for most transactions. I'm going to have to wipe my nose. One second... She'll be back. [26:54] But this is a, this is a huge issue and, um, from the purpose of... Woo. Oh my gosh. [27:12] Sorry about that. I could just see like shining under my nose. But just to finish off Dominique, because it's the whole issue with digital currency, the whole point of them was about privacy, was about taking control back to the individual, owning your money and not having government control. And this kind of is a perverse way of looking at it. It takes that and throws it on its head and says by the government, we're not going to let you take control of your money. We're going to pull back control. So it's, even when they talk about digital currency, digital currency is about freedom and control for the individual. But this puts it all the way back. Yeah, exactly. the thing you were right with cryptocurrency, is that specifically Bitcoin, is that it can't be tracked and traced in the same way. But our governments have obviously seen that and want to capture it and again, want it to be for some element of control. So in Nigeria, most of them have rejected the CBDC in informal transactions. So do you know what the central bank did? It created a deliberate cash shortage by announcing that all the old Naira notes were invalid and they had like probably a month to cash in all the old notes to receive new ones. So what you found were people queuing all outside of the ATMs, couldn't [28:35] get access to their money, riots. And then recently the bank announced that they were going to be using a new technology to save this eNaira that's basically failed. And I'm worried that that sort of stuff will happen here. But also I think lastly, the most important point with this is that you can't have a CBDC without a digital ID and you can't have a digital ID without a CBDC because it all comes hand in hand. It makes transactions a lot easier, but it also allows the government to track you a lot easier. And that's why we should also be talking about and speaking out against digital ID as well. Because with this sort of thing, you will have no privacy. And for people that say, oh, if you don't commit crime, then it's no problem. That's not the point. What about people that are domestic abuse victims that need cash, for example, to escape. [29:28] Their partners? What about old people who actually don't understand all of this technology? There are some real issues here that really do disadvantage the most vulnerable in our society. And also.. with regards to even the 50 minute cities. What about disabled people as well that actually need to drive and need to use cars to get around? That was something that I meant to say actually as well. Yeah, it takes away all that privacy, puts full control and your right digital ID is very much part of that. Dominique, I've got to let you go. I appreciate you coming along. Thank you so much. Even though you're feeling under the weather, thank you for jumping along and joining us today. Oh, my pleasure. I really enjoyed it. Not at all. I'll carry on and I'll let you go and we'll speak soon. All right. I'd love to be back. Thanks Dominique. All right. Thank you. Bye. Bye. [30:17] That was Dominique. Let me, I know what it's like whenever you get called in for interviews and you're just not feeling great and feeling under the weather. And I appreciate her coming along. It's easier to sometimes say, no, I'll give it a miss. But I appreciate her giving her time. But there were some other stories I wanted to touch on. This is one that actually I hadn't put on the list with Dominique, but I think is really important. How's my sound Pro Jam? Is that okay? Give me a thumbs up. He was telling me, yeah, my sound wasn't great. Let me try and pull in some comments on, there are a lot of things, a story today that appeared. But let me try and pull in some comments. Something fell in my room. I don't know what that was. [31:09] Robert McKair, one or two Central American countries have adopted Bitcoin as their currency. Yep. Agra Shed. Who else do we have? Pemshed. Tiffengirl. Who I can pull up. Bockels42 noted NWO and WEF. I couldn't agree more. Do drop your comment. Let me know how you're watching, where you're watching with Dominique on if I can pull in some of those. That would be absolutely wonderful. Yes, let me know Bob Moran you cant fix anything if you keep asking for more government regulation. Yep, completely agree. DTaylor7, Evening All on the beginning, Villan 82, Frankie Boyes, great to have you all on. Thank you so much for being with us. This is the story that came up today and I want to touch on. And I'll spin through the other stories. [32:06] This was a story that had Lord Pearson, who is, I have the privilege of working with Lord Pearson in the House of Lords for the last 12 years. And I've also had the privilege of working with Baroness Cox, who's absolutely wonderful, actually was the Conservative Deputy Speaker in the House of Lords back in the day, now sits as an independent. And this is a secret House of Lords circle showed to have worked with the far right. Email blunder, Sparks inquiry a new issues group collaboration with Islamophobes. That could have been my email blunder, could have been Lord Pearson's, I don't know. But if we scroll down this Pro Jam, I want to pull this because it is a story that is done by, well this is The Guardian, but it's basically been done, yep, it's been done by hope not hate or hate not hope. [32:55] So, a secretive organisation, Accused of Collaborating, it's not really secretive, I've been there for many years, has been operating under the House of Lords for more than a decade. It is more than a decade. The organisation called New Issues Group, it's not an organisation, it's simply groups of people coming together under a name, so it could be easily tagged and identified, includes the former UKIP leader Malcolm Pearson and the Tory former Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, Baroness Cox. The cache of documents, I don't think there's a cache of documents. [33:29] Acquired by anti-fascist group, pro-fascist group, hate not hope, even suggests that a figure who would become one of the UK's most notorious anti-Muslim activists drafted a question to be asked in the House of Lords by group members. I think they're referring to, who are they referring to? I actually lose track. Maybe Anne Marie Waters are referring to. But it talks about this group, which is supposedly a shadowy group, there's Anne Marie's picture. It's not a shadowy group. It's simply in effect a talking house. It's a group that comes together to discuss some of the issues, especially around Baroness Cox's bill to give Muslim women the protections they don't currently enjoy because if they're married, they're not married under UK law, they're married under Islamic law and they don't get the protections they desperately need and require. That has to change to make sure that a Muslim woman is treated exactly the same [34:29] as any other married woman and her husband does not have the right to divorce you, say that three times and she's divorced with no recompense to anything because she's not married under British law. It's absolute travesty that we have hundreds of thousands of Muslim women have zero rights under British law because their marriage is not recognised under British law and the Baroness has been trying to introduce a bill for over a decade and the government refused to put it in because they don't give a damn about Muslim women who have no rights under British law. [35:04] Let's call it as it is. This was the Sky News one. Westminster accounts. Baroness Cox forced to declare financial interest after a leak revealed links to anti-Islam activists. Baroness Cox has taken funding from an American organization run by evangelical, so by Christians. Sky News have got a problem that Christians have donated money to the Baroness to help and all the great humanitarian work that she does all across the world. Wonderful work the Baroness does and she's one of the most active members of the House of Lords I have seen in my over a decade of having the privilege of working there. So Christian groups, absolutely fine. Anti-gay marriage campaigns, well, you've got every right to stand against marriages, not between one man and one woman, no problem. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. [36:04] She holds regular meetings with prominent critics of Islam. I have had the honour of being in many of those meetings and it is wonderful to spend time with great individuals who served this country so well and continue to serve it well into their 80s and they could put their feet up and they could be sipping cocktails around the pool sometime, but no, they choose to come in and meet with others, work with others and do what is right. And yet, hate not hope are angry at these people who want to give back to Britain. Moving on, I think I'll do a whole piece on that because I was shocked, hate not hope had emailed myself or had emailed Alan. They emailed Lord Pearson, Baroness Cox, many others, finding out what the shadowy group was about, which is simply a collection of individuals, like-minded individuals that want to discuss the issues with radical Islam and the freedoms we have in the West. And when that clash comes together, what happens? And we need to discuss as Lord Pearson has always said, can we talk about Islam? He just simply wants to talk about it. And for wanting to talk about it you get attacked with every label under the sun. Let's move on. [37:32] This story is, this is why I didn't want Dominique to come on YouTube, even though she's got a YouTube channel. I saw actually the YouTube video with John Waters has gone really well. We have to be very careful with videos we put on YouTube. We have to see how we use YouTube properly because it's not a bastion of free speech like GETTR, like rumble on the website, like Twitter is at at the moment. Many others, Truth Social, gab that we use, but not for video stuff. There's so many great platforms available there and we need to know how to use them. But at the moment, we are holding off on YouTube. We need to see how we use that effectively because it is a huge platform, but it's a huge platform that you can't talk about this... New Zealand records biggest increase in registered deaths in 100 years. [38:28] Let me read that to you again. You can see it. Let that sink in. New Zealand records biggest increase in registered deaths in 100 years. This should be the biggest story. Biggest in 100 years? Not COVID. [38:47] Not COVID. Something else is happening. Is it the more or less enforced vaccination of an experimental substance that didn't even go through trials with the vaccine group on Diny and Rachel a couple of weeks ago and they talked about the vaccine control group that is there because we have no data on the unvaxxed. We don't actually have any data because it's not divided up. In fact, Pfizer initially started the trial. So they would monitor those who were un-vaxxed, un-jabbed, un-jabbed, that's not even vaxxer, vaccination, let's set that aside, who were un-jabbed with this experimental chemical, whatever went in their arm, and those who were. So those who received the jab, those who didn't. And after I think it was four months, I can be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong on this. If I remember after four months, they scrapped that and they just jabbed all those who were unjabbed as a control. The opposite of what a control group should be. You can monitor those. They scrapped that and people still think this is safe because it's been through a control group and tested. [40:05] Utter bull shit. It is not. And people need to wake up and see this for what it is. Okay, we'll blast through these. The next one, Projam, even Fox News is now covering vaccine injuries. I think we'll... [40:29] Let's play this. Do you wanna? I've got Dominique still up. Apologies. Pro Jam, do you wanna just play this? Can we play this? As we told angle viewers in February of 2020, and by the way, at the time when he came on the show to the protestations of Anthony Fauci, we could never, ever trust China on this. We turn now to a COVID controversy of a different kind. My next guest, a physician from Roseville, California says that he's treated more than 4,000 COVID patients. And of those, he says hundreds experience vaccine related injuries, including chest pain, cancer, and in women, menstrual irregularity and even pregnancy loss. [41:12] Dr. Michael Huang joins me now. Dr. Huang, thanks for being with us tonight..... [41:17] Right. Well, not you can get the idea. And it's wonderful that, sorry, messing up with graphics, that Fox News are actually covering this at long last. Someone who said they treated 4,000 patients for COVID and hundreds, they're seeing vaccine injuries. Let's take that as 10%, hundreds, let's say 400, 4,000 for sake of a, or let's say 200, 5%. If 5% of people are having injuries due to vaccine, this needs to be stopped immediately and to be analysed and tested and find out what is happening. That would be the right thing to do. That would be the correct thing to do. That would be the safe thing to do. But it's not the financially prudent thing to do for these vaccine companies. Why should they stop it if they're making so much money? And it's a printing press for them. Health, safety, that's not the main issue. Stopping the spread of COVID, that's not the main issue. The main issue is making money and taking a medical emergency and printing as much money as you can for your shareholders as a limited company. That's what it's all about. I know you know that. I know that. Many of us know that. It's up to us to try and get the word out, especially as these companies push to move away from emergency use authorization to full authorization. I saw an application yesterday with could have been Pfizer for one of their updated. [42:47] Jabs and they're moving to get full approval for it. Nothing could be more dangerous although my concern is the damage has already been done through these mRNA jabs fully untested and trialled on children. [43:04] Can't get much more evil than that. On to the next story. This is looking at terrorism. This is a little survey that those who arrive in the country illegally are asked to do. Now the government have failed to get a grip on our immigration out of control but they're going to do a survey, an English survey, and this is going to fix our problem. So have you ever been involved in crime or terrorism? Yes or no. The fast track questionnaire handed the channel migrants seeking asylum. If we scroll down, so this will attempt to streamline the process, migrants will be granted refugee status on the basis of 10 page questionnaire. Can you believe it? Well, it is true. So let me, I'll read some of this. So this seems to get rid of the massive backlog. The questionnaire asks more than 50 questions in total, such as how they reached the UK. If we scroll down and we have, yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. The questions, no, no, keep picking it up. Yep. Have you ever been involved in war crimes. [44:17] Crimes against humanity or genocide? No, that's only the British government, I think. Maybe Matt Hancock could answer yes for that. Have you ever been involved in terrorist activities? No, I think that was just Tony Blair wasn't it? Have you ever expressed views at justified terrorist violence? Do you have any documents or other evidence to confirm who you are? No, because they got rid of it because that's how they're told to do it. Have you ever been employed by the military? [44:44] How did you get to the UK? They're asking that. Were you subject to human trafficking? How much did the journey to the UK cost? What question now? Please reply your receipts and we'll refund you. I think that's where we're going. Send us your bills and we'll give it all back to you. Don't you worry. Would you like a new house while you're at it? This is a concerted government. Please, any of you who haven't woken up to this who believe a Tory government are the saviours, they are not. They are the enemy. They are the problem and they are not going to fix this mess. This has happened under their watch, under 13 years of supposedly conservative government, conservative in name only. I don't see any political party actually wanting to, actually do anything about this because you need to be polling. Back in my UKIP days, had to be pulling 15% plus to get anywhere and really about 18% to get a slew of seats in the House of Commons. And even if that happens, you're a small party on the back benches, so there's not much you can do. This last story, I'm not sure if we can bring up, purging of the assassins. A story on the end there, looking at the Conservative Party and how they choose those who will stand. [46:11] And this story goes one way, but I want to take it a slightly different way. And I think we'll finish off on this. Purging of the assassins as local conservative parties pick their next candidates for the next election, many of the 60 or so MPs who knifed Boris are feeling the heat themselves. This is the process that for the next general election, an MP needs to get the vote, the permission to stand as a candidate for their local conservative constituency, local conservative grouping. They can't just do it themselves and just because they're an MP doesn't get them right to stand as a conservative MP in the next election. Strange quirk of British politics. And they have to go with cap in hand and say, please, Conservative Association, please allow us to stand again. And more often than not, of course, the answer is yes. But It can be a way that the local association can punish the MP. And I guess a way of making, keeping that connection between MPs and their constituents, their local party, those on the ground and not just the, the high up part of the concerted party. [47:24] So in theory it's a good idea, but all this is about poor Boris. And it's interesting how some of these people will fare because I am assuming that many conservative associations are angry at how the conservative party have run roughshod over freedoms and civil liberties. They may be angry at how vaccinations were forced on many, the NHS, the health system, many others. It was enforced upon them and they would lose their jobs if they didn't get it. A lot of anger and little Rishi Sunak. Richie, Rishi, Sunak, rich, worth more than the queen or the king, we are on to the king, right? Worth more than the monarchy. First time ever in history that the prime minister has had greater wealth than the sovereign. He doesn't get it. He doesn't get it. And I think a lot of conservative MPs will be punished. I think a lot of them will jump ship before because there's no way they're going to win as a conservative MP when they have destroyed this country in every way imaginable. [48:35] They are the biggest bunch of crooks. Many of them are quite evil, especially with forcing a jab upon people that was never ever ever fully tested, never ever ever tested on children, never went through its trials, But the trials were cancelled after months and yet it was given to people and they were told it was fine. And now all the stories come back and injuries. So many issues and of course people like Andrew Bridgen, the Conservative Party, number 10, they didn't want people like that to stand. Independent minded MPs that will speak up for what they believe is right and not necessarily just fall under what the government say. We'll watch and see what happens. really interesting. [49:25] And I am watching this closely because of course we're all interested in what happens. I think that will be enough for tonight. Let me pull up some of your comments on GETTR if you're watching GETTR. I can't pull the other comments up. My apologies for not being able to pull them all up. Let's go from the bottom up. Okay. [49:54] Bookles, 42, know the WHO, independent candidate of the future, yep, but I don't know what they can achieve with our current electoral system. Pem's head, Tory's aren't Tory. The name Tory goes back a long time actually as a derogatory term, but anyway, we'll knock it into that history. Pem's head, Tory HQ, partially a candidate into my mum's constituency, they've just deselected her. I love it. I love it. The fight back between the grassroots part of the party and the machine at the top. Agshed, not conservative anymore. Nope. Buccos 42, unfortunately, Reform UK or ProJab genocide. That is a big concern. I'll not go deeply into that because we're not about attacking or picking off others, any party who is pro-JAB and criticises Novak Djokovic who wanted to get in Australia and did the right thing to get in and then was attacked by the leader of any political party and mocked and ridiculed. I have no time for.... But that's a whole other issue. James Simmons, there are lots of others, I'll not go into them. [51:10] James Simmons says sexualized children should be a criminal offence, a punishment by the British people. Yep, should be a criminal offence. Anyone who's involved in that should be on the sex offence register and should be jailed up until it can be proved they're no longer a danger to children, no longer want to sexualize children. I think that is about it. [51:30] So thank you for joining. Thank you for watching. Great to have you with us always. It was great fun having Dominique for the first time and hopefully we'll have her back soon. Fit and sound and well and healthy. Next week I'm off to CPAC. We've got some great interviews that we've done in the bag. We'll post those when they come out, Monday, Thursday. And I'll be reporting over there from CPAC. A message from Steve Bannon to say make sure and come to the war room. We'll have you on live. Many others will be there. I'll report there, give you an update as much as I can. Never been there before so first time. I know Nigel is going there. It'll be good to see him. I don't know if any other British folks going over, but I'll try and make a beeline for any others I can find. I'll report as much as I can, take as many interviews and clips with people over there. And I'll be back after CPAC. So thank you for being with us. Thank you for watching on whichever platform you're on and have a good rest of your weekend. We will see you back on Monday with an interview that will tell you about [52:47] closer to the time. So thank you and good night to you all.

Nigeria's central bank slashed the daily withdrawal limit from automatic teller machines in a bid to boost the usage of the eNaira in Africa's most-populous nation. All of this is part of a plan by the elite to get rid of cash and replace it with digital currencies controlled by the central bank. Then your savings will be sent to a digital slaughterhouse where they will be frozen, seized, tax money withheld, and your thoughts will be controlled. Thanks for watching this RTD Live Talk.

In this episode we first answered a question focusing on making future plans in light of what we know about what the bible says on the last days. Should we seek to have kids, go to school, start that business, or make future plans? We then focused on the possible newfound focus Benjamin Netanyahu's government could have in trying to add Saudi Arabia into the Abraham Accords. We then ended off with Nigeria's recent efforts to restrict the amount of cash their citizens can withdraw in an effort to get them to adopt digital alternatives (i.e. the eNaira, Nigeria's CBDC). We also briefly touched on growing antisemitism, Christian persecution in Nigeria, and climate lockdowns and the "15 Minute CIty". Co-Hosted by Ayomikun Shosanya & Stephan Caraway.

Central Bank of Nigeria has begun an inclusive campaign for grassroots adoption of its digital currency, eNaira. The bank engaged some commercial drivers in the Federal Capital Territory to educate them on how to use digital currency with a focus on making them ambassadors to drive the adoption campaign to the grassroots. The apex bank says it is targeting the instalment of a minimum of 10 agent points in Nigeria's 774 local government areas to help in facilitating the visibility and nationwide adoption of the Central bank digital currency. CBN coordinator, technical working committee on eNaira Hajiya Rekiya Mohammed says the bank was at the park to promote eNaira awareness campaign by intimating commercial drivers of the idea, aim, benefits and use of the eNaira application for the everyday transaction.
Ethereum slumps, then neutralizes and Exciting news about the eNaira
Auch wenn Bitcoin, Ethereum und Co sich gerade wieder etwas aufrappeln, sie bleiben spekulativ und den Status einer stabilen Weltwährung werden sie wohl nie bekommen. Das ist nicht nur meine persönliche Meinung, sondern auch die einer meiner regelmäßigen Gesprächspartner, Börsenlegende Jim Rogers. Denn sobald Kryptos den Status eines stabilen, allgemeingültigen Zahlungsmittels erreichen drehen die Staaten den privaten digitalen Assets den Saft ab. Nicht, dass ich ein kompletter Krypto-Verweigerer bin – persönlich bin ich in homöopathischer Dosis in Ethereum und Bitcoin investiert, um den Markt zu verstehen und nicht den technischen Anschluss zu verpassen. Doch bin ich überzeugt, dass die vielen privaten Zahlungssysteme jetzt starke Konkurrenz von digitalen Zentralbankwährungen bekommen. Das Beratungsunternehmen PwC wittert hier auch schon das große Geld, zumal geschätzte 80 Prozent der weltweiten Zentralbanken eine digitale Währung einführen wollen. Die internationale Consultingschmiede hat sogar einen eigenen Index, den PwC CBCD-Index 2022 erstellt. CBCD steht für Central Bank Digital Currencies. Der Index analysiert die weltweit führenden CBDC-Projekte und zeigt die aktuellen Herausforderungen und Trends auf. Und siehe da, Europa hat hier nicht viel zu bieten. Im Index sind vor allem die Staaten Nigeria, China und die Bahamas ganz oben angeführt. Die Bahamas haben im Oktober 2020, mit dem Sand Dollar ein digitales Zentralbankgeld erschaffen hat, gefolgt von China, die Ende 20202 den digitalen Yuan eingeführt haben. In Nigeria gibt es mit dem eNaira eine CBDC. Und wo steht die EU? Die Europäische Kommission will Anfang 2023 einen Gesetzesentwurf für einen digitalen Euro vorlegen, was Deutschland und Frankreich zu langsam geht. Sie befürchten Wettbewerbsnachteile. Wem PwC trotz des Absturzes der Kryptowährung TerraUSD noch eine große Zukunft gibt sind Stable Coins – also private Kryptowährungen, die durch Vermögenswerte wie Fiat-Währungen oder Gold besichert sind und dennoch schnelle und günstige Transaktionen ermöglichen.

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) can seem like nuclear fusion: a proven technology delayed by engineering problems. It is an analogy that Simon Chantry will enjoy since he began his career as a nuclear engineer before co-founding the blockchain-based digital currency technology provider Bitt in 2013. As CIO at Bitt, he has implemented the Bitt Digital Currency Management System (DCMS) on behalf of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) and the Central Bank of Nigeria, putting the company at the heart of two of the first CBDCs to be launched anywhere in the world. The company has also implemented a digital currency wallet for the National Bank of Belize and is now working with the National Bank of Ukraine on a project that is expected to lead to the introduction of electronic money. Dominic Hobson, co-founder of Future of Finance, caught up with Simon Chantry to get the full story behind the eNaira. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We dive into the world of crypto and digital currencies in this episode to take a close look at two countries approaching them in very different ways.

Investors pumped a record $1.47 billion of new money into digital asset investment products last week, fueled by a rally in cryptocurrencies and the launch of the first bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund trading under ticker symbol $BITO. The increase in flows came as bitcoin (BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, surged to an all-time high of $66,974 last week. The previous weekly record came in February, when inflows totaled $640 million. The past week's inflows into crypto funds pushed the year-to-date total to $8 billion. Bitcoin-focused funds dominated last week's inflows, with a 99% share of all inflows into cryptocurrency funds. During the prior week, inflows into bitcoin-focused funds were at $70 million. Nigeria's central bank digital currency (CBDC), the eNaira, is live following an announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari. The official unveiling of the eNaira – designed to complement Nigeria's physical currency, not replace it – took place Monday; it had been announced last week. The eNaira was developed by fintech company Bitt, whose digital currency management system (DCMS) is also behind the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank's CBDC. Two applications for using the CBDC – eNaira speed wallet and eNaira merchant wallet – are available for download from the Google and Apple app stores. Crypto lender BlockFi has partnered with private investment manager Neuberger Berman to develop new crypto asset management products. The new products will be housed in a separate entity called BlockFi nb, according to an announcement Monday. OnChain Studios has raised $7.5 million in a seed funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) to develop Cryptoys: a new non-fungible token (NFT) platform that combines digital toys and gaming.
On Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari unveiled the eNaira, Nigeria's digital currency. According to the government, this new development will increase Nigeria's GDP by $29 billion over the next 10 years.What exactly is the eNaira? How does it operate? Will it benefit Nigerians?In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we will be telling you all you need to know about the eNaira.

Midwest Tungsten Service will take bids on a 14-inch cube via OpenSea. The company will be making the sell as a NFT. Polymarket is being investigated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to see whether the prediction market platform is letting customers improperly trade swaps or binary options and if it should be registered with the agency, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The company, which facilitated about 4 billion shares since the start of operations last year, has been in talks regarding a new round of funding that could value the platform at nearly $1 billion, Bloomberg said, citing two people family with the matter. The eNaira, which is intended to complement the physical Naira rather than replace it, will “make financial transactions easier and seamless for every strata of the society,” the CBN said in emailed statement on Saturday, according to the report. The launch had originally been set for Oct. 1 to Oct. 4 but was delayed in deference to the 61st anniversary of Nigerian independence on Oct. 1. Add Reddit to the list of big brands entering the non-fungible token (NFT) market. The social media site intends to build an NFT platform for buying and selling crypto collectibles, the company tipped in a job posting. In the posting for a senior engineer, Reddit noted “a new and exciting, rapidly growing team that aims to build the largest creator economy on the internet, powered by independent creators, digital goods and NFTs. We are looking for strong engineers and leaders to help us seed the team, set its strategy and build for the future.” The initiative comes amid NFTs' skyrocketing popularity that has spurred a wide array of companies to kickstart different initiatives. Earlier this month, crypto exchanges Coinbase and FTX.US have said that they are building NFT marketplaces.
Summary: Facebook shares under pressure as Facebook Papers released; Nigerian president set to unveil eNaira; SPACs continue to be favorably viewed into 2022.

Nigeria is about to become the first country in Africa to launch a digital currency controlled by their central bank. Instead of carrying notes and coins, Nigerians will have the option to carry electronic money in an e-wallet on their phones. The eNaira will be issued directly from the central bank to users, in the hope of brining financial services to millions of unbanked people.

lets talk about the eNaira
This week, “Opinionated” hosts Anna Baydakova, Danny Nelson and Ben Schiller are getting a bit more light-hearted, discussing the hottest topics of this summer, which (sigh!) is officially over.First, let's get it clear: We're not crazy about all those central bank digital currency (CBDC) announcements the central banks did throughout this year and summer. To Ben Schiller, they pretty much remind him of the 2018 hype around enterprise blockchains, which mostly came to nothing. The reason we are talking about it now? Nigeria announced it would work with a crypto startup, Bitt Inc., on a future launch of the eNaira, one of the rare instances of a central bank named a partner in the industry. Will the central banks of the world do something meaningful with all these CBDC plans in the end?On the other side of the stablecoin agenda, Tether is resisting the full disclosure of its reserves with teeth and nails. Last week, the company appealed CoinDesk's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request on information about Tether's reserves composition, which the company provided to the New York Attorney General as part of the investigation into iFinex settled earlier this year. Turned out, at least part of the crypto community is sympathetic with Tether, arguing the company has the same right to privacy as any individual. We're discussing this point of view.Last but not least, we couldn't miss the latest Udi Wertheimer trolling campaign on Twitter where he stated that “bitcoin is the digital real estate.” Crypto Twitter gleefully picked the punch, and we did, too! But with the narrative ever shifting, what is bitcoin for you? Let us know in replies, and give the podcast some love wherever you're listening to it!Happy autumn, subscribe for more great guests and discussions in September!Mentioned in this episode:Nigeria's Central Bank Taps Bitt to Launch CBDC by Year's EndTether Asks Court to Block NYAG From Releasing Documents to CoinDeskSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
