The popular cryptocurrency trading site Binance removed the Naira, the currency of Nigeria, from its peer-to-peer feature on Wednesday.
The P2P market functionality enables users, buyers, and sellers to conduct transactions without the involvement of a third party.
Nigerians first learned about it in 2021 when the government of former president Muhammadu Buhari outlawed cryptocurrency trade in the nation.
SaharaReporters discovered that the elimination of their currency has prevented many Nigerian users from using the feature.
Nigerian authorities claimed that Binance’s removal of Naira from its P2P market was a result of the platform’s role in the devaluation of the currency.
Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, said on Wednesday that Binance’s arbitrary foreign exchange rate fixing would ruin the Nigerian economy if it isn’t stopped.
The National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu’s office detained two Binance employees on Wednesday, according to a report published in the Financial Times. The detentions were a result of an inquiry into the cryptocurrency exchange’s activities in Nigeria.
By cracking down on bitcoin exchanges, their imprisonment in Nigeria was an attempt to stop naira speculation and stabilize its wild decline.
Following the release of the official video for his chart-topping hit song “Egwu,” which features the late artist Mohbad, Nigerian singer Davido has praised fellow musician Chike.
Davido shared a glimpse of the video on Instagram on Wednesday, expressing happiness.
Chike wrote a heartfelt caption along with the video when it was released.
He penned:
“I am honored to celebrate music and my friend @iammohbad with this visual, even though it was challenging.” #Egwu.
Victor Osimhen, a football player from Nigeria, has created history.
After scoring three goals against Sassuolo, he has now matched the scoring record set by the late, great Argentina captain Diego Maradona at Napoli.
On Wednesday, February 28, Osimhen scored his second hat-trick in Serie A as Napoli defeated Sassuolo 6-1 on the road.
For the Italian league winners, the Super Eagles striker has now scored in his previous three games.
Additionally, he has increased his league campaign total to 11 goals in 15 games.
His 10 league goals came after his second goal against Sassuolo, which gave Napoli a 3-1 lead.
Osimhen is currently the third player in Napoli’s history to score ten goals or more in four different seasons.
Maradona accomplished that between 1984 and 1988, and Attila Sallustro did the same for the Partenopei between 1929/30 and 1932/33, if one goes all the way back to 1929.

Following matchday 26, two Super Eagles players—Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi—were named to the Premier League squad of the week.
Recall that after assisting the Super Eagles of Nigeria in making it to the tournament’s final, Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey named 2023 AFCON stars.
At Old Trafford, Fulham shocked Manchester United with a 2-1 victory.
In the Premier League match, Harry Maguire scored the equalizer after Bassey had opened the scoring. Iwobi scored the game’s winning goal in the final minute, giving Fulham a 2-1 victory.
They were named in Whoscored.com’s Premier League Team of the Week together with Phil Foden of Manchester City, Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno, and Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka as a result of their performance.
Calvin Bassey was also included in BBC football analyst Garth Crooks’ squad of the week following the Nigerian international’s superb performance against Manchester United.
Among Crooks were one player each from West Ham United, Crystal Palace, and Fulham. Each of Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa sent two players to the team.
The commentator stated, “This was an impressive team performance by the Cottagers with Bassey and Tosin Adarabioyo back in the starting line-up and could have played this match in stocking feet,” as an explanation of why he included Bassey in his team of the week.
“The goal by Nigerian international Bassey was a fitting cap to an outstanding individual display.”
Doyin, a former housemate on Big Brother Naija, talked about her first-ever market visit in years.
She revealed that she had been disconnected from reality and that she finally realized this after visiting Lagos’ well-known Ogba market.
Seeing how much hardship there is in Nigeria, she thanked God for her privileges.
According to her
I realized today for the first time how detached from reality I am…..people are suffering!!!!
If you can afford food, accommodation and your basic needs you don’t even know what God has done for you.
Today has to be the day I’ve felt the most grateful to God for the life I have.
Yes I visited ogba market and a place called Sunday market. All I could say last night was just thank you Jesus. Sometimes it’s good to visit places outside your comfort zone.
I’ve never gone to the food market to buy even something as small as pepper in my entire adult life. I must have followed my mum once or twice as a child but I don’t even remember the experience
Yesterday was really eye opening for me.
It’s funny how I don’t even know how much they sell pepper or tomatoes or chicken or Turkey or anything at all. There is a whole world outside what I know or what I’m used to.
I realized I’ve been a brat for the most part of my life. I get frustrated when I don’t get my way over frivolous things when there are people that can’t even feed.
If you really want to know how privileged you are, visit the less privileged and you learn to be more grateful.”
Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou gave an excellent performance against current WBC champion Tyson Fury, according to remarks made by Anthony Joshua, the two-time former unified world heavyweight champion.

According to the 34-year-old, “I just feel to myself I will always be here and ready to fight any time,” Sky Sports reported.
“Ngannou also had a strong performance against the current WBC champion, Tyson Fury. I believe it will be successful as a result.
After sharing an Instagram photo together, Nigerian artists Ruger and BNXN shocked their followers.
The Afrobeats artists seem to have patched things up as they make a suggestion about possible future projects together.
Recent events indicate that Ruger—who abruptly departed from his record company, Jonzing World—shared a picture of BNXN and himself purportedly taken during the production of a song video.
Ruger captioned the image, writing, “MAYBE ROMEO MUST DIE.”
Since then, happy followers have responded to the tweet, expressing their amazement that the couple has made up after nearly two years of animosity.

The controversial self-described relationship guru Blessing Okoro, often known as Blessing CEO, has discussed her unhappy marriage.
She said that rather than adultery, the reason she left her marriage was domestic abuse.
She claims that infidelity is insufficient justification for a divorce.
In the first episode of her television program, Moments With Blessing CEO, she made a statement.
“My husband is not a cheater; I left my marriage because of domestic abuse,” the woman stated. Women occasionally have to acknowledge that we are the issue.
“Cheating shouldn’t make you leave your marriage; keep it a secret if your husband is cheating, just like you would with a DNA test,” the CEO of Blessing continued.
