BEST ONLINE BUSINESS IN 2017 – THE TRADE COIN CLUB

When Bitcoin Came into the lime light, it was barely nothing. I remember an article in 2013 where a man bought a burger with 10,000 Bitcoin.

If that individual still has the 10,000 Bitcoin (or BTC) in 2017, the he would be $10,344,400 (NGN 3,620,540,000) richer. I guess the man’s second and even third Generation won’t need to labour so much

To cut the long story short, if you have not invested in Bitcoins yet, you need to. In the next couple of years, Bitcoin is going to be worth up to $2000 per Bitcoin. As at the time of this post, 1BTC - $1035.Hence if you have just 1BTC, you have a whooping NGN 450,000 (using 450 as the exchange rate).

‘Buhari Should Sack All His Ministers And Economic Advisers’ -AMPON Chairman, Wole Arisekola

Publisher and Chairman of the Association of Online Media Practitioners of Nigeria (AMPON) Wole Arisekola has queried the approach of the Buhari administration to its anti-corruption crusade.

Though many see the war against corruption as timely; especially to restore the nation’s dignity, retrieve her collective wealth stolen by the few, and put the nation on the path of greatness, others see the war as lopsided, vendetta, apparently, targeted at the opposition to the government.

In his recently expressed open mind opinion, tagged ‘School of Thought’, Arisekola averred that the war against graft must be fought within known conventions, rather than on spontaneous intuition without concrete evidence.

Goje“I give you a very good example. Look at the case of Danjuma Goje, former Gombe State governor. He has no reason to be in court. He is one of the best Governors that this country has ever produced. When his state was collecting the lowest allocation in the country, he built roads, built an airport, built a university. He did so many wonderful things in that state. Can you compare Gombe State with Zamfara State now? They were created at the same time. But the difference is clear because Goje transformed the state. But every day, you read on the pages of newspapers that Danjuma Goje is being taken to court. Why? You are supposed to judge people on the basis of their performance. There is no former Governor in this country that can claim he outperformed Danjuma Goje. He is an example of good governance in this country. And you have so many people that spent about 99 per cent of their allocations on frivolities walking freely in town”, he said.
