That's me with the former Governor of Kastina State and one-time former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Bello Masari . This a major throwback to my years of active legal practice in Kastina State(North West, Nigeria).

QWe are calling on all stakeholders to like this post and reshare for wider reach. We will start collecting signatures from everyone who believes the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) NRS must be stopped from arbitrarily taxing Nigerian crypto investors to death. #crypto #nrs #

This is a global anomaly that must be challenged in court . We have identified 10 legal grounds for a legal action against the NRS and have begun the mobilisation of our legal architecture for a w legal battle against the imposition of a cruel tax regime on Nigerians.

The international best practice allows key jurisdictions(US, UK, etc) to refrain from applying a stamp tax directly to cryptographic ledger transfers, regardless of whether they are peer-to-peer or exchange-based token transfers.

No Nigerian law recognises virtual assets as DUTIABLE transactions or dutiable legal instruments. Nigeria Tax Act 2025 doesn't classify cryptographic ledger state changes as dutiable instruments, nor does the Stamp Duties Act 1990 support taxing automated on-chain transfers

Loosing my train of thoughts was also one hell of a problem I had to deal with not because I was trying to overload but because I had so much to say for a three minute video.

This is why we need a function-based framework.Regulation must adapt to the economic reality of how these assets are used, rather than relying on legacy definitions. ​Incredibly grateful that my work is contributing to high-level sovereign advisory and global policy conversation

Forcing stablecoins into a rigid, traditional securities framework—treating them like traditional equities or bonds—fundamentally misaligns with their utility, slowing down local innovation and investment in a country that is otherwise a global pioneer in crypto adoption.

In it, they cited my paper, "The Securitization of Stablecoins under the Nigerian Law: A Call for Function-Based Regulation" (Footnote 56). ​The report references the ongoing debate and criticisms surrounding the securitization of stablecoins.

The AI Illusion: Why Africa Needs Infrastructure, Not Just Regulations Governing intelligence comes down to various strategies designed to steer AI but governance itself is not the biggest challenge hindering AI adoption in Africa.

I'm compelled to argue that AI governance is not a setback to AI adoption in Nigeria . It's the lowest hanging fruit . While rules and cross-border oversight are important, more attention should be paid to investing in digital infrastructure and training.

This analysis is factual when you compare Singapore, a knowledge-based economy and one of the world's leading AI hubs, to Nigeria and other African countries.
