Update on Zenith Bank Issues

Last week, Zenith Bank Plc, which is the bank we use for our transactions underwent a major upgrade with an aim to provide better banking services to customers… However, things went wrong and the upgrade held out longer than necessary and customers were trapped/stranded.

No alerts (SMS or email), no access to personal or corporate accounts platforms. No credits or debits. Nothing whatever.

Zenith Bank customers suffered.

However, the problem is over now and our Zenith Bank account is functioning well. Our Zenith Bank account details are what we usually give customers if they want to do transactions with us.

For those whose transactions were seriously delayed because of this issue, we are sorry.

Our Alternative Bank Account
Our other bank account is:

Our Bank Account:

Account Name: Mustapha Azeez Samuel

Bank Name: GTBank

Account: 0036812951

So, we can sometimes give it to you to fund, and note full well that it is legit and it is from us.

So, for Perfect Money, NETELLER, Instaforex, and crypto transactions, our Zenith Bank account (Itu Global Ventures) or the GTBank account above, is what we use.

NB: Access Bank also plans to start their own major upgrade this week, so let Access Bank customers brace up for unpleasant surprises. This will last longer than they announce.

Dearth Of Classified Information: What You Will Never Be Told

 A Grant Isn’t a Loan

In the year 2000, Facebook decided to give grants to small business owners in Black community to help them mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19. The whole world was under lockdown and a lot of businesses collapsed, including small-scale businesses.

So Facebook decided to give grants to certain Black entrepreneurs in order to help them bring back their businesses to life.  The program was called “Facebook Small Business Grants Program for Black-Owned Businesses.”

The grants program was a part of Facebook's overall commitment to invest $100 million that year in the Black community. And you can find more information about that Facebook Small Business Grants Program here:  https://web.facebook.com/business/black-business-grants?_rdc=1&_rdr 

And you know, a grant isn’t a loan. A loan should be paid back, but a grant is free money.

How I Got to Know About It
I’m an avid viewer of TVC Your View program, usually aired everyday, from Monday to Friday. Your View ladies are among the cutest and the most intelligent women I’ve ever seen.

They heard about the grant program and invited a Facebook representative in Nigeria to come on the show to explain what the program was all about and to confirm it wasn’t a scam.

Yes, it wasn’t a scam. It was real. In fact, Nigerians were also qualified to apply for the grants.

If I didn’t watch the show that day, there was no way I would hear about the program.

I talked to my master in the office, a few days later. He also told me he heard about it, but he kept mum until I told him. He said he heard the info from a banker, who also was not willing to let others know.

The Dearth of Extremely Advantageous Info
And I was surprised, no-one was talking about it on social media. No influencer was mentioning it on Twitter. No live show hosts mentioned it. Nobody mentioned it in WhatsApp and Telegram groups… Nobody shared or forwarded that info.



WHY?

The people that had access to the info were not willing to share it because it gave them a huge edge over those who didn’t know about it. Those who were aware of the info knew very well that spreading, sharing and forwarding such info would make application and qualification processes for such grants to be more competitive.

The more members of the public became aware of it, the less likely it would be for an individual with such information to benefit from it. The more people knew about it, the fiercer the process would be. Therefore, an individual with such info would keep it to themselves in order to improve their own chances of qualification.

The program closed in the same year 2000. I applied for it, but I was not chosen for a grant. I was told I wasn’t chosen, but the reason for not choosing me wasn’t stated.

A Big Lesson to Learn
Billions of pieces of information are shared, forwarded and spread across websites, social media and Instant Messaging applications on a daily basis.

These numerous pieces of information are about politics, crimes, health, education, parenting, money, comedy, relationships, technologies, religions, careers, global events, etc. Yes, they are useful and beneficial and can be taken serious by anybody who cares about them

These bits of information or advice come in form of videos, texts, images, GIFs, emojis, slides, animations, etc. They are good but it doesn’t matter if everybody knows about it, so that they can learn, get wiser, be more aware, etc.



HOWEVER….

If such an individual knows a discrete information that gives them an unfair advantage over other people, they won’t share it. They won’t tell anybody about it. They would keep the information to themselves and use if for their own benefit.

No-one will wake up in the morning and think of how to make you rich. No-one will set out for you and drag you towards financial freedom. You’re the one that will take the steps to do it for yourself.

Advertisers and Marketers Have Personal Interests
You see, those who advertise on social media and other places have benefits to derive if you patronize them for their products. Marketers collect commissions, bonuses, etc. when they make sales.

Even loan apps and institutions benefit from the exorbitant interest rates they charge you.

Those who market products and services to you, also will benefit directedly or indirectly if you patronize them, otherwise, they won’t market anything to you.

“I will show you how to make money.”
“This program will make you how attain financial freedom.”
“The best money-making investment products.”
“How to do this. How to do that. How to make that.”
Etc. etc.

While some of things like these are scams, those which are not scams also are not completely dependable. I know those who have attended seminars and more seminars, workshops and more workshops with nothing to show for that.

They end up not attaining their desired goals and ambitions

You can’t have or know something that gives you a distinct advantage over hundreds of millions of people and decide to show it to the public. If that thing is truly advantageous, you will use it to make yourself and your family rich. You will not set out to be looking for strangers that you want to make rich.

That means, those who claim they have secrets, don’t really have them.

People Will Always Bring Liabilities to You, Not Assets
When people have money, or they get paid, they won’t call you to give a share. But when they are broke or they need help, they will call you for help.

When religious institutions or leaders have monies or funds to share, they won’t let you know, but they can give you envelopes, invite you to programs and/or make you special guests so that they can make more money from you.

Community leaders and traditional leaders take grants, slots and benefits of their posts for themselves and their loved ones, but they won’t offer you anything. Yet they can request for donations from you or give you chieftaincy titles that will enable them to milk you and take more advantage of you.

In all areas of life, people won’t share their income, profits, assets, and so on, with you, but they will always share their problems, needs, debts, losses and liabilities with you, wanting you to shoulder some of them.

Someone who’s using a commercial vehicle won’t remember to send a small credit to you, but will remember that you can help them when the vehicle breaks down. Someone who enjoys sexual activities with his wife alone, now wants you to bear some of the burdens when the intercourse results in a baby.

Conclusion
People won’t tell you the best kept secret of their success or how they make their money or how they fish. So, you should stop waiting for that.

99.99% of the information you see online (groups, forums, social media, blogs, etc.) doesn’t really give the original poster any advantage over multitudes, otherwise, they won’t post it.

OKX stops services to Nigerians

You may have heard that OKX no longer wants to render services to Nigerians.

“We are discontinuing OKX services in Nigeria after recent changes in local laws and regulations. This is based on our ongoing assessment of policies in each market we serve.

From August 16, 2024, our customers will no longer be able to open any new positions or access any services on the platform, with the exception of withdrawals and closing/redemption of open positions.

We request you to please review your account and complete applicable steps by 12:00 am (PST) on August 16, 2024.” – OKX Management.

Why this?
Nigerian government severely persecutes and punishes Binance, but Binance doesn’t stop its services to Nigerians except P2P and Naira trading.

Even KuCoin that has started deducting taxes from trading and transactional activities from Nigerians, on behalf of the government, cannot have its website accessed in Nigeria.

Nigeria government want to collect taxes from people’s trading and transactional activities but they don’t want them to access the website in the country. If not for the fact that the exchanges mobile apps can be used with ease, I would have easily, simply left this country.

The biggest, wealthiest and most technologically advanced nations in the world (plus world leaders and global celebrities) are acknowledging, approving, and regulating crypto industry and products and taking necessary favorable steps. However, Nigerian government is trying to kill crypto in their own country.

But crypto cannot be killed.

They say people are using crypto for money-laundry and illegal things. Bitcoin, the first and the most popular crypto coin, is only 15 years old. 

General Abacha and other military administrators looted a lot of money and sent it abroad. Did they do that through crypto?

Those who looted public funds before Abacha didn’t use crypto. Those who engaged in slave trade and other illegal things in the 19^th century didn’t use crypto. Those who siphoned government funds between 1999 and 2007 didn’t use crypto.

If crypto didn’t exist today, people in this country would still be laundering funds and doing illegal business activities with means available to them. In fact, in Nigeria, Naira is used more in illegal activities than crypto.

But the government think the cure for headache is to cut off the head. They could simply ban computers and smartphones in the country because some people are using them for bad things. They can ban churches, owing to the atrocities of some pastors?

Don’t they know that crypto has lots of beneficial and legitimate uses? And they need to stop crypto because of some bad actors?

This is a losing battle. Crypto is an integral part of the future.

The whole world has moved on!

Crypto doesn’t cause inflation
Go and listen to those old school songs from popular singers dead and alive. Or ask your parents or grandparents… They also complained of inflation in their lifetime.

Without inflation, all forms of investments cannot yield profits in the long run and the economy won’t grow.

What made it possible for someone who bought a piece of land for N50K about 35years ago, to sell it at N10 million today, if there was no inflation? Or do you think the prices for building materials 35 years ago are the same now?

But the inflation rate has to be normal.

Rapid inflation is an economic phenomenon… It is bound to happen when an economy is bad, demand is huge and supply is low. The only way to slow the inflation rate (no government in the world can stop inflation) is to improve the economy, increase supply and/or decrease demand.

Inflation is as old as trading itself, and it has nothing to do with crypto.

Back to OKX
OKX is currently the 3^rd biggest exchange in the world, by trading volume. They are excellent. But they are not the only excellent exchanges out there.

Actually they don’t accept citizens of the US and Canada. They don’t accept nationals from certain countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Even their plan to discontinue services to certain countries includes not only Nigeria, but other countries in Africa (like Algeria), the Middle East and Asia. They have already left India.

If they say they don’t want Nigerians again, there are exchanges that are even nearly better than them.

As I always tell you, unless a woman tries 2 different husbands, she can’t know who is better or worse.

There are other excellent crypto exchanges out there, and I can tell you, moving out of OKX is as easy as moving into another good exchange.

More on why we left 9Mobile

Last week we told you the reasons why we ported from 9Mobile (Etisalat) to MTN.

The article is here: https://ituglobalfx.com.ng/blog/posts/why-we-left-9mobile-network

Well, many 9Mobile customers simply stopped using their SIMs.

But if your 9Mobile SIM is important to you, you may want to retain that number while you migrate to another network.

Yes, you would lose all the info and data on the SIM (and that emphasizes why you need to back up your info), but you would retain your number.

My 9mibile numbers are important to me, just as others find their phone numbers important to them as well, and that is why the numbers needed to be retained.

For you to keep your business integrity, your contact details (including your phone numbers), must remain the same and must be constant, as long as possible. Otherwise, your legitimacy and integrity will be questioned.

Changing contact details and phone numbers often and often is one of the red signals/warning signs of fraudulent groups and scams. Anyone who usually changes their phone numbers should be suspected or avoided.

Don’t deal with any purported individual, group organization, or business who occasionally change their phone numbers, tabling flimsy alibis. They will change their phone number after they have scammed you.

Going back to 9Mobile, I was really getting nuts because I was their customer. I couldn’t use data, call, and even SMS.

Even when their services were better, I would sometimes need to walk out of the building before I could receive calls or send SMS. Imagine a situation in which you couldn’t even use a service while in the comfort of a building, and you had to walk out into the sun or the rain or into an unwelcoming crowd, just because you wanted to use a service.

While using a 9Mobile SIM for transactional purposes, I couldn’t even get codes to log in to important accounts or complete crucial transactions… Is that the network I should continue staying with?

I loved 9Mobile (formerly Etisalat) so much, and I endured many painful service experiences with them for more than 3 years (and I was their customer for 13 years). But enough is enough.



After all, their services aren’t free.

Until a woman tries to find a different husband, she can’t know who one is better. She may think her husband is good until she discovers a better man. She may think her husband is bad until she discovers a worse man. But she cannot know a better or a worse man until she makes an attempt to go into another relationship.

My relationship with 9Mobile has ended, though I still love them. MTN has a more stable network and wider coverage. That is a fact.

What’s happening to 9Mobile is painful to me. When even some members of staff are porting their numbers to another network, then, time up.

Changing their CEO is simply a comedy because there is no magic that could be done again. The only solution is to sell the company, to foreign or local investors, so that they won’t go the way of Starcomms.
