Crypto Currency: Investors Lament Irregularities, System Failure

Published

on

Online digital currency investors otherwise known as Crypto market investors, are currently lamenting over some irregularities and system failure in the scheme. 
Some of the investors who spoke to The Tide on the recent events in the market, blamed the management of the company, the Leverage Hub Consulting, which provided the platform on which they do business, for their misfortune.
They specifically blamed the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Revelation Ohio, for not living up to expectations, particularly in properly guiding his clients on proper stable investment platform in the crypto space.
Lamenting over some losses he incurred, one of the investors, Ndubuisi Amadi, said he has lost good sum on two investment platforms introduced by Mr Ohio. 
According to Amadi, the two platforms which he called the Mining City, suddenly disappeared like a Ponzi scheme and made him to lose so much money.
“I am not happy that the two investment that was introduced by the Leverage Hub, have made me to lose my hard-earned money, just after one month they were introduced to us with persuasion that they are good schemes.
“This was also similar to the Leverage Hub plan where we were told to invest for five years, but all of a sudden, everything collapsed, and it was difficult to get the refund, which was allegedly switched to the Zuga coin.
“In fact, I have lost confidence in Leverage Hub, because I am no longer seeing sincerity in the system, which I thought will continue to be the hallmark”, he said.
Another investor, Kelvin Walson, also decried continuous delay experienced in one of the top schemes, the Cash Fx of the Leverage Hub.
According to Walson, getting withdrawals from the system in recent times has become a challenge to those that have invested in the platform, with no time frame given.
“As I speak now, many of us in the platform no longer understand what is going on, whether the system is gradually crashing or what, I do not understand, and all the explanations given to us are not working still.
“I am just surprised how the Mining City crashed, and our investment lost, and the man directing us has not said anything about that”, Walson lamented.
Meanwhile, the state of affairs in the Leverage Hub appears to be uneasy with investors in the company, many of whom now seek a refund of their investment money from the company.
A visit to the company’s office revealed that many investors are tired of the system, as they seek not to continue in a business they can no longer have confidence in.
However, efforts to get the reactions of the management of the Leverage Hub Consulting have not succeeded as at the time of going to Press as the phone number of the company’s Managing Director, Revelation Ohio, was switched off.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons

Published

Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.

Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.

The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.

Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.

“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.

“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”

Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.

In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.

Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.

Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.

NIS Ends Decentralised Passport Production After 62 Years

Published

on

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has officially ended passport production at multiple centres, transitioning to a single, centralised system for the first time in 62 years.
Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the disclosure during an inspection of the Nigeria’s new Centralised Passport Personalisation Centre at the NIS Headquarters in Abuja, last Thursday.
He stated that since the establishment of NIS in 1963, Nigeria had never operated a central passport production centre, until now, marking a major reform milestone.
“The project is 100 per cent ready. Nigeria can now be more productive and efficient in delivering passport services,” Tunji-Ojo said.
He explained that old machines could only produce 250 to 300 passports daily, but the new system had a capacity of 4,500 to 5,000 passports every day.
“With this, NIS can now meet daily demands within just four to five hours of operation,” he added, describing it as a game-changer for passport processing in Nigeria.
“We promised two-week delivery, and we’re now pushing for one week.
“Automation and optimisation are crucial for keeping this promise to Nigerians,” the minister said.
He noted that centralisation, in line with global standards, would improve uniformity and enhance the overall integrity of Nigerian travel documents worldwide.
Tunji-Ojo described the development as a step toward bringing services closer to Nigerians while driving a culture of efficiency and total passport system reform.
According to him, the centralised production system aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s reform agenda, boosting NIS capacity and changing the narrative for improved service delivery.

FG To Roll Out Digital Public Infrastructure, Data Exchange, Next Year 

Published

on

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has announced plans to roll out Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and the Nigerian Data Exchange (NGDX) platforms across key sectors of the economy, starting in early 2026.
Director of E-Government and Digital Economy at NITDA, Dr. Salisu Kaka, made the disclosure in Abuja during a stakeholder review session of the DPI and NGDX drafts at the Digital Public Infrastructure Live Event.
The forum, themed “Advancing Nigeria’s Digital Public Infrastructure through Standards, Data Exchange and e-Government Transformation,” brought together regulators, state governments, and private sector stakeholders to harmonise inputs for building inclusive, secure, and interoperable systems for governance and service delivery.
According to Kaka, Nigeria already has several foundational elements in place, including national identity systems and digital payment platforms.
What remains is the establishment of the data exchange framework, which he said would be finalised by the end of 2025.
“Before the end of this year and by next year we will be fully ready with the foundational element, and we start dropping the use cases across sectors,” Kaka explained.
He stressed that the federal government recognises the autonomy of states urging them to align with national standards.
“If the states can model and reflect what happens at the national level, then we can have a 360-degree view of the whole data exchange across the country and drive all-of-government processes,” he added.
