Crypto Currency: Investors Lament Irregularities, System Failure

Published

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.

The Federal Government has approved a whooping $1bn credit facility to support Nigerian exporters and small scale businesses to take advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in order to boost production, competitiveness and intra-African trade.
The $1bn AfCFTA Adjustment Fund Credit Facility is also expected to address some of the financing gap being faced by Nigerian exporters and enhance the competitiveness of African businesses within the continental market.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, disclosed this  during the second quarter 2026 meeting of the AfCFTA Central Coordination Committee held in Abuja.
According to a statement issued by the ministry’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Obilor-Duru Okechi, Oduwole said the financing facility represented a major opportunity for Nigerian businesses seeking to expand operations, modernise production processes and increase exports to African markets.
The statement partly read, “?The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating Nigeria’s export-led growth agenda under the African Continental Free Trade Area, unveiling opportunities for businesses to access a US$1 billion AfCFTA Adjustment Fund Credit Facility aimed at boosting production, competitiveness, and intra-African trade.”
She noted that despite the progress Nigeria had made in implementing the continental trade agreement, many local businesses continued to face obstacles that limited their ability to take advantage of the single African market.
?
“Many businesses still face challenges relating to export documentation, certification, standards compliance and market access,” the minister said.
She explained that the Federal Government was addressing these bottlenecks through enhanced trade facilitation measures, simplified AfCFTA guidance tools, stakeholder engagement programmes and stronger collaboration with institutions such as the Nigeria Customs Service and the Nigerian Export Promotion Council.
Oduwole stressed the need to strengthen Nigeria’s legal and regulatory framework by domesticating key AfCFTA protocols, particularly the Digital Trade Protocol, to position the country as a major player in Africa’s growing digital economy.
The minister also highlighted some of the gains recorded in Nigeria’s AfCFTA implementation efforts.
According to her, the expansion of Nigeria’s Air Cargo Corridor Initiative to Rwanda, increased collaboration with development partners and private sector players, as well as sustained engagement with state governments, were helping to deepen awareness and participation in the continental market.
In her welcome address and first-quarter update, the National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria AfCFTA Coordination Office, Mrs Patience Okala, provided details of the financing initiative.
Okala said the $1bn AfCFTA Adjustment Fund Credit Facility was targeted at large African businesses with a minimum financing capacity of $10m.
She revealed that the National AfCFTA Coordination Office was working closely with fund managers to facilitate access for eligible Nigerian companies and had begun assembling a pilot group of businesses to ensure that Nigeria maximised the opportunities provided by the facility.

The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has advised Nigerians against boarding boats that require constant bailing of water in the interest of their safety.
 NIWA Area Manager for Cross River and Ebonyi, Mr Stanley Onuoha gave this warning in an interview with Newsmen in Calabar.
Onuoha who spoke on waterway
safety, said that passengers should take responsibility for their safety by inspecting boats before embarking on any journey.
According to him, repeated scooping of water from a boat is a clear indication that the vessel may be leaking.
“If you are entering a boat and see people using a bailer to remove water, it is the first signal that the boat is leaking,” he said.
He urged passengers to check the integrity of boats, including seating arrangements and other visible safety features.
The Manager restated the importance of using safety jackets, saying that damaged jackets may fail during emergencies.
He further said that passengers should ensure that safety jackets were appropriate for their body sizes in order to guarantee effective flotation.
 Onuoha reiterated the need for passengers to fill manifests before departure to aid accountability during emergencies.
The NIWA official further advised travellers to monitor weather conditions and avoid boarding boats when the weather is unfavourable.
According to him, poor weather conditions can trigger strong tidal waves capable of affecting small boats commonly used on inland waterways.
He said that waterway journeys should be embarked upon between 6.00a.m and 6.00p.m for clearer visibility.
Onuoha said  the Authority had continued to sensitise riverine communities to the need for safety precautions during waterway journeys.
He stated that sustained awareness campaigns and enforcement measures had contributed to safety waterway safety in Cross River.
