Big Eyes, SolarCoin, and C+ Charge Underline Crypto’s Commitment To Change

By

Cryptocurrency has come under fire in the past few years, mainly for the amount of electricity it takes to mine coins. Mining Bitcoin (BTC), according to some, has a more detrimental impact on the environment than mining for gold.

The three coins make a positive impact on the environment in very different ways

Consequently, the crypto industry has developed cleaner ways to mine the tokens and developed new technologies to keep reducing the environmental impact of the coin and system. Ethereum (ETH) has been a pioneer in this field, but others such as Big Eyes Coin (BIG), SolarCoin (SLR), and C+ Charge (CCHG) have pioneered entirely new ways of both reducing environmental impact, and actively contributing to cleaning up and mitigation.

While all three demonstrate real care about the natural world and a clear commercial benefit for users, Big Eyes has the potential for the biggest return as it’s currently in its presale phase and has already generated $17.5m. The interest in Big Eyes is only growing with time.

How do cryptocurrencies contribute to climate clean-up and awareness?

The fun and exciting Big Eyes Coin does things its own way, from the zany, anime, cat aesthetic to devoting 5% of all tokens at release to a charity fund. Making full use of its image, Big Eyes leans on the cat imagery to safeguard its most treasured food: fish. And where do fish live? In the ocean, of course! In fact, Big Eyes has already contributed to Sea Shepherd, an international ocean-based charity that seeks to directly confront and expose illegal fishing. Sea Shepherd does not own corporate offices or run extensive fundraising activities, it relies on the goodwill of individuals. There is no doubt that more charities and organizations will stand to benefit when the token is released.

SolarCoin demonstrates a complete commitment to environmental protection. SolarCoins can only be mined through solar power, making it one of the most environmentally friendly cryptocurrencies in existence as it ends up releasing little to no greenhouse gases. Therefore, owners of solar panels stand to gain as they can continue minting tokens and growing the profile of a genuinely environmentally friendly token.

C+ Charge is one of the few cryptocurrencies tapping into the lucrative carbon credit market. The token is used to charge electric vehicles (EV’s) with the C+ Charge token, affording the user carbon credits that can be openly traded on the market. In the first quarter of 2022 alone, Tesla generated $679m in revenue, showing just how lucrative carbon credits can be. Token holders will earn carbon credits simply for holding tokens, and EV owners can earn carbon credits by paying for their charge with C+ Charge tokens. Carbon credits have been the preserve of the biggest corporate polluters, but C+ Charge is trying to democratize access to carbon credits and the seller’s market with its token.

Big Eyes Coin wins the case for investment

While all three tokens help the environment and climate in their own way, they aren’t equals when it comes to generating returns. Since SolarCoin relies on solar power to mint a token, it’s often a slow process and doesn’t result in a great yield.

C+ Charge provides some more financial impetus, and holders of the token can earn carbon credits simply for holding them. However, to make full use of the token and maximize carbon credit earnings, charging an EV car at C+ Charge affiliate locations is key to making full use of the token.

BigEyes is in its presale phase and has already generated $17.5m, with that number growing on a weekly basis. When the token’s successful presale phase is coupled with its growing audience on social media, it’s the perfect recipe for growth. The presale is the best time to invest in crypto tokens, as the demand tends to go up at the release.

The Possibilities of Legal Egalitarianism in Nigeria

By
Stanley Alieke

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. George Orwell in Animal Farm. 

George Orwell while trying to portray the disparity and the class system that exists in society made this quote in his popular book, “Animal farm”. This quote has never been truer in any other society than the Nigerian society and by larger extension, the African society where there is a widening disparity and social stratification and where some individuals are more equal than others.

In Nigerian society, there is a factor that has stood as a strong distraction to the criminal justice administration and law enforcement and it is “the selective enforcement of the law”. This is the chief enabler and greatest reinforcement of lawlessness. In a society where some can act arbitrarily or break any law with the mindset that they are above the law or when mildly put, that they are more equal than others; some people cannot be prosecuted despite whatever they do because they belong to the ruling class or the upper class, this is making the society to swim in anarchy and lawlessness.

The law should always take its full course on the lawbreakers despite their economic status, political status, social class and connection or power the person wields in society. If a common man will be prosecuted for that same offence, an uncommon man should as well be prosecuted.

Let’s cast our mind to the theory propagated by an English legal pundit, Professor A.V. Dicey in the rule of law. He postulated that three principles uphold a truly modern society and chase away anarchy; the second pillar he termed “the principle of equality before the law”, whilst the first principle is the impartiality of the judiciary and the third pillar is the principle of the protection of the rights and liberties of citizens.

Equality before the law, also known as equality under the law or legal egalitarianism, is the principle that all people must be equally protected or equally cautioned by the law despite the person’s status, office or power. We are all the same before the law.

In Nigeria today, this postulation of Av Dicey that everyone should be equal before the law is a fluke. It has never worked and it does not look like what may work anytime soon; this is still an idealistic theory, and not yet a realism.

Most public figures and political officeholders have been accused of the worst crimes but they are still going about their daily business without being prosecuted because of who they are. Some political office holders are even constitutionally shielded from prosecution by constitutional immunity, even after their political tenure, hence why they can act arbitrarily and act with no regard to the law because they know that whatever they do they can always get away with it and they actually do get away with it.

 We yearn for a legal egalitarian society where everyone will be equal before the law. If you go against the law you get punished, if the law wants to temper justice with mercy it will not be because of your status. Both the rulers and the ruled should be subjected to the law. The president, the governors, the senators and all political office holders should be prosecuted whenever they go astray because when this is the case, the citizens will sit up, having in mind that if the political office holders can be prosecuted and punished, nobody will escape justice.

 Theodore Roosevelt once said that no man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission (or care about his status/class) when we ask him to obey the law.

Fuel Scarcity, Naira Redesign, Plans to Scuttle Nigeria 2023 Elections – Tinubu

By

The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has alleged that the current fuel scarcity rocking the country is a ploy to scuttle the 2023 general elections.

Tinubu made the allegation in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, during his campaign on Wednesday. He said besides the fuel scarcity, the Central Bank of Nigeria’s decision to redesign the naira is also part of the plan.

Nigerians are grappling with months-long fuel scarcity that has impacted life and businesses, compounding the already bad state of livelihood in the country. Besides that, the CBN announced the redesign of naira notes and new cashless policy late last year, a set of monetary policies that has pitted the apex bank governor against politicians. The central bank gave a January 31 deadline to phase out the old naira notes.

Tinubu said the developments are deliberate attempts by mischief makers to cause disaffection among the citizenry towards the APC. He said the naira redesign is part of the conspiracies and mischief from certain elements within the corridors of power, who want to frustrate the citizenry.

“Even if they said there is no fuel, we will trek to vote. They have a lot of mischief; they could say there is no fuel. This one too, they think they can cause crisis by sabotaging fuel supply,” he said.

“They are sabotaging fuel supply. Whether there is fuel or not, whether there is Okada (motorcycle) or not, whether there is tricycle or not, we will go and vote and we shall win. This is a superior revolution and when I tell you, you know what I mean. You know me, we are going there to win.

“They have been scheming to create fuel crisis, but forget about it. Relax, I, Asiwaju have told you that the issue of fuel supply will be permanently addressed. Whoever wants to eat the honey embedded in a mountain won’t worry about the axe. Is that not so? And if you want to eat palm kernel, you would bring stone and use it to break it, then the kernel will come out. It’s not easy.

“Let them increase the price of fuel, only them know where they have hoarded fuel. They hoarded money, they hoarded Naira; we will go and vote and we will win. Even if they change the ink on the Naira notes. Whatever their plans, it will come to nought. We are going to win. Those in the PDP will lose (wón ma lu lè).

“This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax. They don’t want this election to hold, they want to scuttle it,” Tinubu lamented.

The naira redesign, which comes with a withdrawal policy that limits how much both individuals and corporate organizations can withdraw per week to N500,000 and N5 million respectively, has been hailed as a practical idea to stop politicians from buying votes in the forthcoming election.

However, Tinubu’s outburst has been described as an attack on President Muhammadu Buhari, who doubles as the petroleum minister. Buhari, who has failed to solve the lingering fuel scarcity challenge, has repeatedly said that the central bank governor Godwin Emefiele has his backing in his policies.

Responding to Tinubu’s allegations, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said the APC’s presidential flagbearer is frustrated that he would not be able to induce voters with money due to the CBN’s policy.

In a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, the Special Assistant, Public Communication to Atiku, Phrank Shaibu, said Tinubu is pained that the CBN’s cashless policy and currency redesign would curb vote buying and enhance the credibility of next month’s election.

“Even though the CBN policy affects all 18 political parties, Tinubu is the only one frustrated because his plan to deploy bullion vans and bribe poor voters and security agents on the day of election has failed woefully.

“Recall that on the eve of the 2019 Presidential election, two cash laden bullion vans were pictured entering Tinubu’s premises located on 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi. Several petitions were written to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) but nothing was done.

“Also frustrated by President Muhammadu Buhari’s unwillingness to attend some of his insipid rallies, Tinubu launched an attack against the President who doubles as the Minister of Petroleum.

“It is funny that Tinubu is just commenting over the fuel scarcity which started in different parts of the country as far back as February 2022. In Lagos, where Tinubu claims to be the landlord, the state has been witnessing fuel queues since last November. It is therefore dubious of Tinubu to try to extricate himself from the failures of his party because elections are 30 days away,” Shaibu said.

He added that Tinubu is making spurious statements because he knows he wouldn’t win, which makes him paranoid.

“Besides, the so-called Lagos godfather, who says he will remove petrol subsidy on his first day in office if he wins, told the people of Ogun State that he will push the price of petrol below N200 per litre. It is obvious that he has not even read his own manifesto.

“Tinubu’s paranoia is clearly getting the best of him. He has gone from attacking the leader of his own party to Igbos and northerners all because he believes they are not supporting his failed Presidential ambition.

“For a man who claimed to have single handedly made Buhari President, it is funny that he is now running from pillar to post all in a bid to save what is left of his failed campaign.

“Having seen his imminent defeat at the polls, he is already using the fuel scarcity and naira redesign as excuses,” he said.

Nigeria Needs an Efficient Unemployment Insurance Scheme As The Nature of Work Evolves Globally

I do not know the possibility but we may still have the time before the current session of the Nigerian parliament concludes. Yes, I have posited that Nigeria should have an improved unemployment insurance scheme – “cash benefits payable to individuals with respect to their unemployment” –  where people who lose their jobs can be paid a certain amount for 6 months, after they have worked consistently for a couple of years, and paid into the pool. 

As the painful paralysis of unemployment, arising out of layoffs,  ravages homes and families around the world, we’re learning that losing a job is no more because of lack of competence. Rather, there are many reasons competent, efficient, dutiful and amazing people could be asked to go these days. And if that happens, how can we ensure parents can put food on the table, sons and daughters can afford basic things they need, and indeed, life can go on, untethered wholly on an immediate job.

I am a democrat, and I dream of a time when where we work or the job we hold will not define our status in the society. And if we extrapolate, the job we hold or company we work for or not work, will not drastically affect what it means to be a human. That someone has lost a job must not mean that a person’s life should pause!

The United States has a decent system  but Nigeria has none of value. Fascinatingly, I do not think the government should lead this process in Nigeria. I am hoping that we can have an ordinance, enacted by the National Assembly, to enable private companies to offer products with mandatory requirements for companies and workers, regulated by a government agency. Note: this is not pension; this is unemployment insurance.

As we continue to see turbulence in the world of business, we’re entering an age where being out of work, seasonally, will become common – and if that is the norm, Nigeria must have policy tools to help workers recover. The big part: this unemployment insurance payout will be  money the workers have contributed into the pool when they were working, implying that the government is not doing any saraka or giveaway.

Unemployment insurance (UI), also called unemployment benefits, is a type of state-provided insurance that pays money to individuals on a weekly basis when they lose their job and meet certain eligibility requirements.

Those who either voluntarily quit or were fired for a just cause are usually not eligible for UI. In other words, someone separated from their job due to a lack of available work and at no fault of their own usually qualifies for unemployment benefits.

Each state administers its own unemployment insurance program, despite it being federal law. Workers must meet their state’s work and wage requirements, including time worked. The benefits are primarily paid out by state governments and funded by specific payroll taxes collected for that purpose. (Investopedia)

Comment 1: Allocating money into the unemployed segment makes a lot of sense and helps the government in many ways.

One it channels money into a low productive segment. Since the unemployed has reduced or no economic activity, little cheques from government can be channeled back into the economy and help spur economy activities.
With increased economic activities, businesses can make more money which can help increase tax collection from government.
Also it helps reduce crime and government spending fighting crime. With regular Cheques from government during unemployment and hardship the tendency to commit crime reduces significantly.
Also, it create a social balance in the society. Keeps family going, reduced chances of separation and children going into the wrong acts.

A well thought out unemployment insurance scheme in Nigeria should be a blessing. However looking at recent social intervention scheme in the country and the corruption that plaqued it we may begin to have a second look.

My Response: “Allocating money into the unemployed segment ” – actually you do not need to allocate money from the government budget. This is like paying for your car insurance where from the pooled premiums, many are settled if bad things happen. A good scheme should not task taxpayers.

Comment 2: Very laudable and badly needed initiative for growing army of our out people that have lost their jobs.
But it can only work devoid of government as every previous government initiatives in this regard have been killed by the corrupt officials.
We may not need to create anything new, we can simply tweak the PENCOM Act to accommodate the need to provide succour to contributors that lost their jobs.

My Response: PENCOM should not handle this because these people are not retiring. As I noted, the government should not drive this but regulate it. Think of your car insurance and premium and how it communally insures everyone (sure, debatable in Nigeria, but it works in many other places). Ideally, if everyone does it, there would be a pool for private companies to make this work under government regulation. But it is not going to be a retirement system.
