Nigeria to Increase National Minimum Wage to Cushion the Effect of Inflation

0

Not a few Nigerians have felt economically disconcerted and disenfranchised lately as inflation continues to bite really hard and clamps up to an all time high since September 2005 . According to a recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics, in August 2022, the annual inflation rate in Nigeria grew to 20.52 percent from 19.64 percent in the previous month. This is said to have been the highest since September 2005. More so, Food inflation has grown to 23.12 percent from 22.02 percent in July amidst higher prices for staples including rice and bread, and the cost of import has continued to increase due to weakening Naira.

Note also that members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) who have been on strike since February 14, 2022 have decried failure of the federal government to implement the earned academic allowance of public university lecturers and the stagnant remuneration of all public university workers despite the inflationary state of the economy.

The Federal Government through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has on Monday, September 19, 2022 said it was planning to increase the minimum wage from the current 30,000 Naira to adjust to the subsisting economic reality of the nation.

While addressing members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC at a public presentation of a publication titled, “Contemporary History of Working Class Struggles” on Monday in Abuja, Dr. Chris Ngige made it known that the increment in the minimum wage was necessary due to the current global inflation that has impacted negatively on citizens’ purchasing power. He stated that the 2019 Minimum Wage Act included a new clause for a review which would make it easier for the government.

The minister also made it known that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government had commenced the wage adjustment with members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

“The inflation is worldwide, we shall adjust the minimum wage in conformity with what is happening and much more important, the 2019 Minimum Wage Act has a new clause for a review.

“That adjustment has started with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), because the stage they are, with their primary employers, the Ministry of Education, is a Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, negotiations”.

The minister also cleared misconception that the Federal Government took ASUU to court over the prolonged strike of the union as some people claimed, noting that ASUU was at the stage of Collective Bargaining negotiation with their employers when they embarked on strike.

Biggest Crypto Twitter Giveaways – $250,000 in Big Eyes to be won!

0

Cryptocurrency giveaways are some of the best marketing tools used by influencers and projects alike to gain exposure and build communities. Big Eyes is a new cryptocurrency that has an active $250k giveaway advertised on its Twitter.

The prize would be won and awarded in Big Eyes tokens and there are 10 prizes in total to be won making up a total of $250,000.

To qualify for this incredible opportunity, you must be following the Big Eyes Twitter, like and retweet the 250k giveaway post on their page, and have bought at least $50 worth of Big Eyes tokens.

What else are the Big Eyes team doing?

It’s pretty rare to find a cryptocurrency inspired by a vocation. This is something Big Eyes is excelling in at the moment. One of the crucial aspects of Big Eyes is its charitable wallet and activities. If you check its Twitter page, you’ll see it has already donated $1000 to the charity ACT International & Luna. An organisation dedicated to young children who have been affected by war and conflict.

They also have a charitable wallet designated to ocean welfare and sustainability. This demonstrates the sincerity of the Big Eyes development team and their care and concern for the future and welfare of humanity and the planet. It is rare to witness such charitable concern for such a young project, still in its presale. This stands as a testament to the fundamental beliefs of the development team.

What does the future look like for Big Eyes?

Well as the old adage goes, cats always land on their feet, and this is particularly true for Big Eyes Coin. The project has well and truly made its impact on the market in its short existence so far and looks set to continue making waves in the crypto market.

With nearly $3 million raised so far and phase 2 of the presale nearing completion, now is the best time to get involved in the Big Eyes presale and competitions.

To put some context into the kind of returns possible off a $300 investment in the Big Eyes presale:

300 USDT in phase 2 of the presale would buy $2.29 million tokens.

If Big Eyes were to achieve a total market capitalization (once launched) of $500 million, that $300 would be worth over $87,000!

While this seems like a min-boggling feat with a lot of ‘ifs’, a $500 million valuation is very achievable in a cryptocurrency bull market. With an exciting project like this, the sky is the limit.

Why 2022 will bring Solana and Big Eyes Unfathomable Returns!

0

We are firmly into the second half of 2022 and the cryptocurrency market is beginning to show strength. It’s widely believed that the market has bottomed out and now is the perfect time to start accumulating new innovative projects and cryptocurrencies that have survived the bear market: Big Eyes Coin and Solana make great examples. Further to this, recent CPI figures suggest that US inflation rates have begun to slow down, giving further credibility to the strength in the market.

How does this impact the Solana price prediction?

Cryptocurrency adoption has only increased over the last year. You might not be aware of this because innovative projects – Solana – like building rather than marketing themselves in bear markets. This typically means that come the confirmation of the crypto bull market, there is a host of positive news, information and upgrades to the project which sends the price flying.

As shown in the graphic below (Solanafloor.com – 13/09/22) the Solana NFT total floor value has just taken out its 3-month high and is seeing increased transaction volume. This spike in price and activity gives a great deal of confluence to not only the beginnings of a new bull market but to the success of the SOL token price over the next few years.

The SOL token governs everything on the Solana blockchain, from P2P transactions, usage of dApps on its network and the buying and selling of Solana NFTs. This resurgence in NFT volume and price shows that the confidence in the Solana network, despite recent outages, is still extremely strong. If there is a blockchain that can take on Ethereum, Solana is your best bet.

2022 is the year of the Tiger. Why you should bet on Big Eyes.

Big Eyes Coin is the latest innovative meme token to appear on our radar and there is good reason to believe in its success. Branching away from the saturated ‘doge’-fueled meme coin industry, Big Eyes is a cute cat-themed project.

The current heavyweights of the meme coin market are Dogecoin and Shiba Inu and both centre around the Shiba dog. This begs the question of how two different meme coins can share the exact same marketing strategies and both take a huge share of the crypto market.

In our opinion, this gives Big Eyes a huge amount of potential for future growth over the coming bull market as there is a vacant spot for a heavy-hitting cat meme coin.

Why Big Eyes Coin over another Cat-inspired meme token?

The Big Eyes development team have done a fantastic job on marketing in the very short time the project has been active. Having raised over $2 million in its first presale phase, this really stands as a testament to the hard work and creativity of the development team.

Big Eyes does not intend to stand on ceremony either, with a launch on Uniswap scheduled for the end of the year as well as an NFT collection to be launched in late Q4 or early 2023. This NFT collection will permit entry to the Big Eyes NFT Sushi Crew, a club that potentially in the future could be likened to the Bored Ape Yacht Club community. With all this in mind, it is not hard to comprehend how the project has already raised $2 million, with plenty more news and funding surely on the horizon.

Cryptocurrency adoption is growing fast and if we are on the verge of a new cryptocurrency bull market, the most innovative projects with strong marketing will fly first. Both Big Eyes and Solana qualify for these categories and make very safe investments going into the next year or two. As Big Eyes is still in its presale phases, it could very well bring you that 100x + ROI you’ve been scouting for in the bear market.

It’s A Meme Coin Bonanza! Big Eyes Coin, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu Look To Dominate The Market In Q4

0

The meme coin trend started with the introduction of Dogecoin (DOGE) to the crypto market in 2013. The platform, created by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus, was started as a joke. However, it quickly became one of the most dominant sectors of the crypto market.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) joined the market in 2020 as a competitor to Dogecoin and saw one of the biggest jumps in value, rising by 46,000,000%! However, there is a new cryptocurrency in town, called Big Eyes Coin (BIG). The new platform has been grabbing the headlines for its innovative features and high return potential. Let’s find out why these cryptocurrencies could dominate Q4.

Big Eyes Coin Hits The $2 Million Mark!

Big Eyes Coin focuses on being a community-driven cryptocurrency, allocating 70% of its tokens to the public during its presale. The presale has hit the $2 million mark, showcasing how popular Big Eyes Coin is becoming in the meme crypto community.

If you’ve ever wanted to own a cute feline NFT, you can! Big Eyes Coin aims to have an NFT collection in the top ten projects, with NFT events taking place each season. The Big Eyes Coin NFTs can be used to access exclusive events, including the Big Eyes Sushi Crew, which is a club for those holding Big Eyes NFTs!

Big Eyes Coin is hosting a 250k giveaway! That’s right, 250,000 precious BIG tokens are going straight to the community. The competition will pick ten winners, with the first taking home 100,000 tokens. The rest is divided between the other nine winners. The winners are announced when the competition ends on the 11th of December.

Dogecoin – Where The Meme Coin Market Began

Dogecoin currently boasts an impressive market capitalisation of $8 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The mammoth number has catapulted it into the top ten cryptocurrencies, showing how crucial meme coins are in the crypto market.

Dogecoin has received regular attention from billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. Each tweet that Elon Musk posts to his 100 million followers have often resulted in a price spike for Dogecoin. When it was announced that Elon Musk would purchase a stake in Twitter, Dogecoin rose by 27%!

Dogecoin has fluctuated in value throughout its history. However, it shows its potential to explode in the future, making it a viable contender for your portfolio when the price is low.

Can Shiba Inu Overtake Its Main Competitor?

Shiba Inu has lived in Dogecoin’s shadow since its inception. However, the meme coin has provided fruitful returns for its holders throughout its short history, making it a desirable cryptocurrency to hold at the right time.

An Ethereum (ETH) whale has purchased 550 billion SHIB tokens ahead of the merge! Could this be a sign of a potential price rally in the future? All signs point to yes as Shiba Inu has increased by 1.43% in the last seven days at the time of writing.

The introduction of the Shiba Inu Metaverse could happen in Q4 of 2022. Is this the push that Shiba Inu needs to overtake its main rival, Dogecoin? Shiba Inu currently has a market capitalisation that is $2 billion smaller than Dogecoin. However, if one thing is guaranteed in the crypto market, it is surprises.

Final Thoughts

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu both have the potential to explode and dominate the market through Q4. Meme coins are known for their high return potential, helping some users earn fortunes through their price volatility.

However, meme coins often have a low utility which can result in a reduction in value. Big Eyes Coin takes the high return potential from its meme coin status and combines it with an ecosystem full of utility. If you’re looking for a token that could dominate Q4, let it be Big Eyes Coin.
