Are Central Bank Digital Currencies now used in (corrupt) Nigeria?

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Wirral In It Together
Cityscape composed of smartphone-shaped skyscrapers connected by glowing pathways with a large digital coin labeled National Digital Currency 2024 hovering above.
A glowing digital coin floats above a cityscape made of interconnected smart devices and skyscrapers.

Yes, the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) known as the eNaira is currently in use in Nigeria, having been launched in October 2021 as Africa’s first retail CBDC. Despite its official availability and technical integration into the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System, adoption remains critically low, with reports indicating that up to 98.5% of issued wallets have never been used and only a small fraction of the population actively utilizes the digital currency. 

Key aspects of eNaira usage include:

Low Adoption Rates: While the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) reported modest growth in wallet numbers, independent assessments and IMF data suggest the currency has failed to gain significant traction among the general public, who largely prefer physical cash or cryptocurrencies. 

Government Push vs. Public Resistance: The CBN has attempted to boost usage through measures such as contactless payment upgrades, discounts for cab fares, and integrating eNaira into banking apps, but these efforts have not overcome public skepticism or the preference for traditional cash. 

Strategic Reevaluation: Following the arrest of former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele and a period where the CBDC was deprioritized, current leadership has indicated plans to reevaluate the eNaira project in 2025 to determine its future viability and strategy. 

“It’s now 2026. What happened with the reevaluation?”

As of 2026, the reevaluation of Nigeria’s eNaira CBDC, initiated in 2025, has culminated in a significant strategic shift. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), under Governor Olayemi Cardoso, has acknowledged the eNaira’s failure to gain meaningful adoption despite its technical operation. The comprehensive review identified persistent barriers such as low public trust, poor digital infrastructure, and a strong preference for physical cash. 

The key outcome of this reevaluation is that the CBN has effectively deprioritized the eNaira and formed a new task force to explore the development of an official Nigerian stablecoin.  This move, reported in October 2025, signals a potential pivot away from the current CBDC model towards a system that may better align with market dynamics and user preferences, potentially leveraging the country’s vibrant cryptocurrency ecosystem. While the eNaira platform still exists, its future is uncertain as the central bank focuses on this new stablecoin initiative in partnership with international bodies like the IMF and World Bank. 

“Why was former CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele arrested?”

Godwin Emefiele, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was initially arrested in June 2023 by the Department of State Services (DSS) shortly after President Bola Tinubu took office. The immediate, publicly stated charge was the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, which many viewed as a pretext for a broader investigation. 

The primary reason for his arrest and subsequent prosecution stems from serious allegations of financial crimes and corruption during his tenure as CBN Governor.  Key charges brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other agencies include:

Fraud and Money Laundering: Accusations of embezzling over $6 million by allegedly forging a presidential cheque and laundering funds through proxy accounts. 

Criminal Breach of Trust and Abuse of Office: For allegedly awarding himself and associates multimillion-naira contracts and benefits without due process. 

Illegal Acquisition of Property: Specifically, the alleged unlawful acquisition of a housing estate with 753 units in Abuja. 

Illicit Foreign Exchange Allocation: Facing charges related to the fraudulent allocation of $2 billion in foreign exchange. 

Forgery: For allegedly forging documents, including an “Irrevocable Power of Attorney,” to facilitate illicit transactions. 

His arrest followed intense scrutiny of his controversial policies, such as the rushed naira currency redesign, and his attempt to run for president, which was seen as overstepping his role. The investigation, led by a presidential panel, uncovered evidence of widespread financial misconduct, leading to multiple charges

Misgivings? No way, but I do wonder where this is going to end up. Wirral CO2 carbon capture pipeline, land and property trusts, etc. (This post was first written a couple of months ago, but not published until now)

Posted on May 18, 2026 by Wirral In It Together

The first thing to say is my name is Paul Cardin, and I do everything out in the open – with my full name attached, whether it’s physical and for real or online – and have done ever since I blew the whistle at Wirral Council on a financial scam 23 years ago. Wow? Is it really that long? I didn’t even know I was what’s now called a “whistleblower” at the time and naively thought council directors would urgently step in to protect me. How wrong I was.

Ultimately, although regarded as a ‘troublemaker’, I won my case and defeated the trumped up gross misconduct charges that came my way. So I wasn’t sacked.

I won’t rant on about my subsequent activity here, but I don’t believe my honesty / integrity is open to question. Others may think it is, that’s fair enough, but everyone out there can go some way towards reassuring themselves by putting my name into any online search engine (I never give G**gle free publicity) and doing a studied search for what I’ve been up to on behalf of myself, my family and others – often vulnerable others – who’ve come under attack by employer, authority, business, council, and central government ne’erdowells – for whatever reason – over the last couple of decades.

This is why I was a little bit concerned to receive the following message from the not readily identifiable leader of the No CO2 pipeline – Wirral Facebook group this morning. This group is doing sterling work, has had truly amazing beginnings and has 5,000+ members after only two weeks:

The money that was asked for referred to travelling expenses here and back from / to Essex for one person. There is no charge for the event itself, which is free.

The post I made on Facebook is now gone. (I never kept a copy, so I can’t reproduce it here). It briefly summarised the contents of the following Wirral In It Together blog post:

Wirral CO2 Peak Cluster, Carbon Capture news. Latest. Are you a landowner in the path of this proposed pipeline? Have you considered a land / property trust?

The primary reason I’ve now gone public on this situation is that my intention – above all else – is and always will be to try and get this pipeline stopped…!

Secondary to that is the desire to help and advise other people.

Thirdly, I would like to continue to exercise my free speech (okay, I’m aware free speech isn’t a right and is a ‘grey area’ here in the UK).

I am politically homeless and my public activities cannot be purchased for a price. I believe that goes without saying.

Anyone can reassure themselves about me and my motivations by doing a simple online search. I’m now in a position where I can’t get this important information out directly to landowners because they don’t necessarily follow my blog or the website of The Wirral Residents Association, whereas there will likely be a fair number of them subscribing to No CO2 pipeline – Wirral. Frustrating…!

In the ideal world, once they have all the information and have studied it, landowners can decide for themselves whether they want to attend the event in order to invest in the promised protection of land and property trusts or not. They don’t really need someone else shielding them from it, whilst blocking access.

I cannot vouch for the trustworthiness of land and property trusts as yet, neither for the integrity of the as yet unnamed third party, but guess who uses them as if they’re going out of fashion? The elites.

I was hoping to get enough people interested in order to make it worth having this meeting – an organised, local event – at some point in the future.

The speaker’s name will be published once I know that the event is definitely going ahead. Those who are interested can then access the website information and make an informed decision on whether to attend.

This may succeed and ultimately block a dangerous and unwanted pipeline, or it may all just fizzle out. I accept that, but I just don’t know what is going to occur without a crystal ball.

I have absolutely nothing to gain here, apart from the satisfaction of A. Blocking this pipeline, B. Protecting other people, and C. Being in a position to share information freely.

I have three people interested in attending so far. Onwards and upwards…!

Is Freedom of Speech protected by law / constitution in the United Kingdom?

Posted on May 18, 2026 by Wirral In It Together

Freedom of speech in the United Kingdom is not protected by a single, written constitution or a supreme constitutional clause equivalent to the US First Amendment.  Instead, it is primarily protected by statute and common law, most notably through the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law. 

Key Legal Protections and Limitations

Qualified Right: Under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998, freedom of expression is a qualified right, meaning it can be restricted if the government deems such restrictions “necessary in a democratic society” to protect national security, public safety, health, morals, or the rights of others. 

Statutory Restrictions: A network of modern statutes significantly limits speech, including the Public Order Act 1986 (criminalizing speech intended to stir up racial or religious hatred), the Communications Act 2003 (prohibiting grossly offensive online communications), and the Online Safety Act. 

Parliamentary Privilege: Freedom of speech for Members of Parliament is historically guaranteed by the Bill of Rights 1689, which states that debates and proceedings in Parliament cannot be “impeached or questioned” in any court or place outside of Parliament. 

Residual Liberty: Historically, free speech existed as a residual freedom, meaning individuals were free to say anything that was not explicitly forbidden by statute or common law (such as laws against defamation, obscenity, or incitement to crime). 

While the UK ranks higher than the US in some global press freedom indices, critics argue that the lack of a rigid constitutional backstop allows Parliament to theoretically alter or curtail these protections through ordinary legislation. 

“Can I use my freedom of speech ‘rights’ to say “Globalise the Intifada” in public in the UK?”

There is no absolute “right” to say “Globalise the Intifada” in public in the UK, and doing so carries a significant risk of arrest, particularly in London and Greater Manchester. 

While the UK does not have a constitutional right to free speech, the phrase is protected in principle under the Human Rights Act 1998 as freedom of expression.  However, this is a qualified right.

The Metropolitan Police and Greater Manchester Police have announced they will “act decisively and make arrests” in response to placards and chants using this phrase, citing a changed security context after attacks in Manchester and Sydney.  They argue the slogan can be seen as threatening or abusive and may stir up racial or religious hatred, falling under offences in the Public Order Act 1986. 

The legality hinges on context and intent.  Authorities like the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) must prove the speaker intended to stir up hatred or provoke violence. Critics, including academics and human rights groups, argue that arresting people for this chant risks a “chilling effect” on legitimate political speech and protest, especially for Palestinian solidarity. The government has not banned the phrase outright, but police are actively enforcing existing laws against it. 

“What if I clearly say “Clobolize the Interfarter” in public?”

Saying “Clobolize the Interfarter” in public is highly unlikely to lead to arrest in the UK, as the phrase appears to be a nonsensical or humorous mispronunciation with no known political or threatening meaning.

The original phrase, “Globalise the Intifada,” is being actively policed in some UK areas due to its association with political conflict and potential to incite hatred. However, “Clobolize the Interfarter” does not convey a clear, threatening message and would likely be interpreted as gibberish or satire. 

Since UK laws on public order and hate speech require the speech to be threatening, abusive, or intended to stir up hatred, this specific utterance would not meet the threshold for prosecution under statutes like the Public Order Act 1986.
