I was going to post this in the beginners section, but it seems to be the mid ranking members that do this. It is against the forum rules to beg for merit, and not all members are as lenient as I am. If I receive these begging PMs then I just put the member on ignore, so he won't get any merit from me, no matter how good his posting may be. I don't get very many, but I have had a couple recently, so I thought it was time to remind members about merit begging. I don't sell merit either, but it must be over a year since I have had a request to sell merit.

If you want me to award you with merit, apart from the standard awards, then persuade me to revive one of my old projects, so that members can earn merit ,and  be of benefit to the forum.

Simply because globalization is an off shoot of modernity. You don't want to have difficulties in global scheme and trade especially for allied nations, maybe that could be a reason. Because if we view countries recently adopting digital system, they are almost countries with trade affiliations. At least for now, we can relate the reason with that.

I'm not sure if this news will affect adoption or crypto investments in Nigeria at all. Enrolling in ICT courses does not really mean it will include crypto and blockchain also for the facts that it was not mentioned, but one thing I can say about this is that it's a good thing for the people there. They can learn and increase their knowledge about digital literacy and skills that will be helpful for them, knowing that we're continuously adapting to technology and the digital world.

Wouldn't verify.

I also would hate to have to set an age bar to keep people from signing up multiple accounts just to claim some merit from this thread.
