Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, took a significant step and pulled the Nigerian Naira from the P2P platform.         

全球最大的加密货币交易所币安迈出了重要一步，将尼日利亚奈拉从 P2P 平台上撤下。

Removing the Nigerian currency, the Naira, from peer-to-peer (P2P) service again turned the sights of individuals towards the Binance exchange. The Nigerian government’s claim for $10 billion in compensation emerged as a major rationale behind Binance’s strict action. P2P platform permits individuals to trade, sell, or buy digital assets without third-party involvement. The platform became popular among Nigerians in 2021.           

将尼日利亚货币奈拉从点对点 (P2P) 服务中删除，再次将个人的目光转向了币安交易所。尼日利亚政府要求 100 亿美元的赔偿成为币安采取严格行动的主要原因。 P2P 平台允许个人在没有第三方参与的情况下交易、出售或购买数字资产。该平台于 2021 年在尼日利亚人中流行起来。

Binance Vs. Nigeria: The whole story 

币安VS。尼日利亚：整个故事

An aide to President Bola Tinubu said that Nigeria will demand cryptocurrency exchange Binance to pay $10 Billion for alleged damages caused to the government by its operations.

总统 Bola Tinubu 的一名助手表示，尼日利亚将要求加密货币交易所币安支付 100 亿美元，因其运营给政府造成损害。

“This country suffered huge losses from their operations and the government is asking for a small amount from them,” said Bayo Onanuga, the president’s adviser on information and strategy. 

总统信息和战略顾问巴约·奥纳努加 (Bayo Onanuga) 表示：“这个国家因他们的行动遭受了巨大损失，政府正在向他们索要少量资金。”

“We are demanding them to pay us nearly $10 billion in compensation because they really ruined our economy in a very short time,” he said.

“我们要求他们向我们支付近100亿美元的赔偿，因为他们确实在很短的时间内摧毁了我们的经济，”他说。

Onanuga accused traders of using the crypto exchange to manipulate Nigeria’s currency, weakening the central bank, which he said is “the only authority that can fix the country’s exchange rates.” 

奥纳努加指责交易员利用加密货币交易所操纵尼日利亚货币，削弱了尼日利亚央行，他表示央行是“唯一能够确定该国汇率的机构”。

He verified reports earlier this week that two members of the Binance team “were detained when they came to Nigeria.”.

他证实了本周早些时候的报道，称币安团队的两名成员“在来到尼日利亚时被拘留”。

According to news publication Premium Times, Nigeria’s national security adviser’s office said law enforcement agencies and the central bank are investigating Binance’s operations in the country.

据新闻媒体《Premium Times》报道，尼日利亚国家安全顾问办公室表示，执法机构和央行正在调查币安在该国的业务。

However, the exchange didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment from Semafor Africa.

不过，该交易所没有立即回复 Semafor Africa 的置评请求。

Stepping back 

后退一步

It is not the first time Nigerian administrations have requested a huge amount from a foreign company for alleged breaches. Nigeria charged a $5.2 billion fine on South African telecoms company MTN for failing to disconnect 5 million unrecorded SIM cards. The company bargained the fine down to $980 million, which it paid in 2019.

这并不是尼日利亚政府第一次因涉嫌违规行为向外国公司索要巨额赔偿。尼日利亚因未能断开 500 万张未记录 SIM 卡而对南非电信公司 MTN 处以 52 亿美元罚款。该公司通过讨价还价将罚款降至 9.8 亿美元，并于 2019 年支付。

Nigeria is facing low growth. Africa’s biggest economy increased by 2.7% last year, the lowest rate since the country’s recession in 2020, and the value of the nation’s naira currency has fallen in the wake of economic reforms presented since Tinubu took office last May.

尼日利亚正面临低增长。这个非洲最大的经济体去年增长了 2.7%，是该国 2020 年经济衰退以来的最低增长率，自蒂努布去年 5 月上任以来实施经济改革后，该国奈拉货币的价值已经下跌。
