Pi Network: Why Millions of People Around the World Are Still Paying Attention

-
Image
In the ever-changing world of cryptocurrency, few projects have generated as much curiosity and discussion as Pi Network . Since its launch, Pi Network has attracted millions of users, known as Pioneers , who mine Pi coins using their mobile phones. While the project has faced both praise and criticism, its growing community and continued development have kept it in the spotlight. One of the biggest reasons Pi Network stands out is its accessibility. Traditional cryptocurrency mining often requires expensive equipment, technical knowledge, and significant electricity consumption. Pi Network introduced a different approach by allowing users to mine Pi coins directly from their smartphones. This simple method opened the door for people who had never interacted with cryptocurrency before. The idea behind Pi Network is to make digital currency more inclusive. Instead of limiting participation to those who can afford costly mining hardware, Pi Network gives ordinary people an opportunit...

Nigerian Minister, Lai Wasted Money That Can Build Classroom Blocks In His Village To Fly To Washington, Announce My Treasonable Offence – Peter Obi

-


The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has found fault with the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, for travelling to Washington DC in the United State of America and London, UK to announce his alleged treasonable offence while he (Obi) was in Onitsha, Anambra state in Nigeria.

The former governor of Anambra State made this known during an interview on Arise TV.

According to him,  '' I'm sure that there are many places in the minister’s village where children don’t have desks in their schools or classrooms to go to school, Mohammed wasted money that is enough to build a block of six classrooms in a primary school to travel to Washington and London to accuse him of treasonable offence''.

Recall that in April, it was reported that while speaking for the Nigerian government during his official engagement with some international media organisations, the minister accused Obi and his running mate, Baba Datti-Ahmed, of treason going by their comments about the outcome of the 2023 general elections. 

He said that Obi’s comments on the just concluded general elections showed he (Obi) was acting like “a desperate person; he is not a democrat that he claimed to be,” and then cautioned Obi from inciting people to violence over the outcome of the Presidential elections.

Mohammed further stated that it was wrong for Obi to seek redress in court over the election results while inciting people to violence in another.

But speaking on the minister’s April outing in Washington, Obi described it as “the height of rascality.”

Speaking further, Obi said, “It was even announced in Washington DC. I committed a treasonable offence and I’m in Onitsha and my Minister went to announce it in Washington.

“This is what I’m talking about waste in governance but people don’t understand. The amount it cost Nigeria for him to go and announce that in Washington can build a block of six classrooms in a primary school.

“I’m sure if you go to his village, there are so many places where children don’t even have desks or classrooms to go to school and instead of using that money to and do it, he used that money to go to Washington to announce of treason of somebody who is in Onitsha.

“He doesn't need to do that. It is a rascality of the highest order. That is the reason why we want a new Nigeria where things work the way it work in other climes.

“From there he went to London announcing the same thing while I’m in Nigeria. He should have come to see me or invite me and say this is the offence.”
