Ecommerce Journal is a well-respected online news website about e-commerce and is one of the few websites I visit regularly. They have been predicting doom for Liberty Reserve in recent times and have done the same with one of their recent articles. The thrust of my blog post however is to react to a paragraph [...]

I came across the Nigeria Customs Service website a few weeks ago and I think it is worth mentioning as I consider it the most professional website of a Nigerian government agency. It is commonplace to see websites of Nigerian government agencies shabbily done. The official portal of the Federal Government of Nigeria www.nigeria.gov.ng is [...]

It’s now crystal clear to me that there is something certainly wrong with the Nigerian Country Code Top Level Domain (cc-TLD), the .ng domain registry. It is bad enough that for the past 3 weeks, I have had 5 domains in the final stages of registration, but no action has been taken by NIRA and [...]

I got to know about CashCards for the first time, in June 2002. At that time, they were offering V-cash (a digital currency system), a VISA ATM card, e-gold to v-cash transfer and vice-versa. CashCards was also running GoldLynks. According to their website in 2001: The GoldLynks Club Dedicated to the Advancement and Enrichment of [...]

Cash Cards LLC, operators of the not-so-popular V-Cash digital currency have freezed the V-Cash account of Nigerian account holders, citing the money-laundering activities in the West African nation as a reason.
