Meanwhile the budget to run the Nigerian Senate this 2017 is N215billion. A government that has not in anyway supported or encouraged the Nigerian entertainment industry,now thinks it can control it. An industry that men and women have single handedly built? BIG JOKE! ' 'We watch you use the country any how you like because unfortunately, you are the ones at the helm of affairs.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman John Clayton had harsh words for those dodging SEC regulations today at a Senate banking committee hearing: “Many ICOs [initial coin offerings] are being conducted illegally. Their promoters and other participants are not following our security laws,” Clayton said. “Some people say that’s because the law isn’t clear. I do not buy that for a moment.” Clayton and J.
