Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express displeasure with former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, over his comments on the Central Bank of Nigeria’s clampdown on cryptocurrency.

Recall that the apex bank order on Friday that all banks must, with immediate effect, close all accounts that transact in cryptocurrency because it is prohibited in the country, adding that banks that fail to do so will face severe punishment for flouting the CBN’s instructions.

The move has since led to backlashes form many Nigerians as some called the government’s decision an attack on the youths, while some say its a move dragging the country back. Twitter users have also been humming over a possible second #EndSARS protest.

Reacting to the government’s decision to hammer down on crypto in the country, Garba, who is gradually becoming a public enemy in places other than the North for comments made on social issues overtime, advised those who have been affected by the order to invest in cows.

Garba said:

Better Investments! Those who might have lost their monies through a shortcut business called Crypto should learn to invest on real assets, like cows, which assured of huge returns on investment. Cow Ranching business is more lucrative than all cryptocurrencies combined.
