The crux of the challenge centers around education – the government and central bank have struggled to educate Nigerians about the CBDC and explain how it's different from cryptos they are familiar with, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Yeah, "struggled". I think if they do it properly and honestly, people would buy Bitcoin.

Except nation-states use violence to force you to buy their shitcoin. Happens already in some countries (where it is a crime to use foreign currency in commerce).
