I will advise you to have all the networks. To get each network sim card is very cheap and they do come with many offers. Go for MTN, Etisalat and Airtel and see the best one that have network in your area.

If you do not want to buy the SIM cards, look for the one that its mast is closer to your house or where you are browsing. The closer the mast the better the network.

I can recommend MTN because I have been to so many places outside my state and it remains the most reliable.

No be lie na MTN get coverage pass for naija whether village or town if you compare the network connectivity, coverage and services na MTN still pass.

You don really give am advise to add other networks just incase and for somebody wey dey always dey online, omo the person still need to support at least one more network including MTN.

So Op, you go just need close eyes go get MTN and you go surprise say that small network coverage from MTN go better pass when you get full network indicator for your phone from other networks.

Of course, concerns and anxieties are always there, and the same goes for Nigeria, they are very worried that the presence of crypto in their country could lead to misuse of crypto currency due to the risk of money laundering, while the level of corruption cases in that country is quite high. . The government is only worried that this crypto will be used as a means to launder money for corruptors.


To me this is the least of worries from the government. Money laundering or corruption practices through cryptocurrency is not the problem for the government or reason for banning crypto back then in Nigeria. It emanated from the #Endsars agitation that encompasses police brutality on the people and other extra judicial killings going on in the country and still going on presently. So the agitators on the streets on Nigeria across all the states needed to be financed because they stayed like two weeks day and night on the streets. The financers of this protest did that through cryptocurrency because they don't want to be easily traced through fiat and so the government woke up to freeze those exchange accounts that where link to the banks.

Therefore, the banning was more of an afterthought not a predetermined policy of the government backed with their monetary policy but just because they want to get to some people and not to allow untraceable financing of any such of agitation.

It is not to check money laundering or corruption because they don't need crypto to launder money. They are not quite serious to fight corruption . Hopefully, the unbanning will help more trade to freely open up among the youths.

One thing I know about gamblers and its addicts is that there is the believe and zeal to win is always there. They are optimistic to win and that is why they another game for next round try and unfortunately winning is not given on a platter of gold so either they fail more or they are just within a fair luck here and there as we know the house edge override the possibility for a winning over losing. There is a believe to win and that is why the next game is queued up without recourse to loses, debt loans or emotional stability.

The fact that the chance is always there to win is what make most people coming back and especially gamblers following that win.They of course have a pathological optimism that brings them to the casino again despite several heavy losing sessions before and if they did not have it then it means they would be more practical and pragmatic to stop playing or coming back to play at the casino,they lack also analysis of what just happened to them as they pass it as something normal when in fact it is not normal to lose a lot of money yet they think in the next session they will recover that money which is what leads to them coming back and back asking for more until they get addicted,they are pretty readable,the gamblers.

Yes and in this light one would wonder if optimism is used in the right sense by gambling addicts or that they are miss using it and allowing it to work on them wrongly because when you see that you have lost 1,2,3 and more times but you decide to be positively optimistic to stay and keep trying on it, on what the basis is luck.

Optimistic is suppose to be used for what you can have little or some control and then you add or strengthen your effort to make it work. For example if you have failed in an example and you know you didn't prepare very well for the exam, hence you can be optimistic to pass next time because you know you had no effort in the first time and that if you strengthen your effort the next time then you are likely to pass but gambling is not that way because the effort is not on your on influence or control and this is why addicts keep going deep as optimistic gamblers.

We need to understand something about kidnapping. The thing no just dey happen randomly except someone innocent just run into them maybe when dem dey operate, otherwise na by arrangement e dey happen because na rat wey dey house go outside go tell another rat say fish dey inside the house wey him dey.

Na rare cases we you go see say dem just kidnap person wey dem know no him worth already. So no be even by alert message but the information wey kidnappers carry enter the arrangement. So dem fit even dey talk say na the transaction attract dem just to cover traces of informant. Okay why dem kidnap him in the first place.

we find that kids are more invested in the latest trend or swag than they are in learning something worthwhile.
 

i would say that trends have always been a thing that kids or youngsters follow in the last 3 or 4 decades where pop culture has emerged it has also increased the popularity of trends i think that in every generation the older one will always have something to say about the new ones we are already seeing it with millennials when it was them who was getting picked on by the older generation before them

Actually pop culture or music didn't contribute anything in isolation to modernity. It is change that has affected all areas of human life. Things will keep changing as boys become men while men become elders with wisdom to pass down knowledge from experience. Things have changed and no doubt about that which is the reason that so many kids follow the current trend of social media against the idea of parents who have more experience than those kids.
1007  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Is WinTomato casino SCAM? on: December 23, 2023, 08:30:32 PM
Except you have had other people using their casino complain about same issue but otherwise you have to read and follow their referral conditions to be show that you are aligning to what the rules are. For instance if they are taking off your accrued referrals so as they won't have to reward you for that intentionally and not that you contravened any of the terms then you can sure suspect something phishing. Anyway to get more of what is happening to the referral program then you get to their customer service.
1008  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks secret door for cheaper cash on: December 23, 2023, 06:42:37 PM
Banks are close associates of the government and they carry out the financial plans and policies of government. Presently, we can not sperate the banks from government because of those financial policies including interest rate increase when government wants to mop up excess liquidity in circulation. When government also want to devalue, they don't just do that by mere wish but they make policy through the centre bank and it flows down to banks and the people. No matter how we try to look into the cheats running through the banks against the people regards to overcharge in services rendered, the government uses the centre bank as a major implementing pot to her projects and for now the government can't rely of crypto for that and not any time soon especially because they can not manipulate crypto like fiat through the banks in regulating inflow and outflow of transactions as to how they want to run the economy.
1009  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The rate of divorce in the society on: December 23, 2023, 04:31:00 PM
I noticed that divorce is now a normal thing , people will get married today and in less than two months they are divorced already..I heard a story of how a man after seeing the wife's face without  make-up the following morning divorced his wife saying he was deceived that she is not as beautiful as he sees her before.
But our forefathers has been with same women for decades, is it exposure ? Who is really the problem ? The man or the woman?


This is the reason that people that are dating should be open to each other because when you keep certain things away , by the time it is discovered it will become a problem. The time of dating is the time of discovery and learning to adjust to certain things you have not found in the person or their excesses. If this is not done then there is the chance that problem might arise in the future.

Divorce is because people fall out of love and are no longer compactible with each other and if it happens like that I think it will not be a good idea that death will occur because of forcing what is not working out. To be alive to say your story is better than someone saying it for you when you are dead from an abusive marriage.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 23, 2023, 02:41:34 PM
I have not been influenced by streamers because I understand they are all promoting and advertising the casino they are under so it is not really my focus that they are pushing out big profit but I concentrate on the what the casino stand for and I check the reviews on it, so if I'm cool with it then I could make my own independent decision apart from what the streamer is doing. I know streamers seldom lose in their games and the reality is different.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one did you use to gamble with more on: December 23, 2023, 11:00:24 AM
I understand that betting is luck based and no matter the kind of betting you do, if you don't do the right thing and reduce your risk then you will regret. In other words, it is about being responsible to your betting psychology.

I don't like to bet on visuals because it doesn't appear real to me, it looks highly animated and the game is not fun as it is really just meant those seeking quick bet for money yet you waste more money faster than you know. I prefer live soccer bet more anyway.
1012  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 23, 2023, 10:07:56 AM
I don't understand that why you are comparing gambling against for Forex trading. I think this to things are completely different to each other gambling is fully depend on luck on the others hand forex depend on your skill. Anyway, I think the suggestions you have given below are two but basically one suggestion because when you gamble from the limit, once you touch the limit, you have to take a break from gambling.

I don't think Op is talking about trading or forex neither is he comparing it to gambling. From what he is saying, it is a guide to responsible gambling which he talked about two points on bankroll management and taking a break. So that is what I understand and not about really about forex trading and of course it is not the same thing with gambling. They are far apart and like you rightly said gambling is luck base and trading involves skill.
1013  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: December 22, 2023, 09:50:44 PM
Abortion is not a welcome idea!... That's why they're are preventive measures when engaging with intercourse

The buttom line is to be careful while having fun with some people because sometimes you don't like the person and then you won't allow the person to keep the baby and then to opt for abortion. It destroy the chances of someone getting pregnant when they actually want it. Having an abortion is risky.
1014  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Poverty change people on: December 22, 2023, 07:57:53 PM
Poverty changes people very badly makes people liars. Become helpless and hypocritical. Poverty can take people in any situation poor people cannot adequately meet their needs. The effects of poverty can affect a child as an adult which can lead to chronic illness and lack of education or ability to work. The impact of poverty is more than just missing a meal. Families struggle with chronic food insecurity hunger and malnutrition.

Money is a strong contributor to the way we look and down to the children. Money can make an ugly child look very fine and adorable to look at even the skin will change because the child is well taken care of both in nutrition. Likewise a parent that is wealthy and a poor parent are not compared.

If you don't take care of your health you can fall sick faster because your body needs proper health check-up to cleanse infection of all types that can cause further health damage to the organs. Money is such a vital factor to healthy living.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: December 22, 2023, 06:29:18 PM
Normally Gambling is not something that  will just affect some one relationship mostly well managed, but what can cause that is being addicted to it when you're gambling non stop to cover your losses really fast and end losing more in that process can lead to financial difficulties, mostly when you start using your hard earn cashes when supposed to be using cashes  you risk. That may also lead mental break down and anger issues affecting your partner.

Gambling can affect the relationship whether it is well managed or not, that is if either of the party didn't like it and it was never shown before the relationship or marriage began. Some character can be hidden during the beginning of a relationship and they start displaying them when it has gone into the relationship. If the other party later discover especially if the question about such character was asked and it was denied.

For example pertaining to gambling, some ladies don't like their men to gamble for their own reasons, like such women usually feel it is wasting of money. So if the man deny being a gambler in the initial stage and later start displaying it, it can cause problem.

1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 22, 2023, 02:42:39 PM
And if you like football betting and have good knowledge, you can win every match. It will allow you to win some money from sports betting. So please don't have any problems with gambling, and I don't have any of those problems either. I consider gambling to be a place to have fun.

I believe most people who have been frustrated from their gambling loses are those who believe they are knowledgeable and have relied so much on it but they get disappointed. Sports betting especially soccer is not just about knowledge because some favourite have lost so many times that make some people feel their is match fixing and some manipulation from bookies on their odd swap. I have seen some ridiculously low odds losing and that means those were the favourite teams.
1018  Other / Politics & Society / Re: women goes through a lot when they don't get married on: December 22, 2023, 01:12:23 PM
.

I knew of a woman that in her family it's only her that didn't got married, she is being treated badly  even her household members, they always try to mock her at every slit opportunity, because she is more than 50years of age now.

That is the challenge of not getting married for a woman most times especially if she doesn't know her right and doesn't have worth or have not created value on herself. A woman that is independent and has a good source of living doesn't face such kind of treatment and that is changing also because the women folk are becoming wiser with feminism and gender equality advocacy. So many women are lawyers, doctors, nurses, engineers etc, so they can feed themselves even without men unlike in the past that they solely depended on men for survival.

.
To me the most ugliest part of it is that in some part of the world,  women are not given part of their inheritance, it's only the male child, they believe that woman will get married and have a new home.

Even in those part of the world, things have changed and the women challenge certain segregation and disenfranchisement up to supreme court and get positive judgement that are changing the narratives.

.

The most painful part of it is even the ones that got married and found their self in an abusive marriage, will find it difficult to walk away because she doesn't want to stay unmarried. Please let's all of protect our women, they also have the right to live.


That was in the past as things have changed. Some women preach adoption alot especially those women from abusive homes, those that their fathers were abusive to them and their mothers. These women these days prefer not to stay under a man as husband that they are married to but prefer to cohabit and procreate after which they are at liberty to walk away. Some go straight for adoption if they have proved to have resources to take care of the child. So many things are changing and have changed even in Africa and other less technologically developed countinents.
1019  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 22, 2023, 12:12:16 PM
Also what I would like to see in a casino review is the customer care relationship with players, the accusations or alleged scam on the casino and how they were able to let themselves off it by providing evidence that they are not scammers. This is important because everything about review of casino centres on scam or not so to include this area to the review will be quite interesting and important.
1020  Economy / Economics / Re: Crisis everywhere it's time to come together and unite on: December 22, 2023, 10:34:57 AM
Times like this it's time to join and unite together
So what is the next innovative business we should do ?
Times are difficult and we feel like victims of beyrayel
I see that anyone who bring up some good idea not trusted instantly....but only way is unite together many people don't have income anymore and no money.
So who from us Will create us new currency? And we All use this currency and get some airdrop ?


We can make our own stablecoin backed by BTC so it's not difficult Im surprised why our Community people not done this and airdrop us nice amount....so i go and buy finally lambo.
And the good thing about currency is you dont have to back up with gold or btc fully ...you can create 50% out of thin air easy ...it's like the stablecoins airdrops everybody want this but nobody haven't done for us.



You too can try the bounty section to try your luck on the airdrop coins perhaps it could get you all the riches that you crave for and lambo. For this forum here, you might be doing a wishful thinking for someone to drop you some coins.

In the past on the bounty hunting you could get some airdrop coins by doing little task and I'm not sure how people got limbo, no but you are only sure to receive the airdropped coins but not anymore. No guarantee for airdrop coins anywhere, so get up and get busy  Grin
