1021  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: When Godfather-ism becomes a problem in Nigeria on: November 11, 2023, 02:32:39 PM
Wetin you talk na true, this thing dey common for everywhere na why anytime them wan leave the seat them dey like put their brother or godson. But sometimes I like this godfatherism because na who get godfather go enjoy the benefit just like if you get godfather wey be governor at least you sef go benefit, but in this case of wike and Joseph Fubara fight, many reasons fit dey but as we no know the cause make we no just dey follow all this bloggers dey predict for me Wike never come out talk, Fubara never come out talk the issue but every body dey suspect say na oppression, wike has ruled river state for eight good years and at a point I called Wike the best governor in Nigeria, bro, the guy dey do project like ehh Wike really try for river state most especially the capital so wetin be the oppression for? Wetin wike dey tell am to do wey he no wan do? Although some people like to do there own things there own way regardless of anyone.
Firstly this thing dey common for Nigeria and e good make godson obey he godfather. Wike for no just choose Fubara if he no agree to the terms and condition, If not of Wike I no sure say Fubara for dey that seat so since he agreed to what Wike said he should bear it rather than fighting the one that gave him the power. All this one na why Nigeria go dey backward, this one no be lie ooh even my state dey suffer from this nonsense wey them call godfathrism and godson, anything godfather talk godson go listen. Fubara should just obey rather than causing chaos in the state

in every country different rules that the government applies to women but for my own country there are none, so that between women and men have the same rights and there are no special rules, and the impact of the equal rights can be said 35% of macro businesses have been carried out by a woman and most women running micro-enterprises it is 40-45% higher, but basically in business and work men dominate because 70% of women in my country prefer to be housewives
this is my personal opinion by looking at the environment around me

Even today women are given more rights than men. As long as they have the ability and ability to take on the responsibility, they can do anything that we men can do.
Yeah it's said that what men can do women can do more better, but talking about right am not sure, Why making it look bad, like in my area women are given lesser privilege so I see women fighting through for example, when we come to the politics asspet women are not given the privilege just like what happened early march in my country a lady won the governorship election but she was not given the power to rule. But in business asspet everyone is given equal right to own and manage a business so it all depends on the person.

This your trend make sense, e show say una wan really  carry the newbies along here, I dey very conscious about making this place spam free at least from my own side and to the rest of the newbies, I get people wey I dey look up to and they were once newbie like myself and in other to grow and have a good reputation I understand what I must do. Anti spamming post don dey and the thing be say person wey wan spam go still spam but a word is enough for the wise.
The simple truth be say make everybody respect themselves, how? If u no get anything to post just leave am no force yourself abi adward dey to post? As senior men for the forum don come out to talk about the low quality post for the forum alteast make change dey small and with wetin I dey see changes don dey because the first time ehhn I dey see unnecessary topics and discussion wey no go help newbies like me. Firstly any newbie wey vex say person correct am no ready to learn because without correction person no go fit grow and now I dey see talk like "if you're correcting a newbie please correct the person in a good manner" na true sha but some people for here no sabi control themselves in essence regardless of what we are saying some people go still correct newbie in a harsh manner.
1024  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not perfect, and that's okay. on: November 10, 2023, 08:26:48 PM
I don't see how the statements made by the OP will be considered flaws because that is the characteristic of bitcoin—the nature of bitcoin itself. In fact, that is the beauty of bitcoin: its unique technology and characteristics that give investors opportunities. Volatile? I don't see that as a flaw. Yes, maybe from its word, but in bitcoin, it means profit potential. If there's no movement in the market, then there's no profit.

I agree with all the OPs who stated that not all things are perfect, even bitcoin. Yes, it can be subject to crimes and wrong deeds, but that is not the fault of bitcoin; the ones to blame are the people who commit the crimes.

So no matter what, I will still believe and do bitcoin stuff as long as I gain profit from it. This technology still has a lot to discover and can be applied to other technologies and daily lives.

There are a lot of things that have actually flaws, even other alternative investment also involves flaws cause there's no such thing as pros without cons. Bitcoin's volatility is one of the reasons why it's not yet used as an everyday currency cause you wouldn't want to sell something valuable when Bitcoin's value is low. We were just taking advantage of its volatility by simply buying at low and then selling at its highest price. But yeah from the investor's perspective, it might not be considered a flaw since that is the reason for our profits cause volatility is actually normal.
I think now in this modern world everyone wants something good even criminals, terrorist etc and it's likely said by people that bitcoin funds terrorist and putting the blame on bitcoin rather than blaming the terrorist but we can't help so we keep defending bitcoin, I don't see any flaws about bitcoin the fact is even those terrorist knows the important and it has to do with privacy so they go for it and all this should be attributed to bad government. This is actually normal cause if we want to count investments that has flaws we should be ready to mention all investments.
I don't see any need talking about volatility in bitcoin cause  investors benefit from the volatility, without the fluctuating  price of bitcoin then we should not call it an investment, I will rather call it a store of value but the fact remains that investors take advantage of the volatility.
1025  Economy / Economics / Re: "I saw my salary on a bottle of perfume today" on: November 09, 2023, 09:48:37 PM
I think we should know the worth of the perfume first before we can judge, like most people they believed they worked hard for the money and they want to spend it on themself just like spoiling themself and I don't see anything wrong there. If someone is complaining  of such thing I think the person should upgrade himself when it comes to financial matters and work rather than talking about a rich person buying a perfume worth the salary, to be honest this is the first time am hearing about this, in this modern world how can a perfume worth your salery despite the hard economy this is very wrong. But if anyone can buy a perfume worth someones salary i think we should call such a person rich, and talking about investment who knows cause most rich men are into investment. But in a situation when the person is not wealthy  i see no need spending much on perfume rather than investing the money. But the fact is if every one is satisfy and contented like meeting his needs I think that's financial freedom.
1026  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: The importance of taking Beer ( Alcohol) in moderation on: November 08, 2023, 07:56:09 PM
Lol. The funny part for this matter wey dey make me laugh be say some of them know the effect ohh some doctors don already tell them to stop the intake of alcohol but them no wan hear word because most people when them dey observe changes for body them don rush go hospital but the ones wey dey ignorant about this matter I dey call them mumu people because na ignorance na dey kill person. But I really love this thread because e dey talk about health and I wished if every alcohol addict can learn to change the rate of diabete go reduce for our society but sometimes women con dey get this illness pass men why, most women during the period of pregnancy the intake of sugary things dey too much not all sha but few people wey love sugary things and that period na them dey develop am but after that time if propal treatment is given to the patient then the person will be alright, sometimes no be only alcohol dey cause this diabete sometimes the least thing the common thing wey we no care about na dey  kill person
1027  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: No Invest in Bitcoin When U No Dey Do Anything. on: November 08, 2023, 07:24:55 PM
This one wey you talk about bitcoin investment na true, no be only bitcoin investment things like this dey happen for business wella, most people when them try open small business na them go still use their hand milk the business dry, wetin I don observe for this bitcoin investment make person no borrow money invest or make person no put huge hope for bitcoin and for this kind matter wey person no get work or business wey dey give am money and the person con decide to invest except the person wan use bitcoin gamble cause  the thing dey abnormal na, the matter just dey like pikin wey never learn how to sit down well the pikin wan rush creep . op I understand your point make person no invest for bitcoin without a job all in the name say him dey find fast money
1028  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the right age for financial stability? on: November 07, 2023, 08:28:59 PM
Well I don't know the right answer to this question cause this has to do with circumstances, conditions and life. My lecturer will always say anywhere live places you that's where you will be, that's why after graduating from the university some will first buy a car while others are still waiting, some might even get a good job while others no job. Someone can be financially stable at age 40,50 and above that's live for them but our society now see people like that as useless and lazy people which is not right. Most people get married at age 60 but we can't question that or ask the right age for marriage. But it's better everyone should work hard to live a better life and also we should remember that money does not grow on tree people work hard for it. But in a situation where the person lavish his money at an early age and forgets to save for the future, in my opinion why will a man with money spend lavishly and decide to save the money at age 30 that's what I call foolishness what happened to age 20,25, my opinion is anytime God blesses you, you start planning for your future.
1029  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: November 07, 2023, 06:30:44 PM
I think the easiest way for those of you who want to avoid excessive expenses to save your money in people who can manage your money, for example if your wife is good at managing money then trust her to manage your finances, in my opinion the average woman is good at managing money, if Do not have a wife, so the choice is your mother, it's much better for those of you who cannot control your desires.

With a note that you know they can control finances, if they are the same as you I think you only have to try more to discipline yourself in managing finances.


It is tough to save money these days since there are too many bills to pay, and if you have children, how do they manage with all the expenses? It is not easy for everyone. You make plans, and then additional problems emerge from nowhere. If you have a good wife who manages money properly, you are fortunate. The majority of women in this generation do not want to work because all they worry about is the male addressing all of their problems, which causes the man to be unstable.
I think if you differentiate your needs from want you will be able to save your money, I personally don't want to talk about needs but we humans can't do without need cause it's essential but I see want as satisfying your desire when it's not necessary like buying ice cream, going for shopping etc, I understand your point having a supportive wife that's willing to support the family now in this generation is rare.
But the op actually mentioned making a realistic budget I think that will help if everyone can keep to the budget list and secondly making a family budget doesn't stop anyone from living a luxury life, the problem is most people fail to understand how to spend their money and they find themselves running short of money, making a budget shows how dicispline a person is when it comes to financial matters.
But the 24 hours rule it sounds as an oppression cause as a family man sometimes expenses comes unexpected.
1030  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and misinformation on: November 07, 2023, 04:41:06 PM
The honest truth here is let them think what they want to think, let them say trash about bitcoin because it doesn't even affect bitcoin so I don't see any reason you convincing anyone about bitcoin when the person is not willing and ready to learn. Sometimes the people talking trash about bitcoin saying bitcoin is a scam spreading false news about bitcoin  is either bitcoin stands as a threat to them or their business. The funniest part is when blogger or influencer spread false news about bitcoin people who are not educated will decide to listen to this information.
1031  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Using the fuel subsidy money to invest in bitcoin for the country economy on: November 06, 2023, 07:30:07 PM
My people shey una see how the fuel subsidy removal has affected our economy. I keep asking my self what would have been the situation of the country economy if the president on his inaugural speech had said we are ending fuel subsidy and now we are using that same amount of money paid for subsidy and investing it on Bitcoin. And also made a bold declaration that the country has lifted all the ban placed on financial institutions facilitating cryptocurrency transactions and asked the central bank to unblock all accounts that has been blocked due to cryptocurrency transactions.
I think this would have strengthened our Naira against the USD.

I am a Bitcoin enthusiast but I believe if the president on his inauguration speech make a statement of removing subsidy and using the money to invest in Bitcoin would spark lots of controversy especially from those who aren't crypto-currency enthusiast, we have to understand that the country is ran by an elderly man and many people still running the country are elder citizens so they aren't familiar with Crypto-currency that aside if he goes on with it and there be a bear market the country would come for him, I think that move is a good one but would create lots of backlash.
This thing wey you talk no be so, you made reference of our leader wey be elderly man that one no mean because every leader needs to consider the choice of the masses I think putting the citizens choice first should be considered by all leader no be this nonsense our leaders dey do before coming out for an election to rule citizens abi na the citizens vote na so na our choice na suppose come first, even if he decide to invest in bitcoin no be him go do am na he will assign a bitcoin expect to do that. I no see anything wey wrong for this thing regardless of what people will say, even people wey no like crypto(bitcoin) definitely no be everybody go like am but people wey no like am go just adapt to am for example make we see how the fuel sudsidy removal dey affect everybody but government no even care them no mind ohh this fuel subsidy was removed to increase workers salary but still yet no salery increased still yet na government them dey thief the money e for better make them invest this money for bitcoin, bear market no dey stay for ever definitely bull market go still come
1032  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Economy affects Bitcoin investors. on: November 06, 2023, 03:18:10 PM
I no know how people dey do am oh but for me anything investment or bitcoin investment, who no get better work or wetin he dey do for a living no suppose put body for bitcoin investment, this one wey you dey call economy I no see anything wey concern bitcoin investment and economy why? Person wey no get money no fit invest no be by force sha but any person wey get little business fit start to invest regardless of the economy. I saw one thread yesterday, Akara seller don save money to start up bitcoin investment so I con surprise because even the least person wey like to invest go invest
1033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't Just HODL But HODL Wisely and Securely on: November 05, 2023, 07:58:21 PM
I love the word hodl wisely, most newbie like me fail to hodl wisely due to some reasons or I don't know sometimes for the love of quick money forgetting that bitcoin investment does not work like that. Most people get over excited about bitcoin investment and they end up falling into the hands of scammers. I don't know if this is common in crypto like in fiat, when an individual just create a new bank account they're high chance falling a victim to the hands of scammers so I don't know if this is also in crypto(bitcoin) because the number of victims who fall into the trap of scammers are just too much. Ever since I joined this forum, this forum has enlighten me more about bitcoin investment and tips to secure bitcoin hodling. Last two weeks I read how a lady got scammed and how it happened she also said she took the investment advert about bitcoin on Facebook, that's why I don't like following people advertising crypto online they're all scammers. Secondly I personally as a newbie starting my bitcoin journey I don't give attention to Unkown contact trying to talk about bitcoin investment.

1034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 04, 2023, 08:40:57 PM
Arsenal looking like they would drop precious point this weekend because as it stands Newcastle is up by one goal against them, after Manchester city destroyed Bournemouth today Arsenal should have aimed at winning this game to keep the pursuit on. They premier league title race is best achieved by winning this sort of game.
Not a good start from Newcastle but after a while they began to add pressure on Arsenal, I would say the Newcastle lead is well deserved as so far they have been the best team in the game.

Newcastle won 1-0 against Arsenal and now have moved into 6th position and arent that much behind Manchester City now. While Arsenal without a point today might cost them later on in the league. This is really good news for Man City and Tottenham that Arsenal lost today. Was expecting a draw but Arsenal just couldnt get that goal.
Concerning this Arsenal match Newcastle didn't even play for real, I was also expecting a draw, I don't want to talk how Arsenal was totally robbed cause everyone is talking about that and that's just the truth. But let's think about today's match I wished Arteta bench Havertz and put Trossard,  I think Arsenal would have seen one goal. Why the hell will Arteta bench Trossard. I was discussing with my bro this evening and he said if Arsenal had a standard manager kai havertz  will not even play the list game. If am not mistaking when Trossard entered the game Arsenal had a lot of chances to win the game.
1035  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Educating Nigerians about Bitcoin on: November 03, 2023, 10:00:17 PM
As I started my bitcoin journey last month I observe say bitcoin knowledge is very backward in the country and bitcoin knowledge na wetin everybody go fit acquire in a simple way. According to wetin Satoshi Nakamoto talk bitcoin is for everyone and people who become part of the technology, and that's why I'm using p2p. I come dey wonder for naija way we so I no know for your area but for my area i no too dey hear bitcoin, the thing no dey popular for my area. Most people never hear the word bitcoin for their life self, so how we go do?
Last time I wrote about a topic will Nigerians marketers accept bitcoin if legalize. I saw different comments say them go accept, but to accept bitcoin no be the problem, them get the knowledge about bitcoin? Because wetin person no know big pass am by far. People need to get a solid knowledge about bitcoin first before using it and how to secure their coins/wallet if possible make them get guide wey go guide them through because if bitcoin dey legalize for naija scammers go dey invent new methods every day just like the way scammers dey for fiat.
In essence I wan talk say make we dey teach about bitcoin for our area because as bitcoin dey grow so countries go make bitcoin dey legalize as the world dey develop with different technology and Nigeria no go dey left behind, I believe say Nigeria go make bitcoin as their legal tender one day. So make we start to dey teach the knowledge about bitcoin so that the thing no go dey new for people ear.
  • students/children I have seen many threads on children education and I also want to contribute my view, one thing I observe about children them dey very sharp when it comes to learning especially learning about technology. I go like say make we start to dey teach the younger ones about cryptocurrency(bitcoin). Teaching them about the advantages and disadvantages about bitcoin, the risk involve and everything wey person suppose know about bitcoin. Some go say wetin concern small pikin and bitcoin, so as long as the pikin don know good or bad that pikin fit learn about bitcoin, so creating the awareness of bitcoin to our children is one of the best idea.
    Here are some threads about educating children about bitcoin:
     https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5438924.0
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432314.0
    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454984.160
  • business owners: I think if you're a business owner maybe you're into selling of goods, clothes or supermakert, is best if you accept bitcoin as your pay in return. By so doing you're creating the awareness of bitcoin to your customers for example a school principal accepting crypto (bitcoin) as a school fees payment, he also stated that he believe that one day digital money will gain more acceptance than paper money so he wants to be part of the technology now.https://cointelegraph.com/news/nigerian-secondary-school-will-accept-crypto-payments-despite-regulatory-uncertainty
Lastly bloggers, if you dey into blogging, make your site dey talk about cryptocurrency(bitcoin), cause everyone makes use of the internet everyday.
My brother Bitcoin no be wetin you go just wake up learn over night and understand they are still many things you need to learn ooo just last month now you don dey feel yourself say you don understand Bitcoin and the values behind am no be so still try check some topics about Bitcoin and some threads as you talk so Bitcoin no be everyone know am maybe your area no dey exposed thats why for my side even 15 year old know wetin them dey call Bitcoin and for today so wen e be say everything dey the internet I believe many people don hear am but them fit still never understand the potentials.
Why do you fail to understand my point dear, I'm not sure you understood what am trying to say. Besides creating bitcoin awearness no be me and you go do am as we be newbie so I see no point why you're commenting without understanding the post. Trying to teach me what to do, Everyday na person dey learn new things we make use of the internet for research and to acquire knowledge sha that one na true.
1036  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin fraudulent activities in Nigeria on: November 03, 2023, 09:37:00 PM
In recent years niger has been know for cryptocurrency fraud. Most scammers in Nigeria used social media like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp to decieve people into investing crypto with the promise of getting higher returns with little risk, while they will steal your money. This have lead to the scrutiny of crypto government have warn against investment in cryptocurrency. Many Nigerians today see cryptocurrencies have a way for them to over come the high inflation. This is a very important notice before investing crypto in Nigeria.
Firstly you mentioned Facebook, Instagram and other social platform like whatsapp, but at first why will a normal person take an investment advice from a social platform, why we hear issues like scam people fail to listen, avoid social platform when it comes to an investment matter and bitcoin is an investment people know with high profit in return. This thing dey for fiat too just because they want fast and quick money.
Secondly you mentioned because of the scam rate in crypto(bitcoin) government has urge people to stop investing in bitcoin, the naija government wey I know? Them no dey see you sef them no dey reason person matter. Any decision our government make about bitcoin is for their own benefit not ours. They don't want to loose control and they don't want their currency to loss value because if government make bitcoin there legal tender I give this country just two month people go adopt bitcoin
1037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: No advertisement for btc on: November 03, 2023, 08:16:16 PM
I was just reading this post and thought crossed in my mind that there has been no advertisement for Bitcoin. It's all growth has been natural, it's quite surprising if you think about it.
Bitcoin does not require any advertising because it has no organization or ownership of its own. But Bitcoin is a globally known coin. Bitcoin doesn't need a new introduction as countries around the world already know about its importance and necessity.
Advertisement was created to inform people or create awareness of what you want people to know, posting pictures on billboards is also a form of advertisement and have seen bitcoins and other crypto on billboards and it looks amazing. But when it comes to watching advert on TV have not seen bitcoin I only see news associated with bitcoin.

there will be a time when no job will be needed. This means that AI tools would take over the entire work of men making paid jobs become reductant.
Even if this is possible, even if robots wants to take over human services, of which it can never be possible why?
Not all companies can afford robots for service, even in this digital dispensation some people will not be part of the modern technology. Even if this is possible is there any need.
First let's be realistic can Robots take over humans services, robots are only programmed to carry some certain task not all task, secondly humans are always cooperative so when it comes to task that needs group of people to accomplish a particular aim how can robots fulfill those task.

I see no reason comparing an artificial made with humans, despite the digital world where every companies and organization wants to be part of all this new technology and robots saying robots service are the best, fast and accurate good no doubt but how sure we can trust these robots to carry out task

I think that if you graduated from a well-known university and graduated with honors and the course you completed was good, you are at an advantage to be accepted immediately by a company that you will apply to or maybe compete with other companies. Because that's the battle here in our country, then the sport of backing up the applicants is also the battle.

The fight is really unfair. Think about it: even if the degree you took is higher, if you don't have a backer who will help you within the company you will apply to, you will have no fight because the one with a backer will be prioritized, even if the one who will be admitted is
Graduating with a good grade and from a good course is of an advantage of securing a better job but with all these it is still not a guarantee of getting desired job, but I think all these depends on the country we found ourselves. Like in some countries Graduating with good grades is the easiest way of getting a job. But it is important for people not to take only their degree as the only option to get a job,  their should be an alternative like having a skill.
 
Getting a good grade is very important that anybody must fight for to secure a job because no one knows when opportunity will knock on the door.
