1041  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 26, 2023, 08:05:05 PM
We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?
IMHO. I'll give you an example of why this shouldn't be a discussion for most. If we're going to check if men are the ones who can't control themselves and have bad spending habits, we check the top 10 richest persons in the world because all of them are men.
I think it's not best bringing top 10 richest in the world here, besides behind every successful man there's a woman. So we should not go to that area, reasons may be attributed why woman are more economical than men but in some cases men are also economical than women it all  depends on what you trying to say
In nature women are met to be economical why?
They learn how to manage everything they have, when it comes to business, money, their home etc, secondly women avoid spending  lavishly

I no blame anybody wey dey find money, quick money or not money na money. Gone are those days, those days no dey like nowadays ohh, for example we no go fit compare price of those days food stuffs to nowadays. Why Nigeria economy and situation dey like this na only God know why,
For example subsidy was removed so that every state allocation will increase and the major reason why Tinubu removed subsidy he wanted the salaries of all civil servants, workers, salaries to be increased but rather state governors has refused to increase workers salaries, like my state allocation use to fluctuate sometimes 32bn or 33bn but nothing to show. Things like this are attributed to bad government and poor economy.
But the fact that young and old people take this hustle dirty and illegal is still wrong and needs to be prohibited, people making legal money aren't foolish, in essence we should still be hoping for a better Nigeria.

My country people I just come across this information, and many people they drag about this thing say American FBI and CIA dey threaten our president Amed Bola Tinubu, say if him no comot for seat, say dem go bring out things we go inplicate am or criminal related things. and now say our presido no gree.

So now I come dey ask say person wey don manover him way  to become president, ona think say wetting FBI or CIA bring go fit affect am? Make we yarn this matter.

Na the link be this===> https://l.kphx.net/s?d=139082903528885641&extra=Q1RSWT1ORyZMTkc9ZW4tVVM=&g=26c51c8cb84dc7669426ad8752352674 (From Phoenix APP)
Where you took this information from shows it's not from a reliable source, Phoenix browser they're always good at propaganda, secondly propaganda is one of the major source politicians use to fight there opponent so am not surprised. I will advice if you want to be giving informations like this go for a reliable source or maybe listen to news.
They never said they want him to resign as a president the issue here is the chicago state university shows the approval and acceptance to one of the certificate while the other document shows the dissaproval of certificate. And this case is in the supreme court so let's watch first.

One thing have observe about social media facebook, Instagram, they always keep to their community rules and standards. People talking about scammers and how they have invested there bitcoin on an unreliable platform. So I believe the ban of cryptocurrency on Instagram is as a result of Scammers misleading people,newbie precisely. But with or without Instagram, bitcoin still gain ground. Besides I see no reason why people discuss bitcoin on Instagram, Instagram is a place where celebrity and people showcase there lives and have fun.

I don't know what to say, but BTC is not free from imperfections, it still has many scalability issues, which have already discussed so many times here, I will just mention some old threads here for your understanding of those issues.

As the post says, it is the closest human work so far to one free of imperfections and relativity, second to Jesus. I'm aware of the known imperfections of Bitcoin. I've tried to address them from a different perspective in other posts.

According to what Lyn Alden said whenever there is a technological change, there is always opposition groups wondering if it's safe and technology in the long run always win, So it is just a matter of time. Am trying to understand the definition of bitcoin from your perspective, knowing the fact that bitcoin is not perfect because nothing is perfect but bitcoin is beneficiary to man kind and anyone who becomes part of this technology. I believe generations will understand what bitcoin is and become part of this technology.https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwTGO3ttY8c/?igshid=YWYwM2I1ZDdmOQ==

It all depends on the person you're gifting (wife) if she does not like it she will not have value for it. For me you did an excellent job by gifting your wife half of your bitcoin because bitcoin is precious and valuable to me but I don't know for someone else. Not everyone is willing to accept bitcoin as a gift due to the nature of bitcoin.
I sincerely love the faith of your wife cause she's willing to hold bitcoin as a source of investment not every wife can be supportive to such idea.

True to be told to everyone, for people to get married no me problem for Nigeria at all, governments no dey in a position to do those kind of things for people at all, even if say no be bad thing but that one no be the most important thing to do for citizens.
This nah the populations of people way dey this our country so and still things no dey in other and still the government want more populas for this country, nai make them go do mass marriage for couples.
Think am well, Nigeria no be the most populated country for the whole world but things no dey right then come imagine am say this we 9ja con be the most populated country, how e go be? With the small research them way j done do, I con take know say 9ja no reach half of the most populated country for the world and still the country way get the highest populations dey fear pass 9ja.

In the first place the government is not suppose to even do this, make we dey sincere with ourselves, abi to marry wife for people don turn government work?. Talking about the job, government no suppose find who he go employ. Sometimes when I reason the accusation people dey put for government head ehhn I dey shoke, for me I no see anything wey dey wrong for there o.

Secondly nobody dey force person to marry, government no dey force person to marry. If person no get job why the person wan rush into marriage. Almost everyone shouting no job no job, job full everywhere na them never see am. E good make everybody hold there side. Definetly after the marriage any person wey hustle well go fit feed he family. I no dey reason the job matter because them too get plans.
@Miles2006, please pardon my misconceptions, if only I am misunderstanding what you are saying so far, but I still believes that everyone has their own thoughts towards this issues, I go like to agree with you small but I still disagree with some of the things way you done talk.
Yes, and nah true say we no go just dey accused the government for waytin dem no do, but this marriage matter nah legit and I believe say you done also see or hear am for news, if you never open the content way I drop, try open am make you observed by your self.
Yes, government no force anybody to marry but first nah them bring up the matter to do the marriage for couples instead of to provide means on how them go take get employment, even of say nah 40k amount self nah something be that, now way the country hard, 40k self jo be better money but at least e fit go a bit long way for them, if only them plan am well.
The real matter be say, job first before marriage, watin them won use do wedding abi you want make them come marry you or any of your relatives on credit? No. So, me I still stand on my words, JOB BEFORE MARRIAGE.
I wan try to understand something from this your post, government force any of those people to do marriage? na wetin I wan understand, I will plead if you stop speaking for those people because you sef no know if them get job wey dey pay. I want make you try understand my point, make person no just jump into marriage just because government dey do marriage for people and then still expect government to feed or employ them. Secondly work full everywhere no be only government work dey sustain person, if people dey depend on government job many people for don die for hunger, for example you dey bitcointalk that one no concern government employment, in essence work full for naija wey no involve government employment. Thirldly that place na north area, and northerners no dey too depend on government employment, wetin dey common for that side na farming, na farming them dey use survive. I remember that flood season wey things dey expensive for my state why? Because no road for the Hausas to take supply food stuffs for us, and that particular season onion con cost. so I believe say na the northerners dey hold farming strong for niaja.
1048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: October 23, 2023, 09:17:06 PM
self-control is one of the things you always need to apply when you feel you are on the brink of any addiction. if you think, you can't contain yourself anymore, better stop and contemplate on your life. remember, no one will truly help you but your own self.
find other valuable activities that you think you can enjoy at. so your attention would go somewhere more worthwhile. you will thank yourself later on for not being consumed with such addiction.

Self control help to get away from the addiction for sure,either it’s gambling or drugs or drinking.The first think is you need to understand you was get into the addiction,the foremost part it understanding you are in addiction.Then you can easily get away from it,secondly you need to reduce the usage of the gambling.Then you need to fix the monthly deposit on the gambling by calculating your income.The deposit should not reach more then the 20 percent of your income.Then try to get some profit from the game,it will avoid from addiction.Gambling addiction mostly cause due to huge loss in gambling based on his luck.
Self control is not as easy as you said, I believe everyone can control his/herself. First of all no one wants to loose money to any platform, so if you're the type that you've never gain any profit from gambling and each time you tell yourself not to bet you find yourself doing it. Quick answer, just make a list , in that list write down the money you spend on gambling every month, write down the profit you're expecting and if you're not getting a profit trust me that person will stop betting. Most people saying am addicted to betting maybe because they've not loss a huge amount of money. Almost everyday I see people crying about betting and promising themself  not to gamble again. So trust me the moment that person loss a huge money to a betting platform that person will stop immediately. So for me I will say allow the person to bet and when the person loss a huge money that person will stop instantly, secondly I don't believe people saying am addicted to gambling. No amount of self control will stop someone from betting dear.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet on: October 23, 2023, 07:59:22 PM
Early hours of today,  one of the Nigeria billionaire business man E money shared his bet slip online for fans to see how much he splashed on the game between Chelsea vs Asernal which already on and Cheslea leading with 1:0, this brought me to the point of asking what your opinion on celebrities staking higher amount and still be ok to publicly show it and do not feel any thing even if the ticket cut just like what happened to Drake last few weeks back.


What is you view and analysis on this bet,  although I see that he be confident in his selections to have staked such an amount,  but since football is a game of unpredictability,  what then ks your views on this game even though the match is currently live.
We all have different opinions on games and he have clearly showed us his own view of the game but what I don’t understand is why he would take such risk and stake on Arsenal to win despite watching how terrible Arsenal was in the first half, their entire midfield bullied and overshadowed by South American combo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo who also got help from Conor Gallagher. Chelsea’s midfield was rock solid throughout the game which was why it was difficult for Arsenal to penetrate them and their most creative midfielder Odegaard was lost throughout the game. Merely seeing Arsenal’s performance in the first should have made him know he was making a wrong decision and winning Chelsea at stamford bridge will be a difficult task.

In my opinion Arsenal was even lucky to have draw the game and had it been Chelsea converted their chances it would’ve been a different story.
That's betting for him, he had his own choice to make so I don't see anything wrong here. Talking about the betting, only Chelsea fan will bet the winning for Chelsea. Trust me despite the oppression and everything Arsenal still came out strong and best with a draw, so I think Chelsea are the lucky ones here because Arsenal didn't bring out there best. I see Chelsea fan talking dirty about this match and I will laugh, bro a draw at home very bad, I expected more better from them. from my observation Arsenal would have score another goal but due to the time duration that's why they could not score
1050  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The rate of divorce in the society on: October 23, 2023, 07:15:13 PM
I think what most people fail to understand about marriage is marriage is a Union and not a contract. Most people fail to understand themselves individually before getting married, I think the fall of marriages is people fail to know themselves first like the example you made a man divorce his wife after seeing her without makeup that shows that there is no love for each other, all what the man wants is a beautiful face and not a wife. People now rush into marriage forgetting that marriage is forever and needs time first.
For example in my country women rush into marriage because they are not financially stable so they need someone to take care of them and that's a wrong impression, before getting married both parties need to be independent financially. Secondly most people lack the process to take before getting married. Let me talk about one, courtship; this is the dating period where two individuals get to know about themselves better. Thirdly most marriages lack a healthy communication, I feel communication in every marriage is important and any marriage that lacks communication will not last

Practice makes perfect, everything in life needs practice, the fact is having a full knowledge about bitcoin without putting it to pratice shows you're not perfect, in fact everything concerning bitcoin needs practice, trading, mining, selling, etc needs practice. Having an experience be it bad or good makes you stronger the more. Most traders you're talking about they have also seen the bad side of it and still the good side of trading. In essence putting to practice what you've learnt is the best

1053  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wrong mentality of scammers on: October 23, 2023, 12:25:21 PM
For real, instead of this scammers going around look for who to scam why not get a good job that pays daily or monthly for themselves. Job full everywhere na lazy person go prefer to sitdown one place dey scam people.
Everyone should be careful oh, now wey everybody dey hustle for their December funds. Everyday na new things dey come scammers ready to scam oh.
And now the new method is they have converted that scamming method to begging, now that Mark has bought whatsapp and whatsapp is no longer private, the reason I brought this whatsapp matter here is that scammers are hacking through peoples whatsapp now using QR scan code or link device and they will start begging for money using your whatsapp, most people have fallen victim to this and it is not funny. Why will a normal human being with his right senses decide to hack peoples whatsapp and be begging for money. Make we dey careful make we no go fall into the hands of scammers
1054  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Raising children in this current society on: October 22, 2023, 04:44:06 PM
Parenting a child now in this modern world seems to be very difficult, sometimes parents don't have time for there kids. The major thing a child needs is just love and care. And every parents is expected to love his/her child. Not the common love we see or hear because no parent will love his kids and send the child far away for studies at that little age. And sometimes what the parent don't get to teach the child the child learnt it from school or friends. If a child will be useful and be of good value to the society the parents must play a huge role in the life of the child. For example let's look at the story of Ben Calson, he wrote a book "think big" one of my favorite, Ben Calson was the dullest student in his class but he said his mom played an important role in his life, she will always force him and scold him to read his books, his mom made reading habit to be part of him, that's what I call a good parenting, so if Ben mom did'nt scold him he would not be where he is today.

Children these day lack to exhibit a reading habit all there attention is on social media, little kids these day I see dancing on tiktok I get amaze. Since the world is now a digital world but somethings should be regulated for our kids.
1055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin for everyone? on: October 22, 2023, 01:16:44 PM
Bitcoin is for everyone bro, the fact that each time you hold your coins and you find yourself spending it on random problems shows you're not good at savings. Bitcoin is for everyone so long as you have the knowledge and become part of it but bitcoin investment is not for everyone. I will always say if investing in bitcoin you must be patient because bitcoin investment is not just some random investment you put your money to and the next thing you make your profit "NO" that's a impression.
My dear bitcoin is for everyone, you're not just best at holding your coin.
1056  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Let's be sincere on: October 22, 2023, 12:38:07 PM
One thing I go talk be say nobody fit control crowd, everybody go do wetin them like, everybody go do wetin dey he mind. despite the shouting and harsh words people still dey do wetin them like. To be honest anytime I see the shouting and harassment I go first laugh. Right now wetin I dey find na correction, I need person wey go fit correct me always because without correction nobody fit grow.
The higher rank members wey you dey talk them sef don receive shout countless times for this forum. One thing I observe about life anyhow you big reach people dey wey go still bring you down or shout for you.
Sincerely speaking me as a newbie no be everything I know about bitcoin so I dey here to learn about bitcoin. So sometimes if I see topic wey dey talk about the society or economy I go know wetin to comment for sure because am conversant with that area.
1057  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: High cost of commodities on: October 22, 2023, 12:15:21 PM
Lol, why Nigerians no go survive,ever since Nigerians has been surviving so this is not a new thing. Ever since this year started the marketing sector just dey upside down. But come to think of it, price of goods will not just increase there's something wrong with Nigeria economy.
Firstly if government can make a conducive space for our marketers I think price of things will subside. I came across a video on arise news where some market women where  seeking assist from the government, calling the government to creat a condusive environment where they can grow and get loan.
I sure say everybody dey stay for naija, you fit testify say everyday price of goods dey increase, why?
Transportation: transportation na the major problem wey our marketers dey face even we as individual. As transportation don dey expensive like this marketers go need to increase price of goods to stand their business.
Demand and scarcity: the population rate for naija don pass be careful, this thing wey you talk no dey for only Christmas season e dey for Easter season too. I don observe say every festive season price of goods dey increase because na the season wey celebration dey, every family wan celebrate. Let's take rice for example, half of naija population go cook rice on Christmas day and marketers dey very trickish sometimes wetin you wan buy that season no dey rampad na only one person dey sell am due to high demand, na so the only person wey get that product go add price 5× for that product. I don observe na festive season all this things dey happen
1058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 21, 2023, 09:34:38 PM
I am quite happy with this result, because I saw a Chelsea game that could answer the doubts pinned on them. We must know before this match takes place, not many make them as favorites, and even some are very confident saying Arsenal will win. But all that can be answered, especially after they can lead 2 goals in the first half. Entering the second half, Arsenal began to realize that this was not the Chelsea they had seen, and were lucky enough when they could equalize to make the match end with a draw.
You're happy because you're probably a Chelsea fan.  Grin  Arsenal fans feel unhappy, they must expect Arsenal to win the match and get 3 points. It is actually very important, Arsenal needs full points to maintain their position. Now, missing 3 points in the match against Chelsea, Man City overtakes Arsenal position. If Tottenham wins the match against Fullham, they will lead the EPL standings. Man City will be in the 2nd place, meanwhile Arsenal will be in the 3rd place.

Regarding the match, Arsenal may be a bit surprised with Chelsea performance. Chelsea could lead with 2 goals, they played more aggressively than their usual game. It's true that Arsenal was a bit lucky that they could equalize with 2 goals in the second half. I think Arsenal a bit late to play offensively, they were not really confident in the first half.
I expected one more goal from Arsenal, I lost all hope but Arsenal got me wondering and surprised, I think Chelsea are the lucky ones here. They should be thanking there stars because I could'nt believe Chelsea will pressurize Arsenal today. I actually blamed Arteta for today match. I believe Trossad will be of use to the game right from first half. I kept on asking where is Trossard why did he not add Trossard since and luckly he made changes that lead to the draw.
And I think what Chelsea did today they should keep it up, I love the pressure and the defence but as an Arsenal fan I got worried to some extend
1059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and it effects on: October 21, 2023, 09:11:59 PM
Gambling as an act can never be a source of income, one thing I observe about people playing gamble in my area, they don't have a job and all there focus is on playing bet, bro that's a wrong impression very wrong one. In as much as gambling is not for the weak, gambling is not also for the poor. The most funny part about gamble, people are abusing it and they're giving the wrong impression. Why will a young boy or man with no good job play gamble and expect gambling to give him wealth.
I know most people saying gambling is not for the weak and if you're not strong don't bet, that's a lie. When investing your money on something you're expecting a profit but rather no profit, trust me it pains a lot truth be told it pains a lot, in summary gambling is not for the poor.
1060  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 21, 2023, 08:54:26 PM
Gambling can come in different ways, children always have this mindset of wining in an argument with there friends or playmate, everyone does that. But in a situation where money is involve and the child continues insisting to bet for money trust me that child will grow up with a betting mindset, and if care is not taking that child continues to exhibit the habit of betting. Sometimes the environment where children find themselves matter alot. Have you not heard of the saying charity begins at home, so any child that grows up with a betting habit learnt it from home and it is not called heredity, I will call it lack of discipline.
At the other hand parents are to be blamed for their child betting habit ? Parents play a huge role in the life of there child, the society will not be hold responsible for a child betting habit, I will not blame any site that allows little children to gamble because they're also looking for money and we should not expect them to stop looking for money.
