1041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have any one had experiences with banned bank/providers because of gambling? on: December 19, 2023, 01:07:32 PM
No experience yet and I won't have to use a local bank account to transact onward to gambling account, it should already look cumbersome as it is involving third party. I would rather use crypto and directly sent to a gambling account from wallet.

However, the simplest reason may be that the account has been flagged for either illegal financial transaction only for you guys to provide that otherwise. The reason that an account will be banned is if you have to go against the ToS and mostly an account suspected for fraud. So you have to prove your innocence on that, hopefully your brother is the only one making use of the account because sometimes when transactions are being done by intermediaries, they can be reported.

Like them say, time na money and there is need to use it well. This buttress the point of being resourceful to yourself and stop lottery around, put your hand on something and pray to God he will bless that thing beyond your expectation.

As job no dey some people still dey expect say manna go dey fall from heaven for them but that na day dreaming.

Person wey want help himself no need to wait for government, it doesn't matter how old or how long you don dey suffer, you can still get up and be useful despite the hardship instead of just wasting time to dey waka for street.
1043  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The so called fuel subsidy removal. on: December 19, 2023, 10:31:54 AM
Your post really make me laugh and nostalgic. First I can relate to your church gen going off during service, that one don dey be normal occurrence especially for smaller churches wey go want manage because dem no go fit burn 5k fuel for service.

But why dem go give a whole community two bags of rice for fuel subsidy palliative to cushion which side of effect really  Huh And you want blame una chief for safeguarding one for himself and family  Grin Abi you think say una chief dey happy as the palliative no reach anywhere.

No doubt worst times are still ahead and na survival of the fittest. Government no dey always send the masses and that is why they won't send cash palliative through bank account via BVN because they are not sincere in all their dealings which is Nigerian politics for you.

Instead wey government go do better thing for the generality of the people, dem go carry tax come to collect the one wey dey your hand. Subsidy removal itself na scam because you can't remove subsidy and you still dey refine crude oil for outside the country. Dem no want build refinery because dem get refinery outside wey dey give dem personal rebate.
1044  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Patience is not enough for hodling Bitcoin on: December 19, 2023, 08:37:01 AM
Wetin I know be say person wey no get money no dey save money or person wey never see money chop go begin say dem want save money. So the reality about bitcoin investment be say if you want to hodl am for long, omo you gat to commot eyes for the money wey you don carry invest on am so that e go fit grow over time.

This one mean say you need to get source(s) of income. But usually if you want put fiat for fixed deposit, you no dey touch am until it will mature which means you go still need to get wetin you dey survive with, so na so to invest in btc be too.

You no need to temper with your investment in btc when the time never reach because that time wey you go touch am thinking say you go buy again if em come down, e fit just no come down again. So e better to make up your mind when you want exit your hodling. For now, hodl until bull run begin next year.
1045  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Scam alert,,,,, Confirm before doing anything. on: December 19, 2023, 07:43:44 AM
Scam dey com in different form but na make we just dey vigilant to calculate within ourselves if the story wey dem dey tell us fit be true or not. For the story wey Op share, the way wey him take handle am make sense as him go ring him uncle first to confirm him mama first before tackling the scammers but some people go don still first send half of the money or even the full 90k before trying to call and scammers go always put pressure for your body so that you go do quick send the money, and once you send am e don go be dat. So we need to dey vigilant in the way we dey handle our matter online or through calls especially how e relate money matter.

lawyers can use her mental health to get her a good deal
coz living with (- he husband disappereance and geting acused to murder him not knowing if is actually dead or not - Finding out he was cheating on her and living with an other woman ) can really get ur mental health down

I think I understand a little bit of the angle that you are going to, probably that she was mentally derailed at the time she shot the husband but to that effect, they will examine her on her mental health before the shooting, at the time of shooting and would put her on close examination to assertain if she is okay or not and most likely they would find out she is fine.

But I think that the lawyers would just plead that she has been jailed for the same offense and she has served it out. I don't think it be out of reason to plead that.
1047  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The media is greatly influenced by big business. How do we know? on: December 18, 2023, 06:36:03 PM
I think the media has contributed more negatively than they have done positively at least for the recent past. They have allowed politics to penetrate the cruz of their publication, although politicians are the biggest news in the media even more than business and this is the problem, money buying the media space.

There is now a dangerous part to this influence and that is that politicians now see media outlet as business that they should venture into to push their image more. I wonder if a politician owns a media outfit then the editor would dare publish negative news about their director or owner who is a politician. In fact such media outfit that is own by a politician becomes an added opposition political party, they would hardly publish a good news on their opponents even if they have done well.

So it is now a business of witchunt for another politicians. This has taken away the taste of objectivity away from the salt in the media space. News are not really worth it because of the biase in there, more politicians have radio stations and television houses more than business people.
1048  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Give respect to your teachers and parents on: December 18, 2023, 05:33:51 PM
Teacher's are very instrumental to the formation of children and lately they have be given loads of responsibility with the rate of parents not staying at home especially the mother.

Femism and the gender interplay has really caused some changes since women dominant role of taking care of the home front and catering for the children now leave the house to work in search of money to add to what the man earns. With this the children are left with teachers for a greater part of their lives.

Teachers are very important in the society and October 5th have been set outside globally to celebrate them for their good jobs.

However, some teachers have been alleged or found to be bad influence to the children, so government need to really do a proper recruiting process before allowing somebody the responsibility of being a teacher.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 18, 2023, 04:31:26 PM
I feel curious about being addicted to gambling, then people who play more and more actively even though they keep losing, I was once caught in a circle like this, spending half my savings just to recover my losses, but it was stopped after I realized, currently I only play 1% of my total income and I enjoy it whether I lose or win

The peace of mind in gambling is when you have played with the amount that won't matter to you if you lose it and then you will see the fun in it. Most people who gamble for fun enjoy it because they have used a lower stake to try their luck like you said you use 1% of your income to gamble but if you try playing with high stake then you will be tempted to chase back your losses when you don't win.  We don't need too much rush for profit because that is the trap we get hooked on, when you play with the amount you can afford to lose, you are sure whatever happens you can wake away easily.
1050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does match fixing concern you often? on: December 18, 2023, 01:44:09 PM

Regardless what the result is, I won't say it's a match fixing since I believe something bad could happen and there's always a possibility luck not always on favorite team/player.

I have heard speculations of match fixing though but how true it is still left to be proven. This is why it is good to bet with big leagues and serious ones where such occurrence to happen will be limited. However, for local leagues or community cups, such is possible to happen because the officiating is not standard and therefore there could be some sort of corruption and fixing that will go on for the highest bidder, such could be the case for smaller leagues that is not under the watch of global media.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... on: December 18, 2023, 11:10:40 AM

They can accept and not dwelling with their losses, instead they will try to re-assess and see if what adjsutment they needed to make their strategy works well for them, an expereineced gamblers most of the time knew that if they will push for more while in the losing streak they will just continue messing with their bankroll.

It's better to call for the day and forget about it, there's always a new day and a new session that they can try it again and who knows if luck will permit they can recover it little by little.

You have well mentioned the difference between gamblers who have more winning than those on losing streak. To have a win you have to be a master of your emotions and understand that winning is real and losing is real so that when you are losing you don't have to think it is all wrong to lose and you start chasing back the loses. To chase loses is the reason for major failure in gambling but if you have that mindset of losing, you are sure to take it in good faith and look up to new opportunities.
1052  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Keeping our identity hidden on: December 17, 2023, 07:51:29 PM

We should be very careful on how we go about publicizing ourselves in this forum. I urge us all to limit from exposing ourselves or our country in this forum, everything should be done on code in other to sustain our reputation and the reputation of our dear country. My humble opinion though, if anyone has any contrary view or support please the response session is Open.

Op see your idea of anonymity dey understandable oo but to an extent person no fit jus keep him identity away like that. Even when we never get our local board self, people still know where we dey come from just as we self dey know how e dey be for others, so no reason am like that. All the same men go still dey do things by anonymous way too no lele, nothing don spoil for that level.
1053  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Investment be like farm work on: December 17, 2023, 05:04:13 PM
Like you don take planting and the observation and patience wey dey inside take give example, na so wey e also be for investment both real life and online including crypto. Some people don actually invest in altcoins and some shit coins and dem lose either because dem no research well and now if you dey talk about btc investment dem go dey look at the money wey dem don lose for altcoins forgetting say dem no invest rightly just like you been plant your okra wey no grow well the first time and you go observe am and arrange am well wey make you dey get result now as dem don begin grow.

So to plant rightly na also be to invest rightly. Make we invest in bitcoin this season and the halving for next year go cause better rise in price, enough cash out if we plant or invest rightly.
1054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? on: December 17, 2023, 04:50:17 PM

It's true that the influence from the culture or nature where you are living do have that weight when we talk about development of child interest, especially if the parent itself have that affiliation with gambling.

The culture or nature is the two influence for children as you rightly have said. In the case of nature, I think that can be explained with what happens around the house where the children are raised. If the father have some obnoxious character, he is suppose not to be displaying them in the front of his children because they would naturally imbibe into it. And also if there is bad teaching or learning process in the neighborhood, social gathering or school which are also agents of socialization the children are most likely going to exhibit it. Therefore, there is need to take children away from certain illicit behaviour so that they can grow like children and not to learn character above their age because they are not yet equipped mentally to handle such habit like child gambling.
1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 17, 2023, 04:31:31 PM
We are all humans but we are all different, what could spike an addiction in me can be a total turn off for you, in the world of gambling anything is possible, anyone can become an addict in any possible way, some starts their addiction after the lose their money, and that's loss chasing.

The majority of gamblers get addicted when they win in their first game, this is the most popular way for anyone to become a gambling addict, someone who have no past gambling experience will probably lose his mind if he wins some few rounds when starting out in gambling.

Both loss chasing and first win are too common as the ways that gamblers get addicted to gambling, instead of accepting that you are throwing money away and make it harder for the house to win over you, people instead choose to run after how much they can make.

Yes you are right in both but I think first time win is most crucial and trap for winner and most people who gamble laugh at first time winners that they would start losing afterwards. They see it as a welcome bonus given to those winners as they just tasted gambling. Most times this allusion seem to be the case because surprisely the winners may not have any more winning after several attempts.

Therefore, I consider first time winners as those that get hooked up in addition because they want to taste such winning again and unfortunately they may not be able but they keep trying instead of them to come to the reality that they just got lucky to win, thus they could reduce their playing times and bankroll to gradually stop but addiction doesn't allow someone to think properly  Grin
1056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 06:57:00 AM
I already know that gambling is a luck base stuff and anything based on luck is not in your control, so I play with care when I play and I'm not always playing so I don't have a problem with it. It is difficult to stop gambling addiction and it is worse when you are having it as the source of income then you will find it difficult to quit.

For someone to quit gambling by themselves, it means they are not so much involved in it and so they can still control themselves. This is the reason to gamble with what money you can afford to lose and not to heavily involve yourself with the hope that it will favour you at the end. We know numbers of posts here on people who have taken away their lives because they lost hugely and probably money that they borrowed. But if you are gambling responsibly, you won't have gambling problems and to stop will be easy for you to only discourage yourself that you have not been winning is enough.
1057  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Preparedness is better than prediction on: December 16, 2023, 05:36:05 PM

1059  Economy / Economics / Re: Learn to use DEBT in a proper way to create asset on: December 16, 2023, 02:51:41 PM
In the topic I covered today, let's talk together about the idea of debt, why it is bad for the majority, and why it is used as a tool for the advancement of the few. If we observe people in debt, it's like your friend who borrows a cellphone, your neighbor who owes a motorcycle and vehicle, and the person you know who borrows to build their house. We can notice and see that most of them are not happy. Because instead of enjoying the money owed, it becomes a burden because it is automatically deducted from their wages at work. And this is often the reality of a person's life in debt.


So which is better? To borrow and buy a cellphone, motorcycle or to use it to build a house. Obviously taking a loan should be properly be invested so that you can get that interest accrued to the loan from the investment even before majority. Therefore, to build a house with debt or borrowed money is far better and above the listed. If you build a house, you are sure to recoup your investment within a stipulated time frame as you can thereafter mortgage it or lease some apartment from time to time.

Bearing a debt can be seen as something bad if you use the money for recurrent expenditure and not capital projects. For example most wealthy men live on debt but they invest it so that it keeps generating additional income, they take loan from banks and invest it and also service the interest from the investment.

Loan is the reason that the rich keeps getting richer. The rich knows how to invest with loan and they service the interest from profit in their invested business.
1060  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can anyone be a Bitcoin speculation expert? on: December 16, 2023, 02:30:18 PM

Anyone can be a bitcoin speculation expert as we have all the freedom to speculate based on what we know. But trying to deceive someone and make believe that all your predictions are right, then that would be not helpful anymore.

Of course prediction that work is that which has been tasted and trusted through time. If you prediction price for next week and it doesn't happen that way then it means such person's prediction is not to be taken as what can be followed. I know that predictions are not always right but averagely for someone who carry himself as a better predictor should get some very good number of prediction right.

However for me, I don't follow predictions blindly. You have to have an idea of the market sentiment, do your analysis and the compare other predictions to get more valid view of the market price.
