1061  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Ghana preparing to supply Nigeria electricity. on: October 05, 2023, 10:36:06 PM
A friend of mine went to Ghana and narrated how electricity is constant there. I have a friend that went to Tanzania and he narrated constant electricity where he stayed for over two weeks. I have a friend that went to Benin Republic that Nigeria is supplying light, they have better electricity supply and the city is known for its neatness. Countries that are less developed than us are having good electricity.

The two African countries you mentioned has been enjoying steady electricity supply for more than ten years now though Ghana may have steady supply of electricity but the chargers are too much when compared to other African countries and the saying that Nigeria has been supplying light to Benin Republic is still not clear to me because few years ago Benin Republic celebrated a good number of years of uninterrupted power supply while my country Nigeria has not experienced a 24hours of uninterrupted power supply for once. I think the information about Nigeria supplying light to Benin Republic is false because we can't be in total darkness while we are generating steady power supply to someone else that's total insane.

I am very much aware that Nigeria supplies Niger Republic electricity but that aspect of celebration is what I do not really know about but I know that of Ghana to have celebrated one week uninterrupted power supply. It is obvious that we supply to other countries and still yet we experience epileptic power supply.  We as a nation have not satisfied our own needs in terms of electricity  power supply and our the mega  stations are yet to be upgraded but the government claims to be releasing funds for that purpose and things are still the same way they are every year. No improvement, no growth, no development. All they  know is to give estimated bill, climb ladder and cut wire.

This matter really tire person because when them send me that kind messages to my number, them come call my line say make I send them my bank details say them dey detect issues from my bank. At first then call my name come asked whether na me be so so and so person, I come say yes then say they have been trying my number say e no dey reachable make whether I fit get chance call my card details for them say emergency dey for my bank account. Before I know them say go inside pick your atm card make we secure your account say them detect say scammer dey try withdraw money from my account say them block am but I go need to change my ATM pin immediately to avoid further damage say make i call the previous pin so that them go generate new pin for me to secure my card.

My people this story became more interesting because me self don already get the code say na scammer dey do but on the hand I wan waste their airtime to dey keep them on work, so them say are ready to call your card details and I say yes.. Na so them say oya start, I called many random numbers unstoppably till them say repeat, I still repeat another separate random numbers my people the matta became more interested them tell me saying give us the pin, I call another for random number and them say repeat I still a separate numbers till there airtime exhausted na so I say thunder fire them there.

See the thing is, we need to be smart to outsmart those scammer, infact e get one self wey send me card one time like that wey them call me, I tell am say the room where my card dey inside my people sister pikin lock am comot say I need airtime to call her to bring key so that I go send them my card details, na so de scam say how much card I need. I as good woman I tell am any amount them send is good for me, na so them send me 500 Naira card to buy my heart so that I fit happy send them my card details but immediately them send me card na so my zoom of my line go sleep first 🤣.

Those guys dem no get joy at all. Every body dey vex for this country as things don be like this wey make men don begin run things street way.  Na to open eye for them if them come your way collect them go your way like nothing happen. Dem no go think to near you again for their life because dem don learn lesson say no be everybody dem go just wake up in the morning begin call like that. E good as you teach them lesson.
1063  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Ghana preparing to supply Nigeria electricity. on: October 05, 2023, 08:32:02 PM
This has made me to have  a thought over this and I was wondering what is really the cause of our electricity gridlock and  epileptic power supply here in Nigeria. Finance I think is not the cause of our power shortage here in Nigeria as our government allocates huge fund to the power sector, Policies are made to help sustain power supply and also payment of electricity tariff which is not favorable to consumers as they complain lack of power supply and hence some do not bother complying with payment and if they do pay, they make part payment.

As my brother talk for up so, na corruption be the cause of everything and for we to get things straight na for the government to just privatized everything for the power sector for the country. The partial privatization wey dem do no dey work, make dem private the full sector and watch how things go better. I hope you know say e get some part of the country wey no dey lack light, we get places wey dey use federal light and their light dey dey like 24/7. Wetin this one mean be say the power dey but na distribution be the problem and that's because the power sector go dey lose if dem distribute the power to everybody. Na only those wey dem dey guarantee say dem go play na people wey dem dey give power and this people dey normally dey for areas wey dey use federal light like dem GRA, and prepaid meter areas dem.

Big man na this one be the another major wahala wey we dey face for Nigeria. The matter of corruption Na wetin hold Nigeria to this stage. The idea of privatisation dey okay but Na still dem go buy the power holding company. Even when dem pass back go buy dem no go fit still manage am.

As for the areas wey dey receive light I wonder the segregation, wey make the light no dey go round. only a particular location dey receive light 24/7 pass others and some too Na based on their demand for turbine as an oil rich city wey make dem give dem.   why odas just remain for power outage like that nobody fit talk when month end dem cough out NEPA bill go pay over estimated bill wey dem no consume.

 Nigeria corruption Na don't tell anybody.

OP from your comment I was wondering if truly you know what you are talking about because you would not be asking such question and trying to find out if there is any comparison with bitcoin out there. To make the point clear mate there is no other coin competing or compared with bitcoin as far as blockchain is concerned. Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency that was founded by satoshi nakamoto for that reasons it was termed the Genesis block 

As a matter of fact, you are never late to adopt bitcoin. Bitcoin is still at its early adopter stage and as such holds more potentials and price value in time to come.

You can read about the Genesis block here

This is very interesting. OP seems to forget where he or she is. Coming up with this service offer must be prepared to face scrutiny but as it stands now from all I have read here I have not really seen anything convincing for me to flow with OP. Merely looking at OP account, it is not encouraging. OP has no one to vouch for their services. Not a link to past jobs done to clear doubts on their professional engagements and this makes me more curious about the organisation.

I read where OP said he is just an employee there if he being an employee of the company that makes him part of the team and from the looks he or she should be their representative here helping to market their services.

Well, i'm a member of the company and i have the company to vouch for our services. I'm not a blockchain/bitcoin expert. My job is to offer the service and resolve initial doubts, the rest will be done over time when you see that it is no joke. This profile was created only with this purpose.
You can not be a judge in your own case neither can you bake your cake and have it at the same time OP. Maybe and external customers can vouch for your services if truly you have done jobs of this nature or possibly other job engagements you have done before maybe since this is a new job description from your organisation, others services your company have rendered could speak for itself. So why not those customers say something about them. I think you should not get things too complicated , just agree to the fact that you are their marketing manager because I see that is what you are doing here which have been said already by a member.

I have made it clear that I am here to offer this service and resolve reasonable questions. If you are not convinced by the service or want to wait for testimonials, just wait or hire us with a test wallet. I am not going to get into discussions that lead nowhere, everyone has their opinion and it is respectable, we speak with facts. Hire us and see for yourself

How do I hire you when you have no proven fact at hand to back up your claims. You can not claim to be doing this when you have no track records to present as evidence of previous works done. Do you think members here would be comfortable to do such business with you?

If wahala come up wey go need extra combat force more than the army to support join body, na NYSC them dey fall back to so as to fill up the gap. Naim make you dey see say NYSC dey do army drills for orientation camp because them believe say na transformation process be that wey involve conversion from civilian to military.

As for the matter wey involve kidnap of Corp Members, the security agencies should work with the local community heads and other community members  to rescue the kidnapped corp members because they are the only ones that knows the nook and crannies of their communities and the people committing such act. They know the ins and outs of their communities to assist the security agencies get to the bottom of this matter.
1067  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Calm the pressure on: October 05, 2023, 02:42:27 PM
It is never advisable to borrow money to invest or start up a business. You can borrow in the course of running the business when you have seen the four walls of the business and how it works with prior experience and knowledge gained so that when appropriating funds, you know how to apply it to the business in other not to be at the losing end of it all. Same is applicable to crypto or bitcoin trading but you should have at the back of your mind that it is a high volatile asset and at such could be very risky to take such decision.

Putting yourself under pressure with anything that has to do with bitcoin and trading is nothing but a very big error because you just might put yourself in a much tight stand if the volatile nature of the market comes into full force and you are caught off guard, do you not think that is a problem for you? Not to talk of when the asset in question is borrowed with the sole intention of profit making or revenue generation.

So far  my working with him have shaped my composition here on this platform. I have learnt a lot through his management styles.

I’d like to know what motivates you to invest in a speculative asset like Bitcoin?

Bitcoin has been existing over a decade now and has stand the test of time making it an assets worth the investment. It  started from the list price to this particular price it is trading at and so far, has been used as a store of value by many individuals and companies all over the world. It is a commodity and an exchange of value which on can use to make payment for services rendered.

What is the driving force that encourages your continuity in the Bitcointalk forum?

OP I must say this that only a scholar who knows the value of education would remain in the educative platform they have far fetched knowledge from. This platform have been so educative that the education continues with lots of new ideas and information to benefit as many that are willing to learn from it.


who do you listen to in the forum and study to keep your conviction solid?
There are lots of seasoned fellows here who have the wealth of experience and have created  impart on this platform. In their various field they have contributed immensely to the growth and development which have been speaking on their behalf even at their absence, their  contribution still speaks of great volume. Hal Finney was a major player here before his demise and so far his impart has been of good help to the platform as a whole.

take notice on this scammer



OP this is not proof enough to accuse a manager of scam. Do you think building a reputation over the years is a joke for a good manager to just wake up one day and scam bounty hunters? If he had an escrow for this project payment that would have been a different case but it seems that was not the agreement and the project team are responsible for the distribution so in that case you will need to wait till December as they have said according the link you have provided up there. Then if they fail to honor their words then it is left for them.

Congratulations on your win. It is a thing worth sharing and experience worth the time. Sometimes little things we look or see as mistakes turns out to be at advantage in our favour.

 I remembered back then my school days during the champions league final between AC Milan and Liverpool. We had a little talk about the outcome which I had no much knowledge about then so I joined in betting and I did bet for AC Milan. we had already given out the money to a fellow to hold when a friend discouraged me so I went back and it almost resulted to fight because I wanted my money back or I changed it for Liverpool but they refused so I let it be. Fortunately for me the bet ended in my favour and it happens that I and one other person placed bet for AC Milan so we both split the money into two and it was a reasonable amount of money running into some thousands.
That was my first bet experience back then and it was a joyous moment for me because I won it and the money was used for important purpose to fulfill a task which was in need of money.

1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: October 05, 2023, 10:53:51 AM

If a gambler has no willpower to cope with his obsessive desires to beat the casino, then he will not be able to change his point of view on the account of gambling without experts and so will hover in dreams of big winnings. It is difficult to change something in life without understanding the root of the problem. And after all, the gambling addict has exactly the same lack of understanding of the problem, so he is satisfied with everything.
You are correct mate. Identifying the root of a problem would definitely help one render solutions to the problem. If the willpower is there to curtail excesses, so be it but if not, the person would still be wallowing in their addiction. Same is applicable to all walks of life. As a gambler one should see gambling as fun and as such should gamble responsibly. Casinos are business ventures and would definitely host games for fun lovers to play and entertain themselves with little tokens paid to satisfy their pleasure with the hope of winning in return. As game is concerned, there must be a winner and there must be a loser but however the case maybe, one should be able to accept the out come with fate and move on.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 05, 2023, 10:40:29 AM
In that case they decide to go beyond their budget limit just to chase their losses with mindset of winning and when doing that, they keep losing more and more and this however results to addiction and it continues that way again and again.
Responsible gamblers don't do that, it's a practice done by amateurs who don't understand how things actually work and they don't have any idea about gambling in the first place, all they have ever thought was that they can earn a lot of money from gambling and it's as easy as drinking water which is not true and when they face the reality, they just can't accept it.
A responsible gambler can take care of himself and will not exceed his budget limits. And even though they have experienced defeat, they will not try to catch up because they want to recover their lost money. They realize it is difficult to do so they may prefer to stop gambling rather than risk an even bigger loss. It won't be worth what they will get later, especially since this is gambling where they might not get a bigger chance of winning. So it's better for them to gamble casually and try to enjoy it.
Of course, responsible gamblers don't really pursue the ambition to win at gambling, they use gambling only for entertainment, and yes, responsible gamblers can always set their limits when gambling so that they don't experience too many losses.


It is difficult for someone who is addicted to gambling to do this because they always try to win at gambling even if the result is nil they will continue to try until their balance runs out. This is very detrimental to oneself because they cannot create boundaries and cannot control themselves If the person doing this is already have a family it is very possible that it will have a negative impact on their financial condition.

Maybe there are gamblers doesn't really care about winning since they are playing because they want to have fun but if you really follow them do you think you can really say you enjoy if you lose your money? I guess that happiness will not exist especially if we are low ballers and we would provably feel the pain of losing our money in quick instances. Maybe other just manage their finances while gambling can really enjoy the game but for other its hard to feel that since they are looking to win. Maybe to practice safe bets or control each unwanted scenario best for each of us to know when to quit since this is only solution for us not to get hurt much when losing and totally be happy when we win.
There's no fun on losing money
There's no fun on depleting your account balance
There's no fun on on experiencing consecutive losses

Gambling should really be for fun but people do really go into certain extent on which it isnt a must thing to be done.Staying safe while gambling? In speaking about on technical aspects then it would really be
just that common sense that you do really need to avoid on exposing on whatever account information that you do have. Dont tend to be that too open or make them aware and 2fa is a must
or something that in default specially if you do have big money inside those account balance then it would really be just that a normal approach.

Speaking about getting safe from addiction? You would really be able to do such thing if you are really that sensible towards on how you do treat up gambling.
If its for fun then its just fine but if you are really that going for making money then this is where problem begins.

Even the common sense is no longer common for some people. Sometimes you could see people and from their looks you would think they are responsible but that is far from the thought. When it comes to gambling there are such people they do not really think about the responsible aspect of it, all the think is just to target winning yes it's not a bad idea to win but when one takes it as a must, they begin to over step the boundary and become addicted all in the name of chasing wins. Those kind of people end up making huge losses forgetting that they initially started gambling for fun. That is why it is said gamble for fun and gamble responsibly.
1076  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let fear to lose be motivation to learn on: October 05, 2023, 10:27:01 AM
Fear of the unknown has made lots of people remain in their comfort zones.
Yes, the majority of our youth today are experiencing this; they are simply afraid to leave their familiar surroundings and continue to strive for positive outcomes in life. Staying in your comfort zone prevents you from making any progress and causes your life to become stagnant. The majority of us don't succeed in our comfort zones; this particular problem is unknown because every advancement occurs unexpectedly, but you still need to be brave and face your fear.
This is so because most of them thinks there is nothing out there to hold unto so in that case they had better remain at their comfort zone to be able to survive till they see  a good source or means of survival. They forget that merely living alone is a risk and in life, it is risky not to take risk because life itself is full of risk and only the ones who dare take the bull by the horn comes out strong and victorious.  Life is full of battles and it only takes the fittest to survive it. If you must make waves in the society, you must conquer fear by stepping out of your comfort zone to make good use of your capacity and capabilities. If you read the history of billionaires all round the world, you would find out that they took risk and they all left their comfort zones to make achievements in life. Until you conquer fear, you would not know what it means to be great in life.
1077  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Apart from the bitcoin core, are there any other way to store bitcoin? on: October 05, 2023, 09:39:04 AM
From what I could deduce from OP enquiries, OP is really wanting to know which is the best wallet as a newbie but there are lots of wallets OP can subscribe to which have already been made known here for OP perusals. What I will say is that OP should be able to get acquainted with the easiest and secured ones first while learning more about the higher sophisticated wallets.

I don't know if it's an unfortunate choice of words or you're using it wrong, but one doesn't subscribe to a wallet. A wallet is just a tool one installs and uses.
If you, by chance, make an account at a website telling you that it's a wallet, that's actually a service holding a wallet for which you usually don't hold the keys. And you may know the saying "not your keys, not your coins".

Also a newbie may play with very small amounts or it may go big, since bitcoin price may grow fast. And if one has a couple thousands invested he may want to make sure he uses a safe wallet. Not a difficult one, not a sophisticated one, but surely a safe one. And that requires a little bit of knowledge.

I was just being so excited seeing another newbie account joining the platform and as such would be looking for guidance on how to go about their activities. Please pardon me for my choice of words. What I was trying to explain by using the word subscribe to is that OP should use the wallet that he can easily adapt to download and install while learning about the other wallets because as a newbie those wallets installation process may seem more complex for OP to comprehend but as time goes on OP would get used to them after learning more about them.

If its for fun then its just fine but if you are really that going for making money then this is where problem begins.

Well, in every casino, we must always understand something, casinos were invented to entertain people, when it is said that people have fun even though they spend or lose money, maybe someone says it because it is so, because at least I see the casino as a trading service, where basically we pay for a service and that service offers you to play, where if you are lucky enough your money is not lost but won, even though there is a clear house advantage and a series of factors that there are for us as players to lose, then these types of things are what we basically have to think about.

When a gambler thinks that when he enters a casino and if he bets a lot of money, his right is for the casino to return the money, or that he has the right to win, well, he is very wrong because things are not like that, things move From a bull's point of view, that's why we, as good players, always say that first of all the caisno e sun negicoi is a company, where obviously the Udeños must win, but it wouldn't make sense to start a business, no one is going to start a business to make losses. and the others are winning, things won't work like that, because for that you don't have anything to do with or have any business, then there will always be a clear vejta of the house.

When we as players understand this, we are basically saying that we accept the rules of the casino and that we can do many more things, but basically we cannot see how if the casino has a duty to us, the casino always offers many things, contests , bonuses, but all under conditions, so many say that it should not be like that, well maybe not, when you enter a treacherous case, the cases are different, there is no such thing, not even the KYC thing, only the identification, and that's what they ask of you, just exchange the money for chips and that's it, if you lose chips you lose money.


At first before registering on a casino, you have to read through their terms of service to be satisfied with it before going further to getting registered on that casino platform.  After that, you can commence other processes that qualifies and grants you access to play on the casino. Doing all these directly means that you have accepted every thing you have read about the casino and what ever decision they take your stay with them and they are not compelled in any  way to make explanations to you whatever the case maybe. All these should get stucked in your mind before moving further with the casino.

When it comes to gambling, it is known that we should gamble responsibly and with fun which means that wether you win or not, gambling is for fun and one should not have the mindset of always wanting to win at all cost because when one does that one would definitely be disappointed with the results they would get and that could make them start to chase their losses and it results to addiction.

Just like every other businesses, casinos are business ventures and as such are always wanting to make profit and would go to any extent just to get back their capital or funds lost. Even when there is discrepancies in a players record, they are not letting it go just like that. The ToS of the casino comes into play just to recover that funds they have there. So you see that they are just there for fun and funds as well. Players should know that too because they would need money to maintain the casino and pay their staff.

What do you really think is the major cause of power failure here in Nigeria despite the huge funds going into the power sector
A very good question, and i can say that the short answer to it is corruption. It is shocking that no administration has been able to handle the issue of epileptic power supply and provide constant electricity for Nigerians. Naija as a nation dey lack in all areas of electricity: generation, transmission, distribution/supply, e no really make sense and the government has to do more.

TBH, e dey very sad say in 2023 we still dey talk about constant electricity, when other nations dey advance technologically and in other aspects, a nation as rich and blessed as ours no suppose get epileptic power supply as one of its problems.
Just like Ghana planning to key into electricity development as a result of their industrialisation to boost production and encourage the industries in their country to maintain their stand there and keep producing and paying their electricity tariff. This would have been the resolve of Nigeria but corruption would not allow our leaders see the positive aspects of it. Rather what they have in mind is a means of embezzlement even in a sector where the focus should be generation of electricity power supply so as to encourage people, industries etc to produce, businesses to thrive so that tariffs would be paid by consumers but the reverse is the case.

It is a shame that Nigeria is still at this stage of facing electricity power outage while this should have been a thing of the past.  Other nations are talking of technological innovation and advancement, showcasing what they can offer to the world, here Nigeria is still dragging feet behind with corruption and underdevelopment.

I came across this update on one of the online dailies and it baffles me a lot. I remembered that Nigeria supplies Ghana electricity and I could remember vividly clear that there was a period Ghana celebrated one week constant electricity power supply  without interruption while depending on Nigeria as her supplier but the reverse is the case here in Nigeria. Ghana as a nation are developing their power sector rapidly while still depending on Nigeria and up to the point of possibly becoming a supplier to Nigeria as soon as they are done with the final stage of development of their power sector.

This information was disclosed while they were having a Summit at Lagos on Nigeria Energy Leadership Summit as graced by Mr. Hanson Monney, the Head of the Generation and Transmission Unit at the Ghanaian Ministry of Energy.

“So, we are working on all these things to make sure that the power system of Ghana continues to be as good as it is or even better, and then, maybe, we can be exporting more to our big brothers in Nigeria when the grid is finally settled,”

This has made me to have  a thought over this and I was wondering what is really the cause of our electricity gridlock and  epileptic power supply here in Nigeria. Finance I think is not the cause of our power shortage here in Nigeria as our government allocates huge fund to the power sector, Policies are made to help sustain power supply and also payment of electricity tariff which is not favorable to consumers as they complain lack of power supply and hence some do not bother complying with payment and if they do pay, they make part payment.

Quote
Monney stressed the significance of lowering electricity prices, particularly for enterprises, since high electricity bills are a major issue in Ghana. “We saw that in Ghana historically. These industries have been subsidizing the residential sector, and it should be the other way around. Industries should remain viable so that businesses can thrive,”

Would Nigeria be able to Implement such policies as Ghana did to sustain and encourage her citizens to pay their electricity tariff. What do you really think is the major cause of power failure here in Nigeria despite the huge funds going into the power sector coupled with the fact that Nigeria is rich in mineral deposit which could have helped well enough to cushion the lapses in our  power sector.
