As a business person, for you to remain relevant in this age, you will need to accept the technological changes that have taken place in businesses and the change in marketing strategy.

You can't successfully run a good business at the moment without at least having a site where you advertise your product either via your WhatsApp status or your Facebook page.

Gone are those days when you expect to have customers only from your neighborhood, the changes in technology have helped to a very large extent ineffective marking and increased visibility of your business.

It's a very sad situation that we've gotten to a point where we've accepted so many wrong practices in our society and we just get used to it with time neglecting the danger that awaits us as a result of our carelessness.

We are in a situation where the police have reduced themselves so low that the only thing they are interested in is to extort money from drivers on the road and look for youths they will abuse just to extort money from them.

I normally don't allow their unguided activity within the state to bother me that much but when I look at what is happening in our interstate borders, I can't just hold back on how disgusting it is and the possibility that our borders with another country might be facing similar situations.

You find a situation where police that is supposed to safeguard travelers and ensure that illegal stuff is not brought into the state focus just on the  2h they will take from drivers and once the driver gives them the money, they allow him to pass without conducting any reasonable search on the vehicle and passengers.

And you will see regular steeling happening on the same road with nothing less than 20 checkpoints. There are times you will get to some checkpoint and the police will be the one telling you that robbery is happening at the front and that you should wait. It's a shame.

I had an experience where one of them was telling one of our fellow passengers to give him money so he would not search the man. Some will even search only the males and allow the females to remain in the vehicle, abi na only males de carry illegal stuff? Even during the covid when the borders were ordered to be locked, the only thing they started doing was to increase The amount of money one pays at each checkpoint to 500h and then they would allow you to freely pass to another state.

Sadly, we take serious matters for granted in this country. Mind you, this is my personal experience in our interstate borders, I haven't gone to our borders with other countries but if this is what is obtainable there, then we are in a very big mess.

When planning to make any investment, it should come from a well-thought-out process or you run into a loss that could have been easily avoided.

From your analogy, I don't feel that it is necessary to invest the money your parents saved up for your education knowing fully well that there is a chance, no matter how slim it is, for the investment to yield a loss.

Also, note that it would be best to invest your savings so that if for any reason anything goes wrong, you will learn your lesson and re-strategize better without hurting anyone in the process.

Education is also a serious investment and according to your post, you have bearly a few months before starting, so why the rush? Face your studies and try making some passive savings that way, you can take your time to study the market and invest positively.

This one na serious matter oh
If i use 4h buy card from the local vendor, i go see am as big deal but I fit recharge 1k asap from bank  I no go even reason am like that.

I think the convenience of recharging easily using ussd or bank apps de blind fold us to the reality that we are being unguided with our spending.

But the truth be say e don tey when I buy physical recharge card and for those of us that use it to do more of subscription that calls, e no really make any difference. As long as we fit easily recharge our phone no matter the time of the day, do our sub, continue our work, then we are good to go.

this one na very sad experience when person done de try to avoid seriously. Na matter how strong we de financial that longing to bond with our old man de always de there though e de hard us to show am. I pray say God go make us better parents when our children go de proud of.

The reason why most people attribute their challenge to being spiritual rather than a medical abnormality Is because of the kind of society we find ourselves in. There are so many cases of individuals who suddenly develop mental disorders with no clue about the cause and that will normally warrant the guardian of the person to term it spiritual.

What I normally advise people in a situation like a sudden mental shift is that they admit the victim in a health facility while praying or believing for healing from whatever God they believe in.

I don't know if it's only in this part of the world but from what I have seen, it's becoming very difficult to find someone who had a great bond with his father while growing up.

I understand that the father is the breadwinner of the home and that this demands that he work very hard to provide for the financial needs of the family. I also know that because of the nature of most work our fathers do, it doesn't give them that much chance to become available for the emotional, psychological, and the rendering of certain discipline to their children, but I think this shouldn't be enough reason why they will not bond with their kids once in a while.

I grew up in a house where my dad was always busy with work to the point where we only see him three times a year and because he feels he has been sending money across for upkeep, he doesn't seem bothered that the kids have missed the role of a father in there lives.

I also know so many youths that we grew up together that had similar and some, worse off experiences growing up with their parents, and now that we've grown and some of us have started a family of our own, some have started repeating this circle in their homes.

How do we balance the part of providing finance for the home and the responsibility of being there for our children as a father?

Abi  if we de provide for the financial need of our homes, e mean to say we don fulfill our role as fathers?

We know say this period na the information age and for you to de relevant you need to get the right information from the right source and at the right time.

This forum don really try on a serious note to give us so many legit information regarding the world of Bitcoin and crypocurrencies in general through our snr men when de regularly share there experience with us and de also give us guidance on how the industry be.

Sometimes you go wan get some legit update online but e de always de difficult to different between the good and the false info based on the numerous numbers of bloggers when de drop unverified information that will look so real but in the end will be discovered as one targeting ignorant people just to exploit them.

E get some list of site when I de mostly check up on to get crypto related information and i go appreciate if una fit verify am for me
They are based on goggle recommendation but I think those when de experience for the forum fit give some fact check on then and also drop some useful site that might help
1. Coin desk
2. Cointegraph
3. Bitcoin.com
4. News btc
And
5. Crypto briefing

When we experience better thing, e de make sense to celebrate am but most time d manner most people de use celebrate am no de too make sense like that.

Because say your wife born pikin, you go Buy drinks, invite people and una go drink to serious highness come start to misbehave. Some go even fight and wound themselves In the process.

Some go write there final exams for school, all in the name of celebration de go over speed there cars come course accident and some of them go die in the process.

E get one valentine period for my community when boys carry there banies go party for the valentine celebration. before you know, dem don drink enter highness levels begin fight themselves with machetes and before that day finish, wetin start as celebration don turn full blown community war.

The instances plenty concerning how we de take abuse moments of celebration but I just wan yarn us say as we de in the spirit of celebration, make we no use am wonjor ourselves. It is not out of place to celebrate, especially when the event is a remarkable one in our lives but it's best we moderate it so our celebration doesn't turn out to sorrows in the end.

As the year de draw to a close, make we celebrate and in the same spirit, make we do am responsibly. I trowe salute give una.

When it comes to the topic of how long a man should last in bed, I think social media and adult sites have painted a very wrong narrative regarding this thereby putting unnecessary pressure on an average man who will be willing to go to any length just to meet up with the high expectation of people on how long one is to last in bed.

Most social media ads and advert is now centered on selling energizing drugs that will boost how long one lasts in bed and youths are seriously taking it at an alarming rate without considering the implication it will have on them in the future. The sad thing about most of these herbal drugs is that they have serious side effects both at the present and in the future of the user.

According to health practitioners, sex is supposed to last between the range of 3 to 15 minutes, and our youth have to understand that it is not a do-or-die affair, it is called love not a show of one's strength as a man

I strongly feel that the pressure that if you don't last up to a particular time, that you're not man enough is the reason why most persons have resolved into the use of energizing/ herbal drugs.

If una get wetin una wan yarn about this matter, make una yarn am.

No matter the amount of information you receive on this forum, if you don't practice and work on having a first-hand experience, you won't understand much.

Experience is key in everything we do and it plays a huge role in determining how successful we will become in that field.

Experienced traders know when to buy when to sell, and when to hodl. They also know how to manage any fluctuation in the market, This helps them to minimize losses and guides them to take reasonable risk.

As you choose either to trade, mine, or do what works best for you, don't forget to learn the fundamentals and apply them correctly. also learn how to start small and gradually, you learn on the job and with time your experience level should have grown and you can now start making a reasonably calculated risk.

I know that formal education has gained popularity to a very large extent, and it seems we've gotten used to it but, have you thought about how effective the IGBO system of education could become if it is properly polished and regulated?

By the IBO system of education, I mean, the process where you decide on what to specialize in, pay a certain amount to someone already in the field, and get to have a first-hand learning process and loads of experience because you are directly learning and working at the same time. It is what most Easterners call serving your master and after a particular year's, he frees you to start working on your own.

I feel it will encourage specialization (which is a key element to mastery)  and that the one-on-one learning condition will boast effective assimilation of what was taught.

If the relationship between the boss in charge of this training and the trainee can be monitored and regulated correctly, I feel it will contribute a lot to increasing technical and industrious individuals in our country.

 

Sometimes I sit back and ask myself some questions like;

What if I was born into a Muslim society, would I have been a Christian?

How is it that of all the religions in this world, I was born in an environment where a particular one was popular and I had to belong to that one, and every other person outside of my religion became a sinner awaiting condemnation?

And unfortunately, in the same way I was made to see the other folks outside my belief system as bad, they also look at me as bad because that's the image that has been painted in our minds by our religious leaders.

But here is the hard reality. If you were born in a Muslim family/community there is a 90% certainty that you will be a Muslim. And this applies to almost all the things we believe in.

Some of the practices we see others involved In and it irritate us to the born, if we grew up in such an environment where they are practiced, we would  do the same

I know we, Nigerians are very religious and will do anything it takes to protect our religious beliefs but then, lets know that we could have been at the other side of religious belief if we grew up there.

Lets serve our God the way he ask us to and allow others to do there's to the best of there  ability caus las las, all of us de worship wetin our elders past give us.


This thread is coming from a place of mutual acceptance and understanding of our differences in belief system which primarily is a function of our environment.

That you are a Muslim doesn't make the Christian, Hindu, juju person or one that practices certain supposed God bad or foolish to be doing so. Remember you will most likely worship the same God or have the same belief system if you grew up in the same environment.

I think that the major determining factor here is how much either of the jobs will offer me.

If I can get a private job that pays double of what the government job offers, i will gladly choose the private job without a second thought about "life time employment" attached to the supposed government jobs

In the real sense, most private sectors pays higher and treat her employee better compared to the government  establishment.

Am being inquisitive right now. So your saying that there might be a time when one feels he has accumulated enough bitcoin and would decide to only maintain the Bitcoin  he has accumulated. I am aware of people saying that accumulating Bitcoin has been an obsession to them irrespective of the amount of Bitcoin they have they still accumulate as much of it as possible since they have the money to put it in. Assuming someone is obsessed is it something that is wrong or it is good especially in this present time?
If only I could Pm so you teach me your ways  

Quite an interesting story and experience you shared here with us I must thank you because i learnt something significant here that I know will help and change the way I go about my investment plan. I understand that It's not only about doing an investment just because you want to, it's about accumulating always even if the price is somewhat different form your speculated price as long as you can afford the gradually purchasing it is good. If you hadn't buy back your Bitcoin then in 2016 before the price skyrocket what would have been the faith of your Bitcoin portfolio now. Hoping for the next halving I am thinking to still accumulating after the halving. Hope it isn't a bad idea?
