Organ harvested are everywhere these days because of the rapid falling of human organs which is attributed to high level of processed food people eat this time. It is unfortunate you didn't send the link for more information but the story is not far from what we see and hear of. Some "hospitals" are disguised for other hidden business like exchanging and selling of babies, being involved in child trafficking through motherless homes etc. Some shaddy owners of motherless baby homes encourage teenagers to get pregnant for money. So these are all crimes perpetrated in hospital circle and government need to be strict about punishment.

This is a good move from India, they can try to make an effective progress through this, it's not all about forming a clique that matters but seing governments coming together to a cause of a progressive unity and development among themselves, we are expecting them together with other leaders to form a leadership worth emulation, think more about the people than themselves, also make policies that will lead to massive development more than ever before, am so excited seing some of the African countries in attendance, this will give them more insights to what more is expected of them to deliver to the people they govern.

There is no difference between economic partnership and political partnership because they work together. If an economic bloc has political issues with another bloc, they are going to collaborate in support for one another. So it is also a clique that india is fostering whichever way that we look at it. India is gradually getting into competition with China and even US wiih her large population. The success of the summit is laudable since it has increased in numerical strength which will further give india space in competing in African economy.
1903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You Manage Your Adrenaline Rush In Gambling? on: September 12, 2023, 03:55:43 PM
The reason that adrenaline will be high is if you have taken the risk too high for you. Such high risk is not that you can't afford to lose the money but because you hate to lose it then you feel bad about it.

Why taking such high risk if you want your adrenaline not to be high? So to take lower risk is just fine to keep your adrenaline moderate.

But incase I trigger my adrenaline by taking so high risk, I only try to keep myself happy and that will help to distract me. So I go watch some comedy and that will make me laugh either comedy movies or comedy skit and forget the sorrow.

However, a friend said he tries to reduce the adrenaline by being with a woman which is a recipe to quick sleep  Grin. Yeah maybe trying to sleep can help. Sleep if you can.
1904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting Features on any Banking or Financial apps should be Removed on: September 12, 2023, 03:13:25 PM

The problem is that some people immediately view gambling as a bad or illegal thing when, in fact, its purpose is only to entertain people, similar to the concept of shopping online where you spend and enjoy.

That is actually the challenge because many see gambling as something that reasonable people are not suppose to indulge in since they are seeing those gambling not being successful in it and wasting their money. If gambling were an aspect of life where those who are in it are doing well, of course people will want to go further in it by searching for ads themselves. In the past, you are regarded as in responsible if you are a gambler, you are not regarded in the community just like those who are drunk. However things have changed and so long you are able to make profit from whatever endeavor you are now regarded. Gambling ads will keep flashing in our faces since job opportunities have reduced and people have gone towards trying their luck in other endeavors.
1905  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Investment or Fx on: September 12, 2023, 12:45:00 PM

In my opinion, assuming I am having $1000, I can use $10 to learn how to trade, $100 for trading, and the rest to investment on less risky assets.

This is being prudent with money at hand, e make sense to diversify because some people go just throw all the $1k enter inside one business, investment or even take am begin trade and when you lose everything go waka, no back up but square one again. Money management make sense for investment and to go trade. Omo me I go prefer to invest oo than to trade because wetin I dey hear about trading hmmm. However, investing no be for shit projects oo, btc still be the top investment for cryptocurrency levels.
1906  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Investment or Fx on: September 12, 2023, 12:10:31 PM
Though FX trading na still investment oo but with the information wey you bring come about the two of them, me I go take investment oo, because I see the risk for forex high pass the crypto investment especially when we dey talk about the Ogah of dem all "BITCOIN" and some other legit coins like Ethereum, reason I say so forex na more of short term holding and if you go greedy somehow you go lost well well, unlike those baba dem wey dey hold bitcoin since 2012, their account go just dey green anyhow by now.


Brother forex things, market or trading no be investment oo. Forex na trading like I try explain on my own understanding. Investment for forex or crypto na when you no trade am and you just hodl am for your wallet, exchange wallet as the case may be for cryptocurrency, and if you keep your dollar, Euro or pounds etc for your domiciliary account. But if you talk of FX, that one generally mean say you dey trade am , so if you dey trade fiat currency or cryptocurrency then you are not doing investment but trade and it is risky anyway. Investment na if you only hodl am. Well my little idea be that.
1907  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: On security Nigeria died on: September 12, 2023, 08:26:42 AM

Until our security institution is reformed and made to stand for what they are supposed to, I don't see us making much progress as a people.

It is unfortunate say the Nigerian system no dey allow for institutions to work because the government pattern of leadership tie everything to the executive headed by the President. This is so unfortunate, if we dey think say the country go better like this na lie. From the beginning, at least for this democracy beginning from OBJ, him establish EFCC and anybody wey dey against him government dey for EFCC list.

I believe say this Nigeria for dey on the part of proper democratic tenets if to say Yar'adua no die. Yar'adua admitted that the election wey bring him to power in 2007 dey fraudulent and in 2009 around march inaugurated electoral reform committee wey justice uwais be the head. So that committee been try say make the power of appointing INEC chairman be shifted to collective professionals/ institutions so that INEC go dey neutral and not answerable to the president. Goodluck Jonathan no continue with the reform, him allow people wey no want the country good to push him out of it.

Therefore, the point be say make institutions dey appoint these key positions of security, INEC etc but if the president still do all those then we are far from it. The bible say the people rejoice when the righteous dey for throne and we know the system no dey allow such people enter there. Is a corrupt place with impunity, see court judgements dey fly wrongly up and down. How can we now get it better this way hmmm .
1908  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Investment or Fx on: September 12, 2023, 06:55:35 AM

Now let's choose

For me I will just go with Fx and my reasons is this

Learning  FX gives you the foundational level and knowledge to Investment,when  you learn FX you can predict what to invest on,which gives you two additional knowledge  at a time.

However, you might be in support or the other way round or might have anything to add or correct,all welcomed let's here your choice Smiley

You try to brush the topic on FX and you also add am investment. I for talk say we need to understand say when we talk about investment, no be only cryptocurrency hodling be investment or the only area wey be investment. Like you have different investment before crypto, although I read where you say you dey particular about digital currency and I take am to be crypto hodling but not FX (trading) or crypto (trading).

Having said that, you need understand again say when FX is mentioned say that one mean trading fiat and crypto investment mean hodling crypto because people still dey trade crypto and that one no be crypto investment again because you fit lose all your money for anything wey be trading both FX or crypto trading and FX no be fiat hodling. So you fit still see people wey dey hodl fiat and that one fit still be fiat investment/hodling just like crypto hodling or investment.

But I know no who go want hodl Naira and call am investment because inflation go chop am finish and scrap him head like as if him enter barber shop. So , but people fit hodl $ € and other foreign currency as fiat investment because potential to rise dey there and high.

Learning  FX gives you the foundational level and knowledge to Investment,when  you learn FX you can predict what to invest on,which gives you two additional knowledge  at a time.

For this level, I no really know wetin you carry for mind because when you talk about FX that one na trading fiat currency, so if you dey carry "knowledge to investment" join am except you dey talk about knowing the fiat wey you want hodl for your domi account like the politicians and the "big boys " dey do. Them dey keep foreign currency for their domicilliary account and expect am to appreciate just like crypto or bitcoin.

However, you fit know about the strength of other foreign currency and their economy if you dey do FX but strictly, when you talk about FX then you dey talk the trading of fiat/currency no be investment. And that na very risky thing to do. If you don read about am you go know and that na why people prefer to still dey hodl crypto than trading it. So, me I choose to hodl or invest in crypto not trading.

.

There are not God fearing people.

This is the irony in the matter of politics. I think in the bible, it was mentioned that the people rejoice when the righteous is on the throne. So are there no righteous in the throne or is every politicians agent of darkness?

But people have to occupy does polical offices and most times they are those who would squander the public funds because no righteous man would challenge them down on such wrong doing.
1910  Economy / Economics / Re: Economics 101. Stagflation. on: September 11, 2023, 06:59:58 PM

In fact, the average person does not care much about all these academic terms. All he cares about is searching for practical solutions to get out of this misery, because there is no hope for him that the government will solve any problem from the list of accumulated problems.

The government has jettison both the school economic theories and even the off book economy teaches and they seem like no direction any more. Perhaps one is tempted to think that the past leadership were more knowledgeable in economics and how to move their country forward. The current leaders are so engrossed in power tussle but they forget that when you go to war, instigate it or try to push others into it then you have changes and challenges in your budgets and financial policies which of course also leads to negative changes in your capital projects and amenities to improve the lives and standard of living of the people.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Friendly wagers in Bitcointalk on: September 11, 2023, 05:25:16 PM

It should be a fun thing only with small amounts and hopefully everyone keeps his word, I know many people would say that it’s better to just bet on a casino but I think it’s more fun here and also sometimes you can agree on better returns.
What do you think about this? I hope it’s not breaking any rules here.

Of course it is usually fun to wager off the real casino betting. In my local parlance, that kind of betting is called "side" which means outside the usual casino betting through your account on the website. I think that could be better understood as off the table betting, like in table games where two people are playing, those who are watching can bet on each other or wager against each while the two individual gamblers have there own separate bet.

Yes that can be called P2P betting and some gamblers specialize on this kind called outside or outside the game, I have witnessed this more in card games, snooker or billiard games.

However, such kind of betting here may need escrow.
1912  Economy / Economics / Re: Economics 101. Stagflation. on: September 11, 2023, 04:43:34 PM
I think most economy are already in this situation because of the high inflation that causes price of goes to rise and bringing purchasing value down as the currency is devalued. Production in turn is also affected because when goods don't leave there manufacturing area to the customer where utility is delivered then no need for continuing production and that means the economy because stagnated.

Bitcoin is not the solution for economies that are struggling with inflation IMO at least not when it is not legalized.
1913  Economy / Economics / Re: When are you planning to quit? on: September 11, 2023, 03:55:07 PM
I think your question is not really a direct one because this is a forum where information and knowledge are shared and I don't know who wants to at least stop getting knowledge and information about what is happening on bitcoin and cryptocurrency globally, apart from crypto related discussions, some other facets of life are also discussed here so this forum is rich in information.

Like can you ask when someone will quit from X, Facebook, LinkedIn, telegram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, YouTube, Reddit, Medium etc.

You could direct your question properly to ask when someone would quit signature campaign or earning from the forum. I think that is simple and direct .
1914  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Pray For Morocco on: September 11, 2023, 03:03:41 PM
It is a pity for the people of Morocco to suffer this kind of earth quake after 1960 that it had a historical earthquake killing people in thousand.

The international community should really rally round Morocco to help them out of the casualty that is already increasing. For last hour ago, the death toll has climbed to around 2,500 and the injured is also about the figure for the death. This is a shocking for Africa continent, just when they are having issues with coup and AU working to ensure peace and this calamity is happening at same time. This is sad to see, watching the video makes me feel bad.
1915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 11, 2023, 09:20:55 AM
Learning from experienced players how to control our gambling habits is the best method to escape addiction. Most times it's best to have them around you in real life, watch how they go about their daily activities, it'll help the addicted player to shape his/her bad gambling attitude. One of the things to learn from experts, may include, managing our money by setting out a specific amount that we must stake for the day. If exhausted gambling for the day ends.

The worst part of addiction, is lack of self control. If an addicted person doesn't manage their funds,  when they go broke, you'll see that such person will do anything possible just to gamble or win. Another good strategy is to stay with people friends or relatives who are not gamblers, join them in their daily activities, like sports or useful discussions. This will help the addicted player to forget gambling for some times, thereby reducing the urge to gamble as usual.

How do you imagine it, someone should constantly be near you while you study? It doesn’t work like that, everything happens the other way, you make a mistake and try to understand what needs to be changed so that it doesn’t happen again, in fact, for this you need to make a lot of mistakes that will help you make your own rules that will help you become a better gambler. If you are unable to learn from mistakes, then no experienced teacher will help you...

The best teacher in terms of gambling is what we have come to tell ourselves, the realities that have come to our faces and one of it is that if we lack the finance to keep playing hugely the way we use to play then our addiction will start to reduce. If you have a reduced playing time because of lack of money and no one to borrow from, naturally the habit will be curtailed to bearest minimum and with time even if we come back, we should have learnt our lessons and play reasonably.

It is not a source of income, this is another factor that will help an addict gambler to be cautious of what he is doing. This factor is difficult to be assimilated by those who see it as source of income but that is the reality, gambling is not a means of source of income because it doesn't profit you all the time.
1916  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: what can ordinary man do on: September 10, 2023, 08:22:28 PM
Killing for Nigeria no dey be anything again and one thing wey you go know be say security people na target for this our insecurity challenge. Gun men dey attack police people wella, maybe dem dey vex for some attrocities wey over do police men dey do and that fit cause make mob action happen on top anyone wey lose guide himself. The police people too dey over show people even innocent people no be small. I no justify mob action but I just dey try say na some reasons wey fit cause something like that. To secure police people, na the reason dem build quarters and police barracks for them but things don fall apart. The barracks are not even maintained that is if they still exist in the nature that it was built or they are now even subletting them.
1917  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic and finances start young Age Stablecoins on: September 10, 2023, 03:18:25 PM

But we also have to adapt to their age in teaching these children. Maybe you can wait until they become teenagers so they can understand what you are explaining.

That brings us to the right age to put children through with blockchain, bitcoin and all the gamut of digital currency because some children are precocious enough that they can assimilate faster than others. So would you then say such children are not of a particular age whilst they are already asking such questions as they either see them on the internet. I think no need to wait if a child is already inclined in the way that they are asking to know about blockchain and you know they have that speed to learn and understand.

For that same Lagos state, na im dem dey harass and beat up voters wey don see the thing wey dis Tinubu go do because dem wan vote against him. If we look very well self we go see some of the lasu Muslim bigots wey follow dey harass people wey no wan vote APC/TINUBU. Yes many Muslim feel say instead wey Christian go become president say make Tinubu dey there and dem rig him enter, today na who the thing affect go dey bear am. Tinubu na tax wey him sabi, na to increase standard of living and not to improve it na him im sabi. Shabi him be governor during Obasanjo when dem two get problem and obj seize Lagos state allowance, no be IGR him take rule? Agbero begin full everywhere for Lagos.

1919  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: What's the next Trend After Japa? on: September 10, 2023, 10:09:42 AM

I think wetin dey trend right now for naija na content creation. If you open social media na contents full everywhere like comedy skits, pranks, blind dates etc. Person like Sabinus wey people no no before don make name for himself through comedy skits. BrainJotter, Shaggi, Untouchable... di names too plenty, even some artiste wey don already establish for Nollywood dey run their own skit wey come dey make me dey wonder weda skits dey pay pass Nollywood abi na just anoda side hustle for dem. If you check am well different names dey come up everyday and dem dey do very well. So content creation na di trending topic now.

My brother na skit dey pay pass to dey make movies oo. You go need to compare the cost for the two join too, the time wey e go take, the viewers choice. Like me now, I dey like the skit pass home video wey be say dem don finish wetin dey get to act, their directors and script writers no get anything to talk about again but comedy skit go make you relax and laugh out the sorrows in Nigeria and skit no dey last which makes more sense so that you no go just seat down two hours dey watch and listen to one kind story wey yourself fit write. For the aspect of the money wey dem dey make too, as we already know say naija no dey rush hussle for where gain no dey. I listen to sabinus one day wey dem interview him, hmmm the money for the skit be like oil money and you know even need to too dey funny to go into the stuff just make content dey your head and you com dey creative.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: September 10, 2023, 09:32:26 AM

Therefore, we should not take advantage of the sincerity of our parents, such as using pocket money for gambling, obviously it is a bad act. Honestly I don't understand those who do it, but in my opinion if the child has a good personality and knows how to appreciate then I think something like that will not happen, I mean they will not be able to use their pocket money for gambling. I think whether you're using your own money or your parents' money, it's definitely not a good idea to spend it on gambling, it's better not to do it at all.

Teenage age is a really complicated time of the young persons. They want to have a feel of so many things around them. Just like toddlers that you try to prevent from crawling to dangerous environment but they will keep going back there. So this is synonymous to the actions of a young person and this is why they need to be properly guided so that they won't be mislead .

Parents need to teach their children on the good, the bad and their effects but we also know that the children learn faster from what they see their parents doing so the first place of control is the parents not to exibit character not worthy to be emulate. If a parent is a gambler of course the child could likely be emulating that especially if the parent is unconsciously lose about that by not taking precautions of hiding it from the child.
