Risk is when a person is exposing him/her self to dangers, possibility of incurring loss or misfortune
So many people run away from business opportunities just because they fear they will run into loose and didn't want to take such risk
I have come to the realization that the word risk is part of life and that it is better you take part in it than not
From history it has been said that the great entrepreneur and business men/woman where all risk takers when you take risk you throw your self to the real of possibilities

There is something that has become a serious concern to me and I can't help but share it here. It's about how the military and security agencies treats most youth on the street just because they dress or look a certain way that appear rich. There had been several instances where an average youth had been molested and his privacy infringed upon just because of the way he dresses and sometimes because he is driving an expensive car. Should we now dress messy or board a public vehicle when we have the means of driving our own?

What informed this topic is the incident that I witnessed while returning from work this evening where a young guy was heavily slapped and embarrassed just because he dresses a certain way and when he was stopped and asked to unlock his phone he refused doing so and told them they where infringing om his privacy.

Is it even right for the police to forcefully attempt getting access into our mobile device? Isn't that an infringement on our privacy?

My fellow Nigerians una good day SIRs and MAs, I come with one matter way they worry all the students for 9ja, this matter don rise but e com worst as this man way them they call am JAGABAN become the president.
The thing be say school fees done increase to the level way be say some students way their parents no get money, them done quit school because no money to afford the school fees.
As I never see any discussion about this school fees matter nai make me raise the alarm, because plenty of us nah 9ja students, abi we no hear say 2 days ago protest happen for the university of LAG (Lagos State University)? This one nah the unilag protest link, and the worst part of the matter be say even the police men beat up students.
Students they vex how this man go just come one day increase school fees reach the amount of money way e reach to buy some piece of land for some local areas, abi e good like that?

Na for discussion forum like this you go know say no knowledge when you don gather so far is a waste. Sometimes discussions go burst out for some board inside the forum like this and if you read through the replies you go find so many persons when de struggle to relate with the topic being discussed because they are probably hearing it for the first time.


For economy board for instance, you go de hear discussion about inflation, monopoly and someny other small small concept when we don learn for secondary schooll snd for you to fit contribute meaningfully, you need understand those terms. Apart from that one, e get plenty discussion when you go fit easily relate with based on the theoretical knowledge you don been gather for school.

So my question be say, how your general knowledge for school don de help you for both the forum and for real life?

This question conveys a lot of opinions. Whilst some people would blame it on the state of the economy or the bad leadership or some might go as far as saying the political juggernauts at the top are responsible for the state of the nation, I would personally like to see this situation is emanating in a chronic manner as a result of the overconsumption of other people’s lives. This , I’d like to say is the root reason because if everyone can learn to overlook how classy and prosperous others are and instead focus on what you have and strife to achieve your own goals instead of trying to live or mimic someone’s lifestyle, I believe things are practically going to get better .:: for me, happiness is a choice and how you chose to achieve it depends on what happiness truly means to you

when it's not yet your turn, don't be tempted to think people ahead of you are using juju to succeed. it's their turn. keep on clapping for them and do not envy them. your turn will definitely come if you remain consistent and never give up.

your dream is to succeed and it's why you are fighting and struggling to succeed. that's why you are swallowing in pains and making personal sacrifices for success. But do you know that there are friends and relatives whose dreams and prayers in life is for you to fail.

And the moment you fail, they have succeeded. they will be so happy because they have achieved their lifetime ambition. so, don't give up. keep on keeping on . shame and prove them wrong by succeeding. and don't give them joy by failing.

Abi. will you allow them, smile at your down fail one day.

Naija Na one country we be say get level, bcos em no only they rich for natural resources but e get rich history too, I remember those days wey them dey teach us some of this historical events for school but most of us done forget.
So make we celebrate our country here by saying one historical event and the date e happen so make others wey no know learn ,

 1. On April 2nd 1972 Naija change from right hand drive wey the British people introduce to them to left hand drive wey dey common
Among French people and the Americans.
2. Gen Aguiyi Johnson ironsi na the first military head of state of Naija.
3. 1st of January 1973 Na when our country Naija start to they use Naira.
 My people make una add the ones wey una still remember.

One of the major problems we are facing in our country Naija is the regulation of price should be handled by the police or tax forces to monitor every citizen selling goods, must of the company really take advantage of the current situation of the price because of the dollar rate, even when the dollar is not high some people are selling a particular commodity or goods in different rate, this is because no one is monitoring them, and it really affecting the poor because of the price rate, don’t you think this is really happening? Everyone should know what I’m talking about. If you go to 4 different stores you will find out that it different prices.
If our government should look into this price of a thing.

I greet the house,
Looking at the way things are going in our dear country, the inflation, price hike, high cost of living, unemployment, corruption and nepotism in our country, one will easily give up on the chances of getting a better life, our youths are only actively carried along by our leaders only during elections, after the elections they are no where to be found, most youths have resulted to different criminal activities in a quest to earn a living, most have met their untimely death in the process,

But here comes technology, with technology most youths now have a source of income online, in areas of content creation, forex trading, Bitcoin investment, affiliate marketing, and so on, you even have to work from home and earn well on a weekly bases, most youths have become millionaires from this, and good number of youths are still waiting for the white collar jobs, which I don't think will be available for them anytime soon looking at the economic and commercial situations of our dear country,

 most of these youths have android phones, laptops but don't know how to make money with it, I remember some years ago after I actually subscribed my phone I sat and I wondered What I was using the previous subscriptions to do, because I was spending on subscriptions without making money from it, from that day I advised myself and the rest was history,

Technology is a lasting solution to unemployment in Nigeria so as youths we should take full advantage of it, bcos most of these jobs online pays in dollars, and the best thing that can happen to you now in this country in this present economic crises is earning in dollars, I know all of us here have taken advantage of this technology, but we still have younger siblings, relatives, friends and colleagues that have not taken advantage of this, let's try to blend them into this technological advancements, instead of giving them the fish, show them how to fish.

Our system of Education is something else, starting from the primary system to the tertiary system. That of the the tertiary system their varieties of challenges it undergoes, for instance
 
* Over Population
* Outdated Curricula
* Lack of qualified faculty and equipment for studies
* Lectures Accepting Bribe (Sorting)

Talking about the over-population, the school authorities are no longer interested in the conduciveness of a class room, or has a limited set of person that is meant to be admitted in a department to ensure conducive learning, they admit to the extent that students now sit on the floor or outside the class room to take lectures due to lack of space.

Outdated Curricula. On this particular note, Nigerian universities are still making use of outdated curriculum to lecture their students, how do these universities curriculum prepare her students for the modern work force. Using my school as a case study, just imagine learning FORTRAN in this modern time, when other countries are leaning advance computer programming options

Lack of Qualified Faculty and Equipment for studies
Nigerian system of learning lack major equipment for learning, after being in the school environment for as much as your programme requires, then coming out to the public and you have nothing to offer due lack of necessary equipment for studies and conditions the students are being placed under.

Sorting in Nigerian Universities are now seen as a normalcy,
Lecturers in these universities are now adding to back logging of the educational system. Just imagine a student going for a job interview and is being asked questions related to his or her field of study and they can't come out with something tangible due to the corrupt process they've passed through.

I would have taken time to translate this post to maybe the pigin language but there is no possible correct translation to the pigin language  and I think this matter is very crucial to make any mistakes with translation and since this matter is  very important, I felt it necessary  to bring it to the attention of people in my local board to stay very careful of any email pretending  to be FTX .

Below is the link to the original  post by Z390 and I will encourage you all to click on the link below and go read the news in full.

I great ona my people of 9ja. This matter just enter my head. Though no be about bitcoin Sha, but wetting dey affect our growth for Bitcoin forum expecially the newbie or members. Which na about our inability to understand the forum. I no say me fit dey for the categori of wetting I wan talk. but any how e be I gat to still talk am. Most of us wey dey complain here, say Dem no dey grow or get merit
 . na because of how we dey misuse our time. but I think na we be the cause of or own problem. We dey spend %80 of our time for social media and %20 for bitcointalk. without chanelling %80 to Bitcointalk and %20 to social media. I think what is so inportant in life is how we should put the most important thing first in our life, rather taking the less important first.

The few times I put my effort here, I see say I grow, but as I leave am, I just dey statgnant. But than one no mean say wetting favorite me go favour you. That is to say that stangnacy is a barrier to success. If I had chanelled my effort constantly here, maybe I for fit still grow pass like this. The same thing chaneld to the society.  person wey dey bring him mind to learn work, dey better pass that one wey no serious.

Wetting ona think about am?

My country people, joy hit my chest today ooo, I no no maybe e  reach urside, MTN wipe my debt and everybody for our area oo, dis one don throw joy for everybody face. Imagine the debt wey you know no how u go take pay, all of a sudden Dem wipe am commot. Dis one sweet my belle. MTN una don reduce worry and overthinking for this economic crisis. As e be now person go fit buy data take dey do online hustle, stay updated on Bitcoin matter

In recent years, it seems that a lot of people have been making low-value posts just to get paid. To address this, I've added a merit "cost" to posting: from this point forward, for every 15 characters you post, you will lose one Merit point. This should eliminate any incentive to make low-value posts.

Any halfway-decent poster should be able to earn much more merit than they lose due to the penalty. But I recognize that some good posts are occasionally overlooked. So to counterbalance the penalty, I also added a system whereby you will earn a bit of merit just by reading posts. If you want to write a lot, you'd better do some reading as well!

For both the penalty and the bonus, this applies only to your merit score, and does not affect sendable merit (sMerit).

Let me know what you think of these adjustments.

The rate at which young people dey get diabetis and hypertension these days is alarming.
The rate at wish young boys dey consume beer with no moderation is increasing everyday. Some go take five to ten bottle of beers dey call am enjoyment. That kind life no be enjoyment. You dey only destroy your body system.
Excess consumption of alcohol fit cause diabetes.

E get wetin dey regulate our sugar intake , them dey call am INSULIN. When you take too much beer, e go make the insulin no dey work well again, this will then cause increase blood sugar level. Excess beer dey destroy won organ for our body wey them dey call Pancreas. This pancreas  dey produce Insulin wey dey regulate sugar as I mentioned earlier. Imagine say that organ is destroyed, that's the worst type of diabetes

Do you also know that excess beer consumption  dey cause Obesity which is a risk factor for diabetes?
Diabetes is also link with hypertension, e mean say person wey his or her sugar level dey high fit get hypertension too which is dangerous to you heart, if e affect heart, na Cardiac arrest, if e affect kidney, na kidney failure and if e affect  brain, na stroke be that.

Some young guys now dey complain say their manhood no dey stand well( Poor Erection) some of them na due to excess sugar for body. So if you get this kind issue and you know say you dey drink alcohol well well, go check your sugar level.

Diabetes no get cure, you can only manage it with life style changes till you go old die.
I say make I bring this thread here because I get person wey get this diabetes for young age and I know wetin the person they pass through.

Please drink in moderation if you choose to drink, and do not make it a daily lifestyle
I hope this message help someone here.

Just like wetin I talk for the other side naim I carry come here make una reason together.

I greet everyone I know many of us wey dey here suppose don get better understanding about crypto-currency and even how to trade on binance but I still believe that this forum is growing and there are still many newbies coming in.
 so to go straight to the point my friend who is a bit new to crypto-currency was telling me about here experience sell her Bitcoin a popular exchange she has already understood some of the basic on how to sell but this Time while selling the buyer asked for here number which she gave and then chatted her demanding that they trade outside the exchange, and even offered a higher deal than the exchange. this is a big red flag because you a vulnerable to getting scammed if you are trading with someone you don't know off the exchange no matter how juicy the offer is.
