And talking about ego, it is commonly said in African proverb that a stubborn fly follows a corpse to the grave, one who is addicted and knows it, and also knows it has passed a level where he can help himself, and knows he needs professional help, but because of ego, refuse to take that step to seeking help, such person so responsible for what ever befalls him at the end of the day..

There are some acts that are done by impulse and not because the person now understand what they are doing. A gambler may not even know he needs help when he becomes an addict to it, it comes to him as what he must do and so at such a stage, it is the neighbors, family etc that can identify the act and forcefully get help for him either by encouraging him or making it for him to gamble like taking the phone away, refusing to provide internet network if he can't subscribe data for himself. The external difficulties are what will discourage him but for him to complain, that may not happen.

I swear na from outsider I hear the information of my own sister marriage because I no get money to add to anything even if they tell me for house and they no kuku invite me for the meeting. Remember say I be the first born ooo Grin e no funny but I just dey laugh with pain when I remember the matter.

Gradually, as I comot for house con hustle and begin dey show impact for family matters small small, things change no be small. Dem dey consult me for everything now. Even thou na fly pass our house dem go call to tell me. Abeg e good to get money.

2444  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is diversification 2 different coins really be good advice 4 Newbies? on: July 18, 2023, 01:08:41 PM
Diversification dey very good because of the advantages wey dey dere. At least if you diversify, you go get some hope if things no go well with the other investment. However, talking about cryptocurrency, na only Bitcoin be the coin wey no go disappoint you so instead to begin go put money into all these other shit coins, e go better to just hodl some amount of bitcoin. Other coins like Ethereum or bnb fit still give hope but no need to diversify into where road no dey. Newbies need to ask questions and do small research wey dem fit do before investing.
2445  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Learn to unlearn and unlearn to learn on: July 18, 2023, 09:53:21 AM
Wetin we go understand about learning be say e dey get zeal. People wey want help demselve no dey look at the challenges of learning wey include your ability to understand as e relate to how your brain fit carry you reach. We sabi say things about learning relate to how intelligent your parents be, na that one make you go see small pikin of say 4/5/6 go start to show their natural intelligence, you go take am sabi the child wey go be fast learner.

However, to learn dey good because it puts you in an opportunity to have an edge and of course having an edge get plenty advantages and benefit. If we dey learn and e dey difficult for us, we no need to give up if you believe in the benefit of that thing wey we dey learn.

One thing dey about learning and relearning and that na pride. We no need to use pride and miss to learn wetin we no sabi. Sometimes we fit learn something but we no really know that thing but one smally dey one corner wey sabi the thing wella, e no mean anything if we go meet the smally to learn better as we know say na for our benefit.
2446  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Weti You go do when Bitcoin Reach ATH? on: July 18, 2023, 08:32:04 AM

As for me, I go sell 99% of my investment and hodle 1% to enter the bear market again and continue the investment from there again, I will not empty the bitcoin wallet Bank. How you see am?

My brother I no go blame you if you say you go dump everything remain just 1% because if btc bear season do you something, you go sabi something. As the bull dey sweet na so d bear dey pain, oh.... This just remind Timaya song, as e dey pain Dem, e dey sweet us; where wike dey now self? abi him don get wetin him dey find for aso rock  Grin

Anyway, one thing with crypto be say you no fit no the ATH until price no reach there again for that halving season. Just like e happen for $64k mark, people still go dey expect say e go fly enter $100k. For 2017 too, the same thing happen around the December when the price begin come down after e reach 20k, people still dey buy Dem only know say na bull trap wey dem buy when price drop to $3,500. So e good say make we salivate say we go chop money from the btc wey we dey reserve for the bull next year but make we still try no leave our coins when we suppose dump. I know say many of us dey expect to get something from bull and me too go dump at the price wey I dey okay. At least 1 or 2 percentage be wetin I fit leave because bear season no bi person friend.

Before you consider marriage, you should have a solid source of income, which implies you can live on your own and are not dependent on anyone.

Solid source of income does not really matter. You can have something that you are doing and ready in your mind but not just solid source of income. Readiness also matters because it helps you to overcome different challenges that may come after in the future. This is the place of maturity. You have to be mature in mind, body and spirit before that and majority is not about age because some people are aged but are not able to take proper decision of their lives not to mention marriage.

What other reasons make women allow a man raise children that they know do not belong to them?


Financial incapability is a reason that this can happen. If the woman know that if she allow the babies real biological identify known that it will affect the training of the child including education, she might keep quiet to it and allow the man who has the financial capacity to train the child .

Hatred for the baby papa is another of the reasons. She may have given birth out of unreadiness to the father of the child but got married else where thereby having hatred for the man who is not aware of the child.

You can compare it to poker. Because in sports betting, you're not playing against the house. You play against the other sports bettors. Even if it doesn't look like it,
And yes, betting on football is actually my only income. I don't work alone either, we are a large team that has been doing nothing but analyzing the odds markets for almost 20 years. If you don't believe me, look how a Tony Bloom or a Matthew Benham got their fortune. It's possible, although of course it takes some discipline.

You talk with so much authority on relying on only sports betting especially football for your source of income. Can you say if you only rely on betting on it or you also run a pay group where subscribers pay some $ for you to have some feel of your goodies. But if you have been in the business for 20 years, I believe you could have known must of the bookies.
2450  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you handle borrowers? on: July 17, 2023, 05:25:21 PM

you will see people coming to borrow money from you with good smile and when you ask they pay back, they will start ignoring your calls and text. so have learnt never to borrow what i can not give away.


They say the face that people use while they want to borrow money is not the same face when the time comes for repayment. That ignoring of phone calls by debtors is a known fact. It is an obvious signal that the debtor is avoiding payment. Although sometimes it may be that the money for repayment is not ready but it suppose to be related to the creditor but out of shame, the debtor could be avoiding the call. At other times it might be an exit scam outrightly

If the price of BTC reach $40k next month will you sell? I know many people will not sell until the price reach $100k, which it will take a long years before such dream will come to pass. What is your opinion.

It depends on the purpose that a hodler is hodling the coin. If you want to sell on a short time and it reaches the price of $40k, it is a good time to sell but where you want to wait for the long hull during the bull then such price wouldn't be good for sell. $100k is not a long time going by the last bull run that it got to $64k. This time, the expectation is higher than before so I'm optimistic that $100k will be easily touch after 2024.
2452  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Equal society is possible.... on: July 17, 2023, 02:16:16 PM
As per law all Humans are equal. That is the law, regardless of skin color, gender, intelligence...
In praxis the situation is a laugh or should we say a tragedy of disregard of law. Per Law no moderator is allowed to delete a post. A equal can not delete another equal's post. Paternalism requires a court to act

No I don't think that in law that humans are equal. Karl Marx said it with the expectation and hope that if human society would operate as equal but we know that egalitarian society is not totally possible. In the bible it is also said that man is God to man and so if that is so , it means man will not be equal in certain circumstances. About law, it is human factors that made law to be created. Like Thomas Hobbes said that life will be brutish and nasty without law and punishment. Deleting your post is maybe because you have gone against the rule and law which can cause your post to be deleted.
2453  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is politics everyone's business? on: July 17, 2023, 12:38:45 PM

   So I ask, in your own opinion do you think politics should be the concern of every citizen.

Yes politics should be the concern of all because it is how to share the scarce resources of the community or state and so everyone should be a party to it. This is why some other jurisdiction it is referred to as democracy meaning it involves the people. Governance is the business of the people but the challenge is that the few intimidate others and take over "rulership " by corruption starting from the electioneering. This is why this time around there are some much wrong doing in politics and so many malpractice are implore to stop others.

Anyway, imo, the first step in recovery is to admit being an addict. Most addicts deny it and refuse to accept the truth that everyone else sees.

Self deniel is the worst addiction that someone can get into. If you refuse to accept you are addicted and keep pretending that your are okay then no one will come to your help because you are just as fine as them. The first way to getting help is to give an open hand to people that you need help. A drunk doesn't like to be called as that and just like gambling addict. Men like their ego to be fanned and protected, so before you know they are on the help stage you just know they are totally out of control of themselves.
2455  Economy / Gambling / Re: Whats happening with Betnomi? on: July 17, 2023, 07:51:50 AM

If indeed Betnomi wants to leave this business and they are not coming back they should come back to this forum to provide an explanation that can make their users calm down a bit, I'm sure their users are waiting for them to come back again and hope that happens. but I also hope that the users will not be disappointed if in the end betnomi will not come back and leave this business.

Coming back to the forum to make things right and settle off agrieved customers will be a good way to leave the business if they want to but I have hardly seen such happen if this is an exit scam. Betnomi has warn the trust of many here and I'm sure not many expected this to happen. It is still fishy that they would disappear without any sign of coming back because this is taking longer for a site maintenance.
2456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: July 16, 2023, 10:12:12 PM
So personally, I would never gamble all my Bitcoins just because my government has banned Bitcoin but I would hold them in a non-custodial wallet and keep them for as long as I can because maybe some day in the future, I get to use them somewhere that might benefit me in some way.

There is no sense in gambling all the funds inside our wallets just because the government are planning to ban bitcoin and the use of other cryptocurrency, if that is what the people are thinking, I don't doubt why they are losing frequently because they have that kind of mindset. We always have a choice even though our own government is banning the existence of bitcoin, we can still go back to the basic and gamble like nothing happened.

I believe those who just gamble all their bitcoin for the fear of government banning it in their country are all ignorant of how to store or save it for the future because if a current government ban it, succeeding government can change the ban and you start enjoying the increased btc value because the price will not be stable from what it is then .
2457  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: FG plans to give 8K to poor households. on: July 16, 2023, 09:38:47 PM
I actually expected more from the government, am sure they won't even pay.

The doubt for the way dem don make this palliative something be don dey high. Of course Nigeria phenomenon go still enter the whole thing because we fit still dey hear say Dem want pay while some don collect as e take happen for COVID-19 palliative. We dey in a precarious situation with the government distrust. I'm sure say this past election don open people eyes say the people wey dey always enter for government no be people wey we elect to enter office. I no see any sense wey dey for the palliative wey dem dey plan say dem want do while people suffer don increase.
2458  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bicycle fit be the game changer on: July 16, 2023, 05:47:51 PM

For my area now bicycle full street like this, atleast the bicycle go help else movements and save costs till when the fuel price go come down. Even me wey dey here sef if I get small money, I dey think of to buy one small bicycle too wey I go dey use till when the fuel price go come down, I can't come and kill myself....

Who dey talk of say when fuel price go drop abi come down. This one no possible again because I remember even from president Goodluck Jonathan time when him first say him remove fuel subsidy and price rich 145 naira and him readjust back to 96 naira or so and from then Buhari enter carry price go 150 naira and since then, we know how the price don fly reach. My broda no think am oo, I never hear say fuel price go come down. Abi you dey talk of deregulation? Hmmm, deregulation dey only bring price down when things dey in place like refinery etc but government refinery is not working so make you zero your mind out of that .

2460  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do you think MARK suspend peoples Facebook's accounts???? [Cyber crime] on: July 16, 2023, 01:38:05 PM
I won't be surprised if some Facebook account are suspended and more from other social media handles because of crime investigation. Some people have complained of being scammed on such platform and reported some account which have been flagged. Facebook is a centralized social media platform and I believe they will want to clean up the space so that the customers will have confident and rebuild trust with them so I'm not surprised with this.
