Another worry be say corruption full our anti graft agencies, imagine di chairman of EFCC being  detained for di crimes wey dem de fight, and dis no be di first time wey dem de arrest di head of di criminal agency. So if di heads de corrupt, wetin go happen to di entire body? My opinion be say if dem catch and prosecute any criminal, make dem make sure say di full weight of di law go apply for di punishment. No be say tomorrow we go see say nothing happen to di person, and e go give upcoming corrupt officials di morale to steal plenty money, bribe dem way out of punishment and walk free.

Na better water wey you still pure on top the conversation wey dey go on here. Regards to the full weight of the law, hmmm me I never know whether Nigeria don reach dat level to follow the law to the fullest oo. We don see many politicians wey been dey serve for prison wey dem later release becos one God father dey one place dey press button for him head. The efcc chaimo and Emefiele own go still die like that. We need institutions wey dey independent of government then we fit dey get things right.
2522  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: PROMOTING GENOTYPE AWARENESS:PROTECTING FUTURE GENERATIONS FROM SICKLE CELL on: July 11, 2023, 09:53:44 AM

Ignorance in the sense that many parents know nothing about genotype and as such, get married to each other and just start producing children.

This na one important point, ignorance and some no even send. Those people wey dey do backyard runs wey go just dey sleep around at any hidden opportunity for dark places because dem want to prove smartness fall in this category as dem no even get time for protection both boy and the girl, as we know birds of same feathers dey fly together. So before you know am belle don enter and some don enter marriage like that even deir parents no go send to investigate certain stuff.



Stubbornness/Selfishness in the sense that some of these parents know fully well that they ain’t compatible, yet they go ahead to get married and produce children all in the name of love or with the religion mindset that a miracle will happen and the genotype of their children will miraculously change.


This na another good point. Love with the hope say things like genotype go miraculous change based on the stories wey dem don hear. I no talk say miracle no dey because miracle no dey tire Jesus but we also need to help ourselves as human beings and if God add hand for us e go become grace.

Really, na now some of us don begin know say those days wey dem go born pikin wetin few years of birth the pikin don die and dem born another one the same thing go happen dem go come say na mamiwater pikin, abiku, ogbanje etc, hmmm na genotype issue the thing go be oo.

But I believe say the awareness don dey high now about the medical compatibility of spouces on like before because the rate of sickle cell (SS) people wey I dey see around don really reduce.
2523  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: I don reach the final decision on: July 11, 2023, 07:56:13 AM
OP, I am very happy on this decision of yours to put a stop on bounty and face the important purpose why the forum was created. Bounty is like you are chasing peanuts when you can just be patient to build up your account and yourself in the forum. From my own view,I can see that you only have ten merits...if you can abandon your account and register a new one to start learning with. This will be better because I guess that your account has been noticed by reputable and generous merit givers in the forum,this might slow your quick growth in the forum. Like you said,you have been here for a while a would be able to earn for merit easily if you register a new account. Just my own suggestion.

E no even matter say OP dey run bounty package, if him still dey put eyes for the main thing which for bitcoin yarns and make good contributions to the forum, him go still collect but if him no still feel comfortable as those bounty stuff dey him account, make him delete them but no be to go open new account because of that.

You fit delete those bounty stuff if bounty no dey help you. I know say for now nothing dey inside doing bounty now except those wey dey pay with usdt or listed coins wey dey come once in a while. However, e go pay you more if you leave bounty area.

The CMD was only comfortable with the male applicants and has no need for interview the female applicants when he has already seen the best qualities in the male applicants...


I think that is not how interview work. The interviewer looks biase in the attitude going by op post. He won't have to look down on the lady with the excuse of having gotten what he wanted from the male counterparts and only person interviewed according to you. I think the lady was not fairly treated, she was embarrassed and insulted in that act by the interviewer.
2525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 10, 2023, 09:11:36 PM

I have seen a lot of people who tried to use gambling as their source of income, some of them even had pretty big bankrolls, but at the end of the day, none of them succeeded and they lost everything they had eventually and started looking for other ways to earn money.

It is a mistake to have a big bankroll and only focus on gambling. The best would have been to diversify into other businesses whether online or offline because only a source of income doesn't give financial stability. In gambling, the tendency to keep playing after you lose the first time is very high because you want to regain what you have lost and if you start the chase you won't want to stop half way because you have already committed part of your bankroll on the chase as you keep losing. So it is quite tempting with big bankroll, if not careful, all will be used up with out winning.
2526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: July 10, 2023, 08:38:04 PM
Mostly, I use Bitcoin or USDT and sometimes I also use LTC because they have low transaction fees. It depends on what I have available at the moment. Additionally, it has been quite a while since I last used fiat for gambling. I prefer to gamble using my crypto as it's also quite easy to do. Whether I gamble with a stable coin or not doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm making a profit.

I don't feel the need to keep track of my losses and wins ratio because lately, I gamble purely for fun and I don't invest a lot of money into it.

we have the same approach here. whatever is available in my account, but mostly btc, that i use for my gambling. since i know how much i should spend for each session, i know how much btc i can use to gamble. if i know that i am going beyond the limit, i stop before i spend more than what i allocated for that moment.

I prefer to use the most popular cryptocurrency which is bitcoin. Maybe the reason is I'm already use to it in almost out of the other coins. Casinos never miss to add it to their payment system both deposit and withdrawal. Regards to stablecoin, I use usdt and for this, the charge is fixed probably on $1. So playing with these two , I'm comfortable.
2527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: July 10, 2023, 07:33:41 PM
Seeing it from a higher point of view, yes, a casino when it starts some appeals to capitalize with the money of its players, and that is a practice that seems very reckless to me, because when launching a casino they do not have enough money to endure certain losses, and as there are always whales that enter and play with a large amount of money, because sometimes there can be some cases where you can't do more, so there are many casinos that here in the forum appeal to that, they do badly but they don't declare bankruptcy, but they insist and then start with the withdrawal problems.


All these withdrawal problems and casinos going bankrupt can be checked if only bettors research on reputable casinos that have stayed a long time. Those that have license also is important because they would have gone through a registration requirements were there start up capital would have been investigated to see how much they can carry but before a casino goes down there are signs you could notice especially if there are series of backlog of awaiting withdrawal. Again, someone need to be careful with new casinos since they are barely starting, they might have nothing to lose if they don't pay big wins .
2528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 10, 2023, 06:33:05 PM
Those who were trying to collect bribe from the father did not miss him at all because theirs is not the skills but the money.

They won't be sorry for their action because for them, it is not to select those who have passion for the game but those who are willing to bribe their way into the team. Those FA members who do this perhaps have been trading football spots to others and they will keep doing that till that. This is why some players get rejected for being over aged. Just recently, it is in the news that Samuel Eto (Cameroonian FA president) Mirror is requesting the proper age for his players and 21 out of 30 players were found to be overaged

2529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 10, 2023, 03:54:07 PM

It is true that most gamblers who like to bet on their sports do not have extensive knowledge of the sport at stake and some gamblers are only fixated on the odds of the betting options.
Actually this provides a bigger risk but unfortunately no one cares about that and only thinks about the chances of winning.


Yeah sometimes bettors are forced to want to take the bull by its horn when they have consistently lost their bet especially with ridiculously lower odds. This is the reason that they throw in all to want to go for the big odds with minding the losing rate but only envisage how much they would win if the game turns into their favour. This is understandable if you have been or met a serial loser. However because gambling is a game of chance, people could also get lucky to win such big odds but it is better to play cool with the emotions to take a proper gambling decision based on analysis, checking prediction sites and compare other games played by other bettors.
2530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 10, 2023, 02:53:25 PM

There will be no bribery if the official won't accept bribes. But unfortunately, some are accepting such bribe because of greed.

The giver and taker of bribe is guilty of the offence. I think the laws should be implemented because that it is people will fear. When laws are implemented to the full, people's greed will reduce because when you remember how many years that you will stay in jail then to commit the crime will be discouraged. I believe every person has the greed tendency but either fear of shame when caught depending or the family background (that is ability to have self control) or the fear of punishment that will scare people from such.
2531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: July 10, 2023, 02:13:50 PM
Personally, it will change nothing because I have been gambling casually through online and land casino (depends on my mood) even before I met bitcoin. It's just that cryptocurrency gave me a whole lot of options when I'm betting towards online casinos, especially during Covid-19 as I have no other things to do at that time aside from my job that changed to a "work from home setting". So, if my government will ban btc, I will always go back to the use of fiat.
anyway all of that will never happen even though we don't know what will happen in the future but we always have the choice to still be able to gamble even though using fiat. almost everyone here, of course, before gambling at crypto casinos, they have already gambled at physical casinos or land casinos, so even if crypto is banned in a country, it can never limit them from stopping gambling because there are always ways to be able to gamble.

It won't be a problem for gambling or the gamblers where the government has ban cryptocurrency. Casinos have options of playing with fiat or crypto so if the option for crypto betting is stopped, you continue using your fiat to gamble. So they are different and one doesn't stop the other. If the government decides to stop cryptocurrency, then the use of fiat can serve just like offline casinos that use fiat in gambling.

Gambling is more important for crypto users?

But you didn't really explain this topic in the body of your post. I was thinking probably you wanted to do a comparison between gambling and crypto hodling or gamblers and crypto. The post is a little different from your topic from the way I view it. I just feel we could have something on that .
2533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is more important for crypto users? on: July 10, 2023, 12:13:51 PM
Can you explain me why i need to learned gambling?
No reason to learn it if you don't want to lose some and gain some

i have ideas about gambling, but I don't have the ability to spend money there.

No reason to ask if you have need to learn it then since you already have an idea. You don't have to gamble the money you can't afford to lose or better you stay away since you have an idea for a while and have not gathered the courage for it. The basic knowledge of luck in gambling you have to consider because no bet is guarantee for winning. Stay away or gamble what you have for profit or loss.


2534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: July 10, 2023, 10:45:39 AM
Usually, people who win in gambling but not able to cash out or save their winnings and I think this has something to do with a Healthy mindset.
If you do not have the intention to save the wealth, you will lose all your winnings by risking them again in another gambling bet.

Only a mentally strong person who has control over emotions and have money management skills would be the real winner here and will become rich eventually.
That same healthy mindset needs to be applied outside gambling as well because I remember watching a documentary about a lucky lottery winner, and it only took them at least a year to lose everything they've won from the lottery. In their case, they unnecessarily spent their winnings on luxury stuff and only started worrying about their finances once they've used all of it. Instead of hoping to become rich one day, we should strive to be financially stable.

It is only a few bettors who have won huge money that they ought to have used to be reasonable and build multiple investment and become financially stable that have taken that opportunity. Usually bettors believe that if they are able to win today then they will also win the next day or in the future but unfortunately they are not learning from people who have won in the past because it is not usually that possible. I don't know how true the usual saying that opportunity comes but once is but I have seen big winners who were suppose to turn their destiny around but today they are back in the street after lavishing very huge jackpot winnings.

He miss the country and the country also miss him. If he those not miss the country he wouldn't have visited the country, but the country really lost a very great talented player, the government should arrest the coach that was asking for money and he should be punished so that things like this wont happen in future again. coaches are suppose to build the team with the most talented players, and they shouldn't build the team due to the players that can pay them.

I think coming to Cameroon is to show support for the father's country to help do some charity work there, I don't think he regretted not playing for Cameroon but only explained why he didn't. Mbappe should be happy with himself I believe because even if he had parted with such money at that time, he may need to pay more at a certain stage if he wants to play in a bigger tournament for Cameroon. Moreover, it shows that the FA is not fair with their players and their judgement may have affected him in higher tournament selection but France didn't collect money from him and gave him the better rope to climb into stardom


the government should arrest the coach that was asking for money and he should be punished so that things like this wont happen in future again


A corrupt system doesn't go after offenders because they are all birds of same feathers. Even if they do out of pressure, the offender will bribe their way out. Corruption shows the rot going on in a system.

You can convert dollar to Naira but not the reverse. These people just dey try make this Naira strong in a wrong way. If we look that format well, na the koko be that, to make Naira strong no be by all these give money banana be the thing. If them do the right thing on to manufacturing sector, fix light, run refinery well, begin export, get reserve etc , you go see say na oyibo go dey change there dollar to naira take buy market from our hand. This things na small thing but them dey embezzle the money. Most countries wey don develop for our eyes like China, India, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea etc them don try and succeed.

The thing wey I just see about the dollar na this unification of price, if some politicians no still dey buy cheap from yonda .

In America, you can't be tried for the same crime twice.

Cool

It can be challenging to trust the court's decision when they incarcerate someone for a murder where no body was discovered. Without any concrete evidence to establish the death of the alleged victim, except for a case of mistaken identity involving a different corpse, it becomes difficult to accept the ruling.

The likely mind of the court is to hold her in custody for sometime just to fulfill the law for someone that murdered someone. The lawyer may remind the court that she has been imprisoned already for allegedly killing the same man where she served the full jail sentence for murder. I believe the court will free her since it is the same man that he went to jail on.
2538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: July 09, 2023, 06:53:52 PM

I am neutral about KYC since I believe our identities had already been in the government's hands right after when our mother submitted our birth certificates, and the moment we get our requirements in applying for a job.  Aside from that, most probably our government records had been breached, getting the citizen's data.

This is a different perspective to what you are saying. Government are handling their jurisdiction separate from others, so your government have your birthday certificate or your other credentials of origin from birth as a citizen or you natiralized their but that same government does not have the birth certificate or such credentials of other persons who are not their citizens. Hence with KYC on exchange, you have exposed yourself to global identification that any government can source for your identification if they want to through the exchange. I believe this is reason some people who don't want it try to avoid it. A KYC you do with binance as a centralised exchange, the government can go through such exchange to require it incase they want it.
2539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 09, 2023, 05:41:30 PM
This can happen if the team does not have a strong sponsor who can fund all the activities and training of the players on the team.

Corruption knows no bounds. It is just a selfish interest and self aggrandizement, nothing of such will be an excuse. Corruption takes any form whether sponsor or not. The case of Cameroon as reviewed by Mbappe's interview is sufficient. The national team of Cameroon won't lack such sponsor I believe because the government will provide all that was needed but few top officials will divert it into personal purse.
2540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 09, 2023, 04:38:02 PM
Cameroon lost Mbappe, in my humble opinion.  Specially since he became World famous because his role in the last world cup, facing Messi in Qatar.

I knew there was corruption within the football world, but I never imagined it could be as widespread to even affect selections and teams on adquiring talented players. I thought corruption was mostly present in high positions... Very unfortunate for developing countries where talented people live, like Brazil, Argentina, Cameroon, among others.

In the case of Brazil or Argentina which are also regarded as third world countries, theirs is still fair if they do such obnoxious stuff because they still perform better during world tournament. Maybe in there own case, most of the players are gifted and it doesn't affect them as such. Or maybe they have had issues of selection during tournament that they didn't perform to expectation.
