This time it will be hard for Nigerians to fine their way to abusing the new policy, most especially now that the only option open to both pos and individual bank users are subject to processing fees of up to 10% for transactions above the 20k limit.

This is not exactly true with your assumption. Nigeria has good laws but the implementation is the challenge. It takes political will to do that and that is not usually easy with the Nigerian system that is always running on favouritism and selective justice. This law may look good on the poor and masses but politicians will violate it without no punishment, so this is the issue and that will bring selective implementation.

Is there a chance SBF receives a minor slap on the wrist and short prison time. Or did his luck wear thin here, with him due to receive a more severe penalty?



No I don't think that luck will come to him. He should have known what the outcome will be when planning his agenda to use other people's money. The trick is of course old and nobody will fall for the unintentional plea for excuse on his offense. The court is suppose to get justice for the investors who were hopeful to benefit from their investment. He will either be investigated for hidden properties that will be used to offset the debt owed to investors or he goes in for prison.
3043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar world cup Final Predictions on: December 17, 2022, 05:19:02 PM

If Argentina loses tomorrow, it will favor Mbape, who will go down in history as the only player to have won two consecutive World Cups for France.

This is true for tomorrow's match because France won last world cup with Mbappe after beating Croatia 4-2 but Mbappe is not the only player in France that was in the squad of last world cup. Whichever way there will be history made tomorrow either from France or Argentina. Messi will surely be the happiest person on it if he won it. The records however favours Argentina to win having met three times, Argentina won twice

In a few hours, the match for the third place between Croatia and Morocco starts, but no one mention it  Grin
What are your predictions for this match?

Morocco is quite a strong team and Croatia is even stronger than them and Croatia played the final match of the last world cup  against France but unfortunately they lost but for the third place maybe Croatia will win this time Morocco might not have a chance to win. But I am not guaranteeing this prediction so we will know who is going to be the winner of today by watching the game after some time

We don't have to be surprised with the outcome of this third place with Croatia as the favourite and Morocco as the team that is looked down at. Remember even with the way Morocco didn't have the speculative chance, they got this far so whatever brought them this far is still going to be with them and that is that they are young, they play as team, has the best keeper of the tournament. I still believe that they can spring some surprises on Croatia today. Now the score is 1-1 at 17 minutes gone into the first half, lets see how they play out.

Therefore the onus is on you as an individual to develop your own method, manage risk, and adhere to the plan no matter what, all the while continuously growing and learning from your mistakes.

Don't follow pump and dump coins if you are planning to hold, this is a good way to be sure that you are steadily going to grow your coins and not the pump and dump coins that can crash you faster and increase your profit faster like wise. It is just between two devils to chose the better part.

Don't think of ICO in collaboration to whatever service because it failed and no more trust in it. People won't buy into it, nobody like to be fulled twice or many times. I also see that insecurity is becoming a big problem to the world and communities trying to secure themselves as government keep failing to maintain the primary aim of government, the security of life and property. Therefore, the demand for security guards and other aspects of security is in high demand like dogs. We have more increase in the rate that young men are going into the field of security guards and agents to recruit security personnel and export them to needed countries.

[quote author=blue Snow
Messi is the best player in the world he has brought his country to the final since he was there and now decides whether to be the winner or not but I saw in some media Argentina tina can win in new history this year.

He would like to crown all his effort with the cup at last and I see mercy really giving all it takes to get it. The Argentine team has grown from strength to strength from the group stage after losing their first match and since then Messi has not given up. This will happen to be his last world cup so he is expected to put his all since he won't have another chance to come back. On the French side, Mbappe is also the man to watch because the two of them are still going to be fighting on the highest goal scorer because they are both at 5 goals each. It is an equal match anyway but one team will finally be crowned and which team will that be will soon be discovered.

Big companies are already working like intermediaries to other countries agents like helping them to contract freelancers and other workers generally to work for them but the unfortunate thing there is they don't properly take care of them and their welfare. Making people are now based on side hustle but in illegal ways, some conceal contriband to transport outside.

My experience with this part of life is avoid making unnecessary mistake that will give you loses because lost money will never come back, it is gone and so it is gone forever. The money that you make in 7days is just a new money and the past belongs there in the past. Another lesson is to gamble according to what you can lose so that you don't feel regretful all the day.
3050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tipping during live slot, or casino games. on: December 14, 2022, 03:04:35 PM

Do you think it is necessary to give tips or it is just a tradition that is required?


The question of being necessary or not to tip a machine attendant at the casino is not the issue because if it is necessary then it must be in rules and regulations of the casino that a winner must have to tip the attendant like one or two of them, so I have not seen where it is said to be necessary, no no. But the reason people tip is natural that when you have won, you are excited to give out. Excitement works wonder in trying to make someone act differently from their usual way for example like being intoxicated. And to top it up, if you have won alot of money, you are excited and you can give even your "enemies"  Grin
3051  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat and crypto and stock is bs, but property is real on: December 14, 2022, 02:16:29 PM

When you buy into stock, you get snake oil, but promised it’s indeed a “business”, stock =/= business wake up. When you buy into property you indeed get the concrete box, you indeed get what you paid for, I don’t know what stock investor actually buying into, they tell me they’re buying a stock and it is a business, I try to fathom whatever they said, but stock is stock, business is business, you can’t mix something that’s totally different word by word, or context by context, or content by content, it’s snake oil and they’re buying into delusional snake oil and in the end they get thin air certificate that tell them they’re entitled to the business, it’s so funny investor are so gullible. But what is there to say, when I tell them, they’re scammed they don’t believe me and even being very hostile on me and call me retard, they think they’re getting the business when they buy the stock, what give?

You don't really understand what is stock and investing in it and the business involve in it. If you have an interest in a company and you want to be a part of it in partnership or some sort, you buy her shares or stock base on the unit you want and by that you have invested and has a contribution in the company as a share holder, that is the business in it and if the company makes profit and declares it, it is also shared to a holder as dividend. Also if a company is not doing well it affects the stocks just as a business that didn't make profit at a particular time. You need to read up on stocks.

Buying property is good is also business with its own risk. Natural disasters, flood or bad road networks among other factors can hamper a property not to develop faster if you buy a genuine property and not the one you get scammed on. All investment involves risk.
3052  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread on: December 14, 2022, 01:14:23 PM
I am not surprised that Argentina advanced, but I must admit that I expected a better game from Croatia. Croatia had a significant advantage in possession, but little came of this advantage. Coach Dalic's team couldn't create a good scoring opportunity. Any interception by Argentina, on the other hand, immediately created a threat in Croatia's goal. Congrats to Argentina for advancing and the Croats need to play better in the 3rd place match if they hope for a medal.

It was a total whitewash for Croatia yesterday. I didn't see any good play from Croatia from the first half of the game Argentina took possession of the game until around 34 minutes that the first goal came from Messi and within 5 minutes, the second came through Alvarez which they allowed him run the ball through them . It was a very weak defense from Croatia that was a very tough nut for Brazil at the quarter final. They only tried to play in the second half but then a more determined and confidence side took the game.
3053  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar world cup Final Predictions on: December 12, 2022, 09:28:24 PM
At the onset, I was actually rooting for protugal to get to the final, but apparently it is obvious that this world cup is full of surprises.  Who would have thought that morroco will be in the semi finals.

With the way it is going, I will predict Argentina and France for the final.
.
The surprise will still be on until the last semi final match will be played. It is a world cup with surprises and that is the beauty of this world cup unlike when the big teams and players will shine over the younger teams but now those teams are taking the centre stage and springing up surprises. Morocco is one of the teams that have displayed this readiness to shock any big team. Beating Spain and Portugal is not an thing, so what about seeing Morocco playing Croatia at the final and Morocco going ahead to win the world cup.
3054  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will The FED pivot? on: December 12, 2022, 07:40:37 PM
You have to remember the government’s overall goal is to inflict enough financial pain to get citizens on board with universal income. A soft landing doesn’t move towards that goal.

Some times I'm also forced to think this way when the government policy is always harsh on the people and they won't make things easy for the masses to benefit from but only to get increased income. The government concern more is how to increase there revenue and they make excuses for using it to finance government projects but we know that the amount that is embezzled is far greater than how much going into project. The outcome of the FED is to increase interest rate and that will cause more poverty.
3055  Economy / Economics / Re: Central Bank of Nigeria to limit cash withdrawals on: December 12, 2022, 06:48:39 PM
This cash withdrawal cap will actually have a positive impact on Nigeria's economic system. It will also enhance cashless policies, exposing many Nigerians to blockchain technology. Perhaps for this reason, the Nigerian government wanted to teach some of its citizens about blockchain technology and may have used this as a test to gauge public interest in it. Additionally, this policy will lessen money laundering and corruption in the nation.

Sorry bro. It is unfortunate that you have not really understood the Nigerian system. You are yet to know that policies are usually targeted against some people and not for the greater good of the whole people. Why is this policy coming at the tail end of this administration when election is just barely two months to be conducted? This is the question.

It is a selfish interest carried out at the wrong time. It is targeted for the political season and for whatever reason that they know better.

Only when the game occurs or is in progress can we assume or predict who will qualify for the finals. Nothing else can be said about it until then.

Even at the games being played you can not predict exactly or correctly what will happen like in Spain and Morocco game, Spain took the lead and only for Morocco to equalise by the late minutes of the game before dragging Spain into extra time. The matches of this world cup are very much unpredictable with what we have seen so far. The semi finals will not be different from the way the game have gone. France, Croatia, Argentina have all played in the finals of the world cup only Morocco is playing at the semi finals for the first time so I still expect surprises from them as they have nothing to lose, no ego to fan.
3057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread on: December 11, 2022, 09:36:46 PM
I'm really sad to see that England are out of the World Cup already now. I really believed in them to make it to the finale and I even bet on their championship at the end. It's still not coming home I'm afraid. They have a great squad full of talented players but they just can't make it. Kane's second penalty was really crucial for reviving their hopes. But it was such a bad shot going wide over the crossbar. Mbappe even laughed at it after the penalty.

It was a deserved win for France of course. They made a good effort. They didn't depend completely on Mbappe and this helped them stay solid as a team.

It was a well deserved winning for France and like everybody know that kane would have allowed other team mate to come for the kick but he went for it. Well I wasn't even expecting England to beat France. England have not had the opportunity to lift the world cup for a longtime despite the stars they come with to the world cup, so I'm not surprised that they are out of the world cup.
3058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2022 Discussion Thread on: December 11, 2022, 06:43:31 PM
I'm not sure about Argentina now honestly. Because Croatia have the potential to do the same thing they did to Brazil. They can just park the bus and defend Argentina players hard. Croatia manager knows what is coming for them so there is no meaning for them to play an offensive game. Their defensive tactics are already working for now. Argentina will need to break the lock of their defense as fast as possible. If they get unlucky just as Brazil when they find big chances, then they might be in big trouble.

Even a 1-0 score advantage might not be enough for Argentina here. Because we all saw how great Croatia answered Brazil in extra time. I hope Messi shows another delightful performance to make things easier for his team.
I really agree with you for Croatia and Argentina , I have full support on Croatia team. Croatia players are good, they will beat Argentina the way they beat Brazil. Croatia defense is strong that was why Brazil could not just penetrate to score.


Croatia is a strong side no doubt and are really likely to win Argentina. We should remember that they did very well at the last world cup in Russia and not much has changed from the team since then. They are a compact side from the last 4 years, they beat England 2-1 at the semi finals before losing to France 4-2 at the finals. So they have a very good record and coming to this stage is not something new for them and they are going to play with that confidence. They have been consistent and are going to put all resistance against Argentina after all they sent Brazil home.
3059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you experienced this kind of gambling on: December 11, 2022, 03:18:58 PM

These kinds of people are dreaming that they are betting so they extract their winning numbers on everything they see its like they are hallucinating in trying to see numbers and insist that these are their winning numbers, I also believe in signs they do happen but I never do this often I tend to rely on my analysis and when it comes to luck based games in a casino, I just go for what flashes in my mind, but if they enjoy doing these things then let them be.

It is probably relied on luck just like every other gamble that we do is luck based. To have seen such numbers and analysed them is based on same luck for them to appear at the result. If you look at the world cup you also see some matches and the result not as predicted with the odds assigned to them. This is likewise like the numbers can manifest and become winning games.

I'm sorry to say it, but I think that Ronaldo is the biggest culprit for the defeat of Portugal in the quarter-finals, because of his selfishness and the destruction of the unity of the team before the most important game of a great generation.

I see your point also. Right from his club Manchester United, he has not been of good character and inspiring to the team players threatening to leave and that also happened in his national team. If the coach decide to play him by the second half means the coach was not satisfied with his performance and that should make him change but he became a bad egg, leaving just immediately after the match was a sign. I hope Ronaldo won't end up badly with the press.
