In life, we all battling with uncertain behaviour, that one will wonder why certain characters occur when one needs a helping hand most. we are facing some difficulties in our communities and families, and the people you think will assist you to sort things out seems to be the ones to disappoint you.its seems to me that person don't value life, they shows concerns only when people  are celebrating and withdraw when things goes wrong. Such life should be discourage in the society.  We should not only show up when things are working, we should always stand in good and bad time.

That is how you know those who are sincerely rendering help to you, it is during your difficult moment. Those who run away from friends who are in need are bad friends and should be avoided when you get back on your feet. People should not pick their friends because they hang out with them at bars or casinos. Those places are full of people who bond over drinks and cigarettes and away from the real issues at hand. Another thing we have to learn here is that those who do that are hypocrites.

After thinking this through and through I started feeling like they are doing this to hold me responsible if something goes wrong.

Is my thoughts right? If you are in my shoes what will you do?

Act smart and do not fall for what they are asking you to do. They want to push the risk to you so that whatever negative outcome from the investment they will have you to blame. People are  scared of confronting life but are happy to enjoy its dividends. If success comes from it they will be happy, so why should they not also accept losses from it when it comes.

  • Excluded Boards: Meta, Reputation, Altcoin boards, Archival, Games and Rounds, Investor Based Games, Micro Earnings, Politics and Society, Gambling and Off-topic will not count. Posts in Ivory Tower and Serious discussion don't count as well

In other words only posts in Local board, Bitcoin Discussion, Trading, Beginners & Help, WO counts? It seems the guidelines have changed again because we had some of the excluded boards then included in the review like Meta and Reputation. I guess those two are central to this forum too because they let us know what happens within the forum. Should they not be reintroduced?
405  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: World Cup 2022 - Crypto.com sponser on: November 14, 2022, 03:52:20 AM
It seems nothing is going to be pumped this month, therefore the money invested on marketing, especially on major events like world cup, by crypto companies like crypto.com are going to be a waste. It's a pity they didn't match a precise timing between world cup and a positive season in crypto, but that is what reality is imposing to us at this time.

Do not conclude before the time that it is going to be a waste of funds advertising at the world cup because of the dump going on now. It is true that the market is down but there are some tokens that are still doing well. Look at TW token it is on high now while others are dumping. Now is not a bad time to advertise on cryptos, despite the bear season. Crypto.com is not wasting any money doing that at the world cup. This can infact turn out to be their best strategy that will later be emulated by others.
406  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Trump run again...and win?? on: November 13, 2022, 09:01:54 PM
He seems serious this time around and and is not camouflaging his intentions.

Donald Trump is calculative and he knows that most Americans regret pushing him out in the last election and that they want him back. He is a better choice than Biden as they have tested both men. Biden does not have the spark. He is an old man who is very reluctant to take action at the right time. That is one thing with old people. Taking chances with new things scare them. Trump looks set to run again and I believe he will it if he runs
407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ONE MAJOR LESSON LEARNT SO FAR THIS WEEK FROM THE CRYPTO MARKET 😥 on: November 13, 2022, 08:47:31 PM
To be honest i have not really learned anything from the happenings of the last few days, to be honest i don't really know what can be learned from it.

The dump was unexpected at a time we were hoping price will keep going up. Anyone who said they took profit before it dumped was very lucky to do that. Some people have accused the fight between Binance and FTX for being responsible for the dump going on now. Someone even said bitcoin will go down to $10,000. That will be bad if it happens. What I have learned this week from the market is to be vigilant and stay away from the market when there is news of fraud involving major exchanges or tokens. It has a way of affecting bitcoin price and the entire market capitalisation.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Man Won $51,000 in Sports Betting With a Bet of Just $1.072 on: November 13, 2022, 05:16:44 PM
Hoping that the man behind this will learn how to spend His winnings and not just to gamble it all again, this is so much value in that country and for sure , he will leave a millionaire for years if knows how to budget the money.

In Nigeria where the bettor comes from, that winning is huge and it is capable of changing the lives of many. How do people even win such a huge amount of cash with very small bets? Buying slightly above a dollar to win $50,100 is a one time in a chance something. But the problem is that the winner is likely to splash it on frivolities, on drinks and women. It is the usual thing with people who win jackpots. Nothing anyone tells him that will make him not spend on this things. Some of them will tell you it is once in a life time experience they want to have with all that cash.
409  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think Father's don't Love their children? on: November 13, 2022, 04:25:31 PM
What they don't understand is that a mother and father's type of love can be different, never inferior.
This is the answer. Women and men show their love differently. We can express our love better than most men can and it easily seen,

Correct. Women love mostly from their emotions. That is what makes the difference. And this is why men who show emotions in love are looked at as women. The society believes that men are not supposed to show love emotions or cry in public.

It is not true that husbands sacrifice because of love. Most husbands do not do all that you described because of love or that they are still in love with their wives. They do it out of responsibility and commitment to the institution called family.

A presidential candidate is required by law to participate in a US presidential debate, but this is not the case in Nigeria.

Why Nigeria no copy that one from USA? If na to steal money them go be expert for that one. All this crooks in politics want to make this country unbearable to live in and it will not work for them.

nobody cares, the are the organizers anyway.

Chairman, I care o. E good as Obi deh attend those debate. Initially I was annoyed and wanted him to stop since Mr shaky shaky Tinubu and Atiku no deh attend face to face. But now, if them like let them not attend, make Peter Obi continue.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do? on: November 12, 2022, 06:39:28 AM
I wouldn't advise for a brawl to breakout, but lessons learned from mistakes as this is one to either expose your friend in true light and for you to know what you can endure.
I would advice myself next time and follow my heart.

If anyone has a brawl with a friend because he lost a bet, it shows how immature he is. Friendship should not be traded for money no matter what happens. What if he had won the bet would he be quarrelling with his friend? No. The bettor should take responsibility for his loss and not put the blame on someone else. Adults take responsibility when things go bad and not trade blames.
412  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Were we just kids or have times changed? on: November 12, 2022, 05:09:42 AM
or have things become really bad and times changed that one million of our national currency does not have value as much as it used to have?

This is the answer. It is not because you looked at the amount with the eye of a kid. Things are now very bad with inflation making our local currency almost useless. Cost of living is very high that there is not much 1million can even buy in my country today. But elsewhere, maybe in the USA, Canada, England that 1million is a huge amount of money.
413  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: November 12, 2022, 04:45:17 AM
Is it constitutional for presidential candidates to attend a random town hall or debate hosted by a media individual or house? It is not; everyone has the right to decline such an invitation for their own safety; politics is a dirty game with a high rate of ambush and assassination; these men could be kidnapped or killed in the name of non-constitutional debate.

Na because na Nigeria where everybody deh do wetin them like. If na abroad, the candidate chances of winning the election go drop badly because the people go see am as an insult not to attend. Those presidential candidates know they can not try it outside this country. Tinubu and Atiku are scared of the media, nothing else. No be about their security because them get better security. They are empty headed and that is why they avoid simple debate. May God not allow any of those two rule this country because e go real hell.

I recall Sen. Ben Bruce with all his videos, attending all debates, winning election, and becoming one of the worst Senators representing Bayelsa state in his 8 years.

Omo na true, o. Where that twitter senator deh now self. The man just became irrelevant after he was not allowed to go back.
414  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Dealing with food waste on: November 11, 2022, 02:15:02 PM
Where I come from, throwing food away is very frowned upon. We prepare only as much food as we need; we put only as much on our plates as we'll eat; and if leftovers happen we eat it the next day.

It makes sense that way. Those who act like they should throw food away so as to act rich are ignorant of what life is all about. There are people who intentionally order for more than what they can eat just to show that they can afford it, and then only eat half of what they have ordered and leave the rest on the plae and leave. Whenever I come across people like that I laugh at their foolishness.
415  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Only Africans can develop Africa on: November 11, 2022, 01:46:07 PM
Africans should be always independent, whether economically or politically. Don't worry, they will do just fine.

Africa's problem is not that it is dependant on foreign countries economically or politically. Its problem is the corruption that continent has allowed to grow among its citizens. Corruption has killed Africa. It lives with us now and those at the leadership position are not willing to do anything about it. It even benefits them because there is nobody to call them to questioning. In my country, nobody takes any indictment of public office holders seriously because we know they will let them go once money exchanges hand. The legal system is so corrupt that criminals are let off the hook if they can offer bribe money to judges.
416  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is money for survival or luxury? on: November 11, 2022, 11:49:33 AM
That's why inflation is a terrifying thing for aging people.  

I guess someone like you will have alot of bitcoin and bitcoin is immune to inflation. It should be appreciating as times goes on. There is not much you should be worried about.

Money is for both survival and luxury. But survival comes first because one has to eat first before exhibiting themselves which is where luxury comes in. Survival makes up the three basic needs of man which includes food, shelter and clothing.
417  Economy / Economics / Re: Always ask bargain for prices never pay full specially now on: November 11, 2022, 06:21:03 AM
We are in a period of increasing recession expectations. In such periods, demand decreases in the markets and real buyers become stronger.

People will tell you that whatever decreases in demand during recession will not be food stuffs because people must eat whether the situation is fine or not. We get to find people on the streets begging for food, and nothing else. It is reasonable because everyone want to stay alive and if they do not have money for food, begging becomes an option for them. No one begs you on the streets for money to buy gadgets or cars but food. Food demand does not decrease.
418  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: November 11, 2022, 05:49:57 AM
I only used forum rank for first and second place. BTW, that was the only month we had two members with the same post count in first and second place. Isn't that a reasonable criterion?

What of if the two weh come first come be the same rank, wetin them go take differentiate them?

As for the discussion on reward, poll dun dey up as usual for everyone to cast their vote while staying anonymous. E belike people no wan contribute as e go belike dem be bad belle if dem no support the motion so to make things easier, make we see where the majority stand.

Am not sure na the reason of who them support go make them no vote there. After all shebi two people voted the shaky shaky hand man of agbado kingdom with poisoned holy communion. The thing go fit be say people no deh aware say poll deh up there. So e go good to they remind members from time to time like this weh you do am now. Thank you.

That N800+ per dollar weh them put for Emefiele head supposed enter N1k+ before next year. That man na the worst among past CBN governors. No be worst because of how the naira take fall yakata but because of how him take allow politicians dey use am. You can imagine a sitting governor of the central bank running for a political election as presido. The old man no get shame at all. Him be wetin we deh call agbaya oloriburuku.

Also how una go feel if we put small reward for this monthly stats so, like only the first position gets a reward? Like $10 or 10Merit or both kind of encouragement.

Your suggestion deh good. To prevent spamming weh fit enter am, the cash reward go deh cancelled. Make e bi only something like merit and the merit go be through post review. And the review no go be on just posts weh the person make for this thread. Infact make e no even concern posts here. But na who want to deh put the merit self since na only one merit source we get for here?
420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We Feel All The Emotions When We Gamble on: November 10, 2022, 02:18:26 PM
But feeling depressed is not good. Punters should look for means to gamble but avoid depression. This can be done with risking the amount you can lose and not think about it if lost but still feeling happy.

No matter how small the gamblers should gamble from the money he will not miss, when he loses he will still feel the loss. Money is the major thing that can mess up our emotions. And that is why we feel happy whenever we have more of it but sad when we are broke. It does not matter how small we place on bet. The mood change is even worse for beginner gamblers who think there is a short to making more.
