Network thing for naija depends on your location. Even people for the same village no dey receive same coverage either because dem dey far from their mask area or the house wey dem dey live get some obstruction wey make network no dey too touch there.

Although e still be like say wetin op talk get some meaning there for the network issues. Sometimes the network dey seize and the thing go dey make some people talk say maybe government don disconnect the network when them no want make people know wetin dem want do. Although this is not verified though .

Another thing wey we go look be say this NIN wahala self make some lines no dey go and you keep trying without knowing it has been disconnected by the service provider.

Solution generally na to still get all the lines incase you notice say one no dey give you wetin you want then you can change to another. Basically, having a 4G phone in naija you are good to go for now and people wey don already move to 5G don dey upgraded.

Confederation is good, e be like na the thing wey you dey try talk but how viable e dey for this country now be the thing. Na how many states go gree come together again to form the three big states wey you dey talk about. The middle belt go everly want to stay their own and moreover inside the middle belt some go still want dey away. So my brother, e choke.

Again, as e be say dem don carry pipe line take cross all the regions, na how dem go still do that part? Some region don dey dependent on oil even though they don't produce it, the matter plenty to discuss for Nigeria to stay as a confederation.
483  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Law of gravity no de apply for di prices of goods inside Nigeria on: March 05, 2024, 10:25:12 AM
e bin de get out of hand to reach about 2000 naira to 1 US dollar, but as e be now, di exchange rate don drop to approximately 1400 naira to 1 US dollar.


Price now at 1,573 per dollar. Make we no dey play, dem never get am right until they do, it will keep fluctuating higher.


If CBN put dem acts together and we come begin to see naira appreciation, meaning say our currency go begin gain value, dat one go be good news for most Nigerians.


How funny wey CBN people dey. Dey are using money to pursue money, na more inflation na. If dem like make dem dey sell dollar direct to BDS people, it doesn't stop exchange rate to dey favour dollar because of demand and supply. The demand for dollar dey high so it will keep making more naira to chase for few dollars available. People need to import stuff and dem need dollar to do that. If government no begin do electricity then production will still be no where.


How di naira to dollar matter take concern dis thread be say, normal normal if any currency begin appreciate, e suppose cause di prices of goods and services to de come down. But with my experience for dis country as a Nigerian, anytime wey prices go up, e no de fit to come down, even if di price go come down na insignificant money dem go comot. So if naira continue to appreciate, you think say e go make prices of goods to de reduce?

But if dollar reduce and fuel, diesel, gas price wey get direct effect on majority of the local business people wey no need dollar to operate no go down then price won't go down. People dey sell old stock for new price and dem go tell you say dem no go fit buy new market when dem go market. So petroleum price need to drop before local businesses go justifiably go down.
484  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The higher numbers of alt coin on: March 05, 2024, 08:38:34 AM
My country people, ona good morning, today I wan talk about alt coin and the rate  at which e dy increase in numbers everyday, and we all know that almost all of them na scam.

Well you get point for there regards say altcoins na altcoins but no be all be scam but the thing be say person need to dey careful and DYOR so that you go take the blame and regret by yourself incase say anything go wrong. No doubt say some altcoins too dey wey go do well for this bull season both old altcoins and new ones but na make person fit sabi the one wey go blow.  One thing for sure be say altcoins too go follow for cash out this season with the way things don begin happen, like I don see some dey already dey waka follow btc like dogecoin (not a financial advise anyway) but then some altcoins too go come market as dem no really put body for the market last bull run.


 especially to our newbie leave alt coin alone and invest only on Bitcoin to be at the safer side.


Yeah because dem be green horn and dem never sabi wetin dey sup, dem fit just hang on with the popular coins for now. It is risky to just dey buy coin because dem cheap because when hodlers go pull the rug dem no go know and the coin go become useless with dem.
485  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Communication as part of life in the society on: March 04, 2024, 04:14:35 PM
Communication skills is essential to express what you actually have in your mind to the people who you want to express it can be anyone like in an interview you need to express what you are capable of even if you're equipped with everything that needed for you to be recruited. You need communication skills to convey everything to your life partner and the list goes on and on...
Communication is important in all aspects in life, even with relationships with people,  sometimes when you don't express your self about an issue some other person may take it personal differentl. It is always important to communicate,  to let people know your intentions. The necessary things people needs to know about I don't think their is no need for you to keep it in you.

Everything depends on the individual's preference, if they think something is worth to share with that person then it is important to express what their intentions behind their actions or they no need to explain anything at all cause sometime explaining everything to everyone is just waste of your time and it is an unnecessary thing to do as well.

Quite alright but there are times you can skip some communication when you see that disclosing such information will lead you into having discouragement towards the right action that you are suppose to take. For example if someone is severely sick and you are waiting for a third party to give approval before that person is taken to hospital, you see that that communication is really not needed because you are suppose to take a sick person to the hospital first before taking other considerations of finance or something to that nature.

Even in security purposes, it is not all that the intelligence gather that they share to certain members of their group. They keep certain information secret so that it will not be disclosed to the public. Even in house hold, if you observe that disclosing certain information would cause more havoc than peace, some people will keep quiet on that and allow peace to reign.
486  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Look presentable so opportunities would come your way. on: March 04, 2024, 02:41:53 PM

 As a young man you don’t have to be  caught unfresh, that will drop your swag, and this may lead to low self esteem and even lack of confidence.  Opportunities may even come your way simply because of how you dress and how well you’re able to rep yourself, this is the simplest task but most important part facing the real world. It really pays when you invest in yourself.
 

This is quite true. Sometimes in a gathering or meeting, you may have an executive in your midst that you have been dreaming of giving your business card to but if you are not well dressed and confident of yourself, that may discouraged you from doing that contract chase which may be the end of the opportunity to see that particular personality maybe for a long time. So it is a good advise to look smart and good because you don't know the opportunity you are seeking for that you may get on a platter of gold but because you are looking unpresentable you may not want to put yourself in the public.

In an occasion for example, those who are well dressed and looking nice won't have to be scared that they are not going to be accepted in the public, they go around confidently because they want to be noticed, when you are not neatly dressed, it doesn't give you that aura of confidence, especially you have to smell nice with good mouth breath. It is very offensive if the mouth is not properly taken care of  Grin

OP, what happened to you is nothing strange to me, as it has happened to me several times,but what I come to notice is that, when we go for a cash out without any profit on it, it means that you have used the money that you cannot afford to lose, and that was why you were unable to wait for the matches to be over to know your fate.
 

There is also a place of emotional stability to this along side experience. An inexperienced gambler will not be able to wait to see what happens whether they have bet with money they can afford or not, they would cash out when it comes, the most reason for this is fear to lose and anxiety for not knowing what to do and so they want to end it by going the cash out way then waiting for another opportunity to win but such opportunity may take a longer time to achieve. However, One can use cash out because that is what is made for but no need to express regret when it turns out it would have been to the player's favour.
488  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you want slave? on: March 04, 2024, 11:36:34 AM

I think that one worthy dream is to try that you children are not to be in the same situation. This has a lot to do with gaining financial freedom for them.

In this present time I think there are different opportunities that can help someone live above his family status especially those from poor and average family. The internet has become a platform for different investment opportunity for anyone to take advantage of without limitation. The only limitation that I see is the one created by the individual himself and that is through procrastination and not having the vision for the future.

The future is always in our hands now unlike there were opportunities in the past. In few months back, Bitcoin was still below $30,000 but some left their money in fiat form and kept in the bank allowing the bank make use of that money by lending to people who have vision to invest while they charge interest on their money but send the owner of the saved money debit alert for account maintenance  Grin Is that not appalling?

People have moved on from saving in fiat but to hodl in btc or other crypto for margin profit and just about now the price of btc is $64k while altcoins are also increasing. This is life changing for the visioneers who have seen the possible bull run during this season of halving to invest to get away from the limitation of financial freedom.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com - unethical practices on limitting losing players on: March 04, 2024, 10:43:14 AM

I understand limiting winners but doing this to someone who's lost a lot feels wrong.


If there is a rule that limits winners as they are winning then try to keep winning so that you won't see anything wrong with that rule because you will be in good mood and take it as fun since your balance is increasing with your winning profit  You are seeing it to be against you now or wrong to you because you want to be allowed more playing time to play probably you think you will win back your losses but don't always believe luck is like that.

With this, if casino has such rule then it won't have to respect any player on it rule to bend on it against others because some other people would have passed through that rule but they moved on.

Therefore, give yourself time and play by the rules of the casino. Don't believe in your self that something has been done wrong to you because you have been a casino customer for some time. Casinos have there rules that they expect all players to know about and you can know that when you read and digest it so that you know before hand how to handle those rules or you will know immediately when that limitation happen to your account.

I think that is a way to caution a player on losing control of their gambling. That casino limit a player that is winning is understandable but if that is the rule that reaching a particular playing time deserve that the account will be limited for such time, it is unfortunate that it happened to you but it is for the purpose of helping the gambler to take a break and control their gambling speed.
490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler on: March 04, 2024, 08:19:27 AM

i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.

One thing about gambling like they say is that it is luck base. I don't regret certain actions that is taken about gambling. That which you are regretting might have turned out that you will lose all of the money you staked with but however, it is better to also follow the slogan of betting what you can afford to lose so that when you lose it you won't regret it. For example this is another twist to it, if you had left the money with that feeling of whatever the outcome will be then you will be satisfied because you have bet with an amount you want to forfeit, then perhaps you would have left it and that outcome would have favoured you.
491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 04, 2024, 06:49:47 AM
Well the instant results which is the peculiar style with casino makes it intriguing and makes your pulse rise, maybe that is why I may also want it because it looks like more fun like the visual soccer too. The sports game actually looks like betting where you stake and have some time for the results to accumulate after the games especially for multiple betting.

I like the sports kind more especially football that gives you time to analyze the games and you get more knowledge of what is happening in the game of football and soccer at large. Sports gives you the opportunity to be able to know the game and you can develop a skill from the game like being a sports analysts. I have heard stories of gamblers becoming football analysts.
492  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 03, 2024, 10:06:21 PM

Am not saying saving isn't good, but my point is saving doesn't make one wealthy, the worst advice we recieve is  'save for tomorrow' but only few lay emphasis on the need to 'invest for tomorrow'.


Yeah not much have been said about the saving for tomorrow because quite a number of people accepted it that way and also tried to save that way. In fact back then you are valued according to how much you have in a bank but not anymore. I think the phrase should be invest for the future because every thing is now on the fast lane especially the value of fiat which is no longer having average profit when you keep it in the bank because of inflation.

The bet is to let your money stay in cryptocurrency because it is has that increasing value from time to time and yet retain your number of unit in the coin. For example currently the price of bitcoin is rising and that means whoever is having whatever quantity in his wallet, it will be experiencing a lot of increase at the moment until this season comes and go. This is the experience with having to convert your savings into crypto and hodl rather than leaving it with the bank that uses the money for business and don't pay customers better percentage as they make use of their funds.

So currently, keeping money in cryptocurrency is more profiting than leaving it in fiat as savings.
493  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: My Response to a Foreigner on Expatriates: (Nigerian Graaduates are not Valued) on: March 03, 2024, 08:22:33 PM

End!

So how una see my response?


My brother your response good. It is good to see how some Nigerians dey still try to defend our country but I sabi say the defending don still tire some people to dey do because of how the country don take be. Kudos for your analogy on the expatriate and Nigerian story and also as you take let the guy know say guys still dey wey be professionals and experts here but men... Naija government no dey like go right, dem dey do left left things and embezzle money den things go just dey as e be.

For the expatriate wey dey less qualified compared to our Nigerian brother, my brother we no know whether na part of the companies scope say dem go always get oyibo person for the company, and some company dey like follow wetin their competitors for the business dey do. Maybe dem get counterpart wey dey still use expatriate for their company.

So that aspect wey dem carry out naija brother take dey teach who go replace him, that fit still be dat search for cheap labour. E fit be say dem no go fit pay the expert expatriate for that area wey make dem step down to pick someone with little experience to be coached by person he has come to replace.

Quite unfortunate anyway but the bulk of the blame go to the government for not putting plans to grow the economy and stop neocolonialism.
494  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Reps summon Binance boss over alleged terrorism financing, others on: March 03, 2024, 07:00:20 PM
Na regulation wey everything dey waka go. Apart from say if binance begin pay tax say dem go still carry am enter their pocket, I no sure say binance go allow dem drag dem enter inside the terrorism matter. In fact, government no go succeed for dat. Na today we don dey hear say pepo dey sponsor terrorism for naija? How many of dem don dey prosecuted? Even people in government self don get the allegation of sponsoring boko haram, abi shey boko haram too no dey for terrorist organisations with the offense and attrocities wey dem don commit ontop the Nigeria people and society or abi na as Nigerian government dey play politics from labelling dem as terrorist? So people in government self don get such allegation and yet government still carry dem join body.

In fact, I go like see how all there terrorism allegation on binance go go. Of course na just make dem dey spread wings where dem no fit fly reach.
495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Unusual Story that Reflects the Current Gambling Addiction Reality on: March 03, 2024, 06:22:46 PM

I knew a son who drunken for the funeral of his father that's the most cruel thing that I ever watched but never know how is it possible for someone to gamble with the money that is offered as charity for your loved ones treatment.

It is very possible to use charity money for gambling just like someone will use up money kept in his custody and start to give excuse on it or reason while some won't give any reason for their action but will disappear into tin air, so it is very possible my friend.

The cause of such leading to gambling with charity money or money meant for someone's health bill is addiction. Gamblers that are addicted have inching fingers to use up any money with them especially when they are losing. In fact, being in debt has been a phenomenal known with addict gamblers and people tend to avoid keeping money in their custody. This is a realistic findings that has been attached to addict gamblers, so it won't be a ruse if money for health bill is used to gamble because at such point, they are only thinking of profiting to replace the money but unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.
496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Work Now May Not Work Tomorrow on: March 03, 2024, 05:05:41 PM

I told him that the house edge plays out and since this is luck based game what works now may not work tomorrow every day is a new session with new patterns

How about you have you at one time of your gambling experience experienced finding patterns that you think are effective and consistent only to find out later after several days that it's not working anymore..

And are you still looking for patterns that you think will work in the long run for you.


Some people I know have tried finding such pattern with visual soccer but they have not been able to do that consistently, they only get it right few times but at other times they fail and continue failing but they don't give up on the search because it appears to be easy to follow as they feel it is programmed but it is not easy to do.

Following a pattern isn't possible all the time because a luck based game is always what you will have a guess on and to depend is going to be a waste of time. In visual soccer for example, a new gambler on it usually has that zeal to want to master the games but they are alot of seasons and tournament put together that makes it different and difficult to find a pattern in it. Gambling is a luck based game so no need trying to find a pattern because programmers won't allow that loop hole neither would casino owners be in business if patterns are easy to be traced and identified.
497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery ticket sports bets on: March 03, 2024, 04:24:47 PM
Anyway, multiple bets have a general characteristics and that is the possibility of losing is high because of the different games that must be successful according to the option of your stake on them independently. Another characteristics is that it can be a money multiplier if you win it also because of the accumulation of those games. So basically, a gambler should know those before going for multiple bet, it characteristics are almost the same in all casino that allows it. Nothing is different with that of stake. However, I prefer single bet because it brings you nearer to winning your bet as soon as you win those few games on your bet, although it takes high staking power to be able to winning something reasonable.



To give an example of why and how that can be interesting:
If you find 25 matches with odds 1.74, then that means your total multiplier would be 1.74^25 which would be above 1 mil. You can bet with as little as 5 cents and if you come true to all of your predictions earn more than $50k.


I think after the calculation of the odds of the individual games together then you get the total odds together and from the odd you know how much you want to aim or target using your staking power. If you multiply the total odds and how much you want to stake then you arrive at potential winning amount. Example 1.74 x 25 = 43.5 odds x 5 cents.

Part of the knowledge here is that this is still an online platform and you can still get into the wrong hand or platform through signing up with them, so be careful.

Another of it is not to invest on coins yet to be listed because at the end of the day they may not list but exit with your money. Wait for a coin to be listed and buy from the exchange.

A lesson again is not focusing on bounty because at the end it may turn out to be a waste of time for you despite how many months or weeks that you were involved with it. So life is a lesson.
499  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Work & work & work until you begin to break, is there no way out? on: March 02, 2024, 04:53:24 PM

I hate to say this, folks won't stop working, won't stop the trajectory, won't stop the line goes up, won't stop the performance trajectory, folks begin to overdose drug to increase efficiency,


If you don't have the privilege to take breaks just like most of people then we have no other choice, economic stability is important too for an average person. They can't afford to take breaks from the job because there will always be someone waiting for that spot to get replaced so if you take breaks then you need to start all over again and again that is not smart.

In a sane society, breaks are not negotiable because they understand what it means to rest. Resting releases you of so many things that would have caused health issues and this is the reason that standard companies allows their workers for leave from work, they organise retreat etc. The body needs rest to avoid breakdown especially for people who are of age.

However, some workers don't value to rest as they exchange their rest time for money and they keep labouring their body all because of additional money.

Call in sick for a couple of days then its okay but a break means for a while like a month then it won't be accepted in any companies unless you are really crucial resource for the company's future then they will give you a break with the pay but not every employee has that kind of golden ticket and they need to find a better work-life balance to handle their day to day strewss.



Breaks are always there when you talk of in a sane country and that was why I used in a sane society earlier. Even AI needs some care after a while for them not to totally break down likewise human beings. So countries give time for their work force to go on break except the worker decides to sell of his or her liberty for break because they want more money otherwise there is time for break as the body needs some rest from time to time, so as to get back to work efficiently. If that is not observed, someone can have some health attack suddenly and it will be very severe because of accumulation of failing health situation that has gone untreated.
500  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Another alternative on: March 02, 2024, 04:04:31 PM
OP This is one alternative to continuing trading on Binance, but I would rather take my coins out of Binance until the whole issue has been solved. Currently, i cannot take the risk of leaving my investment in Binance. Since the government still has some queries against them and more may come, of which we may not be aware,. So to be on the safer side, it is best to avoid Binance for now and find other centralised exchanges that offer the same services as Binance. This is my own opinion.

Despite the challenges that binance is going through with the Nigerian government, they won't shutdown their exchange and exit like that, they are not callous to do that and that will be the height of wickedness, you too check am now? Dem no go shutdown with your coins oo, dat no go make sense to dem and for the crypto community globally, so dem must announce am and give Nigerians time to come their coins from their exchange and that is reasonable thing to do. However, but is good if you dey fear to carry your coin comot there if you no get mind but for now na the P2P dem disable because of the way naija government dey think say na trading on binance make naira dey depreciate, story for the gods.

Make dey no go find how dem go carry dey provide electricity like governor Alex Chioma Otti don show himself with electrifying Aba town and gradually him go enter more town for Abia state. Na those things wey federal government suppose dey work towards and not to dey look at youths wey dey manage survive for this hard country. Make them no worry make people begin patronize other centralised exchanges like   then we see whether them go still deactivate their P2P.
