I'm writing this to those people that are very good at saying "i will buy bitcoin next year, i will be more active in the forum from next year, i will do this and I will do that.

The next year is finally here oh! How e de be? Abi make we wait for another next year?

One thing about us is that we tend to enjoy shifting everything to the future as if their is something too special about the future. If you cant start doing it now, chances are that you wouldn't be able to do it in the next ten years. The key is to buy even if it is the least amount of Satoshi so it would be that you are working on increasing the amount your are accumulating and not still thinking on making your first purchase.

it's already 3rd of January and like play like play e go shock you how far the year go fly and how so many things fit change within a twinkle of an eye.

My friend de always say its better to have a certificate you do not need than being in need of a certificate you do not have.  

buy and hodl BTC now so you won't speak the motivation talk of " if like say I been buy am that time I for be big boy by now"

It has become a part of us to always favour those related to us more than any other person when we are in the position of power and if you are in the position to employ people and you refuse putting your people first, you would be termed foolish.

The phrase you want to please others and displease yourself is not strange to us because it was assumed that former president goodluck Jonathan was not considering his people first while making all his policies and could not even influence a meaningful project to his home town.

For me, their is always a time when the concept of man know man should be applied because everybody want to employ someone that will give them peace of mind and that will be loyal to them but I guess the emphasis should be on how best we can regulate it such that the best brain are not left stranded because some of them are not affiliated with any rich individual.

Their was a time I sort for admission in a vocational center that was situated in a community, they made it that after everyone writes the entrance examination, regardless of what you'll score, the ratio of those getting admired would be 70% from the host community, 20% from the state and the remaining 10% can come from outside state. Although the ratio has a huge gap, if it was moderated, it would be okay because after considering the indigen, others would still have the benefit of being a part of the programme but the negative part would still be that some of the qualified persons that are not indigenous people would miss out on the admission.

What I'm saying in essence is that man no man will still exist but let's understand that the best brains are also their in the society and we need to also use that as a serious index when carrying out any employment process.

One funny thing here is that no one will want to employ a relative that is incompetent in his private firm over an outsider that can burst the business positively.

 Na most for public or government firms this man no man something de serious and na for position when no go affect the company like that na him de fit use this method take person if not how you wan go take person when no sabi shit to run your business when you start with your hard earned money just because he his your relative. you reason am na

i don't think that the word"addiction" has a place in anything call investment. Addiction is majorly applicable in cases where you are uncontrollably performing an act that has the tendency of ruing you in the future.

The amount of Bitcoin you açcumilate is basically dependent on your reserve funds and Its just like saving a particular portion of your money in the first bank, would you term thatt to be addicive?

is their anything like privacy on the internet? Just do your thing and live your life without being bothered on what on what your data is being used for because the reality is that your data is no safe and the exploitation is increasing at an alarming rate with no one saying anything about it or planning how to stop or reduce it.

If we start to talk about the the rate of intrusion into our privacy, you will even get tired of using your phone. Their are some that believe that your camera takes regular picture of you on a regular bases while you're using your phone, are you talking about the recommendation you get as Facebook ad that comes from the private conversation you had with someone in your chat? I have never considered my data safe no matter if I deleted it or not.

true! Their are so many countries praying that the price of dollar should even loose more value because their currency has a value that's real shit and is literally 0.00005 of a dollar. Lucky for my country, it's value has always been between the range of 0.01:1 dollar which makes people that earn in dollar to always wish that the price of dollar would go high while the ones that are into importation and praying for the price of dollar to come down.

Unlike the volatile nature of btc that brings joy to all holders ones it value goes up, it's not same with the dollar because let's assume a dollar is around 10,000 of your local currency, would you pray for your currency to gain value it for dollar to gain value if you're earning in dollar?

It's more of how much Bill Gate believed in the fact that the internet would become a reality and that it would have a global audience using it with time regardless of whatever opposition or trolling he received from the media. Now that the internet has become a must use for all thee media platform, would they refuse using it because they trolled it?

Same Is what is happening with bitcoin adoption around the globe. The fact that so many persons and nations have become so used to the fiat currency and the general banking system, they would feel that its not going to be a reality but with the increasing number of nations already accepting bitcoin in their country, it might only take few giant nations to accept it and some key persons to see the positive side of it and bring it to the audience and in no time it would become a global reality.

mehn, to be honest, a lot of us have been careless with our security because we've not had a first-hand experience where our gadget was stolen and all our funds taken from us within a twinkle of an eye.

Even if you've lost your sim pack and might be afraid that if your sim is blocked, you might not have access to you puck code, understand that it's cheaper to unlock your sim from a service providers office than recovering a stolen fund from the bank. From the record and if I'm not wrong, I have not seen anyone that has recovered his stolen money ones there account has been hacked into. And since it's actually a mobile banking where most of them don't even have a physical location, it would be confusing and frustrating to even know the steps to take if you fall a victim.

Make your financial security your primary responsibility.

Money no de easy to get and make nobody come take the small one when you don try gather o

no mater how unhealthy my health condition is, no amount of money will increase my blood pressure to be serious.

I even want the money so I will see my health condition . but for those that are having health issue and easily get moved by things, it's best you put out modalities on ground to protect yourself from event as this so you won't die because you won an amount of money that is supposed to bless your life.

But I feel that you can just tell yourself that no amount of money is too big or small to be yours and this will help you when the money finally comes so it won't seem as a big deal.

to be very honest, this is one of those years I haven't written anything down but I have a whole bunch of plans on the things I will accomplish before the year runs out. I understand that it's not just about writing out things I would stop doing or start doing and after sometimes I become unable to doing them and so I just want everything to flow by itself while I work and give it my all in whatever I do during the year.

I have written loads of new year resolution in the past and if I am being real with myself, I will say that I haven't met up with most of them and I feel I should just allow things fall into place by itself this time around and let's see how things goes on but if i need to pen some stuff down it would definitely be that my resolution for the year would be to
Grow! Grow! Grow!

Just growing and improving in all the things and doing and of course work more on becoming more financially stable.

wow!
And I had plans of changing the phone I logged my wallet into and get a new one, I don't know if this would also affect my previous holding.

Well, I will keep holding it and ensure that my seed phrase is intact but this case you just highlighted is something to be worried about because we can't tell what can happen to our gadget in the long run and if we can't recover out coin after we change out gadget or misplace it like your case, then it wouldn't be a good one to be really honest.

I would be looking out for an alternative way of supporting those creating an engaging topic on the board that might not be merited yet.

Like, setting up a default system that can automatically merit a conversation that has up to an 100 replies with say 5 to 10 merit.

And also considering give provision for a voice note mostly in the local board. Their are some replies you will want to drop that it would be better to pass it verbally to express it weight.

when you say "essay", it depends on what you mean. If it's just because of the length of the writeup, I doubt that's a problem to be worried about.

If I have an opinion to share and would need to make it detailed so the person reading it can understand what I'm saying, then I can't reduce the length of my writeup and make less meaning out of what I'm saying just because I don't want to be seen to be making a lengthy post.

The only problem what writing a lengthy writeup is with regard to those people that spam the forum with unnecessary post that is difficult to understand but is at the same time lengthy and they will post multiple of it at different boards in the forum

In times of war, as long as your nation or environment is directly affected, even if the price of bitcoin goes up, it wouldn't make much sense to you because their would be more issues to tackle at hand and I doubt that the price of bitcoin would be one of them.

While considering the numerous cases of wars around the world, we can't cease to think that a possible world war can break out, if it does happen, then it would definitely involve more than sic countries and it would be a devastating situation that I would rather not imagine in the first place.

If you've followed the recent Rusia-Ukraine war and the Israeli-Palestinian war and look at it effect on the citizens, you would know that if you're faced with such crisis, your business, investment, carrier or what have you would not even be of any concern to you because the trauma itself is unimaginable and i only wish and pray their wouldn't be a world war.

the question you should ask yourself is, how much of my monthly income can I invest into bitcoin that will give me rest of mind for a stipulated period of time?

If you're able to answer that question, then you will make the best investment choice ever. I understand that the hype could be very encouraging while the recent downside volatility bitcoin has experienced might seem a bit discouraging but you've got to just invest an amount that you can leave for a while and keep doing your job while you do a regular check on the market ones in a while to know the change in the price of btc.

thats what's called the nija effect.

God specially created us to face challenge and always come out as victors and this mentality na wetin de push us to do too well for every sector when we find ourselves.

Even with the negative reputation when we get as it concerns some of our people that have gone into fraudulent activities, the good ones are still doing so well and are representing the country positively at different sectors.

Where we want even de talk about? Na sport when osimehn de give them back to back?
Na entertainment when men mount everywhere?
Na academics?
Tech nkor?

Nija na big name when I de proud of on a normal.

are they going to sue individuals for obeying the sanction placed on them by their authorities or they are suing the government for placing a sanction on them that has affected their business negatively?

Every national has the right to make decisions that they feel will protect her citizens and this might include sanction as this and I doubt that the threat to make any sue is a realistic one since ad most nations won't even give an f to it.

It's not just to write out goals every year, you need to know what you want out of life and start doing it without waiting for the beginning of a year when you will make bunch of resolutions and set unrealistic goals that you won't be able to follow it up within the next two months.

The new year should be used for improvement and doing personal assessment to see if you are doing the right thing or not, don't use goals and regulation to tie yourself up not to experiencing the loads of possibilities that awaits you.

Sometimes it's even best way pray for God to help us fulfil the plan he has prepared for us in the year. No go de write wetin you no go fit keep.

We know say an average nija man get two place of residence, one na the place when him de stay carry out him hustle and the other one na the village when him come out from and as e de normally be, most persons de put in the effort to ensure say them try live comfortable for their hustling ground and still set up some structure for vila so that them fit live well whenever they visit home for a season as this.

But when it comes to which of the place of residence one should invest much attention into, there seems to be some sort of difference in view because while some persons think that it's necessary that we make the hustling ground as comfortable as possible by investing hugely in getting a comfortable accommodation and giving it the best interiors, others would prefer to stay in a one bedroom apartment while they are building mansion in the village.

The thing is that we don't stay more than say a week in the village most times and we spend 99% of our lives in the hustling ground but no matter how comfortable we are in our hustling ground, people tend to judge us more from the kind of structures we have in our villages.

What's your take on this?
Should we invest more into our hustling or working residence or would it be better to invest more into our houses in the village since that's technically our real home.

Most of una already de vila like this and I go wan hear una opinion.

happy new year great family from this end. It has been an amazing year filled with experiences and lessons that has equipped us for the current year.

Let all the failures and successes become a lesson that will guide us throughout the year.

More BTC to our wallet 
more achievement and growth for the board members
more deals to our snr men
we go celebrate next year together stronger and better

happy new year nija board.

you know the saying that anything that is worth doing is wort doing well with?

As long as we know that the forum is a discussion forum and that it requires writing on a regular bases, it becomes necessary to improve on our writing skill if not for ourselves, but for the sake of the person reading what we've penned down at the other end.
