921  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Come wetin we see about some Nigerian youths wey use smoking do work of they lif on: November 19, 2023, 10:25:31 PM
There are several reasons why people smoke and the reason is best known to them and I no wan condemn anyone as I already know say reasons differ but still smoking for the sake of wiping away poverty or brokenness isn't a tangible excuse for smoking especially  cigarettes but I think I've read about some health benefits of Marijuana which is mostly consumed by the youths a d I learnt it also helps to reduce depression and I think you can research more about some health benefits of Marijuana and cannabis and I believe  say we no go really condemn this weed we dey condemn like this.
There is no genuine reason for a chain smoker to smoke. They love smoking and smoking is very addictive. One thing you should understand about smokers is that they really love the feeling that comes after smoking, it makes them feel like they are out of the world and that feeling is called euphoria which is very addictive. I don't see smoking as something that is bad but the too much intake of it is what feel is not worth it.

There are quite a number of things wey we young people need know about life. Smoking of all those things will only destroy your life. E dey scatter your liver small, small. But e dey surprise person how person go take know say something go kill them, but them go still go on to go smoke. Smokers are liable to die young for people wey dey smoke na wetin dem write on top cigarettes but dem go still go dey smoke am.

Now make we try imagine how much of damage those weeds and Marijuana go dey cost person health, because dem dey more dangerous. But e no concern them as person go still go ahead dey go smoke.

This world is just made of fantasy. We know something will kill us as human beings but we still went ahead to go and kill ourselves by using those things. People go still go run something even on how dem know say the thing go kill them but na so Satan dey corrupt this world. I think that's the difference between this world and the hereafter.

My broda you know say car wey u they enter fit get accident but you still they enter am. You know say plane fit crash why people still they fly for air and you people still know say boat they sink for water they dey travel thorugh sea. Wetin go kill person, person no go know. Just as the bible done talk, unless God watch a city the watchmen watchet in vain. I dont see people wey they smoke till old age nothing do them. Weting they do our contri people espeially those smoking affect nah say them no they treat their health regualry or wash their body system and slo they no they take good vitamins wey they naturally good for the body system. As person they smoke him suppose they clease in body organ, if e they check him body regularly nothing go do am.
922  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Is Ai a threat to Nigerias educational system on: November 19, 2023, 10:11:06 PM
AI is the new advance technology, and it has been adopted by so many individuals in various countries. I don't see it as something that will hinder education rather something that will improve and facilitate the process of learning in our country. I am certain if someone is not educated, he/she cannot use any AI tool. I take someone who has knowledge on how to use the internet and the AI tools.

Student use AI for negative reasons but as well there are some students who use it in a positive way. They use it to make more research on a particular topic without having to surf the internet for a long time. The AI tool has access to all the permitted information's on the internet and makes it easier for one to ask and get those answers.

Nigerian higher institution student now lack the zeal to read and do a proper research because of ai presently now ai is now the Messiah to many Nigerian students which I see as a threat if not is been done the thing about it is that most of the time it pops out wrong answers mean while if you did not study it will think it's correct, Nigerian student before now we're known to be very very intelligent not minding our semi failed educational system we have here its very easy for Nigeria's to bag first class and many other honors outside Nigeria because we do study hard for it but I doubt in 10 years time if we will be able to say this again because of the high rate of student turning to this Ai thing basically I see it helpful a little bit but I will still encourage you to still  study so you wouldn't be taken unaware with wrong answers.
The use of an A.I is becoming so alarming in our society today and I believe it is making so many students, as you already said, be lazy in terms of learning and also writing text or in exams, which is not a good idea to do so.
I can show a photo of an A.I. am on my WhatsApp. I normally use it, mostly when I am confused or am bored, because it keeps me company most times.

If you read clearly, you will see our discussion.
I am not against the use of an A.I, people should use it in a good way and not abuse it (like using it to cheat at school).

 Before this AI came out a lot of students were still using other means to cheat in the examination hall and other way, I don't know why we now put all the blames on the AI. Anyone who is going to cheat will do it whether AI or not.

Sometimes when I de reflect on how far I done come for the tech and cryptocurrency space, and all the things and experiences I don gathered so far, e de amaze me seriously. Growing up, I been de seriously into playing of keyboards and instruments in church and I been seriously think say na from there I go take make a living, later as I begin grow come enter street, the vibes to de follow up church matter come drop and I no come de take the instrument stuff very seriously. I come later enter into phone repairs come de enjoy the work wetin no nice and come even de make small savings say I go use start up my own phone repairs shop. As I get admission into school na there the whole phone repairs matter come die like that and I come say make I try focus on school small but e no take time when the interest begin die down. We just de get small conversation and my friend just bring up the matter weda I de interested to go into tech, I been no take am seriously but with time as I come de visit my guy come de see how him de work, I come say make I follow try see how e de be and with time I come de enjoy the stuff small small.

E done de reach almost 3 years when I don de do this work with my guy and I don get serious sense of fulfilment as I de do the job so! Nah so ah con still join the forum as they come give me update about bitcoin and so far the journey has been filled with fulfillment and happiness.

Wetin I de try talk be say make we no de write anything off like that on  the first appearance, make we continue to de learn anything when de reasonable and useful to learn. you never can tell which one will end up paying you very well in this life.

Hello @Royse777 !
I would like to inform you that I have achieved Hero rank. If any slots open for Hero or Senior, I would appreciate it if you could include me

I have very good memory with you. I joined my first ever signature Biswap managed by you when I held the rank of Member . Now as Hero member I am still working under you and I look forward to maintain it for longer period.

Congratulations Gladitorcomeback for achieving your Hero member rank and has been promoted to the Senior member pay roll. More heights to you.

However I hope to see what our best manager will do. Perhaps since Gladitorcomeback has been moved to a higher rank. Someone else might be promoted to fill his space, am just hoping that I'll get a space as a full member on this campaign.

Cheers to all for another great week.
926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use multiple platforms for betting? on: November 15, 2023, 08:50:11 PM
What's your aim when using two or more online casinos to gamble? Some people are doing this to get free bonuses and I am not doing the same, I believe that trying your luck on more than one casino gives you a better chance at winning at times, I am using a casino because of it's simplicity and the other because of the games they made available.
I don't think that is the reason for most persons. Some betting platforms has a unique feature that makes a gambler wants to use it, so if in the future they do not support that feature anymore the gambler will surely leave the platform and go to another one with same feature or better feature. But in some cases, the gambler will still continue to use both because they are more familiar with the User interface and experience of the previous platform and is taking them quite some time to get used to the recent platform. Another reason for using multiple betting platforms because of the odds offerings. All platforms will have the standard sides and totals, but not all platforms offer the same odds on every game you want to bet. Some odds are better than the other so you can choose to bet on this particular game on this platform and go to the other one to bet a different game there you think the odd is better.

927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: November 15, 2023, 08:14:15 PM
Betting company owners run the betting, as they are in charge of management so they may not have much time for betting. Suppose you are the managing director of a company, then do you work alone or do you manage the work of the employees working in your company? Our thinking is to make profit by betting and their thinking is to make profit by managing bets. A gambling based organization or casino based organization runs this type of activity by earning a lot of money so they don't need to play extra gambling to earn extra money. My personal opinion is like this but sometimes many jackpot offers are offered there maybe some person in the gambling establishment is betting.
Perhaps you are misunderstanding it what OP is asking. He did not ask if the manager or workers of the company do bet. Because i know the owners of betting companies are not the one who does the main job they have ambassadors, managers and project directors who are the to handle everything within the company. So, they have all the time to bet. However, one who is not passionate about betting will not own a betting company. The owners of betting companies are the biggest and richest gamblers in my own opinion.
928  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the right age for financial stability? on: November 15, 2023, 08:05:42 PM
There is no described age or perfect age for financial stability. Those who were born with a silver spoon where already stable in finances even before they grew up. Last year i had a conversation with my one of my course mates. His mother is the adviser to one of the senators of the states in my country. And he said, "Bro do you know the worst day of my life". I replied 'no'. Then he said "it was the day my car broke down on the road and I have to wait for the government mechanic to come and fix it" I was surprised that it was his worst day. As you can see his future is already promised and he is already stable financially. Accounts created with his names, business and other things.
929  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it difficult for people to get capital easily? on: November 15, 2023, 07:54:36 PM
OP if you don't have a good paying job you can't raise any money to start your business or investment. In my country there are good paying job opportunities Buit it is only available for those who have connections, perhaps maybe a friend, relative or someone close who will introduce to the job before they can accept you.  Other lower jobs are there but it will take you long before you can save up enough money to start business. This is because the monthly income is not even enough to pay your bills entirely and still have left to save. Especially when you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders. If you insist and want, so try to save up even with the little you earn it will take you years to raise good capital and by then the amount you are supposed to use in starting the business that year would be twice in the year you managed to save some.
930  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Every successful innovation is a product of a sound mind and a positive mindset. on: November 15, 2023, 06:44:21 PM
OP you done talk well, the mind nah the root of good idea wey de lead to success, but make we no forget about the other things we suppose they inlvolve wey go help implement the idea or innovations wey d mind done stimulate. "The bible says the mind and soul is willing but the flesh is weak ".

In my own point of view weting they men by the flesh is weak nah say the flesh lacks discipline, determination and dedication. Me ah they call am the three Ds. A lot of ideas and good visions have been discarded or failed to be implemented because of lack of this D's. Ah no say e no they easy but if we wan achieve weting this people wey OP use as example achieve we need to maintain focus and stay on track because normally temptation go come from different angle nah that three D's go fit help us overcome. This nah my own solid contribution.
931  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: My thoughts and wonders on Bitcoin on: November 15, 2023, 05:11:38 PM
I also feel that since Satoshi Nakamoto which I assume isn't one person has recorded huge success since the introduction of this digital electronic currency called bitcoin, why can't satoshi himself or theirself  as the case may be reveal his or their identity I mean it will be very good for people to know who satoshi is so that they can offer help to him or them on more ideas to improve the authenticity of bitcoin or rather sort help on how to ascertain an incredible success in acquiring bitcoins.
The solidity of bitcoin and the secrets for bitcoin to wax greatly was the reason for his disappearance come to think of this the government are after Satoshi Nakamoto to have full control of bitcoin, let say if the government have him and forced him to reveal the principle and hand over everything to them bitcoin mission could have failed by now and you know what? What ever that involves government has a central authority meaning government are to decides about the prices and total supply maybe there wouldn't had been any halving by now who knows. So just keep it at the back of your mind that the reason for bitcoin to have this popularity was as a reason for him to remains anonymous otherwise government could have forces him to destroy the mission and vision of bitcoin, and remember bitcoin was create as an alternative means of payments and to ease payment where there seems to be no network issues bitcoin will be used as easy gateway for online payment.
I pray Satoshi continues to remain anonymous. Because if this government officials get a trace of him or his offspring they will find all possible means to control the system he has built all these years. It takes a lot of discipline to maintain anonymous, this is because humans like the feeling of ownership and fame. If some persons were giving the opportunity to be the owner of Bitcoin they would make sure all the world knows and brag about their achievements, just the way Elon musk does.

I won't be surprised that some well known technological CEO have some hidden deal with the government's which they use as a strategy to control how the technology is been used in the country. For instance Facebook can save your personal data and sell it to other companies and this is only authorized by the Nigerian government. Any day the government decides to stop access to users data then Facebook will lose a lot of users. But they cannot stop it because they are benefiting from

🗣️| Leandro Trossard on what position he feels most comfortable playing in:

“That’s a tough question. I don’t really mind playing all of those positions up top, to be fair. If it’s left winger, as a false nine, even as an attacking midfielder, I don’t really have a straight answer for that.

“[As a kid I played] as a number ten, like a proper attacking midfielder back in the old days, or as a striker as well.

“I always try to be in the box and in good positions to score goals and with the quality that we have, I know I have to be there, especially if I play on the left wing, I need to be there when, for example, Bukayo Saka is on the ball on the right side, so yeah I follow my instinct there, to be honest, to get in the right positions to score goals.

Will Trossard be Arsenal's top 9 in the future.

933  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Hardwork no longer incur success on: November 15, 2023, 03:47:23 PM
My own be say whether you work smart or you work hard, without dedication and discipline you can never attain success in whatever you are doing. Hard work pays and working smartly also pays. In our society today due to corruption, hardworking people are no longer encouraged. Corruption is taking over society in the name of working smart. Most youths are no longer willing to learn hand work all in the name of them working smart. And when dey see people wey dey work hard them go dey discourage them say this country no really need people wey dey work hard. My own be say stick to what's working for you as we all get different grace. Where e work for you no fit be the same place e go work for another person.

Hard workers nah the people wey dey dey employ as labourers. Nah them they under the last chain for any industry. No one wey no they pay, whether hardwork and smart work but the different be say the hard workers nah the one wey they receive less and nah them dey work for the  smart workers.

These days if you wan really they successful for life nah to find how u go use get people wey go work for you. Time is money so if you have something like a business or industry that you can employ people to work for you e go they better o. This nah because if 24 hrs work go fit give you 10k a day then imagine you get 56 hrs nah 30k. And e go only they possible if you employ two extra persons. E just they simple more hands involved more profit.

Being educated means understanding and making use of the information we encounter daily, applying what we learn to our own lives. I am not surprised that people jump into conclusions that has no validation.

Learning is everywhere. Everything we do, observe, and hear teaches us something, one way or another. So it's left for us to say what will think is right.

E include, cost of transportation ( distance wey be 100 naira nah 200 naira now), cost of internet ( MTN data no they last again), not to talk about cost of health and living.

936  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a peer to peer method less popular than as an investment on: November 15, 2023, 01:13:07 PM
If you think about it, it makes sense.

Bitcoin makes you think with a long term mentality, you should save more than what you are spending. That's a big change from the "spend now, pay later" mentality of fiat.

This means that sending peer-to-peer Bitcoin (spending) should be less popular than investment (saving).



Bitcoin doesn't make you think long term. It's your mindset and choice that makes you want to leave your Bitcoin for the long term. Just the way you feel like HODL there are persons that prefer day to day trading because they feel that is the fastest way to get profit.

Both peer-peer Bitcoin and investment should both be giving equal attention. Different features but one system. It is Bitcoin that should be giving more popularity and not the feature itself.
937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 15, 2023, 12:56:09 PM
Aston Villa has better goal productivity than Tottenham. But I see Tottenham still have a good chance of beating Aston Villa. This is an interesting match because the two teams are only 1 point apart. Tottenham will win that match and Aston Villa will remain in 5th place in the standings. Even though Aston Villa has more wins but it cannot be said that Aston Villa has better chances.

I still don't think Tottenham will beat Aston Villa; the team has been playing better this season, and some of Tottenham's players won't be able to play due to injuries, so I can't say that the game will be easy to win. Aston Villa's performance is stronger right now; Tottenham is only one point ahead of them, but they have more goals than Tottenham. If Tottenham puts in more effort against Aston Villa, they might be able to win at home, which would keep Aston Villa in 5th place. However, I can't predict the game right now because both teams have a good chance to win.

Winning the game is the best thing for Tottenham Spurs. After losing to Chelsea, I noticed that they also lost to Wolves, who are currently in 12th place in the league, they equalized and scoring two goals in extra time. For this reason, that is why i said Tottenham winning against Aston Villa won't be easy, but maybe Spurs will have the advantage of playing at home and earning three points. Yet, Richarlison's injury is likely to be for a long time; I just hope Maddison returns soon, so Spurs should perform better than this, Son Heung is finding it difficult to score.
Yes, I believe Tottenham we win Aston Villa. It was 10 and Tottenham has been unbeaten together with Arsenal, with eight wins and two draws. It is good for them because they have not dropped lower to 5th. Currently Aston Villa. Even though Aston Villa has been impressive this season I don't see any chance to win they have to win Tottenham. Am still certain that regardless of the circumstances over shadowing Tottenham with two red cards and some players injured, the coach has strategies a new pattern that will help the team to continue to win the game.

That's true, how can someone think of making an investment all of a sudden without having any experience in it, trading could be a way of having a profitable investment but we cannot just embark on it like that without having any practical or technical how to do, this is the first thing that is expected of every newbies to allow time proof itself on them by learning to get ready before starting anything.

But I started directly from a friend and made a deposit on the exchange around 40$. Not suicide, but I was prepared for the loss of those funds. Even in the past I didn't know demo account, I just learned directly to buy and sell then self-taught about the problem of Analysis. So I directly practice in exchange using small funds.
After understanding then you will feel comfortable trading.
I understand the meaning of trading is trading and in it there is a way of holding. If you mean trading is short-term trading and hold is long-term then you should do both. Because I did that.
Your friend have knowledge on Bitcoin investment or trading that is why you were comfortable enough to entrust your 40$. You can't tell me you would deposit your money in an exchange just to play with it there or gamble it. However, it is your decision which is suside, but as you said the money you used was something you could just forget, which means you were willing to profit or loss and you don't really care about the outcome then.

By now I believe your perception is different. You know what is right to do and how to approach investment. Because I know if you have a friend or brother you want to introduce to Bitcoin you won't advised him/her to start the same way you started, you now have a better option for them.

I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try  but am still learning gradually about it.
The only thing to be worry about when buying now is price going below the buying price, for example if you buy at 35,000.. if portfolio is to be in the green then it doesn't need to go below the buying price otherwise asset value goes in the red
IMO there is no point OP should be worried about the buying price going below. This is because that is in the nature of Bitcoin that you bought at 35k today doesn't mean it will continue going high from there without doing any low movement. It may go down to 27k or 25k. What Op should be concerned is about the long term price of Bitcoin. This will encourage him to hold his Bitcoin for long. One thing that is certain is certain that Bitcoin price will be higher that what it is today in the next one or two decades

It's been a while since I've seen quality threads like this. At every point in one's career pursuit, there shouldn't be any point of not being productive because it will limit how fast you would have grown and excelled in that career path.

The starting point always seems difficult, like you cannot make it or grow. There is always a time when you feel like you're stuck and could not continue, but patience and consistency are just what a person needs. If I could remember how I started my web development skill, all the lines of code seemed like counting sands, but with time I became more acquainted with it.

The truth is the more passionate you are about something, the more you will grow and get better at it.
