981  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do not invest in Bitcoin with a borrowed money on: October 29, 2023, 01:03:25 PM
I don't know how things are done in your area concerning loan , when dealing with loan there must be a collateral and interest so with all this why not wait for your own money , no one can predict the price of bitcoin even robots cannot do that abi the person dey see vision?. I will not advice anyperson to borrow money for investment aside from bitcoin investment any other investment like estate investment, borrowing money is not an option. But seriously speaking no one should borrow money just for bitcoin investment, bitcoin is just an asset so why borrowing money, an asset is something you acquire maybe by working or buying, I see bitcoin as a merit like something  you work for just as the same way people work for money (fait)

I don't think I've seen many players score a hattrick this season. Scoring 3 goals in just 58 minutes is a great achievement. I congratulate Nketiah, let's see if he can manage to score another goal in the rest of the match.
We can say that Arsenal is having an easy match, they win 3 points easily Smiley

On paper Arsenal are certain to win, but because Arsenal are only able to win 1-0 at half time, it seems that it is not easy for Arsenal to win in this match. Although indeed, that Arsenal have very good dominance in this match from the first minute to the end of the match. But yes, if Arsenal can win easily, then Arsenal should have won with a better score also at half time . But apart from that of course, Sheffield United also does not have good quality. Because after all, so far this season the fact is that Sheffield United also no has winning results at all, and Sheffield United is at the bottom position in the Premier League standings at this moment. Therefore, it is appropriate for Arsenal to win with a big score like that.
Sheffield united doesn't have a good quality when it comes to playing, right, but if Arsenal should have given them a chance to win then they would have won this game, football is not all about the best or not for example Manchester city vs wolves who would have believe that wolves will win but they won, just like what happened to Chelsea. From the starting of this match I knew to myself that Arsenal will win. I don't see this Arsenal win as a luck they worked hard for it.
What an interesting match, I love what Nketiah did today first time in history what a big win for him, Rice with the assist, also a big win for Tomiyasu his first goal. Trossard, Fabio, Saka with an excellent performance.

The first match of the day will be between Chelsea and Brentford. Chelsea have started to get good results in recent weeks. Last week they drew 2-2 in their match against Arsenal. They have won 7 points from their last 3 Premier League matches. These good results have revived everyone who had given up on Chelsea. On the other hand, Brentford have been getting bad results in the league for a long time. However, last week they beat Burnley 3-0. Both teams have had good results in recent weeks. But Chelsea are the better team and have a better streak. I expect Chelsea to win this match.
Both teams are in fantastic shape, and the Bees are primed to engage on an exhibition versus the Blues at home. Both teams have equivalent endurance, but only the team with an effective winning strategy will be able to secure all three points in the engagements, Chelsea plays Brentford at Stamford Bridge. The game starts is early kick-off, more reason I'm in a hurry to finish up with my schedule activities for the purpose to meet up the game. In today's game, Mauricio Pochettino will face Thomas Frank, with both managers striving solely at triumph.
The first half just ended and the both teams played very well, Brentford played a very defensive game against Chelsea which I think Brentford was tough in the first half which might not be easy for Chelsea to have advantage against Chelsea.  The both teams have chances of scoring goals in this match which can end up with a draw score. Chelsea's performance have really changed,  I can see good improvements from their performance unlike past games in the beginning of the season.
From the very first minutes of the game Chelsea has been in full control possessing the game but wasting chances and since they couldn't break the lock Brentford has found a chance to do just that in the 58th minutes in the second half of the game and for a team with a pretty robust defense like Brentford now leading with. 1 nil it's going to be difficult for Chelsea to win this match with their terrible crossings you can't win a game such poor crosses and passes that can't even get through your opponent in their 18 box yard.
Have said this before don't put your trust on Chelsea this season they have nothing to offer absolute nothing to offer, they are best in pushing and playing rough game, ever since I knew Chelsea will not win from the starting the way they handle Brentford they lack passing skill and team work. But the way Chelsea played Arsenal last week if chealsea had brought that energy today it will be a win for them
984  Economy / Economics / Re: What does being rich mean in your perspective? on: October 27, 2023, 08:11:10 PM
It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
Just simple, be able to afford your basic needs, and being in your comfort zone. I will say peace and health can also be counted as riches,  because someone can have all the money in the world but the person has no peace  secondly if money can buy a good health I think wealthy people will never die again, according to a song writer "money does not buy happiness" and am still doubting, in summary if a man can afford his basic needs his said to be rich
985  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the need to be known a requirement to qualify for a loan(s)? on: October 27, 2023, 07:48:55 PM


Lending money to people is a risky business and to mitigate your risks you have to go the extra mile in knowing more about this person you want to give your loan to, so I don't see any issue with that. Before you go applying for loan you have to give some information about yourself and still you have to be of good records, if you don't like that then avoid taking loans.
Why will a normal person apply for a loan with the intention of not paying back, I call that act stealing. Knowing more about the person is never enough if am lending someone money that person must drop at least one of his valuable property as collateral  or else I don't see any reason of giving my money out.
986  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin: The smartest investment choice. on: October 27, 2023, 07:32:26 PM
Recently, the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and the business partner of Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, made some controversial remarks about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at Zoom's Zoomtopia 2023 conference. He called Bitcoin "the stupidest investment I ever saw", and said that most crypto investments will go to zero. He also said that despises Bitcoin's growth and that he would never buy or invest it.
No matter what you say about bitcoin, some people will continue to remain bitcoin critics. They do not want to accept the fact that bitcoin is an asset because it is not seen physically. They have forgotten that love, happiness and the likes are not also seen but real. Bitcoin is a coin, but digital and not seen but it is real, having a limited supply that will make it scarce. People are buying it, its adoption continues and its marketcap and price continue to increase than decrease.
I think the major reason people will continue to criticize bitcoin will be the price, the price is not stable, that's why most bitcoin investors say bitcoin investment is very risky but I don't see anything risky in bitcoin investment. Why?
An investor is not suppose to make use of his investment money until it gets to his target time, sometimes people investing in bitcoin are still the people who share the wrong information outside because how will a total stranger who knows nothing about bitcoin start speaking wrong about bitcoin, no it doesn't work that way.

video-ritualist-man-kills-uniport student
E go good make we as a human beings always dey contented with watin we get, like we all already know say, all fingers no dey equal, so I believe say everybody no go dey the same.
I go like share small about a young beautiful girl way just kick bucket just because say she live her broke boy friend go date one Yahoo boy for their area and finally finally the yahoo boy con use her for money ritual, e dey pain me well well, but watin done happen done happen.
Some youths both boys and girls them done dey do things way no dey good and some of this things nah fraud, ritualist and those things no good.

The problem is that after all these sad stories of yahoo boys using their girlfriend for rituals most girls still prefer yahoo boys to other guys that makes legit money without soiling their hands. Girls this days are after money and material things that they can achieve from a guy rather than building a serious relationship that can possibly lead to marriage. It is very sad how we keep on hearing nasty stories of this nature almost everyday.

I hate when situation happens like this and every one is putting blame on the victim rather than the criminal. December don reach so everyone is hustling for their December funds, and this season dirty things dey happen. Fraud, organ harvesters, ritualist na this season them dey operate most, just because you see your mate buying car building house you con decide to join the big boys trend and na illegal way.
The only thing wey I fit blame the victim be say, you're dating a guy he has money, latest phone come he buy latest hair come he buy and you couldn't find the source of the wealth, nawa. But sometimes sef girls them too do, as this thing happen so girls still dey find ritualist, to date to show that no lesson learnt. I dey feel say na the pressure wey girls dey give boys and the attitude wey broke boys dey receive wan make them dey do all this evil act.
The thing be say make everybody dey careful, because girls too can do this evil act no be only boys o the world don turn to something else wey human go gather dirty mind.
988  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The common saying Health is wealth on: October 26, 2023, 10:11:53 PM
The problem with such traders is ignorance. They are ignorant of the importance of their health and the need for medical checkup. And really they are the class of people who are involved in self medication, it is when their sickness get aggravated that they visit the hospital
Ignorance is the major thing causing self medication without doing a check up because I see no reason why people make money buy clothes, shoes and when it comes to health they care less and that's very wrong. I still believe is caused by ignorance because what they don't know they will not care about it, this saying ignorance is a disease and that's the fact, this self medication is not for only business people everyone falls victim of this and that's a bad habit
989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 09:15:56 PM
I want to only talk about the comic part although for many people there is nothing comic in here,yet the lady didn't she knew that her fiance was a gambler and out of a gambler what can you expect when the hardest form of addiction hits you,you will find any remote possibility to get money to bet and to feed your burning desire to gamble.

Not all addicted gambler can stoop so low to behavior like this, I think a 10 years old child cannot be this stupid. This is beyound gambling addict for real, just imagine the pains the lady is passing through and it takes a lot of braveness to come out in the public. I will advice the lady to leave the marriage because he might end up betting his house one day.
But sincerely speaking I don't think the man wants to marry the lady why? Sometimes when taking some certain actions you need to consider the consequences and if you have a wife or fiancée  that should be the more reason you need to be careful, now in this case he deicide to use his marriage money for gambling knowing fully well that betting is very risky 50/50, very risky and he went ahead using his marriage money. I think from the starting of the story he was never interested in that marriage, ladies nowadays will never support a man for wedding plans or savings except the lady loves the guy.
990  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 26, 2023, 08:05:05 PM
We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?
IMHO. I'll give you an example of why this shouldn't be a discussion for most. If we're going to check if men are the ones who can't control themselves and have bad spending habits, we check the top 10 richest persons in the world because all of them are men.
I think it's not best bringing top 10 richest in the world here, besides behind every successful man there's a woman. So we should not go to that area, reasons may be attributed why woman are more economical than men but in some cases men are also economical than women it all  depends on what you trying to say
In nature women are met to be economical why?
They learn how to manage everything they have, when it comes to business, money, their home etc, secondly women avoid spending  lavishly
991  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Quick money wahala on: October 25, 2023, 05:44:19 PM
I no blame anybody wey dey find money, quick money or not money na money. Gone are those days, those days no dey like nowadays ohh, for example we no go fit compare price of those days food stuffs to nowadays. Why Nigeria economy and situation dey like this na only God know why,
For example subsidy was removed so that every state allocation will increase and the major reason why Tinubu removed subsidy he wanted the salaries of all civil servants, workers, salaries to be increased but rather state governors has refused to increase workers salaries, like my state allocation use to fluctuate sometimes 32bn or 33bn but nothing to show. Things like this are attributed to bad government and poor economy.
But the fact that young and old people take this hustle dirty and illegal is still wrong and needs to be prohibited, people making legal money aren't foolish, in essence we should still be hoping for a better Nigeria.

My country people I just come across this information, and many people they drag about this thing say American FBI and CIA dey threaten our president Amed Bola Tinubu, say if him no comot for seat, say dem go bring out things we go inplicate am or criminal related things. and now say our presido no gree.

So now I come dey ask say person wey don manover him way  to become president, ona think say wetting FBI or CIA bring go fit affect am? Make we yarn this matter.

Where you took this information from shows it's not from a reliable source, Phoenix browser they're always good at propaganda, secondly propaganda is one of the major source politicians use to fight there opponent so am not surprised. I will advice if you want to be giving informations like this go for a reliable source or maybe listen to news.
They never said they want him to resign as a president the issue here is the chicago state university shows the approval and acceptance to one of the certificate while the other document shows the dissaproval of certificate. And this case is in the supreme court so let's watch first.

One thing have observe about social media facebook, Instagram, they always keep to their community rules and standards. People talking about scammers and how they have invested there bitcoin on an unreliable platform. So I believe the ban of cryptocurrency on Instagram is as a result of Scammers misleading people,newbie precisely. But with or without Instagram, bitcoin still gain ground. Besides I see no reason why people discuss bitcoin on Instagram, Instagram is a place where celebrity and people showcase there lives and have fun.

I don't know what to say, but BTC is not free from imperfections, it still has many scalability issues, which have already discussed so many times here, I will just mention some old threads here for your understanding of those issues.

As the post says, it is the closest human work so far to one free of imperfections and relativity, second to Jesus. I'm aware of the known imperfections of Bitcoin. I've tried to address them from a different perspective in other posts.

According to what Lyn Alden said whenever there is a technological change, there is always opposition groups wondering if it's safe and technology in the long run always win, So it is just a matter of time. Am trying to understand the definition of bitcoin from your perspective, knowing the fact that bitcoin is not perfect because nothing is perfect but bitcoin is beneficiary to man kind and anyone who becomes part of this technology. I believe generations will understand what bitcoin is and become part of this technology.https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwTGO3ttY8c/?igshid=YWYwM2I1ZDdmOQ==

It all depends on the person you're gifting (wife) if she does not like it she will not have value for it. For me you did an excellent job by gifting your wife half of your bitcoin because bitcoin is precious and valuable to me but I don't know for someone else. Not everyone is willing to accept bitcoin as a gift due to the nature of bitcoin.
I sincerely love the faith of your wife cause she's willing to hold bitcoin as a source of investment not every wife can be supportive to such idea.
996  Other / Archival / Re: Food no be empowerment. on: October 23, 2023, 09:39:55 PM
True to be told to everyone, for people to get married no me problem for Nigeria at all, governments no dey in a position to do those kind of things for people at all, even if say no be bad thing but that one no be the most important thing to do for citizens.
This nah the populations of people way dey this our country so and still things no dey in other and still the government want more populas for this country, nai make them go do mass marriage for couples.
Think am well, Nigeria no be the most populated country for the whole world but things no dey right then come imagine am say this we 9ja con be the most populated country, how e go be? With the small research them way j done do, I con take know say 9ja no reach half of the most populated country for the world and still the country way get the highest populations dey fear pass 9ja.

In the first place the government is not suppose to even do this, make we dey sincere with ourselves, abi to marry wife for people don turn government work?. Talking about the job, government no suppose find who he go employ. Sometimes when I reason the accusation people dey put for government head ehhn I dey shoke, for me I no see anything wey dey wrong for there o.

Secondly nobody dey force person to marry, government no dey force person to marry. If person no get job why the person wan rush into marriage. Almost everyone shouting no job no job, job full everywhere na them never see am. E good make everybody hold there side. Definetly after the marriage any person wey hustle well go fit feed he family. I no dey reason the job matter because them too get plans.
@Miles2006, please pardon my misconceptions, if only I am misunderstanding what you are saying so far, but I still believes that everyone has their own thoughts towards this issues, I go like to agree with you small but I still disagree with some of the things way you done talk.
Yes, and nah true say we no go just dey accused the government for waytin dem no do, but this marriage matter nah legit and I believe say you done also see or hear am for news, if you never open the content way I drop, try open am make you observed by your self.
Yes, government no force anybody to marry but first nah them bring up the matter to do the marriage for couples instead of to provide means on how them go take get employment, even of say nah 40k amount self nah something be that, now way the country hard, 40k self jo be better money but at least e fit go a bit long way for them, if only them plan am well.
The real matter be say, job first before marriage, watin them won use do wedding abi you want make them come marry you or any of your relatives on credit? No. So, me I still stand on my words, JOB BEFORE MARRIAGE.
I wan try to understand something from this your post, government force any of those people to do marriage? na wetin I wan understand, I will plead if you stop speaking for those people because you sef no know if them get job wey dey pay. I want make you try understand my point, make person no just jump into marriage just because government dey do marriage for people and then still expect government to feed or employ them. Secondly work full everywhere no be only government work dey sustain person, if people dey depend on government job many people for don die for hunger, for example you dey bitcointalk that one no concern government employment, in essence work full for naija wey no involve government employment. Thirldly that place na north area, and northerners no dey too depend on government employment, wetin dey common for that side na farming, na farming them dey use survive. I remember that flood season wey things dey expensive for my state why? Because no road for the Hausas to take supply food stuffs for us, and that particular season onion con cost. so I believe say na the northerners dey hold farming strong for niaja.
997  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: October 23, 2023, 09:17:06 PM
self-control is one of the things you always need to apply when you feel you are on the brink of any addiction. if you think, you can't contain yourself anymore, better stop and contemplate on your life. remember, no one will truly help you but your own self.
find other valuable activities that you think you can enjoy at. so your attention would go somewhere more worthwhile. you will thank yourself later on for not being consumed with such addiction.

Self control help to get away from the addiction for sure,either it’s gambling or drugs or drinking.The first think is you need to understand you was get into the addiction,the foremost part it understanding you are in addiction.Then you can easily get away from it,secondly you need to reduce the usage of the gambling.Then you need to fix the monthly deposit on the gambling by calculating your income.The deposit should not reach more then the 20 percent of your income.Then try to get some profit from the game,it will avoid from addiction.Gambling addiction mostly cause due to huge loss in gambling based on his luck.
Self control is not as easy as you said, I believe everyone can control his/herself. First of all no one wants to loose money to any platform, so if you're the type that you've never gain any profit from gambling and each time you tell yourself not to bet you find yourself doing it. Quick answer, just make a list , in that list write down the money you spend on gambling every month, write down the profit you're expecting and if you're not getting a profit trust me that person will stop betting. Most people saying am addicted to betting maybe because they've not loss a huge amount of money. Almost everyday I see people crying about betting and promising themself  not to gamble again. So trust me the moment that person loss a huge money to a betting platform that person will stop immediately. So for me I will say allow the person to bet and when the person loss a huge money that person will stop instantly, secondly I don't believe people saying am addicted to gambling. No amount of self control will stop someone from betting dear.
998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet on: October 23, 2023, 07:59:22 PM
Early hours of today,  one of the Nigeria billionaire business man E money shared his bet slip online for fans to see how much he splashed on the game between Chelsea vs Asernal which already on and Cheslea leading with 1:0, this brought me to the point of asking what your opinion on celebrities staking higher amount and still be ok to publicly show it and do not feel any thing even if the ticket cut just like what happened to Drake last few weeks back.


What is you view and analysis on this bet,  although I see that he be confident in his selections to have staked such an amount,  but since football is a game of unpredictability,  what then ks your views on this game even though the match is currently live.
We all have different opinions on games and he have clearly showed us his own view of the game but what I don’t understand is why he would take such risk and stake on Arsenal to win despite watching how terrible Arsenal was in the first half, their entire midfield bullied and overshadowed by South American combo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo who also got help from Conor Gallagher. Chelsea’s midfield was rock solid throughout the game which was why it was difficult for Arsenal to penetrate them and their most creative midfielder Odegaard was lost throughout the game. Merely seeing Arsenal’s performance in the first should have made him know he was making a wrong decision and winning Chelsea at stamford bridge will be a difficult task.

In my opinion Arsenal was even lucky to have draw the game and had it been Chelsea converted their chances it would’ve been a different story.
That's betting for him, he had his own choice to make so I don't see anything wrong here. Talking about the betting, only Chelsea fan will bet the winning for Chelsea. Trust me despite the oppression and everything Arsenal still came out strong and best with a draw, so I think Chelsea are the lucky ones here because Arsenal didn't bring out there best. I see Chelsea fan talking dirty about this match and I will laugh, bro a draw at home very bad, I expected more better from them. from my observation Arsenal would have score another goal but due to the time duration that's why they could not score
999  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The rate of divorce in the society on: October 23, 2023, 07:15:13 PM
I think what most people fail to understand about marriage is marriage is a Union and not a contract. Most people fail to understand themselves individually before getting married, I think the fall of marriages is people fail to know themselves first like the example you made a man divorce his wife after seeing her without makeup that shows that there is no love for each other, all what the man wants is a beautiful face and not a wife. People now rush into marriage forgetting that marriage is forever and needs time first.
For example in my country women rush into marriage because they are not financially stable so they need someone to take care of them and that's a wrong impression, before getting married both parties need to be independent financially. Secondly most people lack the process to take before getting married. Let me talk about one, courtship; this is the dating period where two individuals get to know about themselves better. Thirdly most marriages lack a healthy communication, I feel communication in every marriage is important and any marriage that lacks communication will not last

Practice makes perfect, everything in life needs practice, the fact is having a full knowledge about bitcoin without putting it to pratice shows you're not perfect, in fact everything concerning bitcoin needs practice, trading, mining, selling, etc needs practice. Having an experience be it bad or good makes you stronger the more. Most traders you're talking about they have also seen the bad side of it and still the good side of trading. In essence putting to practice what you've learnt is the best
