            Attention!!!
     Can someone educate me about crypto currencies. What are they?
How do they work?
How do you buy them?
How do you transfer them?

Does their value fluctuate like traditional currencies?
Are  their any risk to owning them?
Is there a fraud risk?

                                    AN OVERVIEW

    You can be disinterested in politics like me, but you can't be disinterested in governance.
   So what's the difference between politics and governance. Let's discuss

         In my candid opinion I see politics to be mere activities through which one group gains power and control other groups. I submit you might be disinterested in this 😎.
        On the other hand I define governance or let's say governance are processes and traditions through which power and authority are exercised in a society.
        Too often we obsess about which group has power or control over the rest of us(Politics). Just to later realize all the groups are the same.
       I just hope I'm not being misunderstood, well let's take it a bit further. I think politics is simply about having our people in power and keeping their people out of it. Simply a game of inclusion and exclusion.
         Come to think of it, many say politics is a game of interest, I disagree I really think it's a game of thrones (GOT)😂
         As a true citizen, and purposeful leader you must ensure balance delivery of governance. What ever decisions should be for the benefit of the majority (all). That should be your sole objective and not politics.
    Unfortunately the African region has been a victim of this dirty politics, no proper governance. Politics is brought into everything.  Which has brought  them nothing but setbacks in so many things..
      Let's all bear in mind my brothers and sisters that whenever we're called to serve.
We shouldn't play politics, but rather serve.

  #PromotePeaceandUnity.

Just my opinion though.✌️🤗

4  Other / Politics & Society / WHY DOLLARS on: December 20, 2020, 08:51:58 PM
Don't you think the reason  why the American Dollars is the medium of Exchange in world at Large is far beyond the fact that they are WORLD POWER.

   I believe there's is more to that.
The French pounds is higher than the American dollars, yet it's not used globally like the American dollars.
I read about the Kuwait currency too. It's the highest I think. Why are they not used?


For me I think it's because America is the only country in the world that recognizes The Almighty God on its Currency.
The American dollar is the only money you find written boldly on it "IN GOD WE TRUST" 

   I'm not being religious here. Let's just think out of the box for once.
Don't you think God is really with them?
 I need answers
Let's brainstorm 😊😎

6  Other / Politics & Society / THE RICH VS THE POOR. Societal Evaluation. on: December 19, 2020, 06:20:57 PM
Let's just concentrate on Rich kids and Poor kids.

Rich people's kids marrying each other is actually not that deep. They probably went to the same expensive schools and attend similar rich people's events. Where will they meet poor people?
At a holiday in Paris?

Let's be serious please and stop apportioning blames on them. But rather work hard to be the Rich someday.

      I have a theory that what you do, when you are angry pressured on drunk is who you really are.
We consciously  suppress different part of us when you're drunk for instance inhibitions or suppression is lost and those parts of you become exposed. Wife beaters usually beat up their wives when drunk. Should they be excused because they're under an influence?

Let's discuss please

10  Other / Off-topic / DRUG ABUSE, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS. Part 2 on: December 12, 2020, 04:19:50 PM
We are focusing more on the solutions, this time around..in order to solve the problem of drug abuse each society stakeholder should join effort to fight the vice. The problem of drug abuse needs to be publicised and help given to drug users. In addition stiffer punishment should be given to traffickers.
    These and more interventions will be discussed below.
    FAMILY COUNSELING
  Counseling is the first step in solve the drug abuse problem. Users and addicts need to admit the fact they face a great problem. And counseling will enable them see the effects of drugs to themselves and their families.Family counseling also teaches families to be supportive of drug addicts and users in attempt to stop drugs. This is mandatory because drug users have families as primary socialization units. Family counseling should also address problems such as domestic Violence which are causes of drug abuse.
     HEAVY PUNISHMENT
  In order to deter trafficking and sales of drugs, laws which heavily punish drug use and trafficking ought to be passed. This should involve heavy fines and long prison sentenses when such laws are passed, they will deter drug traffickers and when drugs are unavailable, the problem of drug abuse will reduce. If not completely eradicated. Harsh laws are very  effective in deterring commission of crime.
       
          COMMUNICATION
    In order to solve the drug problem, better communication between teenagers, teachers and parents should be developed. This will enable teenagers to share their concerns with parents and guardians. Who will advise them on choices to make as opposed to peers, who may give wrong guidance and direction. Communication will also provide opportunities to teenagers to be aware of adverse effects of drug use.

         SUMMARY
  Drugs have been seen to be harmful not only to users but to their friends and families too. Their harmful effects include health complications, fatalities, loss of employment, and economic burdens amongst other effects. Every member of the society is responsible for the problem of drug abuse   and appropriate interventions should be implemented to discourage the vice.
 
SAY NO TO DRUG ABUSE ⚠️
11  Other / Off-topic / 2020: THE JOURNEY on: December 08, 2020, 08:42:53 PM
           2020: My best year since childhood, it taught me humility, and most especially how to care for others, the selfish nature of man in me was lost. I really think there's a point you will reach you have to open your eyes and see that "money isn't everything".
       2020 taught me how to be tough  and fall in love with adversity. It taught me the pattern of human life, it's exactly like the bitcion market, when things go bad as far you are moving that little retracment will result in a higher spike. We retrace a bit to go higher.
   You know I kicked off 2020 with problems beyond my capacity, but they did made me touch and strong, I don't think there is any weather and season I can't adapt to anymore. Neither am I scared to fail, God's plan is the best, but you have to act.
   2020 taught me patience and appreciation, how to go for something I can afford and over time go for a bigger and higher one, when am in abundance. Come to think of it, some things people waste time on aren't scalable they're not pandemic proof or inflation proof. Nobody saw 2020 coming with all this happenings here and there.
    This year taught me about human relationship, the wealth world is all about relationships with people and how well you listen to people if you know how to keep good friends and you're good at listening to people you gonna be more successful in life. 2020 taught me things about the mind, you are what you consume everyday. This is what differenciates successful people from struggling people. 2020 taught me that giving up because of adversities is an illusion. There's always an end to everything in life.
  Lastly I must say in 2020 I stopped being a snub, I learnt that I'm better than no one, neither is anyone better than me, but I'm better than who I was 24hrs ago and that's all that counts. I learnt that people who helped me grow, either I'm ahead or below them. They're still people I should respect much more.Most especially I learnt about bitcion 😊 and I'm very happy to be here, it feels like home.


 Thank you Bitcion Family.
2020 was indeed a voyage.

      There are various causes of drugs abuse. Drug abuse can be blaimed on parents, friends and society at large. Most drug addicts blame it on the following:,
  
       Lack of Parental Supervision
Parents have a important role to play in their child's upbringing.they serve an important purpose by instilling some good etiquette and cool values in them through socialization at early age they should ensure that their children are upright and they do not engage in social vices.
However in the modern world, parents have put their professional lives ahead of their families and delegated the role of raising children to nannies, as a result of that, the children do not acquire much needed guidance on life's issues and many end up taking drugs through peer pressure. Lack of supervision from parents who pursue their careers at the expense of their families can therefore be blaimed for high number of drug abuse cases among teenagers. Parents should supervise their children.
          
            Mental and physical abuse
  With my little knowledge domestic Violence and abuse has been one of the most common triggers of drug abuse.when people are emotionally or physically abused and they do not seek help they may engage in drugs to help them forget their problems. Many opt to try drugs which they percieve will distort reality and make them forget their concerns.
  However, victims are unaware that use of drugs increases their problems since it leads to addiction which have to be treated. Publicizing abuse, passing touch laws and offering free help to  victims will help reduce abuse cases and thereby reduce drug use cases.
        
           Media Influence
 The media has a lot to contribute, they're a major causaulity drug abuse especially regarding drugs like alcohol and tobacco. The media makes it appear cool and accepted to use such drugs through flashy advertisement. However less emphasis placed on adverse effects, hence teenagers are influenced to use them without enough information on repercussions faced due to drug use.this leads to addiction and by the time they realize they can't do without the drugs.

     Academic Setbacks
 Sudden drop of grades without clear reasons may indicate drug use, this may be linked to missing of classes, when taking drugs or harmful effects of drugs which affect the brain and cause poor academic performance. This behavior is usually accompanied by disrespect for school authorities and fellow students.

    SOLUTIONS COMING SHORTLY!!!
          
        
13  Other / Politics & Society / FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP, An Extraordinary Woman. on: December 03, 2020, 11:22:00 AM
The first lady of the United States of America is gifted, talented, intelligent and beautiful.
She speaks 6 different languages fluently and was highly successful as an international model and beauty Queen and in other fields of human endeavors long before meeting her husband..Mr President the person of Donald Trump.
   Despite all the abuses and misrepresentation meted to her unjustly, her family,son and husband has never said a word in response to haters. Through it all she remained focus, undaunted, strong, dignified, resilient and well above them all even in trying times.
   Her silence, loyalty and respect was her strength and shield.she supported her husband through thick and thin and never waivered  she never sought to expose hir weakness to humiliate, disregard him and undermine him.
   She guarded him jealousy even as she protected her son Baron and shielded him from public glare. Dutiful, respectful and humble: a good mother and good wife. This is a woman of class and substance.
 This is the real deal.
This is a lady

I have no doubt this is Donald Trump's Greatest Blessings and the source of his pride, strength and Joy.

  My sincere observation.

Whenever I see an update on News channel or pages of social media blogs, I instantly develop cold feet.. because one of fears currently is the fear of WAR.. I just have a feeling that the present status of the US GOVERNMENT and DONALD TRUMP not conceding defeat, might lead us to the third World War..(WW3)
What's your take on this?
15  Other / Off-topic / We rise by lifting others on: December 02, 2020, 06:38:59 PM
Do you believe in helping others rise?
Our society taught us to be focused on ourselves and loved ones, religion taught us to more focused on indoctrination and diverse beliefs.
Well I'm not trying to divert your attention.. just hinting us on what the society at large has brought upon us, let's be mindful of rendering help to people in need, and ensuring that people will always be there for us or our loved ones whenever we also are in need..
What do you think?
