This is the most striking difference between the less developed countries and the developed countries. The less developed government, when they ascend power usually focus on how to succeed themselves as soon as they get in there. This is why they won't do or create long lasting policies. They don't build long lasting projects, they rather do projects that will easily fade off like roads because they will still be there to reaward those contracts. Those reawards of projects certainly don't fly without having percentage bargained with the contractors (who are friends or relatives for their dirty business to be kept secret) to be remitted into their personal account. Since they keep themselves in government for their next tenure, that is the practice and when they can't recontested from the tenure stipulation from the constitution, they would do everything to rig the election and install someone that will be loyal to them and as a stodge and remit percentage of monthly allocation to them and contracts too.
How do such system grow in good things of life?
How would the legal system work this way when the incumbent government still pays allegence to outcome government?
How do the incumbent government get projects executed when 70% of the projects awarded are handled by outcome government still finding theirselves in the corridor of power?
How will such system work when rigging of election is the order.
How will the system work when "Godfatherism" is high against people's wish.
The developed countries are progressive and this is why they focus more on the next generation. They conduct election to produce the best candidate that will better the life's of children unborn.
The major difference is
Person and no institution: The less developed countries rely on person for governance. The president is usually seen as very powerful and overrides every other power both legislature and judiciary because of the way the system works. In Africa for example, the President controls every force arm against the checks and balances that is suppose to balance the system. One of the factors that makes that possible is that the President has the power of appointment (including armed forces, Anthony General and other very important offices in the country) and just for the confirmation of the the legislation. Where his appointment is turned down, he can reappoint and remember it is a system that allows lobbying.
Structure and institution: This is not same here. Structure and institutions are fortified so that no government can manipulate the system, policies without facing the law. This is a progressive system and a big difference.

The “Digital Nigeria” mobile app is available on playstore, enabling Nigerians to enroll in ICT courses within the comfort of their homes. Much of the content was provided through AfDB’s partnership with Microsoft. Students can download certificates after they complete the courses This is a great news for Nigerian people and especially those who are already in digital and cryptocurrency investment. This news is supporting the fact that the Nigerian government is heading towards diversifying the economy by opening it up to cryptocurrency space as they are following the global trend, joining the league of nations who are digital inclined. “This is a growing trend across the globe. The digital literacy and skills pillar recognizes the fact that citizens are the greatest assets in any economy, including the digital economy. It will support the development of a large pool of digitally literate and digitally skilled citizens” It is obvious that this is going to grow the economy technologically because people will learn and invest in the technological sector and blockchain. Also for the teaming youths who have not been able to fit into the government employment system would then be confident enough to build investment in that area because it is getting approval. Online education and blockchain will have enough boost with the launch of this app. I think Nigeria is getting it right lately in the technological sector with the minister. I watched the minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami being interviewed on a national television and I saw zeal to bring the economy up to speed to global digital economy. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techawkng.com/2020/09/28/federal-government-launches-digital-nigeria-portal-and-mobile-app/amp/Further to the app launch, I think it all supports the thread opened by CryptopreneurBrainboss earlier with the title: Breaking NEWS: SEC, Bitcoin now legal (a security) in Nigeria. The thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275844.0 |

Greater Hope For Nigeria
Oh ! Nigeria my country
Country flowing with milk and honey
With the most cherished nature's gift
Scattered all over her terrain, nook and crannies
But then, with her 6th ranked position
In the most world's cherished natural resources
She has shamelessly occupied the most abject situation
Subjects under squalor
Oh...
When are we going to have our people back
The aliens with our blood

Challenge is like a visitor that comes and it most go
What matters is how you treat the visitor while it is still there
Are you going through any challenge; whatever it is
Are you contemplating suicide? please don't
You don't need to, when you look outside
When you look close to your neighbour
You are not alone buddy
Nothing is new on the face of the earth
We all have hearts
I feel it breath when it moves
I feel it when it smiles when you show me love.
I feel it frown when you display hatred on me.
Is your heart in a box?
Whatever you are feeling, your heart feels it.
You are the only one to give your heart what it wants
What do you choose for your heart ?
Remember no body can finish everything they have in mind because after one, two is next
It is only Jesus Christ that finished all he came on earth to do
This is why he said it is finished.

The Bitcoin ATM Machines are being installed almost in every continent with some continent having large numbers and some very few numbers. You can see and read everything you want here about types of Bitcoin ATM Machines, countries locations, local districts where they are installed and how many, the addresses, manufacturers of the machines and the way they function, and any other thing you desire to know. There are two main types of Bitcoin machines: unidirectional (one-way) and bidirectional (two-way). Only about 30% of all crypto ATMs worldwide are bidirectional, and less than 23% in the U.S. Both types are connected to the Internet, allowing for cash purchase and/or sale of Bitcoin.  Locationshttps://coinatmradar.com/countries/Manufacturershttps://coinatmradar.com/manufacturers/Note: I searched the forum and couldn't see a thread on Bitcoin ATM Locations Worldwide/Manufacturers as comprehensive as this. I'm surprised though  Or maybe I didn't search well. If there is, then I will take this one down with humility  Thanks
Edit: I decided to allow it stay because it will be clearer for newbies |

Just recently we are beginning to have some Twitter campaign giving hunters reward in btc in the service section. This is one sure way to take off this muster that seem like a cancer called bounty scam.
I'm believing that gradually, will may start seeing the inclusion of other social media signatures like Facebook, LinkedIn, medium, article, videos, blogs and many more, coming up in both bounty section and service. I'm sure that hunters will prefer social media signature than the scam going on in the board.
I guess one reason that we are seeing that Twitter campaign is because of the audit which takes care of non real followers of an account. So if your Twitter account isn't made of real followers, you stand no chance of being selected. The audit is surely to check out accounts with fake followers and that is also good to stop scamming.

Neocolonialism is the recent emergence from colonialism. I want to agree that colonialism is a direct or physical domination of people especially against there will, knowing or unknowingly consenting or forcefully. But neocolonialism has nothing to do with physical presence or consenting as it may be, it involves either dependency (knowingly or not). Neocolonialism involves the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former dependencies or the control or domination by a powerful country over weaker ones (especially former colonies) by the use of economic pressure, political suppression and cultural dominance. The above explains neocolonialism as it relates to colony and her colonial country. However, neocolonialism has gone pass such simple narrative. Some developed countries too are facing this neocolonialism and other less developed countries are facing it with countries that have colonized them and also in the hands of world agencies like IMF, WHO, UNO, UNESCO etc. when they solicit for loan and other support because they give condition either to provide a certain percentage of manpower/professionals or condition for security. Most of the third world countries are being recolonized by this neocolonialism because they are solely dependent on technologically advanced countries for almost every aspect of life and they are also getting alculrated as they are jettisoning their own culture and tradition for cultures new to their system even when the home culture isn't outdated or against natural justice. Neocolonialism as I said earlier is not only on the countries that are technogically less developed. Hence, as far there is trading, buying and selling , a developed nation can also be a victim of neocolonialism by having spy in their midst and agent maybe
There is a super state that controls most of the world, and they appoint the governments of countries to benefit themselves.
That is right and it is called neocolonialism. They benefit themselves at the expense of the country as a whole and the masses suffer it more. Neocolonialism is not a symbiotic relationship but a master / servant relationship. .
This is one way that it can also happenhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5271464.msg55078849#msg55078849
Ways to know A country under the neocolonialism agenda are:
1. When a country can't process there raw material into any kind of utility goods they desire and also make use of its byproducts too. Countries that fall on this category are highly facing neocolonialism because they are going to be majorly an exporting country and that means they can't grow in GDP. They can't generate good foreign reserve. They can't grow there home industry and employment will be very high leading to many vices, unrest, economic and political instability. 2. Country that budget more percentage to recurrent expenditure/salaries rather than capital expenditure/projects. When you don't develop your roads, electricity, hospitals and other amenities, you don't grow economically and otherwise. 3. If your country travel alot to other countries. By doing this, they create jobs for the sectors being visited while providing foreign exchange for them and strengthing their currency because you have to convert to their currency, and that's making its demand higher. 4. When the country is surviving on loan from world organizations and countries. No country grows by servicing debt always. 5. A country that suffers from brain drain. This is because her best heads are scrabbling for greener pasture elsewhere because they are getting more incentive. 6.When your country is highly a consuming nation: You only get utility (by the way, utility in economies is when goods get to consumer as finished product or ready for consumption goods) when you transport raw material elsewhere for finished goods. 7.When your country is home to dumping of used technologies and products. Because the country can't produce them but desire them as means of survival. 8.When your country is always devaluing the currency. This is a sure signal because you get the advise that when you devalue, it takes care of inflation etc but that can work for a producing country not a dependent country. Solution for running out of dependency and neocolonialism1.Education: This is foundation to all because everything starts at this level which is the basis. It includes formal and informal 2. Develop your technology: This is also important because you can build, construct and maintain your amenities yourself and save cost, reduce expatriates. 3. Strive to become a manufacturing country: This is important to build a master/master trade relationship and not master/servant. You have equal bargaining and exchange power. 4. Zero tolerance for corruption: As always, a corrupt country will always be a retrogressing country. |

As flight seem to have gradually resumed It is not hidden that African "rulers" and political office holders especially from West Africa, go for medical terrorism (edit: tourism, sorry guys) to other continent for checkups and treatment. They are the major patronizers of these flights. Some of these countries have the resources to better the health care system of their zone but have not thought it fit to do the needful. I have identified the reasons that this calamity has befall the African health care system as :
1. Low budget to Health system: I mean this says it all. Most African government pay leap service to budget to health care. In fact, generally, they seem to be aloof to the functions of budgetary itself as some budget don't start running or operational by the identified calendar year , from January to December. This is why they would have very low budget to health sector. Mali for example has a very low budget for health and that is the reason hee health sector ranks the worst Africa. South Africa and Rwanda are topping in best talking about Africa. 2. Politics/decision: Obviously, health care issues have not been a top priority in the discuss of many Africa Country's Parliament 3.Poor Leadership and Management: Almost every aspect of Africa section is ill managed. People in charge are lackadaisical, they don't handle and treat facilities properly. 4.Corruption: If I don't single this point, corruption in a single file, then it means I'm not living in Africa Corruption is a big problem not only in Africa but in other continent. Any country that swims in corruption isn't going to move forward because corruption is a bane to progress. Here corruption involves diverting even the little budget made for health sector to personal property. Advise: If Africa and indeed West Africa moves away from corruption, more progress will be achieved. |

There are is a saying in my local parlance that, there are two places biologically designed for a man to eat from: 1: The mouth, and 2. Through the female sex organ About the number 2, I found through research that ginger and tumeric can help to give a man stamina and avoid easily spewing your liquid easily. For our information, if you don't gauge out your liquid fast you tend to enjoy your food very well and it makes the giver to serve it more. That makes you a real man. I hope you understand my parable. The parable is just to keep the thread descent just for our young users. I'm not sure this forum has a button to activate parental control lol. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6316093/ |

Nelson was sentenced to death for the kidnapping, sexual abuse and subsequent killing of a 10-year-old girl he took while she was rollerblading in front of her Kansas home. Nelson confessed to raping the girl and strangling her to death with a wire. How can an adult rape a minor of 10 and strangle her to death? Is this not heinous crime against humanity?
What is the point of strangling her with a wire, could she be struggling to attack Nelson or what?
A powerless little baby.The details here https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/08/27/politics/keith-dwayne-nelson-execution/index.htmlDo you think the confession is political or real ? |

Do you know why your data keep going down surprisingly? Surprisingly because it overwhelmes you when you rely on the data you have left but opening your phone to see a huge margin in difference to the data you think you have left. Have you witnessed it? This is the reason below, It is simply because there are secret installation (malfare). "You have all these wonderful features for cheap, but there is a hidden cost,” he told BuzzFeed News. “There are a lot of Chinese phones that have malware installed on it.” Mxolosi’s Tecno W2 was infected with xHelper and Triada, malware that secretly downloaded apps and attempted to subscribe him to paid services without his knowledge. They are installed on your phones especially phones from China that comes cheap in your eyes lol , but you pay from the other side through unsolicited data consumption. Typically, malware like Triada and xHelper requires someone to be tricked into installing it on their phones, rather than it coming straight from the factory. It’s often used to deliver invasive ads that send money back to whoever controls the malware. But it can also be used to install apps that subscribe the victim to paid services via monthly billing or prepaid data — siphoning cash directly from the phone’s owner. And this happens to any user of the phone despite your country because the word colonization wrongly gets people to focus on third world countries, no. This is digital colonialism. I find this helpful and you can read https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/craigsilverman/cheap-chinese-smartphones-malware |

The reason that boxers wear mouth guard are usually for protection from around the mouth from the research I have made, at least from the blog and few websites I visited  Different types mouth guards  https://blog.awma.com/5-reasons-mouth-guards-should-be-worn-in-martial-arts/https://harderpunch.com/why-do-boxers-wear-mouth-guards/However, beyond the reasons we have reviewed above, my hypothesis is therefore that I think the reasons are not only for physical protection but for psychology protection on the ring So you think the only reason that boxer wear mouth guard is to avoid bitting? No, I don't think so. I think it also extends to avoid them from cursing , from using abusive and fowl words on their opponent. If this is the case, I think maybe it makes the opponent to get more provoked and angry as anger has a way of making someone lose balance and control. If this is the case, I think by instructing the wearing of mouth guard as a rule, either the officials are trying to avoid the boxers from being more exposed to blows because they can go out of focused and concentration. Here, I think is not because of the rules of the game not to be violated but to help the opponent guard themselves because it will be chance or advantage for the opponent who is coursing to attack more. In sighting example, you could relate this with Muhammad Ali in his fighting days tried everything he could to muta some words to his opportunity and that further provoked them on one side or frustrate them because they kind of lose focus I think this my phycho-political hypothesis can go a long way to help you think deeply on the reasons they cover their mouth beyond just avoiding dental damage. This is a self made hypothesis from a deep thought. |

I don't have a choice than to come on here. I have been on red from Lauda since last November 8th, on the allegation that I applied on Lauda's campaign while being on SMS list. At that time, I just finished from these 2 SMAS campaigns https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2130967.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2189942.0. I sent a first PM to Lauda after being on red for 3months, pleading to let me go off the red but didn't get a response. On this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2945878.msg30325625#msg30325625 , from page 10 to 13 , I raised the issue of my plea but Lauda responded that I should PM once Shorena removes his own negative. I quote from the thread.... " PM me once Shorena removes my own negative". I don't know who is Shorena and why he gave red neg to Lauda... should I be punished for another person's issue? Is that the way this forum should be ran? The next PM was about a week/ or two after I didn't get a response from the first. The reply I got was that, it was early, I should stop PMing frequently. This was close to 4months and just 2 PMs. Now, Lauda has blocked me from appealing through PM. I have been on red since 5 months because I "ignorantly" applied in a campaign. How fair can this forum be? I plead that Lauda be reached. I appeal openly , I don't intend users to use this medium to abuse any party. I just want the red neg off. How long more will I wait for Shorena to take of Lauda's red neg. Or, is Lauda using me to get to Shorena...This is just unfair to me. I'm appealing because I honestly didn't know I was on any list and this is 5 months. |

I was shocked to realize that I was negged by lauda after I applied to the campaign - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2222129.msg24208521#msg24208521 today at 02:37:10am Lauda' s allegation is that I was on an SMAS list before applying. Sincerely, Lauda must have mistaken me with other users because my account was not negged before I applied to the campaign. In fact, I just finished with a campaign with Trippki, managed by Krach barely 24 hours and have just made 2 posts before applying to coinpay managed by Lauda. Admin can verify from the trippki campaign managed by krach - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2294741.msg24189926#msg24189926. My account was clean after the campaign. For the records, I have not had any issue with any manager nor Lauda. Lauda is the only name I can find in my account that negged me. I have not been negged before prior to the allegation on me which is not the fact. I eventually came to this thread because lauda has blocked me from sending pm to appeal via pm. My appeal to admin therefore is that, I need a help to undo the neg. on my account, anybody who can get to lauda should help me appeal, it is a mistaken judgement on me. I don't intend users to take this as a medium for fowl comments please, I just wish my account back because I'm sincerely innocent of the allegation. It will be injustice if my account stays on red for an allegation I'm totally innocent of, thanks admin and Lauda. Hope for a peaceful resolution. |

I like to ask if there is any correlation between bitcoin and festive seasons. For instance, I understand that during major festive season, just as Christmas is approaching, the exchange rate for paper money especially dollars,euro and pounds exchange for local currency usually increases to the favour of the foreign currencies. So my question is, do that happen that bitcoin also increases in major festive period? Like Christmas....
