You must have 50 earned merits to vote

why is it called the community awards when some set of people are not allowed to vote?

I feel the same too because it is discrimination and irrelevant. You want to tell us that only those who have gotten that 50 merits are the real members or most intelligent ones of this forum? To say the truth, nobody should be treated that way because of merit load.

For supporting a team 4 di world cup, I go support Argentina and Senegal, but make we watch di matches first before pesin go kno where to put head.

You don see as the matter be na abi? Game weh Senegal hold down well till 83rd minutes and they allowed it slipped by. Not only that, they conceded another goal, making it 2 goals to nothing in less than 10mins to the end of the match. My brother me I no deh support any Africa team o because I no want to give myself unnecessary BP. I want to watch the matches without any emotions attached to it. Nobody fit kill me with high BP.

Great performance by the England team against Iran. Of course, the English were the favorites in this match, but I did not expect such a dominance. It may sound strange, but the result of 6-2 does not fully reflect the advantage and control that England had in this match.

Iran is not a footballing nation. England should not flex its muscles and rejoice that it got victory over Iran. Infact, the Three lions are in a very easy group and I expect them to make it through the group stage. The only country I guess can give them a tough time is the USA. But seeing that Wales shared the spoil today with USA in a goalless encounter makes me think again that Wales is also in competition to disgrace any country it confronts.

Sadio Mane might not be on that team, but Senegal has talented players who can advance the team to the next round even without him.

That is what I also tell those who think the Senegalese team revolves only around Sadio Mane. That is not true. For those who hope the team should be without him, they should also imagine that any of the opposing teams will be without their key players too. We must not wish someone ill luck because we want success for ourselves. Let every team be with their best players, we want to see entertaining football and not some one sided and disadvantaged game. Am eager to see their match with Netherlands.

That thread no dey in anyway associated with FIFA so FIFA never adopt Bitcoin if not e for dey all over the news.

Na the thing be that. Maybe our brother Agbe deh mistake individual participation of FIFA officials for  that thread to represent the complete FIFA as an organization. But you don clear the matter for every body now.

I deh support Ukraine. Make FIFA just make sure say them carry that cup. Abeg before anybody come say I no know wetin deh sub say Ukraine no follow, I know all that. I don see where this kind thing happen before. For dream. The team no play but them win gold medal.

While I don't think the current economic situation is hitting casinos as hard as other kind of businesses.

It is expected that casinos will continue to do well whenever the economy is bad as people continue to gamble thinking it will bring them solution. World economies will never get good and buoyant for every body. There are those that will be left out. This is why casinos and gambling outfits will continue to exist. Every business that is not about putting money in other people's pockets will suffer whenever the economy gets bad. But not casinos. The only thing that can make casinos suffer is government policy.

Also, I think there is a very high probability that it is a fake news made to influence betting predictions. Legal investigation should be initiated against whoever made this claim.

There is always a little truth in every rumour. We should not conclude it is a fake news. FIFA should look into that accusation eventhough Qatar lost the opening match to those they were accused of attempting to bribe. I believe something went on there and should be investigated and not swept off like that. It will be really bad for Qatar if they are guilty of it. It is not enough to reject alcohol while you commit other immoral acts.

The bull run is here. ALTCOINS are going to blow up soon.. Happy to see some of my alts I bought on FAMEEX are just pumping. Matic and optimism just making me smile this morning

Do not be surprised when your altcoins start dumping because that is the nature of cryptocurrency. It is even happening right now and I guess your tokens are also affected. As for Matic, I want to hope it will continue to do well despite the bearish situation in the market. Matic has several new projects that are on queue for its chain and we shall see that effect on its market price soon.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How important is fiat to Bitcoin? on: November 20, 2022, 09:17:39 PM
Lately, I've seen so many bitcoin holders speak so badly of fiat and how much they wouldn't want to associate themselves with fiat usage if possible,

That is not right. They do not have to force it to happen because that will mean they are fighting for bitcoin to remain relevant but are forcing fiat to die off. If things are seen that way it will be partiality, not just only with bitcoin but every other aspect of life. We have to allow this things happen naturally so we can pick the best among them.

Not too long ago, I saw a video of a 12yr old girl on social media happily displaying her baby bump, and I was like WTF???

WTF really? That is child pregnancy. 12 yr old is still a minor. How is it even possible for a 12year old to get pregnant? I will like to read that story if you still have a link to where you read it. I hope it is not in Africa it happened because we have alot of teenage pregnancies. Some even abandon the babies once they put to bed but I haven't seen or heard of any that is that young. 12years is still a child.

People take to gambling when the economy becomes tough like we have everywhere in the country now. They think gambling creates more and easy chances of making money and they go patronising them.
Let's just hope that people don't think like that of using gambling to make money because it's really hard to do.

But this is the reason why people go into gambling and no one can deny it. They believe gambling will make them come into new wealth so they can have an easy life style with alot of women chasing them and enough booze to go round for them. Women love wealth, cars, wine, they love good material and flashy things. This is what money can do. And those who take to gambling to achieve that easy money do not often get lucky. Rather the little they have is taken away from them by the casinos through losses.
353  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Where would Twitter go after its takeover by Elon Musk ? on: November 20, 2022, 03:25:14 PM
When I anticipated Twitter's demise, I had not factored in the employees packing up their bags and leaving the company to rot now that they had to actually do work instead of being paid to chat. I can only assume this will accelerate the downfall.

If they haven't been doing actual work then it wouldn't matter if they leave. Have you been reading too much of Elon's self-aggrandizing tweeterage? Now that's a person who needs to "chat" less and work more. Starting from figuring out how a company he paid $40 billion of OPM for actually functions.

Maybe Elon gets his inspiration from chatting. It was the same thing Trump did while he was president of the USA, always on Twitter chatting and alot of people thought he should not be chatting because he was president and as a president it was beneath him to do so. Now we know how those people were wrong. Old Joe who does not chat much can not outperform chatty Trump.

we can expect from this world cup to be the most corrupt event in the Soccer history.

It is going to be the most controversial world cup event held, not just corrupt. I said controversial because there are going to be more revelations on what the country does not want or what it wants FIFA to do more. Already we heard about the ban on alcohol at the world cup by Qatar. It feels it can do anything it wants because it has the ticket and the world cup starts today. Qatar knows FIFA can not back out now even when the conditions are not favourable to them.
355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to prevent cheating in a game on: November 19, 2022, 06:55:08 AM
I could remember back then as kids we get carried away in any game that we play due to the excitement we derive from the game,therefore we look for a way to cheat in other to win the game.

What you said there is typical playing games with friends and maybe with family members. I did it also as a teenager and it was purely for fun, especially with WHOT, dice, Ludo and other flip games. It is fun doing that but most times it did not involve money. With modern type of gambling and casinos, it will not be easy to cheat fellow players. Instead it is the casinos that can cheat players.
356  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Where would Twitter go after its takeover by Elon Musk ? on: November 19, 2022, 06:37:08 AM

What is happening at Twitter now is expected. You do not expect someone like Elon Musk to spend such a huge amount of cash on an app and not dictate what will happen there or fire some people, especially those who he felt prevented free press. Twitter will be in a better position with Elon running its control than it was. More changes are expected in time to come too.

It's almost inevitable for Elon Musk to be a dictator in some way. To be honest, I don't care whether dictatorship is good or not generally. As long as it does work in its own way, I have no problem. If all the changes have continued in a good way, Twitter will be great.

Whatever Elon Musk does with Twitter should not be seen as dictatorship. Anyone who feels that it is will only be hurting himself. It is his money and business and he should do whatever it takes to keep it going. If staff feel they are not happy with his decision they can leave on their own or get fired. There is no one that can put that type of cash on an investment and want to be soft with decisions. Businesses are not conducted like that or else it will collapse.

How do you think online casinos and sports betting platforms are adjusting to manage the situation?

People take to gambling when the economy becomes tough like we have everywhere in the country now. They think gambling creates more and easy chances of making money and they go patronising them. There are new casinos and gambling sites springing up everyday and I guess this present hardship helps their businesses.
358  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: November 18, 2022, 06:07:48 PM
I don't think, such thing will happen again come 2023, because the U.S government has given a sound warning to Nigeria leaders who used to come to their country to do business
Bros I beg no dey talk like say u no dey this country na USA won come stop this desperate politicians dem not to rig election, is like u dey forget say rigging of election na only wetin Nigeria don dey practice since no be free and fair election. USA just dey talk make e b say as world power them talk.

Even me too deh shocked when Zanab247 talk that thing say America go intervene for our election. That one no fit happen because America too know wetin sovereignty means. Except during war that they can rush in, without that every country deh respect the other sovereignty o. The highest thing weh America fit do na to send election observers and then write bad report if them think say e no go well free and fair. Our election na our own. We no supposed slack or rely on America or any foreign bodies to help us control bad leadership in Naija.
359  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: November 18, 2022, 09:52:09 AM
Reminder that communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet, with the hope that will change soon.

And we expect the change to be sooner than its time. Those yet to be made local boards have busy activities and theymos should look into them, especially Nigeria. We have healthy discussions and topics going on in our local thread. We are a country that loves Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Again, following up this monthly reports with the tables has made me know some of the members here and their countries of origins. Keep it up Rikafip.

Elon Musk acquired Twitter about two weeks agao and Twitter has been All the news everywhere. His bold moves of firing a big portion of staff, changing major Twitter features and making more modifications are spurring waves of controversy. His supporters and adversaries are quite in fights. Where will Elon Musk lead Twitter ? Is Twitter heading to a wrong direction ?

What is happening at Twitter now is expected. You do not expect someone like Elon Musk to spend such a huge amount of cash on an app and not dictate what will happen there or fire some people, especially those who he felt prevented free press. Twitter will be in a better position with Elon running its control than it was. More changes are expected in time to come too.
