Africans should be always independent, whether economically or politically. Don't worry, they will do just fine.

Africa's problem is not that it is dependant on foreign countries economically or politically. Its problem is the corruption that continent has allowed to grow among its citizens. Corruption has killed Africa. It lives with us now and those at the leadership position are not willing to do anything about it. It even benefits them because there is nobody to call them to questioning. In my country, nobody takes any indictment of public office holders seriously because we know they will let them go once money exchanges hand. The legal system is so corrupt that criminals are let off the hook if they can offer bribe money to judges.

That's why inflation is a terrifying thing for aging people.  

I guess someone like you will have alot of bitcoin and bitcoin is immune to inflation. It should be appreciating as times goes on. There is not much you should be worried about.

Money is for both survival and luxury. But survival comes first because one has to eat first before exhibiting themselves which is where luxury comes in. Survival makes up the three basic needs of man which includes food, shelter and clothing.

We are in a period of increasing recession expectations. In such periods, demand decreases in the markets and real buyers become stronger.

People will tell you that whatever decreases in demand during recession will not be food stuffs because people must eat whether the situation is fine or not. We get to find people on the streets begging for food, and nothing else. It is reasonable because everyone want to stay alive and if they do not have money for food, begging becomes an option for them. No one begs you on the streets for money to buy gadgets or cars but food. Food demand does not decrease.

I only used forum rank for first and second place. BTW, that was the only month we had two members with the same post count in first and second place. Isn't that a reasonable criterion?

What of if the two weh come first come be the same rank, wetin them go take differentiate them?

As for the discussion on reward, poll dun dey up as usual for everyone to cast their vote while staying anonymous. E belike people no wan contribute as e go belike dem be bad belle if dem no support the motion so to make things easier, make we see where the majority stand.

Am not sure na the reason of who them support go make them no vote there. After all shebi two people voted the shaky shaky hand man of agbado kingdom with poisoned holy communion. The thing go fit be say people no deh aware say poll deh up there. So e go good to they remind members from time to time like this weh you do am now. Thank you.

That N800+ per dollar weh them put for Emefiele head supposed enter N1k+ before next year. That man na the worst among past CBN governors. No be worst because of how the naira take fall yakata but because of how him take allow politicians dey use am. You can imagine a sitting governor of the central bank running for a political election as presido. The old man no get shame at all. Him be wetin we deh call agbaya oloriburuku.

Also how una go feel if we put small reward for this monthly stats so, like only the first position gets a reward? Like $10 or 10Merit or both kind of encouragement.

Your suggestion deh good. To prevent spamming weh fit enter am, the cash reward go deh cancelled. Make e bi only something like merit and the merit go be through post review. And the review no go be on just posts weh the person make for this thread. Infact make e no even concern posts here. But na who want to deh put the merit self since na only one merit source we get for here?
386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We Feel All The Emotions When We Gamble on: November 10, 2022, 02:18:26 PM
But feeling depressed is not good. Punters should look for means to gamble but avoid depression. This can be done with risking the amount you can lose and not think about it if lost but still feeling happy.

No matter how small the gamblers should gamble from the money he will not miss, when he loses he will still feel the loss. Money is the major thing that can mess up our emotions. And that is why we feel happy whenever we have more of it but sad when we are broke. It does not matter how small we place on bet. The mood change is even worse for beginner gamblers who think there is a short to making more.
387  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Power Or Money ? on: November 10, 2022, 02:07:08 PM

But there is power that is far greater than money, and doesn't have anything to do with money. For example, there are a reasonable number of people who have used tons of money to get cured from cancer. But the doctors couldn't do it. Then, the people got well naturally.

The power of nature is different than and more powerful that money.

That is the supernatural power showing itself when it matters most. That is God doing it. That is what you described there. I do not know what faith you practise or what your beliefs are but am telling you that such illness as cancer does not heal by itself naturally like that. There must be a super imposition on the natural for that to happen outside medical cure.
388  Economy / Economics / Re: Always ask bargain for prices never pay full specially now on: November 10, 2022, 12:09:48 PM
Now it's time to ask prices to go Lower.
Times like this i go shop or anywhere i always say' it's economic down turn can i get cheaper price.
I allready called to my landlord to make my rent much cheaper.
It's times of economic bad times so now you can ask cheaper prices of anything always.

The high cost of goods and services is everywhere. The world is experiencing bad economy as inflation continues to damage the standard of our living. You asking for cheaper prices from sellers is not bad but will they accept to reduce price since they too will claim they are also hit by the inflation. Everybody is looking for a way to make profit. Most landlords are even increasing rents and you are talking of begging yours to reduce it. You must have a good landlord if he agrees to reduce rent for you.
389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do? on: November 10, 2022, 11:42:27 AM
If it didn't happen that he won this can go as far as causing some problem for the both pals when the bettor will think the friend should think he would be crazy betting with that huge amount and couldn't change the bet. He may say he was high while doing the betting that he should know. What I'm saying is just that he is angry because it happen to be a win but losing he could have realized what help got from the friend.

Eventhough Op said this was just an drama, it can still happen in real life. If that type of thing has not happened before but was only acted, nothing says it can not still happen in future. And you are correct about what you said when it comes to our reactions to winning and losing money in betting. If we stay out or bet small and the bet loses, we are happy. But if we did not play a bet and it wins, we feel sad. This is to show you that man always loves winning but forgetting that when you win, someone loses.
390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: SOCCER TIPS for the Weekend! on: November 07, 2022, 11:53:54 AM

60% win rate is still above average and that is profit for anyone achieving that. You got it twice and if that continues this thread is about to be flooded with excitement from soccer bettors. But I found out that there is no inclusion of any league in Africa in your predictions. Is there any reason you skipped that?
391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can we see a huge rise in the price of Dogecoin ? on: November 07, 2022, 05:34:38 AM
We don't know but if he really likes Dogecoin to the point of accepting it for his companies, he should have done that long time ago with Tesla and Space X and with any other ventures that he got.
I'm doubting that he'll be accepting directly payments with Dogecoin but it's likely that he'll allow some third party services that will be integrated with Twitter to accept payments in doge or any other crypto.

It can be that maybe Elon Musk wants to keep a different profile with Tesla and other companies he runs from Twitter, that is likely why he will accept Dogecoin as means of payment on his Twitter platform but not on all others. He was twitting about Dogecoin long before he bought Twitter and I do not see why he will want to stop now. On the announcement that he had bought it, price of Dogecoin went up and gave holders a new faith in the coin. It is a good investment to buy that coin now as I do not see it dumping. Buy, wait and sell when you think price has increased enough.
392  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Smokers are liable to die young on: November 07, 2022, 03:05:17 AM
Yeah that's why I never said smokers have possibility to die young but yes smoking have its life damaging effects that no one can deny. The lung damage ,the smokers cough they are real and visible symptoms in all smokers.

People who are non smokers also die from damage of the lungs and other related diseases. Diseases sometimes come even when you have a clean lifestyle. I do not know why it is so. Children dying from lung cancers, are we to say they are smokers too? Will you will say they inhaled dangerous substance? Smoking is a lifestyle just like living in a skyscraper is. It does not mean everyone will fall off the building even if one jumps through the window and dies from it before your eyes, there will still be people who will not be scared of living there.
393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum is centralized, can we trust it anymore? on: November 07, 2022, 02:34:37 AM
Although, I also see the ethereum fee has decreased, but I think it is because of the price drop and the transaction in the market is not too congested, so the gas fee has decreased a lot, not because of the upgrade.

Ethereum transaction fees dropped because of the upgrade and not because of any drop in market price. We know what it used to be when Ethereum was less than $500 and how the fee was crazy. Even when projects, both old and new, started moving to the Binance Smartchain contract, Ethereum fee still remained high and was killing it gradually until this upgrade happened. If only you have an idea of how many projects that abandoned ERC because of that fee problem.
394  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your take on this?? on: November 06, 2022, 07:05:54 PM
Come on, nobody's going to buy this story about how it's all some secret test of Christian morals. Roll Eyes

Maybe that is also another way of looking at the story to teach morals to a world filled with vices and materialism. Today's people are lovers of money and themselves. So there has to be fictions with stories to counter such level of greed in today's living.


I like your review. related to the story in the Op, however, I will not comment on religious ones.

There is nothing wrong with discussing religion. Doing what is right is morality and that is what religion should be all about.
395  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Leaders And Readers on: November 06, 2022, 05:30:51 PM
Nobody knows how much understanding of God Russian people have.

Am not sure how Russia got into this thread because OP is not about the war going on between it and Ukraine.

The point is, if Putin and the Russian people get back to a correct understanding of God and Jesus-salvation, God will use them to wake up American Christians. The process might not be a happy one. Nobody likes being forced to believe, by the factual evidence, that he was wrong.

The correct understanding of God should be for everyone, it is not only the Russian people. If the world understand the good in believing and trusting in God there will be no wars. People will not have to die for what they did not cause. War is a terrible thing.
396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is the bear market over? on: November 06, 2022, 05:15:24 PM

It's possible that the recent increase in the value of some popular cryptocurrencies is just a trap, because we are still in a bad situation right now, it's too soon to say the bear market is over, I hope I'm wrong.

Yes I hope you are wrong too because we have seen that the price of bitcoin is gradually stabilizing above $19,000. It is at $21,200 now. If it continues to remain above that level a few days more it will be clear to not sell. Anyone selling even now will regret it. Take a position now and buy the little you can.

It's too early to say that the bear is over or the bull is back.

I disagree that it is too early to say that, we have seen enough sign for the end of the bear because price has remained above its last low for this year for weeks now. I do not see it going back to $17,000.

Quote from: News.bitcoin.com
Others will reportedly get exposed to the Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) ecosystem.

Why are they being exposed to the Fake Satoshi Dr. Wright BSV blockchain in the first place? This does not sit right with me. Why would NITDA want to train Nigerians in the BSV blockchain rather than the actual Bitcoin blockchain? Dr. Wright is a con artist, a liar, and a thief impersonating Satoshi Nakamoto. BSV is nonsense.

You see as them deh expose themselves say they no truly understand wetin bitcoin and blockchain be? Make them continue deh waste our money on eye services. Where the e-naira project deh now? Shebi that one don deh die a natural death small small. Wetin this people deh do deh pain me enter bone. If we talk as e deh bi e go bi like say we like to deh expose our country like that.
398  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: No social media is safe on: November 06, 2022, 01:53:54 PM
On the third that he persuaded me to invest more money so that I will earn bigger

This is where thieves catch newbies easily because they know that at the mention of bigger gain they will rush in. Anyone can promise you anything online but first mark sure they have a track record you can trust. Since he chatted with you on WhatsApp that means you have his number. Trace the number and know how you can track him.

I think we must be careful about the social media accounts we have so that we can use them well and with security we can use

The story in the OP has nothing to do with security of social media account. It talked about how op got scammed and it was greed that caused it.
399  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you have anyone you trust? on: November 05, 2022, 04:40:36 PM
There'll always be that one person that you'll still have trust for it might start from little but it'll eventually grow.

This is the position in everyone's life. No matter how bad you have been treated by life and its challenges, there must be that one person you can still trust. Those who have had their trust broken and are hurt from it are the worst hit because their sad experience will keep coming back to them whenever they want to loosen up. But no man can live alone and that is why they say a tree does not make a forest.
