I think the most negative aspect of this will be the high crime rates / Corrupt government officials / Africa time at which things are done.... but high unemployment help to keep wages lower.... so we can have gardeners and cleaners etc.... that we cannot afford in 1st world countries. These people would not have had an income if we were not there... so we bring employment opportunities to help them support their families.  Wink
To be honest, corrupt government officials are the reason foreign companies flourish and do well in Nigeria. They can easily bribe to bypass environmental laws and the natural order of things. The companies come to Africa because they can make exploit the people, we don’t need them they need us. The salaries they pay their workers are below standard, the workers don’t have proper healthcare. Foreign companies have the freedom than in the United States.

Apart from the correct government officials, the Nigerian system itself is not complicated. Every law and order was created to be friendly with everyone. Even if they were to pay the necessary fees, it will not be huge compared to what happens in outside countries.
If our leaders could be 50% good compared to their mates outside Africa, Nigerian will be a heaven.

When these foreigners come to Nigerian, they respect every order and laws because at first they aren't rigid. But my fellow country men will find a way to discredit their fellow Nigerians or poison the heart of the foriegn investors.
For instance, there is a Chinese company in my country that sales phones, phones accessories and electronics. I was a branch manager of the company. When this country first came, they rent 3 bed room apartments for their managers, supervisors and maintenance managers. They pay flight tickets for the staff for monthly meetings. But it didn't last long that they changed their minds and stopped providing accommodations, every staff uses bus to go Lagos for monthly meetings which take like 8 - 11hrs. Salaries reduced and yet they are recording more sales.
They were asked to join the system but they are making much more money.

Nigeria is a land of freedom to the best of my knowledge.

Make I SHOCK you full time!
Even if Peter Obi succeed become Nigerian President, he will change NOTHING. Absolutely, he cannot do anything.

My brother, abeg make we no deh get this type of mindset. Optimism deh good for progress, and as people weh go school small e deh necessary for us. Wetin make you think say Obi no go fit defeat the cabals if he is prepared for it. You no see how Adams Oshomole take tackle them for Edo State for him first tenure before he messed up for second tenure? Na strong will e need to do am.
My brother, difference dey between optimism and deceit. E just be like say I tell you say after theymos be the admin of this bitcointalk na you be the next person, you say make we dey optimistic and you begin work towards it. Things no dey work like that. I don monitor Nigerian politics from 1999, wey I don sabi something till today, nothing come out.
If say Obi mistakenly go yesterday primaries of PDP na 25 votes him for get. Him sef sabi, na why him japa.
Make I still shock you again, if Atiku fail for 2023 and returns back 2027 to contest for PDP ticket, na him go still win.

Everything show, na we wan dey optimistic in vain. Go check poster, all these big men dem, their children don win tickets for Assembly, Senators, Governors etc. Dem don use their children position to succeed them. Politics na their private sector, entitlement and their inheritance, you no fit change am.
This country is not for us, na for them, my prayer be say make God pity us put person wey go give us back this country. Amen!

I haven't heard such thing as Harry Kane is getting prepared to sign a new contract with Tottenham. But they are much better now and we are going to be able to watch Tottenham in the Champions League too. For this reason, I guess that Harry Kane would be likely to stay longer here. He already has two more years on his current contract with the team so there is nothing to worry for Tottenham now as it seems. I think that Harry Kane really believes in Conte to make them become more successful in time.

Conte is already having a good time in Tottenham. He has shown that he could do something in the future. The team is more formidable now and they can comfortably win matches which cannot be said of them before now.
Apart from how good a team plays, another factor that keeps big players is the relationship between the player and the coach. I think Conte is having a good relationship with the boys and they are happy.
Harry should spend more time in Spurs that he is the king, no one predicts football. He could easily turn to Hazard in another club.

We are only hours away from the Champions League final. I'm sure the teams are already fully prepared for the match, on one side Liverpool, who are hungry to win the cup because they failed last time, on the other side Real Madrid, who are the king of this cup and this season they are very strong. I think we will see a lot of goals
If you are saying about strong, I think this is one of the seasons that Real Madrid went very far without being in a good form. Real Madrid were not considered strong from beginning. They started poor but they scaled through. I don't think that they are in this finals because they are strong, I think they are here because they are lucky and experienced. I said luck because they were not better than Psg, Chelsea and Man City but they dramatically eliminated these teams. So, experience and Champions League aura is what is guiding Madrid.
And luckily Benzema is in his prime this season.

I have checked for my name in the list but I couldn't find, even in the Drive file. I knew I received 4 merits from Ognasty after I signed a message. Though my application stayed for upto a month but was later granted, when Ognasty said he ran out of smerits. It could be that the statistics is for one thread, I know he runs two of similar threads. One for signing messages and the other for sending encrypted messages. It is fine to know that the thread helped many newbies.

Some people said that the thread also helped alts. This can be true but what happens is that he sends the merit once, so someone who cannot grow his account will still face challenges after the merit award.

With the exposure given me by internet, I have decided that no matter how rich I will be in this life, I will not fail to live in my country Nigeria. Work may take me outside the country, but I will surely come back to Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country of freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of religion, freedom of business.

Let me discussion this economic wise and safety wise.

Economic wise!
My brother worked for Cavaton Helicopters in Lagos State Nigeria. He has a senior colleague and friend from U.S by name Brown. Mr. Brown lived like a president in Lagos. He solves peoples problems, no matter what, in as much as it is financially related. Brown was paid in dollars but he later opened a Nigerian account and asked the company to be paying him in Nigeria currency. When Brown was asked why he did so, he said that the money he uses to pay the taxes in U.S even when he works in Nigeria, is very much. It was after opening a Nigerian account that he started using the same amount of money for taxes in U.S for charity in Lagos Nigeria. Mr. Brown relocated his family to Nigeria because of total freedom.
In Nigeria, you can start a company and operate it for years without registering the company, that is the kind of freedom enjoyed in Nigeria.

In terms of Safety:
The safest cities are Abuja(The country's capital) and Lagos State (the country's commercial capital).
When an average Nigerian sees a white man as we call them, there is this feeling of seeing a demi-god. I have seen where white guys are giving express attentions in banks, traffic, malls, etc. The preferential treatment only is a prestige given Kings.

Then if you try to take a wife in Nigeria, you are entitled to be crowned a real king Grin.
Well as others have said $1500 is a way too big money in Nigeria. I used the internet to understand that a range of $7 to $15 is the minimum wage of Americans per hour. I don't know how true this is, and an average American works 44 hrs per week. If this data is any where near correct, it means that 15 multiplied by 44 will give about $660 per week. Which is a way small compared to $1500.

Infact relocate to Nigeria, contact me and I will take you to an area (not 100% urban), with your one year pay, we can buy a mini city, make it a bitcoin city, and you will be the king if the city Grin

Ancelotti was announced starting line up for champion league final that there were several name who has rarely played in this season like Bale and Hazard although these players probably will play as substitute players but Liverpool have to be careful with them especially if they are in good form because not impossible they will appears as super subs especially Bale that he is the player who shattered Liverpool's dreams to get the trophy in the previous final on 2018

Even though Bale and Hazard are in the lineup I don't think it's a threat Liverpool's capacity is unquestionable other than that Bale and Hazard have played in the EPL so it's nothing new. I think Ancelotti has other plans by including Bale and Hazard he wants to disrupt Liverpool's strategy or break Liverpool's concentration on some of the main players.
Whatever strategy Ancelotti is coming with, I know he cannot and will never experiment with tomorrow's finals. Ancelotti cannot cannot start tomorrow's match without Vinicius, Benzema, Kroose, Modric and Casemiro.
So, whatever plans or strategies he has should play out from 70mins. That is the football and how it will be.
Meanwhile, eyes are on Salah and Benzema as the hit men for tomorrow's match but I am so much convinced that the hit men will be Vinicius and Diaz. The two young stars will steal the show tomorrow.
1829  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: May 27, 2022, 12:23:16 PM
Buhari as a person meant very well for Nigeria

I no gree this one at all. Shebi we saw how he started in 2015, at least before he got that sick. Which better thing weh him do to talk say him na better person? He immediately started by marginalizing the zones weh no vote for am. Abeg, Buhari na the problem of this country. He does not forgive, and he can defend anything north against any region and na wetin we deh see now.

2. Obi na one candidate wey never get stain of corruption for him body yet to Nigeria politics. If him be president e for make sense sha.
3. PDP dey want make Obi become running mate to Atiku again for this election and Obi no gree.
4. Obi never announce him new party yet, but him no get chances for Labour Party. If him wan be serious contender, make em consider NNPP, Kwankwaso go help him pull force for North.

Everything weh you talk here make sense well to me. And na better decision Peter Obi take by dumping PDP. Na jackals full there like them deh for APC. Na politicians for those two major parties keep this 9ja for this mess weh we deh.
You know why you no believe wetin I talk about Buhari say him initially get Nigeria for good mind? Because you sabi the politics wey play Buhari down.
You know why you believe say wetin I talk about Peter Obi dey correct because you sabi Peter Obi and you love him too.

Make I SHOCK you full time!
Even if Peter Obi succeed become Nigerian President, he will change NOTHING. Absolutely, he cannot do anything.

Make I clear you full time, Nigeria problem just be like a computer system. Even if the CPU good and the monitor no good, the computer no good, even if the monitor good but keyboard no good, the computer still bad.
If Obi becomes president, he will first fight the canals and defeat before he could apply his policies. But I bet you he will not win the cabals.

Well, the cut the story short, the only thing wet go correct this abnormalities, na #Ends EndSars Pro or Restructuring. Unless Obi go enter today and quickly restructure the government. But if you continue with the faulty foundation, men go loot you reach your dinning table.

Roma 1 - 0 Feyenoord


Feyenoord had more possession of good and greater attack throughout the game, but they were not effective in attack,
It is not that the Feynoord attackers were not effective in the attack, atleast they made decent efforts, they had more goals on target, they hit goal post at some times. So it is good to say that they were not lucky and also to say that Mourinho's men played their master's defensive strategy very well.
To be very honest, I enjoyed this finals more than the Europa League finals. The game was lively and entertaining throughout.

Congratulations to Mourinho for having the record of winning all the 3 trophies in major European competitions: Europa Conference league,  Europa League  and the Champions league.  No matter what, he is still a master class.
1831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Final! on: May 25, 2022, 09:47:55 PM
Neither Liverpool nor Real Madrid have an equal chance of winning the Champions League trophy this year, because both have good players
who support to win the Champions League trophy. What is decisive is how the playing strategy will be shown by the two teams,
we will see the strategies of Real Madrid or Liverpool that have proven effective. Because both teams have great and experienced coaches,
so I'm really looking forward to how the playing strategy will be used by the two coaches. I predict the two teams will not change their playing
strategy much, especially Real Madrid will rely on Benzema to win the game. So if Liverpool defenders can limit Benzema's movement, I believe
Real Madrid will have a hard time scoring goals. Due to Real Madrid's weakness so far they have relied too much on Benzema. So if Benzema
doesn't play or plays badly, usually Real Madrid struggles to win.
Real madrid has a squad that is quite strong this season in attack. Vinicius and Rodrygo are Benzema partners on the front lines who are very hungry for goals and are able to trouble the opponent's back row. I don't think Real Madrid will only rely on Benzema this season because Vinicius and Rodrygo have been very important points for Real Madrid this season. So I don't think the Liverpool defender will stop Benzema's movement, but he must be able to kill both sides of Vinicius and Rodrygo.
What happens to some of us is that we watch football but we don't understand what is actually happening in football. There is no doubt, Benzema is the hit man of Real Madrid and the squad is built around him, he delivers when needed and he scores brilliant goals as if he is younger than 30. But we need to understand that it will be more damaging to Real Madrid if Benzema should be present but Vinicius absent.
It is Vinicius who makes the runs through defenders, he disorganises the opposition team to give Benzema good opportunities to score.
What is said about Vinicius can also be said about Rodrygo. The most interesting thing is that we are going to witness a good finals on Saturday, but any slight mistake from any side may lead to their end.
1832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa Conference League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Final! on: May 25, 2022, 08:24:09 PM
Good luck to Roma in the coming second half. Good first half approach from this Roma side another goal to seal the victory.  Although Feyenoord have been the better side keeping more possession and leading dangerous attacks. With the way Feyenoord have been playing and making some flipping passes into Roma penalty area, I feel they have plans to equalize and change their game. At same time, Roma needs to score more goals and keep their defense in order.
This game is pretty not over yet and there is stil a very good chance for Feynoord to equalise this match. The Feynoord players are pressuring the Roma boys and are making good attempts on goal. It will not be a surprise to see a goal from Feynoord in this second half. It seems that Roma is purely confused as they have lost their pattern, the only option left for them is to initial a counter attack with Tammy Abraham and Zaniola and see if a good result will emanate.
Meanwhile the pressure is much in Roma box, I am looking upto Mourinho to prove his expertise in defending.

Attention, soon it will start at Chelsea FC. +230 million euros are available for transfers and with that you can buy very good players. The British government has cleared the takeover of Chelsea FC and the price is said to be just 5 billion euros. Roman Abramovich should better sleep now, and he wants to give the money to Ukraine. We will see.
I'm relieved the British government has cleared the takeover of the club and automatically they will be available for transfers. It is all good vibes that the new owner is willing to be active in this transfer window. I think every Chelsea's fan would want effective signings and Tuchel has to get it right this time. He doesn't have to go for a big name signing but it just has to be effective because Chelsea are not used to losing.
Chelsea Fc should also pay a good attention to retaining the players they have if possible so that they will not make their usual mistake signings.  I remember when they sold Matic for 45M and bought Bakayako got 45M. They also gave out Haaland, Salah, Lukaku and many of them.
They should pay attention to making Rudiger, Ngolo and other good players stay. Addition is better than subtraction before addition.  Use Manchester City as a case study. They keep improving their squad by adding new good players to the squad.
1834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Final! on: May 25, 2022, 08:00:17 PM
Liverpool is making so much noise. Benzima recently stated that Liverpool is acting as if they have already won the Champions league finals. But he received several several backlash from Liverpool fans and even from some of the club's legends. Liverpool is in a better position to win this Champions league. They have the best players in Europe and their strikers are the most dependable. The Liverpool defense is second to known and Klopp is technically sound. But in the game of Soccer anything can happen. Sometimes winning in soccer is a function of the combination of quality and/or luck. Hence, Real Madrid cannot be written -off. They have the quality and experience to win this trophy.
There is absolutely no one that understands football that will write Real Madrid off in the Champions League finals. What are your reasons of writing them off?
They have a very good attacking line, one of the bests in the world. They are the most experienced midfield in the world and also a good defence line.
I do not think that anyone is writing Real Madrid off. When you check history, the winning favours Real Madrid than Liverpool.
Real Madrid has Champions league record than Liverpool and again and the most important of them is that Real Madrid eliminated the most powerful contenders of the Champions League in a dramatic way. Psg, Chelsea and Manchester City.

I have to commend Peter Obi for leaving the People’s Democratic Party to join the Labour Party. It takes courage to do what he did. I’m not a fan of politicians jumping ships to suit their political interest but I always believed Peter Obi cannot do what he set out to under PDP/APC flag. I wish him all the best. He’s my favorite candidate and he is a fresh face. I’m sick and tired of these politicians rotating power amongst themselves.
Many things dey surround Peter Obi decamp and withdrawal from the presidential race. Some of the things na:
1. Obi go UK go visit men just yesterday and come decamp today, e be like dem don play tape for him. But I never know shaa.
2. Obi na one candidate wey never get stain of corruption for him body yet to Nigeria politics. If him be president e for make sense sha.
3. PDP dey want make Obi become running mate to Atiku again for this election and Obi no gree.
4. Obi never announce him new party yet, but him no get chances for Labour Party. If him wan be serious contender, make em consider NNPP, Kwankwaso go help him pull force for North.

Givers never lack when we feel the need to encourage , share merits if you see reasons too, comment, object and disagree with a post or statement, we should feel free but doing it in an appropriate way,not using words like fuck ,shit ,bitch,nonsense post or passing all forms of insults to one another, do not discourage others for intending to be kind for what does not please you might pleases others .
Op, everyone is in this forum for different purposes. You said givers never lack, some people are not here for giving purpose, infact it is a rule that there is no kind of begging here, including vegging for merits.
It is not also compulsory for people to comment on posts, agree or disagree. No one is under compulsion to do anything in this forum.
Further more, people did not come to this forum to learn characters, while some will be kind and polite, others might not. Afterall they don't care how you threat them. I believe we are all here to learn about bitcoin, so in as much as you are seeing here as a family where you advice of morality, others are seeing here as just a bitcoin discussion forum.
We do not need to have saints here, all we need to have are helpers in things concerning bitcoin.

How many of us have our PVC? Primary elections for are underway, political parties will soon narrow down the options for us, how confident are you that the candidates wey dem go present to us final go get small sense at least? or have you lost confidence in our countries electoral system? (Asking as a concerned citizen)

Let us hope people will not take ₦10000 this time to vote in favour of one party. To make this short, leadership in Nigeria is faulty and the country's economy and standard of living is always getting worse. See how Nigerians that are capable are traveling out of the country.
The big problem we have is the process of selecting our leaders. The process is faulty and rigged, it is a process of the highest bidder goes home with the ticket. And that is why we must continue to see men like Tinubu and Atiku on emerge or people they support.
We all witnessed Peter Obi's genuine interest, but now he is frustrated out of PDP. To be honest, our chances of having a good leader in a corrupt system is very slim.
Buhari as a person meant very well for Nigeria, but men that work with him, the corrupt system and his age/health ruined the whole thing and he is no longer in charge of the government.
We just need restructuring or resolution to liberate ourselves.

How about when your karma increases in reddit.
How do you also feel when your post on Facebook recieves many likes, I meant when you maybe update your profile picture.

Personally I'm a newbie and I've always gotten constructive criticism and didn't feel disrespected. I've always gotten help when I needed help. But I also try to do my own research and learn on my own before asking for help. Almost everyone here is here because they want to help. Id be annoyed if it felt like a newbie was asking a simple question easy to find on their own before they even tried and I have a feeling that's more often than we'd like to think. It doesn't pay to be given the answers and an experienced user knows this. I guess in short one I think common scenario is "if you ask a stupid question you're gonna get made fun of a little bit" - Dwight Schrute.
You made a very nice point mate. One of the most contributing factors of this being polite or not polite from the senior members is because of some questions that newbies ask at times.
You can see a newbie ask a question like "What is bitcoin", "what is the difference between bitcoin and bitcointalk" or worse scenario, you can see a newbie post that he wants to teach people how to post on bitcoin  Grin
These are the type of posts that offends the senior men in this forum and they will descend on that very newbie in different ways.
So, it is important that every newbie do some research on their own and try use the forum search button.
