In my own opinion I believe everything happens for a reason, for everything there is a season and a time for every matter understand heaven. Secondly, the kind of work you enagage yourself too matters a lot and also your responsibilities and your challenges might not be the same with some else. However, I will advise you not to compare yourself with some else, cause one thing have learnt in life is patient, have even seen a situation where a man worked hard and yet nothing to write about but sometimes the ones that will not put effort those are the people favour will locate but in all work hard.
2  Economy / Economics / Re: I wonder if food prices in your country have also increased? on: September 25, 2023, 04:43:09 PM
Price of food in my country is very expensive, some salary earners cannot afford their daily needs due to the cost of food in my country. And some farmers will say is because of the last year flood that destroyed there farm and crops such as plaintain farm, yam farm and rice farm so they have decided to increase the price of food in the market. Also the cost of transportation due to the fuel subsidy in my country has also contributed to the cost of food in my country , due to the cost of food in market money has never been enough.

There are a lot of business idea to start for example:
Poultry farm: raising of birds commercially for the sale of meat and eggs eg chickens, turkeys, geese. It also helps in promoting agriculture. Chicken meat is very expensive and healthy, also everything concerning chicken can be use for income, in a poultry farm everything is beneficial even chicken manure can be use as a source of income cause manure can be of good use for farmers. Lastly the investment to start a chicken farm is low and the return on investment is fast.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Which problem will you choose to solve? on: September 25, 2023, 09:42:10 AM


I came across this tweet, so the reference is the username. I thought it was a topic worth bringing up for discussion to see the choice that will be made by forum members. This topic is about solving problems as a service you render to make a living. Which of the problems will you prefer to solve as a service you render? the problems of the poor? or the problems of the rich? (support your choice with a reason)

I posted this here because it relates to choices we make concerning how we want our finance to be, if this is a wrong place and the topic fits better in "politics and society", I will be happy to move it there.

Even though many poor people have different problems, there are some who have financial difficulties that you can help with jobs or other work that can be able to provide food to there table, because if you can't help them with jobs or other work that can be able to provide them with food to their table, then you won't be able to satisfy their needs.If that is difficult, there is no way we can be able to solve a poor situation. In fact, some people can see you as an enemy for not providing the solution to them.

According to my point of view, the only way to satisfy many poor individuals is to provide for their basic needs, such as providing for a community's lack of water, if someone with money is able to do so.
I will choose to help the poor. The truth is there's nothing wrong with being wealthy but a rich man sees money as an opportunity while the poor see it as something to be earned. Helping the poor and needy people is crucial to build the society, for example if every rich individual can help the poor with job opportunity and providing their needs I don't think poverty rate will be high in our society. And also I don't think a rich man will ask for money, rather a rich man will ask for something precious and valuable maybe an external life or beyond and nobody can afford something beyond

It is just embarrassing at this point. Seeing Chelsea finding it difficult to win at home, 1 win in 10 games, this is beyond poor, poor officiating, zero sense of purpose in their pattern of play. Seeing pouchettino managed to make chealsea even worse this year baffles me, However I still believe that Chelsea have what it takes to go back to the top

Arsenal was ahead by 1 goal but Tottenham just scored a goal and the match is now a draw. When we look at the strengths of the two teams, Arsenal is better at the moment, and I think they have a high chance of winning the match.
The first half is almost over, we still have 45 minutes left and I think Arsenal will return to the field much stronger after the conversations within the team during the halftime. Both teams have a chance, but I think Arsenal will win this match Smiley
The two teams are playing very well, looking almost equal in power. Arsenal are good with the ball and have been able to press more to create chances. They had good chances to be leading with three goals, one from Nketiah where he would have passed to the other Arsenal player, but decided to shoot himself, it was saved by the Tottenham keeper. The other chance was from Jesus when he collected the ball from Maddison and had a clear one on one shot with the keeper but missed. I hope Arsenal will not regret it.

Although Arsenal are favorites to win in this North London Derby match but still, Tottenham are not a mediocre team so it will not be easy for Arsenal to beat Tottenham. Moreover, at this moment Son is also on fire and thus Son is able to score well in this match. After all, in the first half in fact Arsenal also did not have better statistics than Tottenham who played away. Therefore, then I believe any score is very open in this match, because for me there is no definite guarantee for Arsenal to win in this match because this is a North London Derby match which will certainly remain difficult for them.
That draw hruts, because I was expecting Arsenal to win the match, today's match was averagely displayed from Arsenal point of view and also Nketiah not looking sharp at today's performance. How will they carry on for the rest of the season if they play all these matches coming up. The only problem is that this season will be tougher than last season  
7  Other / Beginners & Help / My first knowledge in Bitcoin/Bitcointalk on: September 24, 2023, 03:54:39 PM
I heard about bitcoin from my uncle and he has been talking about bitcoin since February 2022 and have been hearing how bitcoin pays and support youths. If invest in long term. And he also warned me that bitcoin is not get quick rich scheme and there are different ways one can get bitcoin. And the ones he told me were:
1) buy bitcoin and store it in the wallet for the next bull market   to come. And he told me to buy it in the bear market and invest it for a long term investment for like 3_5 years period, so I am planning to invest for the long term.
2) trading is the buying and selling of bitcoin in the market at all time or anytime which gives you profit if you can trade well. But trading is more risk than investment.
3) mining is the solving of mathematical problem through computing system when someone send bitcoin to a recipient, a miner must mine the coins in the blockchain before the recipient will receive the coin.
         Conclusion:
In my curiousity to know more about bitcoin, he told me to register in bitcointalk so I will learn and know more from there. So if I make any mistake in any of my writing, please correct me. I am open to correction.

However everyone has the right to freedom of expression and opinion, although freedom of speech is limited for the promotion of peace because it causes harm and disunity. Hate speech can cause physical harm to its victims when violence is involved and can also cause disunity.

I'm curious what's your definition of freedom.
If free speech is limited promotion of certain things, then it's no longer free speech. What kind of harm does it cause? Why is "disunity" bad? Why would you want to unite with someone you utterly disagree with?
And no, speech cannot cause physical harm, unless you're talking really loud directly to one's ear, hurting their eardrums.
In a society where everyone is free to speak is called freedom of speech, definetly everyone is free to speak But in a situation where the speech stands as a threat or abusive is called hate speech and in a situation where hate speech is involved it can lead to violence and disunity that's why freedom of speech is limited.
10  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Four Lucrative businesses you can start in Nigeria on: September 23, 2023, 02:53:41 PM
Nice idea, first before planning for a business you must have an idea of that business first and make sure you invest on the business for higher profit. Secondly look around your area, what's that business that will profit. For instant in my area pos shops are too many so I don't see any profit coming from that. But in an area that lacks power stability, opening a charging center there will be the best idea because some people cannot do without their phones.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 23, 2023, 12:51:07 PM
However, not everyone will hate gambling and stop gambling because some are already addicted to gambling, and in a situation where the gambling is not favouring the person and there is no urge to stop, I think this is where the problem lies. For me I see gambling as a thing of luck. Have even met a situation where the person just got back from work with his salary and the next thing that came to his mind was gamble and he used all his salary to play gamble and yet he didn't get any profit, in this situation I will advise the person to stop because at this point the person may end up having depression or not having any valuable property
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Hate speech and it impacts on bitcoin on: September 22, 2023, 05:44:34 PM
Generally, however, hate speech is any form of expression that discriminates against minorities by abusive or threatening speech. Although some countries define hate speech as speech or act that promotes violence.

However everyone has the right to freedom of expression and opinion, although freedom of speech is limited for the promotion of peace because it causes harm and disunity. Hate speech can cause physical harm to its victims when violence is involved and can also cause disunity.

The (CERD) committee on the elimination of racial discrimination was the first to address hate speech and the need to build regulation, prohibiting and provocative types of language. This committee intervene and yet hate speech still continue in our society today.

Those who support (pro) bitcoin and those who are against bitcoin always have a clash in speech. Those who hate bitcoin see bitcoin as a scam and other crime scheme. So with their view on it they see bitcoin users as scapegoat, criminals and money laundering and some special advisers in the government see bitcoin from this perspective so they advised the government to ban bitcoin in their country. And this cause a social trauma between these two groups.
Upon all these bitcoin is still gaining ground in the ecosystem. Therefore, hate speech cannot do anything to bitcoin again.
Although we are free to say what we want but we should avoid expressing an idea that threatens or insults association (hate speech)

Gambling fit favour person today but sometimes no better thing the person dey use the money do.

For me, gambling money no be better money, anybody wey dey hustle make the person stay out from gambling because I don see many cases wey person loss huge amount of money inside gamble
15  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Inflation in Nigeria (there must be a way out) Bitcoin is also a way out on: September 21, 2023, 03:54:16 PM
In my own point of view concerning the inflation in Nigeria right now, we are also contributing in the cost of goods in the market. This means that the sellers are passing on the higher cost of bringing goods to the market. We should understand that Nigeria economy is very poor. Ways in reducing inflation in Nigeria:

1) Agriculture: agriculture sector can help in reducing inflation. If going back to plainting of crops such as cassava, yam, plaintain and raring of livestock. This will help in reducing inflation.
2) Expectations: we should stop expecting inflation, I over heard a lady saying next year hunger go dey oh, I was like what is wrong with this country, if people keep expecting inflation next year, firms will put up prices high and workers will demand higher incomes because nobody wants to be left out.
3) Employment: Nigerian government should focus on graduates with no jobs, promoting of jobs, and investment can help to reduce inflationary pressures. In a country that employes and creates jobs to youths and citizens whereas this look like pushing money out through salary payment, this will help in reducing inflation on the country.

4) Bitcoin adoption/acceptance: since Nigeria economy is very weak, therefore, accepting Bitcoin will sustain the economy to some extend. In fact Bitcoin will boost the economy in the country, it will even create employment and self reliance of the youth.
Accepting Bitcoin in the country will even help the government because the youth will create jobs by themselves without looking for the white coller jobs. And that means crime rate will reduce. Bitcoin will help the fiat currency to withstand with the oppressive dollar

Some new business lack the sales of goods or product and nothing kills a new business than not meeting its sales goals. Lack of proper investment in a business kills the business also, some people lack the idea of investing more on their business,

This is never the Manchester united that I used  to know, If ETH doesn't do anything concerning the goalkeeper I see Manchester going down, in my own point of view I see the team trying to make things right in teams of defence, tactics, passion to fight but the goalkeeper let them down everytime.

The best idea for Manchester united right now is to buy a new goalkeeper and start back from where they stopped. Besides is never too late for Manchester united
18  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: what can ordinary man do on: September 20, 2023, 06:35:58 PM
Nice topic. Like I will always say death is never an option no matter what. But concerning this matter nobody knew what happened and what caused the death of the police man but taking the life of someone is very bad. For example police in my area are very annoying, harassing people, taking money from keke drivers unnecessary, some even go ahead to hit the keke light with their gun or stick and I have witnessed this in several occasions and this police officers knowing fully well that some of this keke drivers are cultist and they keep doing the same thing taking money from them. Some thing like this happened in my community, a police officer was shut to death by bad boies but death is never an option

Perfectly said, people go just dey spend their hard earn money for gambling and wetin dey pain me pass be say no profit for the gambling even if profit dey sef e no pass 70%.
