1  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria's Economic Problems: Government Ban Cryptocurrency on: February 29, 2024, 08:12:18 PM
The main cause of the problem is because our government failed to make the country to be less relying on foreign products. We are importing goods more than necessary. In technology we lag behind and the foreign nations are innovating new products that we continue to import.

Federal government needs to tackle the reasons we rely on importing goods. We need ways they can encourage and create a good environment of increasing productivity in Nigeria. Electricity is bad and has gotten worse again during this dry season as usual. They should start by providing constant electricity. Many companies left the country because of bad electricity. There is much more to discuss about this than Electricity.

So the government are not solving the primary reasons but going for secondary reasons. They wanted to control the parallel market and which they have just achieved like the CBN rate. Exchanges and others are restricting people that have ads from selling if not following the rules of the CBN, making the CBN to be indirectly using the exchanges to control the P2P price. Naira has increased in price now, but things in the market are still expensive and not reducing in price at all.

Apart from the problem of over relying on importation, we run a free market system that allows individuals increases prices without bringing it down even when dollar prices comes down. A price control system is needed and not just fighting Cryptocurrency and other exchange platforms.
2  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Nigeria's Economic Problems: Government Ban Cryptocurrency on: February 29, 2024, 07:13:10 AM
For sometime now the activities of Bitcoin mixers and their rates in the exchange platforms have been a concern in this forum. Though the basic principles of businesses is to make gains but the percentages taken by Bitcoin mixers seem to be one sided in gains.

For sometime now , experts Believe that, Nigeria's current Economic problem are caused by that increase in the transaction and other exchange rates and charges, which  devalues the country's currency. It is on this reason that, about seven exchange platforms have been banned and their operators arrested.

Some of these platforms included Binance, Octafx,  cryptocurrency and others , this is aimed at making the Nigerian Naira gain value to reduce the current economic hardships on Nigerians but, those at the gaining end seem to be reluctant and indifferent about the impact of their charges and interest rates on the larger population of Nigerians.

Do you actually think , the current Economic Problems of Nigeria are caused by the activities of the exchange market as seen by experts and what should be done to reduce the current economic hardship. Mind you, this decisions directly affects this forum.

Let's discuss the way out for crypto lovers.

The fast rise in the cost of living among average citizens has come to be a burden to all citizens. Many attributes this inflation to the rise of dollar. But one can easily wonder how locally produced goods are directly affected by the dollar that is used at the international market.

What we lack in Nigeria is price regulation and monitoring to check mate the constant price monopoly by the marketers and producers. As federal government has failed , state governors should capitalize on indigenous production and distribution.

It is actually the failure of the social Political system that does not provide jobs for citizens and in other scenes demands for sex in exchange of opportunities. These adult ladies need to survive, it is that survival instinct that is making them to resort to such. So you cannot totally blame them but the government.

How do you deal with the situation where people who you are close to like family and friends are constantly demanding for one kind of financial assistance or the other. It is not possible to help everyone, so how do you handle it and make sure that giving and trying to help people do not turn into a problem for you. How about people who borrow money from you and never return it or even show any effort to make payment back to you, how did you go about the situation?

Lending is a business to someone credit companies most especially in African countries so, the idea of lending what you can afford to forget is a wrong notion.

Try to ensure that every borrower should provide an equivalent property as a collateral. If it is not for profit making then stop borrowing them.

7  Economy / Economics / Re: How will the BRICS currency influence Bitcoin? on: February 10, 2024, 10:55:39 PM
Second world countries have seen the economic powers of United State of America because of the use of dollar as their only condition for transactions and exchanges. Based on that, the US government has continue to raise the value of the dollar by increasing the value of their commodities.

So for you to get more dollars to be able to buy their expensive products and services  you have to use more of the Local currencies to get fewer dollars to access their goods and services.

For the BRIC nations, if the idea of collaborative economy is applied they can place the same value on their goods and services. So that to get the goods and services of the BRIC nations, you have to use most of your local currencies to get the BRIC currency to be able to access their goods and services.

Over time, the 3rd world nations have faced the worst economic hardships due to the continues increase in the value of dollars which is the mostly used means of exchange  therefore, they are also suggesting a common currency among the former colonies of Britain, most especially the West African currency which has been Nder the incubator for years now.

The major able is to ensure a strong competitive economy and decentralize the domination of the dollar system. I sincerely doubt whether the emergence of such currencies will weaken Bitcoin except they jointly create a virtual cryptocurrency as a support base of the paper currency.

9  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why Herbalists Live Longer than Christains on: February 09, 2024, 10:52:04 PM
I will not agree with your points and the topic "herbalists live longer than Christians" people life and health doesn't depend on their believe neither their religion, Christians no longer get fooled with certain believe like this and taking good care of your health that's what really matters.
Same herbalist can depend on natural herbs and will still die so religion  doesn't give full guarantee over a person lifespan.
You made mention of science and man made food but food and medicine are meant for good purpose like preservative etc, just imagine a world without science. Christians do live long and sometimes live longer compared to heberlist.


There are related points of what people believe and their consumption of certain items. Core traditionalists with herbal practices detests some certain modern foods. Most traditionalists hates indomie noodles and other junk foods and prefer the native foods.

I  know about people who don't take minerals because of their chemical, acidic and gastric contents, they prefer water . Christains does not have such belief systems that coordinates what they consume.

A good example is the herbal method of healing which Christains believe to be fetish so, they resort to consuming chemical and acidic medicines that affects their being.
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon musk is for crypto or just for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX? on: February 09, 2024, 10:41:34 PM
Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge. Cheesy
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

There was a time I made a post on this platform explaining how I see a time coming when Elon Musk will be making an effort to dominate the crypto world which will keep his wealth measured higher. Unfortunately, moderators of this platform deleted the post. Today it is coming to pass.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My first Bitcoin on: February 09, 2024, 10:29:08 PM
Let me give you an insight into what happen to a woman in my street. During the time of Naira scarcity in Nigeria due to the Central Bank Of Nigeria's cashless policy in 2023, a business woman was interested in opening an online bank account with Opay Digital services because of the companies cash back policy on transactions and free transfer policy.

But she lacked the know how on how to open and operate the application, so she contracted someone to open it for her in his phone so that she can be using his phone to monitor transactions, she did all of this because of trust.

But, unknown to her , the young man has been using her business account the man opened for her to place bets online to the sum of 30 thousand Nigerian Naira. When she discovered , the young man behaved as if he does not know what happened that funds are missing, until she called another expert to check for her.

This is a likely scenario you are suspecting that may happen. It is simple if you don't want to transfer the bitcoins to another account, change the password and write it down somewhere.

Eradicating corruption is a near impossibility because the social Political system are dominated by the retrogressive forces that keeps the system stagnant for their continues domination and enjoyment.

It will only take one president with determination to step on toes .
13  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How to stop noise pollution? on: February 08, 2024, 08:16:23 PM
Noise pollution mostly causes psychological imbalance. There are only two ways to control noise pollution.

1. Sound proof
Sound proof glasses and doors are great means of noise pollution control, nother is the use of sound proof generator or eco friendly generators over other types of power generators, this is an effect means of pollution control.

2. Implementing the laws about noise pollution
Enacted laws need to be implemented strictly to avoid noise pollution.

3. Most of the noise pollution's are from generators mostly in African countries, when there is an improved public power supply, it can eliminate 90% of the noise pollution's we face.
14  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why Herbalists Live Longer than Christains on: February 08, 2024, 08:02:37 PM
I'm not willing to support the motive of you saying the Tranditionalist live longer than Christians, do you think God in his own way becomes happy when he sees Christians die or maybe because he promised eternal life after living here on earth then it is enough to let us die at a faster rate. Have we not heard testimonies on how God has saved the lives of many Christians from accidents and unfortunate circumstances, how much then has it happened compared to the Tranditionalist. There are a million ways to die, be it a Christian or any religion, we all fall victim.



Sorry, the issue of concern is not about their belief system but, their belief system which affects what they consume physically. The entire post is looking at the difference between what Christains consume and what traditionalists consume.


Traditionalists don't often time refuse consuming fast foods and sugary foods. Rather they resort to bitter substances. Like the medicines we consume are chemicals that most times affects the human health but, traditionalist will rather resort to mixing herbs which are less in human chemical compounds.
15  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why Herbalists Live Longer than Christains on: February 08, 2024, 07:54:47 PM
Well I think I don't really understand your topic,in your topic you Said harbalists and in your writing you said traditionalists, well in my own point of view,i think this is totally different from each other.but maybe you mean to say traditionalists and I will like to comment on this topic traditionalists,: traditionalists we are all traditionalists before Christianity came into existence, so l me tell you,with my little knowledge about traditionalists these are people who practiced holiness people, who are truthful, traditionalists do not lie or deceive people, they do not cheat or bribe they are straightforward people and they keep they holy days holy abide with their rules and regulations, and I think that's why they live longer than a Christianity..

In the Christianity: white man brought Christianity to us,we were not born and brought up with this ideology,we initiate it and after that we are not keeping the rules and regulations,i mean the commandments of God we do not have fear of God in our life, because God is A merciful God,in our society today look at the rate of Christianity,the churches everywhere, Man of God everywhere and women of God everywhere still alot are happening,and if look The sins that Christian are committing today you begin to wonder what kind of Christianity is this,i know that they're good ones but they are just few,a ritualist will go to church and he will be given the front seat sit down and the church will recommend him or her as highest donor in the house of God meanwhile his or her source of income is not from the right place..so that is why it's like Christianity do not live long because many are pretending to be a christian meanwhile they are evil dowers....

Herbal practices are found in the traditional religion, so mentioning herbalist and tradition should not be confusing. Tradition is the religion and herbalism is a practice of people who believe in traditional means of healing. I hope you understand this explanation sir.
16  Other / Politics & Society / Why Herbalists Live Longer than Christains on: February 02, 2024, 08:57:00 AM
Why traditionalists live longer in age than Christains is an argument that has bothered minds however, christainity over time has tamed the curiosity of Christains with some bible citations, such as God takes the righteous early to avoid a sinful world. Then they make reference to Christ who lived 40 years. Apart from traditionalists living longer than Christains , other questions such as why none Christains are more successful in life than Christains with all the promises of riches, good life and prosperity.

Nevertheless, the reasons as to why Traditionalists lives longer than Christains can be explained in two ways.

1. The Social Traditional Practice

The social Traditional Practice as a principle of social conduct detest civilization and science, beleivers and scholars of the traditional institution believe that, science and it's inventions are dangers to the human social security and existence. For instance, the invention of harmful preservatives and chemicals as solutions to human satisfaction or medicines to human illnesses endangers human beings core existence.

Traditionalists believe that, it is what humans take into their stomach as parts of scientific inventions that is eliminating our natural existence. In other words, Traditionalists prefer natural and unprocessed food products and consumables that lacks artificial chemical compounds.
https://www.facebook.com/RobertDavisHealthySkeptic/videos/1000321431311259/?mibextid=jtWzXIAxfKx1VBOC

Traditionalists prefers natural means of consumption, generally, they strongly holds unto the believe that , living a good live is in its natural resources so, they intend to preserve nature and it's practices.

2. Christain Principles of social living
.
Their focus is more on moral grounds rather than healthy living, in fact Christains believe what man consume cannot defile him or endanger their health without poisoning. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.bibleref.com/Matthew/15/Matthew-15-11.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi_iaOPnoyEAxXcaEEAHdjcDHgQFnoECAUQAw&usg=AOvVaw0_55ob9Dq4OFom6A6ks2jT. Christains also think, the only thing that can kill a man is based on what they say with their mouth https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.biblestudytools.com/proverbs/18-21.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi_iaOPnoyEAxXcaEEAHdjcDHgQFnoECAEQDQ&usg=AOvVaw2JV8L5XQUvgUGtkMyvJMX0 . These are some of the reasons why Christains don't care about the health issues related to what they consume. Although Christains in the health profession are aware of these challenges but, they don't believe in the effectiveness of the traditional herbs , even at that, they have not totally abandoned some of the chemical foods and foods with preservatives. This is majorly the cause of most untimely deaths caused by sickness.

Unavoidably, processed foods and foods with harmful preservatives and chemicals have dominated society dues to scientific inventions of preservatives , ingredients for foods made with chemicals, the fast rise of fast foods and eateries. This has made it difficult to escape these death traps.

We are now on the third page of this thread and Funke never returned to answer any of the questions that were asked here. He never offered any examples of the abuse and bullying he experienced or noticed that it was happening against other users. If you create a discussion, you usually come back to it and participate in the exchange of opinions. The way it looks now, OP isn't interested in that. So, did you start this thread just for the sake of starting a thread or what was the purpose?

What a load of bullshit, and the bad thing is that it's not crazy what the OP is saying, it's just commonly held beliefs. OP, read what happened with the Edict of Diocletian, which people throughout history have tended to forget and repeat.

In another way, governments should be the producers of some of these products , the distributor and retailer of these products in order to drag down the monopoly of the private hands.

Pure and hard Communism, that is, the political theory that the more it fails and the more millions of deaths it produces, the more popular it becomes. Leaving the means of production in state hands and taking them away from private initiative has had the same result, identical, in all the countries where it has been carried out: extreme poverty, famines, exodus, political-psychopathic repression and millions of dead.

This and many more are examples of insults and bullying by legendary members to express their point which they feel is better than the points of newbies. I never wanted to remember them , that was why I kept the thread going to see whether others have had the same experience. The thread was actually created for legendary members to also see what others are saying about their behavior then have a change of approach to public discussions. I know I am newbie, I am ready to learn but no through insults and bullying. Thank you for requesting for proof.

Well OP @charis-Tim I strongly agree with that suggestion, but can it be created? Because from what you are saying most newborns like my self are finding it hard to post anywhere, because in some forums I have visited they have such broad call child broad also I am sure this broad should have great effect on the newborns to have ideas on how the forums operates most newborns find it hard to tell for there right to there left on the forums
If we have a moderator, it would have been easy, but we do not have a moderator. We wanted two child-boards to be created but our request was not granted. You do not have to worry, just create good and worthy posts that are not useless and you have nothing to be worried about. Only off-topic and low quality posts are often moved to off-topic board.

Learning is essential in the growth of people, I actually asked the question because , I followed the trend of people posting different things in this board.

So it was like , the board was created Bitcoin talks and other issues about Nigeria, I have seen several posts on different threads in this board. Therefore, I am asking to know the specific reason for the board and what to be posted. The question was asked for me to understand and others to understand.
19  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / The Kind of Topics to be Posted in Naija Local Forum on: January 25, 2024, 06:03:10 AM

20  Other / Politics & Society / If you are paid while working for the Church , You will be Poor on: January 24, 2024, 10:21:33 PM
In today's being the second day of the Glory Reign program, the general overseer of the Salvation Ministry Church, Pastor David Ibiyomie said, those who renders services in the church that are paid will never escape poverty.

-How True is This?

1 Timothy 5:18 , Luke 10: 7, Matthew 10:10 : The bible said a workman is worthy of his wages, the bible instructed that , the church should pay it elders and workers especially those that are teaching in the church.
https://www.dwellcc.org/essays/new-testament-principles-church-finance

Although pastors are humans therefore does not have the feature of infallibility but, they should make more researches to issues rather than putting their emotions into interpreting the bible.

The Winners Chapel in 2022 employed pastors on a payroll of 40,000 Nigerian Naira, does Ibiyomie mean his mentor , David Oyedepo is wrong or Jesus is wrong? Of course no and there is no such curse of poverty placed on church workers.

How does the church want a family man who is dedicated to the church work to survive to continue working in the church.

Do you think Ibiyomie is right?
