Naija Novice Hangout {Newbies introduction & Orientation} Thread.

[Charles-Tim]

It would have been better if theymos has given us local board when we requested for it, it would have been more lively on local board rather than just a thread, but we have not been given local board, which might be as a result of low activities or other good reasons, but our activities have increased, if we continue like this, theymos we give us a local board soon. Also necessary for help to improve our posting quality. Like me, I rather not post than posting olw quality contents.

---snipped---

If you check the chart above, you can see how this thread was not active in 2019, and not that active in 2020, but the activity has been increasing drastically and now abruptly in 2021. It will be good if the activity increase more in 2022. This can be achieved by seeing this thread useful, caring about one another, bring what can be helpful for other fellow Nigerians here, especially pertaining to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

[Igebotz]

I didn't release statistics for last month due to low activity compared to previous months, so I've decided to put a hold on the thread's monthly activities chart. If you're fine with the monthly statistics despite the low post counts, then no wahala. However, I must admit that I'm dissatisfied by the number of low-quality posts on the thread; it makes discussion difficult, and the constant uploading of images on a single thread does not give me a favorable impression.

Abeg this place nobe trash can or offtopic board and if you want discuss offtopic at least make it make sense come get small quality join so that others can join in the conversations too.

@igehhh

Nathrixxx was very active here and he was banned, likely one of the reasons for the low activities. And yet he can no longer open new account which will be deemed as ban evasion.

It would be good if the images are truly reduced rather than quoting full images. Also complete quoting of someone long post can truly be annoying. We should all consider this as a way of moving forward, not criticism. Yes, I agree.

If you're fine with the monthly statistics despite the low post counts, then no wahala.

I go for no wahala, it'd be fine.

Big shame he was such an active poster and the rest of them that got banned too, I think the ban play a big role here, too bad most of the established members do not even bother to visit here weekly at least to see thighs are going on. The level of low activities is alarming.

If you're fine with the monthly statistics despite the low post counts, then no wahala.

I go for no wahala, it'd be fine.

I will give it a shot by the end of this month.

Ok the reason for theymos denying the Nigeria community a local board is because of low activity? Do we have stats of the number of Nigerians on the forum, the ones that identity with us on this thread and also stats to show our activity in relation to other local boards in the forum

[Charles-Tim]

Ok the reason for theymos denying the Nigeria community a local board is because of low activity?

theymos like to be mute about this, but from our previous threads related to local board and from what some moderators have commented even that is not related to local board, it is clear that the reason we do not have a local board is lack of activities. But like I once commented, we have improved, but we need to improve more with quality posts.

Do we have stats of the number of Nigerians on the forum

We can never be accurate about this even if we think we have it.

the ones that identity with us on this thread and also stats to show our activity in relation to other local boards in the forum

You can check this out, it is what you are asking for:

[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

Try to check the previous posts too to check the previous stats.

Also, to know more, we have requested for local board, we locked the thread when requesting for this thread we at now to be pinned, we will later unlock the thread back after our activities increased here with quality posts.

Na true talk sha. This thread don come a long way from when Brainboss create am. Now wey crypto dey extremely popular, there thread suppose get more quality engagements too. Some members fit no dey active here because some of the discussions here no feature their interests and since this one na thread rather than a board, it's so early to miss out on conversations. I been dey inactive due to school but I'm back now for my IT with plenty time to contribute the cause.

[BIT-BENDER]

Also I go like add say the posts where person go come dey check up on others for the this board no dey necessary I don talk am before say e dey make the board in all round look like sey e be a chatting forum, rather you fit ask about person wey get issues or person wey it's confirmed sey something dey happen to am, but e go dey very formal, make we no use sey we one talk for this board come turn am to something we no go dey proud of, and newbies wey dey join us, I believe sey we get a partner of introduction, make una them dey try follow am e dey make everything get better packaging na my humble yarnings be this.

[Charles-Tim]

Some members fit no dey active here because some of the discussions here no feature their interests and since this one na thread rather than a board

I noticed this too, very possible, but also because we have never gotten local board, there should have been active discussions but we are not yet involving ourselves.

I been dey inactive due to school but I'm back now for my IT with plenty time to contribute the cause.

I know, education first. Happy to here about your IT, little time remaining.

but e go dey very formal, make we no use sey we one talk for this board come turn am to something we no go dey proud of,

I agree.

and newbies wey dey join us, I believe sey we get a partner of introduction, make una them dey try follow am e dey make everything get better packaging

My opinion about this is different, just as the introductory post is not necessary for newbies on the forum, so should the introduction here not to be necessary, but highly welcomed. What should matters most is constructive and quality posts.

I believe once we get local boards or we start having conversations here wey interest people, engagement go come to the community naturally. Similar to how people dey actively participate in crypto whatsapp groups because e align with their interests. I believe say we go soon find our rhythm. This semester been wan choke me but I'm glad it's done now. I can have time for more important things like engaging with other members here.

Make una no go request for local thread again oh  just stay mute as our matter dun reach their hand, na the activeness of the board now go determine wetin go sup. When dem go introduced new local dem go reason our mata  make e no go come dey be like say na spam. That statistics for just dey update like ones ones so dem go see am come keep us for mind. I no go recommend monthly as activities no too dey here but anyhow una wan run d mata no shaking.

Make una dey give update here oh. Nothing dey dis forum, just few day I comot hand here only God know wetin I see outside.

This na wetin I dey talk for mind CryptopreneurBrainboss just knack the matter for head. Na update we need nor be to dey drag which wallet good pass. Na we know as things be for our side make we nor follow people weh nor know wetin be Nepa dey discuss matter way nor go put food for table. Knowledge without money na waste of time well spent. Intelligent poor man. Thank you CryptopreneurBrainboss for the update. Early morning good news

[Charles-Tim]

Make una no go request for local thread again oh  just stay mute as our matter dun reach their hand, na the activeness of the board now go determine wetin go sup.

I go with this idea, the recent moderation really surprised me. All we need is to engage in more constructive and quality discussions.

Ever Wakanda Inu self nobody update. The update no mean say make you invest but atleast make you know whatsup. me I dun go hustle outside.

I saw the coin on Punch when it had increased to over $300%. The market is bearish now, even bitcoin in some hours ago had retraced down to $60540. Wakanda Inu which was at $0.00000030 is now at $0.000000014. It is more centered to a continent (although anyone in the world can invest in it), the reason the coin may remain shitcoin or become dead.

This na wetin I dey talk for mind CryptopreneurBrainboss just knack the matter for head. Na update we need nor be to dey drag which wallet good pass.

All discussions related to cryptocurrencies are welcomed, one does not affect the other.


Also to be sincere enough, I was surprised many other local boards are discussing about the lastest bitcoin softfork, taproot, but nobody brought it up here on this local thread. The discussion would have been more friendly on local boards and threads while yet not lacking quality contents.

Face-to-face bitcoin trading

This should have been a poll but no local board yet. But I think we can still have ourselves useful information. I just read in a thread created by SatoPrincess about face-to-face trading. We all know how it has been surfaced how CBN are making use of p2p platforms to track Nigerias (I don't know if it is true or rumor), but this has likely resulted to a declined trading volume among Nigerians, probably because of the fear of the CBN.

Nigeria Bitcoin P2P Transaction Volumes Drops As F2F Model Emerges

I thought what resulted to the decline was the CBN, I do not think it is any face-to-face trading or something. But what do you people think about this, is it not dangerous if there is any trading platform which is encouraging face-to-face p2p trading? I am thinking this can be the beginning of people making (criminals that can elicit physical attack and harm) use of this means to know about Nigerians having bitcoin, visiting their homes, offices or where victims like visiting, to steal from them.

What did you people think about this? For me, I can never involve myself in face-to-face trade of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

Thanks Charles it will be a foolish thing if one decides to expose him/herself to such dangers. Criminals are just hungry for people to victimize I will not let myself fall into that trap. The country is hard and people will do just about anything to survive.  A friend of mine that runs an online taxi bolt was robbed last week, he was setup by a customer who booked the ride. The rest of the gang were waiting at the set destination...they stole his car, phones and beat him up mercilessly. After such experience how can I trust someone I don't know with my bitcoins and my life?

Charles, I agree with you. The rumors about CBN agents infiltrating the p2p platform sparked the so-called F2F trading nonsense, and the rumors about CBN agents breaching the p2p platform were all over the media. I'm not sure how real this is, but it caused a lot of panic on Binance, as several traders went offline and others changed their terms of service on who they would deal with; some even stated that they would not pay kobos but just the actual money to clear suspicious activity. People who fall prey to CBN are those who want to be caught in the first place. The suggested F2F exchange is a major flaw in anonymity and decentralization, which are the foundations of bitcoin. This is even worse than KYC. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except you want to get robbed.

Make we try use our head for some kind Tori for town nobe everything we see we go wan chook head. Comrades make una calm down.

A Crypto traded is supposed to be anonymous. That's was the main objective towards bitcoin creation(never to review identity). It will never be a wise idea to review or disclose your assets to a stranger in person to avoid unnecessary attacks. The days are evil and nobody is to be trusted when it comes to dealing with money face-to-face.

This present government is making things hard for its citizens. How long are we going to live in this kind of peril? Blocking every access to make fortune out of crypto. This is not the type of change we voted for
