Naija Novice Hangout {Newbies introduction & Orientation} Thread.

Make I no lie una this forum too wide for me sometimes I no they even know where to start from...

Like i have said before, but i wouldn't mind reiterating, the forum isn't as wide as you think it is, so first thing's first is that you should rule out that mindset, start from the beginners and help section.

I no know where to get good information on how I go prevent being scammed. Last time I report for beginners bord as I was scammed and na Nigeria Binance Telegram group oo...

The thing is this, many people take Bitcoin/crypto to be a get rich quick scheme, so they fall easily for scam and think there is a special way to avoid being scammed in the crypto industry, but the answer is NO, just the same way your protect your fiat currency (Naira), that is the same way you protect your crypto funds, for example, if you receive a text that reads thus "hello sir, i want to introduce you to a platform were you send 50,000 naira to earn 100,000 naira in return in less than a week", would you send funds? The answer is No, but if crypto was to be mentioned or used people would send funds, WHY? Cause they take crypto to be a get rich quick scheme. There is actually no guide per se to avoid being scammed, but since 9 out of 10 people are scammed out of their own folly, we could generalize it by saying one should avoid being 'foolish' not to get scammed, what do i mean by that: whatever is too good to be true, isn't true, do not trust, but always verify, keep your seed phrase/private keys to yourself, avoid telling a lot of people you own Bitcoin, do not clink on random links, avoid storing lots of funds in a hot wallet, if you receive an unsolicited mail/pm, it prolly could be a scam, do not be moved by avarice, etc, etc, the list is endless.

So pls we go need good guide on how to make quality posts, because whenever I see people post, I go they Reason say me I fit do such lost so, but I know we go get guidance here. Thanks senior men's in Advance.

The same thing i said above is applicable in this case as well, i know we have threads on "posting etiquette", and threads that also teach people how to make their posts more attractive and readable, but there isn't a guide that can teach you how to make quality posts per se, it has to first of all come from within, and in an area you have interest in, when you make posts in areas you have interest in, you will obviously write better. Then there comes knowledge, and that isn't something one gets overnight, if you go back in time to the posting histories of most Legendary/Hero/sr/full members, you would see that their early posts were not as good as what they are making now; so what am i saying, the more your knowledge increases, the better your posts, and your knowledge can only increase when you do your research, read quite a lot of things, ask questions, etc. Goodluck mate.

New topic: Wetin u dey find challenging for the forum?

I understand say we dun get plenty new members of recent and just looking at how una dey composed una post I understand say una never get everything sorted out. Well no look down on yourselves because some of us take us some months to understand how things dey work here and then we no get anybody to guide us but now una get us. I wan make we comot mind small for any other stuff and talk about self development.

Tankiu Brainboss for this topic. For now, this suppose be the most important topic here because I see many newbies dey spring out from different angles in the forum and many of them dey shoot out from Naija.
One funny thing be say, since you drop this post, no person don come with tangible questions but later dem go fumble.

I appreciate your efforts Brainboss. One thing be say, everybody no go do well the same time, everybody get different growth speed. So, newbies and other Jr members, e no matter how you take grow, at the end of the day what matters is what you learn.

For here, we get different categories of users.

1. People wey succeed on their own without much help and directions: People like Brainboss dem, Upgrade00, BIT-BENDER, Coyster and others
2. People wey you go give just small information and direction dem go excel
3. People wey no dey follow directions.

Try not to fall under the 3rd People. Make we dey waka with care, forum no dey run, forum no dey crash tomorrow. At the end of the day na wetin matter na wetin u grab here.

We are yet to have our local board, so we have all discussions packed up in this single thread, i know it can make things somewhat messy sometimes, having to discuss multiple things all at once; but we can still help ourselves by keeping it tidy and readable, i am making this reply particularly about quoting patterns, it is unnecessary to quote a really long post/thread just as you did above, it makes your post unreadable and kinda hurts the eyes, lol. So next time you want to quote a long post or thread, just do it exactly as i have done above, you can just clear out the entire post and leave something similar above, there are many other ways to do it, of which i would post a link to, here it is:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3749076
You are welcome mate (in response to the 'thank you'), i wish you goodluck.

News reaching out today be sae the Central African Republic don adopted bitcoin as legal tender, em do become the second country in the world to do so behind El Salvador.
CFR Lawmakers unanimously adopted a bill that made bitcoin legal tender alongside the CFA franc and legalised the use of cryptocurrencies.
CAR “don become the first country in Africa wey adopt bitcoin as legal tender".
Info link: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.rfi.fr/en/central-african-republic-adopts-bitcoin-as-legal-currency

My question na be sae, will our lawmaker's ever pushed this kind of bitcoin adoption, making it legal tender someday in Nigeria?

[Rruchi man]

but we can still help ourselves by keeping it tidy and readable,

Good one, this is something we can do.

My question na be sae, will our lawmaker's ever pushed this kind of bitcoin adoption, making it legal tender someday in Nigeria?

Na under two situations nai this thing go fit sup for naija,

 first first na say, the next government wey we go get go comprise of ogbonge people wey get bitcoin matter for their mind, and secondly say...You know say sake of say our leaders sabi follow follow, once many African countries dun start to adopt bitcoin so, you go see say them nor go get option than to start to dey free with bitcoin for the country.

Regardless though nobody get time to dey wait for government before dem do their thing, if you know, you know.

Who deh reason this guy here. Wetin him want to achieve self by his off topic post? Am sure this one no be our 9ja peep.

One funny thing be say, since you drop this post, no person don come with tangible questions but later dem go fumble.

You forget say no be everybody like to deh ask questions for public especially when them no even know how to take arrange mouth ask am so that people no go laugh them. Alot of new users for this place go get this type of problem. Na shyness deh disturb them, oga.

Anybody wey dey feel like that for here suppose drop that kind mindset. The man Koko why we get local thread na make we dey communicate in a way we do normally for day to day activities. Ask the question anyhow wey you fit and I sure say person go answer you for here.

If your shyness too much, you fit PM person for guidance too.

[Maestro75]

I no know whether na by default or not but I remember say no be everybody pm deh open to newbie accounts. E bi like say na kind of protection weh forum put to take protect users against spamming and scam attempts from newbies. Another thing for the shyness matter weh I raise be say this our new brothers and sisters no go know how them go take ask for help unto make we show them love to carry them along  as per encouraging them. You understand wetin I mean.

[Franctoshi]

New topic: Wetin u dey find challenging for the forum?

I understand say we dun get plenty new members of recent and just looking at how una dey composed una post I understand say una never get everything sorted out. Well no look down on yourselves because some of us take us some months to understand how things dey work here and then we no get anybody to guide us but now una get us. I wan make we comot mind small for any other stuff and talk about self development.

Use this opportunity ask questions, on how to run things like writing formats etc, if you get any other challenge, no fear talk am here and we go try give you direct information on how to go about am and no be just generalized information wey no get any direction. Use this opportunity use understand the forum better and abeg if you no get idea about any questions asked just observe instead of misleading.

Wetin you talk make sense because e show say una wey don tee for the furum Cary us wey be beginners for back.
Secondly be say una wey don tee for here make una dey help us observe threads of newbies wey come from we country well well as una they read to help alarm and correct errors earlier wey them fit make.
I believe say other beginners wey dey here too ,we go join hand and put the things wey you don talk for work.

[uchegod-21]

If your shyness too much, you fit PM person for guidance too.

No reason am abeg, na made up excuse, which kind shyness be that one?
Anybody dey see person face for here?
If person go shy reach that level, why the person no go shy to open thread for other parts of the forum. Why the person go dey reply threads?
Nobody dey shy here, na to develop confidence be the koko.

Secondly be say una wey don tee for here make una dey help us observe threads of newbies wey come from we country well well as una they read to help alarm and correct errors earlier wey them fit make..

This your talk no go well atol. How you go expect established members to dey roam about for forum dey observe thread wey newbies post, then dem go use juju know say the newbie na Nigerian and finally give corrections when the deed has already been done. Imagine say na the only duty old members has to do.
Abeg, the best approach na to direct every newbie wey be Nigerian to this locals we dey.

No be lie every newbie suppose know about this place and no be the work of senior men (old members) to dey waka dey  monitor wia newbie wey be naija person post anything. For example when I been enter forum, na this place I fumble and BrainBoss put me true sharp sharp, some senor men here also advice me say make I put eye for ground dey read back wetin other people dom post so that I go sabi wetin I dey do. I dey follow up and I obey that simple instruction, I never get wahala anywhere and I no go get. Make other newbies dem put eyes for ground,make dem no dey in a hurry even if water finish for tank e never finish for ground.

Person no supposed reason that kind tin for here na,no be say na meeting wey pipo go dey see you face to face naimake them bring chat for easiest communication but as e be say them no fit open dia heart to chat here na when we go call general meeting wey dem go fit talk or expressed dia selves? The tin na capital "NO". So any how make we try relate small, so shyness no fit limit us abi dem dey also shy inside room  ?
Una sabi the matter and I come in peace ✌️

[Maestro75]

Person no supposed reason that kind tin for here na,no be say na meeting wey pipo go dey see you face to face

Na parable I throw there with that shyness thing. No be that kind of shyness weh deh happen when people see face to face. The shyness for the matter na the type of shying away from issues to avoid wetin people go talk. No be everybody deh like put mouth for talk because them no want make others bully them online. Na that type of shyness I deh talk about.

Okay no issues, anyhow all way na way so e better say make them relate so that from there too we wey never stand we'll go see tins begin to take correction because we no go wait make something happen to anyone here weh be newbie before we go learn at least make we learn before e go happened.

Sometimes I dey reason am say when me go grow for the industry.
Lol

[BIT-BENDER]

Pls I get something to yarn, and the thing don Dey occur to much. Firstly I go like make every newbie know something there is nothing like entitlement here, directly or indirectly, that why if any newbies fall short of a rule they still pay for it, I just Dey read a post where someone they ask old members to day monitor newbies post, Omo this one na real entitlement speech, na you be the Newbie na you need guidance I think e Dey proper to find a mentor infact beg the mentor, ask for way in other to make better posting and so on, na you go they pursue am because it is beneficial for you, but you one wait make people they monitor your work for free, Omo come on. Pls stop the Newbie entitlement. We get many friendly guys way if you want make them mentor you they would do that whole heartedly.

True talk, nothing dey difficult for the forum. Na some people dey use their hand difficult things. Any person wey carry mind put for money no go carry head come down. All the senior men for here dey ready to help. No be only here, for anywhere for this forum.
E get wan adage wey talk say, person wey dey drown for water dey raise hand up make people no think say him dey swim.
BIT-BENDER don talkam, and I summarise say na person wey dey sick dey find doctor, no be the reverse.

[Pokapoka124]

Make we sef try understand say anything you dey do no forget wetin carry you come here, the signature campaign na just one shengele area of the forum nor carry all your mind put for there. If signature campaign end today wetin you don learn from this place where go fit help you for outside. Information dey here, people ready to answer your questions anytime you post am. The problem wey newbies dey face na say them no even dey practice wetin them dey read some nor even get any crypto for their wallet. Them dey hope to earn their first crypto from bounty or campaign.

[Maestro75]

Sometimes I dey reason am say when me go grow for the industry.
Lol

Why not. E go happen as long as you continue to deh contribute constructive posts here. It can take a long time but e go happen one day. See me weh don deh here since 2017 and still deh Full member but I no shake. I go rank up one day and that one I sure of.

I just Dey read a post where someone they ask old members to day monitor newbies post, Omo this one na real entitlement speech, na you be the Newbie na you need guidance I think e Dey proper to find a mentor infact beg the mentor, ask for way in other to make better posting and so on, na you go they pursue am because it is beneficial for you, but you one wait make people they monitor your work for free

Baba no go think am like that. I sure say no be like that the writer mean am. Maybe wetin him mean be say make those of us weh don deh here before him to deh put one eye for posts of our own newbies so that if we see where them fumble we go alert them to correct themselves. And no be say make we deh roam the forum for them.
