Re: Question to all men

One of the most impactful lessons I learned came from my mom, who inspired me to see life as a stage where everyone plays their part. She told me, "Wherever a vehicle can drive, a person walking can reach too; it’s just a matter of time." This powerful reminder instils the belief that with patience and perseverance, we can all achieve our dreams, regardless of the pace of our journey.

Re: Politics is a dirty game.

I dislike when you guys see politics as a dirty game, its not please, I'm a political scientist just because there are dirty people playing the game in this part of the world doesn't make it a dirty game generally. Its a game of interest, to serve the best interest of the people when elected, and to solve a societal issues. if you understand  politics you will know its a service game not where you enter to enrich yourself, in fact in the western world people do not think about it, they see it a stress game for servicing people when you should use the time to build one-self, that is why people don't see  politicians as anything in an aspect of sing praises for them, just as we do in Africa. because they are mere workers.

In Nigeria, buccaneers, blood suckers and ritualists has join the game and  has make the  game of politics look like a dangerous one, because if you dare challenge them they will kill you. Technocrats has shifted attention from the game of politics , its now left for dangerous men in the country, and all they do is to enrich themselves with the resources given to them to better the society, they embezzled the funds and there is no consequence for it. That is the  only dirty i see in this part of the world.

As a political scientist, there's no wrong you trying to defend your field of study. But take it or leave it, politics as we all know is a dirty game because of the activities behind it. And I don't think without these activities, politics will be what it is. And these activities happens not only in Nigeria.
I'm going to state out few of these activities so you understand what I'm trying to say.

Controlling information and the media is a key activity behind politics during elections. Politicians use friendly media outlets to promote themselves while spreading negative news about their opponents to reduce their popularity. In some cases, misinformation or rumors are spread secretly through social media, news papers and local networks just to damage the reputation of oppositions so they can influence public opinion in their favour.

Politicians often make agreements with influential individuals, local chiefs, business people, and even rival political parties in exchange for votes or future favors. These alliances are important for gaining the support of different communities and for controlling key areas during elections. In many cases, promises of government positions, contracts, or protection are made to secure loyalty and resources from these groups.

Vote influence and control is another critical hidden activity. In some regions, politicians may engage in vote buying, offering money, food, or small gifts in exchange for votes. They may also use intimidation or threats to discourage people from voting for opponents. In some cases, they try to prevent voters from rival strongholds from voting by creating fear or confusion about the voting process.

This isn't the place to linkdump AI-generated crap.

Before sharing the link here, I checked to see if the article was generated by AI(GPTZero), but it confirmed that it was written by a human. While many people in this forum may already know how to safeguard their hardware wallets, there are also those who are new to cryptocurrency and might not have any prior knowledge. That’s why they are seeking information here.

Re: If you had infinite money, would you still gamble?

Gambling includes plethora of games, various sports to bet on but doesn't it all boil down to money in the end? More the money involved, more the thrill.

Suppose, as title says — you had infinite amount of money, would you still gamble?

Personally, I can't see myself giving two fucks when I don't care for money in first place. Would you?

Nah, I won't venture into gambling when my money is infinite. The sole aim of gambling is to win and double up the cash. There's definitely no need for me to gamble anymore.

Re: Do we have hope for a better change in Nigeria?

on 09/07/2025, 04:35:57 UTC
So far all comments here are quite important but I wanted to see any further suggestions on how possible the country can be further improved or what the youths should do to avoid be part of the suffering community. I love seeing some people living independent life in a country of chaos or anarchy and adject poverty. What more improves point can we come up with please?

The only time Nigeria can ever get better as a nation, is when we all accept to be one . Tribalism is the major factor that has been eating up Nigeria since it's creation. If an Hausa man is in power, the the Igbos or Yorubs always sees it as a problem.
If we can overlook our different tribes and ethnicity, Nigeria can move forward. Appointments should be based on competence not ethnicity.
This would ensure that the most qualified individual hold positions of power rather than those who are best connected ethnically.

Not in Naija oh! Having the introduction of Bitcoin into the Nigerian system as one of your manifesto as a Presidential candidate won't guarantee you victory. It's definitely a good idea but I don't see it walking you through to Aso Rock. We all know, what wins you an election in Nigeria politics is more money and manipulation of results.

Xabi Alonso usually rotate payers and if Rodrigo will be calm and start next season with Real Madrid am sure he will get is space back if he perform very nice next season. Real Madrid are really ready to perform next season to challenge Barcelona to stop them win the laliga for the second term. Let see how the competition will go next season.


The world cup is fast approaching. Rodrigo needs to be in the first eleven so he can participate fully in the up coming world cup with the Brazil national team. I don't see him being called up if he doesn't get much minutes.

Re: Observation on life needs
by
Dulen007
on 08/07/2025, 18:53:42 UTC
I have observed that if you increase your needs, the new 'increased need state' becomes your new norm after a while. For example, if you didn't have car before but then you purchase it, use it regularly and then when you don't have it anymore — you'll miss your car, you'll feel like you can't live without it even though you managed to live without it before.

Do you agree with this observation? Would you agree that it's better to not increase your needs in first place?

Research suggests that humans tends to adapt to a new circumstances, weather positive or negative, and return to a baseline level of happiness.

Your car example illustrates this perfectly. When you first get a car, it's exciting and convenient. Overtime, you adapt to having it, and it becomes your new normal. If you lose access to the car, you might feel a sense of loss or inconvenience, even if you managed without one before.

This phnomenom applies to various aspect of life, including material possession, relationships and even experiences. The key take away is that increased needs or desire can lead to a circle of craving and dissatisfaction.

Re: As an experience gambler what is your advice to newcomers
by
Dulen007
on 08/07/2025, 18:20:32 UTC
From your experiences in gambling what are the best possible advise you would give to someone who is intending to gamble or to join gambling?  What are the best gambling markets you would advise people to join for instance (sports or casino) and if casinos what are the games you know is that easier to make winning, slot, roulette and ect.

We have talked more about gambling addiction, so let focused on other areas where we can also be happy telling someone the areas of gambling to focus and make winning.

Setting limits is very important when it comes to gambling. Decide how much you can afford to spend and stick to it.

Also, try to understand the rules and odds that goes with the game. This Way, you can simply enjoy the game without getting caught off guard.

As a newbie to gambling, always have it in mind that losses are a part of the game. I'll advise you not to chase losses or bet more than what you can afford.
Instead, take a break and come back the next day.

Re: Diogo Jota : 1996-2025
by

on 04/07/2025, 07:33:11 UTC


As a Liverpool fan since the first time I watched, I fell in love until now I am still loyal even though there are ups and downs every season with the squad coming and going.

Through this topic, I want to convey a message that many people already know that one of the important players who made a big history at Anfield has gone and rests in peace.

He is Diogo Jota.
Born December 4, 1996.
It all ended too soon.

I will leave this open for 1 week.

My heart goes out to the family, friends, and fans of Diogo Jota, the incredible Liverpool and Portugal forward who left us too far soo.
It's really unimaginable that at just 28 yrs, Jota's life was cut short in a tragic car accident alongside his brother Andre Silva.

Jota was more than just an exceptional footballer, he was a beacon of joy, admired by teammate and opponents alike. His legacy will live on through countless memories he created on and off the pitch. From his thrilling goals to his infectious smile. Jota brought happiness to millions.

My thoughts are with his wife, Ruth Cardoso, and their three beautiful children, who lost a loving husband and father far too soon. It's heartbreaking that Jota's recent wedding celebration turned into a devastating loss. May his family find strength in the memories they shared with him.

To his teammates, fans and the entire football community, I'm sure his passion, dedication and love for the game will forever be remembered.
REST ON JOTA! Your legacy will continue to inspire future generations.

But also understand say sometimes, our decision fit come out right or maybe wrong. So prepare your mind to accept the fate that comes up with your decision. If e favour you, just smile and say Thank God but if e no go according to your wish, still smile and say God knows better. Because life dea like a coin with two sides(head & tail).
Whatever the outcome, just accept it that way and try and!!!

Re: Planning on starting any business?

on 28/06/2025, 19:12:34 UTC
Most businesses fail in the first couple of years. It’s just so hard to run a profitable business in the current climate so I am full of respect for anybody who is able to do so. It takes a lot of risk, but if you can be successful then I can envisage it being so rewarding.

When starting a business, two important factors can make or break your venture. These are understanding your target market and effective financial plan.

1.Understanding your target market: Conducting thorough market research helps you identify opportunities, challenges and potential customers. By knowing your target audience's needs, preferences and pain points, you can easily tailor your products and services to meet their demands. This understanding enables you to develop effective marketing strategies, build strong customers relationships and drive business with.

2. Effective financial plan: Financial planing is critical to the success of any business. It involves creating a comprehensive plan, securing funding, managing cash flow and making smart financial decisions. By having a solid financial foundation, you can handle the challenges of entrepreneurship, invest in growth opportunities, and ensure the long term sustainnablity of your business.

By focusing on these two foundations, you can set up your business up for success and build a strong foundation for growth and profitability.
