The USA govt seized 7.5 million illicit crypto accounts from Nigeria and Russia.

According to the news, the fraudster scams his victims by requesting them to send money to "false escrow entities" that their fund will use to invest into the oil and gas industry.

Assets include a Binance account, 19 BTC, 39 ETC, and over 156 TRX.

According to the news, fake accounts were opened by scammers that include different institutions.

This scam of a thing is becoming alarming and is ruining our nation. Although, it includes a fraudster from Russia too. My own concern is my nation. It is damaging our noble country's image internationally. It is unfair. Can Nigerians be trusted internationally as they used to be in the 80s anymore?

If dey employ me as a moderator or  full staff i go do ooo

Everything in this forum is not easy to get merit sef no easy as well as to sum up.
 
I believe everyone should have better source of income  and view the forum as means to learn  ;Dmore about Btc investment and to stay updated with the latest information on Bitcoin

Neither our education nor our research is sufficient
In Kwara State, known as the State of Harmony, particularly in Kwara North, there is a place called Kakafu, near Lade in the Patigi area. According to research, this settlement has existed for over ten decades. For years, the people in the area have used the land primarily for farming.

However, a significant discovery was made when a few white men visited the local government. After conducting a survey, they found that the area contains valuable mineral resources. They noted that Nigeria has not even discovered one third of its mineral wealth.

One of the minerals discovered in the area is a whitish stone that, when observed closely, takes on a brownish appearance. This mineral is used in the production of solar panels and vehicle batteries; highly valuable resources in today’s technology driven world.

Shockingly, the  people were unaware of the presence or value of such a remarkable mineral. This shows that our education system and level of research are not sufficient to help us fully identify, utilize, and benefit from our own natural resources.

Despite this, some people still say education is a scam. The truth is, we must encourage ourselves to learn, read, and carry out more research in order to increase our knowledge.

What you don't know can hold you back. Knowledge is power.

Bro, you don't know how deep this issue is. Maybe you are no longer on Nigerian soil.

Recently, during the local government elections, I traveled to my local government area to support my candidate. Before the election process could even be concluded, all the APC chairmanship candidates were declared winners.

It’s extremely discouraging and painful to witness something like that; to waste your time, effort, and money, only for your vote not to count. Hmm, it is easy to say on social media than done. I am talking from experience, I know what am saying and not lying.
 In all the 16 local government areas in my state, about 13 to 15 voted for PDP. Yet, APC was announced the winner across the board.

It has gotten to the point where it feels like, "if you can't beat them, join them." After all, everyone can be paid ; there is enough money to go around. So why waste your time trying to fight or stand up to them?

Even worse, the PDP candidates took them to court, but till today, there is no hope that justice will ever be served.

Furthermore, Tinubu is like a smart virus; he controls the INEC chairman, he controls the Chief Judge of Nigeria, and he holds the power. Just name anything that could stop him; he has it in his pocket.

You and I know that Nigerian elections are no longer real. I won’t even say too much, because most Nigerian youths are only fighting for their rights on Twitter and forums; in reality, you hardly see any of them on the ground taking action.

Education can never be a scam.
The CEO of Telegram has shared his interest and advice for students, encouraging them to focus on a particular subject to help build their future businesses. He chose mathematics. Similarly, Elon Musk advises students to choose physics. These examples from successful businessmen emphasize how important education truly is

If the entire leadership of Rivers State can be suspended over personal reasons, it clearly shows that our leaders are not upholding the constitution properly. They have no genuine love for the citizens in their hearts. It also shows that our democracy is no longer based on votes.

Recently, during the local government elections held across the country, candidates were declared winners even before INEC officials could complete the voting process. That alone tells you everything you need to know.

I sincerely wish Nigerians could vote for a political party that is neither APC nor PDP. Even the Labour Party doesn’t seem truly committed to representing the people's interests.

If Omoyele Sowore eventually contests for president, I might vote for him. Otherwise, I would rather stay home and sleep on election day because it no longer feels like our votes count. May God spare our lives.

One thing is certain: Baba Bola Tinubu is likely to win again, so let’s be prepared for it.

You are welcome, bro. I am also still learning, but with the little time I have spent here. I have learnt a lot. This is a platform of people of intellect.

As for Bitcoin and blockchain, you can read on your own. Through the Internet and Google, search for BTC and blockchain.

As the forum, you have to observe the rules and regulations of the forum strictly. You must post quality threads, no spam and no copy pasting.

Also, a very important thing: do not use AI or ChatGPT to generate data or write up. They want whatever you want to write here to be your own work; no plagiarism. Honest and sincere topics and ideas are the only ones accepted here.

After your write up, make sure you read well before you post.

You can use QuillBot.com to check your grammar, not to paraphrase with it.

quillbot.com/grammar-check.

Furthermore, you can go through the rules and regulations of every board you wish to write on. You can begin with the beginner and help section.

And also take time to observe how the members, heroes and legends write and post their threads. I.e., from their post, you can learn one or two things.

I wish you the best, bro.

Someone once told me that the founder of Bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto and that ever since its creation, he has never sold any of his Bitcoins. At first, I found it funny and hard to believe. It didn’t make sense to me that someone who created Bitcoin, which was meant to serve as an alternative means of payment after the global financial crisis, would mine it and then never sell it.

Before I started my Bitcoin journey, I didn't believe such a story. I even argued with the brother who told me about it.  The reason is that I saw his network then. And yet people still believe he has not sold any coin out of all his possessions. I didn't believe it then, but later, I decided to search online for a list of people who became multimillionaires through Bitcoin, and surprisingly, his name appeared. With various posts about it in the forum, that is when I started to believe it.

Still, if you think about it, it sounds strange, like someone who owns a bread factory, bakes plenty of bread, but does not sell any or eat any of it. That is exactly how it sounds to people who have little knowledge about Bitcoin. It used to sound that way to me too.


I am also sure he didn’t think it would work immediately. He probably believed he was doing something great that might take time to succeed.

Although it has been destined by the Almighty God that we will all die one day and leave everything behind, that should not stop us from striving.

If you choose not to struggle simply because everything will be left behind someday, life will crush you, swallow you, and drag you across the floor; and that will be a painful experience, brother.

As for the late President, he achieved a lot, and his legacy will never be forgotten. His contributions to his homeland, Daura, will be remembered forever.

My prediction was perfect at last. I told us that you shouldn't doubt Chelsea. Everyone was panicking because PSG trashed Madrid. A football match is unpredictable.

Some people even said that PSG is in form or at the top of their peak. At the final match, anything can happen. You can see now.

So if you choose Chelsea as the winner, good for you, and if you choose over 1.5 or over 2.5, good for you.

Thanks for your contributions.

I’m not condemning hard work; far from it. I’m simply pointing out how discouraging it can be when people who don’t put in as much effort as you still end up ahead due to political influence or connections.

Take our institutions, for example. A student who consistently attends lectures, studies hard, and prepares diligently for exams may end up with lower grades than someone who puts in little effort but has influence or money to manipulate the system. That is deeply painful and demoralising.

It’s the same with job opportunities. You may be well prepared and highly qualified for a position, but due to political interference, the job might be handed to someone far less deserving. Again, this is painful and discouraging.

If you find yourself working in the northern part of Nigeria, no matter how hard working you are, it is very unlikely you will be appointed as a director; unless you are in a federal government parastatal. This is the reality on the ground.

Now let me ask you: no matter how hard working and talented you are, can you truly boast that your talent alone can get you signed to the Nigerian Super Eagles team? Is talent alone what gets players signed? May be outside Nigeria or may be in the past

May be my write up was misunderstood, I didn't encouraged straight winning for both side.
I only advice ones to go for scores like over 1-5, 2-5, or more instead of choosing that PSG will win or Chealse will win.
What of if everyone choose that PSG will win and end up playing draw. This is football Final match which is unpredictable

I can not upload images right now because I'm still a junior member on the forum.
I will be placing my bet in two folds:
First, I will go for Over 1.5 goals.
Second, I will stake a bigger amount on Over 2.5 goals. But staking PSG will win.....will not bring good Odds rather Chelsea side of odds.

I am a Chelsea supporter, but most Chelase fan I have met in the past few days are panicking due to how PSG trashed Madrid.
Am trying to  reignite among chelsea supporters hope.
This is the final football matches anything can happen bro. I will go for scores prediction  not straight winning

I am confident that Chelsea will either win or draw in this World Club Cup final. Many people have already lost hope, including chelsea fans.thinking Chelsea will lose to PSG. But football is dynamic; outcomes don’t always go the way we expect, and surprises happen often.

So, if you are making a prediction or placing a bet, don’t be greedy. Avoid picking a straight win. Instead, go for goal based options. You can choose a scoreline like 2.3 or 1.2, but I would not advise betting on PSG to win outright. That is just my honest advice.

Just observe my point and choose my prediction and You will thank me later

I appreciate everyone who has contributed. I have learnt one or two things from each of us.

There is something that has been rolling in my mind. From various books I have read about investment and risk, the authors often say, "The higher the risk, the higher the return," but none of them encourage fast money or get rich quick schemes.

One of the teachings of Dr Olumide Emmanuel, a pastor and business mentor, is that anyone who is coming up financially should save and invest first from their regular income, not save or invest what is left after spending. I.e one should invest aggressively from one's earnings  before spending if ones want to beat poverty.

Now here is my personal thought: if we always say, “only invest what you can afford to lose”, then we may never really aim for greatness.

For example, I once learnt that Dangote took loans from 25 commercial banks to invest in his business. Does that mean he could afford to lose all that money? Definitely not. Before he became Africa’s richest man and before he invested billions into his refinery, he was taking major risks. Could he afford to lose everything? No! But he was ready to take bold steps.

So here is my suggestion: And I may be wrong or right; I am not encouraging anyone to borrow to invest in BTC, but this is how I see it:

One must clearly understand what they want to invest in and be genuinely ready to take the necessary risks. If we only invest what we can afford to lose, then the returns will likely be small, even if the investment turns out profitable.

I also learnt that many people have become millionaires through Bitcoin; individuals like Roger Ver and Erik Finman, for example. Although it took them time, I am not sure they only invested what they could afford to lose.

Again, the principle remains:
The higher the risk, the higher the return.
The lower the risk, the lower the return.
I would like us to look at this issue from my perspective and share thoughts

Nigeria's election is no longer judged by what the government has done or achieved while in office.

Also, your vote no longer seems to count.

As you rightly said, politics is a dirty game. Those politicians forming coalitions to bring down the APC are also deceivers. They are not genuinely concerned about Nigerians; they simply want power.

They have no concrete plans to tackle kidnapping, banditry, or insecurity.

Don’t be carried away by their moves.

A politician like El-Rufai is only against Tinubu because he feels he was not properly compensated for the sacrifices he made during the last election.

I appreciate everyone for your contributions.

There was one of my lecturers, a professor, who used to advise us that as educated individuals, we should not remain silent when people around us are spreading lies or fake rumours. He always encouraged us to politely educate those who are ignorant of the truth, rather than ignoring the situation.

I simply followed the same approach as the professor.

I was only trying to correct them and help change their mindset.

According to those guys, before I intervene, a guy was given 2 million to start a business, but he used it on cryptocurrency trading. Lost almost everything; I don't know much about the man who lost his capital. According to them, it was in the news.

I only try to enlighten them; I didn't reveal any information about myself or if I have anything to do with Bitcoin.

Your message is noted andappreciated.d
