Foreign Affairs / Re: Yemeni Drones Bomb Abu Dhabi Airport Killing 3 And Wounding 6 by akigbemaru: 8:32am On Jan 18, 2022
Benblaq:
Human intelligence comes with advantages and disadvantages.. So here's what we saw: A letter from God to man


Hey There, how, how 's it going? Long time no see. I know I haven't been around much lately, but it didn't seem like you wanted me to be. The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross. So I figured I'd just leave you to it, let you be your own boss. But I've been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it's amazing how you've grown. With your technological advances and the problems you've overthrown, and all the beautiful art you've created with such
grace and such finesse. But I admit there are a few things I'm afraid have
impressed me less. So I'm writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name, although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame. All the good I tried to do was corrupted when organised religion got into full swing. What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes. My teachings taken out of context to meet the
agendas of others, interpretations taken to many different ways and
hidden meanings discovered. Religion became a tool for the weak to control the strong. With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the
fittest was gone. No longer could the biggest man simply take
whatever he needed
'cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded. Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong. Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong. See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together. I didn't really think out a long -term plan. I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky, so you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits, Some for sustenance and some for beauty. I made the sun shine and the clouds rain, so their maintenance wasn't your duty. I tried to give each creature it's own attributes without making them enveloped. I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop. I didn't know such development would cause rifts and jealousy, cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly. You see, I wasn't really the creator, I was just the curator of nature. I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now, I don't hate you. I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers. I just laid the ground, it was you that built the towers. It was you who invented bombs and the fear that comes with them, and it was you that invented money and the corrupt economic systems. You invented terms like just -war and terms like friendly fire.
And it was You that didn't know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher. It was you that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth, and it was you that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth. It was you that used my teachings for your own personal gain. And it was you that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name.
So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued.
But this apology is to mother nature, cause I created you.
Family / Re: The Hatred I Have For My Mother Is Getting Worse by akigbemaru: 2:37pm On Jan 07, 2022
specimenv:
I hope its not my mum you are talking about? It seems we share the same mum. Its tiring abeg, mine even hid all the xmas meat because i could not contribute towards it, like she wants me to steal. I have learnt to ignore and be on my lane.


I hope you are not talking about my MOTHER too. My mother will not receive any money from me for the next 3 years as a punishment. She is extremely greed and at mere 63-year-old, she does not want to do anything in life again and wants you to focus all your life on her.

She loves MONEY more than her life and she expects you to give her all the time and she would never give you a dime.
In 2020, I gave her 900K nairas to pay her rent and buy provisions for her small shop that she did show to me. (Also the highest I gave in 2020 besides her was 285K nairas to my aunt and 245K nairas to my senior sister). The money for provisions was spent on a Celestial priestess to bind me. She gave her my pictures and she provided big candles to concoct the articles.

How did we find out? My senior sister never lived with her once, she always lived with grandma on the father's side. Because of lack of parental guidance, she became unruly and never even finished Primary School. After I gave my Mom 900K nairas, she went and brought her in to live with her and maybe she would get her life together.
But my mom can never accommodate nobody, and I warned my senior sister too. She could not even spend 2 weeks there before all hell broke out.

She said my mom does not leave keys for her and her twin boys and in a one-bedroom-n-parlor self-contain, she would come to the parlor with her toilet bowl or a plastic commode just to irritate my senior sister. She could not take it and they started fighting each other. My mother did the same to me but this time, it was her menstrual rags. Those things smell to the pit of hell. She could not afford to buy pads and would always re-wash the rags, but she could have left them outside and just watch over them. Her excuse was the JUJU people might snatch menstrual rags for VOODOO. I understand but she was just trying to kick me out of the face-me-I-face-you room that we were managing at that time.

The whole room would be smelling like abattoir. It was not even her money to rent the room, it a good Samaritan that sent money from oversea and she wanted her to get a room and parlor, but she decided to get a room and kept the rest of the money.
I lived there with her and my other 2 siblings for 19 months. Just one evening, she packed all my clothes and dumped them in open gutter. I would be sleeping; she would wake me up and send me out because she has a visitor coming and she does not want me to listen to their conversations. I was going to beat the hell out of her, but I cautioned myself and I was homeless for 2 months before I eventually got my own face-me-I-face-you room too. I had just finished High school and that also made me one of the youngest guys living on their own. Most kids after high school will still be living with their parents.

Then she went and brought a man to live with her, I was happy for her because she got a man now (since my father died long time ago and I don't give a Bleep if she gets a man), and they now lived to together. Since that day, I would never let my mother pray for me till I die. I have pardoned her and every time I send her some money from America, she would want to pray for me, I always cut her off and she knows better. She is also very secretive; she would never tell any of her children how much she was making or her salaries when she was working. First of all, not a white-collar job to warrant maybe she was making a huge money. She just would not tell anybody talk-less of giving you some money. Albeit, she wants to know everything about your own money.

To cut the long story short, the first time my sister (her first born) stepped into the apartment to start living with her. My mom ran an errant and that gave my sister the opportunity to look further in the apartment. She found the giant candles with my pictures tied to them and some nonsense wrapped around them. Now, my sister was looking for ways to find out the reason why she had to bind me like that. She finally confessed that the Cele-lady was powerful that I don't use to give her money like that but after the lady did the binding, she started receiving money from me.

I don't believe in Hoppus Copus, but my only worry is, why would a woman that has retired from everything would bind someone that is just starting life? I am in late 30s and don't have children yet and yes, I am just starting life. Within the 3 years that I won't be talking to her, I want to start having kids too. I will be in Nigeria this year to arrange all that.

That is why Western Society does not allow anybody to leech on anybody. Most adults of my age in America, only think about 401K or retirement plans. They don't give their parents or siblings any dime. You will want to help people in Nigeria, and they still want to go extra miles on you. I am paranoid about everything in Nigeria. If my mother could bind me, what about the new wife that has recently come into my life?!

I just had to quote you man.

Been suffering from Constipation since July till now. Once in a while, I get like 3/4 days of freedom and it comes back again. Eba, Bread, Tea, and Coffee are regular food for me.

I dey even plan to chop am this evening sef
But it appears that I need to really think things through cos the pain can be so unbearable and frustrating.

How did you defeat it and do you still deal with it once in a while. I no wan carry this thing enter next year.


Constipation will never go away as it depends on the kind of meals you consume. Just keep the Oatmeal around all the time and if you feel that you are constipated again, just drink some. Bread and solid eba or fufu will always be culprits in constipation.

You didn't take cognizance of the wise saying that, "Abuse does not take away use". The fact that state or community police could be abused by governors is not enough reason to dismiss it. It's just like saying that a baby should not practice how to walk because he or she may fall down. Have you seen a baby that starts walking immediately after birth? Probably in Buhari's world.

In better climes, the job of maintaining public law and order is often left to the states, communities and local councils. Then, there may be a federal police force for handling inter-state crimes. But in Nigeria, the contrary is the case. And we know why. Buhari's kinsmen who are roaming about our forests wouldn't try such if we have state police or community police.

If we don't start putting structures in place to deepen our democratic experience, we will continue to fumble and wobble as a nation. The ongoing security crisis in the North will be a child's play to what will eventually befell Nigeria.

So, killings and Ethnic cleansing under a lopsided police and army is the best?

Under the present circumstances, 95% of the police commissioners are fulani people. The IGP is a fulani man. Over 60% of the DPO and DCO are all fulani. And the fulani is just less than 4% of Nigeria population.

When the northerners start their killing spree in the south, they always have all the police and army protection they need because their brothers will protect and urge them on. This leads to immediate casualties and arrest of anyone that is not a northerner.

There can never be enforcement of anti grazing laws in the south because the police command structure is controlled by the same fulani that owns the cows.

There is much crime in the south because Adamus and Abduls that doesn't know anything about the terrain are in control of police formations and criminals will be running amok knowing that the Adamus knows motjing about the terrain they operate. They are just bribe collecting robots intent on checkpoint profits.

State police will help the locals who are the real stakeholders to police their domain in the way they want, nobody can do anyhow because we know his address. Police brutality will be reduced to the minimum because there will not be any Northern policeman who will shoot innocent people and get an automatic transfer back to Jigawa state where he continues him crimes.

None of these African bastards talked about the being an underage girl. In a civilized world, where this overt form of slavery has been outlawed would have pressed charges against the maid’s boss and put the maid in a beautiful foster home.
Abraham Lincoln said and I quote as he was about emancipate the black folks in USA: those who deny others of Liberty and Freedom deserve nothing too.
Is it not ironic that that the black folks who went through the triple whammy brunt of subjugation, slavery and acculturation, would still continue to indulge this overt form of slavery in modern day.

Now the police not even talking about the juvenile court here and the little girl should be freed as she commits no crime. She was like, before you take my freedom, I will take away your happiness.

Ozid:
Compliments of the Season to you all. Here are some things to do in 2022 if you don't want to be disrespected.

(1) Stop looking for who is not looking for you.
(2) Stop begging.
(3) Stop saying more than is necessary.
(4) When people disrespect you, confront them immediately.
(5) Don't eat other people's food more than they eat yours.
(6) Reduce how you visit some people, especially if they don't visit you as well
(7) Invest in yourself. Make yourself happy. Stop entertaining gossip about other people.
(9) Think before you talk. 80% of how people value you is because of what comes out of your mouth.
(10) Always look your best. Dress the way you should be addressed.
(11) Be an achiever. Get busy with your goals.
(12) Respect your time.
(13) Don't stay in a relationship where you don't feel respected and valued. Walk away.
(14) Learn to spend money on yourself. That's how people will learn to spend on you.
(15) Be scarce sometimes.
(16) Be a giver more than a receiver.
(17) Don't go where you are not invited. And when invited don't overstay your welcome.
(18) Treat people exactly the way they deserve.
(19) Except they owe you money, two call attempts is enough. If they value you they will call you back.
(20) Be good at what you do. Be the best.

I hope you learn from this, thanks.

Polygamy is only interesting when the kids are young.

The demerits of polygamy, especially in wealthy homes, start to manifest when the kids grow to understand the realities of life.

Things fall apart if the polygamous father dies intestate.


Except Davido makes a will, 60 years from today, these pretty moulds of pure beauty and innocence won't be sitting in one room. Even if they do, it wouldn't be without deep hatred, suspicion and envy.

Last year I was one of those who claimed that the institution of marriage has outlived its importance until I encountered the case of a polygamist whose younger children are unable to complete their education abroad because of his demise. His estate is valued at 10 billion naira and the court battle just commenced. These cases last up to three decades most times and are continued by Grand Children.

Don't get it wrong, there's rivalry and strive between children of same mother but nowhere near the scenes of shame children of different mothers act for inheritance.

Please I need some clarification. I just opened metamask and learnt how to transfer bnb from kucoin to metamask to swapping on pancakeswap. Geez! To make money no easy. My concern is that I experimented with $20 usdt from kucoin. Bought $20usdt worth of bnb and made all the transfers and conversion. Upon swapping from bnb to usdt, max usdt I could get was $9.47! I was shocked! Is that how it is? Less than 50% of what I started with? Geez! Are the fees in percentage or a fixed amount? Because I don't understand again o. What if I had transferred $200usdt,does it mean I will only have less than a 100 when it's time to swap to paper? Biko help me, my brain is truninonitown! Thanks

Hehe.... Usually, after a huge win, the tendency is there to become complacent and overconfident leading to huge losses afterwards. Also, with such wins, it's difficult to guage the try state of the market.

What I do is use profits to buy betece or eith. Now, more options are available. One can buy stables and lock-stake them for at least a week until the hype dies down.

Happy new year

Ftm is a tricky one due to bitc0ins PA. I'm leaning towards Bitc0in coming down to take out 42k low hence I've largely held out on adding to alyts except for matic and crv I bought in early December.
I largely hold (and trade) layer 1s on the back of their projects. FTM is not held it before and largely unaware of it's chain.... But I gather it does have exciting stuff under the hood. Also, it has a synthetic stable coyn (like UST). Not so sure how much it's grown. It was the development of UST that made me load up on Luna at 40.

Looking at its charts, 3 things I note

1. The last monthly close against USD was a monster one.... Such a candle could easily push prices up. I see similar candles against bnb and betece

2. Looking at the TVL and comparing that to the market cap across it and other chains, ftm does look impressive. It's market cap is relatively modest while still having good value locked. It was on this metric I bought CRV which has paid off

3. The daily looks like a bullflag which is about to breakout. The weekly OTOH, looks different. I'd wait for a weekly to close as a weekly candle closing this way could easily push prices in the opposite direction as on previous occasions to retest support.

In summary, like with layer 1s I hold, e.g Luna, Avax, if I'm bullish on the chain, I look for opportunities to buy, make earnings holding the coyn and average out when my targets are hit or market conditions change. With the hype around it, if it does pullback to between 1.5-1.7, I'd buy some..

Most Nigerian are quick to scream blue murder whenever a political/public office holder is accused of corruption. But really, should we be so surprised?


In a country ravaged by inflation it is hard (if not near impossible) for a public servant not to dip hands into the nations coffers whenever the opportunity arises. When the President earns less than 1.2m naira monthly, imagine what others earn.

Judges/Ministers/Head of Service etc all earn just about 700,000 per month. It is from this salary they are expected to feed, cloth, pay medicals, transport take care of their children and family, including community and the hoard of Nigerian friends, allies, villagers etc that come seeking for financial assistance?

5 Reasons Cryptocurrencies Can Crash in 2022
The hottest investment is at risk of a bubble-bursting event next year.
As Written By Sean Williams.

Key Points

The aggregate value of all digital currencies has risen 176% in 2021.
Despite these gains, the crypto market is at serious risk of a major pullback or crash in the upcoming year.

Motley Fool Issues Rare “All In” Buy Alert

When the curtain closes on 2021, it'll go down as another solid year for the stock market. Through Dec. 13, the benchmark S&P 500 had more than doubled (+24%) its average annual total return of 11% over the previous four decades.

But for cryptocurrencies, things haven't been good -- they've been outstanding. Since the year began, the aggregate value of digital currencies has increased by 176% to $2.14 trillion. Investors have been driven by the excitement surrounding decentralized applications and decentralized finance (DeFi), the rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and the mammoth potential for blockchain-based gaming in the metaverse. And let's face it, cryptocurrencies are also chasing life-altering gains, such as the more than 45,000,000% year-to-date increase in meme-coin Shiba Inu (CRYPTO:SHIB).

However, the upcoming year may not treat digital currencies as kindly. What follows are five reasons cryptocurrencies, as a whole, could crash in 2022.
A visibly worried person looking at a rapidly rising then plummeting crypto chart on a tablet.

1. History suggests reversions are commonplace

To begin with, history suggests that the crypto market is in trouble. Even though big upswings have occurred frequently over the past decade, reversions following these upswings are commonplace, too.

Since the March 2020 bottom, the total value of all digital currencies has jumped more than 14-fold to $2.14 trillion. This is somewhat similar to the 35-fold increase in total market value over roughly 10 months between March 2017 and January 2018. However, following the January 2018 spike, the aggregate value of all cryptocurrencies would go on to decline by just shy of 90% over the subsequent 11 months.

We've witnessed similar reversions in individual cryptos that delivered life-altering gains, as well. Popular tokens like Nano, XRP, and Litecoin produced peak short-term gains ranging from 24,000% to nearly 462,000%. All went on to lose 93% to 99% of their value in a 12-month to 26-month stretch.

The point is this: [/b]Trading euphoria always retraces in a big way in the cryptocurrency space[/b]

2. Blockchain euphoria outpaces its use case

People have every right to be excited about the future potential for blockchain technology. DeFi offers the possibility of making almost instantaneous cross-border payments at low cost and can democratize the process to ensure even emerging-market residents can take part. There are also smart contract-based blockchains that can revolutionize supply chains.

But if there's one constant with every single next-big-thing technology, it's that investors always -- and I mean always -- overestimate how quickly a new technology or service will be adopted. We've watched it happen with the advent of the internet, business-to-business commerce, genomics, 3D printing, and now, blockchain technology.

While blockchain is exciting, it's simply not widely adopted yet, nor anywhere close to broad-based adoption. Businesses are unlikely to jump at the chance to support large-scale projects until there's evidence of its real-world effectiveness. Yet we won't get this evidence until businesses welcome blockchain with open arms. It's quite the conundrum/Catch-22 that could stall this monster rally.

3. An inability to decouple from the stock market

Another reason cryptocurrencies might crash in 2022 is their inability to decouple from the stock market.

In many ways, digital currencies are viewed as independent assets and a hedge to the broader market. For example, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) offers the perception of a limited token supply that's capped at 21 million. With the U.S. money supply soaring, investors view Bitcoin as something of a safe-haven investment that'll help store and grow their wealth -- better than the ever-diluted U.S. dollar, at least.

The problem is that cryptocurrencies haven't held up well when the stock market undergoes crashes or corrections. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the S&P 500 approached bear market territory (a decline of 20%). Meanwhile, the aggregate value of cryptocurrencies plunged from around $222 billion to roughly $130 billion over the same stretch (a 41% drop). The crypto market was also pummeled during the five-week coronavirus crash in February and March 2020.

I offer this warning because there are a growing number of clues to suggest the stock market will crash or undergo a double-digit percentage correction in 2022.

4. Margin debt wreaks havoc

Look no further than margin debt for a fourth reason cryptocurrencies could plunge in the upcoming year.

Margin describes the amount of money investors are borrowing with interest to purchase or short-sell securities. In some instances, investors using margin to lever their trades can supercharge their returns. But if the securities being purchased on margin don't move in the expected direction over the short term, the brokerages offering those loans could come calling. They'll either want investors to put up extra capital as collateral or could require/force the sale of assets. This is known as a margin call.

Because the crypto-exchange space is so fragmented, it's not exactly clear how much margin debt is outstanding. But make no mistake about it -- offers to deploy leverage aren't difficult to find.

Earlier this year, it was possible for certain investors to utilize 100 times leverage on their cash position when trading Bitcoin. At such immense leverage, even a 1% or 2% move in Bitcoin (which happens often in the blink of an eye) could lead to a margin call and forced liquidation.

If the music suddenly stops in the cryptocurrency market, margin calls could be right around the corner.


5. Meme coins lose their magic

Last but not least, don't be surprised if the popular "fear of missing out" (FOMO) moves suck the life out of the cryptocurrency market in 2022.

This year, pretty much any coin named after the Japanese Shiba Inu dog breed has been on fire. The aforementioned Shiba Inu has gained more than 45,000,000%, while Dogecoin and Floki Inu are higher by 3,119% and 2,763%, respectively, through Dec. 13.

But these meme coins all share one key trait: They lack anything resembling a competitive advantage.

Shiba Inu may be one of the most-searched digital currencies this year, but social-media hype doesn't translate to real-world appeal or long-term potential. The fact of the matter is that Shiba Inu is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain that's subject to the same high fees and processing lag that often impacts Ethereum's network. Nothing about Shiba Inu (or Dogecoin and Floki Inu, for that matter) suggests it'll be the payment coin of choice by businesses in an increasingly crowded field of blockchain projects.

If the FOMO that's driven investors into meme coins subsides, we could watch crypto euphoria quickly evaporate, as well.
Remember these are just detailed speculations buh trade with caution bcuz an indecisive market could either lead to a consolidation breakout or an somewhat endless bearish loop of bleeding bla bla bla, everything is alrdy set in motion and what the bear traders need come early 2022 is just a myriad of major and minor Fuds to make them frolic under the heavy bear weather....

sircatherine45:


I get the info from coinmarketcap and coingecko. I mainly use coins in the BNB blockchain because fees are cheap, and also scalability. If I'm interested in a coin, I check the blockchain first. I dislike Ethereum because gas fees are high. After that, I copy the contract address, and add it manually on TrustWallet. Then I use PancakeSwap to convert my BNB to BSC.

I'm thinking of doing a PDF on it.

MY PERSONAL RULES PART 1


WHALES RULE THE CRYPTO INDUSTRY...

The success of a crypto project is always based on three things, and they are Liquidity, Hype and community. The number one determinant is liquidity and whales bring liquidity to project, even if your coin has the best use case in the whole world, without liquidity it is useless. So, i would position myself early in a project likely to be promoted by alameda, 3AC or Black edge ETC compared to ordinary project because they are whales.
EDGE token and ICP token have the same use case, but ICP is currently top 50 while EDGE is discovering oil (Edge is also older than ICP).
I could write a book about how the whale control everything but let's just keep it simple.

DON'T TRADE FUTURES (Do spot instead)
There are one thousand and one ways to make money in the industry futures just happen to be one of them. Don't get me wrong i trade futures too but i use very little percentage of my portfolio except i have received a strong FA (FINANCIAL ANALYSIS).

There are some influencers with large followers, if they post TA (TECHNICAL ANALYSIS), i tend to so futures with the coins they post, not because i believe in their TA but because of SELF FULFILLING PROPHESY. If someone with 500k followers post that Shiba will go up, if 50% of his followers buy into that hype, it is only natural for the coin to go up hence the self-fulfilling prophesy.

Secondly playing futures is like playing the Casino, the house always wins. These exchanges have real time data of long and short, they also have the funds to dictate the market, and they have analyst with years of experience monitoring these data, i don't see how you are getting away with this statistically. And please don't tell me about your friends that became a millionaire through trading futures, there is always an exception to all rules.

INFORMATION AND CONTROL IS VERY IMPORTANT.

With enough information and control you can measure the risk accordingly. I was watching a YouTube video about a retired drug cartel. He said he prefer to sell his drug to UK rather than other countries where the profit is maximum, he knows how the security in the EU works, so he'd rather sell in less risky country and make his profit rather than being greedy.
There is also a time we had a contact that would tell us about token that has been approved to be listed on binance or Huobi, we would pay about 1BeeTeeC per information.
We also have friends who are community manager of various project that would give us information before they are published. when you have access to some information you chance of losing money is really slim.
Real source of information are mostly on telegram, WhatsApp and your friends working for the said project. if an information made it to the social media like twitter, then it's already too late.
Also, the best way to lose your money quickly is to be following twitter calls

90% OFF ALL THE TOKEN WILL FAIL

If you are new getting into this space, please know this and know peace. 99% of meme token fail after 18 months so the chance of your meme token making you a millionaire is less than one percent. Please and please learn to take profit and leave moon bag, this is supposed to be a marathon not a sprint, there will always be better opportunity as long as you are not lazy.
Most people that made millions with their token are rich before the said token, so if you are just getting into the space the best thing to do is to build liquidity (capital ), continue building capital until you can afford basic amenities even if you lose 90% of your portfolio.

LEARN TO DO SIMPLE DATA ANALYSIS

Please and please learn to calculate simple token metrics, learn how market cap is calculate it will help you a lot in measuring your risk. One guy was telling me SHIBA will enter $1, i told him that would make SHIBA a $1 quadrillion market cap, that is about times 10 of Bitcoin, i asked if that make sense to him, he said no.
If you want to go far in the place learn to do simple research and data analysis on your own, you don't need to become Guru, a simple understanding of coinmarketcap is enough.

YOU CAN MAKE A CAREER OUT OF CRYPTO.

There are many sides to crypto and they are: -
OTC TRADING, Community management, Funds management, Farming , Investing in seed and private sales, Crypto consulting, Meme Maker ( companies would hire you to make meme, NFT flipper, Software Engineer ( of course ) ETC list is endless.
There are many opportunities in the space if you can look beyond the buying and selling sh!tcoins .

DON'T FOMO OPPORTUNITIES WILL ALWAYS COME

I can't stress this enough, personally i don't buy top 100 coins, let me do an analysis for you. I see a lot of people hyping the SAND token, the token is currently trading at 6 dollars about 6 billion market cap and about 20 billion diluted market cap, if i have 1000 dollars to invest, I’d rather do research on other metaverse projects with very low cap and invest rather than invest in sand because my 1000 will turn 5000 at best which is 5x my capital , but if i use the 1000 to invest in 3 metaverse projects there is high probability that i am doing 100x with them.
Yes the sand token has reputation but as long as sand is pumping other metaverse project will always pump no matter what, if sand dump then other metaverse project will dump along with it, maybe dump harder. If you are working with very low capital, you have no business trading top token, they are for whales

TO convert to usdt Bep-20 use pancakeswap. To convert to Weth I'm afraid you'll have to use UNISWAP for that. And Uniswap won't recognise your "BSC" type of ethereum. Which means you'll have to send it to Binance to convert it to normal ETH, then send it back to Trust wallet using ERC. All these means hefty transaction fees, so be prepared.

Car Talk / Re: Tokyolt: World's First 'Dual-Mode Vehicle' To Begin Operation In Japan by akigbemaru: 10:53am On Dec 25, 2021
Eriokanmi:
Amazing! This was first invented by Americans but they couldn't develop it. They concentrated only on train aspect. Anyone who watches fox news advert where an ancient car was running on rail tracks would remember this.

Our leaders, if they truly want something good for Nigeria, would embrace restructuring else, we'd remain in same position for another 20 years . Amazingly, time flies like birds in the sky. When Abacha was shouting vishin 2020( i.e vision 2020) in those days, we thought 2020 was far reaching, as if it would never come. Our leaders lack sincerity of purpose at heart.

With restructuring, there would be no case of 2 civil servants owning over 300 houses in Nigeria when they're not dangote or estate developers. Dangote doesn't even own 50. If someone could say he owns only one house in lagos and one in abuja, you can imagine how many houses dangote owns altogether, in spite of his riches.

There would be no case of an ordinary accountant under the ministry of power to be owning 75 houses in choice locations in abuja and over 50 cars, and we'd expect stable electricity. Sadly , these guys are fulanis and nothing had been done to prosecute them. They only said 2 civil servants own over 300 houses but failed to parade them. Had they been southerners, their names would have made headlines with media trials for a year.

In the last 5 years, I can't point to one meaningful achievement of our government, no scientific discoveries in any area. The continuation of the rail projects they met which they're celebrating keeps gulping money like no man's business.

With restructuring, each region would harness her scarce resources for the betterment of their region and country Nigeria. Otherwise na like this we go dey dey oo. Enough said .

Africans! Nigerians! Zombies of the highest order.

I bet you in the end, Africans are just good examples on how humans are not supposed to live.

It's quite sad that when you get to Mali, Cameron's, Niger, Ghana and even to South Africa mostly part populated by blacks and the rest of the subharan Africa you'd get to notice that every of our sense of thoughts either rich or poor is all wired the same, first it's always the battle of the first generation of how to escape poverty then, how to not get broke again later how your generation would never be poor again forgetting that it takes just one wretched child, sad incidence or whatever for all that's ever worked for to be gone in a day, everyone is just all about themselves, just themselves that's why you see greed, selfishness and corruption thrives best cause to everyone Africa is just but how to survive, this is where everyone doesn't just want to live in, everyone sincerely just wants to be free from this contraption and if not for taxes and strict laws Abroad, every rich individual would be doing business in Nigeria from Abroad also if our politicians had a chance they'd rule Nigeria from abroad same way Buhari is doing that's why you see even the least councilors and local government chairman don't stay in their local government, most of them live either secretly or publicly in the capital city because of course that's the best place to live? Who'd want to live in the village filed with people who expects that because you work for government you need to dash people money around and if you don't do as expected you'd be termed selfish and this might trampled your political career so if you want to be that good politician, you must be a giver and from which purse are they expected to give if not stealing from the government purse to please the people as such to every one kobo given, one naira is deducted from the government purse which was meant to serve real underlying projects, contracts or whatever but because Nigerians themselves are greedy, they'd expect the big man to give not minding if he's splashing the money meant for government contracts.

Government official is not supposed to dash people money but here in Africa, you see governors buying vehicles for paramount rulers and we clap for them for breaking the codes of thee Public Service but the prime minister of UK renovated his house, BOOM everyone started questioning where he got the funds cause its a transparent world there and everything must be done transparently but here in Africa, people who head government schools don't even have their kids in government school (just like a restaurant owner not eating from his restaurant) but we have sycophants clapping all along for what's wrong.


Nigerians are going through alot but to be sincere, everyone just merits the measure of pain we are going through because we are just not so different from how we want our leaders not to be.

A Nigerian entrepreneur would maltreat his employees at the slight chances then uses same mouth to criticize the government.

A Nigerian common security at the gate of an organizations feels its rather wise to oppress, extort others all for the fact that he's the security man.

Nigerians don't just care about the next door neighbor and sometimes even members of the family don't care about their family members too, everyone is just about themselves that's why you see life in Africa is just battle of the fittest and only the strong lives while the rest continues in the race of survival, eat small food, build small houses, have a small car or sometimes non and what next? Die leaving your family to with the choice of selling off your property to bury you cause you were the all in all, you never thought of opportunities you could present for others to rise and in the end all that you've worked for just gone like that.

No one cares!

In schools, it's student against lecturers, lecturers against management and management against their respective state government or federal.

In the society, its government against the people and the people against government

Police against the people, everyone just has their measure of evil against the next person. I have watched a female officer shut the door on a poor boy who came for an interview just because she didn't like the boys dress; what if that was the only pairs of cloth which the boy had?

If only we cared about what our next generations would look like, the kind of environment you'd wish for them to grow we as a people would already be pushing the government, pressuring them on what to and what not to at every point in time.

Everyone is judging the camera man but in the end have you ever wondered or asked yourself why a boy of that age with no source of income, impregnates a girl and start a family when he is being sustained by another person? Have we ever thought about the future of the kid who'd grow up with no opportunity morally, technically, educationally and every "ally". This sh**t happens everywhere, children raising children under the parents roof. Ave we ever thought of the poor child, the difficult and struggles of life the child will see? I though children were the foundation of the society? Ave we wondered what foundation our kids are raised? If child rights law in Nigeria was successfully effected & implented, in the first place, what would trigger a person who can't take care of himself to want to raise a child after the fore knowledge of the impending danger that would befall him from the government if the child is not properly taken care of? Of course you know about child support, that way people can only raise kids when ready and not when it rains, also we can start from raising a sane society.

The rate rate of suicide in the country the past years is alarming, it clearly shows everything is wrong in the society. People who commits suicide sometimes don't want to die but just wants their pain, challenges to go away.

Graduates will finish from school, no work and the next advise is for he/she to start getting is to start a business, from which money?

I pity Africans cause we will never grow with this attitude
Crime / Re: Witchcraft And Charms Are Illegal In Nigeria. Read What The Law Provides On Them by akigbemaru: 12:10am On Nov 28, 2021
Hugged:
People own charms for various reasons. Some use it to protect themselves from danger, while others use it to cause their fellow humans harm. However, no matter your reason for having charms in your possession it is still regarded as illegal.

Chapter 20 of the Criminal Code specifically makes provisions for the possession of witchcraft, juju, and criminal charms. In this article we would examine what the law provides on charms, juju and witchcraft.

According to Section 210 of the Criminal Code, any person who fits into certain categories will be guilty of an offence. These categories include:

1. Any person who by statements or actions represents himself as a witch

2. Any person who accuses or threatens to accuse any person with being a witch or having the power or witchcraft

3. Any person who makes, sells, uses or has in his possession any charm, juju or drug which has powers

4. Any person who directs, controls or takes part in the worship or invocation of any juju prohibited by the state commissioner

5. Any person who is in possession or has control over any human remains used or intended to be used in the worship or invocation of any juju

6. Any person who makes, assists in making or has in his possession anything believed to be associated with human sacrifice or other unlawful practice

Anyone suspected to be under any of the categories listed above would be guilty of a misdemeanour. He or she would be liable to an imprisonment term of two years.

An offender who fits into any of the categories above must be arrested with a warrant.

Furthermore, according to Section 213 of the Criminal Code, any person who makes or sells charms that has the power to protect criminals or delay the course of justice would be guilty of a felony. He or she would be liable to an imprisonment term of five years.

P3 = good projects, good fundamentals, credible people running them. Potential to 5-10x medium to long term. (Long term = end of the year)
