Another lady complaining about artificial nails. It's like artificial nails have a detrimental effect on natural nails.

AutoChick4U:
I've long stopped since I noticed my natural nails are pretty without artificial.

Shouldn't it be the fault of the people that fix nails? Maybe they don't know what they are doing.

Xilsbridalhouse:
I was able to stop this nonsense during my days in school...I wanted to feel among but my beautiful nails that everyone used to admire became something else after removing the artificial nails, so I stopped quickly.

The people that fixed the nails for you should be held responsible.

How do I do research on cryptocurrencies to know which ones would benefit me financially?

Dogberry:
I do agree with you about Bitcoin (BTC) being the future of currency. Though there's some errors in your text, which I think you copied and pasted from some website. Anyway, I general you got the bigger picture captured.

Yes, BTC has started a new future in currency. BTC is supposed to be decentralized, but that's not completely correct anymore. Mining is done by many people, but the block chains are owned by only 5 major mining companies with batteries of superfast computers to mine the BTC's. In other words: the majority of remaining BTC's will eventually be in possession of the 'elite few companies'. Similar to how the current currency system works.

The current currency system is not backed by gold anymore. This is already for a long time not the case. For example the US Dollar is simply based on debt. With the fractional reserve system attached to that, central banks (in this case the FED) can create money out of nothing and have the tax payers pay for it. Without debt, money wouldn't exists. (There's plenty information available about this topic on e.g. youtube)

Bitcoin has lost a lot of its initial essence of being a new decentralised currency. Also the prices are quite challenging for average people to make serious money out of the BTC if one was to go for mid-long term investment. Today BTC broke again through the $3000 barrier ($3180 as I write this), which leaves many people out on the serious cash making scheme. Unless you go for marginal trading, but due to the volatility of the BTC, this will lead in 90% of the cases people being kicked out due to lack of margin and losing more money than they have invested.

Though there is good news: what many people don't even realize is that there are 1000+crypto-currencies nowadays. Obviously the majority of this is just riding the crypto-bubble, but, as you mentioned in your post: Crypto's will be the currency of the future.
I am quite the successful FOREX trader and started looking into crypto-currencies over a year ago. I have educated myself by reading thousands of articles and comparing the bullshit from the potential good ones. There will always be some risk involved, but he... no pain no gain, right?

One should never just take advice from an unknown guy on the internet and blindly invest in anything. I am also human and I do have it wrong once in a while. Though as a recommendation I tell this:

1. Understand you won't be millionaire overnight.
2. Understand that you can lose money, so never invest your life savings.
3. Only invest with money you don't need for the next 5 years or invest money you can afford to lose.

Follow these simple rules and take note of this:

BTC is at $3180 per coin, so buying 1 coin is already a challenge to many people. For people who have 1 coin, the time for that coin to hit $10.000 is a matter of time. Yet with 1 coin you would (if bought today at $3000) only make a profit of $7000. Obviously good money if that would happen overnight, but if you are aiming for that, you actually shouldn't be reading this. What if it hits $10.000 in 5 years? $7000 would still be good money, but it will not ease your financial life long term.

What can one do?
At this website: coinmarketcap.com there's a list with over 1000 crypto's and their ranking. They are ranked in volume traded. Obviously BTC is number one. Yet there are some really interesting other crypto's out there, which have the potential of going places. Maybe not in the same dollar value as BTC, but there some out there reaching as high as $500.

I will not tell you which ones to buy, but in stead I will tell which ones I have invested in. I have done my research on all 1000+ crypto's and I came to my own conclusion of which ones I THINK will benefit me financially. Also take note that losing $1000 is absolutely no problem to me and even $100.000 would give me anything other than a very annoyed feeling. Invest with your mind, but leave emotion and your heart out of it!

Here we go:

1. Ripple (XRP) - Bought at $0.00034 - Today: $0.178301
2. Stellar Lumens (XLM) - bought at $0.00002 - Today: $0.023090
3. Dogecoin (DOGE or XDG) - bought at $0.00003 - Today: $0.001927
4. Safe Exchange (SAFEX or SEC) - bought at $0.000185 - Today: $0.014772

Imagine you have invested $100 in each? Do the maths! Buy, hold, almost forget and sell few years from now is my strategy.

If only life were that simple. Haven't you heard of toxic men meeting non toxic women and vice versa?

bepositive11:
Toxic people attract other toxic people. Toxic men attract toxic women and vice versa. Non toxic men attract non toxic women and vice versa. Focus on being a non toxic man so that you can attract non toxic women.

Hmmm. So you respect women because they are women, but women respect you because you respect yourself. Interesting.

chatinent:
Yes, because I respect myself.

The bolded,
Thank God for the internet. I would just tell my son to ask me again later, so that I'll have time to consult Google.

pansophist:
Asking questions. My parent wanted me to study law because of this, but I declined. Even in school, I am that guy that pisses teachers off with my questions. As in eh, I ask too many questions my parents couldn't answer. I remember asking my dad why the sky is blue? he looked up, looked at me, and said, I don't know. That day I learned that parents don't even have all the answers lol.

Stupidity of the highest order.

It is unfortunate. However, parents that refuse to discipline their kids or allow their kids to be disciplined, usually, are the first casualties of their undisciplined children.

atheistandproud:
This generation of kids ehn, no be here at all.

Zero discipline in schools with parents being the chief aiders and the school authorities the primary abetters.

Later they'll come to cry on NL that they can not give their kids simple instructions to follow.

Inside class, something as simple as "keep quiet". Na war. If you switch their seats, problem. If you shout, problem. Flogging is out of the question.

If you call the pikin go staffroom, one on one, try reason with am. Many things go come out. Na then you go hear reports of favoritism and even worse, grooming/petting.

As if that's not bad enough, the human being you're trying to reason with, if he/she has chosen to be unreasonable... forget it. No amount of preaching go change e mind.

Teachers are fucking handicapped and yet parents and schools expect you to perform miracles on slave wages.

Dada4me:
I'm surprised people are not talking about the girl with others mocking the teacher.

I just pray teaching is made a profession in this country...

To many idiots on NL. No child can grow up without discipline. We are just raising a generation of spoilt and entitled children with the way people refuse to discipline their kids, and in Nigeria that is almost a failed state that is just disaster.

A foolish father. Now being paraded like a common criminal.

We are gradually raising a generation of spoilt and entitled kids.
Our education system can never be better if there is no discipline in schools.

atheistandproud:
Mtcheeew.

What secondary school teachers go through.

This one sef flog. In the last high brow SS school (2018) I taught. Na just shout na I shout for that pikin. The next day, e mama wan come seize my cloth, say I cause e pikin "distress" and "emotional trauma".

Me teach again? Secondary School? Because of why?

Mtcheeew again.

TinubuGoQuench:
I sometimes did

I don't think he minded.

Adaanna:
angelfallz: The mouka comfy I bought that turned into bread in less than 6 months?
Please don't tell me I bought fake, because I bought it from a mouka distributor.


Well I don't know the type of mouka foam you bought but the one my parents bought since 2003 till date is still very solid and durable.
Tested and trusted.

Lol how many times did you see your crush on the road?

TinubuGoQuench:
To carry household waste go dispose for incinerator. I dey always shame if I see my crush for road

I hate going to the market and I hate cooking.

Choi the op asked for rules, I gave chores in my answer.

The mouka comfy I bought that turned into bread in less than 6 months?
Please don't tell me I bought fake, because I bought it from a mouka distributor.

Adaanna:
Mouka anytime any day, very durable.

I don't know what to say.

Emperormartin:
I was watching a football game in a viewing center and decided to come back home after first half to take a cup of water and lo! I was presented with the news that my sick uncle has passed away right there in our house.

I was summoned to go call the ambulance and on my return a chunk group of wailers have gathered at our house.

When the ambulance left with the body to the mortuary I immediately went back to the match I was watching to complete my second half amidst the wailing and crying. I didn’t drop a tear. Even some niggas were asking me in the viewing center why some people gathering and crying in our compound I just replied curtly “my uncle died but I need to focus on this match”

Till today that act I pulled still surprises me and the said man was a good uncle to me.

Anyway, I mourned him on his burial day.

So what’s the weirdest act you’ve pulled that surprised you?

That is not what we need. We need to restructure Nigeria and practice true federalism!!
These politicians know how to deflect from the true solutions to national issues.

Oh! sorry for mistaking you as a woman.

joyandfaith:
I am a man for your information. I have a girl child. I am observing our society keenly. I know what i am saying. I understand your thinking. Our society determines our we think and act. Social reconstruction is required to break free.

Shalom.

Please, which Nigerian laws allows for forced marriage, not to even talk of marriage at 10?

As far as I know no Nigerian law allows for forced marriage. If you know any community where girls are being forced into marriage then report to the appropriate authorities.
Next FGM(female genital mutilation) that is more of a custom issue with a lot of ignorance, rather than an outright maltreatment of women and girls. Again I don't know of any Nigerian law backing FGM.

Lol. So in developing countries women and children are not protected by our institutions?(I really don't want to go into the bias and gynocentric nature of the institutions in the so called developed countries that are supposedly "protecting" women) The fact is, in Nigeria, nobody is generally protected by any institution. It is not a women's issue only, it also involves the men.
In fact, men and boys have a higher chance of incarceration without evidence or due process in Nigeria( you still remember #ENDSARS) where is the protection?

Please, stop your victimhood mentality it will not take you anywhere.

In this same society that you claim maltreat women and girls, women and girls are making it.
Where there is maltreatment of women and girls it is not a state or society sponsored maltreatment, rather it is an individual maltreatment. It could be that the father does not like girls and women, it could be the husband hates women and girls.

joyandfaith:
Forced marriage at 10.
Female genital mutilation

One way, women and children are generally protected by their institutions.
No forced marriage, no female genital mutilation, equal opportunities in employment

I agree with the bolded.

Mmadu2:
Sometimes you just should avoid claiming what you simply are not.

The liar virgin has suddenly owned up. The lady for open your yansh.

Imagine playing on innocent girls emotions just to sleep with them. With his level of popularity he doesn't even need to play the 'love' card with any girl before he gets what he wants.

You hurt and wreck them and then abandon them to commit suicide or what.

Please name or list the maltreatments that our society dish out to women and girls.
Also tell me how developed nations have empowered women.

joyandfaith:
It is not blackmail. One of the major different between developing and developed nations is empowerment of women. Our society is maltreating girls and women. It has to stop

mtchew

It's just plain wrong. However, children being children may not see it like that.

The bolded,
How would you do all that walking around and still have energy to cook when you get home? Me I'm in and out, and I don't cook on the day I go to the market.

bukatyne:
A lot of things bargained like coins are perishable goods.

I remember when I saw a fish selling crying after sales that she sold at a loss.

My mum used to price like that and I inherited my negotiating skills.

I however try to be very fair and leave little change (N100, N200) for people (especially women ) I buy perishables and other little stuffs from. My 'comma' is that I will walk round the market to find the freshest version of whatever I am buying. So I buy ugwu at Kano, Pepper at Kaduna, crayfish at Oyo, Rice at Lokoja, periwinkle at Lagos etc.

If you follow me to market, you go waka tire. It is also an opportunity for me to see the new fragrance of Morning Fresh, the newest packaging for Blue Band, the revamped version of Dangote Salt etc.

Besides, people willingly buy same goods at a higher price from supermarkets.

Despite everything MTN is still the best network(among other networks)in Nigeria.

Sex sells

Evil people everywhere

Why is it that this rich people don't see Manchester United?

In my own side Women have been breastfeeding their babies wherever, whenever the baby is hungry. It's not a big deal.

Marathon sex can kill. Sex burns a lot of energy and it is very exhausting. This is one of the reasons why I always laugh when I hear some guys claim that they can have sex for hours.
