Can't u withdraw now . Me just withdraw 150k from luno now now oo.

I hope you don't regret this, this panic sale you just did.

thebosstrevor1:
The sending all over to friends and relatives reduces the worth of the intial money because of various transfer fees

Not much. If there's a reduction, it won't be much. You can send the crypto to your brother, they charge you some transaction fee, your brother takes out the crypto and turns it into cash, and transfers the cash to you. It's a long process, but it's worth.

People like me, who have long term investment plan for crypto need not to panic as I don't need my cash now. I'm HODLing till it gets to the moon!

Rikidony:
Omo i get enough rubbers for Litecoin, make i withdraw, because i de fear

Baba no fear; no panic. If you withdraw now, dem con reverse the policy nko? Just wait, ground go clear

Jerryherd:
Dude they ain't risking Nada, most Crypto company I know use online POS from stripes, or paystack this are buffer to their trading account

Last last NFIU or CBN don't have any means to separate cocoyam buyers from crypto currency buyers all transactions to all customers are treated the same way, CBN can't and won't question any transaction declared as cocoyam sales proceeds

Lol, you're bent on this cocoyam business. Tell me, is the business very feasible? I might be interested in it. Let's just agree to disagree concerning the CBN matter.

Geopex:
Me just withdraw money from luno now and they have alert me within 2 minutes. So don't panic

Lol, panic ke? You quoted the wrong person. I was the one who was advising the other guy not to panic. You're the one who panicked, now you've taken your money out.

thebosstrevor1:
Yes, but then again fraud.

This type of deal, i can never do that with a Nigerian.

I've not tried it before. I withdraw my money directly from the app to bank. I'm sure there are mechanisms these apps have set in place to protect against fraud. you can also send the crypto to your relatives, or friends abroad and they send the money back to you in Nigeria.

Jerryherd:
Crypto trading company can open cocoyam trading Company to font for a bank and still send funds to their customers

Do you know how many billions are in those companies Nigerian account? They will not risk those billions and do something illegal as posing as another company. The only way out of this is P2P.

thebosstrevor1:
Are you talking about p2p cash transfer or p2p crypto.

If you are talking about p2p crypto transfer, so how will the bank pay you in cash when you need to convert your coin to cash

I'm talking about p2p cash transfer. I sell my crypto to you on the app, Luno, Binance, and you send cash to my bank account. Transaction complete. The government or banks will have no idea. Binance or Luno just acts as the middle man and links buyers to sellers.

Jerryherd:
Now that's the big catch in all this, same me that registered a Certificate of Incorporation at CAC that I trade Bitcoin, can also go back to CAC and register that I trade cocoyam, CAC won't cost pass 20k and I can enter another bank with my cocoyam trading company CAC cert to open another account within 24hrs

You're are not the cryptocurrency company. When you withdraw your crypto, the companies pay you through their Nigerian bank accounts. Now, if the government bans their accounts, there is no way for them to pay you. If you like open another account that you sell akara or fried yam.

thebosstrevor1:
P2p are also done on exchanges.

If exchanges are stopped, how do you receive your money in your Nigerian bank account

On peer to peer, individuals send the money directly to each other so the banks will have no idea if it's from cryptocurrency or not.

Jerryherd:
And how will CBN and Government know Cryto traders bank account from a cocoyam sellers account

.

Very weird question. Didn't you submit your details to the bank when you were opening your account? They also used their company names to open these accounts, and submitted huge amount of details about their business. CBN have already directed Banks to do the fishing.

Rikidony:
guys pls hold on, what does this mean, is it that all my money i invest in Luno, Roqqu, Binance and Abitrader is gone and i cant withdraw back my money, because I'm not understanding..

Do not panic. Your money is very safe, but the worse they can do is prevent you from withdrawing it. If even if they do that, your money is not gone as there will be other ways.

kastgeraldino:
He didn't leave any good memory. Did fans even know when he left? We know cos we are Nigerians. The time he could have left with a good memory and create some aura was that time he was doing well and his contract at Man U initially expired. He shouldn't have extended it; he could have left like Henrik Larsson. The same thing would happen to that foolish Zidane who came back to Madrid after achieving immortality. With the way madrid is performing, there is no doubt he would be sacked, thereby staining his legacy. They are all rich men so they'll be fine

True, he shouldn't have extended his stay. He felt he was doing good and there was no reason not to extend. Money wasn't his problem and really wanted to play for united. I'm sure he got a huge deal from this new club.

Springboot:
If only he had played better at Manchester united, his performance was below par

He played well the few times he started.

kastgeraldino:
That's what happens when people are foolish and operate based on their emotions. If he had any foresight, he could have realized that nothing tangible would have come out of his Man U spell. He could have just left when the ovation was high (and the media was hailing him) and left a good memory. But he thought he really had a chance at making history and becoming a start at Man U. Anyways, it's his life.

He left a good memory and achieved his childhood dream.

Sometimes magic happens.

Good luck!

I'm picturing a scenario where 10 guys matches your criteria and messages you. You chat and speak with them and they're perfect match, do you plan to meet 10 of them? If you ask me, that's a big headache. Moreover, finding love online is rare these days.

eedimo:
Then I didn't had the courage to approach her, so I did a letter. The next day in school I ask her if she got my letter? She replied in the affirmative and gave me back the letter... I felt so bad.
I ask why she returned the letter? She said she thought that was the appropriate thing to do. I ask her to give me a reply; she never did.

10 years after she gave me a reply; It was too late as I read the letter with my wife.

She waited 10 whole years to give you a reply? Wtf.
"10 years after she gave me a reply; It was too late as I read the letter with my wife." A relaxing end!

Chii59:
Nlders and exaggeration. Las Las, e no pass bress and nyash

Lol, I'm telling you. She didn't even give him attention. Man was totally ignored.

jonaifame22:
She is a very beautiful girl, chocolate colored like eclairs sweet, she's quite petit, wth her voice thin has as a thread, when she moves her waist sways from side to side like the pendulum of a grand father clock, her breasts and Yansh are quite firm and big, I'd love to say it was a souvenir left for her when puberty came knocking at her door, every time I see her it is always a mixture of love and lust, as I always tAke my time to survey her body like a vulture would a piece of carcass.
I carefully mapped out my plan, well I had good knowledge of geography so that was not a challenge, I rehearsed my lines repeatedly like a student rehearsing for a heated debate competition , I prayed to God repeatedly even more than devout Muslim would pray 5times daily that I find favor with this girl

Lo and behold the day came and I lay in wait like lastma officials waiting for an offending motorist cos I new her closing time from where she was doing apprenticeship,having studied her movement like a spy of a dreaded cult group
Behold she closed for the day and I walked up to her like a sinner walking to a pastor to give his life to Christ during an altar call.
Then I greeted her,the way she looked at me, I felt my guardian angel leaving cos I felt empty like a barrel wth no content, I was lost for words or so I thought cos all my rehearsed lines were no where to be found like a lost dog that had strayed away from home, I stammered repeatedly like a music audio cd plate that has had lots of scratches on its surface, I sweat like a Nigerian university graduate parading the streets of Lagos on foot searching for jobs, then I managed to mutter a word and she said "ehn ehn" what do you want " then I told her to calm down in the most calm voice that I have not come for trouble, she jus hissed and walked away, hmmmmmmm when I got home I took a cold bath and starved my feelings for her like a wicked stepmother would do to a step child. And dat was it

I get you're trying to craft a beautiful write-up, but too much simile made this stuff tiring to read; too much comparison. Like this, like that... I hope this isn't the way you over-use simile to explain simple things.

Raycrane01:
“Science and religion are two sides of the same deep human impulse to understand the world. They don't override one another.” OG thank you for this..

Oh, thank you, too, follow astronaut!

Pelecius:
That's true anyway

Funny you

I also think it might not be a Dinosaurs since the article too couldn't factually claim so. But they'll have to call it a dinosaur because of the age assigned to the rock. Worldview would come into play, as they can't have a chicken or its kind in that year. So it must be interpreted according to their worldview, else, the work may not get published. Lol

Definitely. You're correct. It was nice having this mind-opening conversation with you.

Pelecius:
Thank you for your kind words

Why I propose the flood are:
1. rising water would cover hot magma so that animals can run on it
2. Ordinarily, no living organism would move towards a magma even if it is cooling already, but the can move towards it if it has been covered with water.
3. There are other tracks of Dino that have been found which lead to were they eventually died. This suggest that they were fleeing from something (adding credence to catastrophic events surrounding the early period of the flood) the tracks must have been covered quickly to be preserved.

These are few of the reasons I used the flood event to try explain the formation.

I'm not disputing your last statement anyway, I just feel that the heat from the magma won't get any animal to come close naturally, not to talk of leaving that type of print on it (for such small animal)
But who knows? It's just guesses. Lol. No one was there to witness it

You're welcome, follow astronaut. Lol, that's it. No one knows. It could have been chased by a larger predator, or running away from the eruption and just jumped on the hot magma and jumped out immediately. Moreover, that print looks like that of a chicken. We all know how chickens react quickly to things, especially hot magma. Don't mind me.

Pelecius:
"when you have a personal encounter you can't explain"
This just explains it well.
Searching for answers got me that. Now, a personal ecounter is stronger than anything anyone will say.
Take a man who claims to see a tiger in the bush in Nigeria, I'll be the first to tell him that he's lying. Because I have a (limited) knowledge that there are no tigers in Africa, not to talk of Nigeria. But if one of the tigers is being introduced by conservationists and he truly saw one, he'll hold on to what he saw while skeptics like me may even call him names.

So personal ecounter is what many needs. (Of Saul can change camp, who wouldn't?)

Yes, indeed, personal encounter. And some didn't even need to have that. Unfortunately, some might never have this personal experience, life is too short, sadly.

Pelecius:
Short answer: The great flood.
From the text, it is clear that it is a huge catastrophic event with huge tsunamis and volcanic eruption (breaking forth of the fountains of the deep), which will results to evaporation and then, rain (40 days rain).
The first part will definitely see volcanic eruption but the hot magma will be cooled rapidly with the huge wave of tsunami in different parts of the ocean, which would send water out. There are rocks which have unusual bent formations at their top which suggest that they were cooled rapidly and further hardened.
Panicking animals would run for their lives and with the water rising, they won't know when they would run across a cooling magma since adrenaline would kick in.
My explanation is definitely not exhaustive, (my auto correct is frustrating me). I would stop here for now.
I would love to see if you have an alternative explanation

Your explanation is quite interesting and it is another perspective. Your first paragraph could have definitely happened, but I think it should be a separate event from this particular one. From your last paragraph, you arrived at my initial answer about cooling magma, which makes our explanation similar.

Now, about that cooling magma, no one knows for sure how it was cooled. It could have cooled gradually, on it's own or cooled by wind, rain, or the ocean, no one knows. The great flood definitely happened, but I don't think it should be tied to this event, as till today, volcanos still erupts and magma cools, and attempts to leave footprints will be successful.

Farki:
I can't see radio waves or viruses but we can demonstrate that they exist.

However I am yet to see someone turn a rod into a snake for the world to see. I am also yet to see a fat old man drop into my house and give me presents on 25th December.

You're looking for facts, I see. And the reason you believe radio waves is because you can prove they exist with scientific instruments and calculations. I'm sorry, the other side doesn't work that way. I don't know how to explain this because the laws are just different. You'll probably think about it when you have a personal encounter you can't explain. But before then, I want you to stop dwelling on these, "I'm yet to see." Or, "I'm yet to experience." And ask yourself questions and be open-minded. The more you know, the more you know you don't know. Cheers!

Pelecius:
You have a strong point here but I don't know which camp you belong to. Theism? Which I can explain the mechanism that can lead to what you propose. Atheism? Where you would just dismiss my explanation due to conflict of worldview, but would definitely find hard time explaining a mechanism for such hypothesis

MODIFIED
Haven gone through some of your posts, I see that you are not an atheist. Just that your worldview would still not be compatible with the mechanism I had in mind to explain the possible way the track could be made.
Looks like I'm not disappointed to see an intelligent mind who does not belong to the second camp.

I'm very interested to know your view of how that track could have been made. My worldview doesn't really matter as I like to see things from different angles.

Farki:
The Bible or really any religion is the biggest scam ever pulled that managed to deceive billions of people into thinking these irrational events and outright lies are actual things that happened.

If people can believe ridiculous coronavirus conspiracies made up on the spot in an age of information right at out fingertips it's easy to understand how people who didn't go past their local government for most of their lives could believe such tall tales, especially when threatened with death by the religious authorities.

That is to say you don't believe in the existence of things that you can't see. Open your mind. There are some questions you'll ask your self and you'll not doubt science, but you'll begin believe that there's more. I'm not about to change your perception of reality, but I'm trying to say you should look at things from both perspective; the physical and supernatural. If you only believe in one of both, and not both, you're limiting your horizon. The physical and supernatural are two sides of the same existence that continue to shake hands; they're not mutually exclusive.

Grandmeister:
Indeed you’re open minded and open to learning. Unlike those who aren’t even science inclined in profession alluding pseudo enlightenment and knowledge to themselves. It takes a lot close mindedness to believe the perfect order and alignment of the universe from the great stars to the smallest ants in the soil came about from an unthinking, random, and totally lifeless explosion that could happen only once in a billion billion billion billion chance just ‘somehow’ jumpstarted a perfect, self sustaining universe and a living earth. How can non life birth life? How can something that can’t think give rise to beings and creatures that can think, that has emotions?

It's always fascinating to think about all these. The only way to understand bits of it is to have an open-mind. Life, reality, death, time, creation, and the universe are things we can never fully comprehend. We have a very limited knowledge; science can't explain everything. I mean, it's beyond our imagination and when I think about it, I get migraines. Indeed, all these things was as a result of something powerful. Science and religion are two sides of the same deep human impulse to understand the world. They don't override one another.

I'm glad there are like-minded people like you and others who can look at things from both the scientific and the supernatural perspective.

Chii59:
I know for a fact that nothing can't bring forth everything, no matter how long it takes. The probability that this world came into being full of everything needed to sustain even a single-celled life form is too little to hold sway. There is an intelligent designer responsible for designing a universe so complex as ours. And He keeps revealing himself in diverse forms, especially in the beauty and order of the worlds He's made.
This I know for a fact.

True. This is exactly what I believe. It was nice having this conversation with you. Cheers!

simplesearch:
And only one footprint will be visible. And how can anything survive a molten magma? Wouldn't the lava cover up its entire body, turning it into a rock

Yes, it will survive the magma. It's definitely an already cooling magma, and it will take days for the magma to solidify.
