Johnjustice: Nigerians see why police checkpoints are good. If criminals know they are checkpoints they won't kidnap. Nigerians work into the hands of criminals, criminals have agents online, they spread fake news against the police, so the police will be off the streets.
abegy, police checkpoints Koo. No be to dey collect money them dey do?
Glimpsetv: Man Records a Suspected Kidnapping of a Lady in Broad Daylight
A man recorded a suspected kidnapping of a lady in broad daylight on New Year's Day in Lagos and posted it on X, formerly known as Twitter, tagging the police for possible action. The video shows a lady attempting to open the car door from the back seat, but it appears that another person sitting with her at the back is pulling her away from exiting the vehicle.
After a while, the driver exited and moved to the back seat door, activating the child lock to prevent the car from being opened from the inside, then returned to the car and quickly drove off.
However, a police handle on X named DSP Bright Edafe PPRO DE responded, "I sincerely hope you had the emergency numbers for Lagos Command and called them before recording and posting. That would have worked faster. Plus, you should have tried raising an alarm and confronting them."
In response, the man who posted the video commented, "For the record: I raised an alarm, called on area boys, but most hesitated. The driver got back in the car and drove off. I followed the car around V.I, hoping to see a policeman to report to, but none was on the route they followed. They later started driving back."
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the man should have exited his car instead of just recording and confronting the suspects? But what if they had a gun?
bhella10: Your Agulu Plesident is a prisoner as are his Obidients hoards. We dey outside. Security have indeed improved especially in the SE. So yes my President gets my support. Support your Obi the vanquished.
bhella10: A smart politician would offer a message of hope, love and care. But did this juan offered lamentations, doom and wailing. I'm sure he's only succeeded in causing more pains to the prisoners. Obi ONKR
Shut up prisoner, your president just said security has improved in Nigeria since he became president. You better go and support him, as dey don dey fire am
BloomingDale: Nigerian xtians and Jesus are like 5 and 6. Nothing can separate them. lol. 😀😀😀 While Nigerian Muslims and their fake Allah god are like bread and butter.
Isiah 14: 12-14 12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O 4Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the omount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
I work as a salaried individual and earn around 400k monthly.
However, my girlfriend constantly asks for money. I give her almost 100k every month and she feels it's not enough for her. She's even voiced discontent, suggesting I only send her money when she explicitly requests it.
I'm beginning to suspect her motives, as she seems solely focused on my income.
She never suggests saving or helps in cutting costs; her primary interest lies in spending everything. Despite my genuine love for her, I can't keep up with her demands. I had hopes for our future together, but it seems unlikely now.
I'm considering a breakup as a solution.
Has anyone navigated a similar situation?
I for insult you first. She is not your responsibility, your mother, sister, (daughter, wife) is. I'm sure you don't do this to your mother or sis.
Superpack589: It’s that time again — when your friends and family members who know you’re into Bitcoin text asking if now is the time to buy.
A time that signifies we’re at another peak in bitcoin’s price.
I know, I know. How bah-humbug of me.
But the truth is, if you’re thinking about buying bitcoin right now, it might not be the best time to make a sizable purchase — despite the fact that we might see spot bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) approved in the near future (possibly as early as January).
Why?
Let’s start by looking at bitcoin’s price action during periods leading up to the last two Bitcoin halvings. (The next is due in late-April, when block 840,000 is expected to be mined.)
Bitcoin halving cycles last about four years (210,000 blocks produced at approximately 10 minutes per block). At the commencement of each cycle, the block subsidy reward that Bitcoin miners receive is cut in half, which triggers a bitcoin supply shock.
Historically, bitcoin’s price has risen dramatically during the year and a half that follows the halving. The price then tanks and trades in a range for the cycle’s other two and a half years.
From late-2013 until mid-2016, when the second halving occurred, bitcoin’s price fell from $1,166 to $156. It then rebounded to $780 — 67% of the previous all-time high — before falling 40% to $472 in August 2016.
The $472 price point marked a local bottom just one month after the second halving took place.
From late 2017 to late 2018, bitcoin’s price fell from $19,666 to $3,150 before rebounding to $13,882 — 70% of the previous all-time high. By March 2020, its price had fallen 72% to $3,867.
$3,867 marked a local bottom two months before the third Bitcoin halving, which occurred in May 2020.
Another two-and-a-half-year period that precedes a Bitcoin halving is coming to an end. This period began in late 2021 and will end in April 2024, when the fourth halving is scheduled to occur.
During this period thus far, bitcoin’s price has fallen from $69,000 to $15,522 before rebounding to $44,759 — 65% of the previous all-time high.
This 65% rebound — the current one — is awfully close to the 67% and 70% rebounds we saw in the two previous cycles.
And so the big question now is: Will bitcoin’s price retrace significantly leading up to the next halving as it has leading up to the two previous halvings?
If bitcoin’s price were to fall 40% from these current levels — as it did in 2015-2016 — we’d see bitcoin’s price at $26,855. (As of writing, it is approaching $44,000).
If it were to fall 72% — as in 2019-2020 — we’d see bitcoin’s price at $12,532.
I’ve seen very few people mention such numbers in the wake of the euphoria bitcoin investors are currently experiencing.
So, will this time be different?
Aren’t we waiting for billions of dollars to flow into bitcoin almost immediately after the spot bitcoin ETF is approved?
Maybe.
No one knows whether an approval of a spot bitcoin ETF is priced into the bitcoin market yet.
Some believe it is and that the announcement of a spot bitcoin ETF will be a “buy the rumor, sell the news” event — a situation in which bitcoin’s price rises in anticipation of a spot bitcoin ETF announcement, as it has been, but then sells off once the ETF is announced.
Others say it’s a “buy the rumor, buy the news” event — a situation in which bitcoin’s price rises in anticipation of a spot bitcoin ETF and rises again once the ETF is announced.
The truth is that no one knows what will happen in the wake of a spot bitcoin ETF being approved and coming to market.
And with Bloomberg analysts predicting a 90% chance of approval by January 10, 2024, hardly anyone seems to be asking the following question: What happens to bitcoin’s price if the spot bitcoin ETF isn’t approved? (Though CoinDesk did.)
This scenario could easily be grounds for a significant drawdown in bitcoin’s price. The drawdown might not be as severe as the previous two, but it would likely be notable.
Also, what happens to bitcoin’s price in the event of a hard landing?
While the powers that be and major institutions will have you believe that we’re on our way to a soft landing or, at worst, a mild recession, those of us who remember hearing the exact same rhetoric in 2008 aren’t so convinced.
A number of reputable outlets have stated that we may be amid a “melt-up” — a situation in which asset prices rise parabolically before crashing catastrophically.
This isn’t hard to believe given that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is at an all-time high, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are almost there, as well — all while we’re still in an environment in which investors can earn over 5% risk-free in money market mutual funds.
If a melt-up is currently taking place and bitcoin’s price is going along for the ride, then there are two more questions we have to ask: How high does bitcoin’s price rise before it comes crashing down, and what sort of investing strategy is best to employ if this is the case?
While the first question is difficult to answer, the second isn’t as challenging.
By all means, continue to HODL your BTC and DCA (dollar-cost average) into the asset, as these investment strategies have proven fruitful for anyone who has held BTC for more than four years.
The one thing you might want to avoid amid this euphoria is aping into a large position at these levels — especially with any sort of leverage. (To quote the Founder & CEO of Custodia Bank, Caitlin Long, “A fool and their leveraged bitcoin are soon parted.”)
If we see a massive drawdown in bitcoin’s price, you’ll want to have some cash on the sidelines to buy, not find yourself bitcoin-less and cash-strapped due to acting like an overzealous gambler.
As always, we don’t know where bitcoin’s price will go from here. Maybe it actually will move up only both into and beyond the halving.
But if history repeats itself and bitcoin performs the way it has right before prior halvings, we may see bitcoin at a significantly lower price as the halving in April 2024 approaches.

What happens when all Bitcoin/Bitcoin blocks are mined before halving?
Lies. Jesus asked his followers to celebrate important events such as the Last Supper, which is commemorated through the sacrament of Holy Communion, and the resurrection, which is celebrated on Easter. These events hold significant meaning in the Christian faith. Jesus also asked his followers to celebrate the event of his baptism. It marked the beginning of his public ministry and symbolized his identification with humanity.
Naijaagenda: I have fought so many wars in my life and won all with the exception of Onychophagia (Nail Biting)
Now remains one single habit that I have been fighting from my early childhood (ONYCHOPHAGIA) The sweetest in the life of nail bitters is the nails and it's cuticles.
I'm now 44 years old, married with kids, have my own house, self employed and doing well in business ,good, stable and predictable cash flow.. I had fought so many difficult wars and habits in my 44 years on Earth, one of the most difficult is nail biting.
To the glory of Almighty God,I won this war in 2023. When I reflect on what Jehovah has done for me, I can only thank God and AI bards that gave me the tips on quitting Onychophagia.
Since June 2023, I never bit my nails. You too can win one of the most embarrassing, non-harmful but oneb the most difficult habits and wars to win.
I don have the picture before I won the war against onychophagia, but the picture as at today is posted. This is the best Xmas gift I had ever received from myself for myself in life.
Thank you Jesus Christ. I won onychophagia after 44years on earth 🌎🌎🌎🌎. You too can win.
achymmania: Dey play. Me wey stop am this for January 2023 and found my way back to it this December. You need to wait for 2 years before you come here for testimony.
