GovernmentAgent: This story is an analogy of the scam called cryptocurrency
Monkey story Once upon a time, a rich man from the city arrived in a village. He announced to the villagers that he would buy Monkeys for $100 each.
The villagers were very happy, after all there were hundreds of Monkeys in a nearby forest.
They caught the Monkeys and got them to the rich man. He bought hundreds of Monkeys and paid $100 for every Monkey the villagers gave him.
They began to make a living out of getting Monkeys from the forest and selling it to the rich man.
Soon, the forest began to run out of monkeys that were easy to catch.
Sensing this, the rich man offers $200 for every monkey. The villagers were ecstatic.
They went back to the forest, set up traps and caught the monkeys and got them to the rich man.
A few days later, the rich man announced he would pay $300 per monkey.
The villagers began climbing trees and risking their lives to catch monkeys and get them to the rich man – who bought them all.
There were no Monkeys left in the forest!
One day, the rich man announced he would like to buy more monkeys – this time for $800 each.
The villagers couldn’t believe this. They were desperately trying to get more monkeys..
Meanwhile, the rich man said he had to go back to the city on some business work and until he returns his manager would deal on his behalf.
Once he left, the villagers were unhappy. They were making quick and easy money from selling monkeys, but the forest no longer had monkeys.
This is when the manager of the rich man stepped in.
He made an offer the villagers could not refuse.
Pointing out to all the monkeys that the rich man had caged. He told the villagers he would sell the monkeys for $400 each.
“Sell them back to the rich man at $800 each when he comes back” the manager said.
The villagers were over the moon. Buy for 400 and sell for 800 in few days. They had just found the easiest way to double their money.
The villagers collected all their savings and even borrowed money.
There were long queues and within a few hours, almost all the monkeys were sold out.
Unfortunately, their happiness did not last long, as the manager went missing the next day and the rich man never came back.
Many villagers kept the monkeys with them, hoping the rich man would come back. But soon, they lost hope and had to let the monkeys back into the forest as feeding and taking care of the noisy monkeys became extremely difficult.
I'm a crypto lover and supporter but this story makes a whole lot of sense.
Well, The truth is, Newer projects are building utilities that'll likely be here to stay because of it's transparency, speed and trustworthiness.
They'll take over so many way of finance that we have been used to and that way, crypto will never turn out to be a scam as many people have been predicting.
Who would have believed that the regular akara woman will one day accept transfer from an mfb Kuda, Opay and ETC.
Well, but then the story could apply to the get rich quick geng, Those who follow influencers and calls, buying shitcoins and memecoins (not knowing when to sell or tp).
Doyinwemimo: Am 25yrs old, I come from a broken family my mother loves me alot which she take care of me during my university days am a good guy before I was introduced to betting I started betting in 2020 during the lockdown and I started with a sum of 100 naira to 200 but later on I became addicted, I lose every penny on me to betting I feel like dieing I will come to nairaland to look for advice which I will hold and I will determine am not going to play again but yet will will still play this hurt me alot because the urge is much powerful,
I always saw how everyone that brought up this issue on betting addiction being bant and abuse but I just have to take the bold step to speak out, i never do my clearance due to this betting I don’t have anyone to speak to because am scared, I see a job recently that I could do for 5month to raise money for my clearance and go for nysc thou have determined that I will be locking up the money I get from the work to avoid temptation but am scared
And the question going on on my mind is that am I free from this curse or because I don’t have money
Even if there is anyone that I can be reporting on how this urge is anytime I feel it so they could guide me I want to be free I don’t want to live my life like this
Please advice me sir/ma
I don't bet, nor gamble but once saw an advice in a thread here which stated you should have the mentality that "BETTING WILL NEVER MAKE YOU RICH"
The people that get lucky enough to be rich by betting are like 0.01% of gamblers.

Blissbath: Acquiring an experience in teaching hospital as a student nurse,I have concluded that nothing can make me work here as nurse.
There is no equipment,no staff and you improvise for everything.
There is this incident that happened two weeks ago, this teaching hospital had a mass casualty and they were brought to Accident and Emergency ward.
Could you believe that it was only one causlty Doctor and 4 nurses that was on shift and 13 people were injured.
The doctor was tired to set line for IV , only one Bp apparatus,no pulse oximeter.The only thing we were able to do was to give normal saline n IM paracetamol finish.They were left on d floor to help themselves.
Imagine using one BP apparatus to check blood pressure for 13 persons with wound on their arms,I am so sorry for them because some will contact diseases through that means especially HIV or Hepatitis.
Or is it last month that doctors went on strike, some people brought on eemergency died in the hospital because of no doctor.
I do pray everyday that nothing happens to me or my family that will make us go to teaching or state hospital. Because you might not come out alive ,God forbid.
Someone will be brought to the hospital for emergency, doctors and nurses doesn't care.
Or is it the one that happened 5months ago,a patient had a successful surgery,he was brought to New surgical ward for postoperative care,on checking his SPO2,it was below 95 % and there was no oxygen to give to him.
He died right before our own very eyes .
Or is it the one that during CS,there will be power failure, surgeons will have to use torch light.
Omo, experience too plenty.If you have the means to Japa,biko do it. Everything is not about money,at the end of the day quality of life is more important than quantity of life lived.
May God Sha protect and help us.
The say experience is the best teacher
This shattered my heart a lot, Thanks for the insight.
cue64: The eclectically bike revolution in china is something else, just after the covid Guangzhou relaxed some rules regarding motorbikes, so people could be able move more solo, after that, the market for electric bikes sprang up immediately with different brands and types coming outs almost everyday.. I can’t say it’s a bad thing though, cos even me I prefer to ride my bike than go cramp in the metro, or pay so much for Taxis…below are some pictures of the new models of bikes that came out recently
sweetveek: the x he's referring to is twitter not that coin
SINisSIN: He is referring to Twitter. I'm sure himself do not know any coin called X.
Yes, That's right but That's how it works in the degen market. Even when Queen elizabeth died. A coin was created " Queen Elizabeth Inu" and Men cashed out 50X - 100X.
It's just a crazy world right there in Degen trading, They take advantage of every news out there.
Japaperson: Greetings house, how do I stop my Redmi note 9s volume going up automatically. It's disturbing me from studying for my exam. It stops n continues after some time even when I increase d volume up a bit it starts again

I think ur phone has software issues, Download button mapper on playstore and alter some settings. Maybe tap twice for volume button up to work.
You can also try ridiculous one like hiting the button hard on a table, very Funny but it worked for me then I went ahead to unistall the button mapper.
Hi guys, My Gcam camera comes out perfect, Like the picctures are so wonderful but the only problem I have is that when you are on the camera mode (That is the camera mode display before you take the pictures), It is blur!!! . (portrait and other modes are better)
Although when the picture is taken, It is very bright and clear.
Is it normal for everyone or am I the only one who is noticing it?
I just called the woman now, She said my passport is out, That February is ready and I should come for it. I will be in lagos next week by God's grace. Thanks ALL !!!
I don't understand all these news.i captured February 9 and was there last week but was told is not ready. Is it selective production or somebody is hiding file ni

Congratulations on finally achieving your dream, I was with u from the beginning of ur diary down to this moment. You are really a determined and hardworking fellow. Keep it up Boss @evb2000
