Something is wrong with her.

Why would a first class student with a lot of prospects resort to begging. She can easily secure a full paid scholarship with her results. Get jobs in some serious companies.

I am afraid that book knowledge is not enough. You need some sense too.

So true.

If I have my transcript at hand with this kind CGPA, by next year I suppose dey Jand (Canada, USA or Australia) on Scholarship both M.Sc and PhD.

They are profitable today but last year they made a loss.

Bear in mind, that is Canada with sufficient resources and expertise to not just generate power but facilitate efficient mining.

It would not be efficient in Nigeria.

Do you know why they were not profitable last year?

It's cause of the fall in btc value and other crypto they mine not because mining is not lucrative.

Bring that to Nigeria...

If the government can secure 1,000 kVA, for a start, from the Dam and buy 500 miners what do you think will happen?

In 6 months you may hear we have money but don't know what to do with it. Give it 2 years max, opposed to 3 years warranty of those machines, now figure what will happen...

This is to let you know that crypto mining is still profitable.

And there are other ways to hedge against future drop in value of the coins which have been mined already, discussion for another day.
Cheers.

You require sophisticated monitoring systems to regulate and control crypto. At the very least you'd need a system that can keep track of all crypto transactions, a supercomputer to decode the encryption protecting the sender and receiver, a registry where all those trading in crypto would need to register, a sound central bank policy and a top notch investigative team not to mention you'd have to cut crypto traders in Nigeria off from the world because crypto is by its very nature it's own centralized system. Moreover as of now crypto is bought in USD not Naira (If im not wrong) which further devaluates the currency.

You're right that the government doesn't do much for its citizens and people aren't patriotic to such a government but if everyone embraced crypto the government would utterly collapse. Imagine things being 10 times worse than they are right now, truly a survival of the fittest scenario. The government can no longer profit off crypto farms because easy mining is over. You now need incredibly powerful graphics processors and a ton of electricity to mine new currency (at least for bitcoin and the popular cryptos) and Nigeria doesn't have the resources to spend on that. The one way I can see it working is if the govt works with crypto traders and users to establish an honest record of their income and taxes them on that. However, for such a system to work most places in Nigeria would have to start accepting crypto payments and people would need to change their mindset of not paying taxes.

Your comment still holds that we can do it if we want to and that's what am saying here Chief.
On the other hand Mining dosent have to be easy to be profitable, main point is being profitable

Plus there are other ways to earn from the crypto space and if the government go into it they will benefit massively cause they have the funds.

We are on same side, just took long to realise.

Cheers.

Mining farms cost money to run.

Canada tried it and realised it wasn't beneficial.

Nah...

Check picture below.

I posted the link yesterday and got banned for that, so google it to confirm.

There is no place on this green earth where mining is not profitable if embarked on with cash. Minimum 8 months you break even.

Absolute tosh.

A network of criminals based in Russia or Iran would make minced meat of this theory.

Talk to simpletons.

If you could rule out his comment as trash then you deserve no further attention.

You ignorantly claimed crypto couldn't be traced, he proferred how to do that.

If the government were kneen on tracing crypto transactions and are well equipped wouldn't they do that successfully?

But here you are countering what he said so you would appear right?

Are Russians Nigerians? No.

And do you think fraud can be completely eradicated from a society? No. But can be minimised.

Thanks for the response and I appreciate your viewpoint.

The problem with many Nigerians is that they never engage in critical thinking. Perhaps it hurts their heads.

Crypto has been discouraged by every nation across the world despite some advancement in some of these societies.

Many countries do not have the means technologically or even by way of policy to tackle its existence, so at best, they tolerate it.

Nigerians on the other hand, have no national database, open borders, no CCTV, no forensic expertise, no technological know how, lots of criminally minded individuals who would cash in on this platform to perpetuate evil beyond imagination.

Sadly, all that most Nigerians hear is the ching ching of money and not the blowout possible.


You miss the point.

That Nigeria does not at the moment have the aforementioned tools for regulating crypto in no way mean they cannot have it when they choose to embrace it.

And Chief you are woefully wrong to say crypto has been discouraged by every nation across the world...

@Fallenhunter

What you said is right about benefits/earnings from crypto going to individual pockets and little or nothing going to the government.

To me, I don't know how many are patriotic enough to think about a government that barely care for them and since it's an honest investment myself and other non-lazy youths have embraced it.

Now, don't you think the government will gain massively from it when they choose to embrace it?

For example, imagine the government create 4 mining farms of
10,000 machines each... Great revenue will be generated from that alone.

That's my 2cents on the matter anyway.

Ireland, China and USA have one of the biggest cryptocurrency mining farms, and yes it's owned by individuals but there is no way the government wouldn't have been aware and approved such.

There may still be a way to tax crypto earners but am void of that at the moment.

I just think it's wrong for the guy to say crypto should be ruled out completely.

All of you are sheep.

You cannot think on your own.

I have asked of what benefit cryptocurrency is to the Nigerian and you are all here throwing insults.

If you know your father did not waste his money on your education, itemize 5 bullet points on the benefit of cryptocurrency to the nation.

Explain what it replaces and why his should be the new way to go.

I know you cannot.

All you heard is bitcoins give money.

You buy, you hold on to it, and then you sell when it appreciates.


Benefits of using Bitcoin

1. Reduced Transaction Fees
2. Easy to Use in Any Situation
3. No Involvement of Any Third Party
4. Quick Payments
5. International Payments Made Easy, faster and cheaper
6. Control over your money: No one can charge you on your money or unnecessary deductions for no reason.
7. Everywhere and anytime it is available for use
8. Opportunities Bitcoin Opens in Several Business Verticals:
a. Bitcoin Mining
b. Bitcoin trading
c. Store of value
d. Local Bitcoin exchange
e. Crypto education (fees)
*** Self employment.

These amidst others.

It doesn't mean there are no cons to it, but if it is embraced and regulated it's no issue, it will take a while but that doesn't rule out the possibility.

Plus you know of crypto security company...
With that transactions can be tracked when need be.

I typed this hurriedly...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

If your boss pays you N30,000 per month,
Assuming you decided to save all without touching a dime, it will take you 36 months to make N1million (Did I hear you say 3years?)Absolutely!

On the other hand, if you can convince an organisation like Dangote Group To print and supply 5000 umbrellas to them (to be used as souvenirs) and you make just N200 profit per umbrella, in just one day you must have made N1million

What about becoming a billionaire? That's where it gets crazy!

OK, now let's increase your pay to N1,000,000 per month and you decide to save all without touching a dime. In a year, you will have saved N12million. It will take about 84 years before you can make N1billion. (Please subtract your current age).

On the other hand, Nigeria has a population of about 200 million people. If you can supply salt to just 12million, once in a month and you make just N200 from each person supplied, in one year, you must have made N2.9billion. This shows that to become rich, you have to stop talking to bosses for a job and start talking to clients/prospects

You have to stop thinking inside the box and even stop thinking outside the box...

Yes... the box is still a limitation...

You have no idea what your mind is capable of, do you?

This is what you have to do...

SET YOUR MIND FREE AND THINK LIKE THERE IS NO BOX

The possibilities are endless.

Alcohol doesn't come at number 100? So says someone who doesn't drink. Since you want to play a stubborn goat, go get a bottle of Jack Daniels or McDowells and drink it. Five minutes later, drive your car. If you go one a mile successful, then I will agree that alcohol is no danger to man.

There is nothing like McDowell's anymore, it's called MrDowell's.

Sharply, I don't drink alcohol anymore because of the health implications. But I don't think it's wrong to drink it, just don't drink in excess.

As for religion, alcohol intake should not defile anyone except the person thinks so.

There are more important commands of christian religion that's why alcohol intake is not explicit.

Zoharariel:
A house built on sand can never stand. Similarly, a foundation built upon lies will always collapse.

Balaam's donkey that talked in the Bible was the one & only donkey that ever talked - till now since the creation of Earth.

The snake that spoke with Eve in the Bible was the one & only snake that ever spoke - till now since the creation of Earth.

The woman with the issue of blood who was healed by touching the hem of Jesus garment was the only woman that ever got healed via touching - till now since the creation of Earth.

Enoch, Elijah & Jesus were the only beings that ascended into Heaven alive - without the use of rocket or hot air balloon - till now since the creation of Earth.

The Pool of Bethesda in the Bible was the only river visited & troubled every year by an Angel of Yahweh to provoke healing - till now since the creation of Earth.

Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego were the only scribes thrown into a furnace of fire and survived - till now since the creation of Earth. Boko Haram are burning Christians to death in Adamawa, Yobe & Borno States every week but Jesus have refused to turn up.

Paul and Silas in the Bible were the only scribes, while in prison, who prayed and sang praises unto Yahweh, and there was an Earthquake that shook the foundation of the prison - setting them free - till now since the creation of Earth. Lear Sharibu has been in the captivity of Boko Haram for how many years now? In spite of the intercessory prayers offered on her behalf by ALL the church denominations in Nigeria every sunday, yet Yahweh & Jesus have refused to send Angel Michael, Gabriel, Raphael & Uriel to go set her free.

Jesus was the only being who turned water to wine, and then fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread & 2 fishes in spite of Jesus saying in John 14: 12 that:

"Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these"

And till now, despite all the faithful believers & church goers, somersaulting inside gutter and using apron to cure H.I.V in Nigeria and the world at large - nobody has been able to supplant the record of Jesus since the creation of Earth. grin

Habaaaa! Wetin come dey worry all of una? grin

And your locomotive brains could not tell you something somewhere is definitely wrong? grin

Look at our societies? In contrast to the least religious Nations like China, Sweden, Czech Republic, Azerbaijan & Japan?

A reflection of our corrupted values. Distrust, Dishonesty, Vanity, Hypocrisy, Intolerance & Sheer Wickedness.

God exist and answers prayer - and we keep going from frypan to fire?

And you are still hellbent on enriching these mindless Pastors & G.Os propagating the same lies that were used to enslave your progenitors through a book riddled with so much errors, lies, fairy tales & contradictions - and which is systematically being updated through the introduction of newer versions (NIV, NKJV, NLT).

I would rather believe Mark Twain's quote than all the nonsense lies fabricated by the Roman Catholic Church during the "Council of Nicaea in 325AD" to extort money from their gullible followers worldwide while keeping them under perpetual control.

For the umpteenth time, I reiterate my stance that - If there's any God sitting on a 24karat-gold throne anywhere in the sky, surrounded by 24 jobless elders, shouting Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna - from morning till night everyday, and he wants my money in form of tithes & seed offerings, then let the bastard come down in the company of his Angelic host and collect it from me - face to face! grin

Bullcrap.

You were making sense earlier and suddenly you lost track half way. Even if you don't believe in God or modern day Christianity, try putting up intelligent submissions next time.

Why did you skip raising of the dead? Is it not rare?
Oh wait... Cause others have done it right?

So in Bible times were the modern day miracles being done now performed then?

And please what's the significance of ascending to heaven, turning water to wine, etc at the moment? It don't edify no one.
Some of them were done for people to believe in Jesus Christ then, but now you believe enough to doubt him.

Be objective and your statements should be facts that can be verified all the way

Lastly, just like Benny Hinn stated, God (according to the Bible) dosent need money to perform miracles, the preachers only put it that way and convinced people in like manner because of greed, any Berean Christian can verify that.

But why can't the Feds crack down these bankers opening these accounts accommodating illegal funds?

It will be easier to curb their activities to a minimal level if stern warning is dished out.

Chai, all these bankers are the greatest thieves ever. I will help recover $250 Billion dollars in 2years if I'm employed by the Feds.

It's a question of intent.

They can't be held liable for opening accounts cause they can claim ignorance of the intent of the account holder.
Moreover it's not their duty to ascertain intent while opening accounts, they just need proper documentation from prospective account holder before creating an account.

It's even possible that the documents provided to the bankers helped track the fraudsters down.
