Bro, which app is the best for P2P?
Sincerely I do not know of any p2p app presently.
Nairaex is an option though not sure if it fits as a p2p platform.

[quote author=gamaliel9 post=98777247]Bar 2P2, how is Luno,bINANCE and Bundle going to bypass this cbn directive?

Some people just want everyone to suffer, and then they will be happy saying that they are transferring 5k to every account every month...allow people t make their own money instead og giving them that 5k a month..these exchanges have employed people and some of them apps were started by Nigerians oo..CRYPTOS HAVE TAKEN MANY OUT OF POVERTY THESE TWO MONTHS ALONE OOO...Very anti-rich policy...must we all be slave to politicians...must we be paid 30k a month?

Before now (2018) I used nairaex to buy and sell BeeTeeCee. Someone should check them out if they're still in business.

It is depending on how you are reaching out to. Daba can liquidate hundred million naira worth of bitcoin for you now. P2P is basically selling your bitcoin to who needs it and the person credits your account. It was the major way of trading cryptocurrencies before the rise of exchanges.
Thanks for the heads up.
Who is Daba?

You can sell via peer to peer. Don't pull out now. Theres a major bull run.
P2P is not convenient for volume transactions. I may be wrong though.

Kindly explain how p2p works.

The Nigerian government is anti-people.

I believe the ban will only affect deposits/withdrawals. Funds in your crypto wallet are very much safe.

For now peer2peer transactions is the option to go. Though not very convenient.

It's true. You can no longer withdraw your money except by peer to peer distribution. Just leave it to there because theres a major bull run. The country is doomed and every developer should find ways to japa.
This simply shows that the Nigerian government is anti-people.

My main concern is how to pullout my initial capital atleast. As I can't risk losing it all.

Good day bro,

There is this news I read an hour ago about the ban of cryptocurrency trading in Nigeria by the apex bank CBN.

How true is this because I made a huge investment on the luno platfotm.

I agree that I haven't fully internalised the red pill, but I don't have the scarcity mindset and oneitis lol, that was the easiest pill to swallow for me.
Although I was naturally introverted and shy before the red pill, I noticed I had problem making eye contacts with people (man, woman, child), and found people who talk while staring directly at you uncomfortable.
I am just wondering if it should be a source of concern to me.
It is a sign of insecurity and lack of confidence.
In a business setting, it could spell distrust.

Practice eye-gazing using the mirror. Then start with a minimum of 20-30 secs of eye contact before you break while conversing with someone.

You can start this practice with your siblings, friends or close buddies.

Skepticus:
[b]You are right. It's their mental frame of mind boosted by learning their craft in dominantly-male environments in the early years of their mental formation. From my experience, Plumbers, Welders, Bricklayers, Mechanics, handyman types, Construction workers, Truck drivers etc to uneducated or minimally-educated traders (rich or not-rich)make this cut as purple-pilled men. There are SIMPs among them. No doubt.

Lacking much Western-education they are less prone to being brainwashed consciously and subconsciously by the liberal nonsense that has filled the western education of today raising highly educated but weak, spineless idi.otic boys/men, carrying worthless certifications around with no skills. Also, when the rest of us were getting our head filled with good education laced with liberal, blue-pilled nonsense in the classroom and popular media, they were honing practical skills useful in the environment they were, for the future. A good number of them married quite early, getting the women at their biological best[/b] Like the typical educated fool, I always rated myself above them (blue-collar guys) but i started to take special interest in the personal lives of the ones around me that were married (and also married early) when I started to take the red pill and being encouraged by men (based in the west) who shared red pill/MGTOW/PUA contents online to study uneducated/minimally-educated blue-collar me.

Look at Forbes-rated Dangote (Richest Man in Africa by ratings) whom a lot of men (and some guys here) rate as Alpha, getting himself muddied up, in the drama and antics of a low-life, ghetto-trash, African American LovePeddler. I don't know much details about his dealings with this woman. Only from the details available to us in the media. With his international reputation, he shouldn't have brought himself low replying the lady in the media. He just gave her undue attention and you can tell that the lady is enjoying the attention and fame in the chaos. He should have just gone low-key using the law and any other means to prevent himself for being exploited instead of running to media to engage the bîtch like a sissy.
You gave a near apt description of my (redpill) dad. I doubt if he even knows such lingo exist. Though his highest formal education was at the basic level, he gave us the best of education in the country.

An artisan.

Got married at a young age (<25) to mumsy at her prime (<21).

Built a house both in town and villa from his handwork.

Had cars; private and commercial.

Has a traditional chieftaincy title.



When I was still 'plugged into the matrix' I used to think he is cold hearted because he spoke and related with us void of emotions; except for few rare occasions.

But now I know better.

Old man is now enjoying life as a retired king while mumsy does her very best to make him happy at all cost.

He is my patriarch role model.

I get what you mean, but he FIRED her, not the other way around. There is a difference and it should remain that way.

Togoda01, during the lockdown this year I was fooling around on tinder for a minute. Met this girl Jessica, not my spec, she was thick and plump, somewhat sèxy I guess, and she'd taken a liking to me.

Should would video call me on WhatsApp and while we were talking, she would be licking her lips and making all those facial expressions, trying to hard to be sèxy or whatever. I found the whole thing to be childish cos to me she really wasn't all that.

She would ask me what I thought of her bòobs or her àss and I'd tell her they were okay or warn her to stop asking me rubbish. Always fishing for compliments. She would sigh and say:

"I don't know why I like you so much. You are lucky I swear."

I go raise eyebrow like, who be this one?

Eventually we got around to discussing her coming over and stuff. Then she started saying no sex. I said no wahala. But she kept raising the topic over and over again emphasising on the no sex thing. I had to warn her to stop abeg, and not come if she didn't want to, say no be by force. After all, I had already assured her that I had no interest in having sex with her, especially as she wasn't my type.

I told her that if she came around I would give her a very long rope and I left a caveat that:

If after she visits and leaves, if she dares open her mouth and complain later that I didn't touch her at all, that Ogun will kill her.

We agreed on a date. She'd come around 10 or 11 am. No wahala.

On the morning of said day I called her to find out where she was and if she'd left her house and the idiot busied my call.

Imagine the audacity? I didn't call her again I just locked up.

Na so the matter end. After a few days this girl started sending me messages, commenting on my WhatsApp status. I ignored for days, then she asked if I didn't want to talk to her again. I told her she has plenty guys she talks to, that she should talk to them cos I see her WhatsApp statuses and it's all these kind of girls with plenty male 'besties'. She say no be so, I say na she sabi.

Even for her to explain why she busied my call, she had no explanation. Girls just want to do stùpid and senseless shìt to you and they expect you to take it like a man, however, they ALWAYS find it hard to enjoy a taste of their own medicine.

Long story short, it rained heavily one day. Na so this girl just call me out of the blues.

"Who is this?"

"It's Jessica."

"Jessica who?"

"Jessica now."

"Jessica from where?"

"Jessica now... from Tinder."

"Okaaaaay... FAT Jessica. What's up now?"

"Fat? Am I fat? I'm not fat now."

"What do you want?"

"Are you at home? I'm around your area."

I was shocked and had to stare at my phone. So this girl thinks she can just call me up from nowhere and I will jump? Did she think I have nothing better to do?

I told her I wasn't home and told her that if she needed to see me she needed to book an appointment in advance. You don't just call someone up out of the blues and expect the person to jump at your behest. The girl was shocked and I wondered why. Probably, no guy had ever put her off like that. They always think that at the prospect of getting laid, all guys lose their senses, cos I know that it was konji that was driving her to call my phone.


I was chilling at home that day, without a care in the world.


XOXO.

I don't think it is Corona virus abeg....I had the same thing early last year around April (same loss of taste and smell).My sister had it too ,we are seven in my family and it only affected three of us .....It is not Covid bro.

The thing now is whatever affects my sister affects me too sometimes ... grin grin.
I didn't say it is corona virus. However the above symptoms should not be overlooked either.

Your other siblings could be asymptomatic.

I'm simply saying is to be on the safe side by assuming the virus is out there.

2weeks back (around 23rd December) I started to to feel weak, serious headache, lost sense of smell and taste with dry cough.

A simple google search pointed it to corona virus common symptoms at early stage.

I quarantined myself by remaining indoors, luckily I was the only one at home as my siblings traveled during the Yuletide. Then stocked-up on fruits; some i blended into smoothie.

Cut lemon, lime, ginger, tumeric into pieces, boiled it together and sniffed the steam afterwards (this is my antidote for the dry cough and it worked wonders).

I engaged in the above process consistently for 3-4days and felt better yet I continued till this day.

You might say the symptoms could have been for any other illness. You are right.

However, kindly note that the chances of it been corona virus (with the listed common symptoms) are high during this pandemic period.

Yes, I'm in Lagos, Nigeria the hotspot of the virus cool

Stay safe !

The controversy and conspiracy surrounding this coronavirus is too much.

Whether the virus is real or scam is what I can't really fathom but I am sure that it doesn't exist in Nigeria, all those figures of cases being manufactured are done for the selfish interests of certain people in high places probably to get funds from W.H.O and other health authorities.

Lastly, let Bill Gates and other well meaning individuals or associations pushing for the said vaccines administer it to their respective families grin grin grin grin grin grin, I appreciate their kindness but let them not come close to Naija…Covid no dey here.

I got interested in the matter of mods shutting down this page or not:

While I don't think that would happen soon, I've chosen to act while having fun.

I've coded a script and scraped this thread: all 147 pages of it (as at this afternoon). grin

The whole data has been stored on my SSD in JSON format. I'll be releasing the code after cleaning it up.

Here's the format for now:


{
page_number: {
post_number: {
author: str,
text: str,
likes: int,
shares: int,
date: str,
},
},
}


With the JSON data (accessible by all), one could do interesting things like sorting posts made by particular users, most liked, shared, etc.

The version 2 of the script will store images and memes so nothing will be lost; might drop it on github when I'm done.

It's lots of interesting things to do with data from this page, -- with little AI and Language Processing, I will separate the posts into:
1. Questions (and answers to those questions)
2. Experiences (and users opinions)
3. Philosophies
...

Lots of interesting things to do with this page right now... you guys should stay tuned. 21cents and co, don't worry, we've got your back.

P.S. : Martinez39s, you didn't think of this? I want to believe you already have some pages of NL "programmatically" stored OFFLINE grin
If you don't mind, I'll like to learn this data scrapping technique from you.

You need to go to Plateau state and see the breathtaking rock formations, undulating plains as far as the eyes can see.
There is this village in Taraba where they literally live in the clowds - the beauty is out of this world.
Nigerians sure have a way of not valuing their own things.

The Western world will profile this oasis and tag it the GATEWAY TO HAVEN or THE 10th WONDER OF EARTH if they had this beautiful landscape in their backyard.

Then see as people from around the world will flood that location to have a close peep.

As per some research done by researchers, it has been shown that cannabis has an extremely important role in making your body feel better and allow you to think about all problems differently. One of my friends was in depression and this was recommended to him by a doctor. For now, also doctors understand that it is helpful. The problem is that it is not legal everywhere, and not all can use this treatment, I'm a gym trainer and recently was advised by a doctor that there are a lot of methods to relax the body and make it feel better, advised sakratom.com, have somebody used and what you think about?
I loath the whole misconception about the use of Marijuana mostly in 3rd world countries. The west are already tapping into the unending utility of this wonderful herb.

Blame it on the society for associating vices with MJ consumption.

Blame it on our educational/health practitioners for lack of public re-orientation.

Blame it on wasiu the street boy for his misdemeanors after over indulgence.

Blame it on the general populace for laxity in personal research.

I have always pondered on this creation story with a hundred and one questions popping in my mind at same time.

After consuming many books on philosophy and theology (the hole bible inclusive), I came to a subjective conclusion that -

Man is a precise/conscious effort by God himself and an Equal to God.

Now that his equal can be called the HOLY SPIRIT.

Notice prior to the collaborated creation of man, God spoke other things to existence - Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: And there was light.

But when He wanted to create man he summoned an equal (Holy Spirit).

ethicallyright:
People of African decent have a disgraceful tradition of claiming what other people built. Their lazy history of seeking to take control of what other races built has kept my own race at the bottom of the human chain because we either cry like babies for the most unimportant things like a deserving loud boo from the crowd at European stadiums who pay the players luxurious wages through gate fees and merchandise purchases or systematic racism after career criminals are left behind bars.



Just like we expect to get equal rights at Europe after abandoning our local leagues, stadiums , hospitals and schools , we have extended our menacing behavior to religion.

Saying Jesus was not white is like saying Oduduwa, Sango and Amadioha were not black. Was the Bible written in an African language?

If our ancestors conquered territories in the dark ages and forced people to convert to our African religions , we would not have to explain to anybody why God is a black man. Just like millions of Muslims across the world think that Arabs are superior to their own race and that Arabic is the best language on Earth, every one would have thought that we were special people and surrendered their resources to us.
Articulate and well said.

Value is created from within before respect can be attracted from without.

When you abandon your human and natural resources to rot away and on the other hand place massive attachment to that of others. Subconsciously you surrender your will and depend on others to think for you.
Now the moment they start thinking on your behalf, you become mentally enslaved.

Africa was once great; perhaps even greater than the ancient Roman empire but greed and shortsightedness stole her glory.
