I would like to get your opinion on the topic above. #talkingpoint #threadcast

To share a little personal story: I spent 6 months homeless under a bridge in 2014 and 6 months living in my car in 2019. Becoming homeless is rarely your decision, remaining so always is.

This is terrible. And that you have a car means that you are not so economically down. Yet you suffered this homelessness issues. It is serious.

Ohhh my God, I'm sorry about that
What led to your being homeless??

The first time was due to the fact that I had just moved to Tucson and could not get on my feet before the temporary arrangements ended. The second time was because of a misunderstanding between me and the people I was living with. I am since back with them. If I have any fault that I cannot deny, it is that I have never been able to supply a living capable of allowing me to live on my own. I have always lived as a guest to others.

Wow. I love the ending part: Remaining so is your choice

child abuse, corruption, bribery and the rest, pack your load and leave my city oo

even if you want to buy something, ensure yoyou have bribe money, so that it can be sold to you

I wonder who gave those children such orientation. Relationships are no longer valued. Everybody wants to get rich quick

children will look down on you and talk to you anyhow

I'm telling you. Without feeling remorse about it

The issue of fraud and increasing number of fraudster are getting serious people getting duped of their money everydaeveryday

Bad road networks is also another problem, I mean you can't access certain places because of this.

I use to think that every single road in Uyo is glittering? I hope I am right

People are scared to go to places cause of insecurities that surround them

very very common, even going to their home Town

This are all problems we go through
So sad

I spoke with an 11 years old boy and he told me that if only he had two sisters, he would have used one for yahoo yahoo. But since he has just one, he'll wait when he have a girlfriend he will use her.

I have never been speechless

Like this is a real life story? has it gotten to this?

I'm serious. They were about 7 of them learning mechanic work when I went to evangelise to them. They were all saying the same thing.

I almost cried when listening to them

Such a terrible society we live in.

chei! Can you imagine the rate it is going ?

So disheartening

life is turning to something else

seriously oo

illiteracy is another problem with students who fail their courses look for alternatives to get there faster for example issue of fake nurses which can threaten people's lives

And that's as a result of bribing their lecturers in school for good grades.

That's not right at all.people should do the right tin

Unwanted pregnancy amongst teenage girls is a rampant social vice that must be tackled

The most shocking aspect of this problem is teen pregnancy. What do you think causes it?

Everywhere is no longer something to shame about

Well, I wish these negative vices could be battled with but no, I dunno what's gonna happen in future

Do you think the family has a responsibility towards bringing up kids in a way to benefit the society?

Every corner in my area lies in fear because of insecurity. Life is uncertain and many finds pleasure in violence.

Can i walk around freely late in the evening? like between 9pm and 11pm?

Haa. No oo you can't. If you do you are endangering yourself.

poverty is also another major problem we are facing to the extent many families can't eat 2 square mill per day

This talking point today will make a gokd topic for a contest.... because, the matter is long. It's as if the country, Nigeria iis a typical example for there but is it really?

Sure. What is your take on human right abuses in the society. How does it happen?

parents send out their children at early age to stay with other people, because they cant take care of them

Imagine after some years in school you are left without work. This is one of the major reasons contributing to abuse and corruption.

onAs for illiteracy, hahaha, it's part of our country naa. Now tell me, if all should be educated, what will happen? Who will submit?
Lol

You mean that there should always be illiterates?

Honestly homelessness is one of the major problem people face in Lagos State because house is very very expensive.

Oh dear. Are there no government subsidized accomodations?

Government don't even know about anyone, is only in Lagos you will pay agent and agreement more than the house rent

That is terrible. The intermediaries make more money?

I can tell for sure that homelessness is very common in Lagos. But here in Abai is not that common.

Os so common because house is very expensive

some one told me that at Ngwa road just by 5pm small, small boys withhout even masks will be collecting People's phones and Money on the road, how far can this go on? Who will actually deliver Nigeria?

I have heard that but not personally experienced it. Do you think the police can stop this?

Please you don't need to experience it, it's horrible, my cousin and family left their own house there Nkwongwa and rented a flat at Ogbohill now she had experienced it many times, that's how bad nkwo Ngwa area by Ngwa road is now

wo! Corruption! I think its somrythat may never go away and is everywhere esp. in the school system. Failing students for no good reason and probably for consideration (morney or kind)

Lecturers expect students to pay to pass courses? Does it happen in the law department where there should be law and order?

I did not say anything ooh. I don't have the capacity to speak on this matter. For legal purposes, this is just an assumption... Allegedly 😂. But most departments and schools,I've heard they do 🤷

Hahahahahaha. I expected this answer though. But then, we all know what goes on behind those 4 walls.

I was thinking of a place where one can feel secure but couldn't think of any

You see them struggling with. Many parents think that they are training them to be strong. But the truth is that those children are not up to carrying those truck.

Children in my area do works they should not be doing at their age. You can you a child 6 gallons of 25 litters of water in a track.

That is massive abuse. That is beyond their power. Why do parents ask them to do it?

THe issue with child abuse is that many peopledon't even know they are abusing their children.

Really? In what specific ways?

Poverty is man's worst enemy.in my town in nasarawa you find alot of people who starve due to poverty.i think if these people are funded to farm the rate of poverty will be reduced.

You mean they should start farming to help reduce poverty

As for bribery and corruption ,I don't think it can be cured in the country, because government is currupt civil servants are curropt even the president, then who will cure who?

And then there's bribery and corruption too
In Aba,when traveling with people or goods,you pass a lot of checkpoints each one you pass,the driver must give money to those regulating and protecting the road.
This is bad for the drivers o

my sister, Aba, Anambra and Imo is facing the same challenge. For one to get promoted in the office today requires some form of bribery and corruptions too

It's uncalled for!
The rich keeps getting richer and the poor are the sufferers!
Nobody cares about the people living in slums

Bribery and corruption is what I experienced every day. Even if you don't want to involve yourself into it, you Will be forced to do so. Agboro poeple will carry your load and ask for settlement.

GainsSee, here in my country, instead of registering their children in school, parents and guardian will send their children on streets to sell sachet water or any other form of hawking businesses.

This is literally a fact of life in any city. I would not be surprised to discover that Dubai has most of these issues, despite being one of the richest cities in the world. It is a human condition. Treatable, but will never be curable.

So does it mean there is no hope? Anyway, how do you personally cope?

It is not a matter of delivering all, but those that you can. Even Jesus made no effort to cure these issues, only to provide a way to recognize them and alleviate what one can. He said, you will always have the poor with you.

Hahaha, you're funny 🤣.

Our country is superb. Let's continue enjoying it.

This is so sad. Do you have a specific example of any of those issues in your city? For example bribery and corruption

I consider myself a bit of a hermit, except when I go to work. Tucson has a massive homelessness issue, yet they continue to build expensive housing developments like crazy, while businesses close due to excessive theft by the homeless.

I never knew that a place like Tucson have this issue of homelessness. But there are real estate projects here and there?

Hundreds, if not thousands of homes being built. All of the LEASE or HOA (Home Owners Association) type, so you get to be told what you can and cannot do on your property, or be forced to leave it. True home owners are getting hard to find.

This is so sad. It will only increase the number of homeless people. Of course the home owners seem to get richer too

I thought it's Nigeria alone, you mean bribery and corruption including all listed above is affecting Dubai too

I would wager that you can go to any city in the world and you will hear people telling stories of such things somewhere around them. However, some places have less than others. The goal is to help one person, if you can, not to solve it.

you just said it all, to help if I can not to solve the problem because it's quite alarming in the world today

GainsDo you know that my country is extremely corrupt to the extent one can't walk on the road with his phone in his hand. Hahaha, if you doubt me, just try it and see if you'll come out to tell story of something inspired.

I am so happy to start this conversation on behalf of the host @bhetea01. Let me have your thoughts pls

Thank you sir @fokusnow everything is fixed. Let's hit the road guys

am glad you are back, welcome onboard

We are with you Sir. Let's keep

Check, I've dropped many

The rate on unemployment is very very high.
That's the sole reason why there are thieves,if they're busy working and not idle, nothing would prompt anybody to steal.

These are facts. How easy is it to find a job in your city as a graduate?

It is not easy at all!
And in my city nobody wants to hire because of the economy and that's discouraging for graduates.

Ignorance is also eating us up, I mean not wanting to know and the I don't care lifestyle is a kind of annoying decision

So, what's wrong with it? I think it's because such person's Don't want to suffer HBP

That is what is killing a lot of people. They are too scared to try out new things

That is terrible. Does that also affect young people in your city?

Cultism is also another huge problem over here, there are always clashes resulting in bloodshed and death

I thought its only in my city. Do they gain anything from this?

I can remember the day we will ran away from the junction of IFA due to the cultists guy's,

Everyone fear Nigerians are fraudsters

But, what do you think might have led to that?

All of this issues listed above is affecting my country. Let me talk about them one after the other .

Interesting, so which one is affecting badly? Tell me am listening

FOllow my threads as I tell about them in details.

Am following. Go ahead

Thanks for talking them one after the other. I am checking your response now

Alright. Keep tracking them.

At a time a mother do frauds to the son, wahala is too much

This is terrible. Seems like fraud is now systematic. Do you think the government also commit fraud?

chei!! Their own is senior level

Are you serious? Tell me about it a little

a child of 12 years will dupe the parents one

Hahahahahhaa. I hope you are not serious

Recently, I've heard about 3 cases where parents have sold out their children for huge sum of monemoney just to better their lives

Sold them out for money? Like they are not returning again? Thats terrible abuse

Imagine. no value for lives anymore

The rate they come out from under bridge very early in the morning, washing their faces and legs you will be afraid

I have never seen anything like that. I heard that there are some workers in big companies that still live under the bridge and go to work from there? Is that true?

Very true my brother, since their salary can't even feed them well

This is really terrible. It seems like many people are actually stuck in that situation

THe rate of unemployment in my country is too alarming. More than %80 of our graduates are left unemployed.

if you say 80% it means most are employed, but they are over 98%

Ohh my goodness!
This is very bad and not good for our country. This is so damaging to us.

the truth is that their is no Job in Nigeria for the graduate's. So, one needs to be creative and have products to sell

That's why many are learning hand work before going to school. Some have even decided not to go to school.

my dear, going to school is just to be learned and have your certificate not to have a Job. That's why you see undergraduate using graduates to make money in their offices

Over here, parents give birth to too many kids, I mean sometimes they counot take care oof these children

my sister, that's another child abuse giving birth to many children that you cannot train

That is a sad situation. Are they not aware of family planning?

I have a lady relate her experience when she was a kid. She said that as tender as she was she was hustling on the street. Unfortunately for her she was raped by an adult.
The pain of that sad memory still lives with her

such painful situations is had to forget. I feel her pains too

DO you know that the lady vowed to revenge this evil done to her.

how will she do that?? On a boy child or what it, she wants to kill the person who raped her? She should be careful not to rust in jail

Issue of bribery and corruption in today's world is alarming, even people in high places take the lead in activities as these

they are the leaders of corruption. It's hard to deal with here

Yaa Even people you have respect for, why is like that

Have you had any personal experience or hear of other peoples experience in that?

This topic is too good to miss. Expect different entries from my end

Welcome to the show my friend.

Thank you sir. Hope you're also ready to tell us tour own part of the story?

I have a lot to say. But as the host, I am struggling to reply all

Let me take the topic one-by-one so as not to miss any. Let me start from the one affecting my country badly which is bribery and corruption.

Oh this is a sad reality in many places. How does it happen in your city?

To get the answer, follow my thread as I will detail them

GainsBribery and corruption are now citizens of my country. Yea, for instance, you can't possess any position in government without bribe

GainsAs for our educational system, it's down on the ground because students in high school can't succeed or pass their courses without bribe

Really? So students have to pay in order to pass exams? Does the government know about it?

Who really is government?

And the worst aspect of it is that if you're a woman or lady, you must either sleep with the lecturer or you fail the course. Too bad

This is so terrible. So things like this happen just for students to pass courses?

Yea. And I wish I can stop

Hey @sammyhive @mr-chuks here is a threadcast..

that's right. Thanks

In my city,Aba,alot of these actually happen.
Especially poverty which is skyrocketing every passing day.
May God help us.

As for child abuse, chai, honestly, it's a shame to let you know that even our parents also contributes to child abuse here.

Happy to be here. Such nice topics to discuss about.

wow, I welcome myself to talkig point tonight

LEt me start from child abuse. Child abuse can take different forms. But we should understand that child abuse is child abuse regardless of the form.

It is very common in the are to see children under the age of 10 hustling on the stress. Most of this kids may be abuse without the parents notice.

I saw a boy of 13 years hucking meat pie one day and was being bullied by some guys because he refused to sel on credit to them

You see. A boy if 13 yeas that should be in school. Child abuse is very common in my area.

very very common. Do you think we can solve this matter

that is not fair and at the end of the day, he'd be punished for it

THere are much experience that I can relate. But I will take them one after the other.

10 year old child selling pure water on the road, child abuse in the country

Corruption have eaten deep inside our society

How does it happen sir. Please give specific examples.

In educational Sector, exams officials are bribed and everyone celebrate corruption as a good certificate

do you know that our current president does not have genuine certificate?

unemployment rate keep increasing and no solution yet

Homeless is a common. Where children are left without being taken care of

bribery, all langle even in the house you leave

many youth now are chemically imbalance because of drug abuse

Poverty is now seen as a norm

It is accepted in the society

I hate to say it, but poverty has always been a norm. Every century has a story of some great impoverished period or nation in their time.

So true but then they grow beyond that state.

Imagine people who are not willing to grow. Don't you think something is wrong somewhere

Yes. Some people are either unwilling to move beyond poverty, or unable to. Many of our homeless are addicts and mental illness.

So true

How poor are people in your city? Describe the situation please.

Poor people have outnumbered the rich and the sad thing is that, they feel it's ok being poor.

They are not willing to move forward

Is that serious? Do these rich people help the poor at all? What menial jobs do the poor do to survive?

The rich are not willing to help the poor. Because all the poor need is money to feed and not how to make it.

A man will work from morning till evening and squander his earning on alcohol

No intensions of growing financially

we hardly enjoy the safety again

many of our citizens are illiterate

Looking for work, and you are asked to pay a huge amount of money

Chai, did I hear you mention human right? Who is living by the law? Law is not guiding anyone oo, here, you have the right to do as you wish

child are various ages hawks food and items on the streets

Child abuse is a common occurrence in the society where families see it as a normal thing to abuse child

Even totoma seller iis corrupt

Social vices like juvenile delinquency amongst our teenage youths

ownAs for homelessness, because of lack of employment and flood, many are now homeless. I wish I can help them.

Child abuse doesn't happen only when children went out to help their parents sell some goods when I was younger I do go out to sell groundnut, akanmu, akara nobody abusd me, it just the end time evil mindset of people that contribte to that

People selling with measuring cups wahala

I see younyoung children hawking on the streets when they're meant to be in school

What kind of things do they sell? Why do parents/guardians ask them to sell those things?

Fraud is now the dream of every young man. Nobody wants to work hard anymore because of how it has been normalized

Which is the most popular type of fraud that young people in your city do?

Money laundry popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo

Seems like this is a national movement. How popular is it in your city?

It's still growing as they just entered the state.

Those guys arrival just made things more expensive

even tto enter transport , you are afraid

the quality of water and air have been affected by pollution

Our leaders are even the pioneers of corruption

Are you serious? How does it happen?

Nothing is done by merit anymore. Once you know someone at the top, you will definitely get there

And others that knows noone are often ignored right? What if you complain?

The big question is who will you complain to?

offices can't attend to you, unless you bribe

Its like they expect you to give them something before they attend you. Why is it like that?

because they are use to it, otherwise you no follow

Insecurity is not even a matter to be discussed

Is it safe for people to have night life in your city? Is it secure?

That is the worst time to be out. In Fact 6pm is very late to be out.

Especially around student areas

Are you serious? They snatch things or they hold people at gun people? Are there no police?

They do both.

Police are no where to be found.

Just last week saturday, my younger sister was attacked at gun point on her way out as early as 6:00am. they were asking for her phone

Terrible experience. I hope she was not hurt. Did she loose anything? So sorry about that

many people hardly eat 3 meals a day because of poverty

I feel pity for young children who are maltreated, they work as house helps and are not appreciated

Yes I also see many kids of underage staying with someone not their parents. Please in what ways are they maltreated?

Rape cases are numerous nowadays, young girls can't just go out at night, very risky

Poverty is another wahala oooo, I mean people eat in a ratio of 0-0-1, once a day

some stay for two days no.food, why

If not garage, don't enter car or bus, still you are not assured

The security issue seem to be so bad to this extent?

Very very bad this days

We have situations like armed robbery cases where I stay, virtually robbing innocent people of their properties

Is that for real? Cant the police do anything about it?

Bribery and corruption is another issue facing my area.
Infact it is now a normal thing in my area.

Really? How does it happen?

MAny government officials are taking the lead. How will you expect someone to give you some amount of money before driving across your so called check point. This is madness.

Its terrible. I think this is more of a problem for those in our security sector right?

Yeah. We don't have police or Army in my area. Their station is left abandoned for years now.

Been busy.I am Sha late for today's meeting. Had to drop by and say hi... probably answer the roll call

Starting from government officials to bloody civilian

All these Yahoo plus boys showing off their evil wealth makes younger generation to admire them want to be like them, nobody wants to be an apprentice on any job as used to be it's so bad and so painful how evil is saturating the society

This seems like a movement now, that Yahoo boys stuff. Is it popular in your city?

One bigger boy of that gang just bought a landed property worth 4m, the next few weeks his healthy mother woke up in morning went into the compound, her leg began to swell up one was shrinking, she couldn't work, they took her to hospital , do you know what? After 2days she died,

he was strong moving around same day as if nothing happened, at wake keep he staged a party with his friends, the woman is buried, evil everywhere, God help us.

graduates pushed out every 3 months in hundreds of thousands, no arrangements for job

This is so sad. What type of menial jobs do graduates do out of frustration?

Even,30 thousands Naira job, they are willing

frauds here and there, even from your own person

Injustice too is a social vice which is really affecting us today, I mean when you're wealthy, you can always have your way, trampling upon the rights of the innocent

Injustice is now a regular stuff

Its seems that judges in the law court can now be bought over, same as police?

Cybercrime everywhere on the net makes everyone so insecure, fraudsters never putting down their guard, we hear of Yahoo and many others

keyboardNit only that, have you heard of yahoo+

Cybercrime is really popular. Have you fallen to any ponzi schemes?

Government officials are taking the lead in bribery and corruption and the masses are following the sult.

If you want get homelessness level, check all under bridge in laglas

In Lagos right? Is it that those people cant find accomodation or have no money to pay?

when they don't have to eat, is it to rent have they have?

This is so sad. Some of them might be stuck in the city. They cant even go back to the village

they feel they will be laughed at if they go back home

Thats terrible. One of my uncles was stuck like that in Lagos. The other uncles contributed money to bring the family back home. Do you know they are doing very well now in the village rearing pig?

You mean Lagos?

yes oo, at Least, the one I know well

insecurities everywhere even in your house

you lock the children at home still you are not sure of whats go

Joblessness ooooo, another big issue. People with first class degrees now opt to riding motorcycles and other menial jobs, while others decide to engage in bad acts to put food on their table

I don't think engaging in bad act is for putting food on the table again oo

The issue of lacking shelter over the head is a big case too, no doubt I find many seek solace under the bridge

SO that is very common in your area. This is not common here

Illiteracy is another thing taking over in my area. Many young people are left with going to school. This cause them to

It's so sad when parents keep giving birth without thinking of how to take care of their children

LIke %20 of young peoplein my area are left uneducated. This is not good for a country .

Why do you think so? And why are they uneducated?

No job after schooling and some of them are frustrated. So many think it will be best to stay without going to school.

What is the main issue? lack of schools or no money or no interest to go to school?

No money and no job after schooling.

That another serious issue some are half educated which I the worst of all

I have seen the rich always wanting to be richer while the poor struggles to live, yunno greed is another major problem.

This is another serious problem

That is true. Sometimes the rich do not want to help the poor. Why is that always so?

If you are still waiting to be employed by the federal government, I don't know what you want in life

AHH, WHY?

With what is happening in the country now ehh. You better become your own boss

Those ones , they don't employ anyone unless you have connections

I'm telling you

hahahahaha. Harsh truth. If I am in my final year or NYSC, this one will bite me hard. After all, they said education is the key. Key to what if it cant unlock job opportunities

Exactly. I almost said, school na scam.

I then remembered illiteracy is a disease

Honestly, do you think that our education system has some blame for this situation? I think our school system is beyond outdated

Outdated is an understatement. Nobody cares about anybody.

They are just there for reasons best known to them. Gone are days where the joy of a lecturer is impacting knowledge

I studied computer science for example. Now why should more than 1000 students be allowed to study this course when they do not own laptop computers and the school does not have enough computer labs?

Am @beauty197
From Lagos state am happy to join tho am late

most are illitra because they can't afford to go to school, not that they like it that way

Some choose to drop out since no means of finance

You mean students in school right?

syaa their own na high level

People use chemicals to grow food crops and it's not not healthy for the body

I see people in high places turn young people into thugs for selfish reasons encouraging polical conflict

It seems this is usually more prominent during elections, did you notice that?

Nobody cares about anyone anymore. So sad

chile, my network connection is a mess , people! Typical example of fraud, isn't it? These network lines should do better. Data no dey last again, network dey fail...it's that bad

I really think that they are not regulated. I mean is there anything like consumer protection agencies?

hahaha so true my dear

one time i saw a case of a child pretending to be blind while he beggs money with the mother

Children being taught fraud from a very young age

before the child grows, the country frauds fly higher rate because child has learned x100

Exactly

We don't know the way out

Now they are also teaching these kids to cheat from a young age. What will they become when they grow?

that is to say the country problem is increasing on high margin

Bad morals. Seems like that is why many young people are leading a live of crime

And they are comfortable with

MOch engagement here!
Wow this is cool.

People fake their lives just to extort from others, mean you're not crippled but pretend to be

hahahahaha. Why are these people everywhere? I thought its only in Aba. But thats outright fraud

Every thing is being abused now, Even Love. chai

Corruption both small and big, students, teachers father's mothers etc

Human trafficking na wahala now ooooo, you can never trust anyone

Like people being told they will be given a job abroad only to be forced into prostitution or drugs?

People no longer care about their health and environment.

Environmental pollution is at it's peak

Does this also happen in your city?

This question sounds funny. I would have said my city is the founder but since i have not been to all the cities, I will just say yes

Examination malpractice amongst students are highly encouraged now by teachers because it involves money

I use to wonder if the government does not know of this. They keep on pretending this is not a problem

police men and some of the armed forces collect bribe from road users

Seems like this always happens in your city

Yes it does.
Every single day

Ehee! The Issue of polution no bi small wahala, from generators to cars exuls pipe, to production companies

Seems like this is a global problem. What do you think about people dropping satchet water here and there?

no one takes it to be a problem any more, it's normal

even waste bins are not properly disposed, everywhere smelling

Do you think education or upbringing has a role in peoples attitude towards littering the environment?

both of them has effect they believe it's not their efforts will keep environment neat

Substance abuse is very common in parks and streets which all cause of unemployment

That is really bad. What is the result of substance abuse?

It lead to some mental issues and other health related problems

Gambling among teenagers, they refuse to work hard to put food on their table

What is the most popular gambling type in your area?

they say Yahoo is the Short cut, sharp Sharp

The poor use the rich, the rich use the poor.

Everybody is now using everybody

I haven't gone home for sometimes now because of insecurities

owni don't know of things will later turn to normal

imagine the rate corruption will go in the next 10 years

most people are running to a little better place

I will participate, count me in

Question of the week: which pizza do you like the most? I read them hahaha.
According to your tastes I will make one with all the ingredients that you tell me

#foodiesbeehive #foodie



High sided crust, cover the inside with your cheeses, cover that with your meats, cover that with your diced up vegetables, add in a fair layer of thick pasty tomato sauce (clumpy, not runny), and sprinkle on some herb seasoning.

That sounds perfect, there are several ways to make the pizzas, but the secret is between the dough and the sauce, of course the additional ingredients also play a role hahaha.

Should be thick enough that you need to fold up the edges of your slice to hold the ingredients. And, since the cheese is on the bottom, your toppings don't slide off. Deep dish pizza done the right way.

The Neapolitan is high edge, that's one of my favorites, crunchy crust but flexible at the same time, so you can fold it to eat, it's a good choice hahaha.

Double cheese with pepperoni and black olives

These ingredients are great, I like them for this weekend's meal hahaha.

I have never tasted pizza before, but i love the sound of pepperoni

The pizza is good, it is a great meal to share with family or friends

That's very nice to know.

HELLO ALIENS! Our new community curation is up!

https://peakd.com/hive-158694/@alienarthive/alien-art-hive-incubation-217

Great to see #photography trending! Here one of the big boys cruises into the Port of Grays Harbor in Hoquiam, Wash. #pnw

Such a small, deep water lane for them to slide through on.

Skill!

Yes, indeed. IDK but my guess is the tugboat captain has the skill in this case.

wao awesome! How immense, I love those pictures, it's an amazing ship!

Thanks, I have a similar reaction standing there when they go by. So immense.

Its a big cruise and the place is nice too. What place is this ?

The photo was taken from Hoquiam's unofficial dog park. It's actually undeveloped, Port of Grays Harbor property at the confluence of the Hoquiam and Chehalis rivers and the east end of the Grays Harbor bay.

What food do you like with onion and what food do you dislike with onion? open debate hahaha
#plantpowervegan #foodie


I use onion in all my food

It is a basic ingredient that should never be missing, hahaha, but many do not eat it.

I don't think I like anything without onion, I like it in any form, raw, as a stir fry, I love onion hehe.

The caramelized onion is fantastic, I invite you to my kitchen whenever you like, although I have more desserts than food hahaha.

Much better, I love dessert

A dessert always goes well hahaha

I don't dislike and love onion rings! :)

Great in salads for lunches.

This is difficult 😅

I wait for you 😁

It's easy, all except the desserts and because I haven't tried the first one yet.

Sweet onion 🤔 hahaha, caramelized onion for the breads

'Content is the customer experience.....'

Something I heard while driving today. Really hit me, and thought how it relates here on the blockchain.

i need to digest this....

Contentment is intrinsic to the romance of content. Leo on the top of Hive Blockchain is making us experience as well as to createe that kind of content.

my crypto strategy has been very haphazard, with assets spread everywhere. I don't have much, but I need to consolidate what I do have, and dollar cost average into projects that I believe in.

I did this during the last bull run, consolidated to about 5 different coins. That’s plenty to stay on top of

Especially while building with 2 of the 5 lol

My brother you did well. Keeping our mother planet clean should be our top priority. I do clean my environment often. Weldon and continue this good work.

It takes love and grace to have siblings who cares and look out for you. I am thankful for having such kind of sisters. I am thankful that we are graduates and doing well today. #emotionsfeelings

1/ 🧵

I'd wanted to stop schooling after my college education but my sister refused and assured me of supporting me so that we all would be graduate and today, I am glad I went and finished. Thankful for the support and love from these two. 2/🧵

Family are the best gift of life and it's good to see you're blessed with wonderful siblings. Congratulations on all being graduate.

Thank you, Vickoly.

My buy order wasn't hit at $0.285 before the pump lol. I think I should have approximately 5.21% profit if it was hit!

haha, happens sometimes.

Still at low prices.

Need to get back above 0.5

It’s for this particular reason I hate setting up trades lol. At times I’ll set a buy at a relatively low price and it hits it and goes further below which annoys me very much. But you shouldn’t change it though as am sure it will hit.

It's up for more than 6% haha

🚨 Today at 2 PM in Cuba, the SEC President, Gary Gensler, is expected to provide some clues about the current situation of the #Bitcoin spot #ETF requested by Grayscale All details on this #threadstorm

1/ Grayscale won the lawsuit against the SEC for its Bitcoin spot ETF. The SEC has to make a decision today on their request. What does this mean for the cryptocurrency market?

3/ The SEC has rejected all cryptocurrency ETF applications so far, citing vulnerability to manipulation and fraud. Grayscale applied in 2021, but the SEC denied it.

4/ Due to this, Grayscale sued the SEC in federal court, arguing that their ETF was similar to Bitcoin futures the SEC had approved. The court ruled in favor of Grayscale and overturned the SEC's decision

5/ The SEC has to review Grayscale's request and issue a new decision today, according to legal deadlines. If approved, it would be the first Bitcoin spot ETF in the U.S. If rejected, it would be another disappointment for the sector.

6/ Approval of Grayscale's ETF could boost the price and adoption of Bitcoin, creating greater demand and confidence in the cryptocurrency. Rejection could lead to a temporary price drop and loss of confidence.

7/ The effect of the SEC's decision also depends on how the market reacts and the sector evolves. Other factors influence Bitcoin's price and adoption, such as supply and demand, relevant news, and technical and fundamental d
evelopments

8/ There are other spot ETF applications under SEC review, including those from BlackRock, ARK Invest, Bitwise Asset Management, VanEck, WisdomTree, Fidelity, etc. The SEC may approve some or all of these requests in the coming months.

9/ In conclusion, Grayscale's lawsuit against the SEC is a significant event for the future of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. and for the development of the cryptocurrency market in general.

10/ The court's decision has given Grayscale a new opportunity for SEC approval, but it doesn't guarantee that it will happen. We'll be watching what the SEC says today.

That's all folks, a quick summary to understand what will happen this afternoon. If you liked it, don't forget to give me a ♥️🔄🗣️

It doesn't cost you anything, and it helps me a lot.

‼️‼️UNTIL NEXT TIME‼️‼

My interest in the book isn't about apportioning blames but to reflect on the roles played by visiting Europeans and the local accomplices to underdevelop Africa.

here we go again.

Once again Pak lost against Australia in cricket worldcup while chasing target.

305-10, all out.

Lol, I wonder why Aussies always like literally always defeat us whenever they're struggling against others lol. #sports

Sadness is becoming darker day by day. Both Bangladesh and Pakistan are lost their match. I don't know which team I will support if they won't qualify for the semi.

true, I can feel your pain.

I hope Bangladesh will make a strong comeback as well as Pakistan!!

The way Nigeria is right now,if you like spend wisely, your money will still finish.

#economy #nigeria

1000% 😃 sure

Good morning all....Starting the day by completing some quests at zealy And it is time to start!

  • The power of a praying wife is one book I will recommend to both a man and a woman to read once in their lives and I will tell you why
    #hivelearners

    1/🧵
  • There's no better way to truly love your spouse than by lifting him or her up in prayers on a consistent basis. This book was written out of experience and it unveils many reasons why couples should pray for each other Always
    2/🧵

I guess this book is loaded with great teachings in there as it talks about the power of a praying wife. A woman and wife should be prayerful at home.

  • it is my dear... you just need to read it and see to your self

I had never heard of that book, I hope it was a very rewarding read.

It is.
You may need to read it

hmm
Without even knowing the content
The topic itself is catching

It seems everyone are in a relationship now a days. I see love everywhere and I’m like tsk
Don’t they have something better to do.
Since I notice love was in the air, I have been putting on nose mask

Be ready for 2024-February-14: Valentine's Day. You'll need more powerful tools on that day than you use right now.

hehe
I will use the mask the military use when there is a teargas

I love it when the price of EVERYTHING goes up yet what they offer and what you earn stays the same... (This is a sarcastic message)

(No it isn't. YOU SPITTING FACTS!) lmao

Hehe, over here what they offer doesn't even stay the same it reduces. The inflation is crazy. I wonder how we're surviving. The middle class are becoming poor, and the poor are getting pounded to the ground.

Since, I've been in crypto, I have not taken any profits. I need to learn.

Not even in the bull runs?

I would also like to say many thanks for the LEO delegation. I literally just saw it. I was surprised and I'm very appreciative. Thanks so much.

profits you mean by #trading in #crypto or you're just holding em till now?


How it's done! 😀👌

I Enjoy my weekends walkimg and eating out. #oliodibalena #hivecuba #leofinance #hivegarden

I also like to spend my weekend specially. I usually go somewhere I want or eat something I like. All in all I want to create sweet memories in every weekend.

I like to have sweet memories for my weekends activities too

Nice week-end activity

Thanks

When is the next contest?

After listening to @vaultec on the spaces, this is going to be very exciting next year. @vsc is going to change everything about Hive.

enjoyed and excited . Thanks sir for these spaces. I will listen one more time

I am glad you enjoyed it. Did you find value in it?

I found a lot of new stuff to read and learn about. I mean about the VSC network which I had no clue about it. It was shocking

What are the changes?


Question of the week: which pizza do you like the most? I read them hahaha.


According to your tastes I will make one with all the ingredients that you tell me


#foodiesbeehive #foodie



That looks exceptional.

This weekend is for eating pizzas hahaha

Nothing wrong with that. It isnt on my list but, damn, it could be.

Try to eat it this weekend, we should always give ourselves a good taste and even more if it is about eating pizzas hahaha.

There is one pizza in dominos called FARMHOUSE and this is my favourite. They put different stuffs but its a tastier one for me.

Variety is the spice of life hahaha, that one sounds great, I must try it.

since my childhood day I have never been a fan of pizza, so even if pizza has different types I don't even know, I hope I will later love pizza someday.

Wow... well maybe it's the preparation, but I'm sure you'll try the right one and then you'll love it!

The pizza I like the most must be with artisanal dough, cheese, ham, mushrooms and pepperoni, how delicious XD

Homemade is always the best hahaha, mushrooms are a special ingredient that I love.

1/ This round from the Mason Mint weighs one troy ounce, is struck in.999 pure silver, and has incredibly detailed artwork that is truly stunning to see. #ladiesofhive #leofinance #hive #threadstorm

N00b question here, I know, but is staking $LEO the same as "powering it up" as #leopower?

I've always used PeakD as my front-end for long-form content and fairly new to #inleo for short-form threads. Who's got a good article on LEO token?

Staking is same as powering up your hive or leo. There are terms like locking which are not holding the same property or meaning.

Staked can be unstaked but locked is locked for x amount of time.

Thank you!

Oh yes it’s literally the same thing. People get pretty confused cause on other chains like on binance staking is not referred to as power up. Infact that term is not even used on those chains. But it’s the same.

Thank you!

Appreciate the feedback yall

I've now powered up my first 500 $LEO

Let's Go #inleo! #ROAR!

Think about LEO as a 2nd layer of rewards on top of your HIVE.

Now when you vote on inleo content, you use both your HIVE and LEO stakes to reward/earn.

it's already 2am... not gonna sleep until I #write something.

Not putting it on tomorrow.

oh wow, that's determination. Oh well, it's 4am now I assume. Hope you've written something and gone to bed. Sleep is very important. Atleast it's the weekend so you can sleep in.

it's 4am now and I've just published it..

Literally 1% battery ATM while typing this

Off to sleep now...Gn

I feel grateful about how far I've come in life no matter how things are right now, good health is one to be thankful for.

The beauty of friendship is being there for one another regardless of the times and season and blessing here seems to be the very best friend anyone should have.
