Topic: Work for person this year, trade forex or gambling? (Read 561 times)

I prefer placing my money on gambling than even investing it in forex.I know gambling is very risky,it is either you win or you lose.but as far as I'm concerned,it is a game I love,and I prefer placing or putting my money in it,than putting it in any other money making platform.
One thing about gambling is that the moment you win,and you are wise enough,you can just immediately take your money.else,if you let greed set in,it is then you will that you will lose more.
The worst is working for somebody,it can only be good when you are being paid well,and you try to make sure investment with the money you are paid.

You don't trade forex without sufficient training, make nobody deceive you, you no go fit really learn forex well from youtube or signals wey them dey drop for telegram. you must get firsthand guidance from an expert and continue learning under the person for a considerable length of time before you can be experienced enough to start profiting to a reasonable extent.

Excessive gambling is also a problem and should be your last resort when you are battling with limited funds, it would not make your life better since you don't even have spare funds talkless of amounts you can afford to loose.

The way I handled my addiction in 2018 was to quit gambling for 3 - 4 years, healed from my addiction and financial losses and got a new career to take more seriously than gambling and since then gambling has always been the last thing I do, I literally don't have much drive for it now since there's other important things I'm committed to doing and making money.

If you must trade, get a grounded knowledge, but never gamble as a full-time job.

Gambling and Forex trading are not the same thing. Forex trading is less risky than gambling. As far as I know, if a person can learn Forex trading seriously and gain experience about Forex trading, he can earn from Forex trading. In fact, gambling is very risky and gambling should not be used as a means of earning money. It is better for everyone to use gambling only as a means of entertainment because there is no guarantee of earning money on the gambling platform but there is a guarantee of losing on the gambling platform.

When it comes to either trading or even forex I don't see it to be a bad idea because the white collar jobs are becoming scarce and people will need to find an alternative to be able to make a living because if you don't make money there is no way you can even live or get what you want, and truly forex and crypto will require capital but you can always look for money even by getting a small job to save up some money to start something you can also do it.

This is about how we are dedicated but it will be easier to do when you have a job so that even when you lose money you will have another to make up for it. Because there is no way you do all this things and you don't lose money it's not even possible so the better we accept it and learn to avoid some mistakes the better.

And if it's about gambling then there is nothing else that can be done when you lose you money and gambling comes with enough risk than trading forex and forex have street traders so we just have to be very careful when learning forex.

Very nice and relatable thread OP. Personally I feel say nothing dey bad to work for person atleast man gats start somewhere, I don see people change their workers level of life when opportunities show. Most people just dey work to survive you never get wetin to use set urself up you get to work with person first.
 For this forex trading and gambling aspect, you fit no dey wrong when you say trading dey like gambling bcus the two of them they unpredictable but I feel say trading they more secured in the sense that with the right knowledge and information even if you dey lose sometimes you go dey yield results too, whereas gambling results they but they no get guided principles say if you dey do am like this u go dey collect them e no dey na just purely on luck that's why they use the slogan and I quote stake what you can afford to lose cus e no ever dey sure except In the case of fixing.
In all weather trading oh or gambling no carry all your hope put on them sort 3 options too trade and gamble wisely no dey rooted cus them go surely fail or disappoint at any time.

Op there are still good salaries jobs at there, but the problem is that is not easy to get one (having good pay salary job) , most of these jobs nah mostly connection dem tey dey get am , and the reason why most people prefer skill job , especially those online skills job , nah because dem go fit work from their comfort zone without any stress, but when it comes to Forex , am not into Forex trading though, but I will say being a Forex trader not bad , the thing be say make you just understand weting you dey do and e go pay you well , all you need nah just time . Me nor dey put body for gambling sha .

The truth be say e get people wey work for people all their life and dem still dey successful in what they're doing. E still get another people wey become successful by working for people before saving money from their earnings and then go on to privately establish themselves. In all of these things, I think it boils down to wetin you as a person dey see as the better option for you.
If you don't have any income to start up whatever you think will help you level up and upgrade your status quo and then gets the opportunity to work for someone, then take the job, save from it and establish yourself as soon as possible. None of the globally recognized successful men in the world became rich by working for people so you self can still be successful if you start from someone.
Another important thing to do is to create value for yourself. What I mean is that you should try and learn how to solve problems wey dey affect the society with your God-given talents, that way you go dey earn big money by doing what you have passion for. I hope say person go learn from this my talk today

For person wey dey start life from scratch, e no bad to work for person, atleast just get am for the back of your mind say nah for some time. But nothing sweet like your own business, so as you dey work, try save some money wey you go take start your own business or learn a skill wey go set you up for life.

About forex trading and gambling, I know no why you go dey compare them together. Person fit take forex trading as an occupation but the same cannot be said about gambling. So gambling no suppose dey among the things you go dey reason as a source of livelihood. If you be the type wey dey gamble, play occasionally and if e enter for you, nah your luck.

 gambling and and forex no be the same thing, although person fit argue say them get some kind resemblance but that resemblance na just for face e no pass there, forex dey miles away from gambling, gambling mostly dey based on odds and the risk management dey very poor, but on the other hand forex dey based on proven data and the risk management dey very nice and tight,
 
For example, to manage your risk for trading and save your money you fit

1. trade with the right lot size wey match your account
2. set stop loss, that is to put parameters wey go close your trade automatically if incase market go against you and you loose a certain amount, na you go choose the amount wey u fit loos just incase,  and any amount wey you put market no fit exceed am
3. do break even, this one mean to set stop wey go make you no go even loose money at all if market no finally go your way as you been analyse am to go
4. trailing stop, this one na to set the kind stop loss wey go dey follow the market as e dey go your direction, example you fit set am say anytime market give you 10 dollars for example make the stop loss move cover that 10 dollars for you so anytime market give you 10 dollars that stops loss go follow am till anytime the market turn all that profit for back don dey secured
5. You fit even do profit locking, that is if market go your way give u some kind profit wey enter your eye u fit lock am as market still dey run and no matter wetin market do again u no fit loos that one wey u lock etc

With all of this now e dey hard to loose money anyhow for trading unless you be greedy person or you no get discipline and these ones na general life problems no be just trading problem, that if u no get discipline n you come greedy onto again e go hard to succeed in any field
But most people no know say these kind things dey, even people wey dey trade already and new ones wey never start
       So if you observe carefully you go notice say gambling and forex dey miles apart even if them get small facial resemblance
 Most of the attributes fx get no dey for gambling.... person just need understand how to analyse the right data the right time, and apply the proper risk management
 but the problem be say most people wey dey enter the forex space dey enter am with the mindset of gambling, so them no understand proper risk management thinking say e dey based only on odds, so them no go ever take their time learn how to analyse and see the market properly before them put money naim make to make money from am dey hard them...
    As for working for someone, e depends on the type of work and how much them dey pay you, e get people wey dey work but still get enough time for other things and still dey get better payment but then even if the pay no too good like that e no make sense to quit when you never get another thing wey you dey do, so even though the idea no too good to work for person e depend on the kind of job and then even if the job no dey pay well find something wey go pay well make sure say the thing don dey pay and they pay go stand the test of time before you quit the job

When it comes to making money, one does not depend strictly on anyone. The battle is against poverty which means that no one wants to be poor.
Working for someone to get a pay is most bad as far as you get your daily bread from there. The only thing you need to avoid when you work for someone is hoping to be wealthy. Salary jobs don't really make someone wealthy but you can always survive.

Gambling is a no go area. Since I understood that gambling doesn't favour me, I stay away from it the much I can. Run away from it if you can.

Trading in crypto is a promising venture and has a way of giving sudden wealth. Greedy traders make it look like gambling but trading is far better than gambling and working for someone.

As per working for someone and getting paid in return I don't personally see any thing wrong with it it's just our countries economy that has deteriorated to the point where our naira has lost value in the market if not there's dignity in labor and those who are working for people should not be discouraged with these kind of talks because in life there is always levels that we find ourselves so if your current level warrants you to be working for someone in the mean time I don't see anything wrong with it as it's not a permanent position but your in a transitional phase of your life


Trading too is not bad slot of people are actually making cool cash from trading the main problem with trading is that most people are not quite knowledgeable about the market and so they rush in and get lost and begins to blame and condemn trading but the fact is trading is one legit way where people earns a living from i will advise that before getting into trading try and build a knowledge base so you can be sufficiently trade with all confidence but as per gambling people should be weary about it and Shou always gamble with caution as it's not a very good thing to venture into because the chance of making a loss is very high

Absolutely whatever that is not money one should not involve or engage themselves in it because it is going to be a waste of time and energy. And just like you said working for someone is not actually a bad idea I mean there are some boss and madam you will work for, they will treat and pay you well and still look for a means to elevate you once the opportunity comes though this kind of boss and madam can be very rare and on the other hand Forex trading, permit me to use the word majorly because it is majorly for people that has a little money already because if one start trading and doesn't have a little money once they incur loss they are gone forever and for this reason it is not advisable or encouraging because of the risky involve and gambling should not have even been consider in the first place place. Above all the most important thing is self employed, being the boss and madam of your own.

Whatever you do just make sure you are getting money it's all that matters. Working for someone isn't actually a bad idea as long as you are getting paid, but settling at that level would definitely become a problem. In life we should think about moving forward, you can't work for someone forever but you can make it a stepping stone to whatever plan you have for yourself. Trading forex would require Capital, people that are struggling with Their finances won't be able to do this. Working for someone or trading forex are good options because you can make money out of these. I don't think gambling should be anyone's option to make money, you can't be successful from gambling, it's a shortcut to Poverty.

Op you don't have to bring gambling to this discussion because gambling is not a career or a work someone can do. It is just an entertainment. But Forex trade is a work someone does to earn income but gambling is not. And the only similarity among the two is the risk involved.  You can lose thousands of dollars in a second in the both events. And Forex trading is better they gambling. If you have mastered Forex trading then you gain more every movement of the market. And if you want to make income every second, remove greedy from the trading and Cash out every small amount you make. That is for new traders. But in gambling you can't get money every second and the risk is higher than trading.
There are many people that want to learn trading because it is profitable if they master the skills. And also people want to learn it because of the salary delay and the cost of things which their monthly salaries are not meeting up the demands and pay bills.

I appreciate say we get matured minds like @CryptopreneurBrainboss wey understand more and na mentor for this our community, because as e breakdown the narrative wey OP put for table, even oldies wey no too sabi but just dey follow up, go fit get better clarity on why trading and gambling dey very different and why e better make person learn and become a master of any good strategy for trading wey fit bring better profit than as compared to gambling wey no particular strategy dey sure to bring profit.

To work for person fit still dey on point, but where e dey more rewarding na when person dey work for sector wey em like or choose rather than to dey bear dey work for sector wey dey give you more stress and with so so complaining.

The way the country hard now for a person to relay on someone or they liability is not proper, because even the a person wey they collect salary now what they the given given them is not that enough for them to feed their family base the salary is very low, and they want to increase their payments for them to enjoy more with their family’s; since the income is very low how are they going to achieve another difference thing with this salary is impossible.

That’s why i don it blame these that have introduced themselves in any others things apart from their government work, I like some workers plan with the way they their divide their salary into two and take one part to invest and some are into forex trading they can just take some part to there and be received some percentage from there.

E been get this guy wey I dy follow for this social media wey dem dy call X, them dy call the guy Mr. Banks. The guy they do crypto and him dy gamble but him primary means of making money na gambling and when he make much, him go put am for crypto dy buy more Bitcoin and he was doing it since when Bitcoin they small price and now the guy na millionaire in dollars and he still making money from gambling anytime wey him bet, some people are really good in it.

I don try follow up some of them for this gambling business but make I no lie you, the thing really hard me make I no tell you. I been dy lose money wey d thing come discourage me that I have to stick to my regular games wey I dy bet on Saturday and any days wey dem get other important matche. This gambling of a thing to make wealth no be for everybody, I still dy put body for crypto as I still they mount everyone but gambling na time to time.

I no understand why people dey always put trading and gambling together, they aren't the same thing and neither are they related. Gambling is totally different while trading is also a different thing all together. Make we say I was to choose between them, I'll always favour trading to gambling.

When you're hustling, your hustle shouldn't be depending on luck. Make you dey know say wetin you dey do go get high possibilities say e go give you result. With trading, you sure say anything wey you learn you can make good use of it. Don't be shy/too proud to work for others as it isn't about how you make your money but how well you invest it to multiply it .

What gives wealth is having a good source of money then invest that money so even though you get oga wey you dey work for, as far you get better plans and you dey invest the money wey you dey receive as salary well, your situation can change for the better.

My people I greet una oh.
My take on this matter be say e dy very important to work for person cuz e blike learning a trade (handwork), for example if you work for person way dy sell provision store e go dy u very easy to learn everything about dat business, all the do and don't of dat business e go dy you very easy to know am. Even though you decide to start you own e no go hard you.

Secondly, working for person na the easiest way of raising a capital to start your own business.

For the side of forex trading and gambling, that one fit dy as an additional source of income depending on how e favour you. As na try our  luck sometimes.

Op this three things wey you mentioned like this know really bad at all. But the most important thing be say, when you plan you self well you go fit over come them one by one. Although among three of them na forex trading wey bad pass oo, because as I dey like this nothing I dey fear reach trading. gambling dey more better when you play am with wisnes not to get addiction. Nothing dey bad to work for person if you get target, because I don see people wey work for person and today na dey are doing very well, while because dey plan their self very well.

You see these three things wey you mentioned, my hand and leg dey inside them and na the things wey I done dey work on for a long time so person fit from there say bye bye to poverty. Na true say some people get plenty funny story to tell about some of them but for life anything wey involve risk no dey give better money because life itself na risk so we gat take risks once once to fit make am. Wetin matter na to take calculated risk and know how to manage resources properly so that person no go dey hope on cloud wey dey form come throw the water wey dey pot away. Forex na something big wey fit change your life and gambling na the same thing wey fit change your life too, na to use head find better update wey go help person do them very well.

Before you become something, you gats work for person, I no know how you wan do am but, e no get how you wan support your dreams way you no go work for person except say, you wan hawk watin no good for street if you never get small capital already to start up something. I know say, to work for person no nice like that o but, e go better say, you get somewhere to start building up that dream because, you no go just arrive like that. Forex traders Dey loss money watin no good and that money way you wan loss to forex, you need earn am from somewhere else.
Gambling matter eh, I no go talk am via say, you no get any statistics way say e go pay. Na just you, your money and luck.

If no be say this topic na crypto related topic I for like discuss other things but, other things dey aside trade or gambling even for this matter new traders still Dey enter the market daily and old traders wey lose still dey find new means to make am IMO trading na strategy so as you dey upgrade gradually you dey trade perfect. I no know for gambling because no be wetin person suppose put hope to make money regular definitely the outcome dey unpredictable lastly an employee still dey make am just depends on wetin you dey work maybe value no too dey na why the pay fit small. Among everything listed a full time job na dey important and this trade of a thing fit be side hustle e no get how you no go make profit once in a while.

Sometimes morals is what is making our parents speak this way and when you tell some about bitcoin they get angry all because of lack of information, there people that don't do any other thing but to play gambling that is like what they do for a living and I was reading the other day something on twitter how a 16 year old boy won 10 million and his scared if telling is parent and the worst thing is that he uses is mom's account. There people that they might be lucky to get wealth from gambling.


Having the habit of addiction is very bad and it is suppose to be discouraged even if you want to gamble ot should be on our right sense,  if you hear most of the things people that are addicted do you will feel disappointed and you wonder if it was worth it and what they need to understand is that if it does not favour you just quit especially gambling, because you keep spending and you don't get any returns, a lot can be use to prove that emotions need to be controlled.

Is true but not all the work are like that, I have so many people currently earning upto 1 million naira working in a company and this is own by a person, so actually while others cries for working for someone others are going home with million monthly and you cannot said the person should quit the job, a lot of people would have gotten a high paid jobs because the opportunities are their but what is affecting us is the connection we have gotten use to. However if your friend the forex trader told you he did not have any money to give you, he can be right because he could be striving for a bigger margin, for gambling you no say some of our people no they do without am, so this new year nobody won leave am oo because I they always see am as something way be say people go like do am more this year pass.

Wetting u talk make sense wela. I just want chip in small thin for everything so that i go fit clairfy you. You see for that work matter eh, no be say working for person dey bad o, na just say e they better say you go work for person with your skill based on hire or contract than say dem employ they pay you peanut. If dem employ the only way better thing fit come out for that work na if the work na good paying work but if you reason how much dem dey pay people for work these days u go prefer to stay idle instead of to go work. Imagine say u wake up by 7:am go work by 9:am then come back by 5:pm. At end of the month weting you fit save up na 10% if your salary wey be say the salary self nothing come out. As for me ah no go fit go work for person if no be my skill ah they put into work. And e gat be working from home anything wey pass like that ah no do again. The experience ah done get from my papa wey work for compay for how many years and nothing to write home about. E better sef say person be civil servant in the end they go give am pension.

Personally, I feel working for someone to a point can be valuable as it offers experience, opportunities to gain and develop professional network and can also prepare you for the future if you have plans to build up. But you shouldn't be too comfortable or dependent on a single job especially as a Nigerian. You can balance working as an employee with doing other things that can fetch you money.

As for Forex and gambling, one should know when to take a break if it is no longer favourable.

Normally, if you dey work for someone, you go dey plan your own thing on the side. It's not like you'll work for someone your entire life. Once you gather your resources this year, you can decide to leave working for someone else. Watin no too good, na to have the mindset that you'll work under someone forever, unless the company you work for pays you well and covers all your needs, if not, it's fine to leave.

For gambling or forex, it depends on how you approach it. Some people gamble on weekends with spare cash. And if they win, fine. If not, they move on. It's those who gamble like a nine-to-five job every day that get affected and end up with sad stories to tell about addiction.

As for forex it's better to follow who know road. I've seen people who went into forex and made it, while others cried about it. It depends on your approach and if you calm down to learn from someone who know road, you no go cry. Everything depends on the individual, the mindset, and approach. This year make we try  make wise decisions, and if you need assistance, find person wey know road for better guidance.

Everything wey you talk here na mindset and nothing much. Now I go start from working for person; I know say this one na very difficult thing to do currently as salaries nowadays no go anywhere, to people wey you dey work for fit feel say them dey pay you but on other hands na nothing e be compared to inflation rate and how things dey rise every now and then.

The solution be say, you bend yourself small if you no get family wey you dey take care of, or if you never too engaged yourself with woman around you then you fit manage within 50k above salary take gum body.

For gambling and trading; wetin happened here be say many of us just put our entire life there say possibilities dey there, I know say possibility dey but we need to reduce our thinking small so that e no go affect us.

Wetin make us dey suffer too much lose for trading or gambling be say we too put am interest say something possible go happen and if e no work like that we go begin panic na so we go still dey lose on a regular basis.

With the current economic Nigerian economy what I will not advise someone to do this year is working for someone in the country or in the private sectors especially private schools and hotels because these sets of workers are actually glorified workers because with the current economic realities on ground and looking at the pay that they receives as salary you begin to imagine how they survive with such salary because the inflation rate in the country is something else

So I will advise people to start something on their own and develop it over time instead of keeping yourself in slavery in the name of work because with the way our country is now you can't do anything with your salary even as a single individual

Op just say about yourself and other people that you know, otherwise, many people are out there who are praying to get a job even though na to dey work under someone. Even as you see say cost of living wan finish us for this country, e no mean say people no dey seek for a job under someone, some people no dey mind, dey just wan dey feel like they are earning some little amount of money wey go put food for their table.

Regarding the forex trading and gambling, na waiting dey kill most of our youths be that, a lot of them believe that the only they could make it is either gambling or forex trading, if some people calculate the money wey dem waste for gambling and trading last year, you go pitty dem because if they use the money do other important thing dem for don archive something for their life. Gambling is meant for fun but for this country we put am for head as means of income, this is 2025 e better make we use our life very well to achieve good things for this new year.

Wetin me i go just contribute be say everybody get one thing wey dey work and favor dem so as person dey condemn sometin, na so anoda pesin dey appreciate the tin and na so life be. To work for person no bad but wen u continue wit the mentality of working for people without thinking on how to establish your own sef, na im be where e bad. For a gambler and a forex trader, since the two dey work like brothers i go say dem no too bad as most people dey see am but e dey depend on the approach wey you take follow your gambling life or your forex trading because the one tin wey dey affect people wey dey into these two categories na to dey greedy. If you don trade come get some profits why not leave the market till you get a good signal wey go make you to enter another trade but some people go still dey trade even wen dem no see better signal. Gambling own be say e no dey easy o especially for pesin wey don already fall into addiction but e get how pesin go manage yin sef wey be say all dos tins no go affect am or worry am not to give attention to other tins wey go help his life. As a gambler, if you get luck win small money na just to stop to gamble yet take the money do better tin so that even when you play and lose you go get wetin you go point hand say naim be wetin you achieve from gambling.

Person wey dey do the three things wey you listed fit cope very well as far as they know their limit and how to handle all of them without going above their capacity.

I could remember a day I was discussing with a friend how a man uses 100 naira to win 20 million naira in gambling,  my dad overheard our conversation and shouted at us to stop that kind of conversation, he said wealthiness doesn't come from winning lottery or jackpots, that those that seriously seek to betting through out their life doesn't probably end well but ends up miserable and frustrated.

I don't mean to conderm bettors though but the habit of consistently staking and betting is wrong for the sake of been rich and wealthy someday is not appropriate, gambling should just be like a fun thing, never take it too serious, it will ruin your future because it's very addictive.

So long as we understand the risk on all those things we are good to do them, like gambling responsibly with the money we can afford to lose, trading without emotions, working for someone (in a high paying job). So many people that works in a good company are also gambling and trading forex because they needed more money. If one is an expert trader he can make a living from it (although some times you lose and some times you win, that's life ). Some people gamble for entertainment while majority of gamblers nowadays in our country gamble for profits (to generate wealth). All this is probably because they wanted more money. And I believe nothing can satisfy human,,, so we normally request for more money even when we are comfortable.

Honestly there is nothing absolutely wrong working for person ooo, the main thing na to get target while working for the person, though is not easy but most times we can not become a master of our own without serving first one mistake some people make is by not having a target no matter how small it is while working for others.

As for gambling, it is very unrealistic for anyone to consider as some kind of something to take seriously because the whole system is very unpredictable where winning is not assured, hence playing for fun has always been the best approach.

Except you are being dependent on someone or maybe you are self employed (you have a skill or business) to be able to get money that you can use to sponsor yourself for other things. 
If you want to gamble, you need money and if you want to trade on the forex market you also need money, how can you get the money to do those things if you are not working?

Forex trading is not something that you can just jump in and start making money,  if you want to rely on it, then you must have been doing it earlier before now and you must have known your level of experience and success.

Lastly, gambling is not what I think anyone should consider as a source of income for 2025.

You are making sense, friend, enough people have tried and regretted gambling and trading, no need to be wasting money, this is a new year, and one must make decisive decisions that will be for their benefit and safety. The question now is, are you good and profitable trading and/or gambling over for some specific time? The answer to that question should be the guide to the decision of such a person. A few are progressing in them, they should continue, but for those who have recorded too many ruins shouldn't force it again and again, let's learn from experience.

Their is nothing wrong working for someone, if you can't create a job for yourself then you have no choice than to work for someone to be paid for it, atleast this can serve as source of income that one can depend on. Engaging ones self on gambling and forex trading is not bad but it is not one can depend on because it is not certain.  The most important thing for one is to have a source of income, then going into forex trading is not also a bad idea but shouldn't be something that should be settled as a source of income.

No be today me self don realize say to work for person no follow for this country, except say no be you Dey feed yourself, pay your bills and other things and you just Dey look for where to get small small change to use Dey do small small things. If not, E no work at all, because regardless of how much them Dey pay you per month, you go fit don even acquire debt full your boy before the salary even come self, and when E eventually come, you no go come fit use am do better thing again other than to carry settle debt.
With the way the country be now self, even one source of income self no fit settle the financial burden wey one person Dey carry now for the country, even if na only you.

Concerning the aspect of gambling and forex trading, true true majority of Nigerian people Dey really suffer for this thing because most of us no sabi manage our emotions when we Dey gamble and the thing go make them, them no go know when them go end up spending money wey them no really budget ontop money wey them Dey cry say them no get. I no know if I go say this thing Dey happen to all of us, so E go really benefit them well well to leave am focus on things wey really matter.

Honestly, I dey always laugh weneva I see people compare forex trading with gambling. Ok, if una dey compare forex trading with gambling why una no dey also compare crypto trading with gambling? Abi both of dem nor be trading? Anyway, wetin I realize be sey na d mentality of "get rich quick" wey people carry enta forex trading and dem nor com meet am dey make dem wrongly conclude sey na gambling because na d same mentality dey gambling.

Forex trading na business of buying and selling just like the local market sellers and buyers. D difference wit forex trading be sey na online dem dey do am. So, in gambling wetin we dey buy and wetin we dey sell? If d local merchants nor dey expect to get rich quick overnight, wetin make you wey dey trade forex think sey e go dey possible for you? Money dey forex trading and e nor be gambling but you've to know your Money Management techniques very well to succeed. Don't aim for 10% daily profit as a starter. For instance, don't aim for $50 daily on a $500 account. You go blow ur account. Aim for $2-$5 daily and from there build confidence and master ur strategy. Make sure to use SL (Stop Lose). It's very important.

As for working for someone while you're on dis forum, it's not a good idea. How much dem wan pay you to meet ur expenses? Rememba sey N100k nor be like anything again and most  workers nor dey earn up to dat sef, even graduates. Except you be newbie wey neva spend up to a year here and u neva get campaign, you fit dey manage work for someone to gather small weight. Once you enta campaign begin plan to set ursef up.

So long it bring you money and out food on your table, you can do any of them you know best. The country current situation is more than pressing for the common man. They can choose to do whatever they like just so they survive. The risk involved in gambling and trading is why it's not usually advised because the money you would used for eating and taking care of yourself, you end up wasting them in those activities. Just avoid being addicted at some point so you don't waste every penny you own.

If you check almost all the gambling site ToS, you will see them mention that you should not gamble in the hope of making money through it. This will only lead to money loss, and possibly it can lead to addiction.

You can learn forex but know that it is also very risky. Use the amount of money that you can afford to lose for both forex and gambling.

Nothing bad to work for someone. It depends. Just be smart and do what will make you have progress in life.

When you are new into hustling, you'll like to work under person untill you get tired of the pay couple with the treatment from your oga and may want to stay on your own after some few couple of years. Been working under person is never a bad idea because it teaches you to be disciplined and guide you to perform perfectly in a working environment until you have the spirit of leading yourself.

If you are new into gambling, there is every tendency to loose most of money and win little because it's hard to see a successful gambler out there, some people use the saying that "winners never quit and quitters never win" to use deceive themselves and their mental health to keep on thinking about gambling and never stop, I'll advise, if you aren't winning, them force stop.

If you are new into forex, never use what you can't afford to loose and place trade because forex is one of the major market that drains out funds from beginners and keep you stranded within minutes, so you ought to be careful with it and be sure to have a mentor that guides you through it.

these three things you mention and also content creation na the things wey majority of our youths dey engaged in .
While many fit the make money from them many the loose money , others they concerned about daily bread the ln some wan end Thier misery through them
But nevertheless the best advice na the one wey say you dey advice yourself, any other one fit no really touch you.

e no get wetin de wrong if you de work for person and depending on the nature of the work, we all need to work for someone so as to get some level of experience that will help us do better if we want to stand and work for ourselves.

hope you know say doing a signature campaign is the same as working for someone and even if you are doing a good paying company work, na still person you de work for. at the end, the issue no be just say make we no work for person but na make we no de do job when go cause us to de receive payment when de below our worth all in the name of going to work. if working for someone can pay you well for a start, it is best to stick to it and if you are able to sustain yourself through self employment, that one too no be bad thing. as per forex trading and gambling, those ones that choice when each individual need make on him own whether na wetin him go do on not. as long as the money de come legitimately and you de on the winning side, just hustle your thing and no go de reason say you no wan work for person.

Wetin you just talk now, I was expecting OP to provide solutions like this than stating the problem wey people they face without saying how to deal with them.

I don't see anything bad for working for peso, to trade on forex or gamble sef. As we all dey so, em d certain sae you go find some of us doing one of them so. Is to provide solutions on how to follow each of them.

If na for work, you add side hustle join am. For forex trading and gambling, you engaged in them with small amount you can afford to lose. That just sorts it all

Of the three things, forex trading and gambling, you will need a source of income, which you will get from working for others or from self-employment. Working for others, forex trading or gambling is not a bad choice. However, you need to choose the options based on your location. If you already have a lot of money or are self-employed, then you can enter into gambling or forex trading. However, you need to learn to trade to enter into forex trading and enter into trades after falling into the hands of a skilled trader. Otherwise, you will lose. Gambling is something you have to enter into for entertainment. If you are entering into gambling to make money, then you are wrong or you are going to lose. So, if you can adopt the right way, none of it will be bad.

Working for someone is far better than gambling, after all everyone has to go through the phase of little beginnings, this doesn't mean that you are not going to have better opportunities, all you have to do is focus on becoming self employed in the future. People still put forex and gambling in the same category and I find it quite funny. Although they both have some similarities, one of them is taking risks af flipping, even a beginner in forex can flip, anyone is capable of doing that. But understanding the market, knowing how to take advantage of opportunities is a skill. Forex is a high paying skill and if you can take the whole of the year to acquire this skill you would make progress.

If you no work for person how you wan carry raise up money to carry build up your own? Everything way you mention get how eh fit affect person negatively or positively the outcome nah base on how you treat am the only thing be say too much of everything nah problem.

People they work for person save up money carry am learn trading and dem they excel for the area nah some people they even take am as full time job and eh they favour them, some they spend all their life savings to they trade and nothing still they come out but nah still their training stage be that we no suppose discourage them.

Nah only gambling people suppose follow up with style cuz nah luck and grace dem they carry excel for that area eh no easy to see stable income from gambling.

I don't see any of the three mentioned to be waste of time for people into it unless you are not sticking to the right tracks.
Although working for someone or salary earnings should be drawn to us that we are not going to stay fit always to keep up the working class as retirement will surely approach us.

Forex trading is also good if you are not just jumping into it because you hears about traders making good profits out of it without you understanding the basic knowledges and strategies required so you can cover terms of incomes out of it even when you can not stay total lost free.

Better approach to stay winning on these is to diversify your incomes on Investments so you don't have you eggs on just one basket. Therefore... We need money and going for it at any course of legal means.

For gambling,  that is literally a gaming activity that is to be played on leisures jus for fun. Get it right that you are more potential to loose than wins so you don't have to expect making profits out of it but if you are lucky to make profits , just appreciate that moment so you don't think every day is going to be your lucky.
Then you will be obliged to only play your gambling with the sum of funds that is affordable to loose like when we spend monies outdoors for beers and all that relaxation expenses.

You don't have to ignore your first source of revenue  because you have embrace Bitcoin.  Keep working or doing your work ehile you hodl your coin. It will help you not to touch theBitcoin. If you see good paying job do it, you can't put ur hope in one basket. The goal is to make money this year, if bet is paying the be consistent in it. Just make money, diversify your source of revenue.

Working for people is not a bad idea, especially when you're comfortable with the pay and job.

Trading is also a good skill and you can do it with your free time. While forex. You can give an expert to trade for you. If you don't have good knowledge in it.  All are source of making money in this Internet age.

OP, you need understand say trading forex, gamble and working for somebody (as long as say them they pay am reasonable amount) no be bad things. The only way wen gamble fit be bhad for the gambler nah unless say em stake more than watin em go fit afford to lose. Gamble nah for entertainment but if you take am personal say you go fit grow wealth through gamble then start to dey gamble aggressively with borrowed money or watin you no fit afford, that one nai go bad pass. Working for person no actually dey bad, it all depends on the kind of job you do and the amount they pay you. Just that say this our country no job opportunities so anywhere person see small opportunities em dey take am very serious for the main time. And also, forex trading no actually dey bad. You fit be expert trader (dey make profits) and still invest those profits for other things.
Just talk about those way no get any skill to help them sef, even if you dey educated you also need skill to support your self just Incase of incasity. The way when we country dey so, we no need put more hopes for ficates because no jobs, so the skill way dey your head nai matters pass, no mean say you no go read book join oo.

OP personally I only trade, I don't work for anyone in our country here but as for gambling, bro I gamble,am not addicted to it, I have self control over my gambling habits so am not promising myself that am stoping it soon because am on top of game, you said your friend calculated all the money he spent in gambling and trading and it was much, yea it will be much of course but the thing is, in some case even though your friend weren't trading or gambling, he wouldn't have still save or have those mount either intact or invest them in other stuffs, let's not forget that some people don't use much amount in either gambling or trading so for them to have a huge amount for anything they will have to save up which is also good.

Yea the things you stated can be very addictive and have a huge effect to people's mental health if precautionary measures are not taken but all these things depends on individual mindset while doing them, I gamble but i understand the concept of gambling which is always let go when luck run against you thats when you lose, don't chase loss because it may lead to to addiction, gamble with what you can afford to let go if eventually any ugly unexpected events occurs, I think if one can abide by this rules then such person can gamble without regretting whatever experience he had as he keep gambling.

Three of these things na something wey I sight say people wan dey try remove body for, to work for person to trade forex and to dey play gamble weda for casino or online. Me myself I Dom reason am for our country as e be like this now I no sure say to work for person fit favour person again especially when e come be say u dey alone or u dey feed family and salary no come balance this one na one of the things wey people really complain of last year.

Another one na forex trading and gambling I just put them together because them dey like brothers, one of my friend call me after the new year, bring him phone and book dey calculate all the money wey him spend for online betting account and forex trading Omo the money too much but that bobo go always tell you say money no gum am but everyday him dey trade forex still dey play gamble. These three things wey I mention sometimes fit control mental health those wey dey trade forex go know wetin I mean that one na when u allow am be addiction you fit dey calculate forex ur brain dey hot sef the same thing with gambling,

So this year how person wey dey do these things want take cope and how much profit and loss you as an individual Dom calculate from your own side and how u dey take control or cope with the addiction.

Make we hear from you person fit dey here to learn from our own contribution.
