Insecurity is on the high side in Nigeria simply because of unemployment. I believe that if the current unemployment rate is tackled then insecurity will be tackled too. This is a cause and effect situation where employment is the cause and insecurity is the effect.

Just imagine going to the university, spending all the years, time, money, efforts and resources just to make good grades and come out to be able to secure a good job to be able to take care of your family, and then you come out and they tell you that you can't be hired even with the overqualified credentials, and then you start asking yourself what's the essence of going to school when you can't even use your certificate to secure yourself a nice paying job. It's a vicious cycle that is difficult to break. Not like I'm supporting those that are into fraudulent activities but how many of us has noticed that since the emergence of Internet Fraud, the rate of other crimes like kidnapping, robbery and other crimes that could've resulted to the loss of lives and properties has actually reduced in the country, youths now prefer to sit in their houses and carry out their fraudulent activities without inconveniencing anyone.

This can be very frustrating. If you have never worn this shoe than you can't understand how this can turn a man into a monster. So many people are living a life against their will simply because they just have to survive and our society has places respect only for those individuals who are wealthy so the scrabble for money has led to an increase in the crime rate.

Upwork is a platform used for finding remote work, it's used by freelancers such as web developers, designer and writers. It has other features that makes it attractive to both clients and freelancers such as dispute resolution etc.. there are things to be done for instance creation of strong profile that enables your skills and experience, be sure to apply for work that matches your interests and lastly be prepared to negotiate your rates with client. Thus it's very competitive. 
 What kind of skills do you think can potentially offer on upwork?

True, I am a member of the platform and I have gotten some jobs that required me to develop content for a blog. It is a good platform where you can advertise what you can do and then get people to hire you for your service.

There is a video I would like to share on this forum that will be insightful for members but I don't know if it is possible to share a video in this forum and if it is not against the forum rule, please I would like to know how I can share a video here.

point of main, holding need long time but trading is short time which you can make money everyday from trading.
First of all you need to understand holding or trading everything you need to have knowledge. As an experienced trader earns a lot of money by trading daily. On the other hand if a good investor can buy good currency then he can also get profit.

All cryptocurrency influencers say the same thing if you can't hold, you can't get rich.  That is, you must hold after investing and wait for the market correction by keeping it in stock for a long time.  In case of market correction, the coins you are holding will definitely give you a lot of profit.  But the traders who are there are mainly trading more than holding but both are popular and equally important in the cryptocurrency world.

Hold requires free money to invest long term, this is the reason why more people like to become traders. I do both, hold and trade. because in my opinion if you can do both, you should do it

I prefer to hold rather than trade. I work on a rig and my job doesn't give me the time to trade. I remember when I was learning how to trade, I was taught a lot but I couldn't complete the lesson due to my job. Most people don't understand the basics of trading. Trading requires a lot and since I can't trade for now, I prefer to hold.

Now on the question about losing up money then of course this isnt something that you could avoid or simply being inevitable because market is random
and there's no one in this world would be able to know what's ahead.

Some people, especially newbies, think that those who are professionals or experts in the market would never fail trades because they know how to do research and both fundamental and technical analysis and if someone has that much knowledge, they can't face failure, however, that's not true.

Losing is part of the trading experience, even professionals can lose money. However, losing money doesn't mean you will not profit in the long run. What traders measure is not the loss at a particular trading period but the overall trading performance at a particular period. It is at this time, that a professional can tell if he had a good trading or not.

Currently, I am investing. I am buying some stocks and coins and hodling it until it appreciates. I'm looking at 10 years from now to see what I can get.

you cannot completely ban gambling because in this case you will be banned by the society

Not true. It is possible to ban gambling. The only reason why most countries don't want to ban it is simply because the government is benefiting from the industry. Remember whatever benefits the government is never seen as a problem. This is why gambling may not be banned.

Some countries have banned gambling activities and in some states in the United States, gambling is prohibited. The fact that some jurisdictions have banned gambling shows that it is very possible to end gambling activity.

Outside taxes paid, some top government functionaries are also given bribes to make sure they protect the gambling industry in their country. This is why when the issue is up for deliberation in the assembly, it is difficult to get everyone to stand against gambling.
