    Do you trust cloud storage for sensitive files?

    Do you guys trust Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive and all other cloud storage? For me, I’m giving them 70% because it's very convenient, but sometimes I’m afraid that everything might disappear one day or I could lose everything to hacking. But at the same time, storing documents on only the...

    Most memorable concert or live show you’ve attended

    Live shows have a unique kind of energy you won’t feel on YouTube. I remember going for a Burna show. The crowd, the lights, the sound, everything was just crazy. I almost lost my voice singing along with and chatting up with the lyrics. It wasn’t even perfect, but the vibe was unforgettable...

    Most impressive thing about your culture or heritage

    When it comes to culture, I can say that my country leads. We might have our own problems, but we've got a wonderful culture. The food, the respect, the family vibe, the music, the proverbs… sometimes it just feels too rich. I like how every tribe has their own style and identity. Even our...

    Most memorable nature experience

    Nature has a way of influencing our mood in one way or the other. I remember the time I went to a quiet river spot in my area. The breeze alone cleared my head. No noise, no stress, everything is so calm. That day made me realize that sometimes you just need to interact with nature to unwind...

    Favorite philosopher or thinker that inspires you

    Sometimes one random quote can reset your whole brain. I’m not even someone that reads heavy books like that, but the Marcus Aurelius’ “you have power over your mind…” line hit me that year. Even Achebe too, his way of breaking things down still inspires me up till now. It’s very funny how...

    What's the most interesting thing you've learned recently?

    That’s actually impressive. Once you reach the level where you can look at a video and break down how they made it, you have already crossed the beginner stage. Creating your own templates and prompts shows you’re getting confident with the whole process. I won't call myself a professional yet...

    If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?

    A shoulder monkey is really going to be fun to have around. Those small monkeys are very smart and playful, so I understand why you’d want one. It's a great choice.

    Have you ever had a secret talent or skill that few people know about?

    Nice one. Video creation is not a skill to sidestep at all, even if you do not see it as a hidden skill. A lot of people still find editing or shooting videos very difficult. Sometimes the things that feel normal to us look like a big talent to others.

    Are you in a relationship?

    Wow, 9 and half years is not a joke. That is indeed a real commitment. Keeping a relationship that long means both of you have passed through several phases together. I always respect people that can maintain that kind of consistency, because it requires patience and understanding.

    What's your favorite hobby or activity to do in your free time?

    I can relate to that. Free time is not even steady these days, but once it shows up, video games really help you unwind fast. I often catch up on some shows, but before you know it, work has creeped in again.

    Have you ever learned a new language?

    I understand your point! Learning a language as an adult is not easy at all. The funny thing is that the little progress is like a big achievement. Sometimes if I understand just a phrase in French, it would be like I just won a lottery. 🤣

    What's the best way to deal with stress or anxiety?

    True talk. Video games work like magic sometimes and once you are playing a good game, your mind would normally shift away from whatever is stressing you out.

    Can I get paid in any bet shop or it must be the particular shop that I placed the bet?

    Yeah, that's true, the bigger companies usually link all their systems, so cashing out anywhere is not a big issue..I’ve done that a couple of times with some popular shops and it worked fine. But like you said, once the payout is big, they might start giving excuses.

    Betting sites are adding casino games to their websites?

    Honestly you’re right. Most of these platforms don’t even hide it again. Once they realise people spend more time on casino games, they don't waste time in combining everything together to maximise profits. To be fair, it makes sense from the business aspect, because if you don’t offer plenty of...

    What's the biggest lesson, good or bad, that gambling has taught you?

    To be honest, you summarised it well enough. Chasing losses doesn't end well more often. I learned that the hard way before I start to calm myself down. The moment you understand that walking away is a part of the game, everything changes.

    What are your thoughts on the ethics of gambling advertising, especially concerning vulnerable populations?

    Exactly my thoughts. Those ads are just too much. They make the whole thing look glamorous, but the people that has lost a lot of money before know that it’s far from that. When my uncle was struggling that period, seeing those “big win” ads every minute just made everything worse.

    Do you believe legalized gambling ultimately benefits or harms society as a whole?

    You nailed it. It actually has two sides. I’ve seen places where the revenue really pushes community projects forward, but at the same time, I’ve seen families destroyed through gambling. At the end, everything is about control and regulation.

    Sports betting vs Casino gambling; which is easier to win

    That’s an interesting take as well. For me, it depends on the person involved. Sports betting has ways to analyse it but sometimes the unpredictability is crazy. Casinos are also based on luck most times, but some people prefer it because it doesn't look stressful to them.

    What coping mechanisms or strategies work best for you when dealing with urges to gamble?

    Yeah! exactly. Sometimes that small distraction does the magic. For me, I noticed once I sit down doing nothing, that's the urge would sneak in. But once my mind is busy, the whole thing cools down.
