If you ask me of my personal opinion on who should take the trophy of the Champions league title back home, I will, with all sense of humility, vote for Dortmund over Real Madrid, and my reasons are not more than just that I feel like Real Madrid has had it severally but Dortmund has only gotten that opportunity once and it was in the year 1997. If they can afford to win the trophy this one more time, it will rekindle a long time history that will make the club and the players champions of their time. Whereas Real Madrid is just going to celebrate as usual. You ask whether i am perssimistic over the success of the Real Madrid, I say no. In fact, they have worked hard for the position they have placed themselves today and deserve to be celebrated too.

But, football doesnt have to accept my opinion, as in the end, only the best man shall be awarded, meaning on the club that made the most effort, that won the trophy.


Granada should learn from Girona, what it takes to be great in a league like La Liga where Real Madrid and Barcelona giants reside. However, Girona has proven to the world of soccer that they are Jinxs breakers and that they can make possibilities out of what might ordinarily seem impossible to the bare eyes.

I share the same view with you on this, about Arsenal being able to Win Manchester United in their fixture while Manchester City plays with Fulham. I don't think Fulham can beat Manchester City because their last 5 fixtures was a straight win for Manchester City over the Fulham club. Fulham never had the opportunity to win both home and away and now that the ManCity guys are more prepared, one won't expect anything less.

As for Arsenal vs Manchester United, I also see the last fixture against both teams and Arsenal gave them a 3 over 1 win. Will Arsenal be able to replicate the same efforts in tomorrow's game is what I can't say but hope for Arsenal to achieve to as to further accelerate their winning streaks.

Due to the way I wish Arsenal so well in this season, I will be the most glad and happiest to celebrate their victory. I have a believe that Manchester United can win over Manchester City at the end of the day so they need to be strong and resilient

I'm not really against the taxation system of the Tinubu administration because no country can survive its economy without taxes. Developed countries ride on the same path to sustain their own economy and internally generated revenue IGR over a long period of time. What I will not be happy about will be any form of double taxation, where the government will impose several spots of taxing a citizen at different points. Most the times, the micro small and medium enterprise ecosystem are more affected which subdues their business incomes and make a lot of businesses to collapse. If this administration can treat a clean sheet on its revenue services, it will go along way to bring about boosting our economy.

Sometimes as we they discuss the differences wey they between crypto and fiat, we suppose they also emphasize on the face that the fiat currency is as important as the crypto technology today and they both operate differently and can as well operate intertwined. The centralized system also known as the fiat which is operated by the banking system is predominantly managed by the governments whereas the decentralized system also known as the crypto platforms are operated and managed by individuals. Everyone operating in a decentralized system does not require any intermediaries from the government or banking system to function and I think that's the edge it has over the centralized system.

I feel like the United States of America can not always align with the Europe and Asia in all climes. Although, the Americans seems to always sought after options that will avail them with more opportunities and protect their national interests. It is against this backdrop that US will find it tough and oftentimes difficult to make some decisions as if related to the global audience. I also feel like US may likely not oppose it if it would affect their ties with the international market, but must also take a decision that will favour their national interests.

Even though I don't see the EFCC proactive enough as they could have put more pressure on Yahaya Bello in a more sane country where rule of law prevails above the interest or position of individuals especially the elites in the country. It is high time for the government of Nigeria to be responsible, at least for once on anything that has to do with upholding the rule of law and the elimination of corruption in the system. Else, it will always be difficult to hold these people into account which has poised our economy to quagmire.

But whenever organizations like this make some bold efforts, it is our responsibility as citizens to recognize their efforts and applaud them in the little way so as to strengthen their efforts in the fight against corruption. The Nigerian government especially the president, to continue to support these agencies with Goodwill and power to execute their constituted authorities.

The inconsistent in Chelsea games is hilarious. And this is the only reason why they do not perform as they should. At this point, I should attribute the inconsistency to the manager, he does not seem to warm the players up enough to deliver in their matches. Hardly does Chelsea play 5 matches consecutively without a defeat on their side and that is something the manager and the management team of the club has to work on. Chelsea fans must be the most confused fan base right now. 

La Liga was not as difficult to the real Madrid like it was to Barcelona. Real Madrid is already all the way up and cannot be drawn back to the other clubs who are still battling for the rest of the positions. I must also want to mention for the sake of emphasis that Real Madrid did extremely well in this season in terms of performance because they were also able to hold up their stance with the Champions league by pushing their way to the final. I think if they are able to win this year's Champions league, it will make it their 15th or so allowing them to maintain their position as the club with the highest of the trophy.

Barcelona is presently struggling the second position of the league with Girona and it is interesting to see this happen because Girona has really improved and advanced beyond most of our expectations in this season. I can't blame them for any mistakes or poor performance they had at any point but to encourage them for getting to this extent this fast. Kudos to the guys.

I don't think the same thing will be applicable to the final. At the final, Dortmund will be meeting with one of the Champions of the Champions league. In fact, Real Madrid is the club with the highest champions league trophy. Any club that will be meeting with the real Madrid must be very ready and expectant of any result. They should not be over ambitious and at same time not discourage. But no matter how motivated you want to keep Dortmund, it cannot erase the fact that they are meeting with the Champions league giants and must come 'too' prepared.

Dortmundi had only won the champions league once and that was in 1997. Afterwards, they haven't had the opportunity again. But Real Madrid is already familiar with what it takes to win the Champions league including the previous once they won. Although there are different sets of players today, the morale and the management of the club will make them coordinated and powerful over the oppositions.

But Bayern Munich has absolutely impressed me today. How well they were able to hold Madrid to the real challenge is astonishing. Now both teams are past 90 minutes and are in a draw game which could likely result to both teams finishing at a penalty shootout. Real Madrid have met Bayern Munich on several occasions in the Champions league. If Bayern will be able to win this match, they would have broken the spell (lol) casted upon them with the inescapable win over the same Bayern for several years.


Now I heard Madrid as scored an extra goal which take them to the lead again after Joselu netted his second goal. I'm not as impressd as I am not happy with that

Manchester United made my day the worst yesterday with their lack of ability to prove their capacity and capability as an elite club. Rather they gave the world more reasons to be disappointed at Manchester United for their oftentimes unreliable and poor outcome of matches. When Manchester united was fixtured with the Crystal Palace for this very match, I had much hopes on the Manchester United guys to win against the Crystal Palace but reverse was the case with Crystal Palace lashing out the laziness of the Manchester United with a 4 goals over none. Now Manchester United will remain a their 8 position in the table standing of the league.

I would not allow them to judge me rather I will try to judge myself through my actions and inactions after having a deep thoughts about things. As an individual, I have an end of the month, monthly evaluation form, where I tried to introspect on my affairs to make better decisions in the near future. I will also advise many of others here to try that. Although I'm not always consistent throughout all the months, but it has seriously help me to remain informed on the progress of life entirely.

As for what people will say about my gambling habit or addiction, it's left to them. Whether I do well or do badly, people will comment so I try as much as possible to, though take cue from their talks, but introspect within myself to figure out the solutions to my problems.

Wow. If Nigeria is really the number one in the P2p trading a over the world patronizing Binance, then I can first of all agree with you that India is wiser and smarter than the Nigerian government as well as Nigeria have been operating in a seemingly loose system of policy formulation or implementation. And of course, this wouldn't be the first time Nigeria have been losing funds, revenues and investment opportunities to such poor decision making aspect of the government.

You can't be making news with the detention of Binance staff or lawsuit of the company, when for goodness sake, the country can explore more productive and wiser options to better punish the company, further engage and maximize profits from the company. But I must also mention that this government is far better in terms of decision making process than the former government because this government have continuously tried to get hold of its economy reasonably.

If I was opportune to be in a position to advise the government, the first advice will actually be for the government to sanction them through a modified policy. Since, we are a new government, then was Binance must be forced to do is to firstly be informed about our newly modified policies on cryptocurrencies which must have indicted their operations especially if they've been flawting some or following through the back door all these while. Through this, they will be compeled to stop their business until they settle some fines which will be leveled against them already.

As a government, we will immediately set up a committee which will be saddled with the following responsibilities.
1. Will be to craft out incentives which will enable them to comply with the new policies and set up penalties for when they fail to comply with the regulations of the new policy.
2. I will bring out initiatives that will encourage Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) between the exchanges and the government, so they can also give back to the community when they already are enjoying their businesses here. An example can be through Corporate Social Responsibilities.

And many more.

I agree with you on this assertion. As an oil producing country, the business is not as lucrative as it used to be for them, especially with the massive profit they were enjoying in those days, but that doesn't mean they must suffer hardship altogether. The truth is even the gas producing countries right now have more patronage and profitability. But only countries who have not been able to utilize the crude oil they had due to a failed system and corruption that have eaten up their performance. Those are the countries facing the downtrend of the oil production that has negatively hit the countries today.

Why did you say Real Madrid managed to win over Cadiz when they scored a total of 3 goals. Aside from the point that Real Madrid is currently in form and are  leading at the very top position of the table standing with just few matches left for the entire season to end.

Knowledge is power. Knowledge is money. Knowledge is influence. And I will give  just one instances to the statements I mentioned here. I will give an example of Knowledge is Power with the case of two friends who went in scout for an interview for a company job. During the interview, the first friend, who came very prepared with the beyond-the-surface knowledge of company, gave in depth answers using recorded incidents and events that have led the company to what it is today as it also resonate with the company's niche. Whereas the second person gave only basic answers struggling to figure out and gather a compelling interview answers.

It is funny sometimes to see how the federal government of Nigeria issue statements. For someone like me, I wonder if those people handling those ministry and agencies are competent enough or not. Because, you can not make statements about things that are barely impossible to deceive people. Unfortunately, Nigeria is a country where a reasonable number of the population are semiliterates and are most of the time underinformed about the true picture of the programmes and policies of the government, hence making it easy for the government to control their emotions by releasing such kinds of statements.

How do you intend to take away P2P trading in Naira from Nigeria when all you can only do is to restrict users of online crypto exchanges from using the available exchange companies but can never have control beyond that?

Can I speak my opinion on these disparities in exchange rates that are faced by the government and its people through these platforms? It is because the government in itself have not taken their job serious to look after the affairs of its people thereby giving many opportunities to loopholes found in our weak systems today. This same lack of proactive measures from the side of the government has further weaken our economy and security in Nigeria. There's no sector right now where we do not face something similar to what's happening in the Fintech industry in Nigeria today and the behavior towards such sectors are usually the same.

The reason to all of these conflicts of interests is due to the laxity in the functionality of the system. The system is not designed to be effective enough to put new advancements under control hence the distrust between the government and the technologies. To mention that billions of funds have went through these online crypto exchanges for years without a proper detail or information of those transactions, shows how sluggish the government system in the country is run. At least, this should not happen to big crypto exchange platforms we know.

I think everyone addicted to gambling today has the level or degree of their gambling as well as their level of self-control which mostly works with the psychological stamina of the person together with the environmental effects. The degree at which someone gets more or less addicted to gambling and the level at which they are able to control it can be as a result of their psychological stamina and environmental factors. You probably have been able to stick more to your gambling schedules, budgets and plans because of your level of psychological stamina which could be stronger than your friends who cannot control themselves. Despite your control level, you still have periods where you don't meet up with your plans and go against your boundaries, this could be as a result of the environment you are. Now, if you can introspect about all of these two characteristics by exercising your mental stamina as well as changing your environment, you could be able to tackle the addiction almost completely if not all. This is the same approach you should take towards advising your friends and relatives who have gone astray in their gambling lifestyles.
