Victor Osimhen hattrick is my highlights of the game

A solid performance from the talisman striker Victor Osimhen who equal Rashid Yekini record of scoring 2 hatricks for the Super Eagles; and also one of the fastest to reach 20 goals for the super eagles team, with 20 goals in 26! Napoli owner will be very proud (remember he mentioned that 250M is too cheap for Victor Osimhen).

With the Nations cup coming soon; a triumph for Nigeria could spell an african best award for Victor Osimhen. Theres more to come from this super eagles team.
You are right, who knows what the nations cup will bring for Osimhen next year because I believe that his performance will be superb and he will make Nigeria go far because he is a world class striker. I knew it that as long as Osimhen will be in the match he must score a goal,but he went ahead to give me a hattrick.

I felt ashamed and disappointed at Sao Tome after bragging that they will win us at home. A country that just started learning football, no wonder they went back home with half a dozen of goals. Kudos to the super eagle of Nigeria for disgracing their opponent. The performance of the super eagle shows that there is hope for them winning the AFNC coming up next year.

@Frankolala in the game of football every team has what's called a bragging right it doesn't matter who your are up against you still need to keep your teams moral high as a coach, it's a psychological battle before that of the pitch where it then turn physical. And by standards Sao Tome is not within the range of  the Nigerian team so there's nothing to praise the super eagles so high about winning a team like Sao Tome, it was a walkover game for Nigeria even before it started and to me 6 goals is nothing compared to their last meeting which Nigeria won by 10 goals.  Winning Sao Tome doesn't guarantee a chance for Nigeria winning the AFNC next year, I can bet on that.

What has caused the increase in disastrous floods, and can't the government do something to mitigate the issue?
it.

Flood is a natural disaster. Not that some people intentionally caused flooding, but in the process of preventing flooding from occuring, and also saving lives during flooding, some people are provided with jobs and they are making money.
We know say flood nah natural disaster wey no be man the control am but e get measures wey the vital to take to stop this impending flood every year or to prevent am to get a very minimal effect on the citizens anytime e happen but people for government no wan do the vital tins like building of dam, network canals, dredging of some river basins but them don take the situation use open office for every one or two years as the floods com, billions will be budgeted to use provide flood materials for flood victims and foodstuffs etc etc. All that money na their pockets them dey put am.

Money that could have been used to solve the flood problem them prefer to use am the treat the effect of the flood each time the flood come. So in common sense there are people making money out of this recurring floods and not just say them dey work per say nah job something. Them just use the flood open office for their sef.

If you want try them out then make sure that they have an announcement thread opened on the Bitcointalk forum, few new casinos made it to the forum and still turn scam, they are been dealt with by raising an alarm and red tagging their account, This spreads information all over the forum and outside the forum, at least many are saved from becoming the next victim.

Compare this to if the new casino has no Bitcointalk ANN, it will take time before many people know that the casino is already scamming their users, on the long run, the casino must have made a handful of money from scamming their customers.

Information is very vital when dealing with new online casinos this days.
If a new casino really mean business and wants to be taking serious by forum members they have to create an announcement thread that's the viable medium of communication between the casino and their potential users. Any casino that tries to invade the creation of ANN thread is practically sending a message that they are not meant to be trusted in that ANN threads are like reviews ground for every experience a users encounters using the casino. I won't dare test a new casino without an ANN in the forum because to me they don't mean business and it also shows they're don't plan staying long too.

As forum member I agree on your statement but we should consider too that the forum is not the only place for the casino to male an announcement. We are just one out of many forum which they can announce their service so there’s a chance that there’s a lot pf trusted casino out there that still doesn’t have Bitcointalk forum.

ANN thread feedback is not always accurate since some casino performs very trusted on early introductions here then later turns into scam which you might fall victim if you rely only on feedback on the thread without doing further research. You can combine the ANN thread to casino review site like Gosu to verify their performance and cross check if the feedback is match on the ratings of 3rd party reviewer.

It doesn't take a thing from them creating an ANN still in the bitcointalk forum just as they did in those others. Quite alright they may not be a scam casino just by not creating an ANN thread in the forums, but won't that give a wrong signal about them not valuing the patronage of bitcointalk forum members as they'd with those of other forums. Further research is also needed to be conducted about a new casino but nevertheless Ann announcement thread is the first and closest means of information to forum members and that's what makes it a necessity to be created .

What other funny and real betting exist like this you know of?
I can recall betting challenge to approach a lady and ask her out and this kind of bet is usually found among peers.

Quote
Would you try it out if you had the chance and resources to?
Nahh... I don't think I'll wanna do that, moreover am not a foodie so the idea doesn't impress me to put a cent on it.

Quote
What are your thoughts on the concept and initiative behind this idea.? Is it worth investing time and resources in?
Though not new to be as I had witness a food contest back in primary school end of year party, mehn one of the contestants got choked in the process and I couldn't stop laughing. I know some dudes who will want to jump on the idea but to me it's a waste of time and resources as it won't be continuously interesting to people as time goes on people might get bored with it.

Quote
Can we classify this betting on food eaters on who eats more or less within a time frame, as a sport?
It's nothing close to a sports game and I can't picture any precinct in sport it can fit in. You can call it a game of fun but not sports.
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: September 10, 2023, 09:17:05 AM
I don't know if I could say that today's matches results are funny or sad! Since they all finished with a draw!
Ukraine 1 - 1 England. Ok Ukraine isn't a bad team and they are quite challenging but England was surprised with an early goal and they cannot secure more than a draw.. They are lucky Ukraine didn't have serious opportunities
With defenders like Harry Maguire and Henderson holding the defense line you shouldn't expect anything spectacular from  an England team against a mid-level team as Ukraine. By now I should have thought Maguire has improved much on himself with his crazy tacklings and attacks on teammates but it was very disappointing seeing him marking on Guehi, giving their opponent a goal chance at the goal post. I don't know if Southgate gambled this matched against Ukraine in that they have already qualified.
1086  Economy / Economics / Re: Building wealth it's not just one time Luck on: September 09, 2023, 10:35:08 PM
You're talking about a $50 investment and you're talking about real estate? As crazy as it sounds, no investment will generate much profit with $50 of capital. You need more money, I think if you don't have money to invest, it's better to focus on increasing your monthly income, if you have enough money left for living needs, then think about investing.
$50 capital will go no where with real estate investment same with a $1000-$5000 no matter what a guru you're into real estate development. There as specific amounts of money that are professionally recommended to start with as investment in the different sectors. You can't use an amount meant for a mini  roadside grocery shop to invest in real estate and expect to make progress, not amount of hardwork put in can excel you. If wanna be fairly mean to such a person I'll say that investment is a dead one before it was started.
1087  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not for everyone! on: September 09, 2023, 10:16:56 PM
The kind of feeling some people have towards trading, they feel too entitled to get gain in trading so far as they have the capital to start trading, they just have the believe that they  do not need knowledge to start, they can start and make profit with trying by luck. Trading is complicated no doubt about this, to get used to it and overcome lose it is very necessary to acquire knowledge because their is no way profit can be  made in trading from luck. It is easy to  lose money in trading when their is no knowledge to do trading, it is important to seek for knowledge first before entering the  market.
If you have capital, then perhaps it will help you gain the necessary experience through practice, but this will not add much knowledge, and you may have to spend almost everything you had on it. Even if luck helps you make a profit in several trades, then in the long run everything will fall into place, since luck alone is not enough in trading to achieve good results. Ultimately it will all come down to the fact that successful trading requires very good knowledge, without knowledge it will almost certainly be a waste of your time and money.
If we have a good capital, we can earn a good profits from the market even though we don't know how to trade. The are companies that trade for people if we know the genuine because there are many fake trading companies that can promise heaven and earth and still do away with our money. Capital is one of the things that help a trader to earn more from the market especially if our Capital is huge.
 Those who trade with bigger Capital tend to make big profits from the market if they are always profitable but if luck could not jam them then loses can be incurred.
Why would you wanna have someone else trading for you when you can do that yourself by devoting your time and mental energy to learning how to trade yourself. Considering the risk of falling into a fraudulent trading company that can disappear with my money is what I can't live with.

Another thing is that, it's a fallacy to believe that those with bigger capital makes the most profit out of trading. Your profit does rely on the amount of capital but on your strategy, skil based on experience. There are whales that have lost their million to trading due to wrong strategy and analysis of the market before execution .  Trading isn't about luck, 99% chances of you making profits in trading heavily depends on your level of trading skill and experience, while the 1% is left to luck maybe.

Trading is always overrated as one cannot simply get into trading and expect high profits afterwards. In fact, trading will definitely put us into more losses and failures if we rush into trading without knowing the prerequisites to trade. Therefore, if there are no knowledge and skills and there are no reliable experiences in trading, it’s better to never jump into trading because surely, it will only test our patience and persistence through consistent losing.
Believe me mate, I have been there and also tried it out and yes as you say it's really overrated and many people just go into this act thinking they can make easy cash which is quite the opposite and if I might compare it I think I will compare it to a gambling but the only difference about the two is that in trading if you are sound in years of training and study of the candle sticks and market flow then you might have a slight chance of making something out of the act of trading but there is still no guarantee to this.
For something not to be guaranteed a chance mindless of how many years of training, study and experience you must've covered in that field then it can't be said of that thing to be overrated it therefore deserves the flagging it's is giving by the crowd.  The overrating giving to trading is what sends the red signals to newbies that it is not something that you can move in overnight and start making profits as they might think. Gambling don't require years of studying to be in profit as a gambler all you mostly need is luck, and this is not what is found with trading that's why it merits the overrating it gets. Don't you think so?

1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 09, 2023, 12:55:35 PM
Although 11 players perform on the field in every game, it remains to be seen which players play the most important role in the team's victory. Some of Manchester United's most important players and those who make an impact in the game are Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Casimiro, and Antony. These players play the most important role for the team. The success or failure of Manchester United depends a lot on the performance of these players. Manchester United's defense is not very good at the moment. To perform well in the big leagues, you must have quality defenders, which Manchester United currently lack.
Antony seems will withdrew from Manchester United squad upcoming match after Brazil national teams removed him from main squad due criminal cases happening, its complicated problem for Manchester United next match after international break out against Brighton Albion. Jadon Sancho have early withdrew from Manchester United squad last match against Arsenal and I don't see any good indication between Erik ten Hag and Sancho have good communicating back to main squad.
I doubt with several crucial problem facing by Manchester United make them back to the top standings position and they will play in opening Champion League match in few days later after facing Brighton Albion.
The mistakes with these nature of cases surrounding players is that their clubs gives so much priority to opinions of the public (the fans) and their market. Before evidence could be brought forward and a court of competent jurisdiction deciding on the case the club had already expel the player away from the club squad, and Manchester United ain't the first taking this action. The bang bang here is that this happenings are deeply going to affect their performance in an already paralytic poor defense and with this forth coming I wonder how the are gonna survive get even a draw in their next games right now. If there was anytime ten hag needs to multitask his brains it is now

Edited out

I don't understand how this is a good news when the league is suppose to kick off at a particular date and the next thing is the postponement of the start of the season.
If other teams or let me some teams are not ready to me is not suppose to be a problem for organizers, a date is a date and is killing to performance of the league in a way that is some how not giving our league a good standard to even compete with other African leagues, to me is not a welcome development at all.
My point is that,  for the team that did not start well in their pre season matches,
 before the postponement will have the chances of making extra efforts to addressing their lapses just like I mentioned before,  and what motivated my comment is the fact that some clubs were already riding on a bad spot in the pre season games, before this postponements and if you look closely at this clubs,  not that their lack players but what you can see is that,  there is no proper integration of those players with each other and that was affecting their coordination during their friendly matches.

So the postponement will give the clubs enough time,  even though this development may not be favourable to all football fans but then this is not the first time games have been postponed so we must leave up with that.
It's not about postponement of games it's about postponing a season that was supposed to kick started on an already fixed date on the excuse of some teams not fully prepared or something of sort. How's that the business of other teams that have taken it on themselves to stay prepared head of the date. Just as sexylizzy2813 had said, such decision by the Nigerian professional league board is unprofessional and killing the ranks of the league when compared to other African countries football leagues. Doesn't it buffles you that the NPL can't be in any standard compared to South Africa professional football league.
1094  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What did you do After Reaching your Bitcoin Goal? on: September 08, 2023, 09:59:24 PM
I may reach my Bitcoin goal very soon all thanks to majorly the Dollar Cost Averaging strategy. I have been investing some specific amount into Bitcoin every month since the past couple of years. I have been at least 80% consistent in doing that through the dips and the funds and the bears and the pumps. The question that's been on my heart is what do I do when I finally reach this goal: set a new one and DCA or just keep DCAing without any goal in mind. If you have reached reached your Bitcoin goal what did you do after then?
I never had a set target at first when all gained interest in bitcoin all that mattered to me was just owning a bitcoin not mind the amount I invest in, but then after buying my first bitcoin I felt unsatisfied realizing I need to invest more Soni can own more and that's how I have been on the journey but there's no set goal for it. I just keep buying whenever I can how much I can at each brief period . I think setting a goal can put you on a pressure to meet up the goal on time, and circumstances and challenges happens in life which can chunk into the way of achieving that set bitcoin goal by delay, such things can mount so much pressure on you. So I avoid setting a goal towards bitcoin buying, I buy whenever I can, which at times I could even be privileged to buy 3 times in a month.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Control Your Emotions and Win More Bets on: September 08, 2023, 09:38:03 PM
Controlling your emotions is a must in gambling, but that does not automatically guarantee a win. Most of the time, we control ourselves because we don't want to lose more than we can afford to lose, and that's what you call discipline in gambling. Winning more bets, especially in the long run, is kind of a skill, and probably only 10% or less of all gamblers consistently win, but usually only in specific games, particularly those that require skill.
It is pertinent that gamblers should know that not because you've mastered controlling your emotions is a guarantee you will winning all of the times, chances are that you'll be good at controlling your emotions and still be unlucky and expose to series of losses in games like spin or roulette that requires more of luck than skills to win. The food thing about been in control of your emotions is that it keeps your from spend excessively and uncontrollably while on the table you know when to quit to try another day.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 08, 2023, 09:09:26 PM
I was once an addicted gambler but today am no more as I gamble responsibly. How I was able to overcome my addiction was that I quitted gambling for a long period of time,and this made be not to see and understand that gambling is not a means of making profit but for entertainment.

What I do presently,before I went back to gambling was to come up how I can gamble responsibly. I do set out a weekly gambling budget for my gambling activities so that when I exhaust the money,I stop gambling the the next week. Another thing is that I also have a time set aside for gambling so that when my time is up,I stop gambling even though,I am winning or at loss. See gambling as fun and only use money that you can avoid to loss to gamble.
One thing I know about gambling is that there is a spirit controlling it,and it is that spirit that makes it difficult for gamblers to leave when they are losing,and greed makes them still continue playing when they are winning.If people were able to go when they've won,or when they lose,then people woundnt have had emotional trauma.The
I don't get what  spirituality has to got to do with gambling, are you trying to say these gambling addicts are possessed with spirit of gamblers and that's what is behind their addiction? Are you erasing greed, loss chasing, lack of self control etc out of the picturesque of habits that incites addiction. There's no fetish power behind gambling addiction, what I know is that people normally perform some kind of rituals before activating self to gamble as just a way to brighten their fortune and luck for winnings beyond that it is circumvent to tribute gambling addiction of gamblers to spirits.

I recently created a post asking if I should buy bitcoin now or wait for the dip, and majority of the response I got from the post, advised that I should buy now rather than waiting for the dip due to its volatile nature, and I'm satisfied with this response and I'm willing to bear the risk.
If anyone is waiting for the bitcoin dip they may eternally wait and never get to buy , cause no matter the falling price it won't still be the sip to them. When bitcoin price was $16k some persons stay made the excuse of waiting for the dip and boom the price went up to $25k +  and they never bought. What am implying is that almost everyone that talks about buying the dip never gets to buy at last.

Quote
Reason for all these questioning, I have a dream of becoming a long term bitcoin holder but, dreams aren't achieved with words alone, an action is needed for the start up, so I have decided to sell one of my less used phone for the purpose of buying bitcoin.
I'm really eager to purchase my first bitcoin in satoshi.
You really need not be that so eager to sell your phone to buy a sat BTC, there are services you can offer online using that phone which can give you bitcoin as payment. All you have to do is to use your expertise if you have any.

You can sell your phone today to buy bitcoin which is a good investment so to say, but what if the bear market tarries longer with another dip when you have bought with the money from your phone, what are you going to sell again?

It's okay if @OP can only invest $15/$20 per week. I also do it weekly, but for a smaller amount, maybe around $5-10 per week. I did it on a local exchange and had no problems till now.

I collect a small amount of bitcoins weekly and then send them to a personal wallet to combine with previous investments after a month. The transaction fee on the local exchange is also small. I've asked for clarification and the transaction fee of around 0.000077 btc equal to $1.99.

source: https://www.tokocrypto.com/fees/schedule

I don't know if my local exchange will accept people outside my country. But you can try.
OP is complaining of the high fees he's being charged by binance weighing the amount he is transacting and he's seeking for exchanges with fees of at least $1 for his $15/20 weekly transaction so your recommended local exchange doesn't bring succour to his plight at $1.99 that's approximately $2 mate.

Come to think it, this local exchange you're making use of, is it a Cex or Dex? If it happens to be a Cex then you need to have a rethink and change over to a Dex with no kyc. To me it's better to use a Dex with my privacy intact despite their charge fees than to use a Cex with a low fees with my privacy in question

1100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Stabilize Bitcoin on: September 07, 2023, 09:26:18 PM
In order for Bitcoin to be widely used for payments, it is necessary to stabilize price fluctuations.

Question,
Bitcoin and other currencies A and Prepare B.
A and B are equivalent exchangeable and can also be equivalently exchanged for Bitcoin.

Is it possible to stabilize prices through market mechanisms due to this?
A number of constituents will have to be suspended to have bitcoin stabilized and that can not happen as we can't suspend demands and supply, divided interests and sentiments  of investors. In fact any stability on bitcoin without having to get to the expected 21M cap will ruin a lot of trust on the bitcoin blockchain, except may op you're insinuating a condition where the price keep rising without a downside fluctuations obviously that's not possible. Bitcoin isn't usdt busd and a list of other stable coins that's why it's decentralized.
