While such gatherings and meet ups are important for bonding to create better relationship, If you are not comfortable with how much money you spend on such occasions, you can always politely excuse yourself from these meet ups for your personal reasons. Everyone has different levels of responsibility, to your friends, their responsibilities financially may be lesser than yours and maybe they have already settled them.

If you have pressing responsibilities that require money, it will not be wise to be engaged in any form of unnecessary meeting that will take money out from your pocket. If you have settled most of your financial responsibility for you and your family, you can allow yourself to enjoy your money a bit with your real friends, money sometimes do not matter, but relationships that are built and memories shared.

We may be surprised how Chelsea will play next season, Every club usually has a bad period and maybe it is just Chelsea's turn of things. I have been thinking that Graham Potter may not be so bad, Maybe he just joined the club at a really bad time and unfortunately he is taking the blame for it all. He is still fairly confident that Chelsea can win the Champions League, such a dream! and a pity for him and Chelsea supporters that believe him.

There is no hope for Chelsea in the premier league.

Scotland now two goals ahead with Mctomminay making use of the opportunity that Scotland were able to create to double their lead and advantage against Spain. Spain now has more work to do to be able to turn this game around against the home team. Scotland have been all around impressive, the way they have been able to put pressure on Spain and not let them play their usual midfield dominating game.

Senegal secure their place in the next African cup of Nations with a Slender lead against Mozambique, they still have a few games, but qualification is already sure for them. It's been a long time since I watched Sadio Mane play for Senegal after missing the world cup. He was not very impressive to me maybe mostly because he is just returning from injury, he held on to the ball at times when he should have passed the ball and missed a very good chance to double their lead in the last final minutes of the game with a free header. Well based on his status, I am sure that the Senegalese supporters will overlook any of his excesses in the game.

You do not just need knowledge on where to keep your investment safe, but also how to ensure that it is safe.

Using an electrum wallet or even a Hardware wallet will increase the safety of your coins, but to guarantee safety, you need to also understand and know how to keep your bitcoins safe.

Some few tips are;
- Any device that has your Electrum wallet which you have chosen should be kept and used privately, that is avoid trusting people with it.
- Be careful of links that you click while connected to the internet on the device that has your Electrum wallet.
- Trust no one with your seed phrase.

Gambling platforms have to be transparent to the law too if the owners have plans to create a long term business. Saying you want to run a casino or gambling platform without government awareness is the same as wanting to run a casino or gambling platform without proper licensing and documentation. If you run a gambling platform to avoid to the government (decentralized gambling), that can only work for a short time away from the eyes of the government, but it is not sustainable, and your business may just be shutdown just when you are about doing well.

If we had not had the penalty, the game would have ended goalless, it is what this result means. We played better than the home game but still had the same challenge of scoring goals. Even players that use to be impressive before when they just started are now playing selfish and bullshit football. We are lucky to be be topping the group with Guinea- Bissau following closely. José Peseiro has to do a better job with our super eagles because their performance is not yet satisfactory.

We will play against Sierra Leone next before we meet Sao Tome and Principe for the final game to determine if we will play in the AFCON or not. Before those games, we have to become used to scoring goals again.

The black stars on the other hand were lucky to have gotten an equalizer in the second half after Angola scored from the penalty, they maintain their place in top of the group.

Generally the standard of pitch in Africa is low, but that is not the reason we lost the first leg. In this second leg, the Nigerian team have played pressing football from the start of the game to the end of this first half, we were lucky to win a penalty that Simon Moses was able to convert to goal. We had another very good chance were Chukwueze and Osimhen were against two defenders but Chukwueze decided to be stingy with the ball and went ahead to try his luck playing the ball off target. Had he passed the ball, Osimhen who was perfectly placed would have scored.

Passes from Iwobi have been very off target, this is not the Iwobi that we know from Everton.

Normally na this kind things i know say go dey sup because citizens dey sabi take advantage of each other for this country cun still dey blame government. We nor dey help ourselves. Since the money scarcity wey POS operators observe say the thing dey to their advantage, and some kind people for banks sef dey benefit somehow as dem go dey sell the money for only POS people, I know say even after the government go release the money, these banks go hoard am make dem still fit dey sell small.

Many people dun talk say dem nor go forgive all this POS people as dem dey do wicked this period with their business. The thing nor go fit remain like this forever, hopefully in a month's time, this matter go dun pass.

Big fight this weekend as Anthony Joshua takes on Jermaine Franklin.

Who would you bet on?

AJ in his fight with Usyk was slow and not aggressive enough. In the second fight, I expected him to do better than the first fight, but it was almost the same showing. I hope he has learnt some lessons from that defeat and improved his fighting technique. It's been long that AJ has enjoyed victory, he lost two fights to Usyk. I am scared for AJ because his career could most likely end from this fight if he losses to the American Jermaine so I expect he will be putting in his best because a win in this fight for him will make some other fights more possible, fight with Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder which they have plans for. For Jermaine, this is a big fight for him, he will not make things easy for AJ even though he is the underdog in this fight. I still will bet on AJ to win, he really needs this victory, maybe that will make him aggressive.

Frustrated is more like the word, he was very frustrated to have spoken about his players like that. I think he is ready for whatever the club decides, whether to keep him till the end of the season or sack him immediately. If they decide to Sack him before the Premier resumes from the international break, I am very sure that Conte will have no problems getting a new job maybe in EPL or another league, he is a good coach with a good record and maybe if he has a team where the players are less selfish and have fire, he will do better.

Some coaches have been linked to the job at Tottenham with Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann topping the list. I personally do not feel that the problem is with the mangers between Tottenham has always been this club, there is just something that that club needs, but first I think starting with a change in manager can help, but a whole lot other things need to be changed and improved on for that club to do better.

He needs closure after a loss and he decides the best way to do so is by pursuing his losses, that is a bad decision already in itself. Gambling unfortunately does not know who needs closure or not, gambling shows no mercy and cares less for someone who has even lost, he will keep loosing until he understands that closure is gotten by accepting losses made already and not chasing after them in gambling. If he decides to keep chasing closure by trying to win, he will loose and simply become frustrated or even depressed by his actions.

The caution not to follow reviews of people online is not just applicable to YouTube as you have mentioned. Some years ago YouTube had a large gathering of Influencers, and although these influencers still are in the platform, some others old and new have joined other social media platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, twitter etc, have large followers there and are now being sort after by the creators of these coins to promote their coins on these platforms for an agreed price.

In general we should be careful of reviews that you get online, many are biased because the promoters are being paid for it.

People who paraphrase are under the pressure to impress with their writing style. The intention is usually to attract merits or make one seem like a good poster when they are not. Paraphrasing is equivalent to stealing someone's work.

Some newbies who do not go through forum rules may not have a proper idea of what spamming is, even some old members spam some mega threads to meet up post count, that is highly not advisable.

The forum is a platform to learn, but everyone is not here to learn. As a member of this forum, you have to be cautious and careful with other forum members especially those that will send you private messages. Not everyone has good intentions here so you should be careful who you choose to trust. Before you are scammed, your trust is usually gained. If you easily trust, you will easily be scammed.

Very unexpected, if for anything, I expected Croatia to increase their advantage like Spain did in the final minutes of the game, they did the opposite and conceded.

Talking about Spain, it was a good game and an even better game for Joselu, who came in as a substitute for Alvaro Morata in the 81st minute on his first opportunity to represent his country and he did so beautifully scoring two great goals some minutes later to ensure that Spain sealed the victory. It is the sort of debut every player wishes for.

The sense of patriotism is low, these players know that they cannot afford to get injured while on international duties, so it does not ruin the place they have with their clubs. Low patriotisms means less hard work on the pitch. If you watch how Croatia plays, you will know that these players love their country and want to represent their country well whenever they have the chance. We can say that the state of the nation is affecting the National team.

Our players held the ball for too long sometimes, we need to move the ball around quickly and be able to hit the net whenever we have a chance to, this should be our lesson for the next game.

Also our fan base need to get creative with some new songs to cheer the players up. That our regular soundtrack that has been the same for more than a decade needs some changes to me, it is becoming annoying and terrible to listen to.

This post is relevant not just to newbies but to everyone.

 We often overlook somethings and feel that maybe just one time will not be enough to cause damage, I have heard people say, is it not just one time? but that is not always so, just one time is enough for challenges to follow. In some cases, slight mistakes and things that you over look can really cause you a lot of pain and losses, like letting someone plug a USB device to your PC, or even allowing someone to surf on your Personal computer. While surfing, the person may click some links without caution because it is not their computer, and if someone plugs a USB device to your personal computer even for a minute, you may have no idea the malware or virus that will enter your PC via that means.

You will be helping the forum to get rid of scammers and cheaters, but on the other hand, it will become distracting to you and can derail you from learning, which is really what should be your aim, goal and primary focus in the forum. Learn and provide valuable contributions in form of information, tips, guide etc. The forum always need people that other forum users can learn from, and if you mold yourself into one of these person's, you will always get merited for your actions even without you seeking for it.

I do business, If I win that amount of money, I will invest in the business I do, and get more machines, a better space and even consider selling raw material for the business I do so that other people who the same business as I will come to buy materials from me. I can choose to start up another thing or relocate to another place for safety, but I will not just close up my business.

For people who quit the job or stop their businesses, they probably did not have long term plans for their businesses while others did not love their career or business, but were just using it to pass time and survive like the pastor was running a church business because he knows how religious some Africans can be.

Spain were very good in the world cup with tick tack football that they are known for but they still got knocked out by Morocco in a shocking win. I am pretty sure that they have learnt from the mistakes they made and have made better progress since then both individually and as a team. Gavi and Morata will give the Norway defense a lot to handle and with Haaland out with groin issues, Norway's chances in front has been reduced. Haaland who we know can score goals even with very few touches on the ball would have been helpful to Norway who even though we know would have defended, they would have been playing the ball out wide hoping to catch Haaland on the offensive.

For Croatia and Wales game, Croatia should win. They are a very balanced team where every player knows how important they are. They individually in every game work hard to ensure that their team wins regardless of the opponent.
