This is surely a complex and sentimental topic to talk on and although it's better to work with the reality and allow past event go away, we can't deny that thier was once upon a time when Africans where enslaved by a set of folks that were previledge to have seen civilization before Africans and used that to thier advantage denying them of the resources they hard and tortured and molested them because they were valnourable and weak technologically.

Years and years have gone by and can we truly say that we've been fully liberated? I doubt. We are now enslaved by our shallow minds and our own people who fortunate for them got access to our own resource still enslave the majority of us just like the white did and does it in any way suggest that they are better than the white or that the freedom we have now has made any big difference in our nation. The era of slave trade have gone but secretly we're still not free from it.

Most gamblers abuse daily gambling, because they don't abide by the rules or criteria needed to gamble every day. It's not a steady process, the gambler also needs to take some rest from gambling each day. I still commend your response as a valued one, because it stands on gambling when relaxed. If a player is not opportune enough to possess enough free time, he should wager when he's got the time. Then a player who gambles each day and doesn't know when to stop or rest from such activity should quickly stop, as it could lead to problem gambling.  
the way I look at it, gambling every day kind of suggest that you're becoming addicted to gambling and I wouldn't want to try it. I believe even for people that do sports gambling that's mostly done during the weekend and midweek, it's not too good to gamble everytime thier is a match, doing so will kind of enslave you to the routine and if you're not carefully to get all of checks right, you might end gambling above your  limit without even knowing you're doing so.

Maybe a maximin of two time gambling should be okay for the week and if you're considering other fun activity, you can decide to play games like snucker, minor sports or use your spare time to catch up with loved ones so it doesn't appear as thought you're spending all your free time engaging in gambling activities.

Big loss for Liverpool. This will have an effect on their league form as well as they will start to doubt themselves. If they lost at home to Atalanta, what is stopping Crystal Palace from visiting in the weekend and leaving with something as well? Klopp has a big job to get his team out of the ditch and focus them on the match ahead and also rebuild their confidence.

The revere fixture will be very exciting to watch.

- Jay -
from the day I watched this Atalanta team playing against Napoli in such a manner that Napoli was struggling theouout the match, I gave them 💯 respect to be honest. Those boys have the energy and the fighting spirit and you don't see a team as that and then you underate them and refuse bringing your key players into the game because you think You're the big team?

When I saw the lineup and those that where even missing in the substitute, I knew th coach was playing with second choice team with very few strong faces and then you're loosing a 0:3 home win in front of your fans? Who does that? This is a huge loss regardless of the excuses supporters would want to give and I tell you that most persons will play Liverpool to have a straight win in that match and tickets  will cut supplus cause this is just crazy

Of recent time the world economies have been having problem, from economic recession to losing of jobs, to high inflation rate in the prices of goods and services etc they are all pointers that the economies of the world are currently not in a good shape
So this lead me to be thinking about the word economy and what and what is actually responsible for an economy to grow and what are the economic stimulant
what's mostly the cause of a countries economic downtime isn't always same with another countries economic problem. Cases of war and bad leadership has been at the centre of the deteriorating economic setbacks most countries of the world are currently going through and if those can be addressed, then thier could be something close to having a seemingly stable economy globally. In countries like Russia, Ukraine, North Korea and south Korea, Israel, Pakistan, and most other African countries at war, what's mostly thier primary cause of thier economic problem is mostly due to cases of regular war that has led to the distruction of properties and institutions that will cost them not just time but utilization of her resources that's supposed to go into other infrastrural development. Most African countries have at the centre of thier bad economy, poor leadership structure and lack of proper implementation of key economic models that will help revamp the worsening economic situation that has bedevilled the region.

Gambling is not bad after all but addiction is, gambling has been receiving a lot of negative reactions and feedback but gambling also has a lot of health benefits associated with it but you can only get these benefits if you are a responsible gambler and you have total control of what you wage and limit your bankroll

These are some of the benefits to see more of its benefits you can read the whole article here

Can you add more besides what's written in this article?
            
Because of the addictive part of gambling it has gone a long way to send the wrong signal to so many and this has blinded the eyes of many from the good part involved in Gambling and the health benefits of taking some time out of our busy schedules to relieve ourself through the process of gambling.

One of the key advantage of gambling is first the fun that's associated with it and then it helps you bond well with fellow gamblers if you're the type that gamble at shops where you meet other gamblers to share your gambling journey and experience with, it helps you talk out your stress and possibly get some motivation from others. In my locality where most persons engage in sports gambling and do it in a gambling shop, the shops are where you watch all the leagues games and talk about recent happenjng in the world of sports which helps you become informed about every thing about sports which also makes you psychologically strong in sports analysis.

Congrats to all culés, this was a great match! There was much written about the game, I only want to add that I am surprised that no one mentioned Dembele's celebration, when he scored a goal against his former team, FC Barcelona. It's a shame man, he was well-treated by FC Barcelona. He spent 6 years in Barcelona, was getting injuries upon injuries but still, Xavi put trust in him, the club treated him well, fans defended him and Dembele still betrayed Barcelona.

Did he really thought that it was cool and Barcelona deserved it from him? Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7U7RUDNkyE4
this is football for crying out loud and except you've not played local football or you've not played football at all, then you won't know how excited scoring a goal is like and it will take some couple of minutes before remembering you've just scored against your formal team.

Their is no big deal out of his celebration and I guess the fans understand that he is out of the club and has to live his best life in his current club. He isn't the first person to have celebrated after scoring against his former club so let's not make a big deal outta it.

Nothing really de sup for this matter. If what you are posting requires you to use the simple and correct English, it's not out of place to do so. If you're passing a sensitive information that requires you to code it somehow, that's when using pigin can become necessary. Normally most of us de like to blend both good English and pigin for our daily conversations and na why e be like say we de do same for our local board discussion.

What we have to understand is Nigeria is not like most other countries that have a general local language that's unique and popular such that all members can use it. The pigin when some persons for this place fit speak fluently, others fit no de comfortable with am and we no go fit force them to de use wetin dem no de used to. If you can comfortably make your post with pigin in a way that's easy to comprehend, you can do it without any hesitation but if you can't, it's best to do what works well for you and do it in line with the boards rules and regulations.

What should be talking about is how to improve on the quality of our local board post and also work on ensuring that our naija newbies don't go to the English board tarnishing our local board image. To me, that's one of the serious issues we should be concerned about.

What's the interest of a government to the masses in a situation where the nation is experiencing inflations with a poor economy system and the same circle, the masses are crawling to survive but yet the government feels no remorse and yet they in time increases taxes values and utilities bills making it more frustrating and worsening the situation for the poor masses.
governance is not as easy as you think and most of the policies that might not go on well with an average person weren't made to really become disturbing as it end up becoming but the reality is that it finally happens no policies in reality can go on well with everybody in the society.

Truth is that some leaders use this general knowledge as an excuse to carry out bad plans and sometimes make things too deficult for the average populace and the hike in electric tarif is one that you can't really explain what's going on since they don't even improve on the way they bring light but you just see a dramatic increase that's just unexplainable.
150  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You will lose more if you DCA without knowledge on: April 11, 2024, 05:49:29 AM
What I have noticed with my bitcoin holding is that, I have continued to lose more, each time i try to take advantage of the price to profits, in form of DCA approach.

This outcome lead me to make further research about the best way to build profits using DCA and I find out that, is a wrong thing to do as a newbies without adequate knowledge about the volatility of the bitcoin market, and also no matter how sweet the DCA approach have been for experience bitcoin investors, DCA can still be the worst for a newbies,  so I say newbies should stay away from DCA until they have the knowledge of the risk and approach to DCA.
it's obvious you don't know what the DCA method is and you probably don't have any Bitcoin in your portfolio at all.

There is no point in time you accumulate Bitcoin using the DCA methord where you just get into profit and regardless of your level of knowledge, you don't just lose your bought Bitcoin because you used iether the DCA methord, the lump sum method or whichever methord you choose to work with. What you're actually doing is buying and holding on to your Bitcoin and if you've been doing so, it's strange to believe that you've been in loss except you're just making statement you know little or nothing about. What's mostly related to losing your funds as bitcoinner isn't buying using the DCA methord but trading your Bitcoin. Of all the people involved in the Bitcoin ecosystem, the only people that have probably become unprofitable and that had experienced some level of loss are traders and never individual that buy Bitcoin for the purpose of HODling.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has voiced regret over the region’s support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, signaling a shift in political alignment and strategy for future elections.
This is just the beginning,una Neva see something

https://www.naijanews.com/2024/04/09/we-regret-voting-tinubu-northern-elders/
if we take out sentiment from our analysis of tinibu's administration, would you score him low compared to the previous buharis administration? I doubt any person that's following up on his policies will score him low. No doubt, the man is aged and part of the main issue we had against him is that is age wouldn't allow him lead the country in line with the level of technological advancement the world has attained but from what has been the case in terms of policies he has set out to reduce subsidy and cut down on inflation, the president hasn't had a bad start yet.

Most of those members of the northern or southern elders forum have since been blinded with politics of regional interest and they've not been unbiased in thier statement for a ling time now. The administration is still fresh and it might not have achieved the expected result that will lift nigeria off this sorry state but the truth is that they've tried to a very large extent.

Valverde's goal was so cold, like ice. I could watch it on repeat forever.
Valverde has good skills for distant and one-touched shots like this one and he scored an impressive goal for Real Madrid. I am more impressed about the vision of Vinicius Junior. He took a glance and quickly made his decision to pass the ball to Valverde, not Brahim or Jude. Not many players can have good vision, calm mind and can make a good decision and turn it to an accurate assist like this.

Vinicius Junior was given a good opportunity from a key pass of Rodrygo when the match is 2 - 1 for Real Madrid. If he turns it to a goal, the match can go more easily for Real Madrid.
all the goals scored were massively incredible which brings to play the quality you have for both teams and can only make you respect them the more. When it comes to matches involving this two teams, it's just always an epic display of quality play all through. Quality passes, accurate and precised shots energy and a massive fighting and comeback spirit from both teams. Vinicious jnr has always been instrumental in almost all the goals and you can't have a dull moment when dude is on the pitch of play. With all the critics and his attitude problems, dude always deliver in his role giving back to back goals and great assist whenever he sees the slightest chance.

Big Respect to vin jnr🤗
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 10, 2024, 07:27:37 AM
Maybe it is time for Arsenal to regain their glory in the Premier League. And all of that is thanks to a talented coach like Arteta. I hope Arteta continues to be trusted there and makes extraordinary history with Arsenal. because I feel that next season Arsenal can be even better. Because as we can see, it seems like every season Arsenal continues to develop under Arteta's coaching.

Last season they came close to winning the title but fell short, and let's see if this season they will finally succeed.
That's what many football lovers will be anticipating, to see Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy at the end of this season, rather than them falling like the big elephant on top of the tree like the previous season when all hopes were placed on them to be next Premier League champions.

Arsenal team has what it takes to lift this season's Premier League title bearer. It will be appalling if what happened to them last season repeats itself this season. I just hope Arteta and his boys would love to deliver this time around

Only Arsenal fans will expect Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season, while Liverpool and Manchester City fans will also expect their teams to win it. One of the three teams in the top position currently has a good chance of winning the title, but so far I am still having difficulty choosing one of them.

Of course I still really want to see Manchester City defend the title, but maybe it doesn't make sense if Liverpool and Arsenal are both good at maintaining consistency and existence in getting maximum points. It's reasonable to expect one of Arsenal and Liverpool to win the title, that's because so far they are 1 point ahead of Manchester City. But the league isn't over yet and there's always the chance of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal swapping places at the end of the season.
while I'm a strong man city fan and obviously would want them to defend their title, it's very possible that arsenal might go on to wining the league this season. It just requires being consistent till the last game of the Season and the rest will be story. Am I underrating the possibility that the table can turn and either Manchester City or Liverpool might possibly take the lead? That's not an impossible situation but with the look of things, th table might just end in this order
1. Arsenal
2. Manchester City
3. Liverpool.

. Don't go blabbing your mouth to everyone about your Bitcoin stack.
your financial worth should necessarily be a private affairs that's only disclosed to a selected few that are primarily close enough to get access to such information. It's never about Bitcoin. Do you go around telling people how much you have in your bank account ? For me, no one has the right to get those kind of information about me except my wife and probably my kids when they are matured enough but outside of that, we keep things as as straight as possible.

The only issue is that we get a bit valnourable in the midst of those that are Bitcoin investors like us and we might get in a situation where we become too free and open to tell them the quantity of our stack because we believe they are also stacking with us. It's an area we should be mindful to know that anyone can change and become an enemy that's just after stealing of our holding.
155  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and education on: April 10, 2024, 06:19:23 AM
Money and education which one of these is advisable to achieve?
They constantly say education is the key to success but in my country today many graduates don't have a job, and most of them are still fed by their parents, and that's not the way it's supposed to be.
And again they also said money is potency and fondness. Yes, money is power even if you are not a graduate or you haven't been to college before and you have the money you can even employ a graduate to work for you.
Presently now in my wonderful fatherland NIGERIA 🇳🇬 I can see the power of money.
Please any advice?
while on the one hand, you need money for you to be able to run your life effectively, when you've have the money without education, it will make more sense to you why education is very important. The reason why most people is developing nations don't value education is basically due to the high rate of poverty and hunger that is ravaging them and before choosing a career part or deciding if a child should go through the formal educational setting or not, what's mostly at the centre of thier kind is that they want what will easily fetch them money.

If it was a situation where every graduate is automatically employed and one doesn't have to suffer to look for Jobs,oat of them will want to get educated. But you know you can't just be seeking after knowledge with an empty stomach and bunch of responsibilities on your shoulder. You've got to work and definitely if you can get a skill, you don't necessarily have to get all that educated before you earn good money. I guess the society has evolved to the stage where it's more about getting money and less about how educated one is. If you're an illiterate that's the richest in a community, people will celebrate you above a broke proff that's just known for his complex jagons.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: April 09, 2024, 09:01:50 AM
Al Hilal and Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League had an extremely exciting match that was much more bone-chilling. In this most competitive match both teams tried hard but Al Hilal team was successful, winning 2-1. Anyway, the game was very competitive between the two teams, but Al Nasir's team tried hard but could not bring the game to a consensus and they lost. And Cristiano Ronaldo's red card it really angered the audience because no one expected a player like Ronaldo to get a red card. I didn't watch the game till the end, but Ronaldo's red card in the 86th minute is difficult, otherwise maybe attacking until the last minute could have leveled the game. But Al Hilal team is in the best form in the current season, and they are strong enough to win the title, and maybe they will be champions in the coming days.


obviously, this is one of the great games in the Saudi professional league I had been wanting to watch seeing that Al hilal have had chains of back to back win for a long time now and seeing the current form of the legendary christiano Ronaldo scoring two consecutive hatrick in his recent matches, one would have expected a tough game and as thought, the game came with the anticipated drama that saw Ronaldo being sent off the pitch late into the day due to his inability to managing hia frustration in the game. This is just th beautiful thing about the game of succer, you're a big name no doubt but that's not just all that is to it, you've got to control your emotion at different state of the game and learn to give other players the respect they deserve.

CR7 isn't always good at managing his emotions when he is losing in a match and wether you like it or not, he deserve the penalty he got and the Al hilal side was obvious the stronger side to Always Nasir and the victory was well deserved.
157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 09, 2024, 08:46:49 AM
You can add these two:

When you win little, do not gamble on that day again. But some gamblers will feel like they should continue to gamble and they will lose at the end of the day.

When you are addicted. Quit gambling for a long time.
as simple as this seems, this is one of the key area most gamblers miss it all and end up loosing after their initial win. Most gamblers think that there is anything like a winning or lucky day and would want to continue gambling once they are lucky to win at a point .

Knowing when to walk away is as important as playing gambling in the first place cause it's always not certain that your next bet will be as productive as what gave the win and that's why it's very important to walk away once you've won for the day.

but actually, apart from stress, what makes someone think about ending their own life? What do you think
untill you're at a cross road where existence doesn't make any sense to, you wouldn't understand the kind of trauma individuals that commit suicide had to go through before reaching that climax when they finally make up tier minds to end it all. Life is a mystery and thier are situation we should just pray never to find ourselves inside that will  ever put any suicidal thoughts in our mind.

Mentality and belief system differs and they both play a huge role on the kind of decision we make when we are faced with a deficult situation. As a Christian, suicide is consider a sin that's punishable by eternal condemnation after death and that knowledge alone wouldn't even bring It up as an option regardless of how hard life hits us. For others, it's thier way to eternity and they can even go on to kill others alongside themselves while attempting to commit suicide and for them, thier is a huge reward that's waiting for them afterlife.

While we are so comfortable about the potentials of the decentralized digital currencies such as the Alt and the Bit coins and its centralized exchanges in the blockchains, let's also understand that the Fiats has an advantage over it that you'd have somewhere to go to and someone to hold responsible in some cases that your fund in the bank is tempered by a theft or otherwise than that of Crypto that it's transactions is operated anonymously
Everything is life is not so balanced are when you're dealing with the sweetest parts of it, we fails to consider the bitter side of it.
Most of us as at times thought about how Crypto could dominate over financial exchange for payments without considering this certain advantage of the Fiats and also considering that most persons still lives a primitive live to cope with the digitalities of advancements.
there is no point in comparing fiat to crypto. Crypto wasn't created to replace fiat and regardless of the level of adoption in the crypto space, banks and traditional institutions wont go into extinction. That being said, the disadvantage you pointed out aren't real disadvantage if you look at in the real sense.if you're considering saving your money in the bank to be better than having full control of your crypto then you're missing it out. There hard been cases when due to government regulations, banks will freeze your fiat and deny you access to it and regardless of your cries you won't get it at all. That's not possible for crypto. If you choose to you can decide not to keep your crypto in exchange and then your jeep it in offline wallet, that's even more secured and safer than keeping your money in the banks. What's the main thing here is that crypto is in improvement on the traditional banking system  that can still be operated alongside normal banks and financial institutions so thier is no point in creating an argument.

It's gotten to the point when DNA should be made compulsory at hospital at the time of birth and the price subsidized so it doesn't become a serious problem after that stage.
