161  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 25, 2024, 09:45:36 PM

Real Madrid has final declared that they will definitely taking the La Laliga trophy this season. Since they trying maintain their consistent and their position well against any of their opponents that's they where unbeatable throughout real Madrid have become a tiger in the top standing with out any challenge they always put efforts to reduce numbers of the point of their the any teams they meet, but their points is keeping increasing which is smoothly move for real Madrid.

Between Barcelona and Girona they will be a tough match and also a interesting game in that day since Girona is battle how to take over the second position from the Barcelona, and if care is not taking they can definitely accomplish their goals with improving their performance all this while in their previous matches, which is why I'm confidence on them that they bring out a good outcomes against Barcelona.

Real Madrid have shown more capacity and performance this season and with the way they are working hard to make goals and subsequently win matches, you will agree that they came well prepared for victories this season. Real Madrid are currently leading the La Liga table standing and still successful at the Champions league to play Bayern Munich in a semifinals. If care is not taking, having seen the level at which Real Madrid is pushing hard, they may likely take both the La Liga title and Champions league trophy like they did in 1955-56, 1956-57, 1957-58, 1958-59, 1959-60, 1965-66, 1997-98, 1999-2000, 2001-02 and 2013-14. It is also noteworthy to say that they are the only Spanish club that has achieved this feet, this plenty.

It please me to encourage our selves about this, the read before posting could be more easier to say than done. However, it should be most imperative to be a watch word as we are continuously navigating the forum, in as much as we are working towards perfection, mistake is what is apparently inevitable hence, don't assume it is all good, always read, check and cross check before posting.
Let us discuss about this, because majority of us including me has been a victim of this circumstances.

Well, what you just mentioned now is a valid point and it is a good practice to always crosscheck what you write before posting but how many of us truly do that? I don't think we are that many as majority may not. Some will ask, whats the essence of reading something you wrote yourself if truly you did it but there are reasons to why this is also important. Sometimes you write something and forget to add the prepositions to it or you are faced with keyboard autospelling causing a rough output to something you wrote yourself. While it is sweetsounding to read what youve written, many people like us, may not take it big deal to see.
163  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: In Nigeria those right and privilege of citizenship works on: April 25, 2024, 09:11:20 PM
It is very sad to see that human right is no longer in existence for the poor people in Nigeria, but only for the rich. When you come up to speak the truth about what a rich man is doing that is bad, or the harsh treatment that the government is giving to their citizens, you can get arrested and killed for it. This has made so many poor people to live in fear and poverty because their lives are more precious to them, and the government wants everyone to accept all that they are doing by making life more difficult for the masses so that the poor will only concentrate more on surviving rather than fighting back at them. However, this is not only happening in Nigeria but in most countries, because the government always want to control the lives of their citizens so that the citizens will always be vulnerable to them.

Sim_card, so many things are wrong in Nigeria and I find it very difficult to comprehend why things happen this way and why the country doesn't seem to make progress is so long time of the years. The irregularities backed by the elitism experienced in this country is disgusting and I will give you examples. Beforehand, you may also want to know who the elites are in the Nigerian context and they are the owners of oil wells, former presidents, governors, senators, ministers, house of reps members, ex Army generals, top public and civil servants who have siphoned public funds make up a list of the Nigerian elites. They are the only class of people who truly have voice and freedom to speech. They are those who can freely claim their rights and even infringe on other people's rights and go scout free. An example is not far-fetched from the case of the former governor of a state who have stolen billions of naira but have flaut invitations from the EFCC to come and account for his strong allegations. Another is a former governor who had a lot of charges and EFCC case on his shoulders but still went ahead to serve as the National Chairman of a party and so on. Yet, if the average citizen should commit a small crime or misdemeanor, he will be prosecuted and frustrated by the law. All sorts of Favourism, Selective discipline and judgement happens here.

There are many more examples of these cases that have been swept under the carpet when it has something to do with people at the height of the social class or the so-called elites whereas the commoners are pounced on for attempting something little off.

you are right because if you only you is one that is sponsoring your group based on your have money it is obvious that the money you have will not successfy you and they will not solve your problems your need so that is why you have to empower people that is around you in another way they can be able to earn their own personal money without depending on you so when you have done that you have liberated yourself from much expenses from other aspects money that one particular person have is a personal money.

No matter how rich you claim to be and how supportive you try to be, investing on your circle is the best way to go about sustainable living. This topic is more relevant in today's world of economic uncertainties, where you can be rich but still needs external supports or sources to thrive in the business arena. Having friends who can always stand in as a support system and assets is better than accommodating liabilities.

Although, for truth to be said, you need to have the financial or intellectual capacity to be able to invest in friends first, then, you also need reasonable friends who are interested and ready to tap into the opportunities available to them.

Of course Real Madrid are seen as the major favorites for the UCL especially after they’ve been able to defeat fellow heavyweight Man City in the quarterfinals. Many now have no option than to queue behind and throw in major support for Real Madrid to end the season with their 15th UCL trophy.

 ⁠This team is the major holder of this trophy and as such they’re well experienced in winning this trophy as compared to all other four teams and you can be so sure of them being able to win than your degree of being sure about other teams. Against Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid still have the advantage and a major advantage for them will now be the injured players for Bayern Munich.

In 2014, Bayern Munich met with the Real Madrid at the Semi-finals of the Champions league for a contest like this and during that time, lost their game to Real Madrid with Real Madrid winning a goal over Bayern at their first leg in Madrid's home and scored a whooping 4 goals over none at the second leg in the Futball Arena Muchen stadium at the home of Bayern Munich. Then, Pep Guardiola was the manager of the Bayern Munich with the composition of star players like Mandzukich, Robben, Ribery,  Muller, Boateng and Alaba and the goalkeeper, Neuer was at his best too but they were beaten home by the Madrid with a 5-0 aggregates.

In 2018, Bayern also faced Madrid in another semifinals and lost again to the Madrid after the teams ended at a 4:3 lost against Bayern Munich in the second leg with Madrid winning over Bayern at Bayern's home in a goal difference.

In 2017, it was a quarterfinal fixtures and Bayern also lost to Madrid in a 6-3 aggregates with Madrid winning at both home and away.

Today, it's Tuchel's over Ancelotti and the first leg will be at Bayern's home, when Bayern is also faced with injuries right now. The chances of Bayern winning the first leg at this point  following the history of both teams, is very slim.

Zinedine Zidane is likely to take charge of Bayern Munich next season, if Zinedine Zidane was free I think Zinedine Zidane would be the right manager for Manchester United. However, since Manchester United will not have Zinedine Zidane in the next season, Erik Ten Hag should be fired and another manager should be in charge of Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag got enough time but he failed to prove himself every time. Since this manager could not get his team any good gift except defeat even under the condition of getting enough opportunities, then Manchester United should definitely sack this manager from the club. In our discussion it is clear that Erik Ten Hag is the reason for Manchester United's poor performance but if Manchester United think differently then that is entirely up to them but in our opinion they should definitely give a new manager a try in which case the result could change.

Tuchel's intention after announcing leave the Bayern Munich is followed by his strong efforts to take the Champions league for the club, hence is efforts to push the club to the semi-finals, right now. What might seem to be more intense for Bayern Munich will be their challenge over the Real Madrid at the semi-finals which will be on 30th of the month at the Allianz stadium in Bayern's home. If I was Tuchel's, without trying to teach him his job, I would have sit back to watch the game pattern of the Real Madrid over this season, understand their strengths and weaknesses,  then train my boys to face them squarely by training them every day at the stadium to get familiar with the pitch.

Now, if Tuchel's succeeds, it will write a golden name in his history book with Bayern, and bringing in Zidane into the club will pose him with more challenge to achieve more results. But the complain about the World cup champion holder manager, Zidane, is that he doesn't speak English and the club will truly require someone who can communicate in English with the team players. Alternative, Hamman, Bayern's Ex-player, pointed at Demichelis who knows how to speak in English, has worked with Bayern's second team and the Under 19 and doing well with the Argentine's team River Plate, right now as a better option to Zidane.

I wasn't surprised with the goals scored against Chelsea, even though Palmer was in their mix Chelsea will still play the same thing. Arsenal played 27 shots, While Chelsea had 7 shots and 1 was on target. A lot of people thought that Chelsea was playing at their best form at this point because they defeated Everton with a score of 6:0. a Team that any club in the Premier League can beat. I don't think Chelsea performance will improve more than they did this season, Chelsea cannot participate in other competitions next season apart from the Premier League. Did you think Chelsea will not lose any of their remaining games? Chelsea will remain the same Chelsea we know from the beginning of the season.

Even at that, we were not expecting the freaking 5 goals over none from Chelsea, that has in fact, reduced my respect over the last game they played against Arsenal yesterday. Every player of the Chelsea club looked redundant yesterday and could not perform with coordinated efforts and lacked precision. Arsenal on the other hand, capitalized on all of the mistakes a poor decisions made by the Chelsea squads to lash them with the 5 goals of yesterday.

Quote
Arsenal's performance is strong enough to maintain the top of the league, despite that, a lot of people thought they were having challenges to win their games and we were getting it wrong, this is not the same Arsenal we knew last season, we have seen many changes in their games. We may end up surprised if Arsenal wins the League this season.

Kudos to Arteta for training his squads to be this fierce and meticulous in winning games. At this time of the season, when everything matters in the count of the position of table standing, delivery a 5 whooping goals to secure their first position in the table standing with 77 points and 3 points ahead of Liverpool
169  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The underrating of Local made products. on: April 23, 2024, 09:59:06 PM
For me I think that is far from it, they are not putting those logo of foreign companies just for profit sake but if the purpose too extends to it at the end of it they are still okay with it. The purpose na because of patronage. Dem sabi say naija people no dey like buy Nigerian products but foreign so dem go do those products and put same logo so that person go see and think say na same foreign product. But you go still know say no be original from even the logo wey dem no put well, some logo are hafhardzardly fixed, foreign logo is usually well customised. Moreover, the prices too no dey be the same thing. So if government support dem in the investment and patronage regulations dem go do well.

Well, it all depends oo. If na those Aba made wey people dey do come dey fix those logos on top by pirating the copy of the original ones for Nigerians, I go talk say that one na purely for people to patronize them, because of the way wey Nigerians they fascinating about using those kinds of products for their lifestyles and big man things.

But, that no mean say na only pirating we sabi, them get companies wey dey into franchising too and them dey franchise for the sake of the reputation wey those big brands don already create for world. And in every franchising, you go dey remit something give the franchisors wey get the original business and products and them too go monitor the standard of the productions or products wey you dey sell in their name since realistically, them no fit open all those branch across the world themselves. In this regard, you no fit see fault for inside the business wey d person dey do.
170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the number of new investors reduce? on: April 23, 2024, 07:02:43 PM
The halving was a major event that attracted many new investors to bitcoins, some started investing seriously some months to the halving just so to make some profit from it.The halving was what attracted them, but now that the halving has come and gone, do you think that the number of new investors will reduce for the now until the next halving is close again?

For people like me, I am not so worried about the trend of the moment, rather than investing for the future. Rushing into investing in Bitcoin for the sake of halving might not be the best way to go about investments in Bitcoin even though it might not necessarily mean a failure, however it is always best advised to invest at a convenient time, whether halving or not so that you don't lumpsum and become disappointed expecting some humongous figures as a return. My opinion and decision about bitcoin investment is convenience and knowledge. Knowledge in the sense that, one needs to understand the prosperity of the market and uptrend and downtrend of the market and Convenience in the sense that, you invest gradually through the DCA approach with the amount you can afford,  and allow it to grow steady while we learn from the process
171  Economy / Economics / Re: Food shortages coming to the United Kingdom, BUT - on: April 23, 2024, 06:53:33 PM
- There's a possbility that it's merely manufactured.

Quote

The UK is facing a manufactured fake food shortage. The government has been at war with it's farmers for many years, forcing them to close with insane new regulations.

It is not "climate change" related. It is 100% government inflicted if there is any food shortage.

https://twitter.com/fxhedgers/status/1782222163774234880




This sort of situation is inflationary, and if inflation doesn't go down, then something will need to break for it to be forced to go down. That indicates a recession, OR if there's too much money in circulation it's going to be worse. Stagflation.

The part that amazes me the most is to hear that the UK is facing food shortages due to the climate change. Whilst that can affect the productivity and fertility of the soil for maximum production, haven't the government made enough arrangements for the present predicaments. What is the essence of the forecasting that the government is doing ahead of the time.

Let's recall how the story of prophet Joseph (Yusuf), (for the sake of history), have helped a lot of governments plan ahead of situations like this, so that they can bring succor to the people when their faced with the food shortages in a nation. How prophet Yusuf (Joseph) interpreted the dream of the Pharoah of Egypt with solutions, at that period when the Pharoah dreamt about 7 years of abundant harvest and 7 years of food shortages and the prophet provided solutions towards the scarcity by advising the government to store their massive yields of foods against the drought season.

For leading countries like UK, I believe the lack of food which has caused about the recent hike and rise in the commodity market, should be more of a government wrong decision than just the exteme weather influenced by the said climate change.

Bellingham again stole the attention, thanks to his goal in the added minute of stoppage time which ensured Madrid secured full points. Now Bellingham has collected 17 goals in La Liga, only 1 goal behind Artem Dovbyk who currently has 18 goals, the competition for top scorer will also become more interesting in the future. I think Bellingham is one of Madrid best signings in the last few seasons.

Next, Ancelotti fleet can prepare well to face Bayern, although before that they have to play another match against Sociedad, but Ancelotti can take it easy. Madrid ambition to win the La Liga and Champions League trophies is almost a reality, it is very likely that they will succeed in achieving it.

Yesterday,  I was having a decent conversation with a friend regarding the performance of Bellingham in the Real Madrid and he claimed Bellingham to be a lucky midfielder, whereas I personally don't have the same perception about him. In fact I see him as one of the most performing midfielders in La Liga with his strong ability to distribute to the forward and sometimes do the work of a striker.

This season, Bellingham has scored great goals including the last game against Barcelona and also scored two goals in the first leg. So, I don want to just count him lucky but hardworking

As it stands now, Arsenal lead the Premier League table with hip difference because Manchester City have an outstanding match; if Manchester lose any match, they might not win the league because I don’t think Arsenal will lose any match among their remaining matches even though they will ply Chelsea and Tottenham.

Your prediction is a great one, only that with the trend of performance currently heralds, I don't think Tottenham Spurs will be much of a threat to Arsenal, and for the sake of history and the antecedents of Chelsea, one will see the contest between the Chelsea and Arsenal as a tough one, else Arsenal's present performance suggests a win for their subsequent fixturings including that of Chelsea and Tottenham

History answers many questions for us today and also the ideals we hope for in the future. A country's prosperity allows it to continue to pursue other goals, but in reality they cannot maintain their position forever, powerful empires will also fall into degenerative cycles in their politics the prosperity they built, the collapse and the emergence of new nations capable of leading. Looking at the current social context, the US and China have full potential to dominate the things they want to control, but of course there will come a time in the future when harmony is broken, so will they will not be able to maintain and will destroy each other.

Because of the fact that all nations have their national interests and try as much as possible to protect it, no two nations will be truly be united together, at least not when their national interests will be at stake. Even the USA and the United Kingdom cannot be on a common side at all the time and we always align and realign when and where their interests are well guarded.

In the same vain, it is good to note that no nation can be a king to the kingdom of other nations because every nation have what they strongly lack and what they have as an advantage. Due to this, nations go ahead to tap from others when they are looking to augment their weaknesses and in some case, it becomes a predator and a prey situation which then bring about a tilt in the interests of nations for or against their counterparts.

Bayern Leverkusen did something extraordinary in the Bundesliga, they ended Bayern Munich's dominance that had lasted almost a decade, so I have only applause for them. But in Europe the matter changes and it is not always the best team that can win, but only those who believe in winning the most. Whoever is to lift the cup will mean that they have deserved it.

Today's game against West Ham was a draw with Jeremie Frimpong scoring a goal for Bayer Leverkusen and Antonio scoring for West Ham however, Bayer had already cut their prize off the cake with the 3 over 1 aggregate at the end of this second leg pushing Leverkusen higher up the league. One must learn to truly appreciate the efforts of Xabi Alonso over his sportsmanship and coordination of the team players. The guys at Leverkusen have got 4 clean sheets With average of 0.4 per match, zero Red cards , 14 yellow cards but 27 goals with the average of 2.7 goals measured per match

Arsenal game vs Wolves have ended in a 2:0 in favour of Arsenal,who played a massive defence and a massive attack game against Wolves.Wolves were very good at this game,but they couldn't break through Arsenal's defence to get a goal.Odegard's late goals sealed it for the gunners who are now on top of the league with one point ahead of City who haven't played their premier league game yet because they played a semi final with Chelsea today,winning 1:0 to qualify to the final of the tournament.

Arsenal have played their 33th match today which was a fixture against Wolves and scored two goals ahead of Wolves on an away match. This match tonight has pushed Arsenal to the number one position of the table standing of the Premier league which is a big deal. Nevertheless, Manchester City who are currently at the second position with just a point below Arsenal have a fixturing with Brighton soon which seems to be a clean shit for Manchester City.

Liverpool on the other hand also have A match ahead with 32 matches and the same will be applicable with Manchester City too. By the time both clubs played their next games , one will be able to know the clear Direction of who remains at The top of the table.
177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 20, 2024, 08:52:43 PM
Now all possibilities can still happen because after all, with the current situation of Madrid and Bayern in terms of players they are not much different even in terms of attack Bayern could be a little better because their style of play is the same as Manchester City but on the other hand Madrid is still Madrid with a mentality that cannot be underestimated because indeed until now Madrid is one of the clubs with the strongest mentality because of the experience they have.

Quite true but it will be interesting to watch Bayern Munich win over Real Madrid in the Tuesday match fixturing as that will be the most difficult thing to happen. However Bayern Munich will forever be grateful for their decisiveness if they eventually win over Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions league.

Right now, for Bayern Munich to win over Real Madrid can be easily compared to Dortmund winning over PSG and if such cases should occur for both clubs it will be one of the greatest dual victories both clubs will experience this season and that will be converted to Bayern Munich facing Dortmund at the finals of this season.

La Liga is already been won by Real Madrid this season, he'd making alot of tremendous records. Barcelona is never on the phase of Real Madrid this season, there's huge difference when comparable to their team's stats and points earned this season. Real Madrid have proven to be the only surviving Spanish team in the UEFA Champions League this season, always contesting in major competition and they're fierce in performance. Carlo Ancelotti totally understands the future of his young team and he makes ends meet with the current squad.

I wonder how LaLiga will be played without clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, it won't be as interesting as it is currently and will be more uninteresting than it will be with them. But, aside from of the aforementioned, LaLiga needs more emerging clubs like the efforts Atletico Madrid have been putting in to the club all these years and the emergence of clubs like the Girona who are also investing a lot of time and commitments to work for their victory at the table standing

Yes, it is great opportunity for Manchester city to focus more on FA and premier league, when Manchester city was still in champion league competition they hardly use their full squad but now, I believe they will like to use their full squad now. As Manchester city is out of champions league they will like to win premier league trophy and FA.


Not Manchester City alone is as opportune but also Arsenal and Liverpool because they are all finally out of the Champions league which had kept them occupied all this while. I will always choose Arsenal over Liverpool and Manchester City because they have some of my favorite players in the Premier league.

In Arsenal, coolest guys are Bukayo Saka, Trossard, Martinelli and Jesus Gabriel. I want all of them to be allowed to play on their subsequent matches so they can continue to make us proud of their wonderful performances individually and as a team.

Madrid will not like to lose against Barcelona this weekend because they don't want the point to be closer because the season is not finished and anything can happen, and they won't try to make any mistakes thematic that can cause them to lose or draw against Barcelona this weekend. I believe with Ancelotti he won't mess up in the game, but I notice some of Real Madrid's players are tired since the match against Manchester City, and I think Ancelotti will beach some of his key players. But Ancelotti needs to put some squad to prevent losses because as I see Barcelona, they are unhappy since PSG eliminated them in the Champions League they will like to revenge against madrid this weekend, but he won't be and easy task for them.

With the kind of spirit that Real Madrid is currently harboring I dont think any club out there can easily defeat them including Barcelona right now because the last win against Manchester City have gracefully strengthen them to be more fierce and their level of delivery.

All Real Madrid needs to do now is to put in same energy or something little more than they had in the last match and I can guarantee that they will win this El Classico. I dont think Barcelona will be as strong in terms of performance like Manchester City did in the last match at the Champions league quarterfinals
