For every Oct 1, I dey always vex becos e dey always remind me say dis our leaders dey really waste the efforts of our heroes past. I know say to bring about change nah collective effort but then, them no dey help matas. How can you keep piling up debts just so you'd line your pockets and be on the next flight to abroad and deceive yourself that you're repping your contri on a talk or meeting when yo house is on fire?
 The way I see am, naija no sopoz dey celebrate independence day because I no see wetin we dey independent from? Lies? Corruption, nepotism, insecurity to name a few? See eh, we no sopoz dey complain about the shortcomings of Naija because of a truth, the contri is blessed and even though e no dey as developed as China or the States, at least we no dey suffer earthquake and heavy natural disasters as them but still, on a daily I dey lose hope say this country fit dey free from corruption.
Chairman you don't have to be angry you know because this country na only to dey atleast count the positive out of all the whole nonsense and rubbish wey person don see for the nation. Because if you wan rely on the bad side of the nation then problem go full your mind and thats why having a positive mindset is the way forward and plus the fact say na all of us nai need put hand carry this country go forward because if we all comot body den the thing go just worse more and more.

Nigeria that has been known to be the giant of Africa with enough mineral resources name them, Nigeria have all it takes to become a great nation were countries in the world would be wishing to live but it was quite unfortunate that our leader has there own plans and agenda on how they can mode the country money to there pocket were as the masses are suffering from abject poverty feeding from hand to mouth, the cost of living is very high, somethin we can easily buy with small amount before is now very difficult to get again, I don't really no the way forward for this country because if the circle of leaders continues the suffering will always continue onless God intervention.
The matter with this country be say na all of us be the problem because everyone in Nigeria has let that foul spirit cover them that has to do with corruption. The leader of this country are a major cause yes but the citizens of the country too are a big contributor to this act. Well like you said only God can help us and we all pray that a saviour comes to rid the plague that is in this country.

If Chelsea wants to qualify for the Champions League next season Pochettino's focus should be much greater on the Premier League because this route is one way for them to play in the Champions League. Of course, it is not an easy matter to finish in the top four of the standings because there are many other clubs that appear much more consistent than Chelsea at the moment. This victory was the start of a comeback for Chelsea and if Pochettino can make better use of this, it can certainly bring them back to getting positive results in every match.

The problem is, I'm not sure Pochettino is capable of bringing Chelsea through to the Champions League next season. The team's performance is still poor and they always find it difficult to win game after game, so of course there are big doubts about Chelsea's chances of getting to the Champions League next season.

I certainly can't say for sure what will happen to Chelsea throughout this season, but Pochettino basically has a big challenge to build on the quality and mentality of the team that is currently missing. Chelsea is like a team that has lost its identity, but I hope Pochettino can improve it defensively if he gets the full trust of management.
The thing is that the owner of Chelsea will just have to give him the benefit of doubt because Chelsea as a whole was already scattered during the end of their last season performance so it's still a building phase for pochettino and although the club is having it hard to win game but their is still potential in the gameplay so given him time to balance up the whole squad.

After suffering a defeat in the League Cup, Mnchester City will travel to Wolves headquarters for a week 7 match. In the English premier league, they are the only club that has managed to wipe out all the wins, with the opponents they will face at this time, their chances of continuing the winning streak in the Premier League are wide open. Wolves fc themselves are in a state of experiencing a series of negative results, and the 6 matches they have played they can only collect 4 points from 1 win and 1 draw, while 4 other matches ended in defeat.

Fulham vs Chelsea, will be a different story, to be honest I am skeptical of Chelsea and I don't know what Chelsea will be able to do in this match. Fulham will be the hosts, and that is an advantage for them in this match.
Manchester city after suffering that league loss will no doubt not have it easy against wolves because they are going to try to be in form and back to winning ways which am well assured they will do so against wolves. Like you have already stated this wolves team are in no position whatsoever to actually get a victory but it's soccer you can never be too sure on anything.

There are still some people that are completely ignoring these simple instructions, and I don't know why they want to do just that, but it's an unfortunate thing that they exist and are still doing these to 'take advantage' of offers that are being given to them. Being greedy sometimes puts you into a lot of bad situations that could have been avoided, but due to greediness, you choose not to.

Regarding that specific situation you have mentioned, who is mostly the one to blame?

Shitty gambling sites or those Users?

The never-ending cycle of situations being scammed won't be stopped as long as there are users who still stay on being ignorant on the web. Being a newbie is not a reason after all since it's already common thinking that before we throw money into something, we should research first the overall identity and information of that said site. I can't believe there are users who are easily preyed on such obvious scam site because they didn't do their part of doing research.
Yeah you would be surprised as how naive many gamblers still are to these scams and just like what you said ignorant is the major cause of all these error and some of these gamblers aren't actually the so called newbie most of them just get trapped by their greed and then it leads them to be victims of such situations. I Know the rate of gambling site that are scams are much but it doesn't kill anyone to actually make a little research as to what they actually want to involved their money on.
1646  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why most people for naija believe say Bitcoin na scam? on: September 28, 2023, 10:33:14 PM
Well I think it's because of the way people are always scamming in the country and most of the time it's related to use of bitcoin as a means and that's why many people are deceive into the mentality that bitcoin is actually scam and most time this is because of the short view that these people actually have. Well I don't blame anyone who actually has the thought but one thing is certain that if they only have the opportunity to see it from a different angle their view will be changed.

This is the fact, even Chelsea since the beginning of the season has been having good ball possession and lots of chances to score But thank God they where able to get a clean sheet and a win.
Of course it's true, Chelsea have dominated possession in almost all the games they've played so far, except today in the win against Brighton. On average, Chelsea has 65% or 66% possession in their last 8 matches, but Pochettino still failed to win many matches. I think this is one of the pluses for Pochettino that many people have overlooked, but it's useless because the result of the match is much more important than a high percentage of ball possession.
Chelsea actually needed this win because they have been on the edge with the recent losses that they have inquired and this is just the little break that they actually needed. to say the truth I never actually expected them to win this game because Brighton isn't a team to mess with and they have been on a very good performance until yesterday when Chelsea totally dominated them and I think Chelsea did a good job as they even scored twice but one was declared offside.

Roma is in control of the game, but they conceded an early goal in the fifth minutes before they Cristante leveled the score in the 22nd minutes; I think Roma need to improve their style of play in order to win this match because Genoa is playing at home and will try see if they get some points in this match after suffering defeat away from in the last League match against Lecce.

AS Roma fell apart and it was an indescribable performance and total humiliation as Genoa thrash Roma with 4 goals to 1. AS roma started well and git an equalizer through Cristante; after which they conceded 4 unreplied goals!!! The loss means AS Roma are battling relegation crisis at the early stage of the season.

Genoa 4-1 AS Roma
A very disappointing scoreline for me, I never taught that they could lose so greatly because my bet has was destroyed by this Roma team. I don't know why but I feel Genoa has become a thorn in the flesh of  the big boys in seria A because they almost did same thing to Napoli. I didn't almost expect this amount of goals to be scored and I didn't actually see the game but I am certain that they really underperformed.

Among young people is a result of the availability of gambling alternatives, such as sports betting and online gambling. Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses
I think this effect is not only limited to young person but also to all grade and type of humans but I will agree that the young are the really exposed ones as their mind are subtle and can be easily influenced and this affects them easily but a fair of the same illness goes for everyone and that's why gambling need to be followed with care and not with rush because you never can tell the effect until it's becomes an impossible task to solve.

It seems you also imagine that if I bet large amounts it would definitely be more fun, as they say. And that's gambling, there must be a feeling of dissatisfaction if you win a small amount, and I hope you are not like that because I am like that, sometimes there is regret when making small bets even though luck is on my side.
I also gamble for fun which I do in my free time after busy work, especially on weekends, and I only bet small amounts sometimes getting lucky although I am haunted by regret for not betting large amounts but that is only momentary.

Congratulations to the OP, and whatever amount you win, enjoy it.
Hey what's a man gotta do, no one will tell me they won't actually have that thought of little regret knowing how big the outcome might be if only you actually stake the game with some kind of huge amount but what has happened has happened and the best to do now is to even be fucking greatful that the game actually even played because the risk is big as we all can see clearly.
1651  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Having the knowledge of bitcoin without having bitcoin is a waste on: September 27, 2023, 10:40:33 PM
No knowledge is a waste. If you have the knowledge about bitcoins but do not yet have the money to buy bitcoins, it is still not a waste. If you cannot buy bitcoins today, you will be able to buy tomorrow, what is required is patience and planning. When you have knowledge about bitcoins, you will be able to properly keep your investment in it safe when you finally have the money to invest in it. The knowledge you have gathered even before you were able to get your bitcoins will be important in safeguarding what you have gotten.

I agree. Knowledge is the ultimate currency. Even mightier than Bitcoin. But unfortunately some people do not have the compatible "wallet" to store that kind of "currency". And that is why a lot of these double digit IQ'er prefer fiat over Bitcoin and sooner or later will regret it. In other words some people are not invested in Bitcoin already due to a lack of knowledge rather than imaginary shortcoming of Bitcoin itself. And those kinds of people are currently sitting on their in perpetually in value decreasing fiat money. But eventually everyone no matter how slow, will find a way to Bitcoin.
I understand your point but I think the reason for this is also attributed to the fact that they are just ignorant and don't want to involved themselves in something they are not familiar with but how do you know something when you haven't actually tried it out. Most human actually have this mentality in almost every field of their life not only with the case of buying and holding bitcoin. But just what to point out a fact here when it comes to fiat, it actually still important because bitcoin actually can do well without fiat since it's still the major source of money through out.

So sometimes don't think just flex it and let luck do it part friends.
Your lucky day, everyday does not go the same for gambling, on some days when you decide to flex it and play without much thinking about the outcome, you will fail woefully and loose all your money in the process, on the other days, your freestyle predictions may go together with what will happen. The habit of now gambling without even trying to reason out if your choices are right is not what you are asked practice. Your mindset when playing is what you are asked focus on having fun while you gamble, than just to win.
Lucky day indeed, well as a gambler I know this and that's why you don't let your winnings get to you because thats the start of a very big error and it could lead you to losing alot if you are not careful. When it comes to gambling I just go with any amount I feel won't be affective to me.

Quote
You used $0.2 to win over $21. That is huge. But do not think that you will have this type of luck if you use high amount of money. Do not be tempted to use high amount of money next time. I remember when I gambled in the past and I won high odd, what came to my mind was that I can try it with high amount of money and I continued to lose.
Temptation is something I have learnt to resist because I have evolved overtime because of much experience I have gotten in the past as a gambler. Most of my games are parley and I know this is actually the hardest type of bet but I don't gamble with serious intentions I just flex it and feel maybe luck will shine on me .

Hello mates,

Gambling is an habit that is taken very seriously by some gambler here in my country and not only mine if I can sure because the wanting nature to actually win is what keeps them driving and continue with the act despite having major losses, for some gambler stories of people winning is what keeps them afloat and makes them feel they too can do.

The sad truth about this whole gambling stuff for me well I don't know for other but with the little experience I have gotten is that no one can be too certain and can be too safe or cautious when it comes to gambling and this is proven here in a betslip I won recently that just got me thinking of how i never even intended to forecast the odds or whatsoever, I just actually just FLEXED IT and the game came through for me which was fun because I played it for fun.

So sometimes don't think just flex it and let luck do it part friends.

In the end, Reims won away from home with 2 goals to 1. Lille conceded at home and also fell to a defeat at home to Reims. It was a dominating performance from Reims who moved up to 5th place after the victory; while lille could only fight back and draw a goal back in the 79th minute. Deserved win for Reims.
Reims won early in the first half of the match with a two-goal lead since the match had barely started, while the home team Lille was only able to get one goal back in the second half even though their dominance and level of ball possession was slightly better than the visiting team. But the home team was unable to equalize until the end of the match so Lille had to accept defeat at home to Reims and I think this was very detrimental for Lille.

No wonder because anyway, I also said before that Reims is not a weak team for Lille. Because from the head to head record too, basically Lille does not have good dominance when playing against Reims. Moreover, previously Lille and Reims only had a gap of one point and that way, of course their quality at this moment is also not much different. So yes, that is how Reims managed to win this match and managed to improve with an additional three points and now Reims has ten points from the six matches it has played.

Reims accepted Lille's superiority throughout the match. When Reims scored 2 goals in the first 15 minutes, they easily completed the rest of the match. I look at the statistics of the match and Reims had only 30% possession. Lille was ineffective in attack. If they had been a little lucky, they could have won against Reims.
After seeing the game I think Lille not being lucky wasn't the problem I think it was Reims actually being good at absorbing pressure that was the major issue because they know if they come out and play probably Lille might draw or even possibly winning the game so defence was a good choice and effective option that paid off for them.

Napoli as a whole are just ungrateful and is bad to do this to someone who spent every single strength he have left to make sure he plays out his best not just for him to be the best but to remove that shame from the faces of Napoli fans by helping them to win that title last season. And with all these happening I believe that Napoli will struggle to get to that height they were last season. No amount of apology will remove this mockery from the Nigerian striker. After apologizing they still went as far as to humiliate him publicly. I always wanted him to make a move after winning the title with Napoli but he thought staying would show how loyal he is to the club.
Well this goes to show that the guy has overstayed his welcome at Napoli, don't you think? I just feel he should have left last season after helping them win the Italian league but I guess he felt he'd be regarded as king after his efforts. First it was him being called out for being rude in his actions when his time to be subbed came. Now, he's being trolled on X. This sort of thing should not be surprising as others before him have received such racist behavior and recently we heard of the one that Vini Jr suffered at Real Madrid.
 I feel Victor Osimhen should leave the club if he still wants to retain his dignity and mental health because if this could affect his football, more hate comments will be thrown his way and his playing pattern will reduce and his value will not only drop, he'd be lucky to have big clubs coming for him.
Well, Napoli management should have been able to release Osimhen in the transfer market yesterday and of course at that time the bargaining price was still quite high. Now the situation between him and the club is not good and will certainly have an impact on the team's performance. Now if the club takes action or gives him a penalty it will only make matters worse and Osimhen will definitely no longer feel comfortable at Napoli. Now Osimhen must have the courage to take a stand and ask the club to sell him immediately and it will be very painful if he chooses to stay.

I think Osimhen needs to leave the team and it looks like it will happen in January. I think Real Madrid should add him to their squad during the January transfer window. Because the team that most urgently needs such a striker in Europe is Real. If they get Osimhen, they will have great power.
It would be nice to see the likes of one of the best forward now in the game of football join the sparkling Madrid team filled with lots of promising young talent. Napoli don't know what they have because osimhen was part of the players that contributed Greatly to Napoli winning the serie A with such great advantage even before the league ended and if they lose such a player it will definitely be a loss for the team and not the player because osimhen had already set his standard to be one of the best currently now.

Both teams are in good shape at the moment, and this season Liverpool has become better than ever, and they have a winning record until week 6, yes they can record 5 wins from 6 matches. Tottenham are also the same, only the difference is they drew in their last match against Arsenal. In my opinion, the chance for the two clubs to end the match with a draw score is very large, and maybe it will really happen.
Another advantage of Tottenham is that they will play with home status, and they certainly don't want to be humiliated in front of their own supporters.
Tottenham and Liverpool  will play soon. These team's players are in form. But Liverpool has historical advantage.Tottenham against Arsenal, played very well and took important points. Both teams played well in last six matches, and  displayed good impression on fans. 15 -15 was a good goals. Liverpool may be favouritr for bookmakers. Competition is strong between these two teams. Tottenham is ready for the season.

With the way Liverpool team is playing now, to be sincere I don't know if any team can actually stand a chance against this team except for the likes of Manchester city which is turning out to be an exceptional team in the premier League. Last season performance by Jorgen klopp and his boys was much disappointing and they have turned to correct that now because this season is certainly on a different level and not only will the bookmarkers favour Liverpool it's clear that they also have the upper hand in the game.

While watching TV with my kid, I've watched various advertisements of gambling nature (let's say for example, Rummy123, RummyCircle, A23 Rummy, etc.)
These are all specifically Indian ads, but I'm sure you may have seen various gambling advertisements, some banners at boundaries when cricket is ongoing, even in any other sport. How would a kid ignore those things, they might just come and ask you about what is it. Till when can we lie to them? Don't you think that the frequency of such ads must be less in order to let the kids not get trapped into gambling and don't do it at such a small age?
Well that would be very effective in a country like mine because the rate at which gambling and gambling sites are being advertised is just too much and this is totally causing this particular effect that you are talking that is influencing the mind of children to gamble at a very tender age. In my country gambling is the like a daily work or job for the common man Because of the ratio of hardship and struggle and everyone is just hoping that they would get that one lucky chance to escape from their struggles in lifem

Unexpected performance from Mallorca scoring two goals. The first goal have come on the 8th minute of the match from Muriqi and this added pressure on Barcelona. After hard fight goal came for Barcelona at the 41st minute from Raphinha. This boosted the performance of the team, but Mallorca didn't delay for the next goal. During the additional time goal came for Mallorca from Abdon and once again the score leads 2-1. In the second half with much effort Barcelona's Lopez made the team's second goal in the 75th minute.

Finally they were able to level the match, which itself a big relaxation as Mallorca stands on the 15th position on points table and Barcelona at the 1st position.
It was indeed a suprise for people and most especially for folks who actually predicted Barcelona to have a straight win. Mallorca ready played well but their resistance was not enough plus the fact that Barcelona are currently big time goal scorer which is lewandoski. Barcelona are in really good form and they have been scoring lots of goals which is very unlikely of the same Barcelona team i knew because the goal ration has increased by Barcelona.
