There is absolutely no excuses for Pep and City, i think if they lose any game in the EPL right now, it would give Arsenal an unassailable lead at the summit of the EPL table. The good thing about Arsenal's lead at the summit is that they can afford to lose one or two games and still remain where they are, but every game for City from now going forward is a must win.

Having said that, Pep's boys already beat Spurs 4-2 about a week or so ago, they had to wrestle back to get all three points after trailing by 2 goals to nil; i am pretty sure Pep wouldn't want his team to concede cheap goals like they did in the first leg, thus i think City might win this game pretty easily, in the same weekend Arsenal play a relegation threatened Everton, definitely City know they have to win because Arsenal will most likely win.

Well, the thing is that everyone would wish to outrightly have their own house, or maybe even houses and still be able to comfortably cover every other expense they have, but i'm afraid only the rich can actually afford that luxury. I feel between rent and purchase depends on the individual, their income and their area of residence, if you have a steady/stable source of income, then you could buy a house through paying the mortgage on it in installments, it is going to take quite a long time to pay up, but you eventually will if you manage to keep that steady source of income coming.

Having said that, i don't think there is anything wrong in renting a house, if you get a suitable location whilst considering proximity to your workplace, then you can go on and continue paying rent. I basically believe that before one should consider taking a loan to buy a house, or paying a mortgage on a house, they must have drawn out a long term plan as well as analysed their long term income and mobility, but rent on the other hand somewhat affords flexibility and ease of relocation.

Whilst it is quite a good signing for Spurs and i expect Danjuma to bolster Spurs' attack, i don't expect to see too many changes for good at the club, they are definitely certain of winning nothing, and their target right now would basically be to secure a top four spot, and there is quite a lot of competition for top four this season, i think they prolly signed Danjuma to provide more attacking options for them so they wouldn't miss out on CL football.

Having said that, i think their problem stems from the manager, Conte; i don't think the club should renew his contract once it expires, his tactics and philosophies seems to limit Spurs' attacking players, and more often than not they have more business with defense than attack, Spurs need a new manager, an attacking minded one that can make good use of the quality players at their disposal.

Well, talk about a hijack, Everton already had an agreement with Arnaut Danjuma, IIRC the player had already undergone his medicals with the Merseyside club and the contract was almost signed; but in a surprising turn of events Spurs have come out from nowhere and completely snatched the player out of Everton's grasp. I don't blame Danjuma anyway, Everton look like a confused club right now, one that's unstable and would prolly be relegated, Lampard has been sacked but that is not the solution to their problems, the fans want the owners to sell the club, which they have refused; all of these issues might prove to be a bad enviroment for Danjuma's progress, thus Spurs might be a better option for the player.

I think the main thing wey they cause duplicate topics na im be say most of these users wey they create duplicate topics no too they active for the Nigerian local board, wetin i mean be say them no they too read and comment in other posts created by other Nigerian users, if them they do like that them go notice say person don create the post wey they wan make, but when a user go just enter the board without reading anything wey others don post in the last weeks/days/months, come they make their own new post, chances they high say them go create duplicate post.

Having said that, no specific way we fit take stop am, but this your thread go help sha to draw awareness say duplicate post no they allowed here, reporting duplicate posts is another way to go about it. People here should also try to they read and engage in the posts wey other users don start, no be must say you must create your new post. If you see new post wey person create, and na duplicate post, abeg drop the link to the original post, and ask them to lock their duplicate post to avoid spam. This is all we fit do to help the matter at this time.

Well if we are to look at it based on currenct form then Arsenal are definitely going to blow Everton away, but if i've learnt anything from watching the EPL for many years now, it is that it is always difficult to play a team fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table, especially when they have just sacked their manager. I'm not saying that Everton are going to win this game, but we shouldn't all be surprised if we witness something quite different from what we all are expecting.

Having said that, Everton are in a pretty bad shape to say the least, if they want to survive relegation this season, then they have to start winning games, and it has to start from their next game which happens to be an uphill task.

Lol, were you still doubting them, i know there were quite a lot of doubters grumbling when Arsenal started this brilliant run that has seen them stay at the summit of the EPL table for quite a long while now, most people said we should only give them some time and they wouldn't even be in the title race, but after 19 games Arteta and his boys are still sitting pretty at the summit of the EPL table.

Having said that, i for one never doubted them this season after they got into gear, or even if i did it was only for a short time, and that goes for many people like yourself, they too have stopped doubting Arsenal's title credentials; but one thing i'd never rule out is the ability of Manchester City to fight back and close up the gap, but for that to happen Arsenal have to be somewhat complacent, whilst City gets into gear, it is difficult, but it remains a possibility.

Mind you that quite rightly some wallets are safer and better than others, but every wallet can be hacked, it all depends on how the user uses it, if one is quite knowledgeable with the right wallet, then their funds are safe, but the thing is that every crypto user has a responsibilty to protect their funds, notwithstanding the wallet they use. Thus because you saw someone who lost their funds through their hardware wallet being hacked doesn't mean hardware wallets aren't safe.
No
A custodial wallet is one that the user doesn't have the keys/seed phrase to, an exchange wallet is an example of a custodial wallet, whilst a non custodial wallet is one that the user is in control of, and has the keys/seed phrase to, electrum is an example of non custodial wallet. Remember the important axiom of: not your keys, not your coins.

Well, it is somewhat certain that Declan Rice is going to leave West Ham next summer, but i don't think Chelsea are going to sign him, even if they want to/should (because Kante is prolly leaving), i think Chelsea aren't going to sign him because of the amount of money they have spent on players in this January winter transfer window, they surely can't go on another spending spree in the summer, that would definitely get them into FFP trouble, and as we know it Declan Rise could cost nearly 100 million pounds, so that is quite a lot of money.

Having said that, between Arsenal and Manchester United, i think the Englishman might favor Arsenal, they are more of a stable club than Manchester United right now, and if Arsenal go on and win the EPL it becomes a whole lot easier for them to allure Rise and players of similar and better quality.

Arsenal are halfway there, it is not possible to be EPL champion in January, meaning there are still loads of games left to play, but whilst talking about the just concluded first half of the season, Arsenal have undoubtedly been the best side, the most consistent and less likely to drop points; atm they already look like champions.

Having said that, we know City won't give up the chase, but Pep's side have to improve immensely, or else Arsenal are going to run away with the title, i'm pretty sure quite a lot of people would have thought that with Liverpool struggling so bad, City were going to win the title unchallenged, but Arteta had other ideas, and he has now built a team that can go toe to toe with City, which is absolutely great for the league.

Lol, World War lll OP mentioned at the end of this topic wasn't at least a physical one, it is more of an economical battle were one country tries to weaken the other and establish their economy as the world's most dominant one. But even a physical world war in the future isn't something we can completely rule out, but it is the last thing i will wish for.
These countries are buying gold because they are looking for what is a stable asset/currency, Bitcoin is very volatile and risky, as long as it is this volatile i don't think any country is going to ever make it their reserve asset/currency.

Everton aren't in 15th position, they are in 19 position (with 15 points). Everton as a football club has a real problem on their hands, one that transcends beyond what we see on the football field, but right into the hierarchy at the club, and if this problem isn't addressed from where it stems from, a change of manager would have little or no impact.

Having said that, they have changed quite a lot of managers in recent years, yet they were almost relegated last season, but somehow managed to stay in the EPL through winning a couple of their final games, i didn't expect them to go through that patch again this season, and who's to say they are going to be lucky this season. The club have fired Lampard, but i don't think it's going to result in an immediate change in their fortunes, it looks like Everton might actually be relegated come the end of this season.

Ah! Brother man you lie for that one oh, e never tay wey crypto don they popular for Naija sev, and crypto scams don start tay tay for other parts of the world wey crypto don they popular since, i they talk of countries wey their citizens don sabi/they use crypto tay tay, countries wey get plenty whales, Naija no be that kind country, so no talk say na only naija people they create altcoins to scam people, how many Naija people sev don create coin before. Na non-Naija people they create scam crypto coins/project pass, this kind scam no they peculiar at all to Naija people, make we no go they accuse ourselves for wetin we no do.

The countries in question were never using the U.S dollar as an investment asset, it is mainly used around the world as a reserve asset/currency because it is a very strong and stable currency, but immediately the covid-19 pandemic shed its milk teeth and with the subsequent printing of more money out of thin air, the U.S dollar is now facing somewhat of an inflation crisis.

Having said that, if countries are slowly switching to gold from the U.S dollar, it is because gold is a safe haven asset/store of value that isn't affected by inflation, thus they would want to diversify and make gold a part of their reserve asset as the dollar continues to suffer. It is not about profitability, gold is a stable asset, but ROI on gold isn't all that large.

The thing is, for you not to be tempted to sell when there is a short term appreciation in Bitcoin's price after investing, you'd have to personally decide what type of investor you are, if you are a long term investor or a short term one, if you are a long term investor you should also set a target of how many years you would want to hodl for, but prolly not less than 3-4 years, but do not buy in one lump sum, but accumulate through DCA.

Having said that, if you are a short term investor, you'd have to buy and then watch the price for an appreciation so you can sell, but if you go through that process, remember that you'd prolly not always buy back at a lower price, you'd buy back at any price Bitcoin is and hope for an appreciation again, the process isn't so easy because you can't game the market, thus more often than not you might be stuck with a fallen price and you'd have to wait for a long time before selling, or sell at a loss.

The story is somewhat vague, so we cannot really guess as to how the scammer was privy to such information; well we do not know how your friend lost his funds initially (in 2021), yes, you said he was scammed, but there are various ways one can be scammed, maybe the initial scam involved your friend revealing his private data, of which the scammers still have a list of some of their victims and their personal data.

Having said that, we also don't know how the discussion between this scammer and your friend went, the scammer might be very smart and indirectly get those info from your friend without it seeming like they asked. Well all of that isn't really important, do well to educate your friend that any funds lost in crypto, is lost for good; and if they want to continue in the crypto network, they should garner knowledge on how to secure their funds.

There is no forum rule as to when/why a thread should be locked, sometimes it can be a subjective decision by the user who created the thread, so the thing is: a user can lock their thread for a plethora of individual reasons, it is their discretion as the person who started the thread, the normal thing to do is to lock a thread when the discussion is basically over, but it is as subjective as a thread starter locking their thread when the discussion just began, you could prolly PM them to reopen it, but it is still up to them to accept or reject the request.

Having said that, when moderators lock threads, we know it is because the thread is now redundant and being used to spam posts, but when a user locks a thread, it might be for a reason we wouldn't be able to decipher.

Well, i was actually surprised that Brighton didn't try to settle the altercation Leandro had with the manager, they are prolly backing the manager, and i'm pretty certain the message from Roberto De Zerbi was that he didn't want to work with Leandro anymore. After the statement by Leandro's agent about the altercation, it was certain the relationship was strained, but because of how good a player the Belgian is, i thought the club would/could iron things out, but i guess it wasn't to be.

Having said that, it is a great deal for the three parties, the player and the both clubs, Brighton get a fair amount for the 28 year old, Arsenal get a new attacker after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk, and Leandro moves to a side that currently leads the League, and has a huge chance of winning it, which would make the Belgian an EPL champion.

Quite a lot of exchanges or crypto lending services usually collapse without giving any sign for an extended period of time, Genesis on the other hand had the signs of collapse written all over it for a couple of months now, thus i thought people would have already been prepared/preparing for it, but that doesn't seem to be the case as i have seen many signs of FUD about Genesis going insolvent today.

Having said that, the thing is that more often than not FUD causes a depreciation in the price of Bitcoin, and if people continue to spread FUD about this issue, it is basically going to spread panic amongst people who don't actually know what is happening/what is going to happen, thus if they sell their Bitcoins in their numbers we might quite rightly witness a slight decline/depreciation in the price of Bitcoin.
