Now we are already in the extra time and now it is 6-2 for Bayer Munich already.
Seems like Bayern Munich continued the great run of form after Barcelona game. All the players who scored in that game also recorded goals in this that game which means there is an abundance of players on the team with great goal scoring ability. I like Sadio Mane. a lot and it's a good thing that he is on the score sheet. For Choupu Moting, his name is also becoming a regular name to score for Bayern. It is good that we will see both of them play for their country (Senegal & Cameroon) in the world cup, this sort of form is what is needed for country in the world cup.

Amazing, Victor Osimhen every season he performances improve at Napoli this man is solid for the team, this season it looks like he will continue to be consistent in every match.
One of Osimhen's biggest challenges to his career remains his susceptibility to injury, else he is a great striker that always wants the ball and causes problems for defenders. He is on a great run of form right now scoring in all seven games that he has started and this hattrick, the first for him in Napoli uniform proves that the form he is in is undeniable. As a Nigerian what is most regrettable is that we did not qualify for the world cup else it would have been nice to see him take this form into the world cup for us.

I hope he is not forced out of play again due to injuries because Napoli really need him this season both in the Seria A and in the champions League.

I have a very smart kid who knows way too much about computer software and hardware, I believe that exposing him to blockchain technology is better since it's the future with the way things are going right now, where do you think I should start.
If your child already has an interest in computers, there is a high chance that sooner or later he will pick an interest in bitcoins and blockchain. Your major job as a parent is not to rush the child into what you think will be the future but to guide them carefully after you've watched them pick their interest, that is good parenting. Don't be too much in a hurry to force your child to learn about Blockchain to the detriment of the years where you are supposed to help them develop their interests.

An introduction to blockchain for them in the most friendly manner can be thoughtful but do not in any way put them under any form of pressure.
2004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A lottery's defense to not paying a huge winning. on: October 28, 2022, 10:52:00 PM


The question is ?
What do you really think of the lottery company and is there any chance for them to winning the case and not paying the winner?

I don't know if the stories of lottery or gambling platforms making excuses not to pay out huge winnings to people is becoming more or that they have always been happening and it is me who have not been up to date with them, because I've been reading a lot of stories recently about similar situations. This can be really bad for the image of the lottery company and the image of lottery companies in general if this sort of issues are ruled in favour of the online lottery platforms.
2005  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler who betrayed his friend's trust on: October 28, 2022, 10:16:14 PM
You should know that there are two categories of gamblers, the gamblers who are desperate and greedy and have let the pursuit of money cloud their conscience, while those who are not too desperate and just gamble mostly for fun but don't mind winning. It is obvious that the friend who betrayed the other one falls into the category of the desperate gamblers. If you are able to observe that anyone around you, friend or even family is desperate and greedy for money you cannot trust them with agreements regarding money.
2006  Other / Meta / Re: The Reason why you chose your username on: October 28, 2022, 03:55:16 PM
And a thought came to me that even though it is to hide identity and they chose the name, there must be a reason of selecting that username.
So, why do you chose that username?
Not all our usernames are to conceal identity, some users on forum are answering their real names, not their complete names, but their real names. My username is an extract from my business name. It is a name that has stuck over the years from being called by most of my customers who I have delivered satisfactory service to. When I joined this forum, I couldn't think of any other username to use.
2007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: October 28, 2022, 03:44:20 PM
Manchester united have what it takes to lift the Europa league title this season, afterall they're in form and their coach, Erik ten hag knows how to deal with average teams.
With the new teams that will be joining the Europa from the UCL, Manchester United will not easily just win the Europa. Their only challenge was Arsenal, now there are other competitors in the league who will come with the annoyance of being kicked out of the champions league to still try to win this league to remove shame from their eyes. Added to the list of contenders, there's now Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Sevilla who have won it most, and we are still expecting some big teams from the UCL. This season's Europa will be as exciting as the champions league.

Cristiano Ronaldo have gained back his confidence in scoring goals after he net a goal in last night game and did the peace of mind celebration. It's worth celebrating to see him back on the pitch after suspension from the board.

I wonder if he will still leave during the January transfer window.

Nigeria vs Columbia: FIFA U-17 women's semi-finals world cup
The Nigerian women played against Columbia in the semi-finals and it ended in a goalless draw in the first and second half of the match. which resulted in a penalty shot out. Nigeria (6)- Columbia(7)

I don't why Nigeria's coach have to change her goalkeeper to put in another goalkeeper that is too stiff to dive a ball. Am blaming the penalty lost on the goalkeeper, it's like we don't have any goalkeeper keeping the ball for us. What a terrible goal lost to a penalty when we were supposed to win by 5th take
No need blaming anyone, Not the coach for changing the Goal keeper, Not the new keeper for looking too stiff to dive according to you, because if we are going down that line, we need to still blame the players for letting the game even progress into penalties. But what happened is what was just meant to happen as you saw that the ball that would have sent us to the final hit the bar in the penalties, It is not our year, we expected the flamingoes to be the first African team to play in the finals of this competition, we have no options now than to wait for another time.
2009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 27, 2022, 10:32:03 PM
I am sure that Mikel Arteta would feature a strong side against Nottm Forest would be a very interesting match. Currently Nottingham is trying to avoid relegation and their win against Liverpool has showed they that new team is unbeatable. I am sure Arsenal understands that any mistake can make them lose their number one position.
It is a must win game for us (Arsenal), we can't allow Manchester city get ahead of us before the world cup break. Nottingham Forest defeated Liverpool, We also defeated Liverpool, so we cannot bank on that basis alone that they will win Arsenal. Nottingham Forest celebrated winning a big club like Liverpool, they will be looking to add Arsenal to the list and Arteta must not allow that.

We cannot afford to switch off in the second in the game like we did in the Southampton game and allow them have chances, we must put pressure on them from the start to the end of the game. We need the momentum and points before we go to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.
2010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: October 27, 2022, 10:19:25 PM
Clearly they aren't at risk of an elimination and even better still, they are the top of there group so what there not to be relaxed about. It's a common strategy in the managers play book.
The past few games we have played, the one with Southampton in the EPL where we had a draw and this one with PSV where they have won us, I hope it doesn't affect the mentality of our players in the coming game especially for the sake of our goal to qualify for the champions League next season.

 For people who gambled and bet that Arsenal were going to win, it is quite unfortunate that Arteta has destroyed your slip with a calm tactics to the game deciding not to start some players. It is not that Arsenal don't regard the Europa, it is more like every player in the team needs to have some playing time especially those hoping to get called for world cup duties, and also to rest players so they don't also get injured or fatigued before the world cup.
2011  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Prime Minister of UK - A crypto believer on: October 27, 2022, 10:01:46 AM
Rishi Sunak is the next prime minister of UK. He is from an Indian origin and is the youngest prime minister of UK since 19th century.
Becoming the prime minister of the UK at an early age amidst the many factors that would have made it almost impossible is a sign of the level of confidence that they must have in his ability which will be put fully to test in this difficult economic times they are in. Considering his young age and say he is successful in holding the country together through the harsh economic times, his crypto believes will rub off on people, and if he is prime minister for a while, it will rub off on many more people thus promoting adoption.
2012  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think of gold price in long term? on: October 27, 2022, 09:49:20 AM
As fiat currencies dump, some countries are moving towards increasing the amount of gold they have in their reserves. More specifically some of them are dumping US dollar to replace it with gold. For example India recently bought 200 tonne of gold and there is rumors of more conversions happening. China has been doing something similar under the radar. So are others.
Many of them have still not accepted bitcoins, so it can be expected that in seeking an alternative to fiat, they choose gold.

I'm wondering what does everyone think about gold price in the long term, specially in coming year or two as the conflicts get worse and more economies crash which would push regular people to invest in gold and more governments to start increasing their gold reserves on larger scale.
Bitcoins are a better option to invest in if you are expecting the crisis to worsen and more will realize this. People will invest more in bitcoins but it will not make gold loose its value so soon in that two years window. Although bitcoins will become the generally preferred choice, gold still has the potential of becoming more valuable if it gets scarcer.
2013  Economy / Economics / Re: Can A Redesign of A Countries Currency Note Improve Its Economy? on: October 27, 2022, 08:31:01 AM
In recent news, it is the plan of the Nigerian government to redesign its currency notes.
It seems they are already done redesigning it, but just letting the general public know the new developments and when it won't start becoming effective. They claim that a new design will help to stop counterfeiting as a benefit, but the question is for how long will it be effective? What stops counterfeiters from counterfeiting the new design. Are there no other effective ways to curb counterfeiting without spending massively on redesigning a whole national currency. IMO, this is a temporary solution to a problem that is long term.
2014  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: October 26, 2022, 11:18:18 PM
You fit still use Google search for importance of redesigning currency. Especially for this election wey dey come. E go even help strengthen naira because the old money fit expire for illegal hoalders hand and many more.
Many advantages dey to redesign currency.
Why many Nigerians are very quick to disapprove of any move made by the government is because of the lack of trust in their motives which most times as we have seen in recent times is usually more for personal gain than the benefit of Nigerians. If the process to redesigning this our currency is free and void of theft and falsification of figures, the benefits would have been what is more talked about. We are afraid that these people are fashioning ways to get more money from the country since they know that they are on their way out and maybe they're just doing so smartly through the Central Bank.
2015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 26, 2022, 11:01:50 PM
Barcelona lost at home to Bayern Munich. Barcelona couldn't get a shot on target throughout the match.  
Apart from the Barcelona attack that was not so good today their defence has been really terrible this last past two seasons. Xavi has a lot to do else they will so not do well in Europa. Their defence is really in a terrible shape that any attack from a good attacking team can result in a goal, which is very unlike the Barcelona days with Puyol in defence.

Tottenham is another team i will like to discuss, tactically, I don't think the coach Conte has what it takes to take the team deeper into the competition. Tottenham's tactics to games looks almost the same which makes it difficult for them to always secure max points especially from coaches that understand that kind of football. They were lucky to get a draw today.
2016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Why We Prefer Online Casinos to Land-based Casinos on: October 26, 2022, 10:48:43 PM
  • Games of Various Types
Land-based casinos will never compete with the sheer number of games accessible on the internet nowadays...
The problem of limited game options being offered by Land-based casinos has been eliminated. Now with online casinos, one casino we can have a lot of options and you can play wherever you like without having  to wait in line to play your favourite game on a machine, unlike land-based casinos where during times where there are too many customers, you may have to wait your turn to play on a machine if they have limited machines.

Privacy is another reason why we play on online casinos. You can play on online casinos for years and no one will know you gamble but visiting a land-based casino for just 3 months and everyone in your neighborhood will have an idea of your gambling activity.
2017  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bear market likely over? on: October 26, 2022, 10:29:38 PM
What do you all think about the sudden bounce back and price increase on Bitcoin of lately?
Certainly you did not expect bitcoins to keep going down, at some point we all expected that there will be a bounce back, but maybe this is too sudden and too quick for us to start calling it start of the bull season.

It is good news but I will also say you shouldn't get your hopes too high so you don't get disappointed if it doesn't go your way. We are expecting a bull run, maybe it has already started happening yes, but our major concern should remain how to get more bitcoins and hodl safely.

Why still hesitating about bitcoin when others were jubilating for it adoption in making difference, i have three facts to make you change your decision and start investing with this period while it is still on the bear mode just for you to set in for an opportunity.
Apart from newbies and others who are not in this forum I doubt that anyone who has really spent time here doesn't know the importance of bitcoins. In trying to be more involved in the community to learn more is why most of us have found ourselves in this forum. A good topic but I think you need to focus more of your energy and most likely share this topic to people who you know are still skeptical and have no idea about the importance of bitcoins and how there are no alternatives to it even if one decides to hold another coin in addition, bitcoin is a must-have. 
2019  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Point Do You Start Accepting Bitcoin as a Payment Option For Your Business? on: October 26, 2022, 08:56:33 PM
If you must start accepting bitcoin as a mode of payment for your business you must do so at a time when you are ready to accommodate it and face any challenges that may arise due to your new option and not do so out of pressure because everyone else running a business around you and they are   accepting bitcoins. That a business is accepting bitcoin is no indication that a business is successful. the major reason why bitcoins are added as mode of payment in business is to create more options for customers, in a place where there is no need for it,  there is no need.

I can notice the excitement in your write-up. It is a nice attitude to want to celebrate every little win but you must also understand that there is a very long way ahead and with every new rank comes an increased responsibility which you must be prepared for. The intention of this is not to scare you but to make you prepared for better contribution. As a tip, increase your knowledge in cryptocurrency so you can contribute better to the subject of this forum.
