Bournemouth are really trying their best to run off the relegation zone but their visitors [Chelsea] ain't doing any good but still dropping points. Chelsea isn't in a healthy position in the league table and this might be one of their worst form in a long while.
Frank Lampard and his boys need to come up with something positive to at least cheer the fans with, if not I think they might be paying the fans their tickets money just like Spurs did, very funny though. In my own corner I see the Blues going out on this fixture with everything they've got and taking all 3pt, today's fixture will boost their morale with a huge win over Bournemouth.

2023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advise to a friend on: May 05, 2023, 03:45:34 PM
Ordinarily, I don't like asking questions like this because I feel they're personal questions that should be answered by myself alone but it has been on my mind for a very long time and I have not gotten a solution for it.

I have a friend that works hard. He does two jobs and he makes a lot of money. Most of his money is in a savings bank account where he saves them. He doesn't have any use for it right now so the money is just sitting pretty in that account. Lately, I've been having the urge to advise him to buy Bitcoin with like 40% of his savings and HODL. Holding won't be an issue for him because he has the patience of an old man. He has left the savings in his account for over two years without touching it. Now imagine him transferring that energy to Bitcoin.

The problem is, someone has convinced him to buy altcoins before now, I think in late 2021 or thereabout. He bought three different altcoins for about $500 and now two out of the three coins he bought are worthless. one is worth about $0.045. The price ain't the issue, the issue is these coins are not like Bitcoin that will rise again.
I have explained all he needs to know about Bitcoin to him and he understands. He understands how Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme, the risk, and the patience involved.
He buys into the idea but I'm still having doubts. I don't want to look like a fraud when things don't work out. I mean, I can speculate about the market all I want, but I can't be sure what tomorrow brings.

So should I go ahead and advise him to buy Bitcoin or I should leave him to come to me himself? Because he will buy it if I ask him to.


There's nothing to be afraid of because if you look at it this way, life is all about risk so by now he must have known what it takes to get a good profit from investing on Bitcoin.
To me I'd advise you to go to him and tell him all about it (Bitcoin), the good and the upset of Bitcoin, let him be aware of everything he needs to know.
Since you're his friend is best you lead him through this investment than for him going out to meet someone who would want to scam him. He has the patience that means he ain't going to rush into it immediately (like using all his cash because he wants a bigger return), is just best you guide him. It will really hurt you more if he falls in the hands of scammers, so don't wait.

2027  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How NEPA dey treat you for your area? Good or bad? on: May 05, 2023, 04:47:23 AM
Prepaid something make sense for areas where u no say onah no too they get light and u they leave 4 compound way no too dy corporate, u get ur own huz. If nah for yard like were I they stay, nah we they enjoy the light pass, we they get light just as people way they across they get way dy use prepaid. Almost all of us get fridge, electric stove, iron and other things way they consume power well well. So we we they the close no gree make them put prepaid for our street. Every month end dem go carry bill like 15-20 give each of the compound. We no they reason am becauz we no watin we they consume, if we split our self eh no they cost us pass the least 1k-1.5 4 each head something way I know fully well say 2k self no for serve me for prepaid.

My broda the prepaid go well sometimes but the main thing be say when to use those big big appliances like iron and fridge them you go start to reason how fast e go consume your unit, and if not that one, where e sweet nah where no NEPA man go carry bill wey them no construct well come give you every month like you talk, 15k and above. E no fit happen with PPM at all.
I bin hate prepaid oh but now, our love don dy strong small small, remain to like NEPA wey I no sure if e fit happen.
2028  Economy / Economics / Re: 2023: What money lessons have you learned so far? on: May 05, 2023, 04:33:37 AM
do not ever get attached to it. Because it is out of the attachment that brings out a lot of evil vices where you do not mind doing anything even though it is illegal to get it or get more of it.

Some say money isn't everything but we must make money, if you have money or lemme say enough money there's no way you won't get attached because it would be like a blood sucking disease that it pushes you go never stop, always go and get more no matter what (that depends on if you're greedy).
Is best to control your hunger for money when you know you can still get more of it, if you don't that's when the bad side of it comes out.

The lesson have learnt about money is never tell yourself you have money even if you do, if not those unnecessary distractions will follow.
2029  Economy / Speculation / Re: Month of May. Bitcoin price guess on: May 04, 2023, 12:19:26 AM
Bitcoins are continuously struggling in this 29k price segment. I mean the pulls are here strong for which Bitcoins are unable to break the resistance and hence it is unable to climb up in price. This year, Bitcoins are bound to break the All time high price, but I think May is still very early to see that reflecting. If Bitcoins manages to surpass 35k usd by the end of this Month, then definitely at around September we can see something big from the coin. For the time being I am estimating Bitcoins will rest at around 35k usd in May.

Definitely Bitcoin is struggling to go higher instead going down than the current prize 29k. Was thinking it would be around 60k by now base on the prediction from last year that this year it would go higher than we're seeing. The year is still fresh at the moment but I'm certain that by the end of the first half [the end of June] of this year it would go higher than 60k like I said earlier.
2030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 03, 2023, 02:42:19 PM
City will be going into today's fixture with the hope of getting a positive outcome but I have that feeling that the London club [West Ham] would give the Citizens a difficult match today.
I also feel they [West Ham] would do Arsenal a favor by putting their all in this game because as it is the EPL has not being in the London side in a long while, I think is going to be a battle for all London clubs that are facing City to take the game too personal and who knows, there might be an upset for Manchester City before the end of the campaign.
2031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 03, 2023, 12:14:59 AM
The gunners did what they think was going to get them closer to the title by giving the fans a little hope by securing all 3pt against a struggling Chelsea side and they [Gunners] are hoping for a miracle to happen in the game between Man City vs West Ham. Anything can happen and it will shock some football fans if City lose to The Hammers, so with the way things are going I just feel Pep would rather lose the EPL than lose the UCL, that's his main target and with all Pep has always been saying that the league is still open that is not yet over, Mind games or what? Funny though.

The gunners has come this far not to just give up like that, they still have that little spark of making a bigger flame by winning the title. A slight mistake from the Citizens and it is done, Arsenal are winning it, the gunners have made their own mistakes and is time to wait for the Citizens to make theirs.

he's SS while I'm AC
So he's sick and you're fine CMIIW (I learned about it today)
Yet he can grow, become an adult, and want to marry you.

The chance of your kid (SS x AC) would be:
* AS 50% -> normal health, carrier
* SC 50% -> Hb SC disease, milder than SS

If you want to gamble, you'll have a 50% chance of a normal child... if you're unlucky HB SC is still milder than SS.
Well, not definitely the best option, but I've seen worst families and yet they are still fine.
If you don't want to gamble, adoption is one option, but make sure you are fine with an SS husband.

To be frank with you, we thought about all these options but who are we to gamble with an innocent child, ok supposing we did as you said and things went bad for the child and the child start falling sick and even dosing off in class or something, who should be responsible for that? Is just going to hurt the child if he/she start asking for answers and you don't expect"we" the parents to lie, you know.
These are not what we should think of because of love, I can't see my child suffering for some I choose out of my selfish interest... Common bro, not an option.
2033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin overshadowed by economic lie on: May 02, 2023, 11:49:58 PM
Yes we have lots of scammers when it comes to dealing on Bitcoin but if they [They Government] don't create a good picture about Bitcoin I don't see it coming out plain to the public especially the old ones. No matter how it is been said I don't see these lies dying off any time soon.

Expecting the government to say something good I think this is just a waste of time because it is very likely, only seali say bitcoin is good even now only a few fingers do that because they realize if they do that to bitcoin then they will definitely will get a boomerang.
I personally don't really expect something like that because this is a condition that really isn't really possible either.
The most important thing is as long as they don't cross the limits with bitcoin then it's already very good with regulations that can be said to be soft enough and I can still access it without fear of anything then that's enough for me.
Even though the government's acknowledgment will ultimately determine a better fate, but on the other hand it is clear that the possibility of such a thing from the government is small and even tends to be impossible.

Are you trying to say that is a lost cause?
I still believe that there's a way that all these can be resolved, I don't know how but I feel if some certain individuals come together and discuss about it that the governments who speak ill about Bitcoin can have a rethink or maybe make it open a little bit, open in the aspect of making the public know how useful and important Bitcoin is. With time other countries will adapt to it, and before you know it countries that ban Bitcoin can legalize it.
2034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do with bitcoin? on: April 30, 2023, 02:27:34 AM
Everyone has a target when it comes to investing, it only takes a good investor on Bitcoin to know when to squeeze out his/her profit, nobody loves to lose.
With Bitcoin rising exponentially in value, investors would have at least a backup plan and think of what to do with their earning, because is not everyday we see the rise of Bitcoin, when that [rising of Bitcoin] happens I take that opportunity to get important things to be in place and never to allow unnecessary spends cloud my mind.

Some investors just spend their profit on depreciating asset not considering to reinvest their earning on any lucrative business. It doesn't help anyone to spend lavish knowing quite alright that is not easy to get to where you are, unless you're one of those billionaires.
Well in such occasion a profitable strategy to know when to back out is one key factor and avoid being greedy on like some traders.
2035  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin overshadowed by economic lie on: April 30, 2023, 01:43:02 AM
Bitcoin exist for over a decade yet there’s only few percentage of the human population is involved on Bitcoin investment. Not because that the majority of people is not aware nor exposed but because they are the victim of economic lie such disinformation towards Bitcoin through negative propaganda of Banks.

We are all being feed of wrong information of economic norms by the billionaires that benefiting the current system. Bitcoin is the best asset to invest in terms of price growth on long term period yet people are still scared to touch due the wrong information given by the main stream media.

In the country that I live, Bitcoin has a stigma of being a scam because our own government warn the public to not engage on Bitcoin investment due to a lot of scam involves it and the volatility is high. Most of the people here including the old professional don’t dare to touch it despite Bitcoin already has good price history.


Something is really not clear when it comes to Bitcoin, is like the government doesn't want a situation where the public would only be in control over their money, they also want to know what revolve in an individual account, the governments of some countries let me say like mine, give negative impression about Bitcoin and it's also makes the public to abstain from it [Bitcoin].
Yes we have lots of scammers when it comes to dealing on Bitcoin but if they [They Government] don't create a good picture about Bitcoin I don't see it coming out plain to the public especially the old ones. No matter how it is been said I don't see these lies dying off any time soon.
2036  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why is the issue of Genotype affecting relationships? on: April 28, 2023, 07:45:17 PM
Its okay to be in love with someone whose genotype is not compactible with yours if you both agree that you wont procreate.
This is a serious mistake most people make while going into relationships; they don't verify these things first and they are very important but there are ways around it if you have made the mistake and you cant bare the loss of your relationship.


I agree that it would be okey for them to stay together and decided not to have children or even adopt one instead.
But I doubt that is an option, since I have learnt from people living in Africa and also users on this forum that having children is an important part of the family culture there and not getting married and not procreating can lead to being socially rejected or stuff like that. In my opinion it is non-sense, since I am from the Americas; but I get how different cultures can be around the world.

I have learnt more about African culture since I joined this forum, tbh.

Adopting isn't a bad idea but you have no idea what joy it would bring for a woman to have her own child instead of adopting.
I can't see myself being with a guy I love so much and yet we can't get married, the shame it would bring to both of us when people finds out that we ain't married but we stay together, is like we're deceiving ourselves. Here in Africa things are done differently unlike yours, like you said people have different cultures and how they even live.
2037  Other / Politics & Society / Why is the issue of Genotype affecting relationships? on: April 28, 2023, 01:44:42 PM
I was in a relationship with this guy for almost 4years, things between us was fine the vibe was just lovely, he met my standard, like what more would a woman want in a man such as him? We were happy. Until the day I felt sick and we got to the hospital, they check that it wasn't something to worry about and he said we should check our Genotype which I agreed. I never knew mine so the result came out and he's SS while I'm AC, I cried my eyes out that day. We just couldn't get things to work out between us but to go our separate ways.

In our society today some people do go and check their Genotype while some don't think is even necessary.
Is it cool to take a girl/guy you haven't get to know that better but still catching feelings for each other to go for a Genotype test? Is some how awkward to me.

In some cases you'd see something like SS + SS = Incompatible. AC + SS = incompatible. SC + SS = incompatible, like the both parties are madly in love. Is really painful to leave someone who you've spent so many year with only to find out that both of you can't get married. Not cool to me but what can we say. In the other case where you have the "perfect ones" per say, you'd see;
AA + AA= compatible
AA + AS= compatible
AA + SS= compatible
AA + AC= compatible
AS + AS= compatible.
They're all cool right? Is it that they're the only ones that are ok to stay in a relationship and the others ain't?
This is what rest that one person I truly loved, felt like beating myself.
2038  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: April 27, 2023, 10:42:43 PM
Sometimes the situation/condition an individual finds his/herself are the major cause of staying poor or we can blame it on the way a country manages their economy. Some people try there best to make things work out for them but is like they're not even trying.
Because of this happening it even pushes people to engage themselves in things that are not legal, you'd hear cases like drug dealing human trafficking and all that, staying poor is not a sin or a disease but with the way the rich make it look like poor people ain't suppose to come close to them or be in existence it makes one to go crazy. Is like being poor is something that has to be in this world and it can't be cured even if it's a sickness.
2039  Other / Off-topic / Re: Working over 20 years still poor on: April 27, 2023, 10:28:22 PM
OP, there's no such thing as luck or destiny in what you said, I don't believe in that happening, your joy today can be someone else sadness, what works for you can never work for me so what I'm saying is that you just have to wait for your turn.
If you check some people got employed same day but didn't get promoted same day. If there's no poor there won't be a rich person. And no matter the duration you sink yourself in your job, if it's not your time it will never be your time to grow in any business until God says it's your turn to shine.
2040  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What really makes pastors children rebel? on: April 27, 2023, 10:12:52 PM
Sometimes pastors just make it seems like whatever they are doing like preaching, praising God that their children should follow their footsteps, it's so sad that pastors don't let therir children be who they want to be. In some homes pastors forget that in church they are suppose to be the pastor of the church but at home they're no longer the pastor but a father who have to lead the children in the way of life and probably use some scriptures to address them and not making it compulsory that they [children] must follow their ways.

Some of these actions force children to act the way they feel like whenever they find themselves outside their homes, like they feel free when they're not with their pastor if a father, they get wild oand friends also contribute to some of these act.

Is even hard for a pastor to teach his or her child/children sex education. It would be bad for them [children] to learn those things outside from friends and in a wrong way, so some behaviors of pastors to their children can make the children rebel against them.
