ASUU DON CALL OFF ITS STRIKE
The academic staff union of universities has bowed to pressure, obey court order and suspended its 8 months strike. From the official release from ASUU, e dey clear say FG never settle them but court order don force them to suspend the strike.
The federal government used the judiciary arm of government to bully them back to work, if they had not complied that would have been a breach of court and they would have been arrested as criminals. ASUU merely suspended the strike but the issue they have for the federal government has not yet been resolved. What this means for every Nigerian students is that the possibility  of a strike has not been eliminated and that they may go back home soon if the federal government do not quickly comply.

I think he is an excellent goalkeeper. Throughout the matches, he put in an incredible performance. A 1-0 loss to Manchester United was due to Francis Uzoho's 11 saves and one goal conceded in the 93rd minute. The man of the match award was given to him even though his team lost. It was a performance that even Ronaldo was captivated by.
Manchester united had over 30 shots in the game before they were able to pass Uzoho who said he had praying for that opportunity. He definitely made an impression on everyone, His coach, Manchester United coach ten Hag, and all players and spectators. If his team don't turn him to their first choice keeper, I think it will not be long before another team maybe one in a better and more competitive league will come for him. I hope it does happen that way for him, because a goalkeeper like that who can be the difference deserves a better team. Had Mctominay not gotten a goal, it would have been a perfect game for him.

If we had an exact idea of what we can do to make the price of bitcoin go up quickly, I am sure we will be doing it already.
Time, just be patient.
True! and even when bitcoin starts going up...don't get too comfortable thinking that it will never go back down again. There will always be upward and downward movement until somehow the price becomes stable. We all just have to be patient and dedicated to bitcoins, time is just all it will take.

In the last 10 years the history of bitcoin a lot has definitely happened. A lot of crypto made millionaires have emerged from the cryptocurrency environment while a lot of people who were millionaires from crypto currently are no longer millionaires all as a result of the choices they made. Fact is in the next 10 years a lot will also happen in this cryptocurrency space, new millionaires will emerge while some people who are currently millionaires will no longer be millionaires by then, the position we will be is dependent on the decisions that will make today and consecutively before that time. Make good decisions, acquire more cryptocurrency and keep Hodling for as long as you can.

I don't know how long Omonia can resist, but Manchester United are playing well so far... Although halfway through the first half, they've taken 12 shots...
Marcus rashford has been clinical today hitting the target a couple of times but being denied by the Nigerian goalkeeper Uzoho who has replaced the first team keeper of the team. He has been the difference in this game and has stopped Manchester United from entering into the second half with any goal.
Omonia had like two good chances to be ahead but because of some stingy play they couldn't utilise the opportunity they had which might be the best one they will have in this game.

This Arsenal team is slowly becoming a strong team. A win like that with no convincing performance is a sure way to greatness.
We should have been in the champions League but were denied by Tottenham Hotspur. Just as we are showing I expect us to prove to everyone that we are bigger than this Europa League and deserve a chance next season in the champions League. We have eleven wins out of twelve games in all competition, that's a good record for Arterta.
2107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: October 13, 2022, 04:22:33 PM
Liverpool are a weak opponent for Manchester City in form. Liverpool is now in tenth place in the points table. Their performance is not good in the last three matches.
Liverpool's last performance in the champions League this week was way better than Manchester city's so I wouldn't quite say that their performance in the last three game has not been good. Klopp even after their UCL game where they trashed the opposition Rangers by seven goals, boasted that he was ready to face Manchester city so we are all looking forward to the weekend.

There is also something always about Liverpool whenever they get to play against Manchester city, they come alive! and the rivalry between both coaches is always on display. My opinion is Liverpool have a defence that can hold Manchester city if they play very composed football and also have an attack that can hurt and try the Manchester city defenders something that we have not seen from most teams this premier League season as Manchester city always get to dominate the game. In the best interest of arsenal we hope that Liverpool can either draw with Manchester city or even win them so they could stop chasing us from behind.

Thomas Tuchel has a heavy responsibility because we all know that the strategy that was applied at chelsea made them get a crushing defeat this season,
Its been an unfortunate season for Tuchel in EPL, but it can't be argued that Tuchel is still a very good coach. The reason he was relieved of his duties in Chelsea was more because of the fact that the new management and him had different visions for the future of the club, so he had to be changed. If it was just because of his unlucky run, then you would agree with me that even the likes of Klopp with his poor premier league performance this season would have been quickly changed. Although Tuchel has no experience managing a national team, the experience he has gathered over the years from coaching FC Augsburg II, Mainz 05, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea
can be beneficial.
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling - Do you have winning limits???? on: October 13, 2022, 01:47:53 PM
I used to have limits on winning, if I was able to make the win I just quit it for the day.
You were a more disciplined gambler, and staying that way would have been better for you.

Finally today even after achieving my limits on winning, I went for higher winning. What happened is loss of entire funds in the wallet.
Your inability to stay disciplined and greed pushed you above caution. It is good thing that you learnt your lesson immediately by seeing the result of indiscipline in gambling which can be a potential loss of funds. If you didn't loose, I think you would have been encouraged to even want to get more by increasing your winning limit. Constantly increasing your winning limit is dangerous and you can become a problem gambler before you realize.
2110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good that the Bitcoin community acts like a cult? (Podcast) on: October 13, 2022, 12:09:45 PM
Reading the topic of this discussion OP, I had to go check out the typical characteristics of a cult group, so I can on my own compare it with the characteristics of this community to see if there is a similarity. These are some of the characteristics I could find;
Quote
The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.

The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

The group is preoccupied with making money.

Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.

Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.

Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
source

Now comparing those characteristics;
Quote
The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
Can we say this is Satoshi?

Quote
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
I don't think there is any strong rule that you must bring people to the forum.

Quote
The group is preoccupied with making money.
We love money yes, but it is not the primary purpose of this forum, I believe the primary objective here is for knowledge and not money.

Quote
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Almost all sorts of questions and enquiries to know more are entertained on this forum, we are all here to learn.

Quote
Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group.
The forum is a free place, you decide the time you want to be active.

Quote
Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.
Privacy is key, and even though we are in the same forum, it is still often advised that you still exercise caution with other members.

In conclusion, there is a reason why there is the word ''community'' and the word ''cult''. IMO while they may share some similarities, the two word do not exactly refer to the same thing. Cult is the extreme of a community.

I like what I saw in Tottenham today ...
They almost lost concentration halfway and that would have cost them the complete three points, it's a good thing they were able to hold on to their winning to the last minute. they now top the table with a very good chance of qualifying for the next stage after their next game.

For Barcelona after spending so much and giving us hope that the team is back to glory days with the addition of some key players, they are still struggling to be relevant in the champions League, how disappointing the result of their game for both the players and the supporters of the club. Their hope of qualifying for the next stage is very slim and now dependent on inter Milan loosing against Viktoria Plzen. Some of the players in the club who by all means have wanted to avoid the Europa League may soon find themselves playing there because of their current situation that they've not been able to put themselves together.
2112  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Why are crypto exchanges not truthful? on: October 12, 2022, 09:28:01 PM
I signed up on Bybit through an ad that says free 1500$ for first depositors and after clicking I was forced to make first deposit and I later find out that the free 1500$ is for futures trading and you still need to trade futures with your money,  why can't the ad says free 1500$ for futures trading? It's same with Bitgert...
There is something called marketing strategy where a company may highlight something enticing from their terms and condition and those who are lazy to follow through reading and actually understanding the complete terms and conditions, may be fooled. This is money we are talking about here you don't expect them to just make the process of getting it as easy as it seems, you have to do something for them for them to do something for you that's how it works, nothing goes for nothing.

Next time to avoid being fooled, be sure to read through completely the terms and conditions of any exchange you want to use before you sign up, don't simply be lured by the promise of money.
2113  Economy / Economics / Re: Switching The World To Renewable Energy Will Cost $62 Trillion on: October 12, 2022, 08:09:36 PM
If the market price of bitcoin were higher. The same goals might be achieved by setting up wind and solar farms to mine bitcoin. Then using the profits to fund the expansion of renewable power and EVs.
Unfortunately, this school of thought though will work, but may not be adopted for use by many governments because the grievance they hold towards bitcoin will deter them from seeing and accepting a way through bitcoins to achieve their goal.

They claim a global shift to renewable energy would cost $62 trillion and pay for itself in 6 years.
It will cost them a lot more if they chose not to seek new energy sources but to remain with the energy sources we have currently. Its a good plan for them seeking to transition, it is mechanism to achieve it that has to be reassuring.

Do you visit casinos when you travel? How often? Which ones?
I don't travel often, but when I do, I wouldn't mind to visit their casino's especially if it's a city of gambling that I have heard so much about some of their major casinos that offer 5-star experiences. It will surely be fun to try and add as a destination on my bucket list if I visit such a country. The exposure will be good as well. Also for someone who wants to go into the casino business, traveling to visit casinos can be a good way to gather ideas to bring back to the location where you want to set your offline casino.

Milan has had a strong start to the game and is clearly showing that they can do everything they can to win it, but as of right now, their aggressiveness has gotten them into trouble as they have received a red card, which weakens their defense.
It was a clear penalty, but the decision of red card from German referee  Daniel Siebert was too harsh and unnecessary IMO, the referee has ruined the game and the momentum that the Italian side started with has now cooled down. It may turn out to be a rough game with a lot of bookings for both teams. Milan now has an extra job and will have to be extra composed if they are to win this game.

Chelsea now lead by two goals courtesy Jorginho and Auba. More goals will come definitely for Chelsea.



2117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone Use Or Using this Strategy In Casino on: October 11, 2022, 06:06:11 PM
Yes, i have done that before, but in sport gambling. There are times I deposited all and I lost all just during the first match I bet on. Be it sport or casino, that was just an addiction and not encouraging at all.
Even in sports betting, whenever i want to play, the amount deposited is usually what i intend to use in betting, so i don't see it as strange using all the money i have deposited to gamble at a go. if I use little amounts to gamble, I'm at the danger of spending more time gambling and becoming more accustomed to the practice which may make it difficult for me to keep track of the money I use in gambling especially since I'm a disciplined gambler who  uses a fixed sum of money for gambling.

According to several sources from Spain Mbappé just asked to PSG to be sold to REAL MADRID for this January.
If you had followed up the news properly, you would have heard and also read that PSG may be willing to release him since he is unhappy with the coaches attacking style, wants to play in the premier league and reportedly not in good terms with Neymar, but the only club that they are willing to release him to is Liverpool and not Real Madrid. Liverpool will really need his services to compliment their attack because they have not been the same since Mane left and Darwin Nunez isn't seeming enough.

2119  Economy / Economics / Re: Retailers make more profit than wholesalers during inflation. on: October 11, 2022, 11:58:36 AM
The narrative of this topic may mean to some considering business that going into retail can be more profitable for them when compared to Wholesaling just as you have suggested. But for me wholesaling remains the best option because some other factors in business have not been considered and the example you have given to support your claim is not sufficient. Though it may seem that retailers can make more money simply because they can adjust their price for consumers during inflation, wholesalers also adjust their price for retailers so they can still afford the price from the industries/manufacturers. Retailers also increase cost to reflect the cost of transportation of their goods as well. So the profit that you think retailers make may not be so much since there are some cost like transportation that will be subtracted from whatever they make as profit.
2120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Formula 1's Crypto.com Sponsor Is Falling Apart on: October 11, 2022, 11:37:20 AM
It's quite unfortunate really, but if you built your company heavily on ads and not focused on strengthening what you really offer, plus venturing out on other possible business fronts, this is what you'll get. They were extremely ambitious and bold in getting their name out there, and it's evident on getting deals left, right, and center on big sports teams and leagues.
Diversification can be good, but if not done calculatedly can suffocate a business. This IMO is the scenario crypto.com is facing. Their intention with the massive ads and chasing all the deals was good, but I think they lost focus and forgot one of the primary purpose of business which is to survive. As someone who is in business as well, I sympathize with other business owners when I see their businesses going through a tough time, I hope they recover and bounce back good. This new development should also serve as a warning to other business who plan on following the blueprint of crypto.com.
