I think the problem here is not Eric Ten hag's men, the problem is Eric Ten hag himself. I remember when Ronaldo was complaining about ten hag, a lot of people where saying ooh because Ronaldo feels he is too big to be talked to, that is why he is casting aspersions on the coach. here we are with the same problem Ronaldo was talking about. It so obvious that the job of being a manager of an elite club like Manchester United is too big for ten hag, it better the management look for a new coach for the club for next season. Ronaldo on the other hand is still banging goals.

The tactical formation Ten hag has been coming up with these players is not working, I don't know if I should blame the players themselves or ten hag on these issue but United needs a technical pattern for them to be known for, a pattern that will help them win their matches, the arsenal's and the Man city's of now have a technical way of playing to undo their opponents but I cannot say the same for united.

Another Audio Manchester United fan who takes all his facts from social media. I'm a huge fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, he had his own issues and I have said that severally here. Also, Manchester needed to press more and stuff, but there was ways Erik Ten Hag could have still merged with him but after failing to report to training during pre-season, I believed Erik Ten Hag used benching as a means to punish him internally, so many things you don't know because there's two sides and even three sides kf every story.

It's not about short term, you aksk have to plan for long term. Manchester United squad has no quality, if it was a quality side I would agree. Have you also forgotten how much he did after Ronaldo left Manchester United? I love Cristiano Ronaldo no doubt but he needed to leave, he had a winning mind, well shaped mentality and stuff but his body wasn't giving out any of this. It was hurting to see that my goat would leave that way.

I'm tired if singing this like a song, Erik Ten Hag is not the problem with Manchester United. Yeah, he had some his decisions going sideways but I'm backing the bald headed Dutchman come rain and sun.

The pace of football has increased and you can't do that with likes of Casemiro who has lost his pace, Erikson with heart issues and Scott MC Tominay who cannot detect a game or move three to four steps ahead of the game. I take most of you here as spammers because you just come on here to catch fun and stuff.

Good picture of Arsenal and Manchester City..... Do you know how many seasons it took Mikel Arteta to get this good? Three! Erik Ten Hag did good in his first season but you want to crucify him for just one season? I won't compare Erik Ten Hag with Pep Guardiola but Mikel Arteta?

Erik Ten Hag has done way better than Mikel Arteta if you're to compare them first two seasons. It's the rebuilding, it takes time and patience which recent Manchester United fans no longer have.

You said Ronaldo's body wasn't giving  to all the things you mentioned, but he was banging goals for united that season, he ended as the club highest goal scorer above Rashford that was the striker. He was still ready to give in his all for united, it was Erik ten hag who couldn't manage the little crisis they had as he was supposed to, at least if not as a coach but as a big brother.  The same Ronaldo your talking about his body not giving to all of the things you mentioned, has been scoring more goals and the people you think are better of, are still struggling week in, week out to come up with tactics that can help them win games but yet nothing is coming out.

If the likes of casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Scott MC Tominay have developed slow pace, is it not the duty of the coach to look for replacement, why manage the situation. No matter how you try absorb the blame from Erik ten hag, the bucks stop's at his table.

There are exceptions:

Exempted from the levy include loan disbursements and repayments, salary payments, intra-account transfers within the same bank or between different banks for the same customer, intra-bank transfers between customers of the same bank.

Also exempted from the levy were inter-branch transfers within a bank, cheque clearing and settlements, ⁠Letters of Credits, ⁠Banks’ recapitalisation-related funding only bulk funds movement from collection accounts, savings and deposits including transactions involving long-term investments, among others.

Fintech among? I can see that banks, other financial institutions and payment service providers are among. I think this will encourage intrabank transactions.
It has always been like these for intra-bank transfer, as most banks don't charge for intra-banking transactions.
I think it's a levy for them use and be able to get more money from the fintech companies, as most Nigerians have migrated to internet Banking system.
The president wants to use the same template he used in lagos state, at the national level, and it has been working perfectly as Nigerians are known to be docile and accept whatever the government throws at them.  We go pay pay tire. The nomenclature is another thing that is making me laugh, "cybersecurity levy on all transactions".

Hi everyone, here is another example why you can't and shouldn't launder money using cryptocurrency.

https://crypto.news/heir-to-cartier-empire-arrested-for-attempted-money-laundering-using-usdt/

Many newbies and beginners believe that crypto is a way they can move funds without the government knowing, you are wrong, in fact crypto is a very bad way of laundering money, everything you do can be traced.

This guy is charged with drug trafficking and laundering of funds using USDT, I can't stop laughing when I read this news, USDT that's even wired to clap on illegal funds, it is centralized in and out.

If your source of money is not clean, crypto is not your home, where you should feel safe.

Some people might say why USDT, but let me tell you, even with Bitcoin and others you can still be traced, you will leave some footprint behind, it could take longer but one day, you will make a mistake.

Abstain yourself from illegal ways of making money, learn a skill and you will be set for life.
From the storyline, is not sounding as if Cartier was using USDT because he doesn't want to be traced, but it was more like him using a method that will be easy for him to launder his loot, because obviously the world will see him as rich guy who earns legitimate money from his business. The shell companies linked Cartier where using Centralized exchange, which will certainty need your KYC for you to even make transactions in USDT, so it was a deliberate method for him to use to launder money.

For me, the story line should be, Why would you want to still go into illicit business, when you where born into a wealthy family with so much left for you to inherit. From the evidence obtained, it is certain that the rich dude will do his term.
224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 07, 2024, 09:44:08 AM

 To be honest, I don't see them making top 6 being that they lost to a not so strong side like Crystal Palace and if they couldn't control this one, is it when they meet Arsenal or Newcastle or Brighton they will be able to do something? The thing is that United really needs a reshuffling and it's embarrassing that they had to be taught some lessons by a team that isn't contending for anything. They just got their asses thrashed (4)-(0) reasons. 😩😩😩
They have lost the opportunity even though there are a few games left but still want a more decent position for the Europa League zone it still seems a little complicated if Manchester United's performance is like this.

What I think at the moment is why the red club in the EPL always throws away opportunities that are actually very good in front of the eyes because previously Liverpool also did the same thing where the chance to win them was very big but for now they have to give up that position and at the moment it is also happening for Manchester United.

Their chance to be in the Champions League zone a few weeks ago was actually still there but with the results of 4 draws 2 defeats and 1 win obtained from the last 7 matches they did it made them have to accept that this season was a season that was not too good for them so now it depends on how the rest of the match whether they will remain in a better position in the remaining 3 matches or will actually remain in their current position it depends on how Manchester United do the match especially in the rest of this match there are still Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton where currently Arsenal are championship contenders for Manchester City while for Newcastle is still a dark horse status even though Brighton can currently be said to be an ordinary club in contrast to before but still they can be troublesome.
After the game, Erik ten Hag was interviewed about the game and he was heard saying it was a disappointing and embarrassing performance by his men and I couldn't agree more because at the moment no team is afraid to play against them as UTD have become such easy picking for the not so strong clubs. I find it quite funny that Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and the others thought to pick up one injury or the other in this game but may be available for the match against Arsenal, well it won't matter if they are available or not, I think they will be another club the Gunners will win at home and away.
I think the problem here is not Erik Ten hag's men, the problem is Erik Ten hag himself. I remember when Ronaldo was complaining about ten hag, a lot of people where saying ooh because Ronaldo feels he is too big to be talked to, that is why he is casting aspersions on the coach. here we are with the same problem Ronaldo was talking about. It so obvious that the job of being a manager of an elite club like Manchester United is too big for ten hag, it better the management look for a new coach for the club for next season.

Manchester United vs Castiel Place is going to be an interesting and competitive match between the two teams today.  Although we saw Manchester United in good form last season, but their performance in the current season is absolutely bad.  Whereas Manchester United was in the top position of the points table last season but this season they are not even close to the top position, they have played with a lot of frustration which is why they are not in a good position in the Premier League standings. However, if they win today's match with Castiel Place, they will be able to move to the sixth position in the points table. And if they can go to this position, they can definitely appear in the Premier League with good results in the next season. Since Manchester United is not in good form this season, but if they can bring good stars in their team next season, there will be enough chances to win the EPL, Manchester United can't do well in this season, so they have to think about next season.
Man United needs to win in this match because if they experience another draw it will make their position drop in the standings. Of the last five matches, Man United was only able to achieve one win and the remaining four ended in draws. Now Man United is in eighth place in the standings because there are many problems at Man United so they are unable to compete to be in the top three. It is difficult to compete with other top clubs if Man United's strength is like now because many players look so selfish.

A major overhaul must be carried out because even though their strength is still the same as last season, they are still having difficulty competing this season. The defense line is a problem because they do not have suitable replacement players when the main players are injured, which affects their playing performance.
As it stands now, it is not looking like Manchester United are going to win these game, as it's 2-0 already with a likelihood of crystal palace to main their stance.  it's unfortunate that Manchester United are going to lose more points, because they will be playing against arsenal on Sunday and Newcastle the next, these are tough games which are very unlikely for them to win.
Crystal palace have been making use of the their wings and bit of midfield control on these game, while Manchester United have so far not been composed In their attacking formation.

I am so much concerned to why Nigerians government is banning the use of p2p on some crypto apps. To their allegations, it's said the crypto is affecting the currency and it also aids money laundry. Can anyone enlighten if what the government is doing is the right thing. The government left the banking sector and blames binance and other crypto companies.
The Nigerian government always comes up with a lot of excuses just to undo the crypto community. Is Nigeria the only country in sub-saharan Africa to use P2P, why are other African countries not have the same issue. My own question is, how is P2P affecting the countries currency, does the value of the countries currency depend on P2p?, They should explain to us. How does P2P aid money laundering and why is the laundering happening only in Nigeria?

With the way things are going and most governments being against bitcoin and crypto because criminals are using it, how would it be if Government finds a way to regulate it and all or most countries adopts it as legal tender?.
How will it affect the market?
Have you ever thought about that?.
OP, Your first question is how would it be if government finds ways to regulate bitcoin, first of all bitcoin is decentralized, it was not made for government to regulate or control. While you're second question is about a country adopting bitcoin as a legal tender and how it is going to affect the market. The adoption of bitcoin will certainly skyrocket the value of bitcoin because it will lead to more people within that country to adopt it which will lead a high surge in demand, this will in turn push up the price of bitcoin. More so,  it will also be the responsibility of that Government to adopt mechanism within its system that will easily make the function of bitcoin as a legal tender easy for her citizens.

AltCoins are like the media being hijacked by the by the government.
They acts like the politicians with their unfulfill able promises during campaigns. They just go about spreading what the people needed to hear because they knows the truth would always be bittered and discouraging.
A lot of Investors has fallen in the pit of dump coins due to greeds and desperacies of chasing all that contents being hyped about somany Alt and Meme Coins which has been dumped and nowhere to be found in the market trends anymore and more investors are still falling victim as much as the hyping of these coins stays active.

When would people find reputation in uniqueness that keeps an integrity without having those campaign structures of hyping like the AltCoins and the bitcoin?
While bitcoin being the first crypto currency which has never fluctuated from its fundamental potentials right from the origin of development, it has seems so great, resourceful with reputabilities and yet some investors tends to hover over in investing on the other coins that likely to emulate their potentials from the king of the crypto currencies known to be BITCOIN.
AltCoins are conic cryptocurrencies while bitcoin is a reputable Cryptocurrency but the desperacies and those with the ignorance of knowledge would never get it right untill they gets to the bottom of regrets.




We all know that the dexterity bitcoin has cannot be over emphasize, because it's a coin that has been tested and trusted. However there are still altcoins out their that do have some potentials, there are testimonies of Nigerians that have bought some altcoins and at the end of the day they had more than double of their investment, the onus lies on you the individual to do your research thoroughly, for you to find out the authenticity and potentiality some altcoins have before you even attempt to invest.

Courtois is back after a very long injury time period. When I saw him on the bench of the first leg game against Bayern Munich I got really surprised. Because they said that he returned but got injured once again. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to play in the remaining games. But here we are. He played for 90 minutes against Cadiz recently. I wonder whether Ancelotti will put him in the starting eleven in the rematch here as well.  Huh

It looks like there is only Alaba left who is injured at Real Madrid side. This is very positive news for them. Now I expect them to be stronger at defending as Militao is also back in business.  Smiley  I don't think Bayern Munich will manage to eliminate them at Santiago Bernabeu. I still expect this thing to end in regular time.
There is no point for courtois to come back now, he should just get prepared for the next season, the current Madrid goal keeper has been very incredible with his performance, his brilliance was put to test against Manchester city, when he was able to save two penalties out of the five kicks. It will be a tough choice for Madrid next season, if they will bench these current goal keeper for the return of courtois, because keeping a goal keeper of that kind of quality on the bench, will certainly make room for other clubs to come for him.

When it comes to Bernabeu, Madrid always force the attack on the opponent, they play as people that understand the four cardinal points of the field, the first leg against Bayern Munich has already thought them a Lesson that Bayern shouldn't be treated with kid gloves as they can actually take you on surprisingly. One major thing Madrid have at this stage that is helping them stand solid are the experience players on their side, because experience helps you to approach a game differently.

I wouldn't buy that sign even if I was a billionaire, because I don't see any significance in it. Yeah a dude held it and it generated some hype in Bitcoin community for a week - so what? In my book that wasn't a significant moment in Bitcoin's history. The fact that it was sold for $1M is just another example that there are Bitcoin whales who sit on large amounts of coins and can easily spend $$ millions on some overpriced stuff.
This is you sharing your own opinion on how you feel about it. On the other side, a lot of us wouldn't try to acquire any piece of paper or art that has no use to us, but these collectors, who like collectibles a lot, think differently, especially those rich Wahala's who are looking for means to spend and make some BTC and make things popular.
 
What I see here is that some people use money to get more money or fame. That paper is hyped and is the perfect piece to get the kind of attention they need. It could easily be sold out again to another wahala with just a little hype on it.

That's just it, most of this wealthy people does all this things to just show off or just to be among that few individual who have the financial power do it, it might sound stupid to the common man, but to the rich, it means a lot to them, and of a fact, this is just one of the stupid things the rich people spend more on, something they mostly don't need, and just as orpichukwu has already said, if they no longer needs it, they might decide to sell it to another crazy rich fellow, so that's just the reality.

And lastly, you also need to understand that most of this wealthy people sees money as nothing, because they have actually not faced what an average person usually face, so they spend money on things an average person will call stupid, just as this, so the truth of the matter is that, the rich, average and poor people all think differently.
For me I don't think it's only about the show of, most persons just attach value to what they like. for what it's worth, people who don't have that much of wealth too would want to do same thing if the opportunity presents it's self, so at some point too the money to gives the wealthy people the leverage to make people's passion come into fruition.

Sometimes people buy a painting of different inscription with millions of dollars which most people will see the painting as worthless stuff, However it doesn't show that they are wasting their money, they are buying things that are of value to them, the world may see it differently, but it doesn't change anything for the person that has bought it, because at the end of the day people will still have something to say regardless of the situation.

Arsenal won their match 3-0 and in the meantime Manchester City is winning 2-nil against Wolves.

So for the moment if there are no shocking results during the second half nothing will change after this evening and therefore another small step forward for Guardiola and the victory of yet another Premier League.

Liverpool is out of the running, City is currently second but with a game to play and therefore potentially at +2 compared to Arsenal.

I was thinking in the game between Manchester city and Wolverhampton, That wolves would have been a tough opponent team for Manchester City in today's match, but that isn't what I'm seeing, Already 3-0 in this game,  I doubt if wolves would bounce back in this game as Manchester City's dream of lifting the Premier league title isn't something that they wanna risk with any team that they come across and misss this ample opportunity in their hands and has continuing taking all 3 points home in their recent games since after that they missed their very opportunity in the Champions League competition.
The game would have been a tough one if the Referee didn't award that early penalty to Manchester city, for me I think the decision the Referee took was erroneous, because the wolves players didn't see the Manchester city player coming and he wanted to clear the ball out from his left, unfortunately the city player was on the ball too from the right side, mistakenly both of them had a clash and it was pointed on the wolves player that he was the one on the wrong side which for me critically looking at it was a wrong decision from the Ref.
232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 04, 2024, 01:47:28 PM
This will be an interesting match because Arsenal must win, otherwise they will be eliminated from the competition for the title.
Arsenal started this game as the stronger side, missed many chances to score more than one goal but could score just a goal from a penalty but it will not be enough because teams Like Bournemouth are difficult to win against by just a goal. The midfield of Arsenal with Odegarrd, Thomas Partey and Declan Rice is very strong, and has totally dominated the midfield, stopping most of the chances that Bournemouth may try to create. Arsenal needs to score another goal to make sure that this game is won, to maintain the pressure on Manchester City who will play later today too.
These set of arsenal players have made the defensive line of the team so sophisticated and solid for the ease of the attackers upfront, now it has gotten to a point where the arsenal team find it so easy to score goals no matter the opponent. for this Bournemouth game, i feel they where  doing more of the playing and  Arsenal where doing more of the scoring. I do enjoy arsenal consistency for these past few months as they've been on a winning spree week in week out. The Bournemouth game just ended 3-0 with Declan Rice scoring a beautiful one in the die minute of the game.

Let's watch out and see how the Manchester city game against wolves will pan out, I'm sincerely hoping it will either be a draw or a win for wolves which is unlikely but this is football anything can happen.
233  Economy / Economics / Re: Personal Financial Goals vs Government expectations! on: May 04, 2024, 01:22:23 PM
Have you ever thought about this, what we are trying to achieve in our personal financial life is completely diverge from what the government expects their citizens to do.

We as Individuals always thrive to achieve financial independence in our lives especially someone who is from the average middle person but what the government expects from the middle class is different and is kind of surprising when we give deep thought about it, The Government highly relies on the middle-class tax payers for the money and most of the taxes collected in the form of indirect taxes so that people may not actually aware that they are paying taxes for everything from their salary, fuel, medicine, anything everything has taxes that eat most our earnings.

So as a result we are paying from 10% to over 50% of our earnings just in the form of taxes in one or another way. So one who really wants to achieve financial independence should find a way to reduce their tax pay legally like how the businessmen do.

Or like the bald guy says, we need to find a way to exit the Matrix. Cheesy
Ordinarily as an individual in a middle class, you wouldn't feel much of the impact on the tax collected from you, because that is what is needed to keep the system functioning, especially for developed countries that has a functioning social structure.
If people decide to reduce the tax they pay, is more like saying there shouldn't be enough money for the government to use and run the system, because those are the revenue government collect to give us electricity, healthcare, and other infrastructure. However there are other ways of gaining financial independence.

Good morning my country people inside this morning, ona know say I partially dy new to this Bitcoin investment of a thing, na trading and mostly technical analysis I really dy conversant with before I come into this forum, because I dy trained in that craft and even till today, I dy use am dy see front most times, but e get one question wey since I come here, I never still get a clearer picture of, even after doing so many readings and finding inside this forum, so today I just say make I ask am officially if any one go fit throw more light on when is the best time to sell?

I know say some people get different kind of investment goals, so some people go only sell once their investment goal is met, some people na condition or emergencies dy force their hands to sell, while some people prefer to dy take only the profit on top, some dy sell only during the bull season and some people don even vow say Dem no go touch their holdings till 5-10 years time regardless of wether the investment go dy profitable or not, so in essence of all this is please, when is the best time to sell? I know say most snr men for here go dy reason am say i surpose know this thing, but as e be so, I no just know the best time to sell,  I don list out most of the scenario wey fit make person sell, but I no know which one be the best, abeg make ona enlightened me abeg.
Omo I feel say the sell totally dey dependent on the investor, investor fit dey one tight condition, way him need funds badly and maybe no option dey, so the next thing na for him to sell him coins to raise money.
Some people too fit still sell based on say them don hold for too long, so for them it's time to take their profit because of huge return on investment. Omo person no dey just dey sell him coins way him don dey hold for years, na except say something dey involved. So for me the selling dey solely on the individual differences.

All Liverpool fans of course have a great disappointment to see their club who have currently been eliminated from all existing championship competitions, Liverpool's only focus this season is just to keep the 3rd position still in their own and of course at the moment it may still look safe for them to play in the Champions League next season, Liverpool fans no longer expect much on their remaining games this season and I think for now of course the motivation to win is no longer in Liverpool current squad, for now the competition between Arsenal and Manchester City is of course very tight and we can be sure if the Premier League title this season will be determined until the last match of the Premier League.

The question mark at this time is why Liverpool's performance suddenly falls, because indeed since the season started we can see how consistent the performance Liverpool had at that time, but surprisingly they suddenly slumped when the season was about to end, for now of course Manchester City and Arsenal who are strong candidates to win the league this season must still be able to maintain their performance towards the end of the season because currently every The match will be crucial for both teams.
Everything is over for Liverpool in all competitions and they failed, but to be able to finish in the top 4, the Liverpool team is quite safe now, it is no longer possible to catch up with their points.

Now only Manchester City and Arsenal are competing for the title this season and I think it will be fierce until the last week of the season, Manchester City and Arsenal cannot draw or lose the remaining matches this season. If that happens then the chance to win the title will immediately disappear. .

For Liverpool's performance which dropped drastically at the end of the season when the competition for the title was fierce, I think because many of their main players were injured and also when the team was in a slump, their mentality was destroyed, making it difficult for the Liverpool team to get up until they finally lost everything, that's normal. for a football team I think.
I really feel sorry for Liverpool after jurgen kloof has said he will be retiring at the end of the season, I believe he wanted to win a trophy at least before he will go for the retirement. Now they have lost all their hope in winning any trophy. I think they should just struggle now to maintain their top four so that they can come for the champions League next season. It is very unfortunate that you cannot even pinpoint what is the tactical error that is going on with Liverpool at the moment that has brought them down to this extent, it will be a big job for the next person taking over the managerial role for Liverpool next season.

Recents events don cause users to doubt the credibility of the crypto exchange way them dey call Patricia. This wahala start from May 2023, when users come discover say them no fit withdraw money from the exchange. After much kasala for internet, na so Patricia come out come talk say them hack them. According to the CEO, then lose over $2million to the hack. Some people nor buy this story, them believe say nothing like hack happen. Na just the way the exchange won take do exit scam be that.

Even with all the story way we dey hear for internet, the CEO still dey reassure their users say the exchange go refund everybody their money back. So imagine the surprise when them come up with Patricia Token as repayment of the lost funds. This thing no just make sense at all. Which day Patricia Token won take get value? The whole thing just be like daylight robbery. Na say young entrepreneurs no dey fit manage large funds and companies? We see the same problem with FTX where company go dey bankrupt and the CEOs go still dey chop life with people money.

Just yesterday, e come be like say people darkest fear don come true as this tweet go viral about Patricia closing down.



Patricia don respond today to the allegations, them dey claim say na fake news and that they don come to stay.
Quote
Fejiro Hanu, the CEO of Nigerian crypto exchange Patricia, has denied rumors of its closure, calling them a media ploy for clicks and confirming that the exchange is still operating.

With all this things wey don happen, you go fit trust local exchanges? And wetin this one mean for other exchanges wey dey come up?



Omo Patricia don enter into so many scandal recently, I doubt if they will survive it, my pain is that, why are Nigeria made to suffer every time they support their own. I remember in PORT HARCOURT when Maxwell odum the CEO of MBA Forex did the same thing, he absconded with people funds and after convincing them to invest, e come be like na bad thing to patronise a fellow Nigerian for the tech industry.  A lot of us where really hoping Patricia will stand the test of time after so much publicity and even sponsoring Big Brother nija to help extend their clout, it's disappointing to say the least.

To some Chelsea fans they'd think they're playing UEL today but let's allow them take their shot against Tottenham that's if  the Blues can find a way to win this game and the remaining games at hand, who knows they might qualify for the Europa League next campaign.
We all know that Chelsea is nowhere close to being in the same level as Tottenham Hotspur this season and I believe Spurs are the bigger side in this encounter, talking base on their current form. Tottenham did their best against the Gunners but it wasn't enough to get all 3pt but going against a side that's not up to expectations is going to be an easy game for Ange Postecoglou but on second thought Chelsea are weak not while they play against the bigger teams in the EPL this season, you see them play out their best like they're among the top 3 teams on the log (if they go head to head with the big teams). I think is never going to be a walk over game for Spurs, it is either a draw or Spurs will use this game to make up for the Arsenal game by getting all 3pt.
I can't think that far ahead to see Chelsea winning the Europa League position for next season, especially since they will face Totenham in this match which is very likely to give them defeat. To be able to play in the European League or even in the Champions League, I think Chelsea can try next season, because this season they can't expect anything at all. The decline they have shown in the last few seasons makes me have big doubts about them.

Chelsea will host Tottenham, which is an advantage for them. However, it won't be that easy to beat Tottenham, because Tottenham have played better than Chelsea this season. It is also possible that this result will give them 1 point, or in other words the match will end in a draw. However, they can take advantage of the situation experienced by Tottenham in the last 2 matches where they lost. Morally, Tottenham might be disturbed by this defeat.

Well you're right but don't forget that Chelsea can develop that spirit of luck and maybe some how smuggle their way through, who knows these guys can even win all remaining game including this Tottenham Hotspur that seems to be difficult for them. I have that feeling that Chelsea have been doing everything possible not to be beaten by these big teams but find it hard to avoid defeat against the smaller side.
Never will it be difficult to beat Tottenham and same goes to Chelsea too, we shouldn't write the Blues off in this encounter and if I'm to predict I'd go for a draw. If it were when this fixture was fresh I'd say Chelsea would win but they haven't gotten any win in a long while so a draw is likely to happen. But anything that makes Chelsea to come out top in this encounter I see them getting close to Manchester United on the log.
There is no doubt about Chelsea developing a spirit of luck, I saw that in one of the legs they played against Manchester city and I think it ended a draw, however the Tottenham I saw who played against arsenal can be very unpredictable sometimes with their outburst, Chelsea on the other hand are in Stanford bridge which for me will play a major role for their advantage,  I really cannot pinpoint a winner looking at the both teams at the moment, maybe it will be a draw game this evening.
Chelsea's match with Tottenham cannot be limited to just predicting the results of the previous match and we need to predict more in this match, but I think that Chelsea has a slightly bigger advantage to be able to win because they are playing at home, they certainly won't let their club be embarrassed by Tottenham.
A draw might be possible, but looking at recent matches, Chelsea also had a more consistent performance, even though they lost once, but far better than Tottenham, who got worse results.
However, I am worried that Tottenham will put up more resistance when they know that so many Chelsea players are currently injured.
At some point you where right, Chelsea certainly had a bigger advantage which is the Stanford bridge, and they eventually used it. Tottenham had good chances, they just didn't make use of any, they even played better than their encounter with arsenal. There was a time in the game that i almost got angry with VAR, when chalobah scored that header and everybody waited for VAR conclusion before they restart the game, for me it was pointless, because nobody was standing offside, it was a set piece which Tottenham players were all at the back, people where almost panicking that the goal will be called of, thankfully it didn't happen.

For those criticising M.JACKSON, today he was in score sheet in a crucial match, I hope those critics will shower him encomium for that second goal.
238  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The fuel crisis issue in Nigeria and what I found out. on: May 02, 2024, 02:16:19 PM
I was able to make some inquiry as to why, we buy fuel at exorbitant amount and still yet the product is not available to buy.

There has been some lingering issue between the independent marketers, NNPC, NUPENG AND PENGASSAN.

on the side of government it is said that, government makes this product available on a subsidized rate, that is government, takes our crude oil overseas, refines it and sell it at a given price, which is officially 140 naira per litre to independent product marketers which in turn sell it at 150 to retailers, and retailers sell it 165 and. (official government rate).
 
Now here is the intriguing part

On a normal scenario, NNPC upon bringing this refined product to Nigeria, they are supposed to take it to the government owned depot, so that the government scheduled price will be implemented. But rather, NNPC takes this product to private depot and sell it at 180 naira, those private depot sell this product at 190 naira And above to retailers, that is why some retailers are selling around 200 and something Naira and above.

As at today, there is a memo by NNPC, that is going round, that the price of the product has increased to 185, it then means some of us will continue to buy this product at 200 and something Naira and above.

News like this is always the other if the day by our leaders but the truth remain that the NNPC is part of government and has presidential control if the president is not in connection with this kind of act I don't think it can happen all of this are trick use to estort the citizens and subject them inorder to made their way on the particular amount they desire to embezzled.

What then will be the case after being hard that they have decentralized the from the NNPC as private oil marketers can buy and sell on their rate which has even work out well as different suppliers are using the issue of subsidy to influence the cost of fuel, I see all this as politics many who find their way play to the detriment of the poor citizens, all one need is to stand out from certain financial barrier because things like this will always take place until curruption is totally reduce to certain percentage lower the what it's today.
Which was why I was vehemently against the Idea to let NNCP stand on its own as limited liability company, breaking them out from ministry of petroleum. All of these measures are to stifle the economy for the average Nigerian and set the stage ready for those in the upper echelon to continue to loot the system, the queues are back again, the price of PMS is 1k in some areas which is bad for an oil producing state like Nigeria.
Funny enough, I recently saw a video where a lady was complaining about this same fuel situation in 1994, that's to tell you that for over 30 years, we've not been able to sort out ourselves.
239  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 02, 2024, 01:59:47 PM
OK, the DIP is coming and it's NOW the time for YOU to PAY ATTENTION. For those who employ a DCA strategy, it's probably a good decision to start making your purchases bigger. For those who employ a Buy the DIP strategy, start placing your bids NOW. Currently, the 200-Weekly Simple Moving Average is at $34,200. Will it touch that line again? Probably not, but near that line has always been a good buying opportunity.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bitcoin bounced back to $56500 today creating a substantial opportunity for Bitcoin investors. As Bitcoin broke the $60,000 line and dropped to the $56,000 line, Bitcoin may fall to $50,000, making it a good time to invest for Bitcoin investors. For those who invest using the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) method, this is considered a dip market enough to invest in.

Though it's actually true that the price of Bitcoin can drop even further, considering the market sentiment, but as an investor that we are, I don't really think it's necessary analysing the market before we start buying, because every time is an opportunity to invest in Bitcoin, and as an investor that is accumulating Bitcoin through the DCA accumulating strategy, you are actually going to be the most benefactor because at some point during the accumulate journey, you may buy the lowest part of the deep, and even decide to buy aggressively during that period that the price was very down, as long as it doesn't affect you in financing your your day to day activities, but for those that are waiting only to buy at the deep, they are definitely going to miss a whole lot of buying opportunities, because the kind of deep they may be waiting for may not come again, so it's best to buy now.

And lastly, as a long term investor that we are, it's actually pointless paying too much attention to the price of Bitcoin every now and then, though it's very difficult to do, the best way to hold is for you to focus more on accumulating Bitcoin and stop paying too much attention to your current stash of holding, so that you won't be tempted to temper with it at some point.
Funny enough the DCA method is not only for when there is a dip, it's a method that allows you accumulate no matter the price range, There is no doubt about the fact that a dips allows you to buy or accumulator at cheap rate which is an advantage for most investors because they see it as an opportunity, but the DCA method encompasses all of that.

It is hard for investors not to always look at the price of their investment,  it is said that where your treasure lies, there will your heart be. So for me is a normal thing for most investors to regularly check on price fluctuation.
