I don't really know why people are all of a sudden discussing about Haaland potentially leaving City some years from now, it could prolly be because of his dad's comments a few days ago, but that wasn't a direct statement to indicate that Haaland won't be staying at City too long.

I fully agree....
In just over two months at Manchester City, Erling Haaland has already racked up many goals so that he has numbers above several other world football stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Haaland is scoring a lot of goals at an astonishing pace. I've been researching the data here so I don't get it wrong, and he scored no less than 17 goals in the first 11 games this season... I think Haaland at city is much better than he was at Borussia Dortmund or Salzburg.
He is a player who is certainly already starting to go down in football history.
haaland is lucky to be in man city, he has support from pep guardiola and a perfect winger-striker and midfield who supports him too. I agree with many people who say that Haaland is Man City's most successful purchase so far.
When Man City faced Copenghagen in the UCL follow-up match, Haaland scored 2 goals, I believe Haaland's selling price will continue to soar if he maintains his performance. there is news that madrid are preparing to buy haaland in the future, they are much more interested in haaland due to his outstanding form since he was at man city.

from this table --> https://bpip.org/Report?r=mostmerit. we can see that there are many accounts that earn more than 1000 merits (requirements to become legendary) but they don't stop contributing to the forum. they got it because they really have quality posts and also great minds.
in conclusion: achieving a legendary is the final achievement of an account set in this forum (rules set and recognized by all members and founders of this forum) but that's not the end to continuing to contribute to the forum.
2343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Parents And Their Children In Gambling.. on: October 05, 2022, 12:19:09 AM
I have 2 children, when I see them, I have high hopes that they will grow up to be responsible for themselves and not do anything negative. I disapprove of them if they spend their youth in nightclubs or casinos plus drunkenness and women.

being a parent is difficult, we are forced to be able to shape a child into a useful figure for society and family. from the case that happened to Jordan jr at the OP, it is very clear that he is following in the footsteps that his father left behind, he spent that much money (his parents' legacy) for something fictitious.

although I gamble but as much as possible I hide it from the children with my partner's support so that they are not inspired to do that because the school period is important and builds their character. but when they pass 21 years old, I can only say things they should do and not, that's if they still listen to me, but I still hope they will listen to it (my advice forever).

...

If you have to borrow money ( for BTC investment ) make sure the owner won't be needing the money too soon, also make sure you borrow the amount thats not or will never be a life threatening for you to repay if things go wrong.

from the story you tell, it looks like you borrowed money from relatives or friends who don't need the money in a short time. but for other people it's not easy, not everyone has friends or relatives who are willing to lend their money, so most people borrow from banks or moneylenders.
indeed we can't say that borrowing money to invest in bitcoin is 100% stupid but it comes back to each other's decisions, if you are really ready with the risk you will accept then do the loan to invest in bitcoin but if you are not ready to take the risk that you are likely to receive, don't do that loan.

this is a scary story. why is it important to be anonymous? it's to avoid crimes like this!

Many people don't realize when they flaunt something they have on social media or in real life, it catches the attention of those around them. In addition to the crimes that arise, jealousy and envy will certainly arise from those who hear the news of the show-off.

my father is a wise man, when I was in school he always told me that everyone has different luck, don't show off your luck, those who are lucky will definitely make you the object of their frustration and maybe will try to snatch your luck (rob or kill you).

Going back a bit, I once asked my professor what 'do your own research' meant and I got a pretty simple answer that made me think a little hard; it is "never invest in a business, but invest in the person/group that runs the business".
Here I understand that no matter how good and potential the business is, if those who manage it are not competent, the results will be bad. you also mention about community and that I think is true. a competent developer must be able to balance the community they work with and behave as professionally as possible.
2352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be Palestine's currency of freedom?? on: September 30, 2022, 06:41:21 PM
El Salvador made bitcoin the official currency and I'm guessing they're regretting it now. Yes, bitcoin offers you a lot of freedom and space. But unfortunately, it can make your economy weaker with its variable price.
Before the Palestinian state proposed a crypto currency, El Salvador had already legalized bitcoin and had made bitcoin a legal currency in their country, El Salvador had legalized bitcoin for over a year in their country but their country's economy was still weak and even fell worse from before they legalized crypto currency,

what el salvador expects from legalizing bitcoin as legal tender in their country; is to attract investors to enter their country, but investors are reluctant to invest in that country because they see something else, investors need interesting things to increase their interest in investing in el salvador.

now Palestine is also proposing to make bitcoin the currency of freedom in their country, indeed this is being a fierce debate, some say if they use bitcoin as the currency of freedom in their country, then they can be free from the Israeli population, there are also those who argue that using bitcoin as freedom money in Palestine will not be affected by anything about the war with the state of Israel.

Regarding Palestine, we all know that currently they are still at war with Israel, besides that the infrastructure in Palestine is also very bad, accepting Bitcoin as a legal tender there will only make the trust of the countries that donate to them decrease.
the Palestinian government must have had a discourse on the future of bitcoin in their country but matters related to politics and infrastructure are their biggest obstacles, it's like a double-edged knife if they accept bitcoin as a legal tender at this time.
2353  Economy / Economics / Re: Education on: September 30, 2022, 03:49:55 PM
Education is not the only key to success anymore, then we all be believe that, if we don't go to school, we can't make it, the country is something else, we should find all means to be a successful person in life, education is good, but we have to find all means to make it, country which a graduate is riding bike, someone that spend thousands of naira to go to the school, is now riding bike, imagine,

So is always good to invest in once self, than working under someone, which you won't have time for yourself,

Just an advise

the advice you say is very good but we come back to the sentence everyone has their own fortune and life it's not an exact science. I have a neighbor who is 60 years old, he is a successful person who did not finish high school but because he is good at trading, he is able to succeed with his trading skills. currently, he has 7 supermarkets that have quite a lot of customers.
our parents teach their children that only people who go to school will be successful so we study hard but over time, the reality of life will make us realize that what makes a person rich is not high education but ability, smart work, experience, and also the person's determination that will make him successful.

If Pogba cannot contribute optimally when on the field then this will be a nightmare for Juventus because they have already paid a lot and have already relied on Pogba to get the win, at least the Juventus management and coach should consider this to get new players who can replace Pogba with almost the same skill as pogba so when pogba gets injured again they already have a substitute ready.
The news about Pogba's replacement when he was injured actually appeared before the transfer window closed but Juventus seemed reluctant to do that because they still hoped for Pogba to recover from his injury even though they had to wait for 5 months for Pogba to recover (since Pogba was injured).

...
I don't think Pogba can return to his best form. His performance with Manchester United was very poor. He has consistently continued his poor performance. We don't see any improvement in Pogba's performance despite the Manchester coach giving him plenty of opportunities. Now he has suffered injuries before performing with Juventus. Pogba will have to work hard to get back into form. But I think he is not diligent. If he was diligent, he would not have been out of form for so long.
it is clear that when pogba was at Manchester United he was not happy even last year he was rumored to be going to PSG but that didn't happen. in terms of age i don't see that is the reason for the decline in pogba's performance, it seems that what you say is true that he has turned into a lazy, it seems juve will be disappointed with him.

If Atletico Madrid don't manage to enter the title race in this season as well then I think that Simeone might decide to leave the team for real this time.

Honestly I would like to see Atletico Madrid being managed by a different manager after all these years. He has been working here since December 2011. I believe that it might be already time for them to make some substantial changes in the team to see if they get better than this. Because this team have a bigger potential than this. They have really decent players in the squad now and they can play much more effective in attacking. They shouldn't play a very controlled game most of the time as it is really risky.

If you look at the achievements of Atletico Madrid that Simeone has given since he first joined, it is only natural that the management does not intend to replace his position as coach, besides that he is also a former Atletico Madrid player.
Even though he has never won the UCL, Simeone has twice brought Atletico Madrid to the UCL final despite failing. this shows that he still has a few more years to go as he continues to hone his skills so that Atletico Madrid can win even more trophies in the future.
many examples of coaches who are only loyal to one team and over time make the team stronger, hopefully he will bring ATM to be like that and make a big surprise this season.

Fulham will face an opponent who is in their 5 matches without a win, Newcastle. This should be a match that Fulham can win if you look at the trend of this opponent. Another advantage is that they will play this match at their own home which will make Fulham more confident in front of their own supporters. Fulham themselves have not been consistent and they have had ups and downs in every game, but this week it looks like they will give me the advantage.

Fulham last 5 matches - 5 wins & 2 losses
Newcastle's last 5 matches - 4 draws & 1 loss

from this, it is clear that fulham is a pretty tough team. while the head-to-head between newcastle vs fulham also shows that fulham dominates;

Quote
11-03-2017 Newcastle 1 : 3 Fulham
12-05-2019 Fulham 0 : 4 Newcastle
22-12-2018 Newcastle 0 : 0 Fulham
19-12-2020 Newcastle 1 : 1 Fulham
23-05-2021 Fulham 0 : 2 Newcastle

it's hard for Newcastle to win in this match. I'm actually quite surprised by the Newcastle owner as if he doesn't really care about his team, even the quality of the players tends to be normal.

We are not sure how well Pogba can play with Juventus. He managed just 15 assists and 5 goals in the last 3 seasons with Manchester United. We cannot expect good performance from such an irregular person. Juventus management should have included more regular midfielders in the team.
The arrival of Pogba makes people very excited to see his performance again although while playing at Manchester United he has failed to adapt and spend his time with poor performance but some fans hopes he can playing well again in this team but indeed it will took time to him reach to top performance again moreover he got long injured before and usually after return from injured some of players cannot showed their best performance again but it's too early to judge him because Pogba even still not made his debut yet
since the arrival of paul pogba back to Juventus, I'm sure he will disappoint a lot of fans, and that's a little proven because he's only played a few times he immediately injured his meniscus, For Juve fans, don't expect much from Pogba.
I really wonder what happened with pogba, he was a great player before his second season with Manchester United, I'm not sure he will return to his best form when he was with juventus a few years ago.
2359  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Patriarchy in Iran on: September 28, 2022, 06:35:18 PM
Yes, women shouldn't be forced to wear certain clothes. In my opinion, a country must undergo changes internally before it can undergo external changes. A majority of Iranian reformists are committed to ending the mandatory Islamic dress code for women that has been in effect since 1983, which is some satisfying news.

In September 16, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, died while in the custody of Iranian morality police charged with enforcing the code. After Amini's death, protests erupted, resulting in many deaths and injuries. As everyone has a right to live in his own way, I don't call it protest.

Quote
Mahsa Amini's entourage was suddenly confronted by the moral police, as reported by Sky News, Sunday (25/9/2022). “When they saw Mahsa and the others, they called her hijab incorrect. Ashkan tries to explain to them that they are not in their hometown, and are foreigners in Tehran, so please consider that and beg not to be taken away," said Mortezaei. “Police officers sprayed pepper on Ashkan's face and forced Mahsa into the van and took him to the moral police station.” Arriving at the police station, Mahsa Amini started to lose her sight and fainted. He was then rushed to the hospital. “There are reports from Kasra hospital (in Tehran) saying effectively by the time he reached the hospital he was already dead from a medical point of view. He suffered a concussion from a blow to the head."

Reportedly the victims of this demonstration have more than 35 people, international participation is really needed in the struggle of women there. things related to women are often not given much attention because the concept of patriarchy is still the mindset of the majority, especially those who come from the middle east.
their struggle is very noble imo because they fight for freedom, not food.
2360  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is good leadership enough to fight corruption? on: September 28, 2022, 06:07:54 PM
I am asking based on the country where i come from. It's sad to say no one cares about doing it right anymore, everyone is carried away by what the stand to gain, their immediate benefit not minding the impact in the near future.

In a country where everyone is been monetised and selfishly driven will good governance be enough to fight corruption. I ask this because it has gone beyond the sphere of the political stakeholder as it dwells even in the cabal of almost every citizen. making good governance will require stepping on toes.

By 2023 there will be a transition of power and if the choice of the people eventually emerges as the winner, following the current state of an entire country i ask will good leadership be enough to fight corruption in a country where everyone is corrupt?

My question is, do you believe that those who are fighting corruption will not be corrupt when they get this position because, in many corrupt countries, corruption has become a culture that is hard to get rid of.

-> there are only 2 ways to stop corruption, the first is the death penalty and the second is social punishment;
- The death penalty for corruptors has been implemented by the governments of Vietnam, China, and Iran, regarding the impact of course it is quite effective because they managed to do it hard.
- while social punishment, it seems that other countries are trying to implement it but it is not very effective because this social punishment does not affect the people closest to the corrupt, such as their wives and children.

It is not easy for a government official to be free from corruption because the pressures of life and the temptation of abundant wealth often make people forget that the corruption they are doing is wrong. all we can do is keep praying that the next elected leaders are not corrupt.
