I think I also agree with you, and I agree with the fact that if Arsenal is able to beat Manchester City in their forthcoming match, that shouldn’t give them the feeling that they can win every other match that comes their way. Although the truth of the matter is, if Arsenal can win over Manchester City, it will be a huge relief for the club as a whole and increase their chances of winning the Champions League trophy. at the same time, if they start feeling that defeating one of their biggest contenders has given them the capacity to win all other matches, they may relax, which could lead to complacency and eventual failure.

So, Arsenal needs to stay focused and put in as much effort in the upcoming matches as they did against Manchester City. They shouldn’t take any chances by relaxing or assuming that because they’ve beaten Manchester City, no other club can defeat them. That mindset will only lead to failure, and I agree with you.

For anyone out there asking why someone with no source of income or job should not gamble, I’ve got answers for you. First and foremost, if you are poor and you don’t have any sustainable source of income, you shouldn’t try to gamble because gambling is a win or lose game and it deals so much with people’s psychology. You don’t want to mess up your own psyche or your mental health in the name of losing something you barely have. So, if you cannot afford to lose something that is so vital to you, then you shouldn’t start gambling in the first place. That is one.

Secondly, for those who have a lot of money, they can afford to allocate only a small portion of their income to gamble. As we mentioned earlier, although gambling is a challenging game, it can be regarded as a form of entertainment, something you do for fun. Therefore, you should only gamble with disposable income, not with money you worked hard to earn. Thirdly, you should only gamble with a small amount of money that you have in your pocket or purse, as you don’t want to risk losing everything. Therefore, it’s not advisable for anyone with little or no income to gamble with the little money they have at their disposal.

I think Leverkusen is one of the best clubs right now for anyone to celebrate, and I’m saying this because the fact that they have done exceptionally well in this particular season can never be overstated. Currently, Bayer Leverkusen is 10 points ahead of Bayern Munich, who are second in the league table standings, and there are roughly 7 matches left for the club to play. Yet, I don’t see any of those matches being so challenging for them. So, they have done well, and I think they will be going home with a trophy as far as the Bundesliga is concerned.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich has Arsenal to face in the Champions League quarter-finals, and that is another opportunity for Bayern Munich to pull up their strength and energy to win. If they are able to win that, they would be guaranteed a semi-final spot, bringing them a step closer to the bigger prize, the Champions League. Another good point to mention is that Bayer Leverkusen will definitely appear in the next season’s Champions League, which adds an interesting aspect. We’ve also seen clubs like Girona, who have performed well in their own leagues, likely to also feature in the Champions League. These are the kinds of competitions that we advocate for in the history of football.

Bayern Munich needs Harry Kane as much as possible in the upcoming Champions League quarterfinal match because they must maintain their guard at all costs to defeat Arsenal. Arsenal is currently performing exceptionally well in the English league and the Champions League, so Bayern Munich will need to put in a considerable effort to emerge victorious.

The team must bring together all their top players, train them rigorously, and prepare thoroughly for the match. In the event that Harry Kane remains absent, the coach has a responsibility to unite the team and ensure they are well-prepared to play effectively without him. It’s crucial to fill any gaps left by his absence and not allow vulnerabilities to arise. Bayern Munich needs to optimize their strategy to secure a win in the upcoming Champions League match.

For these Champions League predictions, I’ve assessed the chances of each team to be roughly 50-50 for virtually all the quarterfinalists. Although teams like Atletico Madrid and Dortmund may be less likely to reach the final, other teams appear to be in good form based on their performances.

It’s challenging to predict which teams will make it to the final, including Real Madrid. so, all the teams need to be at their best in terms of performance, working hard to overcome their respective challenges in their leagues.

Take Arsenal, for example, currently tied with Liverpool at 64 points and just aBove Manchester City at 63. Arsenal faces the challenge of defeating Manchester City in their league game and then coming back to win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal. There’s a lot of responsibility on Arsenal right now, and Mikel Arteta needs to play a pivotal role in the club’s success. So, for now, the chances seem evenly split for at least 80% of the clubs in the quarterfinals.

Well, I don't think we should underestimate Arsenal so easily, which seems to be the prevailing sentiment here. Many believe that Arsenal may struggle against Manchester City in the upcoming 31st match. But, it's essential to recognize that Arsenal has every opportunity to win their match, and much of the responsibility falls on the players and the manager. They need to capitalize on whatever advantages and opportunities they have to secure victory against Manchester City.

The absence of Kevin De Bruyne and others is another advantage for Arsenal. Looking back at their past matches, Arsenal has demonstrated some strength against Manchester City, often managing to score against them, even if only by a narrow margin. Therefore, I anticipate a similar outcome.

As things stand, I would predict Arsenal to emerge victorious in that match unless Manchester City can prove otherwise, which I don't foresee happening, especially given their current midfield vulnerabilities. It's up to Arsenal to identify and exploit these weaknesses effectively.

You see, my stance is always on the need to halt such practices. Putting someone who is already wealthy on a lifetime wage isn't necessary. Some might argue that a governor cannot be expected to be poor after leaving office and needs a sustainable income. However, I disagree.

We must face reality. Many governors are already financially secure. We need to reduce the financial burden of governance. Despite calls to cut costs, we continue to allocate significant funds to governance. Governance often receive the highest budget allocations.

Governor Alex Otti's actions in Abia State were commendable but not every government can follow suit. We see former governors transitioning to roles like senators post-office, yet we still provide them with lifetime salaries, cars, and more. While some rewards may be appropriate, offering lifetime salaries in Nigeria's struggling economy is unjustifiable.

For me, gender alone isn't a determining factor in choosing someone to lead my business. What matters most to me is the person's experience. However, in some cases, businesses may require gender-specific roles.For example, if I were to invest in a marketing firm, I might prefer a woman as the chairperson because I believe women excel in marketing. There may be certain roles within the business that are more suited to men. Gender doesn't have a significant impact on my decision-making process. What's crucial for any business is shared experience and a high level of resilience.

Experience is the true teacher of life and it shapes the way you think or analyze things When you gain experience, you start to look beyond the horizon and analyze things more effectively. You can also put things into better perspective. Experience has taught us that there are always two sides to every incident, and there's no clear-cut answer until it's been experimentally and fact-checked. Therefore, it's essential to keep learning in life because life is all about learning. As you learn, you acquire more knowledge and can make better decisions. There are three aspects to making decisions: hindsight, insight, and foresight. You use your hindsight (the past) to make decisions with your insight (the present), which allows you to foresee the results or the future of the decisions you've made.

As a young person, it is extremely difficult to save money because, as you mentioned rightly, you are not earning much to invest or save for another day. What you earn from your labor is not commensurate with your expenditures on basic needs. So you end up earning money, but it doesn't hold much value, and it's often used to pay debts. I have been in this situation for a long time since I started managing my finances.

There are different pressing issues around me that require immediate attention, and even when I attempt to save, something important comes up that requires the money. So, it's challenging and almost impossible to save as a young person due to these reasons.

I think there are many facets to this discussion, but what you did is an underlying statement to everything that is going on with the African economy and African culture at large. Unfortunately, we Africans have allowed much infiltration by Europeans into the continent, and what they were able to take from us since then up to today is our natural resources. What we were able to take from them in return is mainly their language, and not much more than that.

Unlike in Asia, where they were able to impact them positively, Asia received civilization from them while preserving its culture. The only thing they took from Asia was remnants of the civilization they brought, as well as some natural resources. But the responsibility lies with our leaders, even from way back.

We had leaders who were ready to sell off our treasury in exchange for benefits from our colonial masters. That's why slave trade was common in Africa, and most Africans after the slave trade era were dumped in what was known as the free town, which is why it's called Freetown today.

Our leaders have continued to remain the same. Few of them have changed, but the ambitious nature of our leaders, ready to negotiate anything for power at the expense of the masses, is still prevalent today in Africa. That's why they were able to colonize us in the colonial period, in the medieval era, and still able to neocolonize us in the modern era. Not many African leaders are challenging the status quo or preserving our cultural heritage.

We've also had situations where most of our idols were taken by those people at very low prices, only to be sold back to Africans at very expensive prices. We need to create a turning point for ourselves, and the change begins with our leaders. They need to take leadership seriously, seeing it beyond a business enterprise and putting the nation's interest above their personal interest.

By having leaders who lead by example and prioritize national interests, we can have a continent free from the shackles of colonization, which would reflect immediately on our economy. Our leaders need to come together, brainstorm, and put their ideas together to succeed as a continent. Movements like the African Union need to be revitalized to hold our economies together before we can thrive as a nation or continent at large.

As Maitama Sule said, "Any people that leave their culture or abandon their culture will lose their respect and identity. Any people that try to emulate an alien culture will end up being a poor caricature of what they are trying to copy. They will be out of source everywhere, at home nowhere."

Every team left in the Champions League quarterfinals is outstanding. I don't want to single out or favor any team in terms of performance. But clubs like Arsenal have done remarkably well to maintain their first position in the Premier League while also advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals. That's a testament to their strong decision-making and hard work.

PSG has excelled by securing the top position in their league and yet advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals. Real Madrid, as another example, has shown impressive performance in La Liga, leading the table standings while also reaching the quarterfinals of the UCL. These clubs deserve commendation for their efforts.

If I had to choose among these clubs, I would prefer Arsenal to win because of their prolonged quest for the UCL title. Despite their efforts, they haven't been able to secure it yet. If they were to win this time, it would be a cause for celebration among Arsenal fans and football enthusiasts worldwide which marks a significant milestone for the club this year.

Well, as someone still relatively young, I don't anticipate being alive by then, considering I'm currently 24. When you add 24 to 115, it equals 139 or 140. I doubt I'll still be alive by then, and even if I am, I may not understand or see value in investing in anything at that point. Just for the record, I'd probably be the oldest by then if I'm still around. So Bitcoin may not hold much significance for me at that time. it may be more relevant to my children, grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren.

However, one advantage I'll have by then is the knowledge of Bitcoin. That's why I'm grateful for the exposure I have to Bitcoin now. Whether I live to that period isn't my main concern. I still have many years ahead of me, and the decisions I make today will shape my future. Therefore, I've decided to start investing some money into Bitcoin this year. After making this decision, I've also resolved not to touch those funds for the next 30 years. It's an experiment of sorts, to see how the value of Bitcoin evolves from this year to three decades later. If I'm still alive by then, I'll return to this platform to share my experiences and the worth of Bitcoin from today to that future date.

I don't think Pep Guardiola is ready to release Kevin De Bruyne anytime soon, especially considering that the player's contract will be ending in 2025. We can be quite certain that he will remain in Manchester City until then. Pep Guardiola has mentioned in his recent comments, as reported by Goal.com, that he would not influence the player's decision to leave. Guardiola stated that he would not interfere with Kevin De Bruyne's departure unless the player himself decides to leave. It seems that De Bruyne may wish to stay in the club and retire at the Etihad Stadium, but, the decision lies with the player. It's also worth noting the interest shown by MLS and SPL in the talented player as they have indicated their interests for him after he leaves the Premier League.

I also enjoyed the the way the league is going with the close range of performance experienced by the three biggest teams in the league. Arsenal is interested in winning this league's championship since they are leading now but Manchester City and Liverpool are also not giving up, both clubs fighting to move to the top, particularly Liverpool wanting to reclaim their previous position as the first place of the table standing.

But all the three teams have no reason to be confident on which of them to win. So every team is holding it's strength to be more strong and more result oriented. The victory is also in the hands of the managers including Mikel Arteta, Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp who has led the Liverpool to the UCL championship finals and was able to secure them a win in the 2019 champions league, since he came to the club in 2015.

This is true, most of the matches, if not all in the Champions league quarterfinals will be unpredictable and an example is between Manchester City and Real Madrid. When you take a reflect at the last fixtures both team had, Manchester City have been more consistent with winning over Real Madrid, including the last game both team played together which Manchester City scored 4 goals over none of the Real Madrid.

But when you relate those matches with the current performance of both teams, Real Madrid is already at the very top of the table standing making them the leading club of the league. Whereas Manchester City is still battling at the 3rd position of its league. If you are to judge by the present performance of these clubs, you will suggest more that Real Madrid has more chances.

I may not be entirely correct, but I believe Real Madrid has built a stronger club compared to Barcelona. By stronger, I mean Real Madrid has been more successful in branding and marketing to generate revenue for the club. This is an aspect where I think Barcelona has fallen short in comparison to Real Madrid.

As a club, it's crucial to explore alternative revenue streams to bolster finances, which can then be utilized for player acquisitions. Barcelona certainly has financial resources, but Real Madrid appears to excel in branding and marketing strategies which allows them to purchase players more effectively both for the present and the future.

Since the departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona, there has been a noticeable gap in the club, although they haven't performed poorly. Real Madrid has also capitalized on their star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, to generate substantial revenue. These strategies provide clubs with the means to acquire not only star players but also promising talents who can contribute both immediately and in the long term. As for effective scouting processes, it is essential for both clubs to identify suitable players which means a meticulous approach to scout for aplayer , and I feel like Real Madrid is likely to maintain an edge over Barcelona, not only in the current season but also in the seasons to come.

Okay, let me use the scenario of a driver and passengers to explain the true situation we're facing in the country, so we can understand who needs to solve our problems as Nigerians. This will also show that the bulk of the responsibility lies with our leaders and not just the citizens. Imagine a scenario where you have a driver and passengers. The driver controls the steering, direction, and speed of the vehicle, while the passengers rely on the driver to transport them to their destinations.

Now, if the driver lacks adequate knowledge or chooses not to use the right knowledge to navigate the vehicle in the correct direction, how can the passengers reach their destination? This is the role of leadership in every society. Our leaders are like our drivers, they have the power, knowledge, and tools to drive our economy. If our leaders fail to take the necessary steps to address issues and stabilize the country, we cannot expect stability from the citizens alone. Most of the time, citizens are like passengers and they rely on the decisions and actions of their leaders.

Our leaders must take the right steps and decisions to solve our problems. For example, some public analysts have suggested price controls on commodities sold in the country. However, how can there be price control when the government fails to alleviate the effects of hardships and price hikes on imports and transportation? These issues are interconnected. When transportation costs increase, marketers or product owners have no choice but to raise their prices to make a profit, however small.

It's only the government that can address inflation and price hikes especially in fuels used for transportation and agricultural inputs needed by farmers for increased production. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a country where leaders operate on a trial-and-error model, which hasn't yielded the desired results for our nation.

Wow, this is an interesting topic to talk about, especially for those of us who attended the Nigerian education system. All three points you mentioned — overpopulation, outdated curricula, and the lack of infrastructure — are valid. It's like a nostalgic moment for me to remember how one lived through the school system as a typical Nigerian.

Firstly, let's talk about overpopulation. Every student who attended a conventional university in Nigeria can easily relate to the issue of overpopulation in schools. Classrooms that should accommodate 30 students end up being filled with 200 students, and halls meant for 200 or 300 students end up accommodating over a thousand. Some students have no seats and end up standing by windows and doors just to attend lectures. The lack of electricity further complicates the situation, creating a stuffy and uncomfortable learning environment. This not only affects students' health but also their ability to focus and learn effectively.

For science students like myself, lectures are sometimes held in laboratories instead of using them for practicals. Labs have been converted into lecture rooms, forcing students to inhale chemicals stored there. Combined classes in labs exacerbate the situation leading to overcrowded and polluted environments. It's disheartening to witness such conditions.

Outdated curriculum is another issue that students can easily relate to. In science classes, I often found myself searching online to update my knowledge because the information in lecture books was outdated. Recent discoveries from the early 2000s were missing from the curriculum leaving us the students with obsolete information.

Also, the lack of new constructions or classroom expansions means there's no reequipping of facilities either. Science students are forced to use outdated equipment like conical flasks, microscopes, and skeletal systems that have been in use for over a decade. The absence of these modern equipment  have affected us in solving real world problems because we lack access to updated tools like electrical microscopes which makes us struggle to keep up with developments in our fields. These kinds of challenges have hindered the quality of education in our universities and calls for the need to be addressed urgently.

Like you mentioned earlier, stating that Inter Milan has been unbeaten throughout the season is true because Inter Milan has only lost one out of all the matches they've played so far and drew in four of those matches. With that kind of performance, you wouldn't expect them to lose more games. Also, consider the gap between Inter Milan and AC Milan, who are the runners-up in the table standings now. Then, they all have roughly less than 10 matches to go to end this season. So, what magic are AC Milan and Juventus going to pull off at this point to win and take the Serie A championship? The same energy that Inter Milan has been using to reach this point, I believe will be what they will continue to use. So, all I'm thinking is that AC Milan would love to maintain the second position they are currently holding, while Juventus also wants to maintain the third position or even move ahead of AC Milan. I see the context more as a battle for the runner-up position between AC Milan and Juventus rather than competing for the first position.
