Well, I don't think that matters much. Whether they are playing at the Etihad Stadium doesn't really matter, especially considering the last match Arsenal had with Manchester City at City's home, which resulted in a two against five defeat that Arsenal inflicted upon Manchester City. So even though they were playing at City's home, Arsenal was able to beat them in their last fixture togetherr, as a competition.

Thus, this match shouldn't be any different, especially when Arsenal, at this point, is eager to utilize all the powers, knowledge, and strategies they have to maintain their number one position in the league standings. So their major target at this point would be whatever it takes to be strong and ensure they score a goal. Additionally, Arsenal would do better if they strive to score a goal in the first half. Let Arsenal make the first goal, regardless of how it happens, so that Arsenal will have more strength and energy to strike even more. I've realized that whenever Arsenal scores two goals consecutively, they gain the energy to keep scoring more goals, unlike if they are allowed to be defeated in the first place. Therefore, that should be Arsenal's target at this moment.


I see this as one of the reasons why Arsenal must not joke with any fixtures they have in the remaining couple of games as a club. They currently have all the opportunities at their disposal to secure the league title, especially since they are at the top of the table. Therefore, they need to focus on defending their position by striving to score more goals and avoiding defeats. The responsibility lies on the manager, the players, and the fans at large to maintain high morale for Arsenal by showing up and supporting them in the remaining games.

I share the same sentiment as you regarding the upcoming match between Barcelona and PSG. Just as you believe Barcelona has a higher chance of winning, a PSG fan would also have high expectations from PSG to triumph over Barcelona. It's undoubtedly going to be a tough competition where one team must emerge victorious. When I judge by the current performance of both clubs in their respective leagues, PSG may seem to have the upper hand. However, considering their history together, Barcelona might hold a very tiny advantage. Ultimately, the outcome will be determined by who performs better on that day. Regardless of our current predictions, the result remains uncertain. As you mentioned earlier, the first leg will provide more insights into which team is likely to prevail, and that's what we'll be eagerly awaiting.

With all the available information, Inter Milan seems to be the champions already, as they are well ahead at the top of the table. AC Milan, who are second, are over 10 points behind, and Juventus, in third place, are three points below AC Milan. For many reasons, AC Milan would like to maintain their second position and avoid losing any subsequent matches. Although there is a slim possibility that AC Milan could overtake Inter Milan if they miss all their next matches and AC Milan wins, it's unlikely at this point in the season.

Secondly, AC Milan has a higher chance of winning their next match against their opponent. I've taken the time to review their previous matches together, and it's clear that AC Milan has more strength and is stronger than their opponent. So, AC Milan just needs to replicate what they've done in their successful matches and continue to secure more points before the end of the season.

And right now, I'm even worried for Girona ahead of their next match with BELTIS. Considering their previous fixtures with BELTIS, winning against them during this uncertain period is going to be a tough task. That's why I agree with the advice for them to step up their game now. Girona cannot afford to miss out on the next Champions League tournament, and the fans wouldn't take it lightly either. They need to work hard and show the dexterity and consistency they've been capable of since the beginning.

Currently, Girona sits at the third position in the LaLiga table standings, but they could move up to second if they win their next match. So they really need to give it their all, even if it means having more training sessions. They should deploy every necessary tactic and expertise to win their next match and secure that second position. Given all that Girona has achieved this season, they deserve the best, if not the LaLiga championship, at least qualification for the next Champions League. This would be a way for them to improve further. Ultimately, they have exceeded our expectations, and they can achieve even more with consistent effort.

I almost agree with your opinion, although it's challenging to achieve, given the intricacies involved. Based on my study of the scenario, I believe Vladimir Putin would never agree to NATO's establishment in Ukraine. He perceives NATO as spies infiltrating the country, which is why he's seemingly against it.

In my view, Ukraine should refrain from arming itself and realize that international support, even from NATO members, may wane, leaving each country to fend for itself. The countries involved in the conflict have their own national interests at heart, rather than a genuine concern for Ukraine's peace.

Therefore, Ukraine must make diplomatic decisions and avoid escalating tensions, as resorting to arms will only worsen the situation. Ukraine being able to win over Russia would be akin to the David and Goliath story.

The moment you mentioned knowledge, it struck a chord with me. It surpasses everything when it comes to learning or making life decisions. For me, decision-making is critical at every juncture of our lives because events do unfold that requires us to choose between right and wrong, thereby influencing outcomes positively or negatively. Our decision-making is heavily influenced by our environment.

People who live in negative environments tend to make poor decisions, while those in conducive environments with enriched mindsets make better ones. This goes to underscore the importance of knowledge, which transcends external factors. Internally, we need to enrich ourselves with knowledge to be able to stay updated and in tune with the current practices.

When you are faced with something unfamiliar, seeking knowledge through questions or research is key. Never make decisions blindly; as the adage goes, "nobody is an island of knowledge." Being able to ask pertinent questions, understanding situations, and seeking guidance from those with experience are vital for mastery in any endeavor or skill acquisition.

This is why I still find investments in Cryptocurrencies and Stablecoins as some of the best alternatives to the traditional savings at this seemingly unstable economic crisis around the world especially for someone coming from a country with poor financial and economic growth over this few years.

Africa is still battling with trying to have a control over there domestic and foreign markets especially it's currencies value so whenever there's tilt in the global market trend, it easily affects African countries more than any other because majority of its markets are premature and are consumption markets instead of production markets. Hence, the reason for the unstable market and inflation

Insecurity, corruption, and all the things wey you mention no be only Nigeria own. E no be Nigerian matter alone. For fact, many countries, including African ones and Asia, dey suffer pass Nigeria. When you talk about insecurity, no place dey wey dey face insecurity wey dey destroy people life like Palestine, Gaza, and other places. Nobody dey take any drastic action or measures to solve those problems.

War no dey too far from some places like Ukraine, and so far, no solution don come. For Africa, countries like Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger dey face crisis too and you fit only talk say Nigeria dey do better pass dem as far as insecurity dey concern us. Not many people fit talk am but even United States dey face serious domestic insecurity.

Because of this, gun violence dey happen and e don dey almost too much as hundreds of thousands don die within one year and e no look like say their government fit bring long-term solution to those crises. You fit dey for safe place but still dey fear say pesin go come out with gun and start to shoot anyhow because e dey depressed.

So e no be something wey dey peculiar to Nigeria alone. We fit solve our problem for our own country. Government sabi wetin dem need to do to solve all this internal security issues and dem just need to do am and stop to dey play politics around am.

E no too hard to solve these problems but na hard decision wey government need to make to stop the corruption for the system wey selfishness cause so that peace, unity, happiness, victory, and every other good thing fit return to the land.

Well, gambling can never become boring for someone who is already psychologically attached to it, indicating that the person is already addicted to the behavioral addiction of gambling.

That's why it's often advised for people to avoid becoming addicted to it as much as possible. In my opinion, the best approach to gambling, which I'll continue to advocate for unless my opinion changes, is moderation. This helps prevent individuals from falling into the trap of using gambling to harm themselves and their financial well-being.

It's important to prioritize health, financial stability, and living within one's means. That's why it's crucial for people who are financially vulnerable to avoid gambling altogether.

I mentioned earlier that if we consider the performance of clubs in their respective leagues, such as Arsenal's performance in the Premier League, then Arsenal's chances of winning against Bayern Munich are quite high. However, things don't always go as expected. Arsenal currently sits at the top of the league table, and it's not just luck that got them there; it's been a result of hard work and consistency.

If Arsenal can maintain that same level of hard work and resilience against Bayern Munich, they shouldn't find it too difficult to secure a victory. However, in quarter-finals like this, no club is expected to have an easy ride. Every club is fighting tooth and nail to win and advance to the next stage, which would be the semi-finals. Nonetheless, we'll have to wait and see how the game unfolds.


If you ask me, I'd say my hopes are with Arsenal, and I want them to win the UCL this time around because they have all it takes to do so. Arsenal has assembled yet another great team of players, including the likes of Saka Deyemi, Trossard, Martinelli, Jesus, and others who are performing exceptionally well for the club. It's a promising lineup of young players who are passionate about winning and bringing victory home.

This presents another opportunity for Arsenal to fulfill their longstanding dream of winning the European Champions League. If they can achieve it this time, they will etch their names in history.

Well, I believe both teams have nearly equal chances of winning. However, if Arsenal can display more strength and resilience, they will emerge victorious. Therefore, it's imperative that Mikel Arteta utilizes all the strategies and tactics at his disposal to secure victory in the upcoming matches remaining before the end of the league.

Arsenal has no option but to win the next match against Manchester City. Failing to do so would create an opportunity for Liverpool to claim the top spot in the league, posing a significant threat to Arsenal's position.

Moreover, if Arsenal loses the next match, they risk dropping to third place as Manchester City will surpass them and challenge Liverpool for the lead. Therefore, they must be extremely cautious and focused. While some may argue that destiny plays a role in football, for Mikel Arteta, this upcoming match should be a top priority.

He must meticulously plan and execute his strategies to ensure victory for Arsenal because they cannot afford to lose to Manchester City. Such an outcome would not bode well for Arsenal, potentially resulting in their return to third place. Given the advantage of winning more matches thereafter, Arsenal must strive to emerge victorious in this crucial encounter.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo's mission in Al Nassr is not just to win a trophy even though that could also be another factor, but also to make the club popular and scale them up in terms of rating in the international football space. That which I think has been achieved to the extent that analysts were suggesting to have the SPL and the likes of Al Nassr play in the next tournament of Champions League.

Another aspect was to build the confidence and skills of other players. Having a great time player like Cristiano Ronaldo play in the club will definitely give the other players a morale booster and also assist them in the gaining more experience. Players like Talisca have performed even better with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I appreciate how closely matched the three clubs are in terms of their points, but if Arsenal can show more strength and resilience, they can take the lead. Personally, I'm rooting for them as they are one of my favorites in both the Champions League and the Premier League, and I wish them the best.

However, they need to prepare to face Manchester City in their next match. Beating Manchester City would be a significant advantage for Arsenal, neutralizing City's strength and boosting their morale to face other smaller clubs afterward.

So, the next match against Manchester City has to be a win for Arsenal. I'm confident their players are undergoing serious training and strategizing for it. If I were Michael Arteta, I would study Manchester City's game plan, understand their key strikers like Haaland, and devise a defensive strategy to counter them.

Understanding City's defense would help position Arsenal's strikers like Saka, Martinelli, Trossard, Jesus and others strategically to break through and secure a victory. Arsenal shouldn't solely focus on defense or offense but strike a balance in their game plan against Manchester City. That's my humble opinion on what they need to do to win.

I expected Juventus to perform better in this Champions League season, especially considering their popularity in Serie A. They had the chance to be ambassadors for the league, but they fell short of expectations. It's disappointing that no Serie A club made it to the quarter-finals. Unlike the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, Serie A lacks representation at this stage.

I had hoped to see Juventus representing Serie A, but that didn't happen. If they want to be part of the next UCL, the opportunity is there for them, but they need to step up. They must decide whether to improve their performance and represent the league or give way to other clubs like Inter or AC Milan who might better represent Serie A in the Champions League.

We've discussed this matter numerous times, but it always boils down to the fact that our economy is the root cause of about 70% to 90% of the problems we face today. Issues like insecurity, communal clashes, thuggery, banditry, corruption among government officials and individuals, and the lack of trust between leaders and citizens are all fueled by our unstable economy, which has hindered our country's economic growth.

If we reflect on the past decade, it's evident that our economy hasn't significantly improved to be more competitive in the international market. This lack of progress has had little impact on the lives of people within the country. Our success in foreign markets is closely tied to our domestic trade as they go hand in hand.

If our domestic affairs are weak, our international standing won't fare any better. However, the responsibility lies with our government. They possess the framework, capacity, and capability to enact positive change in our economy. They know the necessary steps and strategies to achieve this.

Yet, their failure lies in their lack of will, their unwillingness to listen to the plight of the people, and their failure to empathize with the hardships faced by us, the citizens.

The importance wey dey for high-paying skills no fit be overemphasized, especially as we dey consider the current state of government jobs and the limited opportunities wey dey available. E dey very crucial make we invest our time to learn both soft and hard skills wey fit bring income for us. To diversify our skill set to include different ways wey fit bring money na also very important aspect.

For the current year wey we they so, to prioritize the acquisition of more than one skill dey very important. This one go allow us to dey flexible if one skill no dey as marketable as we want, we fit easily change to another one or even dey do different jobs at the same time without compromising on the things wey we suppose deliver. E dey very important to ensure say we fit meet deadlines for the jobs wey we dey do, instead make we just focus on making money.

When we dey start to learn new skill, the ultimate aim suppose be mastery. To dey strive for mastery for each skill we we dey learn dey very important. Even as I don talk say e dey important to learn different skills, if doing so dey hinder our ability to master any of dem, e beta make we focus on perfecting one before we move to another one. After we don master one skill, e dey important to identify potential customers and assess market demand before we move to the next skill.

Thank you, OP, for creating this post and thread. I've been struggling with network issues lately, having to switch between different networks. My MTN has been particularly unreliable since morning, and my Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile connections are not much better. I've tried clearing cache and browsing history in hopes of improving the situation, but to no avail.

At one point, I even considered formatting my device because it's frustrating not being able to work and deliver projects, especially when there are deadlines to meet. This is why I appreciate forums like this as we provide valuable information about common issues faced by people, particularly those specific to our country and local area.

Thanks to the information shared by OP, I now understand that others are experiencing similar network problems. Without this insight, I would have continued struggling to switch between networks or, in the worst-case scenario, formatting my device unnecessarily. So, thank you for sharing this information; I truly appreciate it.

As a Nigerian, I often find myself questioning why we are facing the challenges we currently encounter. It can be disheartening to be a citizen of Nigeria, if not for the importance of God, family, lineage, or the lack of opportunities that shape our lives.

Many Nigerians, including myself, often contemplate leaving the country for better prospects elsewhere. These sentiments are not rooted in pessimism but rather reflect the harsh realities we face as human beings. Every struggle, hardship, and challenge contributes to the collective experience of the average Nigerian.

Therefore, it's understandable if someone chooses to "japa" out of the country. We shouldn't judge them harshly or label them as pessimists because optimism can be challenging in a country that has dashed the hopes of millions due to harsh economic conditions.

It's imperative for the government to take urgent action to alleviate the suffering and address the concerns of the people.

Arsenal faces some tough challenges in their upcoming matches, especially their next match against Chelsea on the 16th, which has been postponed, followed by a match against Manchester City.

Facing Manchester City won't be easy for Arsenal, and losing is not an option. Winning this match would boost their confidence for the remaining eight matches. Currently, Arsenal leads the table standings with 64 points requiring serious resilience, coordination, and encouragement from manager Mikel Arteta to succeed.

However, I'm confident in Arsenal's ability to rise to the occasion. Winning these matches presents another opportunity for them to lift the cup this season.

Going by the last three fixtures played by the teams, Inter Milan have won on two of the matches, home and away with a goal to none and lost in the one match with 2 goals defeat in their home. Going by these contests both teams have had with one another, it is only fair for the us to conclude that Inter will take this match, also adding to the fact that Inter Milan is at the top of their games this season leading at the league level.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand have not been as proactive as Inter this season, going by all of these things, one can easily say that Inter will win over them. But the margin will not be much, however there's 70% person of possibility of Atlantico Madrid losing to the side of Inter Millan in the next Champions league fixturing. All hands crossed!

Thank you for mentioning these crucial points, my friend. The issue of personal safety affects us all, including myself. I can't recall the last time I checked the fire extinguishers at the filling station or the expiry dates of my vehicle's fire extinguisher and tyres. I'm feeling ashamed to admit my negligence in regard to my own safety. It's ironic to call oneself literate when failing to prioritize personal safety, such as checking for gas cooker corrosion or expired products.

Recently, I've heard tragic stories of people being injured or even killed in fires caused by expired gas cookers leaking unnoticed. It's heartbreaking that we often overlook such vital aspects of our safety. How often do we check food labels for expiry dates or ensure the products we consume are not expired? These seemingly small actions are crucial for our well-being, yet we neglect them, often blaming the government instead of taking responsibility for our own environments.

This thread serves as a wake-up call for all of us on this platform. We must prioritize our personal security by being vigilant and proactive in ensuring our safety.
