My favorites are Benzema and Mohamed Salah.Karim Benzema is a great player with great contribution for Real Madrid(even though I don't like Real Madrid).


If we are to say that the Ballon d'or is not a popularity contest and truly it is given to most deserving in terms of titles and cups won, IMHO Benzema should be top runner to win this Ballon d'Or having a world cup medal and Nations League medal to his name. Benzema is on a fantastic form and has performed and scored against big teams, he deserves to be recognised.

Yes really nice performance from spain in the first half but they are mostly young players they lack experience ...
 We really cannot compare the experience and quality of players in the starting eleven of teams likes France, Germany, Italy etc with that of spain at the moment. Regardless with the fantastic dominant football coaching style of Luis Enrique, I think their performance was still good even though they played without some of their top defenders and strikers, and that they can also be an upset for any other team, play in big games and even contend for the world cup.

Big congratulations to the French side. Smiley

Learning hasn't stopped for me when it comes to trading, we keep learning everyday. But so far to this point that i am now, all i know about trading was learnt the hard way. There were no mentors or teachers that guided me with their experiences personally through learning. I made mistakes and learnt somethings along the way of trading. I wouldn't advice anyone nee to follow in my steps and learn on your own, it may cause you losses that you may not be able to recover from.
3504  Other / Politics & Society / Re: [Plandemic Survey] I wonder how many of you have been vaccinated ? on: October 10, 2021, 10:19:58 AM
I'm not yet vaccinated. There's a health center around me where the vaccine is given for free now, but i've not been there to receive it. It's not because I have something against it, but because i haven't seen a need to yet. I think most persons who have something against being vaccinated are being hypocrites to some extent, because if really there was something that you've been waiting for a while like say a travel permit to another country and its a requirement that you get vaccinated, most people will.

Unlike the AJ and Usyk fight where both boxers showed respect for each other, this Fury vs Wilder fight had a lot of bad blood between, that's why you notice that it was a really very aggressive fight between the two, and also the refusal of wilder to congratulate Fury by shaking hands after the fight. The Gypsy king continues with his impressive record after beating Wilder in his best, he now has 31 wins out of 32 fights, 21 knockouts and 1 draw. The KO win at the 11th round is convincing enough for wilder not to have an excuse or even want a rematch again (if it were possible).
3506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FURY VS WILDER WHO YA GOT? #FuryWilder3 on: October 10, 2021, 01:41:14 AM
Keeping my fingers crossed for this fight, waiting to see if Wilder can come up with any result different from the last fight. I hope his team has been able to spot his excesses and correct the errors he made, else he will still be the side that looses again to the Gypsy King. I also hope that Fury doesn't disappoint us all by underestimating Wilder as well, his right hand can be fatal too.
3507  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Library ? Or Internet ? on: October 10, 2021, 01:00:48 AM
Where do you think is best to get reliable information ?
Most people feel reluctant to spend time in the library and maybe not user friendly to them, although vital information can be gotten there.

The internet makes access to information easy. I see the internet as a huge conglomerate of unrestricted and uncontrolled information. Hence for the fact that is is uncontrolled and information can easily be provided/obtained from anyone qualified or unqualified, information gotten must be verified as it is not completely reliable.

Reliable information can be obtained from the library owing that they are hard copies of information or research that has gone through proper analysis before publishing, however this information may be outdated and not applicable to some present day situations. The information there are reliable for reference purposes.



3508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is telling people you're into stocks "cool" but crypto is a big secret? on: October 10, 2021, 12:36:36 AM

2. Security purposes. Remember, unlike stocks where you have a custodial services keeping for you your investment, for  Bitcoin, you are in full control of your long term investments via paper or hardware wallets. You are a damn moving bank and by telling people you have a certain amount of Bitcoin, you are putting a target on yourself.

Exactly, you should consider your security mostly. Because telling people may just put you in harms way. It's not like it should be a complete secret, but it is not something to always talk and brag about to people and everyone you come across. If you speak about it so much, and someone happens to get a hold of your phone or devices where your wallet is stored, you could loose all your portfolio and have no idea who did it. You should generally be careful who you discuss investments that you have with.

This is honestly the first time I saw that game.

In terms of popularity, I can say it's far from being popular as online gambling

Same thing here, first time seeing it. Not sure this game is popular in my locale, many people here are not so interested in anything else but Soccer, some basketball, some tennis, athletics, and a few for golf. Even the regular dice game which this game is an advance of from what i have read, is not popular or even spoken about in my environment.

I just dey laugh when I dey listen to radio station this morning wey some guys come dey talk about bitcoin investment program lol.

And finally finally, dem go chop people money waka. No be today wey ynash don dey for back oo. We wey dey here dey privileged and know better.


Unfortunately my brother, the people wey be the organisers of all those kind parole dey still dey cash out. Truth na say, as you talk am say we wey dey here dey privileged, my brother plenty people still dey wey nor get that privileged ooo, and based on poverty dey our country well well, people wey dey find way to get from bitcoin sake of say dem dun hear the story, go still fall prey to all this kind people wey dey take advantage of them. Na the sad reality be that. Information dey free now to a large extent, but many people still nor know where to get am from.

From now on, we will most probably see a completely different team. Newcastle will start bringing very qualified players to the team in the coming transfer window in January. There are rumours like they can sign very big players as Kylian Mbappe. But the Mbappe transfer doesn't seem realistic to me as he wants to go to Real Madrid, not to a club any different than them. But they can sign so many big players and build a brand new squad.

Yes, Even if Mbappe decides to go to Real Madrid, there are still so many other big performing players like you have said that with good bargain will sign up for Newcastle. I'm excited to see the changes that will come to the team in the next couple of months, I'm excited to see the new big names that will join the squad, excited for the new coach and technical team (if they will). Hopefully they survive this season and don't get relegated, their performance next season will be something to watch out for.
3512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which alt coin is best investment for long term? on: October 09, 2021, 08:47:58 AM
Everyone has an opinion on this, for me, after analysis, i first consider Solana because it is hinged on to some very good projects and because of the NFT on its network, so it's a good indication for me that it is going to be profitable long term. Secondly, i consider BNB because of the successes we have seen and how quickly it has risen to become a coin to look out for. There is still a lot of chance for increment in both their value.
3513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: Fury vs Wilder III - THE TRILOGY IS BACK ON !!! on: October 09, 2021, 08:32:45 AM
Whether it's a KO or by Decision, Fury would still win this.

Everyone thinks Fury will win, truth is, i do too. Wilder has increased in weight from the last fight where he was 231 to now 238. To me i think its going to make him more slower than before and get tired more quickly. He already had the power for the fight, what he needed was to develop more speed and stamina. Unless Fury let's his guard down and Wilder has plans for a KO considering the weight gain, he has no chance.
3514  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Basics things to note before venturing into crypto on: October 09, 2021, 02:36:33 AM
1) you don't always make profits, they're huge losses too, I've lost $300 twice in different occasions, so it's not always Rossy, there are hard time too.

2) Trading Cryptos need PATIENCE, I once lost over $10000 just because of lack of patience, the coin wasn't moving well so I sold it, 5days later, the coin did exceptionally well that I would have made 5Million if I had left it for a bit longer, so Patience is very necessary.

3) You need a mentor, mentors helps to analyze the market and tell you what coin to buy, when to buy it, what coin would pump in the nearest future and the coin that'll delay in pumping.....
As a newbie, if you decide to do all this on your own, you may be running at a lose.

4) You need to be obedient and humble, it's one thing to have a mentor and another thing to take heed to their Instructions and advice.
Most times we just want to act differently from what the ask you to do thereby running into unnecessary loses.

To this list, you should have added that before venturing into crypto, one Should as well see it as a path that to remain profitable in, he/she must be able to subject themselves to constant research and information.

The mentors that OP has said you should depend on (which i don't completely agree with) are just people who have subjected themselves over the years to learning and experience. You can grow as well, as you learn from them and their experiences, also do your own research and learning so as not to remain at the under level forever.
3515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: October 09, 2021, 02:05:12 AM
With the draw, the wales team hope of qualifying for the world cup is still possible. The Czech side is a strong team to play against especially at home, but i think the wales team could have won this game if the keeper had not lost concentration which caused the own goal(he has to do better), and if Bale played. Ramsey's performance for me was very good as well.
3516  Economy / Economics / Re: Permanent inflation or "just temporary" on: October 08, 2021, 06:09:12 PM
When it comes to inflation, i don't really think or see it as a temporary situation. Yes, we may at some point experience temporary calm in the situation of things, but soon after inflation will become a topic again. It is safer to plan to seek out ways to earn more and be able to support your lifestyle, because inflation to me will always be constant.
3517  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Malaria vaccine in Kenya on: October 08, 2021, 05:21:50 PM
Malaria parasite is another deadliest virus that doesn't go away,it's unfortunate that Kenya is now battling with the disease,and probably looking for a vaccine that can treat it.
In my country,Nigeria,malaria parasite is common and treating it is not a problem.we get sick of it every here and now and still recover the moment we take it drugs or vaccine.Some common vaccine we use to control it is quinine tablets,it takes care of the disease.

True that there are drugs already that can effectively fight the malaria parasite, but i think the essence of vaccines is for prevention. Unfortunately some countries and areas even in Nigeria are still being ravaged by mosquitoes and malaria, some malaria parasites have even developed resistance against some drugs that formerly combats the parasite. So eliminating the chances of having malaria from mosquito bites through vaccines especially for children is a big win generally for Africa.
3518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: October 08, 2021, 09:18:38 AM

The long-awaited deal has finally been completed. He had his first attempt turned down by the Premier League last year or so, perhaps some paperwork was skipped at the time, but becoming the richest club in the world with new owners worth £320 billion is a fresh start of what is to come with the new owner aiming for the club to perform at the highest level. I see them getting a good team next season, maybe getting Halaand and Mbappe as major signings, then maybe Navas as a goalie

A breath of fresh air for the Newcastle team and players. The team has really struggled under the ownership of Mike Ashley. Hopefully this new ownership will see the club spend more money to get quality players and a better coach to manage the team. My only concern now is that the team should try to avoid being relegated this season so it doesn't affect the movement of big players to the team.

Other than a complete dump of your altcoin, why not share your portfolio amongst the two either Bitcoin and other coin so you don't miss on both opportunity.

This is what i do, i personally did not jump early onto the bitcoin project so i am not one of the top gainers from btc. So in order not be a latecomer to some other promising altcoins backed by good projects, i have identified them and have a percentage investment in them. Not so many though, so i can keep track. Also, regardless of the fact that btc has good ROI, i consider investing in it alone as "putting all your eggs in one basket".
3520  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: *Day Traders* are now calling gambling Addiction helplines!! on: October 07, 2021, 06:20:46 PM

My question is : *How far is day trading from Gambling according to you?*
Is that a valid comparison?? Are we soon going to consider the day trading *gambling?*

IMO Day trading has a strong similarity with gambling reason being that they can both become compulsive. I've seen day traders who can't go two minutes without trying to check the charts, even at fun events where one is meant to relax. To me that's an addiction and it's no different from gambling.
