That's the truth, its often not about the position you occupy in your local league or how well you seem to be doing in your local league. When it comes to international competitions, the odds and chances are different. Bayern stands above the competition in Bundesliga teams not to talk of most of this top teams from Africa that are yet to earn a place in club football. It doesn't work!

Bayern yesterday most have come as a disappointment to many yesterday considering the fact that, most persons must have been expecting more goals but instead, got just ! goal that lasted through the 2nd half to the final whistle. That's always the problem with early kick offs, often slow on the goals. It won't be surprising to see the Augsburg Vs Wolfsburg fixtures turn out to be an under 2.5 game.

Napoli is a good side that won there last Seria A game even without creating more goal chances though, they drew against the dreaded Atlanta and with that on there statistics. The Genoa game is going to present them a chance to test there form considering the fact that, Genoa haven't conceived in there last four games so, breaking it would come with a pleasure to them. So, i'm betting on them to win



Napoli is one of my teams for a bet this season so, i'm okay with them playing from an away side against a mid tier team. Its a 3 point for Napoli on this one fro sure, worst been worst would be a draw.

When i hear this news eh, the matter shake me o, i no go lie una. E no just funny me at all because, na from here most of don get strength and dey see something to use hold our side wella. Which kind wahala country we dey live cef, i just tire with the many rubbish people way dey rule us, nothing is dynamic about them. When we feel say we dey go somewhere, them go just turn the other way.

So na like this them wan use pay all the money way them borrow from China? Watin really dey worry this people, abi there greed no get end? Abi na the G-boys be there wahala because in the real sense, those boys dey bring in rather than taking out as them way be politicians dey do and even at that, if you block one way, another one go still open. Some of them cef no need you buy coin send for them, na just to phish for your details, use am chop online. Abi oyibo no know say the online life, na sense we dey carry run am abi them kwa no dey scam we too! All this one no justify say the way pure but then, crypto no be the wahala. Country way get refinary and e no dey function yet, them dey pay the staff them for work way them no dey do. Oya erect structures and empower people no way, the small empower project wey them bring, e don dey go 6months now without any break through. Make them for bring projects way go tech the new generation technology make we get brand to export, them no go reason am. Na just good name say them dey fight scammers so them fit borrow more money be there wahala!

As for me, my operations remains the same. No body go push me sell my reserve and na only when i wan sell i go sell anything. My crypto affairs continues till them give me wahala. Na that time them go tell me if them give me job and i no work or show me who i scam abi i no get certificate to obtain job. After there president go say all Nigerian youths dey lazy when na them old men they block our way. Better schools we no get, how we wan con contest on an international base? Na only say there children go represent us them dey fine. As them don archive for life, them think say another person no go make am. God go punish all of them way join body reason that matter as all of them no get sense so. We go set pass and everything go dey go jeje. Tip tap i go just fine one oversea connection if e be like e wan hard for the country, transfer my coin, e use western union push my money back for me, everywhere soft. Rubbish!

I feel you my brother Mpamaegbu but, anyhow e be, me i go dey try to drop watin no regular. Straight from my grand mama hut na em i from bring this one make we for hear something new.

---

My fore fathers dey talk say, 'Na small-small way snail dey use climb tree way get chukuchuku for body'.
Meaning: In Pigin: Life na jeje, e rough o and na why you no go rush am, take am small-small and you go archive your aims
              In English: Life is difficult so its best to go easy with it and your sure to archive your goals in life.

My people say, 'Pig tell e pikin say, watin shape en mouth to snout, go one day shape en own too'.
Meaning: In Pigin: say the same suffer way e dey go through to make sure say them eat, one day e pikin go suffer am too and e go clear for en eye
              In English: what the parents suffers to ensure the children feeds and survive, one day the child would suffer the same.

XRP has got potentials the way i see it and is a good investing opportunity but then, its far from being the next bitcoin. I would have considered Ethereum but then, non of the cryptocurrencies would attain the growth bitcoin has attained so far. So, having eyes on bitcoin growth as at now and views on XRP would be an exaggerated fact for these currencies and would be extremely difficult to contend with in the long run. A few weeks of growth is far less for a long term investment analysis.

This is why the bitcointalk forum is a unique learning field because, it introduces you not only to cryptocurrency related concepts but to the economical revolutions that has occurred in the world.
Before hand i knew nothing of Tulip Mania but then, this thread has made me to quickly scan through the concept and from what i understand, it is distinctly different from bitcoin. It wasn't a currency on like bitcoin, it was an exoticism and didn't have a recalls to check and balance its speedy growth. Unlike gold which have managed to persevere to this moment and it is the commodity that could have some correlation to some extent with bitcoin.

Theoboy! your username cef eh, e go tell person way never see you here before say you be Naija boy. You try say na only you waka come, e show say you be man way go sabi fine road wella. We join mouth carry welcome you come this our small corner for the forum. E no big o but, e dey accommodate all of us. E get how we dey carry run the intro for here shah, if you been check the first page, you for see am but, nothing spoil. E good say you don land, na to carry ourselves we dey do for here o and try make you dey rep us well for the forum, when you wan commot small steam and English don hard you speak, your people dey here to gfollow you yarn wella. Wel don sir.

That's it, its got to be much more than stress. Most of this people probably had some illness or something and probably what was at stake but then, i think its more about the shock. You had a lot on your head and all of a sudden, its all gone when you least expected it. Most people that die from gone shot isn't often about the instant pain they receive but then, the sudden shock that results from the fact that you've just been shot, i creates in you the mindset that puts you in that death spot. That is synonymous to the situation being talked about here, having all hope lost and instantly a jackpot. It pushes you to the edge and if you ain't strong enough, you fall off.

This result is so unbelievable to me up to this moment. For a team that started from the bottom with several complains on Ole, this was the least expected i would have ever expected from them. Two more goals and the whole Southampton first 11 team could have been going home with 1 goal, lol.

More surprise still was the Liverpool 0-1 Brighton Hove Albion. I knew Liverpool wasn't going to win but then a draw was the best they could get but then the result came out worst. Guardiola must be smiling at this result. Its all he had hoped for.

still to come the most anticipated watch is going to be Spurs vs Chelsea fixtures. I hope Chelsea makes a good game out of this one because, the rivalry is so strong and intense between this two.

With all this being said and for religion to be continually evolving, it simply means, there is no perfect religion. We hear it's almost 2000years ago and sometimes the years that dates a doctrine comes with a suffix BC or AD (Before Christ or After Death) and so o and as such, the doctrines are being edited up to this moment making Religion more of a man made thing than any divine intervention for most religious figure hard. It's only painted to suit the church and that's all.

This goals a long way to tell you that, it's always going to be about what you believe. In all you hope to archive, make your plans, put in the work and you shall archive them. Let no one deceive you any further.
Not all who attends tertiary institutions and comes off with a professional degree certificate is really a professional. It's always easy to go through school without the school going through you but, this isn't often the case with Church ministers and figure head. They all go through the theological classes and instantly manifest a higher power and anointing, is this always so...

Cups are always the hardest games to predict when the both teams are equally matched and Napoli vs Atlanta is one of that game where the best teams gets to face off. Who will take the 1st  leg advantage as it goes a long way to determining the efforts to be put in the 2nd leg.
Atlanta is no easy team in Seria A to just use in getting 3 points just like that. I wasn't expecting an easy game in this round and Atlanta is all in on this one. They've #Atlanta has got the upper hand with at least 5 shots on target while Napoli has got just 2. I don't see them loosing neither do I see them wining or even playing a both team score in this game. Any outcome would be surprising but then a goal less draw is my prediction.

That's Joseph Guardiola at the top of his game plan and the league too. His got the league where he wanted it to be, now it's all about holding on. His good at inspiring his players and good team performance. He might as well claim this league for the citiizens once again with Liverpool 6 points behind, Manchester United and Leicester city are no real threat.

So far for the Liverpool vs Brighton Hove Albion, Liverpool isn't finding it easy at all. Brighton is ensuring they have a tough game even with Liverpool playing with a home advantage.

I'm hoping to see a draw from either of the remaining fixtures for Aston villa vs West Ham or Liverpool vs Brighton. 40' minutes of play time and both games is still goal less.

Of what difference is this from a dictatorship? To me, they are the same exact thing, just redecorated. Otherwise, what do you call a system that has no respect for fundamental human rights, a system that doesn't allow free will or permits you to ask questions! I feel for the people of India even as I cry my continent!

Sometimes I begin to o wonder if those in places of power and are antibitcoin aren't observing trends of Elion Musk who happens to be the richest man in the world now and a proud supporters of bitcoin and cryptocurencies. These are proud opportunist and business moguls that are able to see the future of potential commodities and how to exploit it.

Sadly the Indian government has planned to subject it's citizens to a high level of poverty than they have it today. Aren't these leaders supposed to aid the people's suffering? Bitcoin empowers more than any government can ever do and it never segregates as per status. Imagine the lots of users running signature on the forum.
It's just sad for Indians.

Apparently there a lots of topics of this nature from newbies or should I say beginners. It almost feel like there is a committee on setup by beginners that made it compulsory for them to drop posts like this to start their bitcointalk journey, like an easy way out to posing!

This isn’t to say there aren’t reach or wealthy people in religion today but majority is what makes the difference. I say this with particular reference to the Christianity as a religion and I’m very much Christian with my religious beliefs and through the chaos in the world, many opportunist pastors has risen to take charge of the situation and the congregation in search of faith becomes the victims.
I write this out of long observed traits in the poor masses that flood various large and much room churches in all corners of the streets of Africa. How a religious person with contradicting belief/faith or with 6months of pastoral education or without any education at all turns a tiny apartment for a fasting/prayer house and it eventually grows to become a church! The pastor gets rich and richer with pot belly and rosy chicks while the members go thin and bony, always hoping on a spiritual figure for a break through. One question I always ask myself is,

Are there really need for all this many churches in all corners of our streets?
Does it really solve the problem of so many immoralities in our world as we see it today?

Religion of our time has become a one man business, where individuals attend churches based on the individual that stands on the podium with sight of what they hope could be gotten from the spiritual figure with no intent of in depth worship. There isn’t any better way to brain wash people other than religion. It uses your built in trust and faith in the pastor or religious leader, your desire to attract favors from the spiritual entity and the fact that your expected to believe completely without doubt against you. All of a sudden we have no value for time anymore, all attentions focused on a one man’s business, the religious figure head. It’s always about, going out to acquire and bring it to the house of the lord. The house of the lord that is always open to receive but short when it comes to giving out.

MY ANNOYANCE
I have a problem with the churches of our time and as much as it troubles me, I try not to let it affect my religious beliefs and faith in God. I have a friend with a troubled family essential need, not want but need that would be 3years if not solved by march 2021 and all it could take to solve it as at then (August, 2019) was just $1,000. It’s my intent to skip the detail but should anyone wish to hear the story, pm and I’ll tell it or at least produce evidence that it’s real and pressing. So, I asked that she takes the issue to her pastor in hope for assistance, maybe not all but even at least 1% of that would go a long way in building hope. Maybe not from the pastor but perhaps let the congregation know of it, maybe a philanthropist could do something or perhaps, conduct an offering to help. It was surprising what answer came off the pastors mouth “GOD WILL PROVIDE”. Very religious! but, they don't wait for God to provide when it's got to do with church business or pastors welfare. A fund raiser would be conducted immediately and in some instance, they even specify what an individual or a family is to pay. Despite her relationship with the pastor as a personal assistant, a cleaner in church, a chorister and is personally entitled to opening and closing the church when ever they’ve got activities of worship. She pays her tithes and participates actively in donations in her little way in church activities but couldn’t even merit an announcement. It’s a shame! My annoyance comes in terms of what is being thought in the churches, especially in this much room churches of Africa and a few other large churches. It’s always about,

GIVING
This is one of the chief topics that follow all summons of the churches because, it keeps the churches at the receiving end, not their/our neighbors but the church itself. It’s bad. Even the Holy Scriptures (Bible) will tell you that, when you give to the poor or less privileged on the street, you’ve given to God (Matthew  25:44).
Why is it that, you have to sow a seed (seed of faith) they call it, in the pastor’s life to get the most blessings?
Why is it that, the pastor’s children’s affairs should be funded from the churches treasury?
Why a church would accuse and condemn a man/woman to be fetish but accepts his/her money?
Even pastor’s airtime collections are being taken!
I once saw a church shot its gate to refugees from conflict rural communities in search for a few days of shelter. They sat and bath outside its walls for almost a week until the conflict was resolved.

ENEMIES
Christians have been made to feel they have enemies everywhere that hinders their progress.  Funny enough, they’ve got no idea whom their enemies are in essence; they’ve got no enemies at all. They fail to realize their only enemy is idleness and time management.

FAITH/BELIEF
The church pay more attention to preaching on abstract things as faith would always create in the individual the need not to doubt. Doubting and asking questions becomes a sin! Taking faith from the church would bring reasoning into the church and once that be the case, the result becomes chaos which isn’t favorable for business.

I expect churches to let their members know these truths,
1.   All that you could ever need has been provided by God, your left to explore the corners of the world, dominate and better your living through hard work.
2.   Manner doesn’t fall from heaven no more, what you sow is what you’ll reap.
3.   The world is every man for himself, if you’re assisted then, your fortunate and should be grateful but it’s got nothing to do with what you believe.
4.   Time is the most important thing that is, the greatest asset a man has and its irrevocable and as such should be invested wisely.

Most of the rich and wealthy people know this! This is why you can never see the rich in churches on work hours. It’s always the poor, seeking miracles and praying day after day for the enemies they don’t have. So religion became a thing of the poor!
In your pursuit for God and spirituality, don’t forget you have all you need less you be a religious poppet, like the rat in a rat race that has faith.

It's always a pleasure to have Duelbit through Hhampuz challenge us to test our skills in art and the extent of our imagination and it's not being easy too, thanks to the participant. Amazing piece are being presented and we learn from ourselves all along. On this note, I'm glad to present my concept.

This is a piece inspired by the Hollywood 2016 movie La la Land based on Jazz music. Music is one essential need to man and the only thing you really don't need to understand but can glow with the rhythm. It unites the black jack, dice, roulette, slot and every other game gambler all in one accord. Little wonder why games comes with sounds! This is why I'm glad to bring you to the playhouse of Duelbit where all the music or sounds are produced by Mr. Ace.























Thank you once more for the opportunity and good luck to all my fellow contestants. Salute!
