I am tempted to post up all the bad news that has been making the rounds in Nigeria but I will ignore. This very post is not about Buhari or Tinubu but about Nigeria as a whole because it touches each and every one of us. I want you to remove bias, prejudice and tribalism, ethnicity as you read and give your response to the question that follows the trending headline that flooded the Nigerian internet last week. See the headline. You can read the investigative report if you have the time. Ibrahim Egungbohun Dende, the biggest smuggler in southwestern Nigeria, recently threatened to kill an Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC) who stopped the smuggling of his goods from Benin Republic into Nigeria, FIJ can confirm. Motorcycles used by bandits and insurgents to inflict terror on innocent civilians, as well as hard drugs, including tramadol, are among the goods being smuggled into northern Nigeria by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the agency that should be checking the crime. Following repeated complaints about the porosity of Nigeria’s borders, investigative journalist ‘Fisayo Soyombo attempted to illegally import not one or two but 100 bags of rice from the Republic of Benin into Nigeria. He succeeded without the faintest security resistance, working with information from greedy Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) bosses who betrayed patrol teams by updating smugglers on their colleagues’ itinerary and the days and times when the roads were free, and daredevil smugglers with insider knowledge of the forests, the roads and Customs officers. [/list] There are many more from the other security agencies being involved in crime that they should be fighting. The question I want us to have a conversation about is - Is Nigeria redeemable?I have said this before, and am still going to say it again, Nothing is wrong with Nigeria, Nigeria is a country that is well endowed with natural resources and many more, but unlike most part of the world that their natural disasters in flood, Earthquake and so on, our own disasters is not natural, it's man made, our disasters is leadership. our politicians are our own disaster, they are just taking this country for a rollercoaster ride, without even caring how citizens of the state are fairing, but I believe that if a true leader that knows what is governance, that knows how to govern a state gets into power in this country, he will definitely fix this country, regardless of how wicked and corrupt people are on the rampage right now, because I believe that nothing is impossible, when given time. |

I don't really think gamblers track their gambling habits, but if you are talking about watching your gambling spending so that it wouldn't affect your finance, then I believe that most gamblers, I mean the responsible one does that often.
As for me, I don't really care how my gambling habits progreses, what I am more concerned about is gambling only what I can afford to lose, because by doing so, I will be able to curtails it influence on me, and it can never lead to addiction by doing so.

It will be an interesting Sunday ofcourse. The most interesting part of it is that Arsenal will face Brentford a day before this great meeting. This means that Arsenal may likely be at the top of the table even before the Manchester City - Liverpool match.
I predict that Manchester city will win the match because they have a complete squad as you have said, but in the other hand, Liverpool is never a club to be underrated when it matters.
I personally do not trust Arsenal any time at the top of the table. They are not reliable there and they have proven it time without number. They have topped the table with more than 7 points and lose them all few matches to end the season.
In case of win against Brentford Arsenal are going at the top of Premier League table for few hours but in case of draw they could be stayed at this post for the long time because after this round we will have Premier League games on 30th March with Manchester City will be host the Arsenal and Liverpool will be host Brighton which will also bring good changes in league table because in case of Manchester City win they could be at the top or Arsenal will be taken this spot, but they have to win this game which will be surely also decided about the title race as well. But, currently we are having the best game on Sunday which is surely well-balanced due to Liverpool injuries list even their few players are coming back but still mostly are not able which is surely problem for them but at home they can handle this all better and things can go into their favour but still Manchester City which is coming with full force try their best for displacing them and having solid hand on title again for another time. There is only one person who can liberate Manchester City from the wrath of Arsenal and that person is Foden. I believe he is a good striker and can start a comeback goal opportunity giving Manchester City a hope for a w in. But however, Arsenal will win the match or draw the match. I won't bet that game for any side to win. If you watch out last Arsenal game against Sheffield United in the second half, Arsenal made a sub and out one of their best Defensive Midfielder that was on injury for long, Thomas Partey is his name. That guy is dangerous, and an attacker has to be so smart to beat him. Partey paring with Rice in that midfield is too much for Manchester City to handle. Even if you try passing them you have to face Saliba and Gabriel in the central back. To play against Arsenal this period is not an easy one. The team is fully prepared from the Attack to the defense the boys are good. I noticed that they don't gamble in their opponent 18-yard box anymore. Once they see that opportunity they shoot and trust me Brentford is a work over for them but Manchester City acting like a threat i never a thread to Arsenal. They will be playing the match at Emirate stadium, so Manchester City has to be extremely ready and careful of what is to come. Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are cooking the team right now for the match and i know Mikel Arteta will come up with something good. By the look of things, you have forgotten so quick how good Manchester city team is when they are at their very best, and besides Manchester city team is not built around a single player, and for the past few years, them and Liverpool are the only team in premier league right now that have proven that they are no visitors when it comes to consistency and stability when gunning for the premier league title. Arsenal on the other have showed lack of consistency over and over again, since this their young team rose to prominence, though they are actually good, of a truth, but I don't feel like they have what it takes to go all the way and snatch this title away from this both power house of English football. |

I personally do not trust Arsenal any time at the top of the table. They are not reliable there and they have proven it time without number. They have topped the table with more than 7 points and lose them all few matches to end the season.
With Brentford being a poor opponent, Arsenal's next game against them will determine whether they are strong enough to overtake Liverpool at the top of the league. Arsenal will have advantage of playing at home, which should make the game easy to win. The next Manchester City against Liverpool game will be very difficult to predict because we don't know if any of the Liverpool players will be ready to play. Though we shouldn't underestimate Liverpool's current squad, all of them are strong. I didn't think any of them would win the game, instead, I expect the game to end in a draw. Arsenal will have an opportunity to be at the top of the league, if they defeat Brentford this coming weekend. Although I don't think Arsenal will repeat last season's drama, after leading the league, then failed to win the trophy. You are right that they cannot be trusted at this time. But their recent play has demonstrated that they are interested to become the championship this season. Though I expected arsenal to win this game against Brentford but I don't sees it as an easy game to them since it's a derby, besides their is no easy game in the premier league, because if you underestimate any team in the premier league, you will actually be punished for complacency, so if arsenal take this game lightly means that they aren't serious for their quest for the title. Secondly, the match between Liverpool and Manchester city is really going to be a fascinating encounter between them both, but I expected it to end in a draw regardless of the injuries in Liverpool team, because they are actually good. |

Right now so many people cant get access to their Facebook account because of some technical issues, and even if it comes up many account will be loss. The reason am bringing this up for discussion is because some of us we think the social media and email are the best place to store important details. Some people consider online as a good place of store for wallet seedphrase. Anything can happen to the server of this social media where information are store and account might get lose which it will be so difficult to get the important information stored on it.
As this life dy so, e no too hard like that if you get sense, because even bible talk say wisdom is profitable to direct, and I also believe say even common sense surpose tell that person wey go do this kind of thing, say social media or anything online na very wrong place to store important things wey you no want person to see, since they can be hacked, but I dy sure say, no body go fit hack my diary, as long as I keep am in a very safe place. Even when I never dy into crypto, I no dy save something online, now wey I don dy more enlightened nai I go come go f**k up like that? Before now I get diary wey I dy store all my important details, so I urge every right thinking person to do the same. |

I just noticed say bitcoin been don reach $69k all of a sudden bitcoin just drop down to $63k along side with other altcoins like Shiba in doge coin and Pepe. The market just they red na just this morning I come notice say market come dey recover small small I say make I ask our oga them wey dey here weda dem get something to talk about am I wan learn. Abeg make ona give me answer.
Just wetin oga Charles don talk already, if look at the Bitcoin price chart, if you know how to do technical analysis, you go observe say people sell too much of their Bitcoin mostly at the resistance level which is 69k, and that makes the price to collapse back to the nearest support, and for market terms, them dy call correction. so as more buyers enter the market in that supports level, the price come dy recover back, and by the look of things, the buying momentum dy stronger than the sellers now, so we fit still dy expect the price to retest that resistance level again if e fit break am, but if e break am, na new all time high Bitcoin go set this time around. |

We should be careful not to fall into the temptation of thinking that price has peaked therefore now is the time to sell and not buy. I have seen some posts in that direction so we must be careful not to fall into that trap. We should not forget that we are holding for the long term because that is where most of the benefits are. If price can achieve all time high before the halving, then we will be talking something bigger after halving.
I agree. People will have to compare now this cycle that we're just starting out and we're not yet in the halving. They think that the peak is in because it has hit the former ATH. It's not yet the peak and look it was followed by a quick correction. This moment has given everyone the discount again and another time to buy so, if many have missed the time of buying when it hits before the ATH, this is the time that you're all waiting for. Because you'll never know and you may not see it anymore when the price starts to hit back at the top and this is going to be a long road again until next year. You buy the dip, HODL and be patient. Actually, there's no point of selling because it's still 1 btc = 1 btc when you don't need that money because Bitcoin is our money.  You are actually right bro, though their is a correction going on in the price chart of Bitcoin right now, so i think it's unwise for most investor to wait further for the price to deep more, before they buy, Because that opportunity they are waiting for may not come, and they will miss the opportunity, so as a Bitcoin investor, they should be looking at it long term, so it's even ok if they buy at this current all time high because Bitcoin have the potential of going up to 150k in the nearest future, so buying at 69k is a bargain too me if you are a long term thinker |

Liverpool also have Manchester City to play. So the league is still very open for the top 3 teams to drop form.
I believe Manchester City will win the league. Their players are returning from injury and picking form at the very right moment.
Yes, this is really interesting to see. Man City's best chance is to win against Arsenal and Man City. These 3 teams have a difference of only 1 point. If Man City can win against Arsenal of course they will be number 1. But Man City must be careful they must maximize the remaining matches. Man city must avoid losing or draw result. Because a small mistake will make their big loss. March 10, maybe Man City should keep Salah, he is the key to Liverpool's game. Basically I don't underestimate Liverpool at all but yes, because considering Liverpool still get a lot of key players injured then yes, at least that factor makes me doubt Liverpool at this moment. Indeed, currently Liverpool are still at the top of the standings but yes, over time if Liverpool's key players are not quick to recover, then Liverpool position will also be replaced by Manchester City or Arsenal. Because yes, it is clear that Manchester City are in a good situation and condition with the main squad and key players they currently have still available to play. Likewise about Arsenal who are still very much on fire in Premier League matches because Arsenal are consistent with the big wins they have made lately. With such considerations, then I believe that Manchester City and Arsenal have a chance to be at the top of the standings overtaking Liverpool. The current situation is really exciting. We're having an amazing season. Arsenal in the third place, just two points behind the leaders Liverpool. Man City in the second place, just one point behind Liverpool. Things are heating up, and there's definitely more drama to come. I'm rooting for Man City, but Liverpool's injuries might hold them back from top position. Arsenal has a chance, just like last season. They had a shot at winning it last time, but they missed out. I believe they need to make the most of their opportunities this season and not let them slip away. Could Arsenal surprise everyone this season? Actually the fight for the premier league title is really heating up, Manchester city is clearly the favourite for this one, due to their experience and debth in their squad, but arsenal is really an interesting team we need to watch out for, though many don't sees them more of a threat due to their lack of consistency, but quite of late, they have really changed my perception about them, so I think they can fight for it till the very end. And as for Liverpool, I don't just know what to get hold of, but I just feels like they don't have all it takes to bring the title to Amfield. |

My brother as na naija board we dy, I just feel say no need to dy speak too much grammar, because as e be so, the best way to express my feelings na in our pigin language.
I just dy vex for how things dy shele for we country, how can this government remove subsidy with any plan of we getting our own functioning refinary? Ok all the money wey dem don save since Dem no pay oil subsidy, where all the money dy? Why e dy really vex me is that, this subsidy removal affect the price of goods even more than the dollar increase, because I dy sure say, buying of electronic no be everybody problem, but when it comes to food wey we go eat, na every body concern.
Other countries dy complain of natural disasters, like earthquake, flood, but our own natural disasters na our politicians, bad government, them dy complain of the previous administration, Dem been no see am before Dem go for that office? Na people wey vote this particular administration nai I blame, at least, everybody dy feel am, even people wey vote am self, no body is exempted.

Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ? Is there chance of major correction from here as prices have already peaked now.
I really don't think so, if you look at the historical price performance of Bitcoin, you are going to know that this is just the beginning of the growth of Bitcoin, because I really do believe that due to the limited supply of Bitcoin, it has the potential of going up to $150k. Besides we are still in the early days of Bitcoin, so investing anytime now, is the right call, so I want to ask you, how much do you think Bitcoin can rise up to during the bull run? I just want you to know that the potential of Bitcoin is more higher than what you thought, if you think that people investing right now are fools. So in my own view, Bitcoin is no where near it potential if you must know, so those investors are making the right calls. |

Havertz become the most valuable player for two matches, it's good to see he developed very well when many people said him a flop signing. Sheffield United must be shameful because they lose with big margins in their homes. Next week Arsenal will face Brentford, this should be an easy match again despite they lost Saka and Martinelli. I wonder why Arsenal is slowing down after they leading 5 goals in the first leg, is Sheffield ask Arsenal to respect them?  As a Chelsea fan, I know how good havertz is, so when he went to arsenal and wasn't doing well, at the beginning of his arsenal career, I never doubted him, because I know that once he got adapted to the playing style of arsenal football club, he is going to prove all his doubters wrong , and kudos to Mikel arteta for believing in him and refusing to adhere to pressure of relegating him to the bench. Concerning the lost of Saka and martinelli, it's going to be a really big lose for this arsenal team, because both players are really at the top of their games right now, so I believe that no team that the absence of such quality players wouldn't be felt in their teams. |

 Source: https://www.cnnindonesia.com/olahraga/20240305044011-142-1070428/hasil-liga-inggris-beringas-arsenal-bantai-sheffield-6-0Arsenal was really great today in their match against Sheff Utd, they won the match again with a score of 0-6. Arsenal looked very easy against Sheff Utd and in the 5th minute Arsenal could easily score a goal against Sheff Utd through Oddgaard and possession of the ball too Arsenal Mastered a lot, now Mikel Arteta has succeeded in making Arsenal have a good performance and now the point difference between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City is not much different, of course this will make the competition exciting. and now Mikel Arteta of course has to prepare another strategy for the next match against Brentford. Of course Brentford is stronger than Sheff utd because Sheff utd is the bottom ranked team currently in the English league so it is actually a natural thing if Arsenal wins with a fantastic score against Sheff utd. So I'm sure that when playing against Brentford, Arsenal must be careful because Brentford could potentially win or draw considering that Brentford's last match against Chelsea ended with a score of 2-2. It is normal for Arsenal to appear extraordinary in this match because their opponent is a promoted club who is at the bottom of the standings so it is quite easy for Arsenal to beat them. But I did not expect that if Arsenal won again with that much score, now Arsenal's goal productivity is higher many from Liverpool and Manchester City and of course Mikel Arteta is very happy with this even though Arsenal is still in 3rd place but the difference in points between the top 3 clubs is only 1 point. The most important thing for Arsenal is that they continue to maintain their consistency so that they continue to appear impressive in the next match, to be honest, I really want to see Arsenal get the title after last season they failed to get it. The next match that Arsenal faces is actually not quite a difficult match considering Arsenal's recent performance which continues to get consecutive wins. Moreover, Arsenal has a bigger chance of winning because they are playing at home so Arsenal must win if they want to continue competing in the title race. Even though Brentford achieved a draw with Chelsea, as we know, the performance of Chelsea and Arsenal is very different, Arsenal is much more impressive and stable than Chelsea, therefore I think Arsenal will be able to beat Brentford in the next match. I don't know why I feel as if Arsenal is just comfortable in the spot they are currently in. I feel as if, if the team was to top the league table now, the pressure to stay on top till end of season will make them feel so pressured that they eventually lose perhaps in one of their final and most important matches, thus drop points. Perhaps luck will shine on the Arsenal team if they can win all remaining matches with a win like this, Manchester city and Liverpool were to lose and get a draw in any of their remaining matches before the end of season. Well, the league still can turn around quickly and the match between Liverpool and Manchester city will be a decider to how the EPL table becomes at the end of season. Actually the performance of arsenal of recent have really been impressive and it has practically change my perception towards them, because initially I never sees them as a real force in this title race due to their inconsistency, but to be frank, they have proven me wrong on how I sees this team. But if they can continue this level of consistency and maintain their conversation rate in front of goal, then I think they will be able to go all the way, and claim the title from the nose of this two power house of football, which are Manchester city and Liverpool. |

The main reason i would choose investing over saving is that investing saves you for future purposes and gives you a chance to be wealthy. Definitely, it is difficult to get wealthy when you are just saving because inflation will surely affect it, and purchasing power will also reduce after some years of saving. I am not still disputing the fact that saving is good because it helps us solve unexpected problems that come along the way. Now, i won't suggest that a person should leave saving and invest, and I won't say they should also focus on investing and abandon saving either. Both should come in hand after receiving income. Allocating some percentage to saving and some to investment based on your financial capability every month.
By investing we can guarantee a good future for us, but we have to properly understand the investments we make so that we can run them well and get profits. You are right, it will be very difficult to become rich if we only save because when inflation occurs everything will be very different and we also have to still have savings for emergency needs that we will never know for sure so that when we need it it doesn't disturb the assets we have invested. You are right, these two things must continue to be carried out well to be able to achieve what we dream of in the future. What I think about all this is that, investment is paramount if you really want to secure your future, because savings have an enemy which makes it less effective the e way it should, which is inflation, so the best way to counter such situation is having an emergency fund that can sustained you in case of any emergencies till the next pay day. I prefer having an emergency fund which can sustained me till my next pay day, so that I wouldn't have to look up to my investment during financial troubles, than saving money that would be eaten up by inflation. |

To me savings is actually good to be frank, but I dont really fancies it, what I usually do is, I try to cut my coat according to my size, by drawing down a budget, and in that budget I will create room for emergency fund that I believe that can sustained me in case of any unforseen circumstances.
Why I don't like to save nowadays is because of inflation, because I believe that is the real enemy to any money saved up, so I prefer holding that money in anything that appreciate in value overtime, like Bitcoin gold or land, than to hold fiat in the name of savings.

Chai, as I see this particular post now, e just be like say make I cry, because na the exact tin I experience when I been dy stay with my parents, which was in 2015, the worst year of my life.
During that time wey I just finish school, I no get work, my elder brother, and my two siblings Dem been all they work, all of dem dey assist the house with feeding money every month ending, but my own side, nothing come out because I no dy work, and I never still see work after graduation.
Every day was like hell to me, because before them go give me food, them go use talk finish the food for my belle first, before I go even eat am, them come even dy give my sister respect for the house pass me, but the one wey force me out of the house na the one wey my old girl tell me to go wash plate when my youngest sister dy around, when I confront her, she tell me say I no dy contribute anything for the house, say na my only contribution be that.
That day I use vexation use park all my things comot go stay with my friends, though my father come later beg me for that thing wey happen, and tell me to come back house, but I don already zero my mind, I say e better make I dy hungry and get peace of mind than to dy collect this kind insult everyday, I stay there till I get work, and I come later rent my own apartment till dis day.
As I see this post now e just reminded me of my own story in the past, and if we see the way me and my parents dy use relate now, and how Dem no dy carry me play, you go think say something like that no ever happen, but such is life. In such situation the best you can do for urself na to just stay strong because e no easy I swr.

To me it's quite normal in today's society this days, that due to the fact that the economy has been so tough on people, people are now doing more than a Job, just to meet up to the high cost of living in today's society, but if you says that you won't do it, no body will force you, but your living conditions will not really be pleasant at all, and that has force some people to be taking pain killer of a drug, which we all know that it has a negative effect on their health.
But if the government can bust the economy and provide a better living conditions for it citizens, the weak ones won't have to take two or more jobs which has made them engaged themselves in to drugs, because if you ask them, they will say it's pain killer, which to me is not right, so I just sees this situation as what the economy has forced on some people in the country.

I'd love to see the Gunners winning the Premier League Competition anyways.
Me too but Arsenal are really messing things up while they are getting close to winning the title. We saw it previously and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in this season as well.  Otherwise Arteta has built a really good system for this team. Even though Arsenal are a really young team they are doing pretty good work about challenging for top positions. Consistency is the element which is needed for them on the final weeks. Competing against Liverpool and Manchester City for the league title is a really tough work to do now. Both of them are doing great work recently and look decisive to go for the title.  You're right about consistency, especially when competing with Liverpool and Manchester City. Last season's heartbreak is too familiar, and I fear it returning. Something about Arteta's current arrangement gives me cautious optimism. This youthful team's tactical versatility and perseverance are noteworthy. I believe our toughest opponent is our own psychological obstacles, not Liverpool or City's stellar form. The last weeks test mental power as well as technique and strategy. With their commitment this season, Liverpool seems unstoppable. Part of me wants Liverpool to win the title to honor Klopp, while another part wants Arsenal to overcome their inconsistencies. Looking at arsenal team as a football lover, not as a fan, this arsenal team have all it takes to lift this year premier league title if they can be consistent enough to withstands the pressure from the likes of Manchester city and Liverpool, and be consistent in getting the desired results, regardless of how bad they perform, if they can work on that, it doesn't matter the kind of debt in the squad of Manchester city and Liverpool teams, they will be unstoppable if they can be consistent in getting the results, but their greatest problem right now is lack of consistency, which have been a manace in this arsenal team over the years, till they fix that, they wouldn't be able to achieve something big. |
