In fact, Real Madrid had to trail 0-1 to Atletico Madrid through Mario Hermoso's header in the 7th minute. Maybe, this is a little surprising to most fans, but Atletico Madrid is a team that has always been a problem for Real Madrid so far. I know the match has just started and it's only about 15 minutes of the first half, meaning there's still plenty of time to see how the first half ends.

Diego Simeone's plan for this match was perfect, I mean he really wanted his team to get ahead and score first instead of letting Real Madrid take the lead. Of course, Real Madrid can still rise because they also fielded their best squad in this match. However, Atletico Madrid has a chance to win this match too.
The score is 2-1 at half time and there are still 15 minutes left, I think Real Madrid will win this match even though this opponent will be a little troublesome at Real Madrid's home.

It looks like this match will be more interesting because I want Real Madrid to win with pretty good odds of 2.05 I also hope Atletico Madrid doesn't get another goal back although I know in the second half anything can happen because both teams are very likely to win but the favorite is still Real Madrid.

Will this Spanish Super Cup final be another El Clasico match? Given that Barcelona are only up against Osasuna.
For Real Madrid to have found their way back into this game by scoring those two against athletico Madrid is a sign that Real Madrid can win this match, though the athletic club are causing so much havoc against the Real Madrid defenders causing them to run helter skelter but Real Madrid have shown some character here tonight despite twice in the first half they still pulled two back and levelled up the score line, i think they can still win this match if they mount more pressure on the athletic side and make them feel uncomfortable then they might get the winner before the 90th minutes elapse.

2021 Jadon Sancho was sold from Dortmund to Manchester United for 85 million euros. Since then, he has not performed as well as he used to at Dortmund. Now both clubs have agreed that Sancho will return to Dortmund for the next 6 months. The medical check still has to be done. Let see if he can regain his old form. He played his last game at Manchester United at the end of August. Dortmund has no option in the contract to buy him after the 6 months.
At least an agreement has been reached between MU and dortmund. So, jadon's transfer to the dortmund is entering final process. Manchester united hopes that jadon can go back to his best performance after he played for dortmund again, but im doubting it.
This may probably helping sancho to regain his confidence but the worst thing if terzic will not give him a place in the starting lineup if he will show same performance like when he played for manchester united.

https://www.90min.com/posts/man-utd-borussia-dortmund-reach-agreement-jadon-sancho
When jadon Sancho first arrived at Manchester United it was highly anticipated that he was gonna be the new Christiano Ronaldo due to his escapades in Germany with Borussia Dortmund where he scored numerous goals and gave alot of assist, he came in with lots of prospects, he was very young and had a good knowledge of the game, besides he was british so he was very excited to play in his home country, but things never turned out to be as everybody thought, he had to work with different coaches who had different ideologies and style of play which he(sancho) couldnt cope with and as result made him sit on the bench or came in as substitute. Am so glad to learn that the player is going back to Dortmund where he had a good time and I believe he is going to use this time out to redeem his self esteem and also get back to former status.

Chelsea dominated the game but squandered a host of chances, with Cole Palmer particularly wasteful. Now Middlesbrough now have a slender advantage ahead of the return meeting at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can get the chance to right the wrongs in two weeks when they host the replay. I think Chelsea are even very lucky that the goal difference isn’t much. They will have the chance to put things right in the second leg. If the result of this match doesn't make you want to sign a world-class striker I don't know what will. Honestly, no team will win anything with players who can't finish.

The faith for Chelsea winning the match was datched out by the players who obviously missed alot of chances to make that goal record that could have put Chelsea in the best possible position to have won the match, but with the level of missed chances during the match, it further pushes us to the point to conclude that Chelsea as a club has lost it position as the one-time champions who have delivered and expected to recover asap from the previous crisis that has rocked the club for some time now which have resulted into this current players demotivation.
Many of Chelsea fans have given up on the club's ability to make something good out of this season, and just like the last season, no hope of recovery for the club as it stance right now, Chelsea is gradually losing out, and the speed at which that is happening is quite alarming.
I think the coach should be blamed for the outcome of yesterday's match and Chelsea's misfortunes recently, they played very well, created alot of chances but failed to utilize any of these chance because there was no striker to convert those chances, so I wonder why a team like Chelsea would not have more than one striker or a backup striker to fill the gap in the absence of their main striker Jackson, the transfer market is open and i expect chelsea to get a striker now or risk loosing more important games before the return of their striker.

Everyone will see whether Liverpool's performance really gets worse without Mohamed Salah, because currently Liverpool should still be considered a fairly strong team in the Premier League. So that makes their current rivals continue to improve their respective lines of players well enough to be able to catch Liverpool in the upcoming match this week. But this week I think Liverpool will still win because their opponent is not the strongest rival here.
Mo Salah absence will definitely affect this Liverpool side. We saw their game against Arsenal and it was evident that there was no real threat in the attack. I think navigating life without him might be something Liverpool will have to get accustomed to if they are serious about winning the EPL this season. Klopp is an experienced manager. I trust him to handle the situation very well. Liverpool have different options that can play there; Elliott, Gakpo, and Diogo Jota. They can also change their system to something that other players can adapt to in the meantime.

I think we have seen Liverpool win many games in the absence of both Mane and Salah in last years African cup of nations. Klopp is definitely going to be creative to get the results he wants in his absence.
If not for the African cup coming up, many of the stars like Mo Salah wouldn't have been absent. He is one of the top goal scorers for Liverpool right now and his input in any match I'd always phenomenal. We can see that during their last match against Arsenal.
It is just inevitable for him to be absent in the national side, else,  am sure he would retire from international football and focus more on club football if he wants to remain a dominant force for Liverpool.
Mohammad Salah is just 31 years old, and he is having good desire for playing his country Egypt with having dream of winning trophies as well even things are not favourable but still he is doing good job for the country and club as well with no intention of having early retirement from any side now he is going to Egypt for having his three games which are going to play in January and Liverpool is going to miss him but good thing happening they are not having tough games which create any problem for them with after thing how things will go it's not sure, but he is one of the best in current era who is doing his best in all in his absence we will have good replacements in Liverpool which can give their best and keep things at the top level.
Liverpool has always been a team built around their talisman mohammed Salah since Jürgen klopp took over as head coach, over the years mohammed Salah has always been their top scorer and best player ever since so i expect them to face some hard times without him for the moment, but i dont think they are going to lose  any game but they would have to struggle to get the goals coming in as much as they do when salah is around.

I agree with you, I don't see why Xavi is to be blamed for what Barcelona are going through right now. There is no way that they Barcelona will be winning the league every season. If they are not winning the games now, I think the team is just in a transition and will do better next season if they buy the right players. For me Xavi has done well as a coach.
The coach is fully responsible for the decline in the team's performance. Last season Barcelona performed extraordinary by winning the La Liga trophy, while this season Barcelona's performance has experienced a very significant decline compared to last season. The coach's dismissal occurred due to the team's increasingly poor performance. Tuchel has experienced the situation when Chelsea is unable to maintain its best performance. He is the one who is being blamed for the team's poor performance.
It's true, it's impossible for Barcelona to win trophies every season, at least he must be able to make Barcelona compete with Real Madrid in the title race.

For me, as long as Barcelona can still stay in the top four, of course it will still be a good result and not bad at all. I also don't expect Barcelona to always be a title candidate every season because maintaining consistency is certainly not as easy as imagine . But indeed, because Barcelona during Xavi coaching was only good in La Liga, and then if this season Barcelona fails in La Liga then of course that will be a bad result because Barcelona is also not very promising in getting good results in the Champions League.
I can't blame xavi Hernandez for anything that is happening now in the Barcelona team, he won the league last season against all odds and since then the competition has become intence, hence i expect barca to have to difficult time this season, it is normal for teams like barca to experience such difficulties especially when you have injury worries within the fold, this all points to fact that barca needs more experienced player who are hungry to win big things and players who possess the right mentality to win games.

Haaland's injury seems to be making Man City difficult. Since losing against Aston Villa, Haaland has not appeared. This makes Man City weak, and if it doesn't improve soon it might make it difficult for Man City to compete in the UCL or in the EPL. Man city has not found a player who can replace Haaland at this time. Although indeed in several matches Man City always won after Haaland was injured against Aston Villa.
Yes, you are right about this, Manchester City did seem to struggle when Haaland was injured. Man City's dull front line seems to remind Haaland of his important role, because without Haaland the team feels like it has lost its life if there are no key players. It looks like Pep Guardiola has to get used to it and look for a replacement for Haaland for a while, to stay focused and consistent when Manchester City's key player suffers an injury like this, so that the team's performance in the future still looks good and of high quality. That way, I'm sure they can definitely win the match in the next UCL and EPL matches.
If Haaland can't play, they can actually apply the strategy where they haven't brought Haaland, which is to play without a pure striker or play with a false nine, but it's not easy because they also need to familiarize themselves with that strategy again.
But in my opinion it is not a big problem as long as KDB is in the squad again, because for me the life of the Manchester City game is in the role of KDB. This was very pronounced when Manchester City played without KDB. Usually when a team loses a striker but they have a player with the ability to read the game well, they will be able to play well too. The loss will be felt, but not that much.
I agree with you, such a thing happened last season when Manchester City played against Arsenal, it was Kevin De Bruyne who scored 2 goals against Arsenal, and it was in the dying minutes that Haaland scored one goal for Manchester City.
I think the reverse is the case here because Manchester city are kind of better without their main striker(Erling haaland) at the moment since he got injured they have been winning some of their games across both in the league and champions league matches, reason being that with the style of play of Manchester city right now, it is difficult to withstand their attacking force, because you wouldn't have any striker upfront to mark which makes it difficult for the opponents to stop the manchester city forwards from scoring more goals from any angle.

If you check Fabrizio's Facebook or Twitter page you will see that he has made a statement about Mbappe's current situation. He said that Mbappe's camp has not made any decisions on if he will move clubs or something. So I think it is pretty clear that he has not signed any deal or something.  If he had signed any deals with Real Madrid, we would have heard many rumors about it already since major transfers like these do not get done without leaks. Fabrizio assured me that no deal has taken place yet between them.

Besides Real Madrid has said that they won't be signing anyone new this season. Whether or not Mbappe will be coming next season is not confirmed though. There are still 6 months from then and anything can happen in 6 months.
What we are talking about is the possibility that will happen and even though it could end with Mbappe not signing a contract with Real Madrid. Fabrizio Romano is a professional football player transfer expert and when he says something the truth value is close to 90% and you are right so far he has not said anything on his official Twitter page regarding Mbappe's future. The biggest rumors will definitely involve Mbappe's name on the current transfer market and it is certain that the media will try to find a trusted source to cover it.

All possibilities can still happen because the transfer market is still quite long and I hope there is clarity regarding Mbappe's future because he will develop much more when he plays with Real Madrid. At least for his individual career achievements in making achievements in football and for the team he can bring Real Madrid back to win the Champions League next season.
Well I think Real Madrid are being careful not to allow the media into any sensitive information as regards kylian mbappe's imminent move to Spain and I believe that in no distant time everything will be made public about mbappe's future, it is expected that the french talisman will sign for real Madrid in this transfer window for a world record transfer fee that will enable him part ways with french giants PSG this January.

Is there some metric or study somewhere that could let us know how many individuals (individual humans) currently hold Bitcoin as an asset? Are there any metrics that could approximate the number? Estimate change over time?

I would think this would be a key metric in understanding the market.
I don't think it's possible for you to know the number of persons that have bitcoin at the moment because first of all,  there are some persons that want to keep their financial dealings privately and bitcoin enhances that or gives that support for you to keep your private financial life or their bitcoin investment private away from the eyes of the public, so it will be very hard for you to find out how many persons are holding bitcoin at the moment, however I've not seen any matrics that can be used to approximate the number of holders.

This season is a tough one, we can see already more than three teams competing closely for the title. Kelvin De Bruyne’s return is definitely a huge boost for Manchester City who haven’t been at their very best level since his injury. With or without KDB, Manchester City were going to win over Huddersfield anyway so bringing KDB on was just to increase the torture and dominance.

Kevin De Bruyne had not played a match for 5 months, if you are taking a long break after being injured, returning with such a simple match is a very good option. He was back on the field without tiring himself, and they took as little risk as possible.
I hope the effects of your injury end soon. There are already news about De Bruyne's transfer, maybe he can become a star in a team like Al Nassr if he doesn't get injured.  Smiley
I was really happy about Kevin De Bruyne's come back, but just like you said I believe with time pep guardiola might offload him, because it's as if the teams has gotten used to his absence, however the Manchester city team hasn't gotten that master stroke yet in terms of winning ways, so in another vain allowing him just to go like that will affect the team general performance because De Bruyne still have a lot to offer, he just got back from injury allow him some time to blend with his teammates and you will see his firepower.

I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.

Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.
Ordinarily in life anything that is born out of addiction will certainly ruin your life, your relative will try as much as they can to salvage you from that chains of chronicity because they cannot just stand and watch you go down the drain as either they are relatives or a friends, so a healthy gambling lifestyle for everybody is what we should be always preaching,  so for me whatever measures the relatives are taking to curtail the excesses of the victim, is a welcome development, ordinarily they will be ashamed of the situation but they are the only help the person have.

A woman (elderly) was spotted in a gambling shop seriously making predictions on virtual gaming and with the way she plays it appears that she has been gambling for a long time now. But what really caught people's attention after spending much time gambling for that day  was her reaction which expresses frustration and disappointment from someone that must have lost a pool of cash to unfavourable gambling prediction's for the day. The image below says it all.

source

Quote
This specific image led some Nigerians to ponder why an elderly woman would engage in betting. Questions arose, with some wondering whether the woman aimed to elevate her blood pressure or if she had used shared contributions for virtual betting.

There are places where it's  normal and a regular thing seeing elderly women gambling in a gamble shop but in this part of the world it is uncommon and for that it seems weird seeing such an elderly woman seriously gambling and that's why many persons are pondering about her engagement in betting.

However, I want to know as forum members from different parts of the world your thought's towards this based on your environmental perspective towards gambling irrespective of whosoever is involved be it young or elderly in as much as the individual is of gambling age.

Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

Going by your words "dedicated gambler", nobody would want such thing for their mother, I can agree or give my support to my mother if she gambles seasonally, but wanting to dedicated her entire time into gambling is a NO NO for me. Gambling is for both genders, I've seen some ladies that are good predictors, and they leave a very mentally stable lifestyle with everyone Around them, so apparently I will give my support to my mother if she gambles responsibly.

Newcastle had a nightmare in the middle of the season. The injury crisis faced by them has really become an obstacle and this is what causes their performance to decline drastically. The victory over Sunderland means a lot for Newcastle. Indeed, this is not a Premier League match but at least it could boost their morale and it can be motivation to be better, but once again, they will face another tough test, where they have to play against Man City.
The victory over Sunderland means a lot for the morale of Newcastle players following the tough match against Manchester City next weekend. This is Newcastle's first win in their last 5 matches in all competitions, but Sunderland is basically not a benchmark that Newcastle's form has returned.

Currently Manchester City has found its best form again after losing points against Aston Villa and being forced to draw against Crystal Palace. Manchester City also recently won the Club World Cup title against Fluminense, so player morale and motivation should be improving ahead of the away game against Newcastle. But before that, Manchester City must complete the FA Cup third round match against Huddersfield at the Etihad, a home win is mandatory for them.
Injury scare is one of the biggest issue today in world football, Newcastle united is not the only club to suffer from this menace but they have to learn to adapt to the status quo and also profer a lasting solution to their problems and also try and participate actively in January transfer window so that they block all the loop holes so as to start getting back to where they were before they were hardly hit by this injury worries this season. Newcastle United had a very interesting spell last season that saw them qualify for the uefa champions League last season alongside Manchester United, arsenal and Manchester City but they failed to qualify for the next round after a disappointing campaign which saw them ousted out the competition but as it, they are far from repeating that feat due to their sudden decline this season as a result of injury worries, though they look as if they can get back to winning ways before the end of the season.
613  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Neo-colonialism: Is Nigeria Still Under British Rule? on: January 06, 2024, 06:19:18 PM
The answer to the topic of discussion is "YES" . Nigeria is not only under the British rule but, we are under the rule of the first and second world powers.

Neo-colonialism is a concept of governance or principle that  stipulates and promote an indirect capturing and domination of the processes of governance and economy of former colonial territories or states.

Neo-colonialism is mostly an economic domination of formerly colonized areas by their former colonial masters through modern means of economics.

Imperialism and Neo-colonialism started it's foundation in Nigeria as the former Royal Niger Company. The company had the authority of the royal seal to extract and export the natural resources of Nigeria to England for the advancement of their economy and industrial productions.

The system of governance adopted our traditional institution on two grounds 1. For language interpretation and 2. Resistance by the people. This whole adoption was for administrative convinence band elimination of resistance.

The native people became part of the exploitation process of themselves and their generations which we are seeing today. The introduction of the traditional institution into the process for the British government to rule the people through the chiefs and kings, the process provided,  An elite class that  became marchants  through incorporation into this evil of exploitation.

And after the gain of independence, the Nigerian state is still exploited through multinational corporations and companies Like Shell and Chevron, where our people are kept at the levels of artisans and administrators while , they bring their people as technical expartes.

In most cases like the days of colonialism, our people are kept as administrative heads in supporting the transfer of our resources to Europe and America for processing and reintroduction into Nigeria as finished goods.

The end tale of this arrangement is that, Nigeria becomes the source of their raw materials and their market. With this pattern, Nigerians are used to kill the idea of indigenization, production and distribution to show their loyalty to the western imperialist and to keep their administrative positions in those companies.

We must liberate ourselves through enlightenment. Your contributions please.
Neo-colonialism and imperialism by kwame Nkrumah was one of the books that expose some of these pre-colonial and post colonial economic dominance, but personally I will like to disagree with some of these postulations because in the present economic and political governance of the Nigerian state, we can see that the direct policies of government are made by indigenous leaders of the Nigerian state, these present policies that are made, gives a direct economic effect of Nigeria at the moment. Of course everybody will have a history some of the realities of the past, some can be cruel and some can be brutal, but in all it points to the fact that we were coming from somewhere,  we where exploited at one point no doubt, one thing is you should understand is the fact that some of this dominance are pre-colonial and in this post colonial era, the effect of government policies is carried by leaders of the moment, so I absorb the colonial masters of the present economic or social political crisis that is bedeviling the Nigerian state.
Those of them at helm's of affairs should start making policies and programs that will better the lots of their people, policies that are geared towards human development and economic Sustainability, and you will see that some of this memories that we have about pre-colonial events will begin to fizzle out and remain as history.  We are not the only country in the world that where colonized by the British, there are lots and lots of countries that were colonized by British and have moved on and developed themselves in an advance manner.

The thought and belief of not having enough of something brings forth the constant pursuit of that object. Thus, acting as if we never have enough of a resource will allow us cognitively to always be looking to acquire said resource and then eventually this will lead to a surplus, right? Gosh I hope so! Becuase I sure need to get more BTC and I don't have enough!!!

I was just watching a youtube from KITCO NEWs with Gary Cardone. Thats right, Gary Cardone NOT his asshole brother Grant Cardone LMAO!!!! Gary had a lot of great things to say that were extremely logical and bullish. I'll put the link in here later.

If we have this mindset then we will always be trying to get as much of it as we can. Lets face it, getting BTC is at this point more rewarding for the average person than buying Real Estate, Gold, Silver, Oil stock, etc. Lets keep stacking! I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH!!! STACK SATS!!

Having bitcoin at this point is very important no doubt because the bull run is around the corner, but one thing you should understand is the fact that even if you don't have too much resources to get as much of Bitcoin you want, you can use the small resource you have  to get the the little you can, little by little you can grow the amount you've gotten but having it in mind that you want to get a good number when you know you don't have much resource will be very difficult, so stack the little you have and grow it.

We now live in a world where we are busy making money and making ends meet. We have to in order to survive. The competition is so high that sometimes we lose ourselves in that process. We are busy making a successful life so that no one related to us won't suffer. Having a decent bank balance, having a property or having a car. Working to the extreme to make that dream come true.

But in that process, are we giving enough attention to our surroundings? People close to us or our loved ones, are we giving enough time to them? When we are gone, what will they say about us? Or even if someone left us forever, will we have enough memory to remember them?

Earning money and being successful is important in life. But never forget who you are and the people around you. Money is not everything. It is important to survive but make sure to take some time to bond with people around you. It will also help reduce the anxiety or stress that you are having because of all that work.

Trust the process, you will be successful one day for sure. But never lose your own soul in that process.

The survival of the human  race from time memorial has not been an easy one, people strive day in day out to foot their bills, because if you don't foot your bills, nobody will do that for you and that is the reality of the Human nature and is surprising that in all the creatures of God is only human being that needs money to survive and in the quest of having that money they work everyday to earn every dime, that is why we always end up apologizing to our loved ones for not having or spending time will them mostly because they have to understand that we have to earn to make a living.

I got frustrated at first from the kind of responses on my post and I took a break from the site, after all I am not unemployed.... I have a seven digit paying Job I love so much...

The reason I am on this forum is passive, though I want to learn more about Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency.

Consequently, along the line I understood that commenting and attacking people's posts on this platform is part of the reason some people grow faster here.

I gradually understood that the dynamics of this forum is that it's compulsory for members to post something daily and what you post do not have to consider what/how others feel about what is said to them.... Some Members just want to have points and remain active on the forum...

I wonder if the Professionals here weren't once newbies...

Nobody is an expert in life and on this forum.... The last time I asked, I was told that an a professional or an expert is someone who has learned less and less about more and more until he has known everything about nothing....

We are all here to learn and maybe earn along the way...

Stop the belittling of Newbies on this forum.

Make your points on people's posts constructively and with respect.
Going through your post I can deduce that you are getting some misconception about the forum, of course every professional was once a newbie, every professor was also once a student, I understand that maybe you've been talked down upon by some members, but believe me that is not the models operandi of this great forum, as most members are here to always give you a guideline once you ask the appropriate question on this forum, so if anybody might have attacked your comment don't take it to heart as that is human nature naturally for you, rather you should take a lift from those that have answered the question give asked appropriately.

A Polygon-based gambling site allows gamblers to gamble on the outcome of the spot Bitcoin ETF application by some investors. Gamblers are required to choose Yes” or “No” bets on whether the Bitcoin ETF applications will be approved or not. According to a report about $1.5 million worth of bets have been placed and bettors are patiently waiting for SEC's decision. From reports it seems that the majority of gamblers believe that the SEC will approve so the majority of them choose yes.

I know that there are diverse bets on unconventional events like Miss World, the US election and even wars. But this one is new and I just want to know if you will be comfortable betting on the spot Bitcoin ETF.

I am surprised to this new betting pattern, first i am a traditional gambler, such kind of betting isn't too fine with me because I cannot ordinarily predict the outcome, this approval from SEC has been on their table for a very long time, I feel is another means to mount pressure on SEC to go on with the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF without hesitation. however brought up the concept has made some good moves because it's nice trying to see some people stick out their money in support of the ETF, because lots of people will bet in favour of the approval.

Good day everyone,,, I would like to share my winning with you guys, but I am not just doing it because I won the bet, but it is because it wasn't the amount I wanted to stake that I staked.

A friend of mine collected $10 from me earlier yesterday and I wanted to use the money to gamble, but based on, he is my friend. I gave him the $10 he asked for, and the guy said he would return the $10 back ASAP after 3 hours, but he didn't and the $10 was the amount and same money I wanted to use and stake a bet (I have some coins but don't have cash and I don't want to sell any penny of my coins for any reason). But letter on, I used 1000 naira ($1) to stake the bet and I won 49,814 naira (about $50+).

Now I am angry at my friend because he didn't keep to his words. Although I am still happy about the win, I wish he had given me back the $10. Then, I would have win bigger money.
Don't be angry about your friend but rather you should be happy about the fact that you are able to win your prediction, looking at the games you predicted and the outcome I can really tell that you are a good predictor, using $1 to win $50 that's a good predicting outcome. Though you could have won more money if your friend had given you back the money you borrowed him, but then half bread they say is better than none.

From my own side I go talk say the two of them na actually prediction because even after you dn run analyses you no really dey sure of anything. I dn ask people wey dey into forex but some dey claim say e dey different. If you get idea about the two i go like know if anything really dey different for the two of them
It difficulty to separate their two, as the both of them are circled around prediction and statistics of possible outcome, forex has to do with the forex market and how you can buy or predict the flow of currency with different signals, however gambling is almost the same thing because it has to do with predictions too, and how good you are with your analysis of games, it can be either football, basketball, volleyball etc, prediction wise you can say they are the same but content wise, they are different, because forex has a different concept on how to approach it.

This our country is a very funny one, we're starting our year with a slogan "No gree for anybody" and it trending everywhere on social media, it always cracks me up whenever I see a post or contents concerning it on the media, the one that amazes me most is someone's post on twitter saying " in 2024 if a job rejects your application, reject their rejection. Hold them for neck, No gree for anybody." And another person replied saying, "Dear Hr, thank you for the response, I could sense the empathy in the previous email. However I regret to inform you that I have reject your rejection. I will be present on the premises on the 9th of January to acquaint myself with the team. Best wishes, Adaeze" Lol. To be honest the fact that we picked this "No gree for anybody" and we're acting upon it gives me joy, the thing is "No gree for your self too" eh no get anything wey you no fit do so far life dey. Avoid procrastination, challenge yourself to do new things cause there's no limit to wetin you fit achieve.

 As the journey for the new year begins, never stop building towards your dream, try to set up goals for yourself and work hard enough to achieve them. Should there be any disappointments along the way, use them for a sturdier foundation. You are the only one who has to live your life, give yourself permission to live it for yourself and for the purpose God created for you, it would make you live a happy and fulfilled life, focus on your goals and try to ignore the rest, no gree make anybody distract you from your goals. The results you want dey the other side of your excuses, and I think the best way to create better future na to do your best for this very moment you dey alive and healthy. Don't forget, as you no gree for anybody, no gree for yourself too, challenge yourself to do better this year and things go fall in place.
Omo I feel say that slogan na just for grouse as I cannot find much meaning to it,  it's one of those social media trends that Nigerians always want to live up to, what's the content of no gree for anybody, trust me between now till the end of February, this slogan will just die a natural death as everybody will forget that it ever existed, because we will be too busy with our daily activities and personal challenges we will all face. Some of us no be Gen Z, way dey leave for the moment, as anything way dey trend them dey carry am for head.
