Exactly bro the spam rate have increased in the board and it the reason why i also don’t fancy this board like before and if we don’t get a moderator soon managers might stop accepting posts from this board to count for their campaigns.

I don observe say na newbies de flood the board, the number of posts made in the local de surprising because anytime i check my telegram notifications the number of naija board posts de pass every other one and most of them are not deserving my contributions so i don’t even bother myself.

Alot of higher ranks don warn against spam and off topic posts but them just de ignore am which is really discouraging lots of this higher ranks to merit posts. There are few members that make quality posts here though so all this spam posts no fit stop us from meriting quality posts. I believe na wetin fit encourage them to improve their post quality.

You can’t be so certain of Arsenal winning

Arsenal winning will depend on the performance of Liverpool defense in my opinion, Arsenal merely showed they are recovering from a bad form and we hope they keep it consistent but with Arsenal’s performance especially in their attacking department I don’t think they will find it difficult penetrate Liverpool defense easily. Liverpool have a solid central back with Konate sitting at that back and their previous match together proved Arsenal’s attack are not in form to easily penetrate them.

The match will be an interesting match as always and a very tight one making it difficult to predict a winner. Mo Salah’s absence is a huge blow for Liverpool and he will definitely be missed in the game. Arsenal have the upper hand to win if they make use of the advantage of Salah missing out but at the same time Liverpool cannot be underestimated even with the absence of Salah.

I was not scared to make comments on discussions i have knowledge about and i was not really concerned what rank made a post when i was a newbie if i see a post i can contribute to i don’t hesitate to comment regardless of the rank of the OP but then during my earliest days i was more interested in learning about the technical aspect of bitcoin so learning and asking questions was my main priority.

As a newbie there will lots of post which you will find difficult to comment on so it’s not all threads you must comment on, if you have nothing to contribute to the post you should let it be and follow up discussion to improve your knowledge about the topic. That’s how newbies grow gradually.


It is normal to have such feelings as a newbie and most people here also started out that way, scared to make post with the fear of not posting something out of context so you are not the only one with such feelings but i believe your fear stem from uncertainty about your knowledge that’s why you get scared, anyone who is sure of his/her knowledge will have confidence to speak anywhere regardless of who they are faced with. This is a discussion forum and anywhere newbies are not allowed to post means their opinions are not relevant, there are few boards where newbies are not allowed to participate other than those you are free to make valid comments and contributions to any discussion thread regardless of the rank of the OP but always know your boundaries as a newbie and never disrespect anyone.

If the injury is not a serious one then there is every possibility of him recovering and still participating in the AFCON if they are not yet eliminated but i have come to understand that no matter how little the injury, the player must be out for a week or two and if Salah should be out for up-to two weeks then there would be no AFCON to participate in anymore as he would have missed out.

If the injury is not a serious one it will be a good news for Liverpool and the fans because Salah would have.m almost recovered and would be available for selection. Salah is an important player for Liverpool but despite his absence they are still scoring goals and winning matches but his presence would be crucial in the Europa League.

Those two meeting at the final will be intense and most importantly interesting match to watch and no one can say for sure who is going to win. Chelsea are not consistent sonce the beginning of the season but they have always put up a good fight against bigger teams and have managed to surprise us.

It is going to be a final so both teams would be serious and cautious so I wouldn’t expect much goals from the match. You shouldn’t compare the past with the present, most of the players that played back then are no more here and if it should end in a penalty shootout then it will be down to luck. Don’t forget Chelsea’s new goalkeeper Petrovic have shown his ability and have proven not to be a bad goalie in terms of penalty kicks

No assurance on a winner yet but Liverpool are in better form than Chelsea currently and have more chances of winning the final.

Their misconception is that individuals who are successful achieved it overnight because they have internalised the success stories of others. Though it takes much longer to become proficient, trading isn't difficult per se—it's just highly complex for beginners to grasp quickly. Gaining knowledge of the fundamentals is the only way to successfully navigate the trading world and turn a profit. Even the most knowledgeable and experienced traders will tell you not to trade when you lack sufficient knowledge since, even as experienced and knowledgeable as they are the profit is never guaranteed risk of loss is only minimized.


Your points are somewhat valid, but in my opinion i believe that knowledge encompasses everything else you've said. When someone takes the time to learn about trading, they gain discipline in learning how to regulate their emotions and manage risk, two skills that are necessary to master in order to succeed in trading. The most crucial thing a trader needs to do is acquire knowledge in order to fully comprehend it and be able to take calculated risks at all times.

There are people that constantly try to steal money from people who make money, and the cryptocurrency industry is no exception. Scammers appear to be attempting to devise increasingly creative methods as time goes on to defraud people of their money. The frequency of frauds and scam enterprises will rise as the bull run approaches, and it is our responsibility to protect our assets during this time. It is never acceptable to be unaware of something, especially when scammers take advantage of you by tricking you into investing in the wrong project or disclosing personal information.

As they say, "Knowledge is power," pursuing knowledge gives us the advantage over scammers.  It will be simpler to detect scams from a distance if you recognise the many methods and strategies scammers utilise. Investing in altcoins increases the risk of falling for pump and dump or rug pull scams.  To my knowledge, investing in Bitcoin is the safest cryptocurrency investment. However, if someone is interested in other cryptocurrencies, they should do some research or, better yet, choose well-known cryptocurrencies to reduce the risk and chance of being scammed.


Many people have found themselves in difficult financial positions as a result of this mentality, their haste to get money quickly causes them to make decisions without fully thinking them through. Any site that offers free money or a rapid return is probably lying to draw investors to their platform because, in the cryptocurrency market, everyone is wanting to earn more money. As a result, there are actually no platforms that have money to give away. The majority of people who lack sufficient knowledge about cryptocurrencies are individuals who have the mindset of wanting to make a quick profit, they become impatient in their efforts to acquire knowledge and easily attracted by any small offer that seems to promise them a quick profit.  

Good performance from Chelsea and good comeback to turnover a goal lead that almost got them eliminated. They performed wonderfully well and were ruthless in this game which i know no one ever expected it happened, we expected a win but didn’t expect such goal margin. 6 goals is just too disrespectful but this shows how seriously they wanted to travel to Wembley.

They still have one more challenge ahead in the final and if they are able to overcome that challenge they would win themselves another trophy for the season. Let’s just hope they can perform this way and score as many goals as this in the final.

He is still more than capable to coach an elite team be it in the premier league, La liga or anny league and the world and he would still be able to compete with other top managers in the league. Mourinho is a very experienced coach that is known for transforming his team and also taking total control of players in the dressing room. Roma made a mistake letting him go, they might have their reasons but it doesn’t mean he will not offer anything to the club. Mourinho will have a lot of offers in coming weeks, offers would come from various clubs and various countries to choose from i hope he decides to continue in Europe and continue making history.

I agree with you on this, Barcelona should be excluded from the list because they are inconsistent at the moment struggling to win matches and compared to other teams they are matches are not as enjoyable as other teams in the list.

A teams level is determined it’s performance as you stated and that’s why I would disagree with you about Manchester City remaining first, don’t rate them based on past performance, to be sincere Manchester City are lacking behind Real Madrid and Inter Milan at the moment. I so much enjoy the energy and mentality Inter Milan approach a match with and so far this season they have been more clinical in the attack so they can’t be underrated this season.

Liverpool is stronger than Arsenal no doubt and i also agree that Liverpool have the best striker depth in the league performance wise because all Liverpool attackers are involved in goal scoring and are very good counter attacking players.

Manchester City being the favorites I wouldn’t agree about that, i thought they were the favorites when the league started but injury hit them and they began to struggle just like every other team, it could be as result of lack of adequate squad depth. They are points away from Liverpool and if they were up against Arsenal i would not give up on them but Kloop is a very stubborn coach to challenge in situations like this so I have all hopes high for Liverpool.

Overtaking Liverpool would mean Liverpool would have to lose their matches and Manchester City winning theirs which is very unlikely to happen, Liverpool are already sighting the trophy from afar so they will be more focused and serious to win it than ever.

Beginners should be discouraged from trading due to the risk involved, but they may still be persuaded to try by success stories they hear about others who have made money trading. Not that they can't succeed at it, but we know how beginners tend to disregard any guidance telling them to study before taking any action. I wouldn't mind if they could complete the learning process before beginning to trade, but I'm sure they would choose to forgo learning in favour of starting right away. This would never end well for them, it would be like their killing themselves with their own hands if they traded without knowledge.
 
Trading is not for beginners, and even experienced traders find it extremely difficult because it involves a lot more work and knowledge than simply investing and holding. It also takes a long time to learn because there are many features that must be fully understood, which can be difficult for beginners.  It is recommended that beginners stick to investing and hodling since it would be safer and easy for them.


Hodling is surely the safest route for beginners because understanding and having an in-depth knowledge about the cryptocurrency market and the behavioral pattern of coins is key to successful trading and it is usually difficult and takes a lot of time to achieve and also requires a strong mindset that can handle any kind of outcome which is unlike the beginners as they are only focused on making profits.


The bull run is around the corner but i have never heard of any predictions of having the bull run in January, most predictions i come across still predict it to be months away or even a year. The next bull run is expected to happen after the arrival of bitcoin halving and we are yet to witness bitcoin halving and January is just a few days away from its end so if your claims were to be right we should be witnessing bitcoin halving already.

Make rightful claims backed up with proof so before making any statement you are required to carry out proper research especially when talking about the arrival of bull run. For sure no one is certain about the exact date it will begin and all talks are merely speculations.

Read this post about when bull run is expected and here is an update made by @1miau as at January 21st, 2024 which shows that bitcoin halving is less than 100 days away (87 days and some hours away).

When small teams like Girona starts their season excellently everyone always expects them to drop in performance after a few games or most likely after the end of the 1st leg of the season but in this case Girona doesn’t seem like they are slowing down anytime soon. They have been excellent and have been giving Real Madrid a strong challenge and even though they eventually lose the title to Madrid i think they deserve our respect for the performance so far.

Sevilla on the other hand are not so impressive this season, they are struggling in the La Liga and the Champions League they were eliminated out of the Champions League and couldn’t make it the Europa league this time around and if they don’t improve their performance they could see themselves in the relegation zone and could get themselves relegated if care is not taken.

Op what form of discussion are you trying to create now? Assuming I want to make a reply to your post what would be my response now. If you want to grow, this kind of post are not beneficial at all and they will get you nowhere so i advise you improve or rather start by learning before posting anything. Just a newbie with few posts and you have already dented your account with a neutral feedback so soon by using AI to post all because you neglect the learning process.


This local board have become more active than it used to be but Newbies are getting it wrong here, they keep flooding the board with off topic posts that have no use or benefit for the members here. I think this board needs a moderator here to flush away posts like this

Gambling is a risky investment that have a 50/50 chance of success so i believe before engaging in it you should be aware of this and understand properly how it works before you start betting. Betting for a newbie can be challenging and it only takes luck to start your gambling journey with a streak of wins. You must be strong hearted  to gamble and always control your emotions when gambling, avoid getting greedy and most importantly gamble an amount you can afford to lose so you don’t mess yourself up. Don’t borrow money to gamble and don’t involve too much gambling to prevent getting addicted, always gamble at fixed intervals and not frequently.

Don’t take your first gambling result too seriously as it is merely the beginning and if you lose it is not a bad start you should rather learn from your mistakes.

I find this post irrelevant as anyone who takes the forum seriously would not find it hard to navigate around the forum and for a thread full of applications by other members it is always in the first page of the beginners and Help board so any newbie who is finding it difficult to locate it is probably here for a different reason and not interested in ranking up or probably not finding it difficult to rank up.


Apply in the link doesn’t guarantee them receiving merit, @hugeblack doesn’t just give out merits without reviewing the posts properly so any post not up to standards are not merited. Newbies applying must put in efforts in their posting else they won’t be merited.

I agree with you on this, i also think they are still in the title race but they need to be more consistent with their performance to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City. Liverpool is showing no signs of slowing down and Manchester City looked more confident and challenging with the recovery of  De Bruyne and they will be more clinical with Haaland back in the squad as well so there is more work ahead for Arsenal to match up with these two teams.

Winning a match can help bring back the confidence of the team but it is not enough, back to back wins and more consistency is all that is required.

We have our various view of things and if you think paying house rent in bitcoin is a mistake i am sure you have your reasons which you have stated in your post but it is unwise of you to think such person lacks financial knowledge. Bitcoin was created to serve several purposes and solve problems one of which is to serve as a means of payment alternative to Fiat. I don’t think i have come across a place where it is being stated that bitcoin was created as an investment tool, we are merely taking advantage of its volatile nature which is more like killing two birds with a stone.

If want the adoption rate to keep growing higher and if both parties are okay with bitcoin payments then i see nothing wrong with that. Allow me to take you back to when bitcoin was used to purchase pizza what do you have to say to that? A terrible mistake?
Holding bitcoin is wise but that shouldn’t be a reason not to spend our bitcoin as we please.


True, but it is all dependent on the person in question, is is okay with it? I own my bitcoin and i have the right to use it the way i pleases. It is advantageous to hold bitcoin and paying house rent from your bitcoin holding doesn’t mean you are selling off your entire bitcoin.

Companies adopting bitcoin and people accepting bitcoin payments in their businesses has been a good development for bitcoiners as it have helped make things more easier for them.

No man wants to become irrelevant or surpassed by others that’s where the greed for wanting more emerges from. Being an average individual with an average status doesn’t make one seek out competition from others but at the top the competitive level is very high that’s why people with high status seek for more status (power, wealth, properties and assets) to match up the level at the top so they don’t become irrelevant or inferior to others. Nothing is never enough, we are human and we were created to seek for more except if we are yet to achieve a certain level but once achieved we will want to soar higher.

Humans naturally want more, believing that their current level, rank, or position is inappropriate for them. They yearn to rise above their current situation and pursue greater goals, whether they be related to status, riches, power, or knowledge, believing that their current status would never suffice once attained. The same is true with the forum levels; when I first started, I wanted to be a Senior Member, but now that I've attained it, I am seeking for Legendary rank, and I think I'm not the only one who feels this way.


With a thousand merits are you the only one that achieved the milestone? No, we have lots of Legendary rank members with  a thousand plus merit but the one that is easily recognized everywhere is the one with the highest merit point so there you have your little competition for the most merited user. But you should understand that here in the forum everyone just wants to keeps contributing and helping others as it is their duty and while performing their duty the merits keep coming.

Kevin de Bruyne is an exceptional player who should be given a spot alongside great footballers as he has shown his brilliance and ability in big stages and have kept a consistent form despite suffering from injury, he just continues from where he left off as if he never left.

He is playing a huge role for his team and Guardiola, he is a player capable of changing the course of a game singlehandedly and it would have been a different story for Manchester City if he was not injured and out for months, they could have easily been top of the table with him around and Haaland would have been by far the leading goal scorer just as he did last season.

The team should make plans and start thinking of a replacement for him, his age is gradually wearing off and in a short time he would not be fit to play for Manchester City anymore so signing a replacement for him should be given a thought as soon as possible and now that he is being linked to other clubs it means he has no much time left to play for them.
