I have not rated the Red Devils well in my overall assessment of their performance in the entire season as they have not impressed us in the Premier League, and Champions League. At the Premier League, their lack of consistency have made them unpredictable of what match or games they can deliver or not. They are currently holding a 6th position in the table standing with a record of 7 loses since the beginning of the league.

The annoyance is that they are the club with the worst lose in the table ranking of the top 9 clubs of the league right now. I think it is also safe to acknowledge their underperformance in the champions league as worse of worst since they are the bottom brearers of the table and are worst than other two small clubs in the group A table including Copenhagen and Galatasaray. I think Eric Ten Hag has performed poorly through out this season.

It was a game over for Chelsea today as Everton's Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin netted the goals that secured Everton a good win over Chelsea and 3 points ahead of their points. In just 20 minutes into the match, Cole Palmer had booked a yellow card while the rest of the team were not looking boosted with their Morales in the match. I expected some strong efforts from Chelsea but reverse was the case as Everton's win over them was another lose after their last match making it a two game losing streak for the Blues.


Bernardo and Grealish were the two life savers for the Manchester City in this match, I enjoyed that of Grealish more as I thought Luton Town could probably draw with the Manchester City which would have hurt the club so badly as they are currently fighting to gain a chance at the top table right now.

Both Bernardo and Grealish's goals were more like a plan as the two players performed that magic within a blink of an eye. At least Manchester City gained a 3 point in this match and that has given them 33 points and 4th position in the table . Even if Tottenham eventually wins their upcoming match, they cannot overtake Manchester City for now as Manchester City is 6 points ahead of them. The first position which is currently held by Liverpool is still far from their reach for now though.

This is the most realistic assertions herein, the truth is, whether hardware wallets or airgapped wallets, in as much as it has a mode of transfering files or documents, being in online or offline, it can not be hundred percent safe. And the truth is, there's nothing like having something that is 100% safe. Not in real life, not in human inventories. There can always be breach to information when you try to transfer something out or into the device, the only truth about it is that, the more you try to stay away from unnecessary exposure of the secret files from online connection, the better it is safe and secure.

For instance, even your paper can not be safe. Mind you, you got the private key somewhere and from that moment which you acquired your private key, it becomes more exposed and vulnerable to attacks or hacks. However, being extremely careful and learning to improve on your security system will help a lot into security your private wallets. As for risking only what you can afford, I don't think it's always the case because as a human being, the nature is that we need to store our assets for so many reasons a few which includes theft, spending and others. It is because of this reason that we all store our assets. So you can not run away from storing your assets, but always work towards Ha mb protecting them.

I no go blame anybody about the situation wey we they inside now. That could be an opportunity in the sight of the transportation guys and for them it's there opportunity to move the market prices upward at a particular time. But as it is an opportunity for the transportation guys , it will not be to the travelers or commuters since as a passenger you're always looking for what's favourable to you and within your budget.

This is where the government is supposed to come in, to ensure there is a proper checkmate of the rates and that such rates are standardised and monitored by the related regulatory bodies including that of private car owners. The same issue is what we face with commodities, because there's an increase in the exchange rate and fuel subsidy removal, prices of some commodities have skyrocketed and still increasing by the day and no government body is taking a leadership role towards salvaging the situation for the benefit of the average and poor Nigerians. We are indeed the architects of our own problems.

We are all vulnerable to this fake money issue as many of us can not even identify between the real money and the fake one. Even the new redesigned Naira issue alone is enough to mislead one from identify the real Naira from the fake one due to the differences and similarities bestowed on these old and new Naira notes.

For someone like me, who is already used to cashless transactions even in the markets and amongst other small business, I may not be as vulnerable to this issue as someone who's a petty trader that is involved in the exchange of physical cash everyday of their business life. How such people are able to protect themselves and secure their businesses from fake money scam is not something I would know, however my advice for everyone using cash is;

1. Take note of the most obvious features in the cash notes. For instance, if there is a Security Thread embedded in the cash, try and ensure if that is there and if it's a correct match.

2. Try and compare the cash you are suspecting to be fake from the original ones already at your disposal to notice the similarities and the differences.

3. Also observe the color and the printing quality. This is why it will difficult for us to know the originality since the major or let's say the most noticeable difference between the new Naira notes and the old notes is the color. That can easily get you confused and you won't know which is real from that which is fake.

4. Also, try and check the CBN watermark that's printed on the notes, the CBN watermark is most visible when you raise the notes up to the light, so it becomes the shield between your eyes and the notes then you can see the watermark clearly.

These are majorly the ways one can easily differentiate between the fake Naira notes and the original ones. But, sincerely, the government needs to invest more on the regulation of the Naira notes and the discovery and discarding of the fake notes from the public consumption.

But what is the major reason why people gamble aside from the fun that they derive from it. I don't think if you remove fun out of why people gamble, there would be anything else aside from the monetary gain. So it will be surprising to expect people to gamble without expecting a win or to wish that a gambler lose in his first time trying to gamble. I think the euphoria that comes with gambling is untimely and it can always spring up at anytime a gambler wins a game, not necessarily his First time. That's why someone can win a gamble today, lose and be sad tomorrow, then win again and be extremely happy as if they were never sad about it . It is because the joy and happiness that comes with winning a gamble is untimely and always side by side with the situation the gambler finds themselves.

Overall, I think people gamble for the thrill that is in the risk of the game, the excitement that comes with winning a gamble, the monetary gain, entertainment, the socialisation, and sometimes to even escape depression. Some people gamble only when they are depressed and when they win , it brings that joy innate in them but the risk is that if they lose, they can become more depressed and hostile. The last reason I can think off is that, people gamble for the sake of solving their financial needs or crisis as oftentimes seen in students cases.

I believe we are all entitle our own opinion, but to be frank, the result that Napoli is getting now is sequel to their lack of sportsmanship in this season. Firstly, I feel like the President is interfering to many times in the internal issues more than he should as the President of the club. Sometimes I can say that he's acting like the manager or micromanaging the work of the manager thereby causing little conflicts between the team. The way the president is treating the players especially Victor Osimhen is affecting the club too and that's a testament of the club's performance this season.

But may I ask what exactly is wrong with Manchester United this season and why they will always disappoint their fans shamefully with the defeats and losses over this period. Why can't Manchester United be interesting to us to predict a win for them anytime they have a match but you're always left with much uncertainty as to who they can win or lose to and almost certain that they will lose big matches until proven wrong by them in some cases.

Alright, it is fine to say that Bournemouth have recorded a straight win over the last three matches, but it is not just okay for Manchester United to allow Bournemouth trash them with 3 goals over none. Like, that's absolutely shameful to me regardless of what happened at the game. Will the real Manchester United stand up please because Eric Ten Hag has always say that his club is going in the right direction, but how can we believe in this when all that we see is their lack of consistency over this season.

Let's see what Arsenal will play with Aston Villa today as Aston Villa is already 1 goal ahead of Arsenal and they are in their 15 minutes so far. I don't think Arsenal will underperform like the Manchester United because one is always more confident in the performance of the Gunners over the Red Devils. I'm ashamed!

If na individually we wan assess am, Nigeria dey among the top countries with the highest adoption of the Bitcoin technology. In fact, if we go list out top 5 countries wey dey quickly adopt the Bitcoin and wey don already adopt the Bitcoin by population, Nigeria fit carry number 1 sef for Africa because of our huge population and how rapid it is spreading through to the nooks and crannies of the country is superb for a comment. Within communities, and cities in the country.

Before now, the only way you can hear about Bitcoin is in school campuses from students that come from the other geopolitical zones, especially the south but will rarely hear about it from an indigenous person of the state unless of course you can't take out an handful of them that already have exposure. But now, Bitcoin is in the lips of almost all the young people and indigenes of the state.

If na government, na where we still dey lag behind be that because our central government never gree untop that adoption of Bitcoin up till now. My thoughts were as we transition in government from the Buhari administration to Tinubu's administration, we would experience a little change in the adoption of Bitcoin but up till this moment we never get better response regarding this.

I sha believe say, we never also gather enough muscles to show the government reasons why the adoption of the Bitcoin technology will reduce our over dependency in the forex or at least create another path for the government.

On my own little efforts, I dey try engage my new state government on the introduction of the Bitcoin education into our school curriculum, and that na the scope wey I been think say e go work since we no come out direct say we want make the state government adopt Bitcoin for any public use yet. Reason why I think am like this na him be say, I want make the new government start to they familiarize with the Bitcoin or better still have an understanding of the Bitcoin without mixing it up with the wrong and negative public perception on it.

I also want them to look at the proposal as another mark of achievement for their new administration, so before they become frustrated with the whole system of government, which is likely to happen at some point, we have scaled through with the proposal.

Hence, my efforts to meet with the SSG (Secretary to the State Government), Niger State of Nigeria through my delegation on Tuesday.

It is obvious that Manchester United is going home with their very poor performance this season as I can't expect Man U to win or draw over the German giants Bayern Munich. They don't look like mates in this season of champions league and I don't know why Eric Ten Hag can not summon much courage to improve his gameplay in inter-league match competitions. He has shown a reasonable weakness to the world that he can not perform as much with Manchester United when it comes with games outside the EPL and that's why they've have one of the poorest outing this year especially when you consider them as elite clubs. Bayern Munich will definitely beat them hands down on the next fixturing.

As for the challenge between Galatasaray and Copenhagen, I will prefer to see Copenhagen in the next stage maybe because I wasn't expecting much performance from them in the beginning but they have done pretty good work with this season of champions league. Now they are the second in the table standing and I think a draw could even be enough to take them to their next round of 16 spot. I feel like Galatasaray can stay longer in the contest maybe to the quarter finals than Copenhagen in one way or the other, but my predictions can be wrong since Copenhagen is doing way better than I expected in the table.

An interesting match I won't want to miss this week. Interesting because Real Betis have always shown that resilience in fighting battles with Real Madrid and always maintain a fierce competition in the pitch with the Elite Madrid club over the time. I took my time to go through the last 5 games they played together and it's a result of right competition between the duo, you find more draws than wins in the last five games they've played both home and away for both clubs. And whenever there was a win in those matches, Real Madrid always find a way to manageably escape a narrow win over Real Betis.

Why it will be interesting this time around is that a draw can be threatening to Real Madrid right now as Girona is right behind them with same point difference and a drop in 3 points will seriously injure the club as that may bring them to the second or third position down the table. Whereas on the other hand, if Real Betis wins the match, it will push them to the fifth position surpassing Sociedad and Athletic club which would have been a dream and good luck for them. So, both clubs will have to be hot on each other in this game and I don't think there will be much difference in terms of performance difference between the duo on this game as compared to the last 5 games they've played. So, it is either a narrow win or a draw for both clubs.

It's more or less like you said, both clubs are almost on the same scale in terms of performance right now especially when you have a general view of their gameplay now. So, when they got to fixture each other, most of us were expecting wither a narrow win, or a draw. That was my prediction too but Manchester United is still doing better than Chelsea now on the table, still on the 10th position and about 3 clubs in between them.


I am becoming increasingly disappointed in the poor performance of Tottenham Hotspur these days, like what exactly is going on with the club right now. From 1st position down to the fifth position. From a zero lose down to 4 lose and three draws. Tottenham Hotspur have lost 4 matches consecutively in the league and have drawn once in the last 5 games they played and that is definitely a poor performance record set by the club right now. What has gone wrong with the club exactly? Why can't they keep put with the tempo of performance like they have did earlier since the beginning of the league. Why is it always a case of up and down performance by the club for a while now. I thought we could experience something better this time around but yet, they've been beaten by Aston Villa and West Ham . When Romero scored the opening goal at 11th minutes of the match, I thought that would have been a window of opportunity for the club to win more not only they allowed Bowen to hit the nets and Ward-Prowse closing and winning goal for the West Ham.

I don't think the forum is as complicated as some threads suggest here because the forum is an all encompassing platform with a pool of resources drawn from different varieties of topics and boards to choose from and learn gradually. Aside that, you can use the search bar located at the top right corner of the webpage and type whatever comes to your mind as a newbie there and you will see some results drawn from different related threads on this forum.

As a newbie, my first advise is to take your first few days to tour around the forum, starting from the 'Help' button and skim through the help support provided By the forum to understand the information contained herein.

Secondly, I will advise the newbie to come to the Beginners and Help board to learn some basic knowledge about Bitcoin and FAQs asked about this forum by other beginners in the forum. I learnt a lot about the forum then using the Beginners and Help board and can remember opening the pages one by one till over 10 pages were viewed and each of the board's page have 20 threads on it and l made sure I skimmed through them.

Now, I don't want everyone to go that far from the beginning because that much information alone, scared me away from the forum a bit before I summoned more courage and continue but of course I got knowledge on different things.

Lastly, is the search bar. Always use the search bar to search for a topic you have in mind before creating a new one. You can also use keywords to search for related topics of interest, until you don't find any, then you can create a new thread so you don't have to create what has already been created by someone else.

Hey guys!

I was so elated to receive a call from the SSG (Secretary to the State Government) of Niger State almost a week ago after we've all waited anxiously for a response from the state government following the letter we submitted two months ago about "Introducing The Bitcoin Technology Into Our Secondary Schools Curriculum as a Trade Subject".

Although I have traveled out of town and could not make it there physically, I sent my team members to represent me at the meeting with the SSG.

The SSG received my delegates at his office on Tuesday, 5th to give them a brief of the discussions they have with the governor and their resolution.


See Image Here

Prominent in all the discussions they had was the aspect where the SSG mentioned to them that although they are ambitious about the new evolution inbuilt in the digital world, the fintech and the digital currency, they are still xraying the advancement aspect and are desirous of the very positive results the state is interested in especially as it resonates with their agenda.

He then issued the letter dated December , 4th to to my delegates as an official reply to our demand on the adoption of bitcoin technology and request that we remain patient while the government employ the necessary human resources to acqualize this ambitious dream.

My delegates were very happy about this development while I requested that they scan the letter and send to me.

Below is a reciept of the scanned copy of the official response from the SSG.

I am most gracious right now to update the forum on this new development and hope to continue to push this project until there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you to the members of this forum that have kept on following up on my earlier thread for updates, I am glad that I have a response for you now.

You've said it all and I am also seeing it from that picture. The possibilities are there with the current status of the league, Girona have shown great fierce and doggedness to win and take the championship of the La Liga league this time around but they are equally aware that it will not come like a piece of cake as we have always have those elite clubs dominate those opportunities over the time, so how can Girona face these guys and win in all their challenges or contests?

Nevertheless, Girona performance and efforts have come with splendour and a lot of admiration this season and one can only wish to see them outperform those elite clubs so they can stand a chance too. In the table now they are only second to Madrid with the same point, same win, same draw and same lose. They're performance in the 2 -1 win over Valencia have given them this stand and one won't say they have done bad. In fact, it was a good win.  Now Girona willbe faced with Barcelona in Camp Nou in their next La Liga match and a win over Barcelona will be another great record set and a morale booster for the players to work harder when they meet with Real Madrid on the 11th of February. However, this is a good time for us who are football lovers.

It is interesting to see that Manchester United will lose qualifying to the round of 16 in this season of the Champions league even when from the Group A table, it was easier for us to predict Bayern and Manchester United to scale through to the next challenge in the table, unfortunately and unlucky for Manchester United, they are at the bottom of the table with just a 4 points meaning they have only won 1 match and draw in 1. The rest have been failure upon failure.

I didn't really envisaged the efforts that Copenhagen and Galatasaray will put into the games most especially that of the Copenhagen and was just looking at the two elite clubs but as football will have it, this is not the case and that's why there is beauty in football. Your expectations sometimes are beaten by the reality of things on the pitch and every team is bracing up by the day to become stronger and more challenging, so you don't have issues of monopoly of clubs or the likes.

Scott McTominay was the player of the match, while Eric Ten Hag was the manager of the match. I was super impressed by the efforts put into the game by the Manchester United players and it was a great challenge they took to themselves to gain this strong 3 points. Eric Ten Hag has shown some strong performance efforts over the Chelsea yesterday and I admire him most sincerely. If they had not losed the penalty, it would have been a 3 over 1 goal.


I was shocked about the Manchester City lost. I thought they will win over Aston Villa but I was not sure of the reason why there was that delay until when I saw the late goal by Bailey maintain the perfect home record of the Unai Emery. I can't believe this will be the fourth Premier League for Pep Guardiola without a win. Haaland did have two chances to win a goal which makes them fall to the fourth position in the table.

I don't think he is serious and have no idea on what he is about to do. I think it is just a media hullabaloo to woo in his supporters especially those who he knows have sentimental bias over the abdoption of Bitcoin over there.

The funny part of the whole news was like the negative impression the politician attached to Bitcoin that it is a safe haven for money laundering, theft and other unspeakable things he described with Bitcoin. I don't know why politicians find it very comfortable to denigrate some innovations they don't like and paint it black for the public domain.

Truth is, with or without Bitcoin his fellow politicians in leadership positions are best known for their behaviour which is corrupt practices, syphoning of funds and the misappropriation of funds meant to carry out the allocated project. Bitcoin has not been a case of syphoning funds like he said, however People can decide to store there syphoned funds in the bank or any of the crypto currency and that is solely their decision to take.

I think those are some very bold decision-making steps you are about to take. First, you are using from the allowances you get from your dad to save a part of it into your Bitcoin and now, you want to take the step forward, to sell your PC and invest more on Bitcoin. I must admit that you're a bold young person and I admire you for that.

However, you also need to look at how useful the computer you are selling is to your financial life. Can you regard the computer system as an 'asset' or you see it as a 'liability'. If it is an asset, then I will advise you not to sell it yet and have a deeper thoughts about how it serves you and whether it will affect your income or earnings or not.

If it doesn't, you can go ahead especially at this period that we are likely to enter soon which is the bull run period. But please, don't be greedy and always investigate the market trends heavily before taking those bold steps.

But aside from the interest shown by Xavi Hernandez on the retainership of the player, Joao Felix, his fans in the Atletico Madrid have also gone wild on him because of his remarks that says that it will be better for him to remain in the Barca's team instead of returning. Joao Felix took the route of supporting Barcelona, his contracted team against the Atletico Madrid which one could just result in saying that could be because he's with the team now but he seems to be very passionate about Barcelona and want to find a way he will be retained after the contract exhausts. But do any one think Barcelona will retaine Joao Felix in the Barcelona should Atletico Madrid opens such Windows that'll move Joao Felix?
