Don't be surprised. Nigerians were just given a lifeline that might make them qualify if all things work in their favour. Nigerians might not likely qualify but nothing is impossible. We have to keep supporting the Super Eagles until it becomes clear that our hope is dashed. We might not be a good team now but we can improve before we get to the World Cup. We need to be in that competition because without them, it will be boring for me. Any way we can support an African country just as we did for Morocco.
To support the Super Eagles of Nigeria is not the problem but what’s their chance of qualifying to the World Cup again this year? They have just 11 points, they should have won against South Africa to have more opportunity. Benin Republic can’t just stay and allow the Super Eagles to take the spot, they will try as much as they can to also keep playing well to make sure they also qualify same as South Africa too because they will do their best to cover up for the three deducted points. The only thing Super Eagle can do for themselves is to win all their remaining matches and watch how other teams play, if they are lucky to qualify fine, but their chances are very low compare to Benin Republic and South Africa.

Gala 1 Vs Liverpool 0 Liverpool has not gotten a clean sheet when ever they play in Turkey and the record continues after Galatasaray went ahead in the tie. Victor Osimhen scores from the penalty spot to out his side 1 - 0 up, this goal by him means that his the first Nigerian to hit a double figure in the Champions League proper. I'm expecting more goals from this match because both teams are pushing for it.
It is now becoming obvious that Liverpool defense is not as strong as we are expecting this season because despite the fact that it was a penalty goal, the defenders are prompt to errors that lead to goal because even in the Premier League this season, they hardly get clean sheet in their matches, they do mostly have a last minute advantage to get their three points. Nevertheless, they still have chance in this match because they are still playing well even though Turkey has never been a good place for them to get better result, but for this match, they should win the match. However, I am not counting Galatasary out in this match because they have more shots on target than Liverpool, their attackers are really trying to see that they add more goals before Liverpool can score because Liverpool score one goal now, they will definitely win the match.

 Finally, I wonder why it took FIFA this long before doing the needful on this very issue of points deduction from South Africa for fielding an ineligible player against Lesotho few months ago. Lesotho will get 3 points and 3 goals from this rule. Benin Republic now leads the standings, let's see what happens in the remaining matches to be played. The problem was from CAF, they delayed the petition because the CAF president is a South African; but it all ended well as FIFA has made the right decision to deduct three points and three goals from South Africa points, they are now the second position with 14 points. I am not happy because the Super Eagles of Nigeria didn’t use their opportunity of taking the lead or coming very closer in their last match against South Africa, now Benin Republic is now having a very high chance of finishing ahead of the Super Eagles and might get the slot even if they finished second. I also heard that the South African team is reporting Nigerian goal against them that it was an hand ball; and if they want to take action since there is no VAR in the match, the game might be replayed in a new trial ground, and that can be an opportunity for both Nigeria and the South Africa to take the lead in the table.

These influencers are being paid for advert, they don’t mostly care about how true the information is about the platform they are promoting they just want to share with their community and their followers, if they end up getting scammed, they don’t care because Nigeria will not take serious action that’s why the influencers are doing it always.
If you want to trade or invest, always discard the information from these influencers because most of them don’t have any clue or knowledge about what they are promoting, they are just using demo accounts to show you how they get money which is always lies because many has falling victim of such scams.

Don't get too excited, it's the dollar falling against the Naira and not like the Naira is gaining any value against the dollar - you know these are two different things right. If you have doubts you can check the dollar rate against top currencies.
There is nothing to be excited of since it’s not shown in reality, it is only on paper; the price of things are not coming down despite how dollar lose value to Naira, is it still inflation? Or the government are selfish since they control all the major business in the country, and they end up saying that they can’t reduce price of goods since they will claim to have imported the goods from other countries and they used dollar to pay for the goods. So it is better for dollar to even have stable price so that we can know how to manage our economy ourselves without expecting increasing rate of Naira to dollar or the other way round. By this time next week the Dollar would retain and we would be back to 1500 or more. Funny how this incompetent Govemment are taking credits for this.
This government are shameless, they will have the mind to said it that the Naira has gain value over dollar which very useless in my opinion because it has no effect in the economic development of the country.

I would say yes. If your intent is to keep up with the trends and make easy money then you are most likely to give up immediately and be attacked by FUD easily. But if you truly believe in bitcoin and its fundamental characteristics then you can stick with it against the bear market.
The intention really matters but who cares about it? I think it all depend on you because it is not something you will do publicly and announce to the general public in order to study your ways around your Bitcoin on weather you will hold for long or not; it all depend on you and how decide to manage your finance because you can intend holding for long and something serious might come up that will lead to selling off the Bitcoin you invested which isn’t that good because you don’t know the condition of the market then despite knowing the fact that Bitcoin price will always lead the crypto market. How and when to buy, sell, and hold your Bitcoin depends on you and your source of income in my opinion because you own your Bitcoin and you will be in charge everything.

If Bitcoin mining is done on the side without wasting the amount of energy that is usually wasted from thermal power plants and coal-fired power plants, then we will be able to do Bitcoin mining while preventing environmental pollution. This could be one of the strategies for reducing environmental pollution.
Since the only thing we need is electricity and mining equipment that will be powered by electricity, then there are several ways we can achieve that through renewable energy because there are many ways to generate electricity that are not the same with fossil fuels. Hydro powers are environmental friendly, they don’t release carbon dioxide that will contaminate the environment, and now we also have solar energies that are now been been used to generate electricity, so we can use them to also power mining equipments also to get free environmental pollution.

I won't say you should give up your gaming desires because your are into Bitcoin or crypto-currency but you can manage things to see that you aren't exposing yourself to any possible attacks. First you should probably not have them on same device, the device you use for your gaming experience should be different from the device you use for anything relating to Crypto-currency. You can definitely check out cold storage wallet to keep your wallet protected offline.
Is there a need to give up his gaming desire? Some people are very passionate about games, and they will pay every amount to get their games downloaded or installed in their computers, so we can’t just advise them to stop playing games just because they want to protect their computers from malware attacks. They can have separate device for their crypto activities; they should make sure their pc they use in playing games don’t have any of their crypto wallets in them, or for easy access, they should just set up offline wallet for themselves to avoid been linked with the PC they used in playing games. Furthermore, they can as well try by downloading every game from their official website that might be safe from such malware attacks and always be sure that they check and confirm the websites while installing, then also have strong and reliable antivirus softwares in your systems.

A family member of mine, one of those who learnt about crypto very late still end up getting scammed, while some will call this foolishness I prefer to call it lack of knowledge. Ledger sent a message requesting for his recovery seed and he sent them, without thinking twice or informing me first, every coins he own since 2023 is gone, now he is starting from scratch after so many emotional tears been shared.
It is gone and not coming back, there is a lesson here if you are buying and holding coins, no one have the right to know a single alphabet of your recovery seed, not even the companies that made the wallets.
It’s never your fault because they didn’t contact you before making that decision to respond to their message by sending the seed phrase to them; but my confusion here is, how is able to settle down for a ledger wallet that he needs to set up with some money without knowing the basic principles behind Bitcoin keys and address that your seed phrase is your security of your wallet? Well I can’t say anything much, but if you introduced him to crypto and Bitcoin, then you should have explained to them that seed phrase is his Bitcoin because losing it will result to complete lose it Bitcoin in his position. Always learn before you decide on investing; FOMO will always lead newbies astray because you as a newbie will invest whiteout some basic knowledge just to feel among, and when something went wrong, they can control and make sure their coins are safe.

This is a discussion forum, and the only way you can learn is by discussing. Just dropping a topic and not reading to see what people are discussing on the topic doesn't make sense. Make use of the Telegram bot or any other ways to keep track of replies to your topics and posts, interact, and not just drop topics and forget about them.

Barcelona will get the advantage for sure since the team is good and Real Sociedad are out of the competition with only one victory over the six rounds now. Real Madrid should not lose any match from now on until the next month where they will face Barcelona in October 26, where they are supposed to win otherwise Barcelona will keep dominating the first position. Real Madrid should take a lesson from today's defeat
Football matches are something we can never predict because I don’t think many of us saw this coming for Real Madrid; they lost woefully to Atletico Madrid that is not in good form, and I sense some improper decisions from the manager which clearly explain that he can’t be able to manage such big teams, but I like Alonso because he love taking corrections always. Therefore, the bad form Real Sociedad is in now is not guarantee for Barcelona fans that they will win the match easily just because they have good winning record against Real Sociedad; so we need to see what the outcome will be at the end of the match because Real Madrid were humiliated by Atletico Madrid, so let’s wait and see what Barcelona will play because they will face each others in the next Elcassico match.

The three consecutive draws obtained by Juventus remind us of their performance last season, and this might be the start where their future performance will be questioned. Most recently, Juventus almost suffered a defeat when hosting Atalanta, one could say they were lucky to secure a point. I assess Juventus current weakness lies in their defense, as they have conceded 9 goals in the last four matches. Igor Tudor must quickly find a solution to this problem.
Out of these three consecutive draws, the only one I find improper is their last week Serie A game against Verona; they are supposed to use that match to get more chance of leading the league table or go very close to Napoli in terms of points difference, but unfortunately, they drew the match which was very painful. The other two draw matches are matches they did well and get the average result they can get in that match because these two matches are very tough for them to easily win in their current condition. But I will expect Juventus to try and get at least a draw against Milan because losing that match will never be a better option for them since they didn’t win any of their last two matches.

I would respond with an image to buttress the points I'll give you now.  Amorim might be a good coach but not a good leader, he always avoids blame and lays them on his players and trust me that's the least way to keep your players motivated. A good leader should take responsibility for the errors of his team and not criticize them publicly. Even if they made mistakes, you allow them save face in public and call them to order privately. I have the impression that he's more like a boss to his players and not a leader. For me even if he's sacked like he said in the morning, his sack is even long overdue. This blame Ruben Amorim throw to Bruno Fernandez is not proper, he should have just manage and take the defeat like that because he is the coach and most players are making mistakes like this one. He is not the first player to miss a penalty in Manchester United, and just because he missed today when the team needed that goal is not a reason to attack the player because he wasn’t happy too. The manager have every right to drop the player before the match or change him along the line not to be blaming him for why he should have controlled by given another player a chance to take that penalty. However, Bruno also have fault because this is the second time he missed penalty, even though I know that there is a lot of pressure when playing such penalty, but he should have given it to another player if he isn’t confidence on himself when he is about to play the penalty.

It was quite an easy win for Dortmund. There is really a big progress with Niko Kovac so far.  After this win they are keeping up with Bayern Munich by only 2 points behind. I can see how Niko Kovac has improved the Dortmund team, he did his thing best to make sure the team become more competitive this season despite not signing much players than it was last season because they have now played five games and played just on draw which is very impressive because today’s match against Mainz was supposed to be a test for them because Mainz is also in good form and were above Dortmund before the match, but Dortmund finished the game with 2-0 lead before they get a red card which shows that even without red card, they can easily defeat them since it was away from home for Dortmund. Dortmund currently seats in the second position with just two points behind Bayern Munich since Munich is still maintaining their unbeaten and 100% record in the Bundesliga this season. Finally a win by Leverkusen again... But they were just horrible man. What the hell is only 5 goal attempts?? Your opponent is St. Pauli, not a big challenge at all. Xabi Alonso's departure is still affecting them deeply...
This what you should expect from a team with low quality players. Before the team will balance, the management needs to make sure they spend some money maybe by January in signing good players because to be in the title race, you need to have world class players in your squad.

We can say, is a good start for Weder Bremen we just has passed the five minutes mark and they dont allow a goal, its a lot considering how bad this games can start, lets see how much they can hold the beast of the Bayer Munich offensive, how many goals we can expect from Kane and Diaz today?
Your early statement about Bremen isn't true, already in the first half they conceded two goals, it's a bad turn of event for Bremen, no way are they coming out of tonight's match ahead of Bayern, instead they will be facing the worst outcome, Bayern are still finding more goal scoring opportunities, they wouldn't mind utilizing any of them, Bremen are far weaker for Bayern, not a worthy opponent. it’s now 3-0, Bayern Munich are doing what we are expecting from them; I don’t think Weder Bremen can get a single goal in this match because Bayern Munich will like to keep clean sheet in this match. This season is a season for Bayern Munich and Vincent Kompany again, they look more stronger and promising than they way they were last season because they don’t want to even drop points that much since Dortmund has recovered fully this season, they will never want to lose points to narrow their points gap in the title race.

The situation of Madrid and Atletico seems very different. Madrid is getting better this season, but Atletico has been facing problems at the start of the season. Of course, Madrid will be favored, but the meeting between the two is expected to be exciting. I do not doubt Madrid's performance, it's just that there is a possibility that Atletico may not play at their best. But this could be a moment for Atletico to inspire the players to perform well when facing their strong rivals.
No matter how inconsistent big teams are, their matches are always difficult to predict because they both have qualities that can both win them the match; therefore, despite Atletico Madrid’s inconsistency in the Laliga this season, they can still do better against Real Madrid even though Madrid under Xavi Alonso has been impressive and they have 100% record in the Laliga so far because both Mbappe and Vin Jr are in good form. Statistically, Real Madrid on paper have good winning records against Atletico Madrid even though there is a three draws among the results but Madrid won their last two matches against Atletico Madrid; therefore, if Semione can deploy his defensive skills and ability in his team, they can held Madrid to a draw.

OP what you seem to not understand is that, gambling addiction has done more harm than good. About 80% who are addicted to gambling are ruined emotionally, financial and otherwise. I hardly can see someone who got addicted in a positive way. I maybe wrong yes, and there are people who may have been addicted that got good wins in the end. However, the majority carries the vote, as long as most population of addicted have been ruined by addiction, we dont see it as a good thing and we can never see it that way.
The reality about gambling addiction is that it has done more harm than good to the majority of people because most gambling addicted people are people that mostly rely on the gambling to earn a leaving or to survive, that is why they are addicted to the gambling because they are always hopeful that they will make it one day, and they are losing money as a result of that because they are not in their full mindset betting since they are desperate to make huge amount of money. While people that gamble responsibly are mostly not addicted to gambling because most of them gamble for passion and they have other jobs doing which they use gambling as side hustle, so they always don’t take it serious since they only do it for fun.

AC milan will host Napoli this weekend and that surely is one big match, both teams are currently in good foam, and that makes the match very unpredictable. The last time AC Milan was able to beat Napoli was in 2023, that a long time so I think they would push to get the win this time around.
AC Milan are yet to lose or even draw a match since their opening day match against Cremonese, and Napoli are still in their 100 percent run in the league. This is going to be a very interesting and competitive game, honestly I have so much anxiety for this match. One thing about this fixture is that it comes with a lot of intensity and tempo, it a game every side will want to win. Can’t wait to watch this one.
Maybe AC Milan will start their revenge in this match because they aren’t that good against Napoli in their last few games because Napoli defeated them in their last two matches they played against each others; but for the fact that AC Milan has stepped up this season, having nine points in four matches is a very good step against their performance of the previous season, despite the fact that Napoli still have 100% points performance, I still expect them Ac Milan to at least win or get a point against the Coten’s side Napoli because they can’t keep losing to them always.

Liverpool will play Cristal Palace this week, and remember that they've been unbeaten since beating Liverpool in the Super Cup final. That means they're a tough opponent who could take points from Liverpool, and then they'll play Chelsea. Even if they drop points, they're currently five points ahead of Arsenal, which should still be enough to remain the league leader.
This is a match we need to look after because a lot will happen in this match. I have the believe that Arne Slot will start Isak today since Hugo Eketike got red carded in their EFL cup match and the coach was angry with him, I think this will be an opportunity for Isak to his first Premier League start with Liverpool this season. Checking at their past matches; Liverpool’s last Premier League match against Crystal Palace was a draw at Anfield, and Crystal Palace went ahead to get a win against Liverpool in the Community shield final which means they used to be a tough opponent for Liverpool, and for the fact that Liverpool are traveling away to palace, I think they need to put more effort because Palace isn’t also playing bad in the Premier League this season despite losing Ebetechi Eze. I will expect a draw because I want Liverpool to also drop some points.

 Simeone says this after a short time Alvarez's name has started to be called with Barcelona. They say he is wanted by them next summer. I'm not sure about Alvarez to stay as long as Atletico Madrid go on inconsistently because of Simeone.  I am not e petting even Diego Senione to stay long in the club again as their head coach unless if he and his players try to win something for the team this season, but if they didn’t perform well this season in the Laliga and other competitions, I will expect the Atletico Madrid’s management to sack him and Alvarez might easily leave the club to either Barcelona or any big teams with bigger competition so as to win more trophies in his career. If Barcelona will get Alvarez, their attacking problem will be solved completely because they will have three dangerous attackers which will give them high opportunity to win more titles.
