Countries should not be pressured to join other countries in alliance or unions. Some unions and alliances have worse effects on the lesser countries than gains. Some have been drawn into unnecessary conflicts that the bigger countries started with another country, some forced to increase export of agricultural produce or other materials to support in the conflict, and some forced to accept policies that the bigger countries demand. Alliances do not always have positive effects; this is why every country has to be selective of the country they want to enter into an alliance with.

Because the Nigerian government has been fighting a lot of exchanges in the country, the likelihood of people now falling victim to scam exchanges is now even higher than before. It can still be avoided by asking the right questions.

Ridiculously low fees and many promised bonuses can be red flags. An exchange trying to copy another having a similar logo and interface, etc. should also be an obvious scam.

You can say that the hype starts the project, but the fundamentals keep the project going. The hype becomes part of the fundamentals. The hype for a project is good, but the bad side is that you can never know when a hype is organic or when it has been falsely and inorganically generated by the company behind the coin. That is why the hype is never really trusted, and most people investing in new projects based on hype are taking a gamble. If you are not comfortable investing in new projects based on hype, you can wait for the fundamentals.

Tomorrow has another set of games in line; Portugal will take on Scotland after winning their first game. Ronaldo should be scoring his 900+ goals tomorrow. Also for Spain that I lost my free bet to, I cannot be so sure that they will win in the game versus Switzerland. Unlike Serbia, Switzerland will score goals if they have as many chances as Serbia had.

The three lion won their games without issues, goals from Rice and Grealish. Good mark for Lee Carsley.

I do not think Victor Boniface did badly today; he would have probably scored if he had stayed on in the game. Kudos to him, and hopefully he stays fit to make sure that there is competition for that top position for us. If Nigeria plays the way we played today against Rwanda next, we should also win that game. On social media, I saw Nigerians taking a swipe at former coach Finidi George. Not really good; the fact that he was not successful with the national team does not take away his achievements as a player for us. We need to remember and respect that.

Our neighbors Cameroon also won their game against Namibia, with Vincent Aboubakar scoring the winner.

If you are still considering the cost of things, maybe you should not be considering mining because it involves a big budget. Have a very big budget that you will not need to consider the cost of electricity or the cost of equipment if you must consider mining because everything has become more expensive, the electricity tariff has risen in some places, and the cost of buying and maintaining the equipment has also increased. As a beginner, unless you really love mining, there are other ways you can earn from bitcoins because mining is very cost-intensive.

We have always had all it takes to defeat any African country and even dominate the football space in Africa. Our problem remains the coach, and I don't think our problem is solved yet. I'm hoping to see if the solution that the NFF has put forward is permanent because the abilities of our coach are still in doubt. Personally, I still will not bet on the super eagles; they remain very unreliable.

Maybe Boniface should be given the opportunity to start and not come in as a sub. If he scores, I feel Osimhen will be motivated to score his own goal when he comes on to secure his place in the first team and not lose it to Boniface.

The football schedule is very tight for players; some have complained about it because there is always one competition for them to play and they barely have rest during the off-seasons from their leagues. During the off-seasons of some football leagues, there are also some other international competitions or friendly games that are scheduled and have game fixtures that gamblers who want to keep betting on live games can bet on.

I avoid virtual games as much as possible because, although it is similar to betting on live games, the outcomes are too instant, and a gambler who is not careful can gamble multiple times and lose a lot of money within a short period before being able to realize themselves.

Haaland is a good goal scorer, but not super reliable in every game. We know he has few touches in games, but there are games where he blanks completely, and in some of those games, you may even expect his performance to be good.

Because he blanks in some games is still the reason why some people do not have him and why some others that have him are not fully confident in him.

If Arsenal can get a good goal scorer, he will be reliable too to an extent because we create enough chances, Chelsea too.

I lost this bet too, and I don't think it is just us. It was not expected based on the reputation that Spain have built for themselves recently and the attackers they have; it just seemed to me like Spain did not take the game very seriously, plus with Rodri's absence, their midfield had little defensive presence, and I should have considered that before making a single bet on only the Spain game, thinking they should be able to win the game even if it was just by a goal.

Sometimes it can be irritating when people make up assumptions for people who are wealthy, claiming to know how they think or the reason why they are wealthy. There is no manual or fixed way through which people made wealth; it should not even be a surprise to you that some people made wealth on their own without any group or individuals working together with them. It is very possible.

You are very lucky and should consider yourself blessed if you have a set of individuals, a group of people who are friends, and you all together are hungry to make wealth. Because you all share the same goal, you can all be motivation to each other.

This does not make any sense to me, because if the NFF had gone for another foreign coach on such short notice, there is still the high chance that they get a coach who will not also be fit for the Job. There is no problem with the selected local coach choosing to stick with the National players that have been playing together for a while now. Local players may not have the experience required to win these important games that we have, but our foreign players, under a good coach, can still do well.

Trading opportunities will not be easily spotted by new traders. This is why it is advised that traders remain consistent with the market because consistency will sharpen the skill to be able to identify trading opportunities even before they present themselves so that you could position yourself properly to make profits.

Do you mean trading events like events organized for people who trade cryptocurrency? If so, I could say that those meetings could actually help; they can help you have a network of people with the same interests as you.

Learning is possible in such events, but not so much; the knowledge shared is usually the basics, or something slightly more than the basics but not too in depth or advances especially when it is a free event. 

It is human nature to disobey and break rules and just like you see in this forum where plagiarism is heavily frowned against and there are numerous warning about it, there are people still who do it thinking that they will not get caught. It is the same situation that athletes find themselves trying to cheat, thinking that they would not get caught with their actions.

On this issue of athletes betting on themselves or people related to them, betting on them, I think it is something that sports will always be faced with.

I support the fine on Draftking because it is possible that they knew and just decided to keep mute about it since they were not the ones loosing. Casinos should also be conscious of when customers are loosing too much, because that also is not a good image for the casino.

They should be probably fair, but you cannot vouch for some casino's because they are lacking in reputation. This is a reason you should always consider gambling in reputable casino's first before you trying out new platforms.

I already said this news about Eguavoen yesterday, maybe you did not bother to read through to the latest before jumping to write yours.

Maybe Nigerian players respect foreign coaches more than the indigenous coaches, we will see how Eguavoen will handle this team through the games. I am not expecting them to win the games though.  I feel like there is too much drama in the team for the months after the last AFCON for the players to feel and have that team cohesion. The season in their respective leagues have just started, no player wants to get injured.

@OP, you should have resized your image to something like this; it is too big.

Then, on the topic you raised, I feel that every person is entitled to their opinion, and for Yakubu, Drogba is HIM for him. Personally I think Mohammed Salah is better because he's not just a goal scorer but also a creator and has remained a constant threat all through the seasons that he has played in the Premier League.

Augustine Eguavoen has been selected to lead Nigeria in the important games we have this month on the 7th and 10th against Benin and Rwanda. I am scared because he has failed Nigerians before, in 2022, when we could not make qualification for the World Cup.

What do you think?

If you choose not to use your free transfer, it accumulates for you each week, and if you choose to use WC, those free transfers that you have accumulated will remain and be rolled over, but for the week where you decide to use the WC, no free transfer will be given to you.

Can someone correct me if I am wrong.  

So if you use the WC and have good players, you should be able to accumulate free transfers for a few weeks that you could use.

DISCLAIMER: You all know this is my second season in the FPL; follow my advise at your own risk

For as long as shelter remains one of the basic needs of humans, real estate will always be a profitable investment.

One thing that can affect the profit is government policy, which may be unfavorable to real estate investors in some countries. Another thing is when you are unfortunate to invest in a disputed property, a property under investigation, or a property in a bad location.

I cannot say I regret Haaland's captaincy; I never expected Manchester United to be that poor against Liverpool, especially with all the new additions to the team by Erik Ten Hag and then the home advantage. Luckily, I got some vice captain points from Salah.

Ten Hag's decision to keep playing Rashford is forcing Garnacho to the right wing, were he is not very effective. Garnacho playing from the left is always likely to score. If Ten Hag had started Amad, the game would have been different for Manchester United, their attack would have been more effective.
