When it comes to investment, there is no age restriction and when it comes to wealth creation, there is still no age restriction.
You have to invest in a particular thing only when you got the information.
Whereas some got the information about bitcoin when they are in their early 20s. Some like you got it in their late age and you also need to invest.
There are people who never heard of bitcoin or who are not yet born but they have investment in bitcoin, just like parents who invested for their unborn children.

Ultimately, whether religion is a setback in African development is up to the individual. Some may see it as a hinderance, while others may view it as a source of strength and hope. Ultimately, it is up to each person to decide for themselves how to view religion and its impact on African development.


I am an African from Nigeria and I can say that religion has set Africa (Nigeria as a case study) back more than it has set it forward if it ever did.
In Nigeria we have 3 major religions namely;
1. Muslim
2. Christianity
3. Traditional beliefs.
Apart from Traditional religion which is part of Africa that originated from Africa which is fast fading away, the other two religions that was taught us was used to scam us and rob us of our natural resources.

The version of Christianity that was taught us is not the version that the owners of Christianity practice.
They taught us not to fight or war that the God of Israel will fight for us but Israel has all the ammunitions fighting for themselves.
All these inconsistencies weakened our reasoning power and now many criminals are in suit scamming us and calling themselves pastors. Asking us to sow seed (give them all our monies ) and go sleep, that the God of Israel will replenish the money.

so should i delete my old post before bumping the topic? sorry for my english
You can only delete your old post after 24 hours, so if you didn't delete it, it's considered spamming or an unsubstantial post, and if you continue doing this habit it could be the ban hammer will occur into your account and AFAIK, this was the punishments.
  • 1st offense: 7 days ban
  • 2nd offense: 14 days ban
  • 3rd offense: 30 days ban
  • 4th offense: Permanent ban

Be careful next time if you care about your account.

I just learnt something new. Although I don't run services that is why I don't remember the rule of deleting older bumps after 24hrs.
If I should ask, are there special reasons for that if not making the person's posting profile neat?
What is the concern of the forum about a user personal profile?
I ask because I have seen the post history of some bounty hunters filled with links upon links and they are neither deleted or temporarily banned.

In order to be successful here and even in outside world you have to be mentally strong. Be ready to accept harsh criticism because nobody is ready to pamper or spoon feed anyone here.
When I was hit with the challenge of being mentally strong I had to retrain and not reply some messages that causes me mental strain.
That is the best way to survive. Since there is no rule that you must reply everyone, just try and ignore some unhealthy conversations and you will be right. Provided that you are not cheating or planning to cheat.

~snip~
Indeed, there have been many articles released saying that Ronaldo played in the last World Cup at the Qatar World Cup because remembering that Ronaldo himself is old and it is impossible to be able to participate in the upcoming World Cup.
In terms of his playing in the Qatar World Cup yesterday, he started to look less good and his skills started to decrease.
I am also sure that in the future Portugal will also have new football players who are reliable and can bring Portugal to compete in the upcoming World Cup.

Yeah, Cristiano Ronaldo playing now in Saudi Arabia was a bit like him retiring from football.

There's nowhere near the level of competition he's used to in his previous clubs, so he will no longer be playing at the highest levels.

Even if he plays the next world cup, he won't be in the best shape.

Even if Ronaldo will still be in active football till the next World Cup, Portugal will not field him to play active role in the world cup. They may take him along incase they will be able to win the World Cup and Ronaldo will have it added to his profile.
Ronaldo has given us his best in football and I must confess he is among the greatest that football has produced.
Now let us enjoy his brand and influence.

I believe Manchester United are desperately in need of a natural striker who can fill in the number 9 position or departed Ronaldo. Choulo-Moting might not be the perfect option for that position in the long run but at the moment he can fill in until the end of the season and add strength to Manchester United's attack. As long as he can be converting chances and scoring goals I think he wouldn't be a bad signing in the main time.

He is not even getting that regular spot so far. Its either Martial up front with Rashford playing behind him or Rashford up front followed by 3 attacking midfielders. So far, the last news was that they are still targeting Cody Gakpo though but I dont think they'll going to be able to sign him and there isnt that many options left for January transfer

Rashford has really stepped up his game, it is remaining Martial to do so. Rashford can operate from either wings and be very dangerous and not as a top 9.
Martial who is better as top 9 is not showing enough strength and consistency, that is why Manchester United needs a good striker to fill that gap.
I don't know know why you still mention Gakpo who is no longer available in the market. Moting is not a bad player but I don't know if Erik Ten Hag will like him and his playing style.
1269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 09, 2023, 04:00:27 PM
But actually, right after Tuchel was replaced by Graham Potter, we could see that Chelsea had improved quite a bit. 9 matches without defeat but only 3 draws and 6 wins. However, after Chelsea lost to Brighton, it seems that Chelsea's performance since then has really gotten worse. It was as if there was another problem within the club. Of course we know that Chelsea is lacking superior players. But it shouldn't be as bad as it is now. At least in the next game Chelsea will face Fullham. and I hope Chelsea can return to show their best performance in the match later.
The coaching transition always occur in that manner if you observe it. The old coaching philosophy wears out with time/games and the new coaching pattern sets in. Most of the time it is not immediate since new players are not brought in. Besides, Tuchel is not doing that bad when he left.
I support that Potter needs some time in Chelsea to do well. He could be among the best coaches in England if given enough time to with a preseason and arrange his team.
He also need every players to be available for his selection but the pressure of sack that always threatens Chelsea coaches will not let him think well and implement his plan.
Chelsea and Potter is the face of media now which is not a good thing for him.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Barcelona and Netherlands forward Memphis Depay, 28, wants to rejoin Manchester United six years after leaving Old Trafford. It seems to me that Barcelona is giving up a very good player too easily. Is the reason the club's financial debts?
I think it's more to get rid of some players who are not really used at Campnou.
Now Depay's condition at Barcelona is really hanging because he won't be able to do much when Lewandowski is still there so Depay is indeed on the list of sales in this transfer.
On the other hand, were Manchester United really frustrated that they brought Depay back? He's not bad but for the Premier League I think he's going to struggle again in the end.
It will be a bad business for Manchester United if they go for Memphis Depay. His impact may not be felt in the club because the team already has people like Memphis.
Players like Rashford,
Martial,
Sancho,
Elegant,
Ganachor,
Etc
Are all playing the method and role of Depay, why buy him again. Manchester United needs a striker to get goals not a winger.

The world is going down the drain, everything is going from bad to worse. Economic melt down, inflation and recession, war and femine, unemployment, Covid-19, crypto related loses like Luna and FTX.
This is 2023 and Bitcoin chart is not showing any good thing about the year. Who knows it could be worse than 2022.
The price of goods double and triple within weeks and months and nobody is saying anything.
Does it mean that the government is clueless?
1272  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: January 07, 2023, 08:59:10 PM
The biggest obstacle is information.
Getting the right information on how to create wealth is important. Some people have the information and hoard it while some do not have information at all. Some are looking for information and some have information and do not know what to do with it.
Also some are given wrong information.
Information is Power and according to a popular saying "if you are not informed, you will be deformed".

I am a Nigerian but I am not aware of this news. Could I be that my head was occupied by high cost of transportation and high cost of goods and services that I didn't notice the news.
Anyways, the people concerned in this killing are two security operatives.
One is legal which is Nigerian Army and one is illegal, created by a militia group clamouring for independence from Nigerian state.

The story is more than as presented by OP.
This is not Nigerian problem but problem created by a certain group called Ipob

Pelé and Maradona are two of the greatest players football has ever had.
It was remarkable that both enjoyed each other very much.
I remember reading his post about Maradona in which Pelé says he would like to play football with Maradona in the sky and now they are together.
They will keep the angels entertained.
It is sad that the football legends and greatests have kicked the bucket. I didn't watch the duo play but their video clips showed that they are wonderful.
Even if there were no much rules like off sides as of them they tried more than their colleagues.
We don't feel too bad because there is Messi and Ronaldo and we are already seeing Neymar, Mbappe etc.
Football never dies

It has served it's function of pre-local board activities and awareness. Now the local board has come, it should take her right place here.

Finally Manchester City were able to get three points from Chelsea and 1 goal was created by Riyad Mahrez in the 63rd minute a pass from Jack Grealish from the left, I think this is a lucky goal for Manchester City and a mistake at the bottom for Chelsea.
because I saw Chelsea playing quite well especially in the middle of the second half and Chelsea kept trying to score goals to equalize and also played very well but Manchester City's defense was very good making it difficult for Chelsea to score goals.
The results of this score made Manchester City get full points even though they only won narrowly, of course it kept the distance between Manchester City and Arsenal not too far away and also kept Manchester City in second place in the English league standings

Just when I almost believed that Chelsea will share the points with Manchester City that Mahrez said no and got a goal as assisted by Grealish.
It was not an exciting one for me because I wanted Potter's job to be secured. Now he has no much confidence to approach the next match.
But if we will be honest, Chelsea did excellently well against City this night.
1278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 04, 2023, 09:30:30 PM
And it turns out that the Inter milan vs Napoli match was quite fierce. even though Napoli carried out more attacks but Inter's defense was quite sturdy. and hard to penetrate. the first half ended in a 0-0 draw. And if Napoli can hold Inter milan to a draw in this match then at least that will make Napoli unbeaten this season. And if you lose, Ac Milan will get closer to Napoli's points. because the difference in points continues to decrease. So if Napoli wants to stay safe at the top of the standings, then getting a win or a draw is a pretty good thing.

Napoli conceded the first goal of the match at the beginning of the second half. Edin Dzeko scored the goal in the 56th minute of the match. So is Napoli's dominance in Serie A coming to an end? Napoli was undefeated for a long time. And they were at the top of the table. I wouldn't say Napoli's performance was bad today. However, Inter Milan is an experienced team. Napoli should have been more tactical to win against them.

In less than 10mins, Napoli unbeaten run for the past 15 serial A league match will come to an end.
And it is Inter that decided to end the run.
Meanwhile Napoli still has the time to maintain their record just by scoring a goal to equalise the score delivered by Dzeko in the 56th minute.
The 3 attackers that started the match has been substituted apart from Victor Osimehn and I think Napoli is in a very need of a goal to keep their record valid.
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 04, 2023, 09:23:34 PM
This is getting more alarming for Conte's Tottenham so I hope to see improved performances against C. Palace tonight. Maybe they are having problems in defense especially but they can still win by starting to be better at finishing.
After Arsenal played Tottenham in the first leg this season where they were totally outplayed by Arsenal, I noticed that Tottenham is a team that their only tactics is counter attack, and if you can manage to stop that they have nothing else to play but rely on luck. I maintain that stance, it is clearly evident now  with their very recent poor results that they have been having. They have struggle this season a lot, and against crystal palace Tottenham will loose even though it is important that they get a win.

I doubt they will lose... The score just got 2-0 in favor of the Spurs and yes, they do need a win and it seems like they will get one tonight. But the stats are about the same, possession is a bit more with Tottenham and they get their attacks, I don't understand what Crystal Palace lacks to score a goal, they have everything...

That is why it is good to have a star man in your team anytime.
Harry Kane has shown why he is the hit man of Tottenham by bring him team 2 goals up even when they are not playing better football than their opponent.
This is not about possessions, it is about 3 points, 1 point or no point.
I now expect Zaha to step up his game and target the goal post and balance the game.
