Thursday's match saw Manchester City who is the current holders of the Carabo Cup go head to head with Fulham to decide who will advance to the quarterfinals leaving Kevin de Bruyne with an injury.

Though Manchester City won the game by 2-0 with Brahim Diaz scoring the two the goal in each half, their victory was not something to celebrate about as they saw the Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne limp off just three minutes from the end of the match.

Kevin de Bruyne who has played a total of 150minutes in the 2018-19 season. Kevin de Bruyne who had an energetic and impressive performance saw himself on the ground holding his left knee and was taken off the pitch immediately.

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said "He is being checked by the doctors. We don't know if it's nothing or if it's something serious"

The deadlock was broken after 18minutes by Brahim Diaz who got a rebound after Kompany's shot took a deflection. Brahim Diaz scored the second goal on the 65minutes shooting the ball to the roof of the net that was set by Gabriel Jesus who tipped the Fulham keeper.

After the match, Manchester City manager had this to say "We made an excellent performance without the ball in terms of how aggressive we were.

I'm so satisfied"

Fulham manager had this to say "We wanted to respect the competition and try to go through. We made some positive things. Our defensive organisation was better than the past. They showed their quality and their power and their speed.

I believe in myself and I must believe in my team. It is not an easy job ahead of us. We are fighting not to get relegated. We are in a situation. Our supporters expect better and we are trying to find solutions.

CareerTop 7 High-paying Businesses You Can Start In Nigeria And Make Millions by kcmikee1(op):
https://davepartner.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/daviddo.jpg
If you are having trouble thinking of a business idea to start in Nigeria, this is the article you have been looking for. Do not be hasty, take your time, go through the list of businesses and choose the one that fits you.
Let us begin.

1. Oil and Gas Business
The oil and gas is a business that has been making millions for people both Nigerians and foreigners, creating multi-millionaires in Nigeria for years. One thing you do not know about this oil business, it the fact that you can start small and grow it with your profit. Though the business requires a lot of capital to start up (buying or renting land, obtaining the required documents for the business, building the filling station)

2. Poultry Farming
Poultry farming is one of the best business in Nigeria where the average person can make millions. A farm of over 3,000 chickens, if managed properly, can make you more than 8million naira monthly and 96million naira for a year. One good about this business is that you can start making money as early as 4-5months into the business.

3. Fruit Juice Making Business
Companies like Chivita premium, Hollandiayoghurt, chi happy hour, Capri-Sonne and chi-exotic who came into Nigeria small are now making billions every year. Starting such a business require a huge sum of money but is it worth it.

4. Rice Farming
Nigeria spends billions yearly on the importation of rice from China and Thailand due to the local farmers not being able to meet the demand. Rice is one of the most consumed food in Nigeria. Investing in this business will give you a 100% return

5. Cat Fish Farming
Catfish business is a business that is growing in Nigeria. You can start the business with the sum of 200,000 to 500,000 naira and if managed properly, applying good management skill will yield huge profits. Nigerians who ventured into this business are already making millions from it. Just like poultry farming, it does not take long to start making the profit, catfish farming takes about four (4) month for you to start making money. The demand for catfish is high, consumption of catfish is high in Nigeria. In some beer parlour, a plate of catfish Peper soup is #1,500 to #2,000.

6. Mental Scrap Business
This a high-paying business but looks dirty to some people, when you start the business then you will realize it is not as dirty some people think. You can make up to 500,000 for just one supply, there are so many companies who want mental scrap. This business is very easy and stress-free to start, the only thing is making calls or visiting dumps. You are not the one gathering the metal yourself, there are people who do that.

7. Fast food eatery
The eatery business is another source of money with high profit but with poor management will bring the death of the business. Starting this eatery business is capital demanding and need good management skills. When you do everything right you will make a lot of money.

Career3 Reasons You Don’t Need To Go To School To Be Rich & Why You Shouldn’t Even Try by kcmikee1(op): 12:32pm On Nov 01, 2018
https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/GOAL/53/d9/neymar-kim-kardashian-gfx_1ffvqffqswsfe1lst2bspajql4.jpg?t=15516686&quality=90&w=1280
Society these days paint a vivid picture in the mind of young people that they need to go to school to get rich and school is the only way to success. Well, that is not true. Decades ago, going to the university was the bridge for getting the bigger and better things of life, that is true for a certain few who manage to get rich while the others scramble for the crumbs of life.

There is definitely no crime in following the footsteps of the likes of Steve Jobs, Ralph Lauren, Richard Branson and many others who I failed to mention – who all became very successful and even employed people who got college degrees.

Moreover, the employers of the new age are now scoring candidates less on what degree they got and more of what they can do, what skill they have and more on their portfolio.

Companies like Apple, Google, IBM hire more skilled workers than workers with a flashy degree.

One Silicon Valley executive once said “Walking into an established company wide-eyed and green with a Bachelor’s degree in business at 22 is not special, useful, or smart. We need young, experienced people who have walked the walk, taken some hits, and know how to make something from nothing”
Furthermore, statistics of the unemployment rate of graduates is high and it’s not dropping.

Reasons you should not go to School

1. What many CEO’s and Managers look for before Hiring.
Let us say we have two candidates coming for a job interview. One candidate has a resume or a CV with up to 4-5years experience and the other has a 4-5years of college.

Who do you think will get picked? Even someone with a 2year experience will get picked over the college graduate.

Experience – Candidates will be asked questions like – How long have you been in the business? What is the success rate you’ve had? Which company you’ve worked for?
Your CV or Portfolio – This is the proof you have to show. It contains your past projects, who you worked with and what result of the project, references from your previous jobs.
Character – CEO’s and Managers look out for if you’ll fit into the flow of the company, Your integrity, punctuality, responsibility, dressing and if you can communicate well and approachable.
Going for an internship program or a part-time job will do you better than a college degree. So start building your CV, gain practical experiences and build yourself for the real world.

2. Applying Yourself beats Education
The simple truth is that universities will not teach you how to be successful. The greatest lie ever told and we believe is, education reciprocates success. University has painted an image of ” go to school and you will get an awesome job”.

Universities do not teach some basic things needed to be successful, thing like

Teaching how to negotiation,
People skill
Sharpening your drive and passion
How to think and come up with ideas etc.
Success is about communication skills, a learner’s heart, integrity, self-control, relationships, personal development, and a lot of uncontainable passion. And most essentially, successful people know they what they know by doing, not just learning to do.

3. Become an entrepreneur.
Having a job is one thing, loving the job is another. There are so many people out there who are tired of their jobs and scared out of their mind about quitting their jobs. This is because they do what they don’t love.

People prefer to work longer on something they love even if it pays less than working less on something they hate but pays more.

So if you have a dream or you love doing something that you can actually make good money from, take your time, research about the field and start up a business on it.

This is a much healthier solution; you have more time for yourself, you won’t be stressed, nobody will yell at you for something you tried your best at.

Furthermore, it will be an intriguing journey for yourself, inspiring others who might even join you, solving problems and creating value. This might be the beginning of a new life for you.
