That's gambling. Some gamble while others invest in football.
I laugh when people say sports betting is gambling/ when they solely term it as gambling. Sport betting is statistics, mathematics, analysis and probability(I guess the probability part is what made them term it as gamble but that can be worked out as well rather than just doing kalo kalo)

Betting is also for the rich. It is just unfortunate that the poor people's money is used to pay the rich. If you stake 100k on just 2 games with low event risks(I am not talking about just win/lose event), you can get a 40-50k profit whereas, a poor man will want to use 1,000 to win 1 million naira and thus, play loads of games.1 game fails and the whole ticket is gone. The sad thing is that football is highly unpredictable but I enjoy the way my analysis turn out good after a match no matter how small the profit margin is.

The last time I staked a bet.

Everton vs arsenal (arsenal x2) result 2-1
Napoli vs caglilary (Napoli 1) result 1-1
Inter Milan vs Atalanta (12& o1.5) result 2-2
Psg vs liile. (psg 1) result 2-2
I have forgotten the last game, but in summary I staked 5 games totalling 5 odds with 5k. The annoying thing is not that it cut, the annoying thing is that every single game I staked cut. I lost my money, they didn't even compensate me for loosing every single game, I know no one have lost like that before.

And this idiot is using my money and that of other foolish Nigerians to go and dance in London.


Nonsense
Why would you use your life savings to bet? grin grin grin
Una no dey hear word say na spare money dem dey take play betting.
Betting should be more of fun rather than an enterprise.
The moment you want to hammer through betting, you start losing your money.
Moreover, betting is no kalo kalo. It takes a lot of cerebral work and a good knowledge of the game.
First time I ever staked a bet, I got 39k with just 3 matches using 2k.
I withdrew 30k and left 9k in there. The 9k is now the new capital that has been re-invested and yielding results. Whatever the case is, always be on top of the bet companies and bet wisely. It takes me an average of 30 minutes research on just one game before betting on it.
I did 32 games just for fun this weekend and 12 have already clicked. I just play for fun to see how much of my maths, statistics and probability I am able to get and not those types you will start developing hypertension for.
Rather than whining, do your researches well. Betting companies get the better of those that do kalo kalo cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Lemme ignore every unnecessary blabbing until you got to the point where you attempted answering the question ( dodging it actually ).

Of course, Ronaldo has 5 Balloon D'or because he is the best goalscorer amongst that group. But the questions still stands, bar his phenomenal number of goals, he's your Lewandowski or Aguero or Suarez. Or tell us, what does he do differently? Score more goals.

Ehn, There are people who are more knowledgeable about football than me, I'll agree. People like...

Arsene Wenger.

Who's the best footballer on the world? MESSI

Who's the best footballer of ALL TIME? MESSI
Emphasis on ALL.

Wenger is not alone. There are countless football icons who have dared to not only compare Messi with Pele and Maradona, but (rightfully) place him above those two. Countless people. Even teammates of Ronaldo!

So, find those knowledgeable people you where talking about who DARED to put Ronaldo in the same breathe as Pele and Maradona. I can find 10 for Messi. Find one for Ronaldo. Just one and let's see who that is grin

Alibaba has dropped a shade for Tonto Dikeh, as he wrote about ladies who make fathers of their children look like monsters. The ace comedian who recounted past experiences including the marital crisis of a Nigerian career diplomat posted to East Africa, stated that women should try not to mess up the relationship the child will have with the father because they are upset. 

The shade post reads in part;

Very often, you will see ladies who make the fathers of their children look like monsters. The said father may be the best father the child ever wished for, but, the mothers' hurt will not let the fathers have the opportunity to show the child that love. Many years ago, a certain wife of a Nigerian career diplomat, posted to East Africa, had a messy and sour marriage. It was a very popular case.The woman resorted to making sure she flung all kinds of dirt at the Diplomat. She even asked the Nigerian Government to recall him and dismiss him. While she was all out to ruin him. She forgot that her children were depending on their father's support to make a headway in life. The Solomonic dilemma came to play again. If I can't have him, then let me mess his career up.

On a more serious note, Ali Baba only expressed his views on a general subject matter. Why should everything about marital crises be linked to Tonto Dike?? These funny blogger though.

Sorry to burst your bubble. They are all married and have no iota of abusive /toxic marriage. They are not drug addicts like Tonto and they are well brought up. They do not gold- dig as well and they have the best set of husbands any woman can pray for.
Please, take your friend, Tonto to a medical rehab or something. She is mentally sick. She needs your help more than anything else. She is a Cannabis addict!

Churchill should have known that there are some ladies who are just one-night-stand material and should never be made wives.

He brought this problem upon himself.

Simple “nak and go” he couldn’t do.
She is a one night stand material and a gold digger. In an interview with pulse TV, I only listened for less than 4 minutes before exiting. Pulse Tv has been fuelling the issue by making it one sided and granting her a lot of useless interviews.
See what she said...............She said she went to club (that she does not go to club on a good day o). she met Churchill in the club and that because she is Tonto Dike and a successful woman, she needed someone that is capable as well grin grin grin. (She was trying to justify why she got talking with Churchill). She must have overheard one of her co -oloshos say see that guy o, he is Obasanjo's son and she must have gone to open her legs for him that night. How can a sensible individual spew such statement about her needing a big boy bla bla. Is that not gold digging? Is it the first time you meet someone in a club that you decide there and there why you are going to be friends with him or give him a dating chance? All because of the tag "Obasanjo". Churchill should have used her as a one night stand like you said rather than trying to wife her.

The hypocrisy in Tonto's case stinks

Why is no one condemning Churchills actshuh

Where were these I too knows when Tonto Dike was praising Churchill upandanhuh

Did any of them ever praised herhuh All of a sudden everyone seems to have found their voices undecided

Was Churchill honest with Tontohuh

When Churchill was oppressing, abusing and shaming her did he think about his sonhuh

Didn't he publicly say Tonto is a drug addict even when she was pregnanthuh

Why is everyone suddenly thinking about their sonhuh

Oh so Tonto can endure but Churchill cannot take the clap backhuh

You are not in her shoes, you don't know how it hurt so quit judging her!!!

Bloody hypocrites!!!
There is no hyprocrisy anywhere. Tonto is the only one running her mouth everywhere and saying stories with countless loop holes. Only an idiot will take Tonto's claims hook line and sinker.
Having said that, Tonto is a drug addict and she had granted interviews in the past where she confessed that she is battling drugs particularly Cannabis. (She said she is a cannabis addict). However, she promised to stop because of her son or try to sacrifice for her son by stopping the in-take of cannabis but we all know how addiction works. It is not something that can suddenly be stopped. So, the claim is most likely true..she may even be doing other stuffs aside cannabis.
Moreover, Tonto has several signs of a drug addict even in the manner she types. Rather than brew marital trouble, what Tonto DIke needs is a serious medical and mental health. She is mentally sick!

While I feel pity for her that her womb was removed, these people cannot be entirely trusted with their stories. The Adenomyosis story may just be the concocted version for the public( Her womb may also have been removed due to some other reasons). If you follow the narration properly, she was getting somewhere when she started from her background story till she abandoned the story half way and jumped to Adenomyosis. Something is missing in that middle.
Whatever the case is, I feel sorry for her.

I cannot choose a match to make a point about Messi's ability. You've said Alot about Chelsea, Pique, Barcelona, tactical superiority, but still, no word about how Ronaldo is a better football player in comparison to Messi. None.

Stick to the argument and tell us apart from scoring 40 goals in a season, what Ronaldo does differently from say Suarez or Aguero, or Lewandowski or Kane? What?
Hahahahaha
You are drifting again. Now, you are comparing Ronaldo with Aguero, Lewandowski and Kane. You must be delusional to make such attempt. Are you so impervious to correction? You made an erroneous claim in which you can easily look up the statistics or watch the full match all over again and I quickly schooled you. Rather than take corrections, you are busy whimping up sentiments and now comparing Ronaldo to those that are below his par cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy. I think you would make it as a comedian. I should not have paid much attention to you when you said the first time you watched/ saw Messi with the ball was in 2009, that means you are a kid if that is the case. You must have been in JSS or even primary school as at that time and I can see why your analysis is leaky.
Anyway, to answer your foolish question, mention one of those idiotas you put up there that has won just 1 Ballon D' Or award in their entire career. Ronaldo has been adjudged as the best footballer on planet earth 5 times and 2nd best footballer on planet earth 4 times. Mind you, the award was given by those who are knowledgeable about football and not some kind of sentimental folks like you.

Mistake: Correlating UTME score to eventual performance in school.

The BGS in my department made similar score as the quoted dude. Myself nko? I didn't even make the best of scores yet I finished in the top 5%, so it doesn't work that way. Some folks even managed to scale through WASSCE but made excellent grades in their UG programme. Yes, I understand it's expected for someone who has a high UTME score to do well in an undergraduate program, but it does not always work that way.
I get your point perfectly. The truth is that performing well in school has to do more with strategising and being organised rather than what one knows. Unfortunately, some courses of study require you not only to be organised but for you to have the intellectual capacity as well. Some of such courses are Physics, computer science, engineering (just to mention a few). While I agree that a lot of things may have affected his scores on the exam day but if 182 was what he could score without much hindrance, that means he still has some struggles with his mathematics, physics and the likes. These courses do not give you the room to start learning from afresh and start getting serious. As soon as you get in, you will be bombarded with advanced maths, complex integrals and so on. Computer programming itself requires good logical and mathematical skills. Someone who is still struggling to garner 50/100 in UME maths is going to have a terrible time-out. That is my point!
It is better the person goes back and learn more then come back with a better fight next year. That is my point!

need your advice on what to do?
Computer science is for highly cerebral people. With that horrendous score of yours, you will cry almost everyday if you get in. You will regret the day you wrote "computer science" in your Utme form. People will be calling you "campus guy" when you go home for holidays but your carry overs in school can be a 4 by 4 matrix.
The point I am trying to make is this; go back to the drawing board, get all needed resources, study hard and prepare for next UTME. If you really want to study computer science, you need to be academically sound and prepared.
Funnily enough, I went to that schoOl and studied computer science but it was not called Funaab that time.
Good luck!

Ronaldo Versus Messi

My Opinion


#Ronaldo is a product of Hardwork while Messi is a product of Talent

#Ronaldo has many ways to score a goal while Messi's limited ways of scoring often come with impossible goals

#Ronaldo has more shooting power than Messi while Messi can dribble more than Ronaldo.

#Ronaldo can survive with a weak team if the weak team has a good number 3 while Messi can survive with a weak team if the team has a good number 9.

#Ronaldo can easily adjust and adapt to many patterns of football while Messi does not easily adjust and adapt but can try to change the pattern to suit his own.

#Messi can create more chances than Ronaldo while Ronaldo can convert more chances than Messi

#Ronaldo is simple with football and predictable while Messi is complex and unpredictable with football

#Ronaldo plays football as a Sport while Messi plays football as a Game

#Ronaldo understands football as a relay race while Messi understands football as a fight.

In all the two are good in what they do differently.

The duo are the best in the World.

Thanks.
Ronaldo is dual footed while Messi is one legged
Ronaldo is the best header/nodeer of the ball dead or alive while Messi does not come close
Messi has a better acceleraton than Ronaldo while Ronaldo has a better velocity.
You said Messi is not predictable? what a joke! cheesy When Messi holds the ball, he is highly predictable. If he gets the ball from the right, tries to drive in with his left foot and then bend a shot. If he gets it from the middle of the pack or anywhere near the 18, tries to exchange a 1-2, waits for the return and taps in. If he picks up the ball during counter, runs through the middle , moves sinusoidally till he gets a chance to sneak in a shot. If he picks up the ball from the right side of the midfield and no one in sight to exchange little passes with, he sends it to the LWF or the left side of midfield. If he faces the goal keeper one on one and there is a bit of space, he loops the ball. He is so so predictable. However, he is usually unstoppable most times.

Likes for team Messi & share for team Ronaldo. Assuming cr7 was the one that play against liverpool he wil definately score atleast a goal
His presence alone and the shouts of motivation to his team mates will not let then concede a whole 4 goals. What a great shame!
Messi lacks confidence, lacks will and lacks the characteristic of a captain yet, he wore the captain armband. Have you ever seen a captain that cannot even instruct his team mates? nor even clap to get them motivated nor shout at them when they are lagging? Giving someone the captain armband goes beyond how long the person has been in the team. It takes alot of guts and confidence and the captain must be someone that can gear up his team when the chips are down and not someone lacking in confidence and will-power.

Ronaldo rarely goes missing because what's expected of him is that he scores. what's expected of Messi is that he scores and also assist others to also score. And also assist others to assist someone else to score. I wonder how many MAN OF The MATCh awards Ronaldo has actually won without him scoring! probably fewer than his BALLON DO'RS I think. JUST. A. GOALSCORER.
If Messi had been "just a goal- scorer" in the second leg of the match against Liverpool and had managed to slot in just a goal or even a tap- in, Barcelonia would not be in such a terrible situation of letting go of a 3-0 first leg win. That match is one of the most embarrassing come backs in the history of football. Ronaldo is not just a goal scorer, he is far more than that. Like I said, you are a biased fellow.

Next time, try to dispute disputable points or milestones. In a paragraph where I used the first person pronoun "I" numerous times, I think it's folly to try and "see" what it was I actually saw. Maybe, for the sake of argument, you saw a not have a shot on target. But what I saw was a team of 11 players camped just outside their penalty box while instructing a full-back, a central midfielder, and a central back to prevent ONE PLAYER, a certain 20-21 years old, from playing his best game. I think, from where most people with fairness stand, fashioning a carefully and strictly followed gameplan by a team boasting the Lampards, and Ballacks, and Esseins, and Terrys, and the Drogbas, just to stifle the influence of ONE 20 year old, that has to count for something when we are talking about the best. Don't it? Perspective
What was the achievement of Messi in that match that got you awed? I am shocked that of all the pletora of wonderful games he has engaged in, you pointed to one that was so so below par and that was why I opined that maybe you were sleepy when you watched the match.
That was one of the worst matches Messi ever played.........and for the records, Bosingwa was the one in charge of Messi and not like he was followed everywhere by the whole team. Jose Bosingwa dealt with him well.

Moreover, that a team has possession does not mean the team is in control......passing the ball aimlessly around amounted to nothing. In fact, Barcelonia had to depend on a late minute strike to stand any chance and of course, Chelsea pressed well and had another shot at goal before Pique handled the ball with his hands and the referee turned blind eyes. In that game, Chelsea was tactically superior and I repeat! Messi was no where to be found.

But my eyes became clear 09. As a Chelsea fan, I really got to see Messi for what he truly was when Barca played Chelsea 2009(fvck ovrebo sha cry ). I've watched Ronaldo tire but I've never ever felt the way I did when Messi touches the ball in that Barca game. I was like that was the first time I really really really saw Messi with a football
The moment you said this, there was no need reading the remainder of your write-up as it is evident it will be laced with bias. In the match you are referring to, Jose Bosingwa was dedicated to man-mark Messi and he clipped the wings of Messi. In the entire 90 minutes, I doubt if Messi got a chance to even get close/ enter into Chelsea's box 18 up to three times(I think he only had the chance to get in just once in the entire 90 minutes).That match was one of the worst performances of Messi. They clipped his wings well and Messi became toothless in that game. In fact, in that game, almighty Barcelonia had just 1 shot on target

If VAR had existed then, Barcelonia would not have even smelled finals with the useless Ovrebo referee shunning two clear handballs that even a blind man could spot from miles away.
Maybe you were sleepy when you watched the match.

Literature › Re: Wole Soyinka Replies Reno Omokri Over Chinua Achebe Being Better Than Him by naturalwaves: 8:11pm On May 11, 2019
Sanchez01:
Soyinka's creation of the Pyrates Confraternity was to defend the oppressed. The mandate of the confraternity was to fight for human rights and social justice in Nigeria. The confraternity would engage in peaceful protests against the Nigerian government and hold an annual colloquium. The name Pyrates Confraternity was chosen for "fun" and intended to mock, and the "y" was intended to dissociate the group from modern pirates. Furthermore, the use of the word "confraternity" was intended to distinguish the Pyrates from other fraternities.

I am not a fan of cult groups, neither do I condone them but the Pyrates Confraternity till tomorrow isn't your average cult group.
I think you are being too generous with your replies. What has confraternity got to do with the subject matter at hand. You should know that when some people are losing a debate, they tend to shift focus to some inconsequential things with respect to the topic of discuss.
The fact remains that Wole Soyinka's versatility and dexterity with the pen cannot be compared to Chinua Achebe's. If the 3 genres of literature are combined, Soyinka beats Achebe hands down!
