daveP:
Kvara was ghost until he saw that juicy yellow. My my.


Somethings need to change after tonight. One of them is this stale possession for any finals we've been in. If we want to win the ucl, we need to control the game and not sit back without a creative plan to counter like Cr7 real madrid team under Zidane.

On one side, consolation go wan dey say na pk. But on the other hand, this team will regret not having more possession of the ball especially AFTER the top threats of PSG were subbed off. That was the cue to change the entire dynamics of the game. We had the exact personnel on the field to change the dynamics and hold onto the ball more. Were we locked in mentally?Arsenal my my dear Club!!
Zidane's Madrid never had such poverty possession stats in a UCL final or any big KO game for that matter. In fact, Madrid dominated possession in all their UCL wins except for the 2022 final vs Liverpool where they had 46% possession and 2016 vs Tico (48%). I can even understand 40% possession, but 25% in a UCL final is borderline Eibar vs Barca stats. So abeg no compare Arteta Haram Ball masterclass with Madrid UCL winning teams.

Boss, please is it possible to run MSc Mechanical Engineering with full-time job?
This is a tricky question. MSc Mech is a full-time program, so it might be tricky running it along with a full-time job, but yeah it could be possible if your type of job is a bit flexible (gives time flexibility for attending physical lectures etc).

I am applying for MSc Mathematics in this current admission window. I need clarity on the full tuition fees, as I can't find the details on their website. I want to know how much the tuition fee for MSc Mathematics is, the accommodation fees, and whether I am paying the school fees each semester or once. I would appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks.
For their full-time program, you pay only once, with the deadline being a few weeks before your first semester exams (usually around late March/April). The total tuition fees (inclusive of all university fees) should be in the 378K-ish range for the one-year full-time science/engineering programs, but also budget another #30-50K for departmental fees. Full-time fees are generally cheaper than part-time fees. For Accommodation cost, it is easily above #250K per session. Other miscellaneous fees (e.g. 5,500 prospectus fee, etc.) can easily inflate the total budget too. Just do your research before committing to their admission.

RomanceRe: Asking Random Girls For Phone Numbers On The Street; What's the chances? by Potvalor: 6:20pm On Apr 13
If you look "Okayish" as a guy, your success rate with collecting random phone numbers shouldn't be that bad. Though I don't really like the idea, the success rate should be within the range of 30-50% for any decent-looking guy, or at worst, far better than your 2/100 (2%) claim. FYI girls easily give out their numbers to random guys and male toasters, so it isn't really a big deal.

All cr7 8 World Cup goals na useless goals, Zero goals in knockout

Cr7 is miles ahead of dinho in football for sure ,but na God I take beg you don’t ever bring Ronaldo to anything that involves the WC ,he is useless there ,he doesn’t even have a better WAC legacy that Ahmed musa
Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini, and other legends don't also have a WC knockout goal, so abeg rest with the KO agenda😂. You be Messi fanboy so it's normal to try to use the "WC stick" to beat CR7. But FYI, CR7 WC legacy isn't even as bad as you all like to paint it. He played his first WC semifinal at 21yo, won a PK and got Rooney sent off in the quarterfinals. Had a good WC2010 only to be KO by Spain (the eventual winners), same for WC2018, and scored 8 WC goals in total, being the record holder for scoring in all 5 WC he has played.

All this for someone who played for Portugal, a country who needed playoffs to qualify for many of their WC appearances. Similar to saying Diego Costa has a bigger EPL legacy than Harry Kane (when comparing EPL strikers) cos the latter no see EPL win in a poorer Tottenham side.

Edit: even your GOAT only scored his first KO goal in the last WC aged 35. So who says CR7 won't break his own jinx aged 41?😂

lol, CR7 8 WC goals vs Dinho 2 WC goals.
CR7 game vs Spain (@2018WC) >>> Any Dinho best WC game.
And let’s not even start with their general UCL/Club/NT career, but haters want to big up Dinho against a whole CR7 cos he won the World Cup with star-studded Brazil😂. Kimbeast analogy of Maldini (no WC ) vs Umtiti (a WC winner as a starter) already exposes the foolery.

Nah, Tchouameni is definitely having a better game than Pitarch in our midfield play. Cama for Pitarch and Gonzalo Garcia for Brahim or Valverde (if he needs rest) by 65-70 minute mark is the way to go IMO. Then Mbappe can come in for the last 10-15 minutes for Vini.

No changes from the first leg except for Mendy's injury-enforced swap for Fran Garcia. Anyway, I kinda feel sympathetic for Camavinga, imagine being benched by Guler & young Thiago in back2back KO big games. Surely any transfer bid above €60m in the summer and he's off?

P.S: I still want Cama in our future though & still rate him very highly despite his mediocre season, but I think an EPL move is likely after the WC if he finally pushes for exit for a bigger role in a new team.

I still believe Rodrygo isn't finished yet.
He has a strong mentality.
But I'm happy Endrick is getting his shine, I just wish we gave him more chances but it's all good.
For your first sentence, I hope so too cos he is still one of my favorite Madrid players. Quick recovery for him. Gracias

one of the good things about the Endrick loan is that now he gets called up by Brazil which was his goal.
Happy for Endrick, but still gutted for Rodrygo. Had good feeling that he (Rodrygo) will have a good World Cup tournament especially with his new No.10 free role for Don Carlo. The ACL injury might have just fvcked up his career, but fingers crossed still. Hopefully, Endrick will stake his claim for the main WC squad with good performances in these 2 games.

Posting pictures here and there and daily posting repetition shows truly you aren't what you claim to post.

You are weak and seeking for front page validation everyday.

You aren't even close to becoming an alpha cuz alpha isn't by words but by role cuz heavy is the head that wears the crown but yours is just to be seeking for views which you and I know that you won't get.

Stop forcing threads to people's throat by force
Copying quotes from other sources and posting them here is not that bad, as long as the messages are valuable enough. But the idea of adding random pictures finally spoiled the thread IMO. I used to check in here every once in a while to read new content, but the random images are discouraging enough to call quits now. Just my opinion though.

While I heartily congratulate all the convocating students, most especially the best of the best among them, I really would like some to explain the difference between first class honours and distinction in Bachelor Degree certification.

I ask because I'm confused in the below:
The number is made up of 617 first-class honours and 92 distinctions, all in the Bachelor’s Degree category, and 502 distinctions in the Postgraduate category.
Thank you so very dearly.
First class is the best grade (4.50 and above CGPA) for most courses, while distinction (above 70%) applies to Medical courses like Medicine, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy etc that don't use first class but instead Distinction and Pass.

Has anyone tried paying the Prospectus fee again to the new Stanbic IBTC bank account (despite paying to the older Microfinance bank) and then got screened? Asking because I am still yet to be screened since 13th December after uploading all the necessary documents. So I was thinking about repaying into the new account, if that might be the cause for the delay. Any ideas?

Waiting till April, will mean losing the compound interest that should have been earned, if I were to reinvest my Q4 2025 earnings.
This should be for 2026 Q1 interest. Don't panic yet, your 2025 Q4 interest will be reinvested today or tomorrow latest.

Edit: the reinvestment alert just dropped now.

I noticed my Cowrywise Q4 2025 earnings are yet to be reinvested.
(Specifically for Cowrywise and Trustbanc in Cowrywise).

Does anyone have this same experience on cowrywise?
No, it is not normal. My ARM MMF (on Cowry app) was reinvested by 9:50 AM today. But I'm still waiting for the Cowry MMF reinvestment update. 1st is a public holiday, so it's understandable they extended it till 2nd. Any extra extension past today isn't okay. I will check back later by late evening, to confirm though.
