Re: Why do the rich prefer not to buy assets in their names?
in Economics
Just on top of my head, maybe for safety and security reasons. It could also be that the money isn’t clean. You’d see this most commonly with politicians. They buy and own assets under different names because they don’t want the public to know about their wealth.
Recently I watch a clip on YouTube that explain this better, which make me understand why they are doing that, they main reason why they are behaving like that is to find security for themselves and their business, he also started that using the same name with your business also affect the growth of someone because whenever the business is in trouble definitely you are also in trouble, but when the names are different, it's more safe because it will only affect one out of two.

Re: Is money the most precious thing?
in Economics
Money can not be the most important thing…

There are things in life way more important than money… Talking about, your integrity, your values, the kind of person you are when nobody is watching… those things does not have a price tag..

Even time itself, once it’s gone, it’s gone. No amount of money can bring it back… Same with peace of mind, real relationships with friends and families, good health… those are the real wealth..
Money is important.. but calling it the most important thing? It is not..
You definitely have a point that money should not be considered as important only, because there are so many other things which you have mentioned that are very important also which money cannot buy, money is only there to satisfy our need and earn us some respect from others, people nowadays worship money because if you don't have money no one will even know that you exist that is why a lot of people with poor mentalities believe that money is everything just because they don't have opportunity to hold it on their hand.

Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024
in Gambling discussion
With four games left in the season, we can say that Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo, who dreamed of winning in Saudi Arabia too, are almost there. I’m also convinced they will put together a great team for next year to take on the asian Champions League. The team shouldn’t slip up in the final matches, partly because CR7, with his experience, will keep everyone on the right track.
Right now their distance with the trophy is just two wins, because currently they have a very huge gap and I don't see them losing any form now, which I believe in their capacity and their ability to win this trophy. Al-Nassr have invested so much in the last two transfer window which they are seeing the result positively now, and I don't see any team that can challenge them with the current squat present because all the part are functioning very well.

So many people are shouting that everything that is happening now is all because of Cristiano Ronaldo because they want him to win the trophy, that is why they are currently leading, if some people cannot perform very well they usually bring excuses which does not rhyme with what they are saying, but to show people that they have been cheated, this is a Al-Nassr season and nobody can stop them from doing whatever they are doing because they have invested so much and that is why it is reflecting. But despite that they still don't want to believe.

Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

I dont believe in the Mourinho rumours to take charge in Real Madrid at all, i mean he is old now and the new players are not gonna ""respect"" him in the way he needs, they are super cocky and they are not gonna run when he ask them to do so, i dont see him fit anymore for this new way of playing football despite being one of the best coach in history.
As long as it remains a rumor, I think there's still chance for him to return to Real Madrid, that big team needs a mature figure as a manager. The latest news I saw from the news outlets is that there's 1 problem if Real Madrid wants to bring in Mourinho, that's the release clause, Real Madrid must pay €6M to get him from Benfica.

Mourinho is a good coach, and with the way things are currently going Real Madrid really an expletive coach that can fit in and manage this team the way they want. Saying the players won’t respect as they are supose to, I don’t really think they will do dat Mourinho know what he’s doing and honestly, if Real Madrid get him as their manger things may change, for the fact that Madrid need an experience manager they will do everything to see that they succeed in getting him if the rumor later be truth.
Mourinho had coach real Madrid before and honestly it is very interesting but the only thing that you could not achieve is winning the Champions League but he set up actually make the team great again compared to how they were underperforming before he came. It can never be denied that  Mourinho is a great coach and he always perform excellently anywhere he went to, he has been in the business for a very long time and so many people expect him to fade away but he keep on appearing as if he just came newly. I don't know how true it is for him to return to Real Madrid, but I'm seeing it online almost everywhere but I wish it happened again because currently real Madrid are seriously facing problems.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

This first one would be small to what we are going to watch next because is the final leg and no more additional chance for the teams but however it has been so because of the only one goal PSG had above Bayern Munich because is very easy for the same aggregate the moment Bayern scored first, then from there Kompany will no if the game is deeper than him or flexible. If the match had favoured Olise it would have been Bayern Munich with the 5 goals or 6 goals because few shot he took was meant to be in the net but somehow it doesn't penetrate in. It was just a goal to be 10 goals Bayern Munich and PSG produce on this first match.

they will certainly have the chance to win the match, Bayern Munich is definitely one of the best teams in Europe and i think they are also superior to PSG who have shown that they are back, but i don't think what they do is enough, in fact i think they are superior and they will prove it easily.
Bayern Munich will host the second leg which I have so much hope on them that they can definitely turn it into an advantage for them to qualify to the final, Bayern Munich is a very strong Club for a very long time and I don't expect them to be so stupid to allow Paris Saint-Germain win them at home after all this wonderful performance. Since kampany came as the head coach of bayern Munich, to be honest they have been playing very well without any disappointment from them and that is what exactly they have shown in their last match champions league match against paris Saint-Germain.

Despite they did not win the match but their performance rise Up of their fans again because no one taught that the match will end like that because of how PSG was leading but unfortunately Bayern Munich did the right thing but reducing the number of goals to one to one, let see how the second leg will be.

after last night’s legendary match, i think everyone’s expectations for today’s atlético - arsenal game are low, but i don’t think it will be as slow-paced and scoreless as people expect. atlético madrid is aware that arsenal is the favorite in this round. i think they’ll want to take an early lead in this home match. going into the away leg with a favorable score will be important for them, because things will be even tougher there. arsenal is a team with a strong defense, so i feel like we might see a great goal from atlético madrid tonight with some shots from distance.

The PSG vs Bayern Munich match was very exciting. Both teams scored a lot of goals. We saw 9 goals in 90 minutes. There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid and both are very strong in today's match. But there is no possibility of seeing so many goals in this match.

Arsenal's squad is strong. But the team is not in good form now. We have been seeing Arsenal's irregular performance for quite some time. Also, the match will be held in Spain. Atletico Madrid is quite strong at home. So the chances of Arsenal winning today's match are very low. Maybe Atletico Madrid will win or the match will be drawn.
We have seen what happened to Bayern Munich yesterday against paris Saint-Germain, today we're about to witness arsenal against Atletico Madrid, so many people have hopeful Atletico Madrid just because of how arsenal performing lately but to me i still back Arsenal on this journey, not that I am underestimating Atletico Madrid but the courage arsenal have built earlier especially in the Champions League, i don't see anything that can stop them from going to final.

Few hours to go for the both teams to know their faith in the first leg, arsenal is the host of the game and I have confidence in them because of that, so let see what will happen when the match ends.

Re: ⚽ Premier League 2025/2026 Discussion Thread ⚽
in Gambling discussion

While for Manchester city they have a week rest before playing their next premier league. It been a season of ups and downs for both team and I also have this feeling that we might wait till the very last day to see how will be the champions of England this season.

I think Manchester City has really improved in their performance lately,  but I still think Arsenal will win the premier at the end of the season. I think they have come to far to let it slip at this point, also I think Manchester City has more difficult fixtures than Arsenal,  so I think this will get to play a part in the race to the title.  Like I said earlier I still believe that Arsenal will win the premier league,  but it's not going to be easy, because I also think the title will be finally decided on the last day.

Don't say you think when it is already happening, Manchester City have improved and I don't see anything that can stop those guys, they always have way of removing Arsenal from the top which they have done it again. Arsenal have lost the only chance they have to win the trophy because order football fans always talking positively against us now due to their performance and the teamwork that is involved in their process.

Manchester City have now focus on Premier League compare to Arsenal that is still playing Champions League, at least with this we can point out that the attention will be divided into two.

Re: Unknown gunmen kill Ebonyi Monarch.
in Politics and society (Naija)
Thus just shows how bad the insecurity issues of this country has really gone bad. How can a monarch be killed in his own house. If the government can't even protect these monarch,  then can they protect the common people of the country.  It's so bad to hear about the killing of the monarch,  but I think it's tike the government needs to do something about the insecurity issue in the country and help to stop all this killing,  because it will get to a time that the people can not take it no more and they will find a way to protect themselves and that may lead to serious chaos in the country.  The government need to do their job and make things right.
Things are getting worse when it comes to security, we are actually facing a lot but the government turn to forget us just because they are comfortable with their family. With the look of things, it looks like government is indirectly involved in this insecurity matters because if all these bandit or terrorist are put together i don't think they will be up to 10,000 and Nigerian soldiers are more than 100,000, this will be very difficult for me to explain to someone when someone asked. This issue of terrorist is just being used as a money making machine that is why it's continued to happen everyday and Nigeria government don't care to take charge.

Re: Does the new tax law in Nigeria impact or weaken the economy?
in Politics and society (Naija)
I am not kicking against new tax system that was introduced but the problem is that the ones that will be taxed for have not reflect for us to see. I am a Nigerian and we all know how Nigeria operate, the problem is that Nigerian government will promise and fail, that is exactly what we are seeing now, taxing us without anything to show is actually useless and wickedness. We don't have any option to stop this people because they are very powerful and they have so many strategies of dealing with us and that is why they are able to find a way in removing tax from us.

Just like United States of America taxpayer always take it there by themselves just because they are able to witness the impact of it but in Nigeria i don't think they will see anyone that will come and pay, that is why they are taxing us where we cannot catch them. But we should always continue to pray for a better Nigeria because right now we are in a total mess.

Re: Doing business in Nigeria
in Politics and society (Naija)
I don’t know if I will say doing a business in Nigeria now could be the best answer to the question  ow because it takes one with good business strategy to succeed as a business man in Nigeria. The flaunting in price of good now is enough reason to destroy the effort of one in Nigeria.  But  o matter what I think business is far much better than leaving under a specific salary when we all know on daily basis the prices of things changes but salary is constant
Depending on salary alone is a serious disease because it come with a specific amount which is fixed for a time and when inflection comes that is when salary earners face a lot of challenges because their money is constant, it only change when there is promotion and for a civil servants to get any promotion they have to work for 3 years before they are salary can increase, you can see that there's no a better life for a civil servant and that is why is better for them to have plan B so that things don't just go wrong at the same time.

Doing business in Nigeria is actually difficult, but since we don't have anywhere to go and we need to survive, we will make sure we adapt and set up a small business that will be giving us daily income even though it's not much but it can close some gaps which salary cannot close completely.
