Bro she can’t take that even bill gates and bezos wives no take up to 30% talkless of 70%

Anita should calm down for hubby oo. Wolves plenty for outside.

Good point. Another point is that they were married in Nigeria and not in the US, and while they were married, they never established physical residence, so the laws where they got married particularly if Paul isn't a US citizen would take precedence. The only thing Anita can go after is child support considering the kids are US Citizens. Then again, what do I know .

alizma:

Stop exposing your level of exposure. Nigeria is key to any global economically or politically interested body. Please come out of your room and see the world. Mentioned 3 globally recognized bodies that has no interest or presence in Nigeria.

Lmao.. Did you say Nigeria is key to any global economically or politically interested body? With it's highest poverty rate stricken economy? What they are interested in is exploiting you because of the population not that they value you... Meanwhile, they have these interest, yet it's either they're closing shop or porting over to Ghana our next door neighbor. Continue okay.

Even Twitter is losing aggressively too not only Nigeria

Twitter's worldwide revenue breakdown by geographical area shows that US and Japan accounts for about 70% of revenue leaving the other 30% to "other world". Even at that, Nigeria did not make it to the top 20 of other world. Given our economy and exchange rate, I don't think revenue from Nigeria makes any meaningful impact, hence why no significant move from Twitter. Don't overestimate our relevance when it comes to this matter.

The bank involvement would greatly impact on the general rates.. we still have those outside the book purposes today but we see the price crashing daily.. why?... because the supply is outweighing the demand on the BDC side.

For imports, people have bypassed the BDC's.. Nigerian organizations are now set up in various countries where you credit their naira account here and your payment is made abroad to the individual or organizations with a single transaction lien on transfer company account here in Nigeria until payment is received by your contact..

So how do these Nigerian companies "set up abroad" or in various countries, get rid of the stashed naira in their naira accounts? Are they an export business selling Nigerian products overseas? If these Nigerian companies abroad transact an avg of about $100k monthly, in exchange of N50M, my question is: how did they source the $100k and how do they get rid of this N50M now piled up in their account?

ah swear this is a funny statement to me, what does kyari got to do with the fraud, even if he received a gift from hushpuppi, how does that warrant for his arrest? Does it mean they will also arrest Gucci store managers in Dubai because abass bought luxury goods from them with stolen funds, ah swear some Nigerians are quick to lick on someone's downfall, it's like they waiting for someone to fall so they can jump him...
The case of onyeama made me see how fbi can issue stupid warrants once it's Africa, Nigeria especially, that is involved in the case....

But the likes of Enron, WorldComm and Bernie Madoff and so many other high profile indictments were all prosecuted and were almost all white people and Americans. Continue consoling yourself. If anyone does crime, they should face the law.

seunmsg:
So, when are you guys doing an analysis of the amount paid to Agberos in Enugu, Abia, Rivers, Anambra, Kano, Abuja etc? Abi NURTW only exist in Lagos?

Analysis like this would make a lot of sense if it was done all over the country or at least in some selected states so that we can do a comparative analysis. So, why single out Lagos state?

Btw, NURTW is a trade Union. Trade Unions and professional bodies charge their members huge sums annually. As a member of ICAN, I pay 30k to the institute as annual subscription. I still pay for conference, AGM and faculty due without complaining. So, are members of NURTW complaining? Who forced them to be members of the union?

N30k annual subscription is about N2,500 per month or about N100 per day (25 working days) , now compare that to the figures represented, that's about 1500% to 3000% increase depending on the type of operator. Now ask yourself if that's sustainable. Even more so, compare that to your earning and their earning and again ask if that's sustainable.

Yorubas will seceed before the rest of Nigeria. In 2023, those Yorubas not sure of secession will finally realise the need to and join hands.
By 2025, the newest nation in the world will be born

Lol... You want to secede, and I know Buhari and his Fulani brothers will NEVER allow a referendum, so I guess you're seriously banking on the UN to help you achieve that right? Let's watch and see how this unfolds.

Gotze1:
You like story and I never asked you question. I can't count the number of millionaires in dollars that ogun state alone has. But not here for that rubbish.

You are hyping as if he has up to a billion dollars,

You people start disturbing cyber space cos of a man that only has a net worth of not up to 100million dollars.

Sijibomi netwoth is 400million dollars and nobody is making noise.

Oga, choose your own billionaire, cos you people abuse that title too much.

Inasmuch as we recognize young hard-working individuals, but it's important not to exaggerate stuff. On that note, please tell me that you're not quoting a Nairametrics article or some other newspaper article, because in that NM article, it says that "he believes that his company is worth $400M". I've looked around online to find a good source validating this valuation, just can't find it. If you can't point me to one, that'd be helpful. Doesn't hurt to learn everyday. And also, assuming this was correct, unless he's the "sole" owner of his company (without investors of cos), then this is somewhat incorrect.

Juliusmalema:





Never take anything by all these Igbos here serious.

Nnewi igbokwes town don't play with their sons and u can't just walk in their to harass their son for one stupid reason....let them try it

moreover igbokwe has been going home and back to lagos.

Joe Igbokwe is from Uruagu, Nnewi, ask yourself whether he attends Uruagu or even Nnewi meeting in Lagos, talk more of going home. He's been excommunicated by his family and his clan. Even Joe knows that he's no longer welcome. But if you think it's a lie, you can prove to us otherwise.

except warfare, tell me one other part that makes Israel stands out?

Nigeria is one of the biggest commerce country in the world, it is one of the most diversified country, one of the most popular country, the most outstanding in its continent, socially active country. Israel no reach and I'll say it again, na corruption be our problem, from the road side hawker to the presidency, we are dangerously corrupt

One of the biggest commerce country? What in the hell is the "commerce" country? Lol.. Commercial in what areas? We're one of the biggest commerce country in the world and we can't even get the most "basic" infrastructure like electricity done correctly. Even roads and logistics is a total mess, but you would rather live in this illusion that Nigeria is one of the biggest commerce countries in the world. The joke is on you if you think Nigeria with a Per Capita of less than $3k is one of the biggest commerce and diversified country in the world.

FoolishBoy419:


America has been negotiating with terrorists for a long time bro. The most open one is the one they did with Taliban

Again, America has a long standing tradition and they DON'T negotiate with terrorists (in reference to a captured soldier or in cases of hostages etc.. Unless you have a Top Secret Security Clearance and in the know, please say what you know. The Taliban/Afghan deal you're indirectly referring to is about America's troops withdrawal and to bring peace to the region, this has nothing to do with captured Americans.

prince3009:


I am not IPOB too bro but to be honest, nothing will happen to those guys. The Israeli foreign mission in Nigeria will only mediate and then they will be released and put in a flight back to Israel. Even if one of them dies in the custody of the DSS which is still unlikely, Isreal will not just start sending rockets to Aso rock like some of my Igbo brothers are deliberating.

There are rules of engagement in wars.

The highest that will happen us that Israel will severe diplomatic ties with Nigeria.

And after severing ties, then what? Lmao.. They would obviously deal with Nigeria like they deal with nations they have no ties with

malakaimoscondo:
jmumu...even American government sit abreast with Taliban to negotiate release of captured soldier......not more nigeria an independent state...the worst na make their embassy intervene through their diplomat .......and if they are found guilty...there prison cell go they next to knau o for kuje

America DOES NOT negotiate with terrorists. Get your facts right.

Premiumwriter2:
I'll personally draft and create a contract and get the very first investors to sign that at all times I'll own 60% of the shares.

All share sales and dilution will come from the remaining 40%. Can't come and form a company and then some modaf*ckers will push me out.

This is nearly impossible for many reasons, because a bulk of the dilution comes after the the early stage of the company, which is the growth stage, and also, because of the pre and post money valuation and certain types of clauses regarding voting rights, naming of directors and much more. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but most investors wouldn't subscribe to this. May be possible for a small corporation but definitely not a large or mega type corp.

romme2u:



but where is gbawe, cramjones n passingshiit.............are they all political appointees?

Gbawe, APC's Nairaland Strategist, is still enjoying Buhari's change. I won't be surprised if he got political appointment, after all, it was rumored that "Beaf" was a political appointee in GEJ's Administration.

tomakint:

I am known already with little or no introduction on this Esteemed Platform and truly when Nairaland was at its hottest through political debates and what have you with the likes of Onlytruth, Katsumoto, Dayokanu, Berem (now Beremx), Desola, ejine, Adadike, Babyosisi, Dede, Dede1, Naptu2, Ecoterror, GeneralScatter, GeneralIgrigri, Scatterboss, Ilugunboy, Gbawe, TonyeBarcanista, Engineerboat, Ngwuake, Andre_Uweh, Ngodigha   and many other gladiators too numerous to mention and even remember. We engaged back then in hot duels that would almost looked like somebody might die in the process - oh yes it was that tough and heated in momentum but somehow we were taken by passion for a Nigeria that will work for all and that we all can be proud of as Nigerians. Unfortunately, while some of us were hardcore realists, some were mere daydreamers with their flawed analyses on political discourse. 

Shortly after the 2015 Presidential elections, we the GEJites or Jonathanians came under heavy attacks from the camps of the Buharists that Jonathan messed up the polity and it is only a Buhari Presidency that can fix the rot. The Jonathanians maintained that there was actually no rot of the magnitude the Buharists and APC were trying to paint but only propaganda by the Buharists just to get a power grab. It was in the middle of this online squabbles especially 2 months after Jonathan's loss in early May, 2015 that I coined my signature because I twas too sure that Buhari will be a disaster to our Country. Judging from what that had took place in the last 4 years and even now under Buhari, It is crystal clear that I saw the future today. My signature since that month of May, 2015 reads; "Goodluck Ebele Jonathan remains a HERO in the politicosphere of Nigeria and beyond. History will surely REMEMBER him for GOOD ! Buhari may end up being, 'the proverbial Hossana to the King and later on Crucify him' this is the story of Nigerian Politics"   looking at this signature you need no interpreter to tell you that what I saw and some of us (GEJites) saw about Buhari and his deens (Buharideens) have all been coming to pass right before our very eyes. May Nigeria survives this disaster called Buhari.

It sure has been a while on this forum; I did not know you were served a ban... Anyway, thank you for this wonderful post. Many saw into the future - that Buhari would be and still remains a colossal disaster. The Buharists were so certain that Nigeria would be the next Eldorado, they all believed that he would supposedly fix Jonathan's mess and Nigeria's problem with a magic wand; little did they know their bubble was about to burst, and their troubles were about to start, more so compounded. Sometimes ago, I believe about a year ago, I saw a post from "Berem" who was a staunch Buharigerian, and all a sudden, changed course and was against him. I guess she herself experienced the change Buhari promised. Nigerians are in fire for another gruesome four years, I'm hoping that all supporters of Buhari feel the "change" as well.

Hello all, I am very capable to handle your business for you. A few good ones are still out there.

You can reach me on 0703 208 8131

I am considering opening an online store but need to get the products, if your claim of being trustworthy is reliable, would you be willing to provide sureties? Thanks!!!

MajorJeffery:
Nigeria trained pilot who flys in US usually ends up as a regional pilot with peanut pay. I pray he doesn't end as one. Congratulations bro.

Because ALL pilots start out with regionals not just Nigerian pilots...EVERYBODY. Yes they pay you peanuts, but after you've earned enough flight hours and probably a type rating, then you can join the majors. With the pilot shortage, regionals are paying more and even there are tuition payback programs from some airlines up to $20,000. Airlines like American even offer a transition path from the regional carriers to American itself. So it's not terrible as you paint it.

FemiMaduka:
Sadly, our whole air traffic data put together can not match that of O.R. Thambo International Airport Johannesburg ALONE! Abeg, what are these simpletons fighting about?

I doubt if MMIA has the facility to take the Airbus A380 or the Antonov An 224.

We have a lot of work to do...

A 747 can't even land there and you're talking about an A380

Elparaiso:


Forgiving? He paid the best lawyers, dude.

And you think she did not have the best lawyers? Marriage in the US is not Nigeria, she willingly relinquished control and voting rights, compared to how messy some women can be, she was very lenient and just stuck with her shares of Amazon. Many women would want more and more... There's nothing any lawyer would do to change the community property law, even Mr. Bezos knows this. All lawyers will do is drag the case for more money... As simple as it was, divorce was finalized in such a short period. So trust me, she was very lenient.

kernel001:


If you think they don't make as much, yet they own over 65 airplanes. And still making orders of new Airplanes.

An airplane is NOT a car you easily buy, airplane purchases are financed as capital leases or direct financing if you qualify with an outstanding credit profile. There are different methods of aircraft financing, even major airline corps finance their purchases to free up cash flow and NOT thru direct cash purchase. Now, though I talked about revenues, what you're talking about "owning" 65 airplanes is asset and literally doesn't have any major relationship to revenue. A good example assuming you're a Real Estate Developer, you built a 65 homes worth $65million, does that mean you would net $65million in annual rental revenues? This is the simplest analogy without me delving into this topic.

kernel001:


My dear, lots of Igbos are mega rich, but wouldn't make noise to avoid government coming after them.

The first place I worked while doing my IT years again, my Boss and his partner makes an average profit of over 2 billion every year, he's not loud, so... You wouldn't know him.

If according to you, they make N2billion a year, and most businesses net about 5-8% net profit margin, then it's fair to say that revenues are in excess of N35billion annually, or about N3billion monthly. I'm sorry, that's not the type of business that's under the radar that govt cannot come after them. Even Air Peace doesn't net $100 million annual revenues yet it's a well known aviation company.

As much as this is a welcome development, I would caution that they ease out on buying new airplanes aggressively. This is how many airlines went bankrupt due to cash pledged in the purchase of new airplanes, and the most recent which is WOW airlines.

I swear, our leaders are not the problem, Nigerians are. Someone brought a petition against injustice which should be treated with respect whether or not he's from a major party, instead of people listening to his plight, just imagine the nonsense flooding this page? This is why the poor doesn't get justice in Nigeria... smh

ThothHermes:
How come the pilots had no idea that it was a wrong route till they landed?

Is this how it is always done?

Was there no announcement.

Did the pilot think he was supposed to be going to Scotland?

Who is to blame really?

I'm really in the dark here.

Do you think a flight path and coordinates is visible like you have traffic signs on the roads? Pilots fly IFR after a certain altitude and unless it's a flight route frequently flown by the same crew which isn't often the case anyway, it's next to impossible to notice the error. The dispatcher informs the crew you're heading to Germany, but goes right ahead to file a flight plan to Scotland, Pilot programs his flight management computers with Scotland information as provided by the dispatcher. Pilot believes he's flying to Germany after all, and doesn't notice the problem until he's probably on final approach. Inasmuch as the pilot is responsible to check over dispatch information and make sure airport codes are correct, mistakes and lack of oversight do happen, the person to really blame is the dispatcher that handed over wrong information to the pilot to program. I can bet that Germany's airport code has the same characters as Scotland, perhaps it was transposed.

Just out of curiosity, if you gave every member of your family 700k monthly, ummm.... Why are they still coming back to you to give them money ?�

zizi4real:


Lol Thanks I just did same explanation, it was opening and closing balance not money that passed through

I'm sure investigators aren't that stupid particularly after a forensic investigation. If there was any meaningful, out-of-the norm transactions, don't you think it would have been publicized? The reason why they wanted him to resign is so that you and I wouldn't know the truth. The same govt that accused him of billions should tender evidence publicly, or why is CCB threatening to arrest journalist? Because there is nothing valid. Buhari that hasn't "properly" declared his assets shouldn't not be throwing stones from a glass house.

Ejimagifty:
If i were Osibanjo, i will make sure i don't share these money in the south east. Let's see how their petty traders will cope without such loans since they love to hate APC.

I personally don't have a problem with that but as long as the FG doesn't charge us taxes on everything, drill oil and gas from the region, and much more it gets from the SE. If you ask me, I think the equation should be equaled. Do you think the average petty trader in the SE wants a meager N10,000... #SMH

9jaArea:


Sure thing, I think the issue here is non declaration as mandated by the constitution of FRN

Did Buhari declare his assets?

Ubenedictus:
They dont need to be 'intervening' all day, just shut down the auto pilot systems and fly the plane like any other plane, chikena.

Many pilots engage the autopilot during take off and landing, not through out the flight. They can always fly manually.

It seems in these cases the pilots didnt know it was the autopilot he engaged that is nosediving the plane, so he panicked instead of simply disengaging the autopilot.

Try flying a plane for an hour, and then 3hrs and then more hours manually, then you'd see why it's necessary to engage A/P. Anyway, there seems to be a lot of chaotic contradictions, most pilots and Boeing engineers have repeatedly stated that MCAS automatically activates ONLY when the A/P is on OFF position. So this wasn't an A/P issue, but an MCAS software issue, and more, more training on how to disengage this system, at least during the crucial stage of flight.

Gabvic:

Your comment has already described you bro, you are not poor but a Poke noser into other people's affairs, being poor is even better you

I'm a poke noser? Lmao..Don't hate the player, hate the game. Need I remind you this is a public space, wherein posts like yours are subject to criticism. I've seen clients get scammed by people like you, and to think Seun allows this scam on his site makes more sense why real people have left NL. Boy, just hit me up privately, I will bless you with $5 or N1,700 which is almost 20x your minimum, at least that way you can be super rich. Lmao... What a load of fuckery!!!!!

rawpadgin:

I was wondering, why are there no parachutes in air planes?

Am sure the pilots knows that the plane will crash like 5/10 minutes time b4 it eventually crashed

If there was parachutes inside the aircraft the pilots would told them to jump & save themselves

Then, even if na lions den u land put, at least u know u still have a lifeline

Commercial airplanes aren't designed like fighter jets where you pull a latch and baam, you escape. First, aircraft doors and latches are designed with such tensile strength to protect against intense pressure and temperature, and such, makes it nearly impossible to open midflight. And even if you were able to open it, chances of the plane disintegrating is highly possible.
Secondly, pressurization starts at about 8,000ft MSL, usually at that level, cabin is pressurized. Even if you escaped thru a parachute, you'd probably pass out due to low oxygen and cold temperature in few seconds... Finally, an airplane climbs out at least 1,200ft /min, but when it's on a freefall nose or tail dive, all bets are off. It's dive speed could be up to 4x or almost 5,000 ft/min... A plane at 9,000 ft which Ethopian was at needed less than 2min to hit terrain. In such chaos, two mins is just enough time to reconcile with God your creator and not enough time to react by aiming for a parachute. Please note that when the plane is on a vertical dive, how do you intend to move around the cabin? Besides, even if you had time, passengers are not really trained to use a parachute... So it's not possible in other words.
