Celebrities / Re: Divorce: Paul Okoye’s Wife, Anita, Demands N7.8m Monthly Support by manny4life(m): 2:57pm On Aug 21, 2021 |
jaxxy: 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 . 1 Like |

alizma: 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. 1 Like |

morikee: 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. |

Esseite: 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? |

seunmsg: 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. 1 Like |

Gotze1: 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. 2 Likes |

Investment / Re: Can The Board Of Directors Fire The Owner Of A Company? by manny4life(m): 7:54am On Jun 08, 2021 |
Premiumwriter2: 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. 1 Like |

tomakint: 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. 3 Likes |

Celebrities / Re: Miracle Ikechukwu Igbokwe Passes US Aviation Exam by manny4life(m): 3:34am On May 04, 2019 |
MajorJeffery: 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. |

Elparaiso: 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. |
Travel / Re: Air Peace Orders 30 Brand New E195-E2 Jets In $2.1bn Deal With Embraer by manny4life(m): 2:01pm On Apr 04, 2019 |
kernel001: 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: 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. 2 Likes |

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. 1 Like |

Travel / Re: British Airways Flight To Germany Mistakenly Lands In Scotland by manny4life(m): 6:24am On Mar 28, 2019 |
ThothHermes: 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. |

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.

Ubenedictus: 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. 1 Like |

Travel / Re: No Bodies Recovered From Ethiopia Airlines Crash Site by manny4life(m): 12:08am On Mar 14, 2019 |
rawpadgin: 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. 21 Likes |
