Any events happening at his backyard, he must find a way of twisting the narration.
Foreigners are now calling out Peter Obi's hypocrisy, something we have been yarning for a while are you sure you understood the whole thing? At post, Obi used a term widely used and generally accepted in Nigeria. Just like we widely use "Comity of nations" instead of "Community of nations" not knowing when to use the other. Another example is a Nigerian who goes to the UK and says he is sick and wants to buy "drugs" instead of "meditation" |

kettykin: I told people that igbos will thrive more when there is an economic crisis. Let me explain, when there is a crisis in the jungle, the lower animals run helter skelter in chaos while the king of the jungle poach in ambush.
In the Nigeria of today and in the world, only very few nations thrive during recession and war. Now that petrol price has hit roof tops , because of the small landmass of the igbo nation, inter state transportation will not be excessively expensive, unlike large landmass states, thereby giving igbos an edge .
The interstate transport companies are all going towards gas while ivm has an electric alternative to petrol cars transportation in the south east is always more expensive than other regions. Onitsha to Agbor is 76km While Awka to enugu is 81 km. Only difference of 5km. But onitsha to Agbor is ₦2,000 while Awka to enugu is ₦4,500 |

papyjaypaul: I know more about the topic that you probably imagine. There are private bureau in Nigeria. We have the Credit Bureau Association of Nigeria which is an incorporated not-for-profit and non-governmental business management organization formed to promote a credit reporting culture.
Tell me, since you mentioned a global thing, what is your credit score
Please don't forget my question, I am not interested in proving myself right or yourself wrong, we can have a healthy discussion and learn from each other. Focus your arguments on it's relevance to this thread, not on who know pass. I think I have been able to establish that one's credit score affects the interest he pays on loans. many countries use similar principles (such as assessing a person's creditworthiness based on their financial behavior), the specific models, scoring ranges, and credit bureaus can differ. Here are some key points on how credit score ratings differ across the globe:
1. United States
Credit Bureaus: Equifax, Experian, TransUnion.
Common Score Model: FICO Score and VantageScore.
Range: Typically 300 to 850 (FICO).
Criteria: Payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, types of credit, and recent credit inquiries.
2. United Kingdom
Credit Bureaus: Equifax, Experian, TransUnion (formerly Callcredit).
Score Range: Ranges vary by bureau, e.g., Experian uses 0-999, Equifax 0-1000, and TransUnion 0-710.
Criteria: Similar to the U.S., including payment history, credit utilization, and public records like bankruptcy.
3. Canada
Credit Bureaus: Equifax, TransUnion.
Common Score Model: FICO Score.
Range: 300 to 900.
Criteria: Payment history, credit usage, length of credit history, and inquiries.
4. India
Credit Bureau: CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau of India Limited).
Range: 300 to 900.
Criteria: Repayment history, outstanding debt, credit type, and duration of credit history.
5. Australia
Credit Bureaus: Equifax, Experian, Illion.
Range: Equifax Score ranges from 0 to 1200, while Experian ranges from 0 to 1000.
Criteria: Payment history, credit accounts, defaults, credit applications.
6. Germany
Credit Bureau: SCHUFA (Schutzgemeinschaft für allgemeine Kreditsicherung).
Range: 0 to 100 (percent-based).
Criteria: Payment history, debt levels, and public records.
7. South Africa
Credit Bureaus: Experian, TransUnion, Compuscan.
Range: 0 to 999.
Criteria: Payment behavior, credit utilization, and debt levels.
Differences in Factors:
Credit Reporting: Different countries have varied laws on what data can be collected and reported to credit bureaus. Some countries have more detailed data on missed payments, while others may have stricter privacy regulations.
Scoring Models: Although FICO is widely used in the U.S. and Canada, many countries have developed their own scoring systems tailored to their specific economic and legal frameworks.
Lending Practices: In some countries, credit scoring may play a less significant role, with lenders relying on other factors like income or asset ownership. |

If you have a credit score, you will be able to view it for free from your bank or credit rating agency. What is your point exactly? Are you saying that credit score in Nigeria is different from what I posted? Go to first central credit bureau and check your credit score then come back and tell us the difference.

Tombrown3: What's the threshold for the determinant of the credit score? someone who pays back his loan before the due day will always have good credit score, while someone who wait till the due date or after will have a poor credit score. That is one of the things your BVN is used for. Even a landlord may request your bvn to run a credit check on a potential tenant to see if the tenant pays back loans in time in order to see if he can rent his house to him

One's credit score determines the interest on his loan. That's how it works worldwide.
You will see another person with good credit score get very low interest on the same loan amount.
If Mr A and Mr B want to take a loan of 500k each but Mr A. Has very low credit score and Mr B has good credit score. The interest on the 500k loan for Mr A will be far higher than that of Mr B. Eg:
Mr A Loan amount =500k, interest = 400k
Mr B loan amount =500k, interest = 150k
