Oh wow Dino melaye graduate with PhD from American university let us clap too.

Black fools


On Thursday, The Presidency said President Bola Tinubu became the first African President to ring the closing bell at the world’s second-largest stock exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ).

This was disclosed through the Special Adviser of Media & Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

Is Tinubu the first?
Checks by Nairametrics reveal that President Tinubu is not the first African President to ring the closing bell at NASDAQ.

On September 21, 2011, President Kikwete of Tanzania rang the closing bell at NASDAQ in the presence of First Ladies Health Ministers, and Global Health Leaders.
President Kikwete rang the bell in honour of Global Health Commitments for Women’s Health and Women’s Cancers at the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City’s Times Square.

Here’s an excerpt from NASDAQ’s official website ahead of the bell-ringing ceremony by the Tanzanian President:

“Global Health Leaders will announce Global Health Commitments for Women’s Health and Women’s Cancers at the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City’s Times Square.
In honour of the occasion, President Kikwete of Tanzania, First Ladies and Health Ministers, and Global Health Leaders will officially ring The NASDAQ Stock Market Closing Bell.”
The Verdict
Based on available information, President Bola Tinubu is not the first African President to ring the closing bell at NASDAQ Stock Exchange

Laughable the way these tribalist 'suffering and smiling' agbado supporters reason.

GEJ rang the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) bell in 2013 without noise. Pls note, the NYSE is the most capitalized stock exchange in the world.

Tribalism is Nigeria's biggest problem
