CSTRR:
Apart from Ramos, which major player did not play against Chelsea?

See question

Mayor555:
E Pele oo, oga analyst

You must be feeling you gave 'Sir Ferguson-esque' experience input, he come even paint and bold hin comment, to show off knowledge bah?

Alaye, make I clear you? You just dey foam for mouth, dey yan opata.

What did Madrid play yesterday that was exceptional, in fact they suffered. Check stat now, abi Na back of tv you watch.

Leave this yeye talk of experience alaye, the only experience I saw in play yesterday was banging yellow cards on goal bound movements and their corner kicks were deadly. Aside that, nothing mega! Chelsea chop them. Stats dey.

Na Chelsea strikers I blame for this your yeye blue and black comment...you must be really feeling yourself...

Nonsense and ingredients.

An in-form Chelsea could not beat an injury battered Madrid. And you are still talking?

CSTRR:
Real Madrid are in form.
Chelsea just made them look stuoidy.

Besides, kante is better than casemeiro.
Form or no form.

Yiu say this Madrid is in form? A team that has lost several.key players to injury? Chelsea could not beat a mardrid without Ramos, Valverde, Vasquez. A rusty Carvahal and Hazard both of whom have not played for a greater part of tge season. Please argue intelligently

[quote author= post=101157013]The Excess Crude Account was looted dry.
foreign reserves drawn down.
Federation Account, emptied.
We made the highest revenue in the history of our nation, But they still borrowed money to pay salaries!!!
And the economy was set on an irreversible path to recession.
NEVER AGAIN will our nation be that unfortunate.

We will get over this perilous time together in our nation.
Slow and steady we will get to the country of our dreams.
Nigeria will be great in our lifetime.
God bless Nigeria.


Time of plenty.....?
Hmmmmm, this is deeper!

We Rise!

Meanwhile,
The DPR should be commended for proactively taking concrete steps to boost the revenue accruing to the Government from these underperforming assets.[/quote]What does the production of barrels per day have to do with the looting money in excess crude account? Stop misleading people on a topic you know nothing about

emmanuelewumi:
The bet were financed by the Investment Bankers

what they lost is Chicken change to what Bill Hwang lost. Goldman and JP Morgan did not lose because they were the first to close their position by selling the stocks which he deposited as collateral. Morgan Stanley lost about $300m. The ones who got blown were credit suisse and Nomura. Yes risk managment was poor given his reputation, but if he had closed his leveraged bets after amassimg $10bn, we would be calling him a genius. Just a bad day at the office

emmanuelewumi:
Investment Banking firms on Walls Street have done crazy things in the past and will continue to do crazy things.

They package risky derivatives, excess leverage to traders, little risk or no risk management when the times are good.


At the end of the day government will bail them out, but their customers will be left in the cols

Nobody told him not to exit when he had already made $10bn from credit swaps instead he was increasing his bets

SeaTrade:
5.5m naira can't buy you a new car bros,
Take am eazy

Who told it happened in recent time? Investigative journalist

emmanuelewumi:
Food for thought. Happy Sunday

I've seen this happen up close. A colleague won N8.3m from bet 9ja. The guy carry N5.5m go buy tear rubber car. I nearly had a heart attack

Lazyyouth4u:
The problem with Nigeria is hypocrisy. We will tell lies, cheat and steal from our fellow human beings, support criminals, insult and abuse people and then go to church and mosque to pray. We will even do dry fasting during Lent and Ramadan and then start writing motivational quotes all over the place.

How won’t God continue to punish us? We are the most hopeless sets of human beings on this planet!

i dont agree with the bolded sha. We get hope pass Venezuela

Netflix at this level should be a good buy

Dem dom dey go.one by one

yom2:
they should just abolish this short practice. Its nonsense

Its not. How else would you know fraudlent companies?

ElectronicMoney:
Telecoms companies can never replace banks in the economy of a country

Ask your self first what is banking. Then you would realize that most of their services can be replicated by tech companies

yom2:
take for instance clover has traded nearly 500m in 2days yet share outstanding is around 140m . on NSE if a ticker trades half of its outstanding share its enough to send it galloping for months

Clover has a very high short interest ratio @ 150%. Its one of the most shorted stocks due to SEC investigation from a report from Hindenburg research. Reddittors are trying to squeeze the shorts

yom2:
How could a stock have only 159m share outstanding and yet be trading over 300m in a day. Where does the extra shares come from? I smell some lrregularity

Hmm. What share? Penny stock?

Are you sure its not the short interest? Cos the % naked shares is almost 90%. Thats way too much

emmanuelewumi:
Depends on what they have in their portfolio, Abacus Money Market Fund is 2.98% on Friday 16th April 2021


Rate will soon go up with most of the Money Market Funds as they buy 364 days Treasury Bills Investments that should get to 10% by the next auction

But with food inflation @ 23%, and core inflation @ 17 -18%, TBs would not look attractive for a long time to come

This is what you get when you allow Americans. People who have no respect for institutions and culture and believe that everything is money. Thats why they are in debt. Families and marriage destroyed. Because they put money ahead of values.

Felabrity:
All these ones na stupid threats

World cup will crumble without these top players

Only FIFA can and should decide who play for the competition


UEFA should focus on their obsolete competitions

Which player woukd risk not going to World Cup because of Yeye super league. Is it Messi or Ronaldo that see the next world cup as their last chance?

ositadima1:


After the youths started destroying their collective properties and looting one another during the End SARS standdown/protest, that was when I knew the Nigerian youth needed Jesus.

Even after SARS was desolved, they kept going. When asked you did here how they were fighting for all the injustices in Nigeria. Wasn't very clever though, every riot has it's own agenda, that one was end SARS. If you wanted to fight for some other reasons like corruption in high places the reasonable thing to do was to stop and resume a fresh set of protest with a clear agenda and not mix things.

Now, they have blown their credibility, it will be some time before they are taken seriously again.

Still brings us back to my earlier statement. Tge reason why the protest fizzled out was because there was no clear ledership vis-a-vis institution. But again protests can be hijacked. Its simplistic to write off the youths because of the activites of hooligans paid to discredit the protest. But that na another topic for another thread and another day.

oludy:
Thanks for the heads up. How we begin to position?

I learnt that the minimum amount to bid is $200,000 at the primary auction. How true is this?

If true, how can interested investors with lower than $200,000 take advantage?

How does the euro bond auction works? What would be required of a would-be investor?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge sharing.

You can invest in dollar fund with banks and asset managers with as low as 1k. Stanbic has a dollar fund. I think ARM has too.

Donbrig:
Don't leave God out of anything my brother, He is the essence of everything we do in life. Yes, it is very discouraging to see nations who don't even believe in God or go to church prosper more than those that strongly believe in Him. But who are we to judge, the matter dey tire everybody sha.

Japan is even good, at least they welcome and tolerate other religion. China is worse, they don't even want to see church with their eyes or any religious crusaders in their country, yet, same Chinese are prospering more than other folks. Life nor banlance at all.

Christianity or religion is not a yard stick for economic prosperity. There are divine laws which have been put in place, which even God himself subjects himself too. Every action begets an equal and opposite reaction. God has already told us that if you do A, then you should expect B. If yiu do C you should expect D. If we fully understand the consequences of our actions, then we would make better decisions. Nigerians are not even thinking of consequences because we belive God is always there for us, as if God is a Nigerian.

Donbrig:
We have lots of big problems, but don't write off Nigeria yet, Nigeria is like an apple in God's eyes. We have survived so many challenges many thought impossible to survive, Nigera will bounce back, we just have to work harder and do the right things as quickly as practicable.

Even world bank and other international institutions couldn't believe how fast we exited recession. God is indeed listening to millions of Nigerians praying every day for a better Nigeria, but we have to move beyond prayers and act swiftly, we are already on the edge and very little time is left to rescue the country.

Even though our hopes are dashed and dreams shattered, we still hope for a better Nigeria.

Boss abeg leave God for this matter. Japan has the highest number of atheists.

What is more appalling is seeing 'men' here saying he should endure because the wife is the one providing. A man already subjecting himself because his wife provides. I wonder what type of fathers raised these people

CHoccolaTE:
Very good for your stupid friend.

Men these days are so lazy and useless. You just want to sit at home being a liability then your wife will be feeding you, paying bills, submitting to you and be loyal 100%

Selfish idiots. Tell your friend to stop being a lazy fool and go and hustle. Bible mandated husbands to be providers. Thanks

Then why not leave the house and continue your fuckkery outside? Aince she has money let her leave the home then. You want to eat your cake and have it, fucking outside and maintaing the prestige that comes with being married. Vipers

pacespot:
The worst thing that can happen to a man is to find yourself in a financial mess after marriage especially if you don't have an understanding partner. If both of you don't have any issues between you yet, I think that is a simple decision to make, but if you already have kids together, I will advise you take precautions to keep off her escapades for now, depending on your rapport with her, you can confront her with the allegation, but be warned that this can lead to more troubles since you are not the one footing the bills, it is like you're stranded in the marriage for now. Once you're able to find your way out of your financial woes, then you can call her bullsh*t. We are really in a materialistic world that money is the only confidant one can rely on now, not even a partner, even your family can betray you. But if you can find a way to be self-reliant a little bit, then that is a good start to take back control of your life.

So because the woman is providing he should lose his sense as a man? He should swallow shit because a woman he kept in his house is providing for him. Lord have mercy

DrFunmisticGlow:
women learnt it from men. Stop all this wailing.

Let the man op's adult male friend leave the woman and fend for himself.

Or is he that poor that his pride has gone to the gutter?

He is asking jamb question because he cannot put food on his table and has to beg his adulterous wife for pocket money. If he knows he cannot fend for himself, let him carry his cross and greet his wife husband

Women learnt it from men? So men werw doing it with cows before women came along

Parental failure is only a subset or larger societal failure. When Chairman Mao wanted to reorientate China, Children were encourged to report their parents if they suspected they were corrupt. That same kid you have given good values would go into the larger society which is corrupt.

ahiboilandgas:
very true .how do they benefit from the tribal argument they allow to fester

Because such threads generate more comments. The same thing plays out in the broader society. Thats why the winner of BBN takes home N80m, meanwhile the winner of Cowbell mathematics no even see N5m.

Yet again, while it is conveninent and easy to blame the youths, we forget the role of the older generation in perpetuating this mess. Obasanjo, Gowon, Buhari et al were all in their 30s when they tasted power. If the older generation did not pass baton of power they would not have had such opportunity. However, it has gotten to their turn and they have sat tight and destroyed social institutions. They have made sure that those who have made it are beneficiaries of the system which would make change almost impossible. I remember vividly that during the endsars protest, some people here were complaning how it was affecting their biz. And yet we would always blame the youth.

ahiboilandgas:
how do we create new platforms .notting is impossible. Can we reorient 1m Nairaland users

This is actually my grouse with Nairaland. No innovation or new feature has been adfed to this site sincw its inception. Still the same yser interface while the like of Facebook and Twiyter are evolving.

Nairaland has failed to realize its role in reorientating the nigerian youth. This is the 5th or 6th most popukar site visited by Nigerians, yet they have failed to realize that this site is actually like an embassy that can sell a positive image of Nigeria to Nigerians. Instead the moderators are happy to allow vile tribal arguments and meaningless topics to grace the front page because they are also beneficiaries of a broken system.

ahiboilandgas:
how do we create new platforms .notting is impossible. Can we reorient 1m Nairaland users

Let us go back to our secondary schools and universities. Thise are the best placea to sow seeds of change. We don't need campus fellowship but critical groups Set up platforms and groups which would sensitize them. Bring back debate clubs, science clubs, interactive clubs.

Bring back subjects like history so that people would know where they are going to because they understand where they are coming from. Instil a sense of self confidence in the youths not making a whole deprtment wear school uniforms in the name of departmental code.

Once these seeds have been planted, its only a matter of time that it would transcend to the wider society

ahiboilandgas:
Going forward Nigerians host million of uninform people that have zero critical thinking ability and are voters .a shoe shinner has the same voting right with the professor of metaphysics and sadly the shoe shinner are in Majority and more dedicated voters .other that have the critical thinking ability trained in Nigeria universities are deploying it to analyse big brother Nigeria (over 50m votes ) following Bob risky handle and doing yahoo yahoo and slaying on Instagram. While there fire on the mountain. Voters education is the most important thing to halt his mismatch. One the shoe shinner is made to understand the dangers of voting based on emotions like he already roasting now with huge insecurity,33 percent unemployment etc he will have a rethink

The thing is that the institutions and platforms which would bring about the crop of young leaders we need are non existent. Where is NANS? Where is the NLC? NANS was among the pressure groups that sat for the 1979 constitution. But these umbrellas are no longer existent, so definetely the youth would be roaming about like sheep.

I am even of the strong opinion that all these twitter influnecers and programs like BBN are projected to distract the youth. But we are not even thinking that far
