SportsRe: Okagbare Finishes Second At Shanghai Diamond-League 100M by akintun: 11:28am On May 19, 2013
She should 4get about d long jump, and focus on d sprints. I believe she can get a silver or a bronze at d world champ. A bronze in d 200m is also a possibility. D problem she has is dat d 100m and long jump events are d most competitive events in athletics, and those events have very strong athletes competing.
InvestmentRe: SEC Suspends Vision Trusts And AIMS For Fraudulent Acts by akintun: 10:40am On May 18, 2013
Dis shows dat SEC are just useless. Giving out suspension 4 something dat any serious regulator would be pushing 4 criminal prosecution . Even if dey don't file 4 prosecution , I don't understand why dey can't fine dis firms heavily.

InvestmentRe: Nigerian Stocks That Make You Happy All The Time by akintun: 11:47pm On May 04, 2013
you lie. I bought when it was cheap(ecobank) . Back then I had money, but no time to spend it. I wasn't interested in their bonus or dividends, I only invested because its going to take time to get cash back and that would make me not want to depend on it for something that is not very important and planned. But now, lost everything.Not everybody go for profit. I did for safe keeping and there is not safe. Esp NSE.

Nigeria is not d only country where people loss money in d stock xchange. D problem with NSE is d lack of liquidity and good regulation . SEC are just useless . I have not seen or heard dat they are investigating people 4 insider trading.

D tax lacks long term thinking. A benefit tax on everyone would take care of dis and much more.
InvestmentRe: Dividend Stocks Vs Non-Dividend Stocks by akintun: 9:16pm On Apr 21, 2013
I think dat it is unwise 4 a new company in an untapped industry to pay dividend, when it can use d money to expand and improve operations dat would be beneficial to shareholders in d future. I was reading thru d analysis of companies in d NSE in d other thread,and d OP wrote about a company in d fast food sector dat paid out a dividend of about 300million during its first year of listing, and now d company share price has gone down to 50k. Such company should have focused more on improving its operations instead of paying out unsustainable dividend.

InvestmentRe: Analysis Of Results Of Companies On The Nigerian Stock Exchange by akintun: 10:01am On Apr 06, 2013
This is where i srruggle with the fact that nestle and nigerian breweries are selling at p/e's of 28. As their growth rate is barely 20%. Whereas the banks have growth rates of more than 50%. Surely there has to be a price correction for the nestle, cadbury and the likes. Or am i too pessimistic??

I personally would prefer a low p/e ratio 4 banks, becos we don't know d actual truth about their bad loans. I believe d banks are inherently risky. One day d madness of investiing large sums of money in gov bonds and TB would reduce, and when dis stops everyone go answer him papa name.
PoliticsRe: Akunyili Supports Death Penalty For Corruption by akintun: 12:24pm On Apr 04, 2013
She should be d first to face d death penalty. She was secretly pardoned by Obansanjo after stealing large amount of money. I wonder how a Nafdac DG could afford multi-million dollars worth of properties in Ikoyi, and she was a lecturer b4 becoming d DG.
TV/MoviesRe: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by akintun: 9:54pm On Apr 03, 2013
I downloaded d S3e1 from projectTV, and it took me about 30min to download it. I was expecting d Stark boy to die, but it did not happen. It was actually a little bit dry, but every Monday morning, I would surely be downloading it. HBO or time Warner no fit arrest me 4 naija.
SportsRe: Celestine Babayaro Is Bankrupt, Can You Lend A Hand? by akintun: 11:59pm On Mar 19, 2013
I saw his name on d list of bankrupt former footballers on d bbc. John Barnes dat we see on SS was also on d list, and d guy doesn't look bankrupt to me. D truth is dat babayaro would be ok, we should be thinking and trying to help d Nigerians dat live on less than one dollar a day.
ProgrammingRe: FG Pays N81.7bn On Customs Software by akintun: 12:14pm On Mar 19, 2013
D ASYCUDA system has been in existence since d 90's, and dat implies dat d contract would most likely be more Dan wat we are been told. Maybe d upgrade was from 2006.
CareerRe: Aero Contractors Sacks 95% Of Workers (with Pictures Of Staff Protest Today) by akintun: 1:10am On Mar 19, 2013
Managing an airline company is one of d most difficult job in d world. U just have to look at d sector worldwide to understand how difficult it is to manage an airline company. Virgin and other big airlines are facing real difficulties, and d airline company of an Indian billionaire just declared bankruptcy. D complain from d workers are similar to d complain we usually hear from BAE workers.
PoliticsRe: Bayelsa, Six Other States Fail Dmo’s Solvency Test: by akintun: 4:34pm On Mar 18, 2013
D method d DMO is using does not actually make sense when u consider dat many states make a lot of income from federal allocation . Comparing debt to total revenue is a more sensible method.
PoliticsRe: Federal Presence in SE Is Greater Than SW Why The Grumbling ? by akintun: 11:51pm On Mar 17, 2013
Abagworo: The entire Nigeria lacks federal presence but Igbos complain most because they've been unfortunate. Everything in Nigeria is located in Abuja and Lagos so if you subtract Lagos from Yoruba and Abuja from North, then every other place is the same. Port Harcourt does not even have much federal presence either.
Lagos was the federal capital and does not count as Western Region .
The western Region is even more neglected than the Old Eastern Region. So it is Not only Ibos Neglected but the old Eastern Region(Enugu) seems to have a much better deal than The old Western region(Ibadan)


Actually a large part of present day Lagos was part of d western region. Even d whole of Ikeja up to ilupeju was part of d western region

SportsAway Goal Rule During Extra Time Is Rubbish by akintun(op): 4:21pm On Mar 15, 2013
D away goal rule should be abolished during extra time or after a two legged affair, d game should go straight to penalties. It was as if inter Milan were robbed yesterday night. How can a team overcome a 3 nil deficit and still go out on a stupid away goal during extra time.

SportsRe: African Footballers That Never Won Apoty Award by akintun: 2:29pm On Mar 09, 2013
I think it should have been given to Okocha at least once. he deserved it at some point.

I've noticed that in Africa, anyone other than strikers are under-appreciated.
(Quote) (Report) (Like)


Okocha was a great African player, but d truth is dat those dat won it during his time were better dat year. I can remember watching d 1998 world cup and Mustapha Hadji was just head and shoulder above every other African player at dat world cup.

PoliticsRe: Omotosho Power Plant Ready For Commissioning by akintun: 1:21am On Mar 08, 2013
We need about 20 more of those power plants immediately . Kudos' to ObJ 4 initiating d project ( it actually takes time to plan and build power plants), but d biggest kudos' must be given to GEJ 4 re-starting d project after Yaradua stopped it. Those abusing OBJ must realize dat he built Nigeria last power plant when he was d Military head of state. I wonder wat Buhari and co were doing when dey were president. If dey had initiated d building of power plants, maybe OBJ would have completed it during his tenure.

InvestmentRe: How To Invest In Federal Government Bonds by akintun: 10:36pm On Mar 01, 2013
Nig gov bonds are good and d returns are pretty high 4 a supposed risk free investment. D economy will keep suffering if gov keeps chucking out dis high yield bonds. Banks, investment houses, and high network individuals are making a kill. D OP just told us dat GTB issued their bond at 8.5%, which has a lower return than Nig gov bond. This is madness and should not be allowed to happen. Wat stops GTB from investing all d money raised on gov bonds at 13%.
