InvestmentRe: Real Estate Or Shares: Which Is Better? by akintun: 10:27pm On Mar 01, 2013
D best is to build rental apartments. D returns are far better than interest on deposit and investment funds. D dividend yield on d stock xchange is pretty small, and u are not even sure of selling ur stocks when u want to because of d lack of liquidity on d Nig stock xchange.

InvestmentRe: Financial Lessons We Can Learn From Warren Buffet by akintun: 10:10pm On Feb 28, 2013
Buffet had money and education. He used d premium from his insurance company to invest, and not everyone has dat type of opportunity. I believe those in his line of business can learn from him.
InvestmentRe: Which Nigerian Stocks Have You Bought Or Sold? by akintun: 9:46pm On Feb 28, 2013
I don't buy shares again, but I hope to resume buying latter. I think d shares of companies like NB and Nestlé are currently over-valued because dey are save stocks to hold. Pension funds and international investors would most likely flood these shares. Maybe investors feel dat d gov would solve d problem of bad roads and security. My feeling is dat their reduction in cost is dependent on d situation in Nigeria.

InvestmentRe: Zenith Bank Will Increase Dividend By 30% To N1.50 Per Share by akintun: 8:25pm On Feb 27, 2013
Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't this insider information... same one that is a crime? It's not like it's proposed dividend.

I think it is only an inside information if u use d information to make profit, but I doubt anyone can be prosecuted 4 inside information, becos NL is a public forum.

I think anyone investing 10million in ur business would have a great idea about allocation of shares.
CelebritiesRe: You Must Get A Degree"- Davido's Father Insists by akintun: 4:11pm On Feb 27, 2013
Education requires a lot of commitment. I doubt david can commit to studying. We're now in a world were formal education as we have known it is becoming less and less important especially in the arts, creative and world of inventions. How many university professors can tutor a young person to mainstream stardom. Did David Guetta go to school? Did Michael Jackson go to school? Did Britney Spears go to school. Did Bill Gates or Steve Jobs complete their programs even tho they were most definitely smart enuff to finish with first class. Rather than waste money on building a faculty in a formal system, encourage the guy to get trained in MUSON centre, or a dance school etc. Or be tutored by notable producers.
PS: I'm an academic and I believe formal education still has its uses in some setting but not too much in arts and talents.


Bill Gate first class yes, but Steve jobs would have made a pass.
PoliticsRe: FIRS Boss: North Accuses Okonjo-iweala Of Ethnicity by akintun: 10:14am On Feb 27, 2013
Now dat d former chairman of FIRS has shown dat there is money in d corporation, many individuals would play dirty politics to get their people there. I wonder why d impressive Edo born former chairman of d agency does not receive good media coverage like other former DG's of less impressive agencies dat bribe media men.

I'm good, luv?? What's poppington??

Nothing much. Just chilling.
Missed u

@topic we have to remember that for the most part, they are judging these countries according to western standards. Sure there are ppl suffering in these countries but if,u ask some americans, america is equally miserable. Its all about perspective and 9 times out of 10, western countries create/cosign to these "top miserable nations list" to convince themselves that their lifestyles are top knotch. Sure we may not have tribal or political violence in america but there are still iranians or even yemeni ppl who are living far more comfortably than a lot of americans.

By far d most sensible post on dis topic.
TravelRe: Ever Been Tortured Abroad? Share Ur Stories by akintun: 4:32pm On Feb 23, 2013
D Americans know dat wen d man gets to Nigeria, American defenders would do anything to discredit d man story by attacking his dubious character. Chei dis Americans get sense nobi small ooooooooooo. Back to d topic, I was told by a man who went to Europe illegally, how he was stripped naked and tortured in d uk b4 he was deported. He said dat it occurred in d 80's.
FamilyRe: Divorcing...need Ur Advice Desperately by akintun: 1:27am On Feb 21, 2013
In Nigeria d woman gets d young children no matter d situation, so u would most likely get custody of ur kids.
CelebritiesRe: Rich People Who Feared Giving Their Children Money by akintun: 1:14am On Feb 21, 2013
Many of d people u mentioned are actually going to give their children billions. D inheritance tax is pretty high, so they would look 4 ways to make sure dat their children get their money with minimum tax. Buffet has already transferred billions to his children, and his son who is a college dropout would be d figure head chairman of his company. Ted turner inherited his father company, Steve Jobs left his wife in control of his money, and Bill Gate would leave a few billions 4 his children.

PoliticsRe: NBS: NIGERIA GDP FELL FROM 7.43 TO 6.61 In 2012, ECONOMY SHRINK BY 0.68% In 2012 by akintun: 10:23am On Feb 20, 2013
akintun: D GDP shows dat we are still in recession. A GDP growth of 6.6% is bad 4 a country like china talkless of Nigeria. Any growth dat is less than 15% is rubbish.
Do you realise that only 3 countries out of the 217 on earth have a GDP growth rate of 15% or more?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_real_GDP_growth_rate_(latest_year)

Considering where we are as a nation, we need nothing less than a GDP growth rate of 15%. Developed countries need just a positive growth rate while depressed countries like Nigeria need massive growth rate.
PetsRe: My Boss Spends Twice My Salary On Dog Food by akintun: 10:16am On Feb 20, 2013
A thief ( politician) pays his cook half of wat he uses to feed his dog and people are supporting d thief. If he paid his cook well, then it wouldn't have been a problem. People should differentiate btw d rich and d thieves.

PoliticsRe: 43 Spare Parts’ Shops, Closed & Traders Arrested In Lagos by akintun: 1:13am On Feb 14, 2013
Fashola is actually a Lagosian from his mother side. Recently, I was forced by d court to pay a 50,000 naira environmental Levi to d local gov, despite paying d same Levi to d state gov. I pay all form of Levi, and I don't and can't refer to Fashola as a tribalist becos am from d same tribe. I have stayed abroad b4 and I know 4 sure dat d effective tax rate i pay in Lagos state is still far lower than wat I was paying in d UK.
PoliticsRe: 43 Spare Parts’ Shops, Closed & Traders Arrested In Lagos by akintun: 12:40am On Feb 14, 2013
It is wrong 4 foreign based Nigerians to comment on wat dey know nothing about. I have seen Fashola driving Yoruba traders from places like mushin and oshodi, and at d same time doing nothing to Igbo traders at nearby Ladipo despite d fact dat both d Igbo and Yoruba traders cause big problems 4 d gov in terms of developing d state infrastructure. I have d feeling dat Fashola is scared of been labelled a tribalist, and dat is why most Igbo business areas are spared of d displacement been melted out to Yoruba traders. Fashola would soon drive away d Yoruba traders at Ikorodu, and I'm sure nobody would call him tribalist, but wen he eventually does d same at Alaba, he would be labelled a tribalist by Igbo's.

Thank God today has arrived. I won't blame Ghanians if dey start abusing Nigerians and Nigeria if things don't go our way today. Yesterday abuse of Ghanians during their game was stupid, pathetic, and below d belt.
