Kindly advise.

Leobankx:
Well you've the right to say this, you were one of the very few elder statesman who saw this coming and warned them.

mekleelex200:
This is disgusting and to the extreme, I support some policies of Trump but this one is over the roof.

When I see people especially Nigeria with small mind and zero knowledge of history support Trump it turns my stomach. Trump is also an Immigrant, his great grand father immigrated to US in 19th century from Germany.

The parents what able to build their wealth in the land of opportunity and freedom. It is very sad because what is the difference between an immigrant from 19th century, 20th century and 21st century.

Note everyone in America apart from the Native American or the Red Indians are immigrants.

Yorubas is taking over the world! There is one small tribe in Nigeria that hate themselves just because they could not attain the height and standard Yorubas have set for themselves! THANK GOD I’M YORUBA! if I come another world I will pick Yoruba over every other tribes!

Kids are really differently built humans by God.
They just lost a parent and they are still smiling,laughing and playing computer games on phone.
While the adults are wailing and rolling on the floor,you see the kids keeping their self busy by playing.
It's a different world most kids live in.

EmperorCaesar:

Google search the top 10 richest Yoruba men and check who they are married to. They all married Yoruba women




That aside, Its not even about Igbo women, its more about Yoruba men


Yoruba men are the most liberal among all Nigerian men. They tend to intermarry either locally or internationally than men from other tribes

Its only more common with Igbo women because Igbo are a major group, hence, have more populations/more women populations that other tribes

There's been two Nigerian President of Yoruba origin, None married igbo. in fact, none married from the SW

Again, its more about the liberalism of Yoruba men

Endinjustice:


Look where China is today, that because they execute corrupt public holders...... But in Nigeria they're rewarded with big titles and juicy posts.

Congrats321:
Can a Nigerian minister of petroleum award a contract without NNPC input?
Can't you even attempt to answer that question.?

Oga what foolish point are you trying to make at the moment, that NNPC officials were part of her corruption?

Who is arguing with you on that one. The point remains she was the main beneficiary and ringleader of the corruption of NNPC and everyone was dancing to her tune.

Here are different instances where NNPC officials admitted they were doing things that made no sense and it was because they were instructed by Madam Minister to do so.

In particular take note of this quote from a whole GM in NNPC (GM turned to houseboy/dispatch rider

Congrats321:
You have no brains to answer any of my questions because you a stark ignorant of the process. It's you who should pity your self.

Congrats321:
In your stupidity Diezani single handedly gave Aluko the contract as minister without NNPC input? Can ministers award contracts? Do you think you are intelligent?

blackboy:
This is a good reply. Nigerian media and fake news. Lazy journalism. I can now imagine all the loot linked to Abacha maybe there is more to it or just using his name .

seunmsg:
Kudos to former President Buhari for agreeing to appear as a witness for Nigeria at the ongoing arbitration hearing over the fraudulent power contract that was awarded by Obasanjo in 2003. That is a true definition of patriotism. This explains the constant visit of the Attorney General to Daura in the last three months. We won against P&ID scam put together by the Jonathan administration, we will win against Sunrise power scam.

hush15:
The revised formula should be rejected because it favors the north most. 50% equality will be shared equally. Every state will get same amount. The 30% derivative will be shared based on generation and the last 20% will be based on population and we know those states with the big population. That population alone, the north will get more than any state. 30% derivative will only be the break even point. The east and a few of west will probably suffer if I might say.

40 40 20 should make more sense so states can put on their thinking cap

The glamorous world of professional football often paints a picture of immense wealth and luxury.

However, the reality for many players is a stark contrast, with financial mismanagement, extravagant lifestyles, and unforeseen circumstances leading to devastating financial ruin.

This thread explores the unfortunate cases of several high-profile footballers who, despite earning millions, found themselves facing bankruptcy and financial hardship.

Ronaldinho Gaúcho: The Brazilian magician, once a global icon, was shockingly found to have only €5 in his bank account in 2020. He was even arrested and detained for entering Paraguay with a fake passport. This incident highlighted a pattern of financial mismanagement and alleged fraud.

Taribo West: The flamboyant Nigerian defender, known for his eccentric hairstyles, amassed considerable wealth during his career with top European clubs. However, he reportedly lost millions through ill-advised investments and extravagant spending. He has since embraced a new life as a pastor.

Celestine Babayaro: The former Chelsea and Newcastle left-back faced severe financial difficulties in 2011, with creditors relentlessly pursuing him for unpaid debts. This situation serves as a stark reminder of the precarious financial situations many footballers face after retirement.

Eric Djemba Djemba: The former Manchester United midfielder declared bankruptcy in 2007. Despite earning significant sums, he struggled to manage his finances, with numerous loans and extravagant spending draining his resources.

John Arne Riise: The Norwegian full-back, known for his powerful left foot, also faced bankruptcy in 2007 due to failed business ventures, including a hotel. This highlights the risks associated with diversifying investments outside of football.

Diego Maradona: The legendary Argentine, arguably one of the greatest footballers of all time, faced bankruptcy in 2009 due to significant unpaid taxes from his time at Napoli. This case underscores the importance of sound financial planning and tax management.

David James: The former England goalkeeper experienced a dramatic fall from grace, losing much of his fortune after a divorce. He was forced to auction off personal belongings to make ends meet, a humbling experience for a player who once enjoyed a life of luxury.

Royston Drenthe: The former Real Madrid winger filed for bankruptcy in 2022, revealing staggering losses of over £3.2 million. His story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of impulsive spending and poor financial decisions.

Asamoah Gyan: The Ghanaian striker, once one of Africa's highest-paid footballers, declared he had only £600 in his bank account during a divorce proceeding. He also faced challenges due to assets being held in his brother's name, complicating the financial settlement.

Emmanuel Eboue: The former Arsenal and Galatasaray defender suffered a tragic fall from grace. He lost all his assets to his wife after a divorce, as he unknowingly signed documents that transferred ownership to her. This heartbreaking case highlights the importance of legal and financial counsel when navigating personal and marital matters.

Lessons to be Learned:

These cases underscore the importance of:

Financial education and literacy: Players need access to quality financial advice and education to make informed decisions about their earnings.

Sound financial planning and management: Diversification of investments, prudent spending habits, and tax planning are crucial for long-term financial security.

Professional financial guidance: Engaging with qualified financial advisors can help players navigate complex financial situations and make informed investment decisions.

Protecting assets and income: Players should ensure their assets are properly protected and that they have adequate insurance coverage.

While these cases highlight the unfortunate realities faced by some footballers, they also serve as valuable lessons for aspiring and current players.

By prioritizing financial education and making informed decisions, players can safeguard their future and avoid the pitfalls that have led to financial ruin for others.

The way people jump to conclusion on social media is amazing. So, by asking whether the bank should have made the due dilligence it did open to all Nigerians on the pages of newspapers made you to conclude that I never worked in a financial institution. Wonderful! Is that how it is done where you work?

Just for your information, the all round experience I had in banking from Internal Control to Banking Operations and Marketing all above BO level to a humble extent qualifies me to speak on a topic like this.

If you are a Messi somewhere, congratulations to you.

I rest my case with you.

ppogba:
I do have so. much respect for your views on topics here on Nairaland but on this particular one, there are questions you asked here that are disappointing.

1. On your second question about the experience of the principal person in Oil and gas or hydrocarbon, why not ask about the experience Damgote had in the oil refining business before delving into it or even before banks advanced him money. Or perhaps, the refinery is free of bank loans. Better still, why not ask about Tinubu ' s experience before setting up TVC? What experience did Otedola have in banking before mopping up shares with rhe aim of becoming FBN chairman?

2. What due dilligence did the bank do? Wonderful.! So, you expect FBN to occupy newspaper pages with what they did as per the dilligence before you can be convinced that they did due dilligence?

Wirh all due respect, you will do. well to avail yourself and educate yourself about the proceess and procedures. that loan requests through before be granted. We are talking about millions of dollars in loans here for heavens sake.

Make yoi dey relax atimes, Oga.
