Hmmm

Now I understand the difference between a man who borrowed from bank to finance his project and another one who depends on other people’s gift and offering to finance his project.

Dangote’s worth is $14billion while the cost of Dangote’s refinery is about $19billion

Based on the full article, I don't think it applies to business men (like Dangote) because they aren't doing big boy around town, and they are not using the loans to purchase liabilities. Instead, they are investing with it.

---

As for the cost of Dangote refinery, I don't know of banks that borrow people more money than their collateral sha. Maybe they exist and I just don't know.

But, as at when Dangote started his refinery, the cost was supposed to be $8billion (I saw it in newspapers then). I don't know if they changed the initial plan for the cost to have jumped so high, or maybe it's because of inflation.

But, I think the $19billion tag placed on the refinery might be to avoid questioning on the $3.2billion NNPC paid for 20% stake.

Let's not also forget FG sells forex to Dangote at a cheaper rate because of the refinery. So, it might as well be to get much more forex out at a cheaper rate.

What I'm saying is that, it might not cost up to the $19billion price tag. The price could have been inflated for several reasons.

To those who don't know, Russia puts more effort into the ISS than the US and often flies US astronauts to the ISS and brings them back.

Now, Russia is ending all working relationships between them on the ISS, which means the US and their NATO allies can no longer get to the ISS and do their part to keep the ISS in orbit.

So Russia is telling them to find a way to get themselves up there to do their own part of the deal to keep the ISS up there.

Are you sure it's this same Article you read?

Also, your assertions that US and NATO can't reach ISS again is completely false. SpaceX has been taking cargoes and humans to space for years now.

They started off with Cargoes, and during Trump's time, started taking humans there too.

remember the battle of stalingrad , the Russian troops that died , at the end the Germans gave up , there will be more. But these Russians they will not give up

The Russian - Finland war is another example.

PSG is a very Useless team.

They gifted Madrid those goals with poor defending.

They were in control, and just threw everything out the window.

Very useless club and players.

Igbofam:
This was a totally different situation. It was a party issue based on who the valid candidate was and not an issue of cross carpeting

But the issue shows that votes belong to the party - not individuals.

If Votes belong to individuals, the other guys votes in the election couldn't have been awarded to Amaechi.

Also, Amaechi's tenure would have expired 4 years after he was sworn in (and not 4 years since the original guy was sworn in).

Igbofam:
PDP and Judicial rascality. How can you expect a court to remove a governor who was voted by the people and not by the Party?

Indeed the party is just the vehicle through which he rode to power but the votes were given to him as an individual which is why even Inec when presenting his certificate of return has his name on it as the winner and not that of the Party.

PDP keeps showing how desperation can make one act like a court Jester and a fool

What of Amaechi's case when he became governor in 2007?

Election was already completed, and the PDP candidate sworn in.

5 months later, the supreme court ruled that Amaechi is the original candidate of the PDP, and he should be sworn in instead.

Also, Amaechi's tenure expired 4 years after the initial guy was sworn in (not 4 years after he was sworn in).

If Votes belong to individuals (and not party), how can this happen?

Legendrysailor:
Good day nairalanders, pls I opened a first bank savings account with my phone using my bvn I want to know if the account is valid, or do I need to go to a first bank branch. Normally first bank ask for certain requirements to open a savings account for example nepa bill, account opening cash and means of identification but dis requirements wia not asked of me during d online registration. Pls I need a response is really urgent

Deposit small money in the account and try to withdraw it afterwards.


If you can withdraw it, then the account is valid (although might be limited).

If you can't withdraw it, then you need to go to bank

In everything she said, only the first two is valid.

For the 3rd to 5th point, they want women to be served everything on a platter of Gold.

This reminds me of elections in my Alma Mater.

Males cannot contest for VP positions because it's reserved strictly for ladies, but females can contest for president sit.

This has made it possible to have Female President / Female VP combination, meanwhile, it's impossible to have male president/ male VP combination - because males can't contest for VP.

If ladies want a position, they should contest for it, they shouldn't be expecting everything to be given to them on a platter.

As for her last point, Nigerians in diaspora who wants to vote should fly back to Nigeria to do so. You can't be enjoying good life in UK, and be voting for evil people for us.

Pierocash:
A world without USA would have been a better place to live.

Are you sure? Because many of the things you enjoy today (that makes life easier for you), were either invented or discovered by the US, or their western partners.

So, if we remove all US inventions, alongside that of their western partners, do you think your statement will be valid?

Aufbauh:
It is also asserted that the worst side of democracy is better than any form of military rule.
However I feel that Nigeria in particular and Africa in general still need the military rule cus of the peculiarity of our politicians.

No be the military rule put us for this mess we dey?

Na military cancel the regional government we dey run before, come concentrate power for Centre.

Na military destroy education, by taking over schools and colleges from missionaries.

Na military introduce Federal Character, thereby giving preference to quota system over competence.

I can go on and on. The destruction the military started is what put us in this mess.

Should I also state that since we return to Democracy in 1999, 2 of our Presidents (15years combined) have been from the military?


No say this kind of stuffs again oo.

Lol

Check your Data usage in Settings => Network settings => The SIM

You'll see the list of apps using data, and the quantity of data they have used over a 30 days period.

The apps using your data might be your Launcher, or any other apps that keeps running.

However, If the data usage shown in your settings is far less than what Airtel have deducted, then Airtel is stealing from you.

This is a developed country, they’ll eventually conquer it, even the Ukrainian president knows this. This war is barely 4 days old. What more do u want??

Yeah, Russia can win, because they have the numerical advantage Not because they have the better millitary.

The Finland - Russia war comes to mind. Despite over 300,000 Russian casualties, Russia still kept throwing men forward, overwhelming the Finnish people.

Finland eventually signed a treaty with them sha, and I'm guessing that's probably what will end this war.

Oogway:
I hope people understand that this is the country’s capital were all their military resources is concentrated, there’s no country we’re this would be achieved so easily. All of Ukraine military resources is concentrated here and once this city is conquered the war is over. So it’s just a minor setback. Even during the world wars it took several days to break through Berlin even when Hitler was losing on all grounds

What of Kharkiv, The second largest city?

Why haven't Russian taken over despite fighting for it for days now?

chucksbonda:
I am suspecting the west has started arming Ukraine side secretly even with Intel's, am sorry this is gonna be a long drive for putin

It's openly, not secretly.

Go to twitter.

Poland, Netherlands and some other countries already donated good weapons to Ukraine.

NATO are also planning to donate weapons too.

I dont get the hype Belsa get, he havent won anything major in his career.

Because he hasn't coached any major team.

A coach is as good as his players.

Just40:
As if you don't know the play book of the US....

How do you think they forcing Germany to host forces and missiles despite Germany refusal or how do you think they are trying to Compel Germany to remove Russia from SWIFT despite the fact that it will hurt the German economy more than Russia?

Yes I know that there are standard requirements for NATO with Ukraine doesn't meet but Russia will not wait for the day that Ukraine finally meet them.

It this point Where Russia feel like it Security is threatened... There's not going to be peace in Europe until those element are removed and it doesn't matter who is in NaTO or not.

You should go and read the Russians security demands. The Russians are currently using the Madman doctrine right now.

They will match on Romania and threaten the world with nuclear war by threatening New York and London. You think the US will go to Nuclear war over Romania to watch New York in flames?
The mad man Schwab at Davos and his Davos crowd who are ruling the western world in their current craziness will not want that.

Remember the Cuban missile crisis..? The world is on a similar path.


If you don't know what happened in 2014, atleast go and read about it and stop asking questions that does not relate.

SMH for you.

"US playbook" indeed.

I hope EFCC and ICPC will act sha.

Awarding contracts to his son is actually illegal.

Both the son and the father needs to be jailed.

abobote:
Like seriously? Giving a contract of billions to his son. Billions just for an IDP camp. Corruption runs in that family

It's "millions", not "billions".

Billions has 10 - 12 digits before decimal point.

Just40:
The reason is very simple ..
The US is compelling them to do it or face sanctions..

US is compelling Ukraine to join NATO, or face sanctions? WTF did you get this from?

Did you even know there are standard requirements to join NATO and Ukraine does not currently meet those requirements?

While most of those decisions does not benefit any of those countries militarily ...

It gives them a sense of protection.

If Georgia was part of NATO, will Russia invade them in 2008?

If Ukraine is already part of NATO, will Russia invade them now?

If Finland is already part of NATO, will Russia be threatening them now?

The US purposely change the rules based system to overthrow Ukraine legitimate govt and install a puppet that will allow them place missiles on Ukrainian soil just like they've done in Poland and Romania... In most cases, Russia have redrawn untill now when they drew the red line.

How did US overthrow the legitimate government?

Did US force the Ukrainian parliament to vote for impeachment?

Did you even know the vote was Unanimous, as even the president's party members didn't vote for him to remain in office? As in, he didn't even have a single vote.

Or is it the US fault that he failed to properly manage the many months of protests that eventually became bloody and led to his impeachment?

Kindly educate me on how US "overthrow" the government, because to the best of my knowledge, he was impeached by his country's parliament.

prettyboi1:
Russia hit Georgia for the same reason it is hitting Ukraine now "NATO has no business in our neighborhood. Traitors would be treated like traitors".

Lies!!! Georgia was not planning to join NATO then.

And Russia invaded to support and liberate two separatist regions. An Aim they successfully (and easily) achieved after Georgia's president declared a one-sided ceasefire.

Crimea is inhabited by Russians. Before Crimea was annexed, why did the west orchestrate a coup to topple the Ukrainian president in 2014? The west can't possibly think they're the only ones who have power. Why aren't you talking about that but talking about Russia's reaction of the annexation of Crimea?

Was it a coup? Or what is your definition of coup?

The president fled the country following months of protests (which started in 2013 and have grown to become deadly).

He fled before the parliament could vote on his impeachment.

The parliament went ahead to vote in favour of impeachment, with no single person (even his party members) voting for him to remain in office.

How is that a coup?

And even if we agree to call it a "coup" rather than an "impeachment", what evidence do you have to prove that it was sponsored by the west?

You're here talking about Russia's 'aggressive nature', please tell me how many countries in the world Russia has invaded when it wasn't a reaction & I will tell you at least 30 countries that the US & the west have invaded for absolutely no reason but lies & greed.

Almost all Russia's neighbours have lost territories to them in the past. And this includes China (Reason why I doubt China will ever go to this war with them, even if NATO interferes).

And in many cases, it wasn't a "reaction" but a "preemptive" action. A good example of this is Finland's case. Russia wanted some of Finland's lands and cities because of its strategic millitary position, and offered Finland lands in other areas. Finland turned down the offer, and they(Russia) decided to take the lands by force.

Russia has disputed territories with Japan & China, please tell me about them. Thanks.

Use Google. Information is freely available. Basically, Russia shares border with China, Japan and North Korea.

And some of the territories around the border are disputed.

Just40:
you basically don't know what this war is about

My response isn't about what the war is about, but about the reason why Russia's neighbours wants to join NATO, and why they are justified in doing so.

Read the comment I quoted, then read my comment to get the full picture.

prettyboi1:
yet US/NATO want to station by Russia's borders &yet they are pretending like Russia is over-reacting.

It is Russia's aggressive nature, that is pushing their neighbours to join NATO.

Is it NATO that made them annexed lands from China and Finland decades ago?

Is it NATO that made them invade Georgia in 2008, and establish new nations?

Is it NATO that made them Annexed Crimea in 2014?

Is it NATO that made them to currently have disputed territories with both Japan and China?

Russia have always been aggressive towards their neighbours, and that's the reason why they are all seeking refuge with NATO.

NATO does not force any country to join them, the country have to apply, meet the conditions before they can join.

Dollywood:
Ukrainians are no match for Russians. I mean, we all know Russia mean no harm. Don't join the fucking West. Simple. Y'all neighbours, it's like some betrayal shit, but doing it pathetically.

Russia meant every harm.

Go read up their history, they've done this same stuff to almost all their neighbours in the past.

China, Finland and many other countries sharing borders with them have lost territories to them in the past, and they currently have disputed territories with both China and Japan.

Should I also remind you how they invaded Georgia in 2008 (with Georgia declaring a one-sided ceasefire) and established two new countries or how they annexed Crimea in 2014?

Is it NATO that made to be high handed towards their neighbours, thereby pushing those ones to seek refuge in NATO?

The reason all their neighbours are running away from them is because of their regular bullying and aggressive nature. If they've been peaceful all along, all their neighbours won't be looking to join NATO just to be safe from them!!!

NOBODY DE DO U, NA FOREX DE CHOP UR MONEY.
I WAS IN UR SHOE BEFORE.
FORGET DELIVERY RUBBISH, LEAVE FOREX TRADING AND BE CURED.
FOREX IS A HIGH LEVEL GAMBLING

No mind am.

Instead make he close all him forex account, he left them active, which will always trigger a reaction to deposit money anytime he has small cash.

Freedom2022:
I quite agree bro but let me shock you. In 2019, i was fed up of all this and i visited MFM on Lagos Ibadan express way. I was there for 3 days for the end of the year deliverance program. It was powerful and i believe that i will be free after the program, I was very optimistic and i was really thanking God because i felt something. Do you believe that when i got home after the 3 days prayer, my brother sent me some money (i think about 30k).m In my mind i was like yes this is it, a new life. Not up to 1 hour that i got home, i begin to cough again. Before i could blink i deposited my money into my Forex account and within 1 hour all the money is gone. Then the cycle continued so i begin to wonder in my mind "is it that the deliverance wasnt complete?"

Close all your forex account first.

You are addicted to forex, and anytime money gets deposited into your account, you have the urge to deposit the money into your forex account and gamble with it.

The internal struggle of whether to deposit the money in your forex account or not, is probably what unsettle you whenever you have money and eventually leads to cough.


Start off by closing all your forex account, then you can look into blocking the route through which you deposit money there.

Nice one.

An opportunity for PSG to get the trophy.
