I suspect Tony is about to start mopping up UBA so that what has happened in Transcorp doesn't happen to him again. With a market cap of just N270B an enterprising person with $20million in spare change can just convert the money to N14B on the parallel market and become second largest shareholder in UBA with more than 5% and insist on board positions.
But what's wrong with this though ?
FamilyRe: Men Are Afraid Of Successful Women. by Backpedal: 6:42am On Apr 20, 2023
Rokiat:
This is a great topic with many layers to it.


The problem is that many women lead with their achievements. They achieved and believe oh well
I’m a high achiever I don’t gotta clean for no man I don’t gotta cook for no man infact I don’t need a man. That’s the issue right there.

I have said it before and I will say it here again, men don’t give a damn about a woman’s achievements. Maybe your home girls will clap for you but this is not all a man is looking for. An uneducated woman who’s broke and never been to college don’t work but can cook, have good nurturing skills, a good mother, fine as hell, good in bed, will always get the better man than a woman who’s hella accomplished and is totally out of touch with her womanly side and roles.

Fun fact as you are off to work, he’s fu..cking that unemployed woman that truly makes him feel like a man.



Also many of these women achieved and start shouting it at the top of their lungs, a big turn off to many men. A man’s would love you to leave space for him to come in and be a man, provide for you, get you that car that house for the family etc but if you buy yourself all
Of these things and claiming to be an independent strong woman that has everything and the only thing you need is a man well my sister you will stay long waiting for that man.

The truth is bitter, but a successful man is treated like a big baller in society but you as a successful woman well sorry but many men don’t care. And the issue is that many successfully women wants the accolades, the praises, special treatment and to be exempt from their womanly duties simply because they are successful in society. It’s just as bad as men wanting special treatment and better positions because they look good. Lol that’s funny but imagine a man thinking because he looks good so he will get a higher position…rarely ever as in ever. A woman looks yes that matters but a man? Nope not really because that doesn’t impact on his ability to provide or protect. Women have to stop thinking just because they are successful and high achievers they don’t gotta do what a man’s requires of a woman to
Make him feel like a man.


And this is for the women that wants lasting and happy relationships. If you want to be a strong independent woman that don’t need no man kudos to you, do you but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Great submission

PoliticsRe: Daily Loud Reports Tinubu's US Drug Case by Backpedal: 6:47am On Apr 11, 2023
Shantyken:
An indictment is different from conviction”


on alleged association with Chicago drug kingpins began in 2003

The controversy surrounding Tinubu’s alleged links to drug kingpins in Chicago first emerged in 2003, when he was campaigning for re-election as governor of Lagos State. However, the matter was seemingly put to rest by a letter from the US consulate to the then Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun.

The letter, dated February 4, 2003, and signed by the Legal Attache to the US consulate, Michael Bonner, stated that Tinubu had no criminal record of indictment or prosecution.

Bonner clarified that Tinubu was never charged with any drug offence, the case did not go to trial, he was never convicted, and he was never barred from entering the US.

It stated: “The FBI never charged Tinubu with any drug offence; the case did not go on trial. Tinubu was never convicted. And he was never barred from entering the US.”

“In relation to your letter dated February 3, 2003, reference number SR. 3000/IGPSEC/ABJ/VOL. 24/287, regarding Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a record check of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) was conducted.

“The results of the checks were negative for any criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for Bola Ahmed Tinubu (DOB 29 March, 1952). For information of your department, NCIC is a centralized information centre that maintains the records of every criminal arrest and conviction within the United States and its territories,” it reads in part.
Too late for all of these talk
FamilyRe: Frustrated With My Wife by Backpedal: 9:16pm On Apr 10, 2023
ravensckar:
Mr. OP, first of all, I sympathize with you on what you're going through in your marriage. May the Almighty God take absolute control.

Secondly, what you mentioned that your wife is doing to you is typical of most Nigerian women. Withholding sex, not cooking or showing you attention. It's their oldest control mechanism to keep their man in check. It's just that your wife took hers too far. Funny enough, there's not a single man in Nigeria whose wife didn't use these tactics on him, the smart ones always turn the tables and the weak ones always succumb. Kindly spend more time with your dad (if he's still around) or some of your guys who are married let them give you the OT.

My advice for you is simple; find your wife's thumbscrew and use it to counter attack (turn the table). I'll tell you a short story, hopefully, you can learn a thing or two from it. My wife for example, when she started her own 'kolomental' back then. She won't cook, she won't clean the house, she won't give her best during sex. It's always one complain or another. The most painful part of it was the food, every other thing I can bear. I sat her down and spoke to her, nothing changed. I sometimes don't eat at home just to express my displeasure. She didn't bulge, rather, she mocked me and told me that I'll die of hunger.
I reported to her parents, nothing changed.

Then, I spoke to my dad about it and he gave me the OT. I started chatting and receiving calls from one particular number. I began to spend quality time outside my house, she still didn't bulge. I took it to another level by subtly making her friends and family members become aware of my new lifestyle. Fear catch Hanty and she quickly surrendered. It was that moment I found her thumbscrew; my wife is very particular about other people's perception of her marriage. She hates to give others the impression that her marriage is going through something. She's that type of lady who doesn't want her friends, family or even the neighbours to ever think that her husband doesn't love her dearly. That was it, I found her thumbscrew and the dick measuring contest was won by me! cheesy cheesy

Since then, I now know what drives her, what motivates her and what unsettles her. For example, if I want her to knack very well. I'll stop over at her shop on my way back from work, buy her chop chop and we'll both be eating it outside. Gist with her outside, help her sell her stuff and be doing touch & do. You can be sure that night ehn, she will finish me on the bed. And in the same way, if she offends me and I want to treat her Bleep up, I'll just stop over at her shop with a frown on my face or attitude. Instantly, Hanty will start to dey beg. cheesy cheesy

In summary, every woman has a thumbscrew. Your job as a man is to figure out your wife's thumbscrew and use it to the fullest. If you do that, you'll change the dynamics. And in seduction, he who has the initiative has the power. You need to take that initiative!

PS- marriage, business, sports, & politics are ARTS. To succeed at it, one must learn the intricacies.

LegendHero:
What is happening is war of narrative and you won’t understand what the Yoruba intelligentsia are doing.

What Obi and his group of mandate thieves are trying to do is to invalidate the election with their numerous rantsss and fake news. Obi himself knows he couldn’t have won the election, he also knows that no court will upturn the election. He’s just doing it because historically, his people are bad losers and they have penchant for this kind of behavior of crying victimhood.

The Yorubas are picking on the propaganda at the infant stage and demolishing it right there. That is how to fight the narrative war. If we sit down and allow these hateful beings to continue to drive narrative unchecked, they will rewrite history right in our front.

Daniel Kalu also cited some democratic reason for why he advocated that Abiola election be annulled, infact he gave a full op-ed in the news media.
The only mandate thief here is Tinubu

And bigots are coming out of their holes to defend him

Op, please place the blame where it belongs. Apc.
My bother before he left for the US had a side consultation that paid him 125k monthly. I would then convert and send the money to him.
It was about 900+ dollars. Like play like play, that money started reducing jn value until it became less than 200$!
At sometime he abandoned it say e no worth am.
When apc took over $ was 150. It went higher to 180 due to elections and wold have come back to 150 after politicians wold have changed their loot after elections.
If your earned 150k then, you made $1k usd monthly. Today your 150k is just $200.
No be juju be that?
Automatically, apc moved over 100m people into poverty. Destroyed the middle class. Even if you earn 750k monthly in naija, you are making just $1k a month.
Nigerians are poor now, but that do not know it. If they did, I doubt they would have voted APC again.

Countries choose to use the U.S. dollar as their alternative currency because it is stable. Stability of currency is not only based on economics but other factors like security, policies and strong rule of law.
The strength of the American economy is one of the reasons why the U.S. dollar is the world's dominant currency. No other country has open book policies like the US. Investor love transparency., which allows for near accurate predictions. So, the investment would continue to flow in to make US the largest economy in world. Remember that the world's most commonly used currency, the dollar is also the world's reserve currency, meaning it's held in large quantities by central banks around the world. Dollar was established as the world's foremost reserve currency by the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944. and as of March 2021, nearly half of all US banknotes were held by foreign citizens, amounting to roughly $950 billion. These people trust the system to protect their money.
This is the reason US is the greatest country on earth and no other country can take that position for now
