Haydens:
Yeah, she is older than him.
The issue with most of these kind of guys is that they quickly have sex with such ladies after meeting them.

Hence jumping out of the cage becomes a serious issue. Lol.

And some of such women can be very influencial and contributed a lot in the success of the guy along the way.

For the sake of peace, let him carefully continue to walk in union with the lady.
Politics › Re: Dangote Says Subsidy Reintroduction, Price Control Policies Could Hurt It by Basicend: 1:19pm On Sep 11
You mean the abundant and excessive profit margins that Dangote has been making all these while since the start of the Iran war?

To be honest, I don't know who is more greedy between Dangote and President Tinubu (the petroleum minister).

ravensckar:
Chelsea's set piece coach deserves a raise! I like the way they neutralized Arsenal's corner kicks.

Corner FC wan use corner kicks win league back to back. cheesy cheesy

Meanwhile, Alonso will do well to shore up that midfield and to tell his boys to keep possession and create opportunity.

This Arsenal is beatable!
I think he needs to warn or remove Cole Palmer.

That dude is just one more tackle away from a red card in this march.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Vs Chelsea (2 - 1) On 6th September 2026 by Basicend: 5:11pm On Sep 06
For me, these are the 2 best teams in the league this season with very good players on both sides.

Either of them will win the league this season.
Politics › Re: Fuel Price: Petrol Marketers Have Put Tinubu’s Subsidy Argument To Shame — Atiku by Basicend: 12:46pm On Sep 04
Sirleo05:
Nigeria is a fuel economy, that's, it largely depends on fuel, diesel for her daily survival, and any increase will mean doom for the people and business at large. so, there's need for government to reduce price which in turn will reduce pressure on the people and business.
President Tinubu does not care about that.

The only thing that matter to him is just that he can raise funds from the public to share with his governors and cronies.
Politics › Re: UBER Exit Exposes The Pitfalls Of Tinubunomics by Basicend:
Racoon:
"Nigeria remains a relatively low-income economy with widespread poverty, high unemployment and underemployment, and a very young population. So many Nigerians borrow to meet basic living expenses or finance small businesses rather than fund discretionary consumption.

The result is that households with already limited incomes must devote a significant portion of their cash flow to essential expenditure, leaving considerably less for convenience services such as ride-hailing.This is where Uber’s economics become difficult.

"By records, close to a dozen major foreign businesses have exited, divested or materially restructured their Nigerian operations since 2023. GSK, Procter & Gamble, Sanofi, Kimberly-Clark, Diageo, Pick n Pay and others have all exited, divested or materially restructured their Nigerian operations in recent years. Uber now joins that uncomfortable list.

Foreign investors do not invest in population statistics, they invest in addressable markets. And an addressable market is ultimately determined by how many people can actually afford to buy what a company is selling....."
All the companies you stated above that left Nigeria are from the USA or the West.

They are the ones that destroyed the Nigerian economy in collaboration with our corrupted and thiefing leadership.

So it is good that they are the ones that their biz(s) gets financially trapped in the dead economy they created via excessive IMF/World bank loans and debt instruments. They kept advising the govt to devalue the Naira and increase taxing on the citizens.

So where do they expect purchasing power to rise from?

US wanted to keep Africa (which they saw as shit hole) poor and dollar dependent. But their plans failed. China taylorized their products and services to meet the exact challenging issues of Nigerians and took over the control and flow of most sectors.

Have you asked urself, why are Chinese firms not liquidating or running away? Becoz they adapted perfectly well to the Nigerian situation and created viable alternative solutions.

The purchasing power of Nigerians against dollarized goods or services from the US is what will be putting them in continuous loss.

For example, why should I buy a 10,000 mAh Belkin Power Bank for N35,000, when I can can buy a 20,000 mAh Redmi Power Bank for N14,000. And the Redmi power bank is stronger with far more loads of power and lasts longer than Belkin's.

Dangote! Using Nigerians monies to quickly build more refineries in other African countries.

Oga Tinubu (the petroleum minister) shading the transactional process from our eyes. So that he can gather more wealth.

Nobody to fight for average Nigerians.

Enzo Fernandez is not well advised.

This Chelsea team under Alonso is a far better team and project than Man City.

Apart from Arsenal, I don't see any team stopping Chelsea from winning the league this season. They are very strong.
Christianity Etc › Re: Samuel Leeds Vows To Pay Legal Fees Of Street Preachers "Bullied" By UK Police by Basicend:
jesusjnr2020:
What many don't seem to understand is that preaching the Gospel of Jesus has always been a risky thing, so being arrested, persecuted, or even killed for preaching the Gospel outdoors isn't a new thing.

It happened during the days of the apostles and early Christians, as they were persecuted and some of them were even killed for this purpose but that didn't stop the preaching and spread of the Gospel of Jesus.

I myself suffered persecution, and had been arrested and beaten by policemen 25 years ago for preaching the Gospel of Jesus on the streets, but it didn't stop me because I am still doing same up til date.

So if they think they could stop the preaching or spread of the Gospel by persecuting, arresting, beating, fining street preachers, they're only deceiving themselves.

Because not even the gates of hell could stop the preaching and spread of the Gospel of Jesus in this world.

God bless.
You are actually correct.

However, UK which was the vanguard of the gospel few decades ago should not have decayed to this level.
Business › Re: Despite Fall In Crude Price, Petrol Hits ₦1,212 Per Litre by Basicend: 2:28pm On Aug 27
tnerro1:
I was not going to vote next election, but since Atiku raised this subsidy issue, I have decided to vote for ADC.
Remember the suffering we have been facing for the last 3 years, if you want to suffer for another 4 years, don’t vote or vote for APC. Na you go face am along, while the governors will be stealing your “ subsidy saving money “ and EFCC will not be able to do anything to them cause they are all in the ruling party.
REMEMBER THIS.
Atiku na scammer too. He is only desperate to gain power coz this is his last chance.

He has nothing to offer Nigeria.
Business › Re: Despite Fall In Crude Price, Petrol Hits ₦1,212 Per Litre by Basicend: 2:24pm On Aug 27
nairalanda1:
Yeah, because fall in crude in crude pil prices means fall in the dollar inflow into the country, which means a fall in the value of the naira as a result.

Remember, fuel price is not just a function of crude oil prices, there are other factors in it.

Weakness of the naira is driving up the cost of fuel.

When I shout on this site, as i have for years, that Nigeria needs to develop its industrial capacity so that it can earn more forex, people here call me APC supporter. As if APC is developing NIgeria's industrial capacity! cheesy
Nigeria is currently not short in FX supply.

For a while, CBN has found other short-term ways to drive up our FX reserves e.g via FX based TBs, bonds etc.

Dangote is extracting/milking ur funds using it to expand his refineries to other African countries currently. The projects are ongoing.

The minister of petroleum is also cashing out heavily and doesn't want to be transparent or mitigate the costs in any way for Nigerians. That's the issue.

True. That's usually the case with most set-ups.

Access Bank is still flying much after Herbert Wigwe's departure becoz Aig is still around conducting things.

Zentih is still flying coz Jim is still around, etc.

If you did not birth a vision, it will take a lot to carry it.

Those are the two most impressive and viable teams I can vouch for this season.

With Arsenal rated as the surest.
Romance › Re: I Have ₦13M Savings: Should I Build A House Or Get Married? by Basicend:
HelipsTech:
Sir Marry,

Continue with ur business, marry and start your building project.

Marriage is sweet, you aint getting younger, think of how old, your children will be in your 70 years.

Start a business for ur wife or marry a working class. Start a building and continue with your business
Be careful with the last paragraph of the above advice. It's dangerous.

1. The person obviously does not know the serial costs you will be keep incurring for wedding and the marriage journey itself in today's economy. Except u have found a very disciplined and truly supportive woman.
(After spending on the wedding, u instantly start spending more to the keep the marriage)

2. Don't start a business for the woman yet. Ensure that you grow in the mastery of ur own business for now. If yours is growing firmly, then u may consider starting a biz for the woman that is if the woman does not even have funds to start it herself.

3. Don't throw away your vision (esp such that is already manifesting) because u want to marry.

At 31 in today's Nigeria, you still have time to plan well for your future and pray for a good wife.
Politics › Re: 5 Strong Reasons Why I Support Atiku’s Position On Fuel Subsidy By PastorKay by Basicend:
Every developing and developed country on earth subsidized one thing or the other as a mitigation or relief effort for its citizens.

The so called subsidy removal proceeds they gathered, has it not been shared amongst the executives and legislature as we initially predicted? Yet the govt is still even borrowing more than all the previous administration.

China that the whole world is going to now, do you know how much their govt (CCP) pays as subsidies to it's manufacturing companies so that they can survive international price shocks.

President Tinubu tried to remove govt responsibility 4rm everything by telling us that they are broke. Hence, plunging many Nigerians into abject poverty while giving them hope. While the acquired proceeds are being stolen or shared or wasted amongst the elites.

Obasanjo that tried to save monies in Nigeria's cofers and appointed a puppet after him so as to ensure that those monies are secured. Did all those monies not disappear few years after he left office?

President Tinubu need to understand that either way, Nigeria will still borrow to survive. Hence, should have found ways to improve standard of living of Nigerians as utmost priority. Ensure quality of life first for your people.

Even Iran with several sanctions for many years and currently besieged with war has better standard of living, life expectancy and public infrastructure and purchasing power than Nigerians currently.

Argentina with multiple years of massive defaulted loans and economic pressures still have their people in better quality of life and purchasing power than Nigerians.

Take care of today. Nigerians should have no reasons to be searching for shelters and food helplessly in countries like Benin, Congo, Kenya, Cameroun etc.

Please knack her. She wants it, you also want it but you are pretending. Its not rape. Its consensual. Sleep with her.
Sleeping with a married woman opens windows to many uncontrollable problems later in life.

That lady is covenanted and binded to another man. There are consequences.

If you desire a very stable and quality future, avoid sex with married ladies.

On records, President Tinubu has only visited the USA once since he became president. That was for UNGA (United Nations General Assembly) in 2023.

I expect him to dodge this function. Because he may not be able to articulate himself properly.

He will send Alhaji Shettima.

What the hell are you talking about? angry


I worked with not one or two corporate organizations, including foreign owned organizations before being on my own.


Besides, Tony Elumelu is not her colleague, he is the Chairman and owner of the organization where she works so she has no right to call him by his first name, in Nigeria? This is Nigeria Mr man!!
Do you know that a staff had been sacked before for not calling Herbert Wigwe by his first name?

I have seen Pascal Dozie and Uzoma Dozie being called by their first names. It's a normal thing in banks that have such entrenched in their culture.

Is Tony different from such persons above?

I guess the young lady was trying to align to the things she was taught in training.

If Mr Elumelu is not comfortable with such, he should remove that aspect from their training curriculum.

Including the owner of the bank?
So a cashier or a security man at the gate, or junior level officer, can look the owner of the bank in the eye and call him by his first name? If that was right, why did Mr. Elumelu address her over or immediately?
Yes, absolutely (including the CEO).

Ask anyone that has worked in new generation banks and some telecoms or multinationals.

Not all of them have such cultures thou.

ElevationD:
A UBA trainee for that matter.

You do not have the job secured and you call the owner of the organization by his name without fear in his front. By now she should be regretting her life. Her parents, family and friends, including enemies would have given her the story of her life by now.

Can she call her own father by his first name like that?

I think that foolishness should have ended her journey in UBA.
I have worked in banks before, in their training school, they usually induct the trainees to call all employees by their first name.

It's a corporate culture thing.

You can't blame the young lady completely. It's just that Baba Elumelu was not pleased with it as at that point.

Opay is enjoying the benefits of retail banking. Just like when you introduce sachet to products people see as luxury. Same strategy GTbank used with zero minimum balance savings account.

The only problem I'm having with them is them ignoring NGN FX to that of abroad.
God bless you.

Tinubu and Cardoso need to do something about movement of Nigeria's funds abroad by these foreign companies.

Why is Opay not expanding it's capital and presence significantly within Nigeria? A ground that it milked it's money from?

Why is Opay not allowing Nigerians that gave it about 88% of it's profit to be partakers of it's ownership? Why running to initiate IPO in USA?

Their strikes have also been predominent in Christian denominated LGAs in Kwara.

Whereas, it is their warriors that has been systematically killing Christians all over the country.

Who are we deceiving?

They stopped at Ogbomosho in SW when they saw the magnitude of issues that came with it. They knew they have to re-structure their plans.
