Gov. Dapo was deliberately dramatic in collecting the money. See the manner he folded the envelope & raised the whole agbada just to keep it in his pocket? grin

Good to see his mum looking good & going strong.
I'd feared for her when she lost her husband few years ago as the two were quite inseparable.
Many happy returns.

Thanks a bunch. Do you have any idea of the ease of funds redemption? Asides the ease of depositing, one has to know about their redemption processs😃
Make person no go hear gist when the need for redemption occurs.

These mutual funds are well-structured investments designed to prevent malpractices and keep investors' confidence in safety and returns.
Let me breakdown the structure of this GTCO MMF, for example:
1. Fund Manager: Guaranty Trust Fund Managers
2. Custodian: Citibank
3. Trustee: United Capital Trustees
4. Regulator: Securities & Exchange Commission

All listed parties are indepedent, play different roles, but collaborate to manage your money for you.

Anyone tried out GTCO MMF?

1. Currently offering one of the highest rates @ over 20%.

2. Signing up is easy via their web portal.

3. Email communication is one aspect that they seriously need to improve on.

4. You can top up your investment via the usual bank transfers & virtual account numbers (from their web portal).

5. I'm not aware they have a mobile app yet but the web is active.

What is their Full Requirement for Registration ....?

You'll have to start to find out for yourself.
From general idea, just get the following ready in case:
1. Passport photo
2. Email
3. Phone number
4. Account Number
5. BVN
6. National ID
7. Utility bill
8. Sample of signature

You saw the way Putin was looking up at it. I think he was even afraid because he wasn't expecting it.

Putin was just amused. Like "A B-2 stealth bomber over my head?! Nice one mate!"
They both subtly showed off their mights & friendship.

There's a particular tall, dark, slightly huge attendant at NNPC station, Iponri (Lagos) that I'm still trying to catch red-handed.
I have observed the fellow, on 2 occasions, hurriedly inserting nozzle into my tank and start dispensing even before I alight from my car to discuss mode of payment.
The last one happened 8 days ago and guy was obviously acting strange and fidgeting when I gave him a look with suspicion after pulling same stunt.
I'll just keep playing along until that day he'll fall into my net.

Business › Re: A Friend Of Mine Showed Me His Transaction History Of Him Owing A Bank by bfn1: 6:23pm On Jul 31, 2025

guobe:
He said he didn't borrow money and he is having a negative transaction history.
This is my first time of seeing such a transaction history.

He should check too if someone had mistakenly paid into his account in the past, and he had knowingly or unknowingly spent it.
If the other customer's complaint of wrong transfer is concluded on by his bank, a credit reversal I'll be initiated (between all concerned banks) which will put your own account in this negative position if no fund was found in the account on the day the reversal was done.

In recent times, I've mistaken a lot of AI-generated videos for real until someone either corrects me or I get Twitter/X community notification.
Now, I look at some clips & tell myself "It could be AI...". I'm already getting desensitized that much.

Did you read "Sangba Fo" by Akinlade Kola?
He is less known, but that book is dope. I was captivated to the very end even though I hated reading Yoruba.

Yes, I heard about it, and I also remember it being read out across some weekly episodes of a radio program where the presenter would read chapters of a Yoruba story book until the end. I can still add it to my bucket list though.

That Ogboju Ode ninu igbo irunmole was one of my Yoruba textbook along with Alawiye. It featured the story of a day old baby god by the name of Ajantala. I didn't read it much because the yoruba grammar it was written in was too much for me.
