Business › Re: Dangote: End Of The Road For A Monopolist? By Soji Adekunmbi by budaatum: 12:51pm On Jul 27, 2024

Wisdomkosi:
Dangote should do the needful by selling shares to Nigerians as it is obvious given the intricate nature of business in the oil and gas sector particularly the huge capital outlay required to keep a business going, he cannot pull it off alone.

I do agree with this part. I also think NNPC should be sold to us Nigerians too. And no, I don't mean to the rich and wealthy alone. Say like 10% of the shares should be allocated to every living Nigerian with provision we can't sell for 10 years. Our vested interest might make us force NNPC to operate better.

The scripture said that GOD ALMIGHTIEST is inviting everyone to come and buy eternal life without money and without price .

How much would it cost you to buy the blood of CHRIST??

I must wonder why I'd need the "blood of CHRIST" when I can read about him in Scripture and learn and understand what he taught instead of just believing some crap that verification with my senses falsifies.

Perhaps understand that surviving the 3 score and 10 is far more important than some imaginary eternal life. Its why Christ said something about one's neighbours here on earth instead of those supposedly living eternally.

I've introduced 2 individuals to you. Hopefully, you'd give them the bread they have no money to purchase instead of your supposed free blood of Christ.

Amujale:
Good morning great brother, thanks for you're speedy intervention the other day.

You are correct on the US politics discussion, and i concede to the logic you presented in your argument, furthermore, given that the Obama family and others have weighed in on the matter, and regardless of her east Indian background, i now realise the need to put down any criticism and back Kamala Haris for the top office.

I apologise for not recognising this in the first instance.

Yes, this may not be the perfect candidate but it dang well is the perfect opportunity to vote in the first female president of the US, and that in itself is something quite special and worth fighting for.

Good morning to you too Sir. That thread is unfortunately not one where much regard is shown for one another, and the division is so intense that we often don't even hear each others point, so the fact you have is highly commendable.

Please know that buda is immensely humbled.

Sefannova:
PLEASE SIR HELP ME BRING MY BUSINESS TO LIFE

Have you taken advantage of the available student loan yet? I ask because you seem to have incurred expenditure (rent) before ensuring you have the revenue to pay for it, which is not exactly good business, and which an education might have helped you know to avoid so your current expenditure could have been saved up to buy equipment.

Sefannova:
i already have shop and a very busy business area for charging and sales of card and also repair of phones but i dont have the required cash to buy the needed items to start the shop.
i seek help to start this small business, if you can help me start it i promise to manage it well and get a honest living from there.

Of course it might be that the shop is in the family and is rent free, in which case you have assets which you could have used to generate income to purchase the equipment you require.

Nina Simone's assets in question was
awarded to Sony and San Pasqual Fiduciary Trust Company and no, it wasn't awarded to Miriam Makeba as you accurately expressed; leaving her prized assets in the care of Miriam Mekamba was indeed Nina Simone's wishes.

You're completely and utterly incorrect.

Lisa Simone Kelly was left in control of all those assets as of 2013, therefore, yes, she was, unceremoniously dispossessed.

Not "control". "Control" implies Lisa decides what the trust's assets are used for, which is not the case, as the trust was set up for the specific purpose of educating African children.

'Manage', would be a more appropriate word, and she was 'found' to have mismanaged.

Amujale:
Eventhough, i wholeheartedly agree with the logic here, under no condition should those assets have been allowed to leave the hands of the African American community, if they couldn't trust the Simone family, there are various options they could have considered that wouldn't have been as draconian as the one they seem to have gone with.

This view (bold) I don't share. Though I can be manipulated to agree with you.

It is my view that the trust should be managed competently. Race, skin colour, etc should have nothing to do with who's chosen.

But then, Yoruba me is Obidient, so there.

Amujale:
This is very true, however, that doesn't make what they did any better.

Now, this is a very different argument, and has moved us along somewhat.

If Nina Simone's daughter was found to have been mismanaging the trust set up to educate African children, my position is she must rightfully be stripped of trusteeship.

What's left to argue now is if she was mismanaging the trust or not.

Amujale:
Yes, anyone in the Simone family.

Definitely not a Recording Studio.

It was not given to a recording studio! And there's no reason why the trust should have been handed to a family member when Nina herself had handed it over to Mariam Makeba, a non-family member.

Amujale:
I wasn't referring to here most prized assets here, i merely was refferring to other assets thats the reason i took the time to stressed that.

The only assets that Nina Simone's daughter was stripped of (managing) were her most prized assets which were willed to a trust.

Kelly Simone was willed assets in her own right that she was never stripped of.

Foreign Affairs › Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by budaatum: 5:56pm On Jul 26, 2024

Amujale:
The whole point of this is for you to provide a reasonable explanation for why anyone dispossess an African American assets so as to award a Recording Studio?

First, the most prized assets were not left to her daughter, so your "dispossess" is null and void, since you can't be disposed of what isn't yours.

Second, her daughter mismanaged the trust and was rightfully stripped of managing the trust, regardless of her being African American.

As to whom it was handed to to manage it, did you have someone else in mind?

Meaning that she did will her assets to her only daughter, why wouldn't she?

No she did not will her assets to her only daughter!

Come on man! Read below you even admitting it yourself. Or are the "most prized asset" not the bulk of her assets?

Amujale:
She did will her assets to her daughter, its just that the most prized asset is the "charitable trust" that is meant for the education of kids.

Read the below. It clearly states what was left to the daughter and what wasn't.

budaatum:
A pdf of the settlement:
https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/charities/estate-of-nina-simone-settlement.pdf

The fact they didn't exactly get along much might explain why Simone left her most prized assets to a trust for the education of kids and not to her own daughter.

You obviously have comprehension issues.

Thats precisely what I relayed in the post that you're responding.

Its your interpretation of what you wrote that is of issue here.

Willing most prized assets to a trust for the education of kids, is not, willed to the family to use as they wish.

If Nina Simone's assets were willed to her family, the family can legally divert its proceeds for personal as they wish. But it wasn't willed to her family, it was willed to a trust for the education of kids. And if they diverted trust funds to personal use as they are accused of doing, they'd rightfully be stripped of trusteeship as they were.

Amujale:
You still haven't explained why her assets were transferred from the Simone family to a Recording Studio.

Explained that, Go!

Simone's most prized assets were never willed to the Simone family to begin with. They were willed to a trust for the education of kids.

RéAnna Simone Kelly was found to have mismanaged the trust and was rightfully stripped of her trusteeship.

From the above, Nina Simone's "most prized asset" was left to the "charitable trust" that is "meant for the education of kids", and not willed to RéAnna Simone Kelly to treat as personal income.

Or is it that you do not understand the difference?

so what is the use of tertiary education since we can learn skills online and through apprenticeship?

Tertiary education is post secondary school, and includes, in this day and age, "learn skills online and through apprenticeship".

An apprentice mechanic, carpenter, tailor, plumber, coder, would not be waiting for government to create job for them and will never starve.

The point is, learn wherever or die of hunger.

Jobs are never in place. Hopefully, the educated will be able to create jobs for themselves.

As for "Tertiary education in Nigeria is a very big scam", lots of Nigerians are using their Nigerian Tertiary education to improve their lives, but I guess those are the one's who don't believe skool na scam or expect government to employ them.

otipoju:
If they could collect levies from people for the air they breathe, they surely will.

There will indeed come a time when we will surely have to pay for the air we breath. A meter will be attached to peoples' noses to monitor their breathing so they can be charged accordingly through an app on their phones.

Thankfully, people will not be powerless in this regard, as individuals can choose to cut down their breathing to reduce their bill. Instead of say a normal 12 to 18 breaths per minute, individuals can reduce to 6 to 9 breaths per minute and thereby cut their bill in half. Do note though that there will likely be a standing charge payable whether you breath or not.

Hopefully, it wouldn't apply to under 18s, or it might significantly reduce the birth rate, which, while being good for birth rate reduction, might be onerous for parents who can't control their uncontrolled fuqing.
