Currently scanning the matches today and will be previewing 3 likely draws.
Remo stars vs Enugu Rangers in Nigeria, Asyt vs We Sc in Egypt division 2 and kabwe vs Green Eagles in Zambia are likely draw matches.
Goodluck.

...Such high denominations will worsen inflation; it should be a ‘no-go’ area for the government

All of a sudden, Quantus Economics, has leapt to media and public attention. Before its speculation that the monetary authorities were considering introduction of higher denomination notes for the Naira last week, little was known of the body. Even now, a search on the internet yields little information on it.

However, because Nigerians have become very sensitive to matters of the economy, it has leapt to front page of major newspapers and attracted reactions from leading economic organisations.

Quantus Economics reported that there were plans to issue N10,000 and N20,000, a giant leap from the N1,000 that has remained our highest notes for years. Perhaps this would not have received so much attention if there had not been suggestions before now that N5,000 notes were in the offing.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was reported as making plans to reduce the cost of printing notes by introducing the higher note. However, the reaction of the public to the move indicated that it would have been an unpopular decision.

Quantus Economics had argued that introducing higher notes would not only reduce the cost of printing currency in the country, but assist the public in handling them. The body said the existing notes had lost so much value that carrying them about had become a burden to people, especially where notes lower than even the N1,000 have to be paid out in the banks.

However, the Organised Private Sector and the Labour movement have stridently opposed the plan, dubbing it elitist. To illustrate their position, they pointed out that a worker on the current minimum wage of N70,000, would only be paid three N20,000 notes and a N10,000 if the suggestion is adopted.

The two bodies that would be impacted most by the decision, if allowed, have pointed out that it would reverse the gains in policies driving down inflation. They have pointed out that it is anti-people. It has been argued that the rich are pushing for the policy because they want to carry currency about more easily.

This is contrary to the government policy that is promoting digital transactions. The cashless programme introduced in December 2011 by the Jonathan administration has been promoted by successive governments is the way to go. We agree with the cashless policy that has already been embraced by many in the economy.

Most people in the formal and informal sectors of the economy are now encouraged to promote transactions digitally. In the retail end of the downstream sector of the oil industry, many customers usually opt for the use. Wholesale traders, supermarkets and suppliers of raw materials for manufacturing no longer have to carry cash about.

This has helped in reducing armed robbery incidents, especially in the urban areas. Break-ins and burglary have drastically reduced, too, because there is little handy to compensate for efforts of the criminals.

On the contrary, corruption will receive a boost if higher currency notes are introduced. It would be easier to receive millions of Naira gratification without detection. Is this in the interest of the country? No. It will rather nullify efforts by the anti-graft bodies to promote ethical conduct in the country.

If workers, represented by the Labour movement, and employers of labour in the private sector are united against the move, it is difficult to appreciate where the move is coming from.

Earlier, when the cashless policy was being introduced, the government had said it was in the public interest since it would assist in the drive to stem corruption in the public sector. So, why should the scheme now be scuttled? A country confronting myriad economic, corruption and security challenges should not help the enemies by introducing such an inimical policy.

The day you start playing virtual bet just know that your village people have gotten you. I have been there.
Virtual bet will drain you to the last kobo you have, I can't really say it is demonic because you will not have control over your self again , you will want to recover what you have lost ,you will keep playing and losing the more. The little time you win is just to draw you more closer to losing more.
Virtual bet will make you a chronic liar, you will sell your properties . you will just be in debt. In a space of one hour you can lose all what you worked for in life. I am talking from experience please stay away from gambling ,stay far far far far far... Away from virtual bet.
It can lead you to depression and later suicide thought.
The lord that delivered me will deliver you on time before it get to lat

Get off my mention pls. I just say things off my mind. What the heck do I need to get a girl from nairaland. I am talking of my desire to get more out of life this one is talking of girls. Run off man

lajid:
Mehn…..

It’s been a crazy journey so far. On my bed thinking of life… I am 25. Turned 25 in July and suddenly my age sounded serious. Realizing that I don’t really have time on my side.

I am just looking at life, my dreams and all of that. Looked at my account and all I have is about 3.5M savings. No girlfriend (had only one gf all my life, a distant one and got crashed), I can’t even approach girls cause I feel I am not settled. I mean my pay just got increased to 800k/monthly recently but just thinking, is this how I wan make am? Also cause I don’t really enjoy my work even tho some seem to be comfortable with it. I want more out of life…….

The dreams and all of that. On top of that, first son and first born. Just a lot going on my mind. Staying in lagos isn’t even making matters easy. Accomodation and transport expensive here (prolly will have achieved more outside here)

I’ve thought of starting a start-up by the side but then my mind has left this country man. Also cause I think it may take time for the start up to get off the ground.

As it is, I am just thinking what next. Getting closer to God to get a clearer view of my life.

I am currently applying for MBA in the USA. I think the best think that will happen to me this year is getting a fully funded MBA program in a top school and getting visa, by December I’ll know my date on that. I know my life will rake a huge turn after this.

Can’t even ask girls out cause my self-esteem is just low right now. Also maybe cause I am 5’5 as a guy so scared to approach them.

I just want to vent out using this my unknown moniker.

Crazy stage in life

God help me.

What pisses you off most about your money situation right now?

Mariangeles:
As much as opportunities exist, and as much as you can create them, you can also prepare for opportunities, even if you don't have the resources for them.
That preparedness might be the force that attracts the opportunity to you.

Peter1629:
Many wait for opportunities.

But the truth — it doesn't really exist.
You have to create them.

Whatever opportunity you want in life.
It's up to you to create it.

Waiting for opportunities that doesn't even exist isn't waste of time.
But waste of life.

I hope this helps.
