I don't expect any serious bargainers to buy Dangcem now.......in my opinion,they pumped/are pumping the price already.

If anyone will recall, Alhaji's guys picked massive units at 120 when market was down. I can remember echoing it here too.

Whosoever will follow them now is taking a huge risk. We can only be watching them performing their magic from the sideline.

Good point.

OBAGADAFFI:
MANSARD has no longer attractive above N1

When I know in some days to come, likely there will be better entrance opportunity in most of good stocks.

We should trade with caution.

megawealth01:
Abeg those guys that released the remaining MANSARD for me this morning... Thanks oooooo

You should have wait for market to close before the thanks. As investors we should always be close to both local and international news, to help our business. The news around the world currently didn't favour the market.

gibayebatubo:
I pray we get December salary before 25th

Expect your salary on Wednesday 23rd December and Thursday 24th December.

Mcy56:

This question is meant for the gods.......
Only God knows tomorrow.

However, let me use my small knowledge to reason the question.......
Christmas week will likely not present buying opportunity if you're looking at major pullbacks..........it's end of the year, end of financial year, lots of activities and manipulations may likely take place.
Those well seated at discounted prices will be likely favoured while those buying around that time may either be lucky or buying at higher prices.
If your target is dividend, maybe you just have to exercise more patience and allow the festive euphoria to go first.........keep your cash, keep eye on Mr. Market and be watching out for buying opportunities.......
You may gamble with some change in some selected stocks anyway, if you're the gambling type.

This is just my learner's opinion. I get plenty bosses that can advice you better here.......don't know why they all went "solo" these days........

Well said. Q1 2021 will likely present entry opportunities because about 1 trillion will be moving to NTB, between December 31st and March.

Oga, ETI is 6.45 now........

Most of the stocks with bad result has monitoring searchlight monitoring the trading activities. With ETI news of poor result how many outsiders do you think that enter the vehicle newly? It's just an inside pumping, once reasonable amount from outside join the vehicle, believe me you will experience serious dumping.

Mcy56:

Better dont worry yourself much about GTB.
If you're inside the bus and entered at low price, just relax and allow the Mafias to do their things....while you look for another lesser stock to worry about, if you must worry.

Don't trust them, they more you look the less you see. Market is gradually moving toward one direction, before 31st December watch your back, and before 14 January, also 28 January.

Good morning all
We should always remember that stocks that loss 10% today can gain 10% tomorrow, likewise the stock that gain 10% today can loss 10% tomorrow.

But dividend investors keep winning.

NB: There are some of my teaching colleagues who obtained MSC and PhD without approval who then apply for RSU job last year, they were successful at the end of selection exercise. Their record of service was transferred from UBE to RSU as second Appointment through civil service commission

NothingLikeLove:


Oh ok. So did they quit the teaching job for the RSU job or they are doing the two?

@ NothingLikeLove check the bolded the message is clear.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are my candidate and they have won, seriously am happy about it.
Congratulations President and vice president elect, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

AmazonTopaz:

Biden is president elect

He is going to win, I strongly support Biden.

LoyalHustler1:
Dear my fellow brethrens, it is with great JOY that i write to you right now on the outcome of the presidential election going on now in the United States of America.

I write to tell all christians and all supporters of Donald Trump to start rejoicing, start singing and dancing for the battle has been won already.

I want you all to remember that GOD has a reason for allowing this election to go this way. Many of us would have want it to go smoothly but GOD has his ways.

So do not give up.

Do not be discourage.

Do not be sad and afraid for i tell you my brethrens.

President donald trump will be re elected and inaugurated as the president of the United States of America come JANUARY.

Forget about the outcome of what you see right now on NEWS channels and social media.

The second presidency of Donald trump has already been decided in heaven.

The reason why it is currently going this way is for The glory of GOD.

GOD wants to expose so many dirty secrets by members of the Democrats and as you can see, the exposure has already began.

They think they are hurting trump but GOD is making them expose themselves.

Their wiseness is foolishness to GOD.

I want you all to know that Donald trump will become the president of USA for he is to restore usa the great nation back to his old Godly ways.

The holy spirit will pour out in abundance across usa under the second tenure of president Trump and Americans will Massively start preaching the bible in through repentance.

Trump has an unfinished business with Israel according to the Bible.

So my fellow brethrens!!! Have Faith, be happy.

For i see a massive victory for TRUMP.

MAGA!!!

by the order of Ishawuru.

1. Is Biden not a Christian?
2. Did Christian in America vote for Biden and if yes, why did they vote for him?
3. Does it mean that Christians who prayed and wishes Biden to win, that God will not answer their prayer, and to whom did their prayers goes to?

Trump and Biden are both Christian, it's he that wear the shoe no exactly where the shoe is paining him, let their vote count.

Trump Administration Bans Immigrants From Nigeria
4 Feb 2020 .

Trump ban Nigeria and some other countries from visiting American, that alone has significant role to play against his reelection. Let Biden carry on, his policy probably will favour African nation, therefore I support Biden.

Election: Nigerian-Americans speak on their choices
Chairman of the Organisation of the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN) maintains that
"A president who doesn’t like immigrants, who just wants to send everybody back home, is not a president we should be voting for"

Trump fail by making himself an enemy to immigrants, openly voiced out his hatred to African and other developing nation, turning people back who want to visit USA, those who went for American visa interview in the recent past, were denied visa. For me I support Biden.

chymeze:
I recall saying it here several months back that Biden was going to win Trump not because he is better. A lot of us Christians don't realize that what's happening in the US where Trump is being booted out is actually the will of God in this end time to allow for the preparation of the Antichrist to emerge. The Antichrist cannot emerge with Trump in power. Only a president like Biden can give the Antichrist such leeway. What's happening in America is just a fulfilment of scriptures that shows the rapture of the church is about to occur.

It's a political propaganda, Biden is human as Trump is, no one can have anything unless giving to him by God. I support Biden and he is going to win.

Tetehjewels:
Electoral College Vote at this hour:
Biden 264
Trump 214

270 needed to win

I personally supported Biden to win. And will be happy to hear that he win.

naturalflow:

World Teachers’ Day: Buhari raises service year from 35 to 40, retirement age 60 to 65 ON OCTOBER 5, 20204:02 PMIN EDUCATION, NEWS
Approves special salary scale for teachers
Reintroduces bursary award to education students in varsities, COEs
By Joseph Erunke
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has approved a special salary scale and new retirement age for teachers.

The president’s gesture, which was announced Monday, by the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, was in commemoration of the World Teachers Day.

The president increased the number of service years for the teachers from 35 to 40.

Over the years, Nigerian teachers have continued to agitate amongst others, an increase in their retirement age, welfare and salaries.

Buhari, at the 2020 World Teachers Day celebration in Abuja, explained that the implementation of the new teachers’ salary scheme was to encourage the teachers in delivering better services

The special salary scale, the president said, is for basic and secondary school teachers.

The president also increased the retirement age of teachers from 60 to 65, and the number of service years from 35 to 40.

According to him, these were parts of ongoing moves by the government to revitalize and reposition the teaching profession in the country, by introducing what he described as “fundamental and far-reaching changes.”

The president said a review of teachers’ development policies had revealed huge gaps in quantity and quality of teachers at all levels of the nation’s education system. Also, the status and statute of teachers were currently at their lowest ebb.

Buhari said the implementation of the new policies was to attract best brains into the teaching profession and encourage teachers in delivering better services that would produce quality students who would, in turn, contribute to national development.

In his words: “Government notes the emergency situation in our educational system with particular reference to the dearth of qualified and dedicated teachers to enhance the quality of teaching and learning at all levels of our educational system.

“To address these challenge yes and set our country on the path of industrialization where our educational system will produce the needed skills and manpower, I have approved to the following;

“The reintroduction of bursary award to education students in Universities and College of Education with assurance of automatic employment upon graduation, payment of stipends to Bachelor of Education students as well as granting them automatic employment after graduation is now a government policy.

“The Tertiary Education Fund (TETFUND) will now fund teaching practice in Universities and Colleges of Education, special salary scale for teachers in basic and secondary schools including provisions for rural posting allowance, science teachers allowance and peculiar allowance.

“Special teacher pension scheme to enable the teaching profession retain its experienced talent as well as extend teachers retirement age to 65 years and teachers service years to 40, create a career path policy for teaching profession in Nigeria and, teachers conversion programme and ICT training to mitigate the current dearth of qualified teachers in the school system.”

President Buhari also approved the following incentives to motivate and restore the lost glory of Teachers; building of low-cost houses for teachers in rural areas, sponsorship of teachers to at least one refresher training per annum, expansion of annual Presidential teachers and schools awards to cover more categories with outstanding winners to be considered for National Awards and National Productivity Order of Merit (NPOM) awards.

Others were; “prompt payment of salaries and other entitlements including consideration for first-line charge in annual budgets, timely promotion of teachers to eliminate stagnation, provision of loan facilities, free tuition and automatic admission for biological children of teachers in their respective schools to encourage and retain them in the system.”

“The Minister of Education is hereby directed to ensure an accelerated implementation of these policies and measures in collaboration/liaison with States/Local Governments, the Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission and other relevant agencies in the system to enthrone a culture of competence, discipline, dedication, increased learning outcomes and better service delivery in the education sector in Nigeria.”

President Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Nasir Idris who urged the government to ensure strict compliance of schools to the COVID-19 protocols on safe reopening of schools, said 39 million youngsters were affected by the closure of schools in the country.

Idris who said the use of technology and distance/online learning could not replace school community stressed that “face to face interaction between the teachers and the learner is crucial to the learning and development process.

“This means that teachers need to be provided with opportunities for regular training and continuing professional development, be provided with conducive and safe school environments, be adequately equipped and be empowered and supported to be able to meet the new challenges and demands of the 21st century, and to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life long learning opportunities for all.”

Recall that over the years, Nigerian teachers have continued to agitate amongst others, an increase in their retirement age, welfare and salaries
