Please that's not what happened. Punch's story are inaccurate..read the real story.. Click here to read

How stupid and gullible are you? You have been clouded by hatred and hearsays that you're so bitter and won't believe whatever good is reported of GEJ but the bad. Photos of the cities in which Jonathan's govt has transformed is posted, you go on shouting this is not in Nigeria. When you enter a city like Uyo, Akwa Ibom state; your local brains would call it London.

Nigerians are all bandwagon jumpers. Just because ppl insult Jonathan, you jump on it. The only problem the man has is the security which is paramont but that is because people are out there to frustrate him with.

Security apart, Jonathan has been the best President so far. Someone better might come but only if you're a cowbell baby born in the 90s, who's brain just got matured some 5-7yrs ago, as is the case with so many Nigerians, only then will you insult Jonathan's government or say he's the worst. He has his flaws but he is better than OBJ, Abacha or any other military government.

The Lagos-Ibadan-Ore express road is a testiomony, improved economy that has made a significant increase in just 3yrs that took other 60yrs to improve. Return of agriculture, electricity has improved vastly. (If you say you haven't seen light in your area and use that as a judgement then it only serves my point that you're cowbell born)

Last year we suffered from electricity in my area while a negbouring are has almost 24hrs of light daily...I sort for answers and found they were building gradually. Most of the reasons why you have poor electricity is the state of the transformers in your area. The govt plan to introduce mini transformer on each street, with that the capacity a transformer carries will reduce and prevent them from getting faulty. Now as I speak, since this year we get atleast 12hrs of light daily in my area...aint that a vast improvement? You think it will take 3yrs to transform Nigeria to Japan? Something that didn't take OBJ 8yrs?

Goodluck's tenure has been a true definition of Democracy, that alone is what as seen him being labelled weak because he doesn't take the straight decisions but put out panels to preside all the time. He might not be wearing a golden amour glowing to show all he's done because of security taken its shine yet he's done tremendously well. The oppostion guys know these but won't tell you, they'll tell you only what you want to hear.

If were to rate GEJ compare to other past govt, I'll give him a 65%...The 35% is the problems with securities and corruption..

Nigeria's economy has grown under GEJ with lots of potentials...People cry about job opportunities and all that, Everything can't be done in 4years...its gradual yet again I will say Nigeria has grown past the years of groaning for the govt to provide jobs...gove can't provide jobs for 160million people...grow up if you still live in this illusion...there are a 1001 ways to make good incomes in this Nation. Harness them, that talent you have WILL fetch you millions. Learn crafts, trades...become entrepreneurs, study people and device a market for yourself.

These are the opinions of just an avid spectator and I hate politics if you think I promoting. Its none of my business if you vote GEJ for 2015, I've always said, it will be good if he doesn't run for 2015, yet if he does, I'll gladly vote him.

mercylicious: @ donclark,
we cannot categorically tell you the no of units or the worth of ur dad's shares. u have to go and ask d oga at d top - csl.

First thing first did ur dad buy during ipo or from secondary mkt ? if ipo was he issued a certificate? if yes, has he dematerialised it wit cscs? if no, he needs to go to a stockbroker, open account, submit the share certs with a bankers confirmation as well as a valid id. The stock brokers will help him dematerialise the cert.This really takes some time.

If the cert has been dematerialised, the broker can assist him know d total noof units if he cant, ur dad will have to visit csl office . He will be advised the total no of units he has. He shld also ask them of his unclaimed div if he has not been receiving it.

Than my lady I appreciate..The cert hasn't been dematerialised that's my guess but FCMB have been sending us mails with duplicate certs at intervals..

thanks to all who chipped in sumn pistive..I'd be filling pop man in...atleast I leant a percentage of what y'all know today...Cheers!

Replying u would only lose me some fibres of skin...get a life!

Toluway: To know whether to hold or sell, you need to acquire the basic knowledge to monitor the stock. As a result, go start reading from the last hundred pages. This will give you a beginer's knowledge.

How about if I leave that to the broker to monitor? Just asking?

Toluway: Check the current price per unit of fcmb, you can ggogle it it if you dont know where to check, the multiply the number of units you have by the current price, to get the value of the stock.

I did google it with my phone before asking, I wasn't getting nothing...I'm away from home now, when I get home, I'll use my pc...maybe I'll get to see and understand more clearly. Thanks a bunch!

kotlass: I'll bet the .50k quoted are the nominal units not price. Even First Atlantic IPO didn't sell for 0.50k. It sold for N1.50k I think. Better not to raise hopes too high and be disappointed. Things have happened bro......Union bank,Finbank shareholders suffered some reconstruction losses.

The statement from the certificates says..."So so so bought shares at 50k per unit on this date"

So might explaining how that means nominal units..

Audacius: @donclark, when FCMB bought Finbank, your dad's shares reduced. If he bought finbank shares at .50k, then an investment of N50000 should be around 100,000 units. (There are charges too from brokers) So, you have an idea of his initial holding. Visit the registrar possibly with an authorization letter from pop or go together.

Now this was exactly what I wanted, Audacious God bless you!

Its as simple as this...y'all be writing essays for me...

passwelle: Obviously the individual in question has a massive chip on his shoulders. He wants us to cower because he has a 2.1 in Mechanical Engr and lacks basic research methodology .
Mallam blogger, web designer, entertainment mogul in late 20's with a 2.1, google is still your friend. The quoted text should be enough to start with.

Dude don't say what you don't know. When one has no interest you think just the reseraches would help? You read my earlier statement, I said I was reseraching but the interest wasn't there. Its more than just reading websites.

It was through my reserches I know CLS handles FCMB stockbroking and I emailed them yesterday. I also came accross various blogs befor my search query took me to a 2006 naraland thread where I managed to see another thread that linked me here.

I have no interest in NSE, my kind of person cannot thrive here. I just need to know what's left of the share and either sell or invest it. Anyways my researches has led me to a stockbroker now and I have a meeting with her this week.

kotlass: This SOS contradicts your new declared status . But bros,not joining issues with you. Show some decorum as advised. Sheath your sword.

P.S There might be senior citizens here too you know.

Yes that was intended to make y'all see I needed your attention. I know nothing about NSE, and dad has asked me to find away to work on it so it doesn't just enter ghostmode..

kotlass: But you go proud gan o. Outburst unnecessary and uncalled for. Especially when you need help, always be humble. Na you know wetin you dey find.

Dude what's ur definition of 'being proud' and 'humble'? Read my first post in the previous page. I just needed help and sum deemed it fit to ridicule me...

And if you think I'm some kid...its best you know I'm in my late 20s....

Now to somone who's kind enough to help, the old man bought the shares at that time at the rate of 50k per unit and he bought shares worth N53,000.

From the lil knowlege I have, I belive the market at FCMB where he bought could be a lot better not withstanding the 2008 economic melt down, what is the rate of FCMB's share now and could someone give an estimate of what the share could worth now and advice if to sell it or still invest it?

Joysmart: I'm telling you it's so pathetic and annoying I can't understand how an able bodied man or woman can be leaving off popsy's pension

Now here's my problem with Nigerians...Did you read my profiles? I can be everything but I am not Jack of all trades...I am a blogger, a webdesigner and I coupled that with a 2.1 in Mechanical Engineering in 2013. Yet I am one who's to be reckoned with in the entertainment scheme.

I just ask because I believed there're professionals here and dad called me up to check on it for him. And I did point out my headache being my kidsis and that's dads headache too cos her fees are expensive.

I didn't have to explain myself before seeking for help and by seeking for help I didn't say I want to be an object of ridicle or debate. If you wanna help state it or you don't say a thing and let one who wants to help do so.

Elai147: The registrars will give answers to all your questions regarding the stock.

Please don't try to invest it on FTNCOCOA. First, you need to know if the share still exist by speaking with the registrars, get yourself a stockbroker and dematerialise the share certificate and then you can sell. Later you can come back here for advise on stock that you can reinvest the money on. While you are doing all these try to get as much knowledge as you can get on stock investing before you start investing. You should read from page one of this thread, it will help you a lot.

From page 1? This is the 401st page for fcuks sake...dayummm! I never read like that back in sch self..lol..

Joysmart: how many units are we talking about?

I don't really know the units...all I know is the shares were bought for around N53,000

Thanks guys!

But how do I know the. Value of the share now cos dad didn't spend much on it cos in 2002, N50,000 was sum sort of money but right now I don't know if the share still has value.

Is it possible to invest it on this FTN Cocoa I hear you guys gunning about? Enlighten a Stock Exchange toddler please?

Hello guys, I'm glas I saw this cos I've been looking for this over a year now.

My aging dad has a share he bought with the now defunct First Inland Bank (Now FCMB). The shares have been lingering with no one monitoring it.

He bought the shares over 10years ago and no one monitors it, none of us have an idea about shares or stock broking.

Last year we received a letter from FCMB reminding us about the share. Please what do we do?

The old man retired over 10yrs ago and his savings has been what's been keeping us. He's been hoping on pension but the bleeping FG we got haven't looked his way.

I was just thinking there's hope the share would have multiplied. Please help out. I still have a kid sister in school that needs to be taken care of, she's my biggest concern. Thanks!

Merylicious I just sent u a nairaland email.

About 60 Nigerians have been quarantined by the Cameroonian government according to a report from Cameroon. The Cameroonian Ministry of health however released the Nigerians after just two weeks after they tested negative to the virus.

From CIN:

The nearly sixty Nigerian quarantined in localities Ekondo Titi and Ekok in the Southwest Region were released last Thursday, September 4 at the direction of the Minister of Public Health, André Mama Fouda . The decision of the head of the health comes after a working visit he paid in the region on Tuesday in order to ensure the implementation of the response plan to the disease Ebola.

Nigerians under surveillance were released after testing negative to the virus hemorrhagic fever. They will eventually spend two weeks in quarantine instead of the 21 days previously announced which corresponded to the incubation period of the disease. The press has denounced the course of the week the treatment of these people in the camps where they were placed. Inadequately housed and ill-fed, they would have had a holiday from hell to Cameroon - Nigerian border .

The Minister of Health has insisted during his tour of the region on the strict surveillance of borders, the South -West sharing with Nigeria, a country already affected by the disease (5 cases), a significant number of miles land and maritime borders.

Nigerian troops have recaptured Bama town from the islamic sect according to new reports today. Troops were said to have gained access yesterday to “push in” against the insurgents after the Brigade Commander of Mohammed Kur Barracks, the Area Commander of Police, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) and Commandant of MOPOL 53 in Bama relocated to Maiduguri to re-strategise and have now reportedly regained the town and returned calmness.

This is coming after more fighter jets and sophisticated equipment were deployed in the town which is Borno State’s second largest and 67 kilometres to Maiduguri, the state capital.

The telephone service in Bama has been completely cut off because the insurgents destroyed most GSM masts in all the villages and points leading to Bama.

“Those in Maiduguri were able to communicate with few military officers, troops and security agents at the “battle front” through the Cameroonian MTN network which miraculously has assisted.

“So, we have to divert our call through Cameroon through a special link. So, you can imagine the terrible condition the people and residents of Bama are facing.” A source said
