Nigeria’s Foreign Reserved Reserves Reaches $34.7 Billion

https://punchng.com/nigerias-fx-reserves-hit-34-7bn/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social#google_vignette

For a country of over 200m people, this is a poor savings.
It can be used up within 2 months of forex demand if they are to attend to everyone's request.
While countries like Saudi, UAE, Qatar, morroco, Algeria have close to a trillion reserve or more, Nigeria is still dancing around 35b USD. They are even so greedy to allow it to climb to just a meagre $50b

Mankind2024:
It still seems strange to me that people consider sharing a screenshot of their portfolio to be unusual. The app I use for NYSE automatically displays the portfolios of any investors I follow or like, similarly on E-toro that restrict Nigerians to CFD/trade accounts. Any securities instrument clicked on will show people's portfolios and market beaters sharing their experiences on how they outperformed the market. I don't feel guilty sharing my portfolio on a faceless forum. I will share my portfolio the day I reach N300M in NGX and $100K in NYSE to motivate others. Investment analysis goes beyond just TA/FA dichotomy. My mission is to inspire and motivate people.

Bro, pls which app or site do you use to analyze Nigeria stocks?
I mean the one that will give the correct balance sheet, income statement figures and use it to calculate for P/E, PBV etc because invest.com and tradeview.com are always giving wrong figures different from the company's financial statements

Please house, i noticed there is always a discrepancy between figures i see online for stock report analysis by some sites like tradeview, invest.com and others compared to what the company actually reported.
See attached below.
Picture 1 from website and Picture 2 a snipet of Access bank report for FY 2023.
The figures don't tally

Pls does anyone know When Isreal will invade Lebanon? I have been waiting since.

When the US gives the greenlight but for now, the US can't because she fears her Carrier ships would be targeted by Russian missiles as retaliation.
Until US gets the firm greenlight from Russia they won't strike their carrier ships, the US won't give Isreal the greenlight to invade

Oh, good. I have a letter of sponsorship from my employer. Also, I have a copy of my appointment letter that show my salary. Will that do?

It is

Jacksonkatie:
Thanks for your response. Do I need to go with statement of account of my employers?

They won't even check it.
They just want to know your purpose of traveling, monthly salary to see if you worth traveling and will come back and travel history.
Attestation letter from company will help too

TouchNfollow:
Ofcourse.....Nigeria is already unrecognisable within a year.

⚡The General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces is reportedly urging Israeli Political Leadership, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, towards discussions of a Total Halt in Ground Operations soon within the Gaza Strip, with Top Military Officials believing a Halt is needed to allow Israeli Forces to Recuperate before an Imminent Invasion of Southern Lebanon and possible Full-Scale War with Hezbollah.

This is exactly my point.
The plan of Iran and Hezbollah is to take the heat off hamas so that they can recoup and they take some because under normal condition, isreal has a edge over Hezbollah

Good morning Sir Emma
Please check your mail, I sent you a message 🙏

Hello bro.
Have checked and read your mail.
I will think about it and get back to you by mail

nodetest:
Thanks for the response. Did you get any email or tracking number? I submitted via DHL and it was delivered on Friday morning but till now I haven't gotten any confirmation or feedback.

Was it like that for you?

Yes, I always receive regular alerts on my mail regarding the progress of my submitted passport.
I think you should too.

Greetings to all the gurus in the house. I urgently need your assistance as Im trying to apply ( study visa) for my 3 children (ages 13,12 & cool but the forms on ircc is a little bit confusing especially form imm 5257 .Please, i need assistance of those that knows how i can go about.I created an account using the gckey

I think the student visa thread is the best for that and not visit visa thread

House34:
No, you can attach ur office letter, promotion letter to that spot it does not matter anywhere ur office is located..even u can merge document together to create more room to upload additional document .the visa officer will view it as a single long form all merge together by ircc software. Have done that when applying for friends and family and it ok

You are right.
I applied using my company's letter head and address in Mauritius and I was given.
So he should upload his company attestation and letter head

nodetest:
Congratulations. When did you submit your passport and when did you get it back? How long did it take?

I submitted last week Thursday and ready on Monday but picked it up yesterday

Kossyfelicia:
ok. Thanks, her statement of account she gave me is 7k$ in her union bank municipal. Will it fly??

I just got my canada visit visa and will advise you not to use your sister account statement as POF.
Who sponsors a family for vacation? it looks somehow and not convincing.
If it is study, it is understandable but for holiday? it looks somehow.
Try and raise your account to 5,000 Canadian dollars equivalent as a minimum.
If possible, why not build your travel history a bit maybe to south africa or morroco first.
From the look of things, chances are high you won't come back so prove them wrong.
3 things to consider -

- Travel histroy
- monthly income
- Nature or work or company you work for.

Submission of application: May 30, 2024
Biometrics email received: May 31, 2024
Biometrics done: June 7, 2024
Final decision: June 17, 2024
Passport request email: June 17, 2024

............................

When i applied, i did not have a US visa but got my US visa on June 7th and raised a web form to update my application on 11th June.
I don't know if the US visa counted for my quick reply but all i know is that as at the time i applied and did biometrics, i had no US visa.
I was given 8 years visiting visa.

Thanks to all who have contributed on this thread, your information really helped me.

LordAdam16:
Do you think the Ukrainian lines are in any danger of organically collapsing within the next one year?
I don't mean being pushed back (which is happening in some sectors) but a full-blown rout.
If your answer is no, then they can keep feeding the meat grinder.

Z will get a longer runway if Biden wins re-election.
If Trump returns, he'd have six months tops and be in grave personal danger.
The settlement statement is him putting up a contingency plan if the latter were to happen.

You have to cover your bases when you're responsible for pushing more than 1.5m of your countrymen to their deaths in an unwinnable war that ends with the same terms you flat out refused prior to the war and permanent loss of some of the most valuable real estate in the country.
In pre-1946 Japan, he'd be counting the days until he has to perform seppuku alongside his wife and top advisors.

🚨🚨 BREAKING – Algerian authorities have confirmed a massive deployment of Libyan troops on their border

“Give back our land, or we will take it by force”, the Libyan army issues an
ultimatum to Algeria.

Libya that is yet to be stable is still dipping her hands in another war.
Misplaced priority as if they will even develop the land they want to fight for and shed many bloods like western countries. No, it will be another shit hole to loot the resources

Mille:
Hezbollah has and can fight Israel pound for pound. The problem is just that they are an organization and not a state, and does not have the support of most in Lebanon. I can only imagine if the Lebanese Army will try to defend its territory if and when Israel invades Lebanon.

Like you said whoever controls the air controls the war and how it is fought. Hezbollah has tunnels, advanced missiles and drone, and has said it has air defense capabilities. But unless we see them in action, they are just words. Btw, I don't see a direct war happening anytime soon cos unlike Hamas, Hezbollah can attack Israel directly and have the war fought on both territories. Every threat on Beirut and Lebanon happening now is to build pressure on Hezbollah and have the Lebanese populace turn against it so the shelling on Northern Israel can stop.

Well, let's see how it unfolds.

Procashtips:
Waiting to see how everything pans out.

We're in for a long ride... Hezbollah the known namesis.

To the best of my knowledge, Hezbollah can't match isreal in war because isreal has a big edge over them both in weapons and finance.
Moreover, you can't defeat an enemy that controls the air in battle, reason why Ukraine has been finding it hard to resist Russia but I believe the aim of making isreal fight Hezbollah is to take the heat off Hamas.
Hamas has being receiving alot of heat since last year October and they really need that break to regroup.
So that break isreal will be engaged with Hezbollah is really needed to distract the isrealis.
It is a war strategy that is important.
We all know Hezbollah can't fight isreal

Vic2023:
⚡🇵🇸 Israeli Army Radio:

The army estimates that Hamas is re-establishing weapons production workshops, and according to them there is no problem in Gaza obtaining explosives, as they are available in large quantities and on hand - Hamas is also trying to use the remnants of air force bombs that were launched but did not explode - senior army officials estimate that approximately 50,000 bombs that the Israeli Air Force has dropped on the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, about 5% of them did not explode, meaning that about 2,000 to 3,000 bombs fell and Hamas could use them as raw materials.

Assessment in the army: If there is a long-term ceasefire in the fighting as part of a ceasefire prisoner exchange deal, Hamas will be able to significantly rehabilitate its military production system.

@medmannews

Isreal is really in a tight corner with the groups surrounding them.
It's really really going to be a long ride for them

Mali’s Goita Accuses France Of Printing Counterfeit CFA Francs In Repeat Of 1960 ‘Operation Persil’

This was France's foreign counter-espionage agency printed millions of fake Guinean franc notes and flooded Guinea with them in 1960 to punish Sekou Touré for leaving the CFA Union and opening a Guinean central bank.

Known as "Operation Persil," it destroyed Guinea's economy.

How can you put your economy in the hands of foreigners in the first place? When you claim to be independent.
How can another country be printing your own money? In this era

Now you've switched to survivability?, The example i gave regarding the introduction of cars was as a result of your outright cry of "stealthiness"


You think a diesel-electric submarine uses diesel engine as the main source of navigation?
The diesel engine is primarily to recharge the batteries when low, more like a backup power.

hypothetically speaking, If those battries could last for 5months without recharge, the need for a nuclear powered submarines will drop, and the sea will become scarier because when the diesel engine is not operational, a hybrid submarines is more steather.

I don't need to argue with you again on this subject again, don't say i did not correct you.

I don't know if a diesel-electric submarine operates differently from a diesel -electric ship but from my experience working on a Diesel -electric ship for about 4 years now, this is how it works compared to conventional diesel ship -
The diesel -electric ship uses diesel to power it's generators which inturn powers it's electric motors that powers the propulsion and everything on ship while a conventional ship uses diesel to start it's main engines that power the propulsion engines while generators work by the side powering electrical equipment onboard.
I doubt ships run on batteries alone for propulsion. Batteries are used to power critical equipment onboard that uses 220/440v and not heavy equipment or propulsion engines like propellers and rudders not steering gears

Appleyard:
The likes of Kissinger would be shifting in their graves. Driving Russia and China into forging a near unbreakable alliance is already one of US worst strategic mistakes of the 21st century. But, driving states like NK and Iran to get access to advanced technology via mutual and strategic collaboration with perceived west enemies such as Russia and China, while pissing off traditional regional allies like the Saudis is a new low for US myopic foreign policy.

This is truly regrettable and history would be very hard against the current Biden's administration.

I think the saudis are just bluffing.
They are not that reliable.
The reason they took that action is because they feel so jealous about the way US helped Isreal during the iran missile attacks.
They feel they deserve better despite all they have done for the US.
They are the backbone of US hegemony with the backing of US dollars with saudi oil.
They believe they have given more than enough compared to what isreal gives US.
Isreal is a leaking basket that consumes US money year in year out compared to what they are sacrificing for US so they believe they deserve better.
A promise of iron clad defence to saudis with supplying them with the needed modern weapons and nuclear ones will make them change mouth immediately.
They are not meant to be trusted.

pansophist:
Congrats bro, I am glad you could get the visa, and I am happy the advice I gave work.

The idea that an applicant needs an agency to apply on your behalf is wrong. Agents are very dangerous because you don't know what documents they can slip into your file, or if they can represent you well.

Agents can also be dumb, and many of them are very dumb. I have compiled visa applications for many people, go with them to the embassy, and wait outside for them to go in, and I sometimes talk to some of these agents that brought an applicant.

Asking basic questions, I realized it was a case of a one-eyed man leading the blind. The agents don't know how visa officers make decisions and the legal acts they are operating on.

Also, many of the applicants that were rejected should not be applying for visas in the first place. Visa sometimes can be ''try your luck'', but you will always get it if you are eligible for it.

Enjoy America sha. Avoid akata o, make them no go shoot you lol

Thanks bro.
I had to take the bold step when i realized agents will send me back to my village sooner or later if i continue using them.
Have wasted close to 10m on my 2 brothers between 2018 and this year using 5 different agents.
They always have sweet mouth and always convince me that it will click but at the end of the day, nothing.
If you spend 2m or 5m on a visa and it clicks, it won't pain you provided it clicks but after spending 2/5m yet nothing, you will feel like someone scammed of your hard earned money.
So i realized, it is better i learn this thing by myself whether i get it or not, i would have gotten more experience.
I spent only 200k for this visa i got (visa fee) while many agents told me to bring 1.5m, 2m, 5m for canada family visit visa while it won't take me more than 500k for that and 15m for canada LMIA processing.
At that rate, i will go broke and all these are not even guaranteed.
