Can you explain how the Houthis and Hezbollah are in any way worse than Israel and USA? Try not to be offended and answer the question as honestly as you can.

Jovi10:
This is the message. Stupid USA you didn't condemn Israel strike on the consulate but you're running up and down begging and asking people to beg Iran from retaliating . Very nonsensical USA.

🇮🇷🇺🇸“What is your message to Iran at this moment?” – journalists to US President Joe Biden

📝“As the United States, we are committed to protecting Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel. And Iran will not succeed,” Joe Biden responded.

Just looking at FOXO now and possible thing that may happen, they currently have 8m+ total shares and free float of 4m+. Possible scenario:
They will do RS of 1:10 which will bring the free float to 450k units then they will pump to stupor then do dilution before the share price goes down just like HOLO wit free float of 1m HOLO was pumped to 100$ before flogging now going back to 2$. Just assumption oo cos I usually look at worst case scenario. Newbies known when to leave in such case else you becomes bag holders

Just my own analysis ooo

Cross deal can only be done by a broker, it also passes through the trading machine, but it not thrown to the open market. Take for example Mr A give a sale order of 1,000 units of Transcorp and Mr B give a purchase order 5,000 unit of Transcorp to Morgan capital and the stock is on full bid. The broker will internally sell the stocks to Mr B within the current price range.

It also happen in a situation where volume of trade has been agreed BTW two parties at a predetermined rate within the price range.
The main thing to note is that it won't be thrown to the open market for queue.

It sounds simple and appealing in theory, but the reality of war is far more complex. While you highlighted countries that have been devastated by such tactics and didn't recover, you overlooked those that did survive such bombings. Additionally, it's worth noting that while the combination of Israel and the US may possess significant military capabilities, Iran is not as vulnerable as Libya to intimidation. Even smaller countries like Yemen have endured heavy bombing and continue to grow. Furthermore, Iran's lack of a border with Israel means that any attack it faces, Israel will likely face in return, especially in terms of air strikes.

yMcy56:
It's cross deals at bargain price not dumping......that's my opinion though..... and what it looks like..

Despite the "punishment" for GTCo, heavy cross deals are still ongoing....

Some hefty cross deals in ZENITH @39/39+ too....

The 67M+ units costs N2.6bn only

Regex:
You have to look at something, everyone believed the USA to be superpower until time tested them in Afghanistan and Yemen(recently). You never know how powerful Iran's air defense is until it goes to war. Remember they built the drones pounding Ukraine now. No one knows the deal Iran made with Russia when it transferred the drone making technology to Russia. That the west couldn't decipher it is giving them sleepless night and they are itching to know. Just keep calm and watch. Iran survived sanctions, seized USA ships and nothing happened. They will pound Israel eh... Look at how Israel is messing up in Gaza... Bro no fear.

FoolishBoy419:
I read that part pretty well and I appreciate that you are willing to admit that the West goofed.

But I still maintain that religion and Arab culture are weak factors in the greater scheme of things. Saudi Arabia, Qarar, and the rest take religion just as seriously as the other regions. In fact, for the most part of the 20th century, Iran and Afghanistan were heavily westernized. Their women wore mini skirts and danced in beaches unlike in the gulf states until the West started interfering. Were the Taliban and Al Qaeda members not in living Afghanistan before this period? They were, but they had no power until someone paved way for them

Every society has monsters living among it and you only need to create the right conditions (anarchy, wars, etc) for them to rise and cause havoc with or without religion. They are using religion because everyone needs something to hang onto to justify his madness. Hitler didn't say he wanted to kill all Jews because he simply hate them. He cooked up excuses. The brainwashed foot soldiers might believe they are doing it for Allah or whoever, but their leaders know what's up.

The other areas you are talking about have not seen too much post-war violence because the West didn't do enough. In Southeast Asia and America, they directly intervened against North Korea, Vietnam, and others. They didnt arm one country against the other and in situations where they did (North Korea and South Korea), there's conflict similar to what we see in thr Middle East.
But they toppled too many regimes and armed different terrorists disguising as rebels multiple times to take out governments they don't like. They've bombed too many regions and favored certain sides in a conflict that needed sincere mediation from unbiased third parties. The people that love to sanction others for human rights played dumb for decades as Israel continuously escorted settlers with soldiers to seize homes from territories that had been designated for Palestinians by the United Nations. They don't care that these people are being murdered daily but one reaction (Oct 7) and they were all over the news portraying Palestinians as violent muslims that want nothing but the end of Israel. Look at how they are threatening Iran now while totally overlooking Israel's actions. How can any place on earth such these wide array of issues and not be on fire?

If you took out the oil in the middle East and moved it to Southern Africa and then let's say miraculously, those African leaders are not corrupt, You'll end up seeing different terrorist groups made of bloodthirsty Africans forming there.

Iran is currently safe from a ground invasion due to its immunity. This immunity is due to the fact that the countries sharing borders with Iran, including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Iraq, will not allow the US or Israel to use their territories for an invasion.

Furthermore, Israel lacks the military capability to invade Iran. It lacks the necessary ground troops and logistics for such an offensive. Israel is neither a regional nor a superpower, therefore, it cannot replicate what Russia did in Syria or what the US did in Afghanistan and Iraq. While the US can invade Iran, Iran's militerary strength is formidable and would discourage any superpower from even considering an invasion.

In order for the US to invade a country, it first needs to ensure that the country is weakened and defeated by launching an attack. This can be achieved by implementing certain measures, such as imposing economic sanctions on the country to prevent it from funding the war effort. However, countries like Russia and China, particularly those in the global south, may not permit the US to harm Iran economically and may even fight for Iran in the UN. Another way to weaken a country is to prevent it from acquiring new weapons. Iran produces weapons that are essential for its self-defense, such as drones and missiles.

Regex:
I can tell you for a fact, Iran is underestimated. What the west are trying to do is to understand Iran and know how to go about it. Iran used to be the most sanctioned country on earth but is still standing. This means, after fighting economically against Iran, she is still waxing strong. Iran was heavily sanctioned and prevented from buying weapons. She made her own! So the west are skeptical to be honest. They are trying to understand Iran.

Nigeria's productivity can not sustain a #250 rate.
This is not rocket science.

We are a country of 200m people pushing less than $5B in non-oil exports.
That's like an entire local government producing one tuber of yam.
Yet you want to build houses, you want to buy cars, you want to vacation and go to college abroad.
You also want subsidy on gasoline, electricity, and what not.

Who do you want to steal dollars from to purchase these things you need and want on the international market.

The CBN can peg the rate at whatever it likes. No one is stopping it from pegging at $1:N1.
After the peg though, it'll have to sustain the intervention when they need to provide a lot of dollars for few naira.
We'll see at that point if the NSA will go kidnap Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chairman, to force the US to print dollars for Nigeria.

soqmeov:
The plans are well laid out in this US government funded policy paper that was published in 2009.
"Leave it to Bibi"- Use Israel as a proxy to goad Iran to war and when Iran retaliates, blame Iran for "aggression" and invade. And with the world's media, and a host of blind, ignorant and mentally handicapped religious fanatics on your side, the image of an "aggressive", evil Iran battling "God's own people" won't be difficult to paint

LordAdam16:
Well, they've simultaneously awaken the Dragon, the Bear, and the Lion.
Whatever advantages they possess is on borrowed time.
Use it or lose it.

That's why they're baiting and provoking everyone.
From Ukraine to Taiwan.
Russia sha no gree for them because they can hold their own. But Iran will have to be more circumspect.
China has seen the writing on the Wall and is rapidly modernizing its military.

From EPS of N17.49k about the same EPS with GTB

pansophist:
Yes, and so?

Apart from visafree access, what other benefit does a British passport have? Tell me.

With 100k USD, I know how to utilise it and in few years, I will get the nationality of an EU country, its far better than British pali

LordAdam16:
You are far more certain than the Israelis taking unprecedented precautions.

-Lord

pansophist:
EU passport, maybe yes, but a UK passport? Hell NO.

After Brexit, the UK lost its competitiveness. The only usefulness of the UK passport is the visa-free travel it affords its carrier, unlike an EU passport that gives the holder rights to live and establish anywhere in the EU, just like moving to a different state in Nigeria.

Before, British students who didn't want to be in debt just for going to the university could maybe travel to Sweden or Norway where studying was free, but since they left the EU, they will pay expensively just like Nigerians.

100M abeg, British passport can go to hell.

To be Frank with you though it looks like a joke it looks like what is happening. Let ask ourselves why is Access bank the only bank that had it's audited financial account approved? Because the dividend payout to shareholders was so small from N17+ EPS you just gave paltry N2.10 to the owners of the bank and you are still coming to the same owners to ask for more money? Please judge this case. I know some others may be finding it difficult to get their account approved maybe because they want to reward their shareholders well and ask for more money so that their banks can expand make more money and pay them better dividend next time. That makes better sense. I pray that at the end of the day reasoning will prevail.
Let Access bank don't think it is over yet because the money they failed to pay their shareholders in dividends will be used in doing extensive marketing for their public offer or right issue. Secondary they will use their retained earnings to pump up their price before coming to the market.
On a more humorous note the saying that we are what we eat. I remembered one bank that had such characteristics before 2008. (Intercontinental bank) That was swallowed by access bank would I now say that Access bank is like what it eats......... Thanks.

ositadima1:

Yield to maturity (YTM) is a metric used to calculate the total return an investor can expect to earn if they hold a bond until its maturity date. It takes into account the bond's current market price, par value, coupon interest rate, and time to maturity. Here's a simple explanation:

Imagine you buy a 100 bond that pays 5% interest per year (the coupon rate). You pay 95 for this bond, which is less than its 100 par value at maturity.

The yield to maturity tells you what your total investment return will be if you hold this bond until it matures and you get paid the full 100 par value.

In this case, the yield is higher than the 5% coupon rate because you bought the bond at a discount of 95. The YTM calculation figures out what that higher annualized return is based on the purchase price, par value, coupon rate and years to maturity.

So if the YTM is say 6%, it means that with the 5 annual coupon payments plus the extra 5 you make from buying at a discount, you're earning an equivalent 6% annual return on your 95 investment by holding to maturity.

In simple terms, YTM is the true annual return you will make on a bond investment from the purchase date until the bond matures, accounting for the purchase price versus the par value.
