Please, as best as you can in plain simple English,What happens to shareholders?

Shareholders?

CBN's action is to protect depositors and not shareholders.

So all shareholders loose.

I sold all of my  stocks from those rescued banks on on Monday.

I never knew they will liquidate on Friday.

I was just lucky.

Even the subject of debate is no push over.She has paid her dues

Mercy Johnson (N55 million)

When many argued whether there would be another star like Genevieve, along came the fierce and hot Mercy Johnson. At the moment she remains the most controversial actress in Nollywood. The movie, The Maid, was not enough to woo Nollywood fans to her, but 19 Mackaulay Street revealed her to be the latest Nollywood revelation. Since then she has never looked back. Many argue that the tens of movie scripts that come her way are due to the fact that she’s is not a glo ambassador, but the actresses does not see it that way.
In the past three years she appeared in more movies than any other Nollywood actress. By 2008 Mercy Johnson had appeared in fifteen movies and earned N11.4 million from movies alone. The following year, she earned N13 million and she featured in the Emen Isong hit movie Guilty Pleasures. She is also an investor in properties and she is about to complete two houses at the moment. She also owns about six landed properties in lagos.

Sorry the Mercy Johnson i know is not worth that amount.

How would you say Mercy Johnson earn N13 million on a movie, how many people buy Nigerian movies even in Nigeria.

I see most one of them on daily basis, you would be surprised to know how they live.

Ordinary endorsement from a Telco i.e Glo, Etisalat, is more than their five years income on set.

ITS BEING CONFIRMED!!! FASHOLA IS USELESS JUST LIKE TINUBU WAS USELESS. I USED TO THINK FASHOLA THINKS; NOW I KNOW HE'S JUST AN AREA BOY'S FORMER LAWYER.

BETWEEN JANUARY 2011 AND JUNE 2011 CEMENT PRICES WENT FROM 1600 TO 2300(N700 INCREMENT OR 43% INCREMENT). WHAT DID FASHOLA AND THE GOATS IN THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY DO ABOUT THIS? NOTHING, COS GOATS DON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING.

TO PROCESS A C OF O IN FASHOLA'S CIVIL SERVICE NOW TAKES AN AVERAGE OF 18 MONTHS DESPITE HIS LIE THAT IT SHOULD TAKE NO MORE THAN 1 MONTH. WHAT HAS HE DONE ABOUT THE EXHORBITANT FEES YOU ARE ASKED TO PAY BY HIS TOUTS AKA CIVIL SERVANTS BEFORE YOU GET YOUR C OF O? WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT GET YOUR BUILDING APPROVAL WITHOUT HAVING HAVING A C OF O?

ITS EASY TO MOUTH OFF ON NL AS A BLOODY TENANT!!! TRYING BUILDING A HOUSE IN THIS CRAZY CITY CALLED bleeping LAGOS!!! YOU PAY ANYTHING FROM 5-10% OF THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE HOUSE TO AREA BOYS IN THE GUISE OF ALL KINDS OF PAYMENTS DEMANDED FROM YOU. TRY SIGNING ANY LAND DOCUMENT AND THE STATE GOVERNMENT EXPECTS THE ORIGINAL LAND OWNERS TO CO-SIGN WITH YOU!!!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SH-IT!!!! THE LAND IS YOURS, YOU BOUGHT IT 10 YEARS AGO FROM SOME USELESS SLO-B AND WHEN YOU WANT TO GET A C OF O, THE GOVT EXPECTS YOU TO GET THAT SLO-B TO CO SIGN FORMS FOR YOU?

EVEN IF YOU CAN BUILD YOUR HOUSE IN 1 YEAR, THE LIKELY COST VARIATION IS AT LEAST 20-25%. WHATS THE IMPACT OF THIS ON YOUR FINANCING?

DO YOU THINK ITS EASY TO ACCUMULATE 7M FOR A BUNGALOW AND FOR SOME SHI-T TENANT TO THINK WITHOUT HIS RENT, YOU CANNOT SURVIVE?

HOW ABOUT SPENDING 30M TO BUILD 4 3-BEDROOM FLAT AND SOME FOOL THINKS COS HE'S PAYING YOU 800K/ANNUM(N3.2M), YOU SHOULD WORSHIP HIM COS YOU CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT HIM? IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 10 YEARS TO GET ENOUGH RENT TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE HOUSE. WHERE DOES ALL THE MAINTENANCE COST COME FROM? WHAT ABOUT THE PROFIT FOR BUILDING THAT HOUSE?

THIS LAW HAS FAILED FROM THE START.  AND FASHOLA IS SOOO SOOOOO SCREWED FROM THIS POINT IN TIME.

HAVE YOU NOT NOTICED THAT THE TEMPO OF ACTIVITIES HAS GREATLY REDUCED IN LAGOS? TINUBU ABRACADABRA IS FAILING!!!!

CROOKED RUBBISH POLITICIANS.

Just STFU DUMB ONE.

Were you forced to live in Lagos?

The law did not reduce housing rent, it just stipulate the way rents should be paid.

If the-same tenant stay in house for 2 years he will still pay his rent ad the land lord still make profit.

What are people complaining about?

Kate Henshaw-Nuttall (N67 million)
Humble and hardworking, she is what one may call the silent millionaire. She became one of the actresses to try out other ventures. Spared by the tabloids’ bashing, the African Movie Academy 2008 Best Actress winner has graced the screen of Nigerian television like an amazon. The screen star who also has an 8-year old daughter, Gabrielle, is a business woman to the core. Although she often appears classy, she spends wisely on what she wears and only travels abroad for business rather than pleasure. She does not drive very expensive cars and she lives a purely average and normal life. The Cross River-born star has her own company which specialises in different businesses but with blas in real estate. She currently has three buildings and several landed properties scattered all over the country[b]. By 2006 she had earned N10 million and the following year, she reached N12 million. She has never looked back since then. The warm and beautiful star is also a model, presently a Glo Ambassador and face of Onga (brand from Promasidor) and has since earned a whopping N20 million between 2008 and 2010. Plans are also underway for her to commence the production of her own movies.[/b]

Sorry are you comparing Kate Henshaw-Nuttall with Mercy Johnson?

Because we are talking about Mercy Johnson here.

For info 70%  of Kate Henshaw-Nuttall's income are not from Movies  but from Advert,Sponsorship e.t.c

Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson spent the Valentine’s Day weekend in Liberia. Mercy caused a major frenzy when she arrived at the Roberts International Airport in Monrovia. The star who travelled with members of her team including her manager and publicists was welcomed by press photographers, airport officials and airline staff, many of whom rallied around to take photos and get autographs from the Nigerian star. During her time in Monrovia, Mercy gave interviews to a cross-section of local press including Magic FM, Truth FM and Sky TV. A special event was organized in her honour, this was an opportunity for Mercy to meet and connect with her Liberian fans. It was an exciting trip for the Nigerian star and definitely highlights the Pan African and global potential for Nollywood to become Nigeria’s most relevant cultural export.

Now that she is back on Nigerian soil, Mercy is dishing out something new to fans. She has just released a brand new set of promotional photographs and BellaNaija.com has the exclusive scoop.

2-Year Rent Banned In Lagos, Assembly Passes Tenancy Law

Any landlord in Lagos State who collects rent in excess of one year in advance from a new tenant would be prosecuted by the state government and upon conviction face three years in jail.

Gov. Raji Fashola
This is contained in the new tenancy bill that was passed into law by the State House of Assembly today. The law, which is expected to receive the assent of Governor Babatunde Fashola any moment from now, also stipulates that it is unlawful and criminal for a landlord or his agent to demand or receive from a sitting tenant, rent in excess of six months in respect of any premises without prejudice to the nature of tenancy.
This means that those who are already tenants are not expected to pay more than six months in advance to their landlord. Hitherto, tenants were compelled to pay for even more than two years in some cases.
The bill places a fine of N100,000 or three years imprisonment on any landlord or new tenant who pays in excess of one year and N100,000 or three months imprisonment for any landlord who fails to issue a receipt to a tenant for payment of rent.
Some of the lawmakers who commented on the law this morning explained that the receipt would enable the authorities to monitor compliance with the law by the landlords. They said they were aware of the dubious activities of some landlords, adding that the new law was amended to take care of those areas.
The bill captioned: “A bill for a law to regulate rights and obligations under tenancy agreement and the relationship between landlord and the tenant including the procedure for the recovery of premises and for other connected purposes in Lagos State,” states that “it shall be unlawful for a sitting tenant to offer or pay rent in excess of one year for a yearly tenant in respect of any premises and any person who receives or pays rent in excess of what is prescribed by the law shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine of N100,000.”
The bill consisting of 47 sections takes a critical look at the relationship between the landlord and tenant and allocates rights and privileges to both parties. It also spells out their obligations. Among such rights is tenant’s entitlement to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the premises, which include privacy, freedom from unreasonable disturbance, noise pollution and nuisance, as well as exclusive possession of the premises, subject to the landlord’s restricted right of inspection.
The law also emphasises that a landlord must send a written letter to a tenant whenever he wants to visit the apartment for inspection. Such letter, the law states, must state the time the inspection is to be conducted in order to give the tenant ample time to prepare for the exercise.
The law also gives a tenant the privilege to furnish or install accessories within a property to fit his/her taste. The bill was earlier passed by the House and forwarded to Governor Fashola for assent, but the Governor returned it to the House last week with a recommendation that some grey areas in the bill be looked into.
The grey areas include a section of the bill to be explicit on who bears the professional fees incurred at the commencement of tenancy and some other sections that cover the internally generated revenue of the state.
These areas were deliberated upon by a six-man committee headed by Hon. Rotimi Olowo, representing Somolu Constituency 1.
Section 7 (subsection now mandates the landlord to be responsible for “professional fees or commission of the landlord’s agent, consultant, solicitor or any other person acting for and on behalf of the landlord, incurred at the commencement of the tenancy.”

Al-Mustapha suffering from hallucination – Falana
By Kunle Falayi
Friday, 5 Aug 2011



Lagos lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, has described the allegations by the ex-Chief Security Officer of the late General Sani Abacha, Major Hamzat Al-Mustapha as induced by “prolonged detention hallucination.”


Falana told our correspondent during a telephone interview on Thursday that Al-Mustapha only wanted to curry the sympathy of the public.


He said, “His allegations are diversionary and designed to whip up unnecessary sentiment and make the public lose sight of the gruesome murder of Mrs. Kudirat Abiola, which is the subject of this trial.


“I represented the Abiola family at the Oputa Commission of Enquiry. On the many occasions he gave evidence on the illegal killing of General Sani Abacha and Chief M.K.O. Abiola, he never linked the late Chief Bola Ige and Pa. Abraham Adesanya to the killing and neither did he accuse them of connivance.”


The lawyer said Al-Mustapha should have made his allegation when Ige and Adesanya were both still alive.


Falana said, “A Yoruba adage says it is a liar who says his witness is in heaven. following the cold murder of Mrs Kudirat Abiola on June 4, 1996, Pa Adesanya, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Pa Ore Onasanya and Chief Ige were arrested by Al-Mustapha and detained on the allegation that they conspired to kill the lady.


“When those allegations collapsed, Kola Abiola was arrested under the guise that Kudirat was killed as a result of a family feud. Miss Hafsat Abiola had to come out to say her brother could not have killed her mother.”


He also made a reference to the brutal murder of Pa. Alfred Rewane in his house at GRA Ikeja, Lagos.


Falana said, “The armed goons who perpetrated those dastardly act had given evidence in court where they admitted before the Oputa Commission of Enquiry that they were agents of Al-Mustapha.


“The ongoing trial pertains specifically to the cold murder of Kudirat. All efforts to implicate the victims of the massive repression of that time are dubiously designed by a man who is suffering from prolonged detention hallucination to divert the course of justice.


“The fact that the Adesanya and Ige met with Gen. Abdusalam Abubakar was in the public domain. Let him show the footage of when he claimed money exchanged hands between the deceased and Abubakar.”


According to the human rights activist, M.K.O Abiola was detained in dehumanising conditions for four years in a custody supervised by Al-Mustapha. He said even Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa lamented the terrible state in which he found Abiola when he visited Nigeria.


He said, “I was allowed to see him. He told the world he met an Abiola whose health was greatly impaired and could die anytime. At that time, he had fallen down in the bathroom and had a broken ankle. He was in excruciating pain as he was denied medical attention, which he offered to pay for himself.”


“On one occasion, Abiola’s personal physician, Dr. Ore Falomo, offered to see him on passionate grounds. Al-Mustapha ordered the doctor’s detention at the Kaduna Prisons.


“The evidence presented at the Oputa Commission of Enquiry was that the remote cause of Abiola’s death was the criminal denial of medical attention while the immediate cause was the mysterious tea that terminated his life. Our evidence was backed by scientific proof. We established a strong case to prove Abiola was murdered by the Nigerian state

[quote author=Βουκέφαλος link=topic=727401.msg8860323#msg8860323 date=1312543277]Gbam!!! you spoke my mind.

Hey you young guys!!!. I understand your feelings.

Anyone who thinks getting Marriage is all about being caged is nothing but a nonentity.  Sorry, if that hurts!

One thing you people fail to realise is that as far as LIFE is concern - there is something called "T-I-M-E". You cant be a youth forever. Two they say, is better than one - though it comes with its UPs and DOWNs. Yea, thats how the world is created. Sometime its sweet and some times it bitter. Anyone, who would always want LIFE to be "Bed of Roses" is either a clown of himself or he/she is not ready to face the reality of life. Being TWO, when one falls, the other helps thats how GOD intelligently and fundamentally created the workings of Human Being. It would have been very possible if the factor of T-I-M-E is not included in the equation of man. But so sorry, TIME will soon catchup with you and before you say "JACK ROBINSON" - You are gone.

Who believe say "MIKE TYSON" fit broke?? Ohh, meaning you never knew what could happen to all your riches and bla bla, There is NO WAY in LIFE you wouldn't need an HELPING HAND. Its darm IMPOSSIBLE, I repeat darm IMPOSSIBLE.

Sincerely, anyone who is afraid of getting marriage is afraid of being RESPONSIBLE.

6 years into the school of marriage is no joke. Come and learn, Chicken hearted fellas!!!!!!!!!!

Wetin I dey do here sef, hisssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!



Please na who be this Noise maker?? Mr married man  [/quote]Age has got nofing to do with marriage .

Both old and young can decide to marry or stay single.

But the truth is that marriage does not determine the future.

Married peeps who divorcé might end up becoming single.

Married peeps who loose loved ones also end up becoming single.

Anyhow you look at it must peeps will still die single weather they are married or not.

For the married  one person outlive to other, then sorrow sets in.

For the single life just continue.

The most important thing is not the marriage, but life well spent.

una own different o.

I don fix date, buy wedding clothes, buy, ring, cakes, food and drinks, send out IVs, notify priest. Na only the wife wey i wan marry naim remain

Welcome to modern-day slavery.

Imaging spending all that monies, going through all the stress, just for a woman to enjoy freely.

If married is companionship you shouldn't be the only one going through all the stress.

It is just bondage .

abdulsalam gave bribe and they collected

temptation isn't it

if the devil tempt you and you accept

who is at fault

you or the devil, and who is God going to punish. You of course

so stop blaming the devil here[/quote]ha ha, so you agree that Abdulsalam is the devil.

Since the devil(Abdulsalam) is still alive.

He can be arrested  for bribery.

After-all bribery is a crime.

youngmonie:
To be truthfull yea, i dnt think Abdulsalam has any fault here, apart from laundering billions and stored it underground in minna, im sure dat the same thing IBB did!!,  But if he (Mustapha) is right that some yoruba elders collected money then dat is betrayal in d highest order. But  im guessing the  Judges should be smart enough to know  that they are trying to chnage the game  by bringing up this issues

Sorry, Abdulsalam is the one giving the bribe here.

Bribery is a crime.

Which means he is also involved in Abiola's death.

And since he(Abdulsalam)  is the only one alive to know about the bribery saga.

Then it is logical to question him(Abdulsalam).

youngmonie:
This guy and his lawyers are very very very smart people!!. If we look at the issue at hand, this guy is on trial FOR THE SUSPECTED MURDER OF KUDIRAT ABIola. And then in the media we hear he started his defence by releasing the video evidence and mentioning certian peoples name. I jus want to know how this tape is related to the murder of Kudirat or how it proves him innocent. In my opinion, fine the evidence MAY be true but they jus aim to throw EVERYONE AND THE WHOLE CASE INTO CONFUSION.!!

True talk my brother.

As you can see some tribal bigots here are already quoting IBB.

I wonder why the same people are not criticising the man behind the whole saga, General Abdusalam Abubakar!!!

beeke:
No matter wot Ige's Son thinks about Al-Mustapha allegations, one think is clear and indisputable and that is simple: Yoruba Man Iscariot

I know blinded tribal bigot like you will come here.

Better go read your book.

[quote author=onye_ngbu* link=topic=727278.msg8853635#msg8853635 date=1312464168]Thats why I said you guys should just wait for the video first.

Oya what can u say now about this 'video' report from our dear sahara reporters.[/quote]Did video proved they collected the bribe?

He only mentioned Chief Abraham Adesanya, Chief Bola Ige in the bribery saga and left out Ayo Opadokun .

So tell me how did Chief Abraham Adesanya, Chief Bola Ige collected the bribe without the involving Ayo Opadokun.

2mch:
As far as i am concerned he is really rambling in circles. He is not saying anything because these people are dead. Surely not only two people can share $200million, so he needs more proof of people alive. Bola Ige and Adesanya didnt have the clout to rouse tensions and frankly they do not fit the bill. I am convinced this man is acting out of spite because Yoruba's are prosecuting him. So he is trying to destabilize the Yoruba's and divert attention from the fact that he killed Kudirat. He has also pointed out Abdulsalam as the real killer of Abiola. I think Yoruba's should focus on these two facts. Abdulsalam should be arrested and tried for the murder of Abiola.  Al mustapha and Sofolahan should be sentenced to life in jail for the murder of Kudirat.

ol boy hear yourself.

Swallow what? What are u swallowing. The man only made an allegation (which will be hard to prove) but then offered to prove it with a video. Why not let him show the video first.

How are you swallowing what you havent even seen?!!

You guys should wait for the video to come out first abeg![/quote]Even if the video evidence is true .

The major culprit here is Abdulsalam.

It means Abdulsalam has an influential role in Abiola's murder.

It means Abdulsalam give the bribe to pacify those dead Yoruba leader.

All these noise should be focused on Abdulsalam and not those dead Yoruba leader.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=727278.msg8853372#msg8853372 date=1312461627]is it ? I did not know that i thought if the police is offered a bribe, but the bribe was not taken then the person that was offering the bribe is the offener

but if the bribe was taken, then the person the bribe was given to is the offerner in this case. Not sure but pls clarify[/quote]Both the giver and taker of bribe are criminals.

It is called Bribery.

Abdulsalam(bribe giver) is as guilty as the dead ones(takers).

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=727278.msg8853270#msg8853270 date=1312460821]To me, I don't think the bribe giver is meant to be arrested

it is the bribe takers that should be arrested for collecting the bribe at the first place

although no evidence yet but if those yoruba leaders are the ones, then in every right they should be arrested[/quote]Bros, I thought both the bribe giving and taking is criminal.

So why are you shielding the Abdulsalam.

Above all the money he use is not his personal money.

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=727278.msg8853019#msg8853019 date=1312458906]why abdulsalam

was he the one that collected the money[/quote]Abdulsalam is the bribe giver here and he is the only one alive among the culprits.

Al-Mustapha, who opened his defence in his ongoing trial alleged that he had documentary evidences to show that the then Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria to release various sums of money that was subsequently given to the southwest leaders to pacify them.

He should be questioned.

[quote author=onye_ngbu* link=topic=727278.msg8852966#msg8852966 date=1312458473]Why are you guys scared of what the video will show even before you see it?

Are you afraid that it might rubish people you respect?

Why did this judge suddenly start to experience heat when the video is about to be played?

Questions Questions Questions Questions[/quote]I see some peeps trying to bring tribe into these.

If any body should be arrested for that video evident- It should be Abdulsalam and not any Yoruba man.

He is under trial for the murder of Kudirat Abiola, let him defend himself instead of diverting attention.

There is a procedure on how to sort out any ATM related issue, First fill a compliant form at any branch of your bank starting your card details and what happened and give the bank time to work and it.

We have followed the-same procedure the past 2 month but the cash is yet to be returned.

Still available

Igbos are not learning from history.

So they expect a Yoruba man to fold his hand, while an IGBO man rule over all the Obas, Baales, and other Youruba elders.

They seems to have forgotten the 1953 Kano Riot , which lead to the civil war.

One of problem is that some women sees their bodies and no their brain as assets.

Since there are ready made market(men) to buy their products(body).

So they sell to the highest bidder
