Politics / Re: Reps Move To Ban Sports Betting by Ghost01(m): 7:13pm On Feb 15
"NAN reports that Nigerians spend an estimated 975 million dollars daily on online sports betting, which amounts to about 356 billion dollars annually. (NAN)"


What is Nigeria's total GDP that this much alone is spent on sports betting annually? Another example of rubbish journalism.

Career / Re: NBA Rejects Agreement To Let UK Lawyers Practise In Nigeria by Ghost01(m): 6:34am On Feb 14
"I emphasised that we are not yet at a place for such an agreement and that even if are to enjoy reciprocity with the UK (which is not an acceptable position), the knowledge and skills gap is so wide that we cannot favourably compete with the lawyers from the UK."

How then do you intend to close the knowledge and skills gap if you are totally rejecting an avenue that would possibly allow our lawyers to work together with, and learn from, those who possess the requisite knowledge and skills?

Fact!!!
You spend so much millions just to be a third class citizen in another man's land...

A very senior banking in my former place of work. Who earns between 700k. Resign, sold some of his property to finance his travel.. today my former colleague is doing two jobs just to be able to take care of his family... The quality of his life there, can not be compared to when he was here... It's damn easier to make it here...take a personal vacation/business vacation to this country and get your brain refresh with new ideas.
Any idea u bring back is a new thing...
I don't know what you have to say... It's damn easier to make it in this country... If u can be diligent with this kind of money I want to waste in the name of Japa...
Lol. Definitely not a "very senior bank(er)." Besides, 700k today is not a globally competitive salary, even when you factor in our relatively 'cheap' cost of living.

The heading should read, "Highest Paid MD/CEOs of Publicly Listed Companies in Nigeria." There are definitely excos of private companies in Nigeria who earn more.

Wrong! World bank and IMF is certainly not controlled by america.
The President of the World Bank, since its inception, has always been an American while the Managing Director of the IMF, since its inception too, has always been an European.

Politics / Re: Lekki Toll Gate: Seyi Tinubu, Sunday Dare Exposed By Bank Documents - Peoples Ga by Ghost01(m): 8:58am On Feb 14, 2021
abasido1:
Based on your attachment, Loadstad has paid over 360m to LCC for the usage of their property for his advertising billboard in 3 years. LCC is a Government entity, Seyi is paying his levies and rent and generating revenue for LCC and you want to spin that into a conspiracy theory. If the transaction was the other way round, that is LCC os paying money to Loadstad it maybe suspicious but transaction shows that Loadstad is a responsible company paying its rent and levies on time.
The media company that published the statement, People's Gazette, knows that many in their audience will not bother to look at the evidence they are presenting, so they decided to spin a nonsensical story by presenting an evidence that actually invalidates their claim.

The statement shows debit entries passed into Loatsad's account(s) in favour of LCC. They are payments made by Loatsad to LCC, and not from LCC to Loatsad. Nothing to see here.

A lot of you know how to perpetuate rubbish and call it being intelligent. The state of affairs in Africa alone warrants that no public official should be in the same position for more tha years 2 terms. All these foreign leaders you've mentioned don't steal from or oppress their people. Are you comparing Museveni to Nancy Pelosi or Angela Markerel. These are leaders of countries that can hold their heads high amongst the committee of nations.
And a public official should spend 36 years in an elected position in a democracy because there's no progress left to be made?

The excesses of politicians perpetuating themselves in power is not only an African thing. That's the meat of the conversation, Mr Intelligent. Now, shoo.

grin na who curse Africa sef... 6th term? Shuu
What has Africa got to do with this again?

You're Museveni, 76, has been the President of Uganda since 1986.

Nancy Pelosi, 80, has been representing her California District in the US House of Representatives since 1987.

Angela Merkel, 66, has been the German Chancellor since 2005 and has been occupying one political office or the other since 1991.

Jeremy Corbyn, 71, has been a British MP since 1983.

But for the period between 2017 and January 2021, Joe Biden, 78, has been occupying one political office or the other since 1973. He represented Delaware in the US Senate from 1973 to 2009 - 36 whole years!

This problem of elected leaders perpetuating themselves in office is not only an African problem. It exists even in the so-called advanced democracies. Modern democracy has found a way to keep that ignoble aspect of the monarchical system it supplanted.

Only one candidate/party actively campaigned in the build-up to the election. The result was obvious from day one. How can you win the primary election of your party and refuse to campaign afterwards for the main election? The same question should also be asked of the party that 'refused' to actively campaign for it's flagbearer's candidature.

There's no real opposition on the streets. The so-called opposition parties in Lagos only exist in the media, if what played out over the past weeks is anything to go buy. Getting those who wouldn't normally bother to vote to go to the polls and vote for you or your candidate alone is enough to turn the tide, going by the number of registered voters and voters turnout on election day.
