Barco has been good, his confidence is increasing.

I love some of the takes on this thread. People really claim they know ball sha 😂.

Those underestimating or hating on Maresca might be in for a surprise. The man gave us our best league finish and a trophy since the American owners took over, despite the squad and circumstances he had to work with.

Put him in a more structured and well-run environment like City, where he’ll likely get the profile of players he wants, and I think he’ll do even better.

I only won’t wish him well when he’s playing against us 😂.

The way he left definitely leaves a sour taste, but the truth is, none of us really knows everything that happened, or had been happening behind the scenes.

Sometimes, as fans, we also forget that players, coaches and everyone else in football are professionals building careers and trying to create better lives for themselves and their families. Loyalty matters, but career decisions are part of football too.

As for Alonso, I’d advise everyone to temper expectations and give him time. We’ve had a lot of player exits, including some of our better players. You can’t keep changing the squad every summer and expect to build a title-winning team.

If BlueCo continues with this policy of bringing in 7–8 new players every season while constantly moving others on, I don’t see how we build the stability needed to win the league.

Hopefully, they’ve turned over a new leaf. Give it another two or three transfer windows, add quality and balance where necessary, but most importantly, KEEP our good players and allow a proper team to develop.

Because good players will eventually want to leave if they don’t believe in the direction of the club.

Alonso needs time, stability and a squad he can actually build on. Let’s hope the club gives him all three.

Sportsweb:
What makes you think BlueCo won't sell Estêvão, Quenda, Palestra, Chavarria next season?

Haven't the done it before?

Always destabilizing the team

Well its a delicate balance, if players want to leave and a good enough offer comes sell. The owners have to do enough to show that their is stability and the project is progressing, if not as these young talented players grow, they will want to leave.

On second thought, we'd better manage what we have than being scammed at the last minute with another bad market, hopefully we survive, and be around the top 4 by January. any hopes of controlling games or playing possession based footy is gone for now.

If we dont get in at least 1 midfielder, it will be a long walk to January.

We n2 midfielders if Enzo leaves, if he stays We need an additional defensive minded midfielder. We are light in that area. Lavia can park up for the next six months tomorrow.

Hahaha, some people already twerking after GW1 , its a marathon.

@ositadima2 and everyone else interested, market has been slow for a while now, this means even if I grow my portfolio more, it doesn't entirely translate to more trading volumes.

So I decided to shed some cash and buy my car, maybe perhaps cos you mentioned it too last week when we won the league.

It's a 2019 Rx F-SPORT with CLEAN TITLE. Too many salvage cars in this country.

Financing by Autochek.
Since I make much more than any cost of funds.

Insurance premium on the car is more than ALL my entire portfolio just last year.

God is Awesome! 🎉🎉


Happy Sallah to our Muslim brothers and Sis.

Congratulations and more wins.

@Oga's in here, please anyone know how to obtain NGX historical market data ?

Paying more tax to a government that is not accountable to its citizens, is akin to pouring water into a basket.

mikeapollo:
The shallow and hollow argument some people make sometimes is to compare taxes being paid in developed countries and say the same must be paid here, without putting things in proper context.
They are not even able to demand accountability from those who collect and embezzles the taxes and public funds. Sometimes, they even support the looters.

Developed countries provide jobs to their graduates and qualified citizens. They provide unemployment benefits, housing and accommodation., They take good care of the aged, elderly and sick ones.
Their president and politicians live a modest lifestyle, and some even use public transport to go to work on daily basis.

Over here, graduates roam the streets for 5 years without a job, no unemployment benefits, no govt housing or accommodation, your parents are old and sick with no govt support. The politicians are living an ostentatious lifestyles. An illiterate Councilor or LG chairman is earning more than medical doctors , lecturers and professors. You provide accommodation, water, electricity, neighbourhood security, roads etc. by yourself. The additional responsibilities and services that you provide is more than 35% additional tax to the govt.

As posted

I no longer see branch network as a strategic advantage, some of the big banks would have closed some of their branches if not for insistence of CBN. Banking has gone beyond brick and mortar structures.

Cardinal stone is on another level, no womder theyvare gradually becoming the biggest in the industry. Opened an account with them 4 months ago, fast and efficient platform with self service funding. Mails are responded to within hours. Pleasantly surprised, their commision is premium though. Note i still have accounts with morgan and StanbicIBTC, however Cardinalbstine trumps them in service.

Locotrader:
This is the reason I always refer you guys to cardinalstone.
It's a self service platform.
Self funding and self withdrawal.

Imagine this morning I funded my account with huge money like yours and it reflected immediately.

In a bull market use a broker that will not deny you luck.
Those who entered market today are better than those who will enter next week.

I expect you to do the needful soon

Has anyone done an analysis of CWG's performance? the numbers don't look so good.

Jao Felix finally gone. good riddance.

DeRuggedProff:
Has anyone here received his NPFMCRFBK dividend?

Yes received it this morning.

Ginalex:
CardinalStone is the best I've used so far in terms of live trading, online/self funding and withdrawal. Although online fund withdrawal limit is capped at 1m. Note that I use both Morgan and CardinalStone

Just opened an account with CardinalStone recently. My experience so far. Account funding is self service and near instant, they respond very fast to mails, they charge a VAT exclusive 1% brokerage fees, the platform is quite fast, Not tried withdrawals , so can't provide an opinion on that.

Note i currently have accounts with Morgan and StanbicIBTC.

In this land he would have resigned just that sometimes officials in Africa don't go that path

At least he admitted, and they are taking steps to improve the quality assurance from what I hear.

Good QA practices will reduce these kind of issues.

jonnysessy:
I am yet to fill out the new e-mandate form. This is because it was stated in the form that it must be validated by my banker. But, I have this phobia for going to the bank. I will still fill the form and send it to them. The % for which dividend was not paid is about 0.5%. Though, it is small but I won't let it go. I simply just hate cheating. If I was just to fill the form and forward, I would have done that long ago.

Why don't you fill the online dividend mandate portal on SECs site. After filling and submitting the forn you will get a reference code for tracking, save or screenshot it. Send the reference code to your banks account officer and they will validate. Have found this to be much faster.

Anyone using Cardinal stone securities for trading. Looking for a 3rd broker and considering them, how good are they ?

To the Ogas in the house, if you are faced with a choice of buying one of PRESCO/OKOMU, which will you choose and why ?

As always, football fans expect instant success, judging him from his first season, when he was still forming his team.

I remember some peeps here saying Enrique was a limited coach. I just sat back and laughed. Time have a way of handing out L's.

Anyone received their bonus shares in VFD and AFRIPUD ?

Using 20m in mutual funds at 20% interest rate given 4m per annum as profit as an example.
It means you will have to take a loan that both the yearly interest and one third of the principal can be paid yearly, total payable in 3 years.
Which means you can take a 7m loan and invest in stock payable in 3 years without external cash been used to clear the debt.
1st year, you pay 2.1m interest and 1.9m principal, balance 5.1m.
2nd year, you pay 1.5m interest, 2.5m principal, balance 2.6m
3rd year you clear the loan with roughly 500k cash balance.
Which brings us to the next question - inflation and devaluation in 3 years so as not to render your initial capital useless at the long run.....

Thanks for this.

I tried Deepseek too but not satisfied with it's answers most times. It is not always comprehensive and elementary to be fully understood by even a kid.
Claudia is good but it's drawback is the limitation to limited version unless you subscribe.
I also use copilot when have exceeded my Claudia daily limits but in all, I prefer Claudia.
I learnt 2 things from you on this thread that has really helped me.
1. Is using of Claudia to solve questions that I find difficult to answer.
2. Taking loans in such a way it is self-payable in 3 years using annuity system.
I also learnt to take cash backed loan using brokers to raise capital for use from emmanualewumi.

Please how does no 2 work ?
