Its almost as if the players are scared of losing the ball. Once they receive the ball with their back to the goal, they almost always return the ball back to where it came from when a simple half turn could have launched an attack.

With these players, Amorin will end up like Ole, Rangnick and Ten Hag

Amorin after the game.

"It was a good game, we just have to run more"

The more things change, the more they stay the same

SmartNYSC:
Good afternoon. About those fees, I got this from my enquiry with Stanbic.

Please is this 7.5% charged on my investment or the interest?

Its neither on the investment nor the interest.

VAT is on commission, custody and transaction fees.

Commission is 0.125% of the investment, custody 0.1% and transaction fee is N100.

7.5% the total of the above is your VAT.

Not entirely true. There are loopholes in this industry that the bookmakers are well aware of but can do nothing about, they only try to mitigate the extent to which pros take advantage of it. Such tricks are rarely shared. If amateurs like Thatniccur don't sign up, how do you think the pros that know what they are doing can get paid?

You are advised to bet responsibly and take control of your life. Don't indulge if you don't have the mental capacity to go through it. It's a dog eat dog world out there and people do what they can to survive, some make it, while some fall by the sidewalk.

Loopholes these days if any are harder to come by. These companies spend thousands of dollars doing research and hiring the best brains to plug loopholes.

Let's even assume you somehow find a loophole through arbitrage betting for instance, you can only do it for so long till your account is restricted or completely blocked.

Bet companies surf through every single account that bets through them. Once they see any consistent winnings, the account is gone.

I don't know why people gamble. I used to tell folks in my group. Gambling is a game for the rich.
and the rich gamble for the fun of it. They are not interested in making money. They just do it. It's like playing Nintendo or PS .

Well said.

We've had this argument extensively on the sports section chat thread and this was the same argument I made.

You have to treat betting like you're going to a music show or going to have a bottle of beer. Something you do with spare money for the fun and the adrenaline it gives. Winning should be a bonus and not the goal.

If you go into it because you think it's your ticket to generational wealth, you will be in for a rude shock and sorry will be your name.

Hi Guys,

I need some help - Today, I bought Tbills from GTB secondary market and I was charge 10,272 for custody fee and another 770 vat fee. This fees are new to me as I usually buy from primary market and never heard of this fee.

Is this something new now? Has anyone here used GTB and experience this fee deduction?

Any reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Those fees are charged whether it's primary or secondary market. You may not have noticed or it wasn't communicated to you.

This is nice. Waiting for it at 1000-1200. Now that I think of it, I have actually made decent money since Tinubu came on board just flipping the currency.

Maybe Tinubu as president isn't all that bad

swiz123:
What is happening is that Airmark is and has always been mischievous and very dishonest as he only cares about winning an argument.

Question is, who are the players added to that attack? Aside Neto who wasn't even exceptional for wolves, Sancho and Felix has been labelled disgusting names here. What has happened is simple, we stumbled on a good manager who is bringing out the best in our players regardless of their true ability. He has improved our already decent attack of last season to greater heights and as well as use good pressing to shield our defence.

An honest question you should ask yourself is this, while you can point to a number of our attackers who has improved greatly like Jackson of all people, which of our defenders aside consistent Cucu improved? Sanchez has even relapsed more into his hidden psychosis, Gusto surprises us with stupidity, Fofana has been pretty average and Colwill shows that he is below average in games we lose our dominance.

The answer is simple, we play a very dominant football, attempting an average of 550 passes every game. Then I have to applaud the manager for this instead of lying to myself about these defenders I watch for an hour and 30 minutes every game.

Maybe you are new to this thread so I must warn you about some monikers here like Airmark, Nihilistjnr and Ibime; they can say just about anything to win an argument. For example, when a player they don't like improves, they say it's the manager ( Jorginho, Rudiger). Now, the first two monikers are suddenly pushing a narrative that our defenders are good because Maresca is winning.

The truth will always find a way to reveal itself and it shall when you have your hopes so high thinking we are going to win those vital games that will clinch us the title.

popizaino:
I wanted to ask,should we still keep our foreign currency or go do some panic changing. I dey hot sit right now.

If you'll be selling at a loss and not in urgent need of money, just leave it there.

alexnurreo:
Hello house, what’s the update on tinted cars?… I don’t have a permit but I’ve been using tinted for the past 2 months within ogun and lagos with no single issues from law enforcement. The news just got out yesterday from Fct for all vehicles to stop using tinted glasses.. will it affect other states ? Or has anyone been harassed by the police yet ?

It shouldn't but trust our policemen, they will want to try their luck.

I have taken a screenshot of this part. As long as you have medical exemption, you should be fine.

It will be my get out of jail card when I come across them.

LordAdam16:
You still dey inside $ trade?
Should have seen the wind blowing.

Naira trade or invest your dollar (foreign stock, crypto).
Just holding $ is not a smart move for the next quarter.
Crypto rise means transient naira appreciation. But that is now being backed by a way better fiscal situation than at any point in the last 30 months. So naira appreciation will be sticky.

-Lord

Even when I held USD, it was in eurobonds and not just sitting in a dom account. I have since moved the money to Tbills. 30% yield is too sweet to ignore especially as I didn't see the naira depreciating another 30% in one year. I also saw the current dip coming. Just didn't expect it to be this steep. Could it have anything to do with the newly introduced EFEMS platform by CBN?

If USD somehow goes back to the low 1000s, I'll sell the TBills and convert back to USD.

What is happening with the exchange rate. This drop in one day is abnormal

WareLogMan:
Yes
Because I already called to inform her that I was on my way as protocol demands and I even told her current location and how near I was to her.

What eased me was that indrive didn't deduct their commission, or else I for too angry

Same applies to what you did to the other lady.

WareLogMan:
My second ride today passenger cancelled after informing her that I'm on my way.
She said she was running late and cancelled. This was a less than 600m pick up distance

Even if she ordered another ride, will he fly there.
I'm not sorry pls.

Was she wrong to have cancelled?

WareLogMan:
I did this babe dirty this morning
I accepted her ride on indrive, While waiting 8mins for her to come out, I decided to open my bolt app. Na so I hit surge for magodo enter ikeja. Close to my place of work.

I canceled her ride asap.
The moment I left she came out, called me thrice, I didn't pick, she dropped me a message and I responded.

All the best to her.

Except she has cancelled on you in the past, this does not make any sense.

You were wrong and should have apologised.

DAramis:
Abeg Financial gurus and fellow investors, who has direct phone contact or email of responsive staff in Stanbic IBTC asset management company?

XGhost:
Saw a video today (don't know how accurate she is or her source o) that said around 90% of of Nigerians earn less than 150k monthly. The remaining are spread across 5 other income brackets.

Could be true. The high earners are concentrated in just a few states.

What work are you going to do in a place like Makurdi, Gombe or Abeokuta to demand 150k+ a month?

And these are state capitals.

raumdeuter:
How old will Atiku be in 2031?

Na Obi go fold last last for Atiku

Atiku has a lifetime ambition to be president. Age won't stop him

He didn't fold in 2023. Why do you think he will in 2027?

liveLongNprospa:
For GRV to tweet this.
Then omo collab is a high probability

Looks like Atiku will back Obi for 2027. Of course, he will lose. Then Atiku will come out in 2031 when it becomes an all northern affair trying to leverage the support he gave Obi in 2027

Ihebu4chelsea:
Everyone is minding his business, that's why we are in this mess today. If you see something, Say something.

You see and say something when there's crime and the safety of people in jeopardy

Cheating is not a crime.

Spy360:
Is this not Nigeria? The NA will delete every information he has if possible including inside his brain before the release him.

But since we are stupid in this country, nothing will happen

Only way out for them is to kill him in custody. He doesn't need to show any evidence when he's out. Whatever he says, we believe him.

Ihebu4chelsea:
https://www.nairaland.com/8280601/family-disowns-son-exposing-cheating#133084971. Itrsm, blueraydick and some married guys here, what do y'all think about this?

Me I dey sabi mind my business. If the man won't find out himself, that's his business.

I have been in a similar with a neighbour who was cheating on the husband working out of town. I was quite close to the husband and never told him anything till he found out himself.

The day he found out and sent her out in the middle of the night, she came to my door and begged to help talk to her husband.

Talk wetin? Actions have consequences. Told her I can't follow her to beg. They made up briefly but eventually divorced. She never talked to me again till she left the compound.

My thoughts as well. If they were not trying to hide anything, they would have handed him over to the police.

manlikegb:
Where can one obtain these range of interest rate from the secondary market please?

Juicy offers in the secondary market don't stay open for long before they are snipped.

You'll need to be very lucky but you can try with FBN or Stanbic. Ask what they have available in the secondary market.

BlueRayDick:
He doesn't understand ni.

Na one person go collect contract to supply cleaner, na another chief go collect contract for supplying security guard and another person get supply contract for drivers.

Funny thing is if engage some of those contract staff ehn, the kind of info they will divulge to u ehn, it will shock u.

Na so the thing be.

GloriousGbola:
There is an even bigger contradiction in your statement. So the 'top management employees' in the company will be the ones coming out to cast their employer? They will be the one leaking information that puts their company in a poor bargaining position?

That is like dangote employees coming out to say actually our petrol is not 100% pure as claimed.

They don't necessarily need to be top management but people from the community will not just demand deve to do that scale of project.

They will be fully employed and will have contracts awarded to them.

BlueRayDick:
You clearly don't know who host communities are in the Niger Delta. The educated indigenes work in top management in most companies down there.

If this guy is saying this, it's because he has full details of what went down.

Egbon is funny. Bold of him to think you can do anything in that community without giving full time employment and contracts to people from the host community.

BlueRayDick:
The Secretary of Alesa Stakeholders ( The host community of PH refinery) was on AriseTV this morning and he alleged NNPC scammed the whole Nigeria with their claim that PH refinery is now producing. 🤦‍♂️

Watch how he broke things down in the video.

The full video is 34 minutes. Make I reach house first. Need to watch this with relaxed mind

Kukutente23:
You need to speak for yourself sir. You need to understand how democracy works. Let me give you a short example. Trump was accused of making a phone call to Ukraine that threatened national security as President. He was impeached by the House. The second impeachment was for inciting what they called insurrection. The people deemed him a failure at the 2020 elections and voted him out. Biden's govt who took over indicted him for keeping classified documents and indicting insurrection.

Along this line, you can see that the successive govt too Trump to task on his activities while in office. The point I'm making is not the saner clime argument. The point I'm making is that you as a citizen can do precious little about those who are out of govt. Perhaps the best you can do is if you get information across that can help LEAs to prosecute them. But for those in office, you can add your voice to ensure they are held to accoount while in office. This is more important now because even the US supreme court just gave a ruling that Presidents enjoy immunity over acts they carry out while in office even when they are out of office. What this means is that, the best time to stop a President from damaging a country is when he is there. After he leaves, you can't do anything to him.


If we expend energy on Atiku's corruption or Tinubu's corruption when they are out of power while we excuse those who are sitting in the office signing off corrupt deals, we are just wasting our time and helping those who are there to despoil the country. That's my take. I have a lot of examples to give you but I don't want to waste too much of your time. But I know I'm not a hypocrite in my criticism. If you don'tknow that guy, just check his posts and topics

You have criticised several politicians who are sitting in power and I agree with you. Where you lost me was when you started making excuses for Atiku.

By the way, shouldn't this excuse also apply to EFCC? I mean, why waste energy on Yahaya Bello when he's already out of office? Shouldn't they just focus on those currently stealing?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So in other words, we cannot demand for good governance whatsoever.

We cannot critique those who swore to provide us with good governance, because whoever we supported is (supposedly) like them abi?

I think I like this ideology[/color]

No. What that guy did was criticise every other person and now making excuses for Atiku.

What does it matter whether he was prosecuted or not?

If you must critique, you must be ready to do it across board. Not that you'll crucify one thief and absolve the other.

The Battle of the Hypocrites

Including you.

I once watched an interview of Oshiomole when he said, "Most times, we are not aware of our own bias".

I believe he's right. When it comes to politics especially, I don't think there's anyone who is completely objective.
