I for prefer make dem free Sim and settle all scores at next elections

After the reckless statement Fubara made yesterday, I'm not surprised.

I'm just glad he's now coming out of his shell and not claiming to be a saint and the victim.

Meanwhile, I saw his list of achievements to celebrate one year in office and it looked like it came from a governor in Adamawa.

The Wike he's fighting with is doing well with less resources in Abuja.

We have always looked back to the previous 5-10yrs and long for those times. The problems of 1980s 1990s are still there and new ones are piling on top

You will see newspaper of 1985 where fuel queues dey, I witnessed fuel queues in he 90s and 2000s Today we are still facing same. Same story with NEPA, Same story with ASUU etc

I was looking at it from another perspective. Your salary as a fresh graduate at the time was enough to live a decent life and obviously fund your japa. People work for 4-5 years in blue-chip companies and were buying brand new cars. Most people look back at that period and say they were better days.

I'm just imagining a future where the horror people are going through today turn out to be good old days

raumdeuter:
A long time ago. When I was leaving same feeling I had that I am just wasting my time, this place no get future make I comot before I get stuck

Whoever doesnt know it yet is either too young or just an incurable optimist

Isn't it scary that we now look back and say the days you left were good old days.

Imagine looking back at today in the future and wishing things can go back to how they currently are.

airmark:
They know more than me and they appointed Fraudiola that year and it ended in tears in Europe for you and A40.

Pearl1910:
I dey baba...I travelled. Took a break. Am back online.

So it was you. Welcome back

Djdamian:
In fact, one of your colleague is currently on vacation outside the country as I speak.

It's not about the business; it's about the individual's mindset and skillset.

LordAdam16:
Interestingly, Cardi B planned on holding the rates - no more increases.

But the depreciation and the foreign financial establishment will force his hands. Consequently, this year will be a write off.

30% by June end is a stretch tho'.

-Lord

Absolutely

There's a reason they are yet to issue long term bonds at these juicy rates. The last I saw was 3 year savings bond at 18%. Apparently, they are hoping to stem the tide so they can bring down the rates.

Djdamian:
You are the one mixing things up. Engaging in a business activity, as you described, falls under earned income (self employment), doesn't it? You're actively participating in the operations of your business, investing your time, effort, creativity, and finances. Passive income is the other way round.in this instance, money works for you. i have told you to go and learn the difference


For those who care to know,

Let's begin by identifying various investment opportunities that can yield passive income. Here's a list of passive income streams that I know and invested in,you can also list yours so we can understand each other:

1. Agriculture investments
2. Real estate/rental investments
3. Transportation/e-hailing as an investor
4. Stock market/crypto market investments
5. Affiliate marketing/drop shipping (facilitating transactions between buyers and sellers via a website or social media platform)
6. Selling digital products and e-books on platforms like Amazon or eBay
7. Renting out equipment/machinery

Among these options, real estate/rental income stands out as the most secure and stable passive income stream. If your earned income allows, venturing into real estate is highly recommended, as it offers a reliable and stable source of income.

That concludes my discussion on this topic. I'll refrain from further elaboration. I rest my case.

You keep painting a rosy picture of real estate which is far from reality. First, tenants will not always pay. Some will even drag you to court and waste your time and money. Everytime a tenant leaves, you spend half the rent you receive to renovate the house. There's no guarantee you'll sell the house for profit if you decide to.

That's assuming the lagos state commissioner does not demolish your house before you sell.

Also, you left out fixed income securities. People are just waiting for the DMO to issue long term bonds at current rates so they can lock in.

If you buy a 25 year bond with 50m at around 20%, it will be worth 6.5bn naira at maturity if interests are reinvested and compunded. That's a risk free 13,000% ROR. Goodluck getting it from real estate.

BlueRayDick:
The big question is : WHAT DID THOSE PROTESTS ACHEIVE? Absolutely nothing !

Do u think anybody will waste his time engaging in such protests when u know it won't achieve anything ?

Even those protests in Ibadan and some other places , I saw videos of fellow Yorubas on social media lambasting the protesters and questioning their sanity. They claimed they were being unreasonable for protesting against hardship when it is a Yoruba man that is in power . They were asking how many Hausa/Fulani did they see protesting when Buhari was in power .

These are the issues .

Do u think I will go and join any protest knowing that somebody will on camera and ring light somewhere in Toronto or London to question my YORUBAness simply cos I protested against Tinubu's hardship-inflicting government ?

People are unbelievable. They have made an oath of allegiance with suffering.

raumdeuter:
Yes those guys were absorbed into the police in other capacity or do they want every SARS operative dismissed and sent home to unemployment?

Lol, isn't that the point BlueRay was making? What was the point of the protest? Nothing changed.

raumdeuter:
And Endsars led to the dissolution of SARS which was the major goal right?

I thought of that when I was responding but truth is, they just dissolved SARS on paper. Those criminals are still everywhere terrorising and extorting people.

Tochex101:
True, but his point about leadership can't be glossed over.
Who will lead?

I'm not sure those pockets of protests we saw in places like Ibadan and in the North had any major leader.

I know someone or group of persons have to be the focal point but it doesn't have to be the likes of Atiku/ Obi. Those ones have nothing to lose. If fuel sells for 5000/litre, they can fill thier tank everyday

Roland17:
Wike, abeg pity me small.

You don't know how much I don't want Apari to win this league but better Apari than Arsenal

larride:
We are not enemy of progress.

If Crystal fit do us bad thing yesterday, wetin you think say Arsenal wey dey in form go do us?

I am

larride:
Egbon, just imagine being a Nigerian and a Man Utd fan at this period.

I have a feeling you guys will turn up against Arsenal.

Looking forward to the tears on the faces of Harvetz and jorginhoe after the match.

Odunharry:
Yea true. Result for the last 4 PMA for 364days duration have not gone below 24%PA.

Hopefully we might see rate go up to 25/26 levels for a year. Let's watch and see

I'm planning to buy again by end of June.

Hopefully they give us 30% yield

Afterall, naira has depreciated 25% in just a few weeks.

BlueRayDick:
When people protested police brutality during ENDSARS , how did it end ?

People genuinely wanted a change , they wanted the government to do something beyond sacking one or two police officers after they must have killed innocent citizens . They wanted the government to take police welfare serious; hoping that will make policemen more responsible and more disciplined in the discharge of their duties as security agencies .

How did it end ?

Government sponsored thugs to disrupt the largely peaceful protests , things turned violent , the government sent in armed soldiers in a bid to quash the protests and break the will of the people.

The government then went on rounds of propaganda , arrest spree and found ways to hold some of the protest organizers on criminal charges . Fellow citizens sided with the government and that was the death of any future United protest in this country .

I read in dismay how everything was politicized and the few wins from the protest made bitter in the mouth by government officials and party loyalists .

Trust me , there's never going to be any change-effecting protest in this country because some individuals will always find a way to defend the same set of people , ideas, hardship , government and policies they are expected to protest against .

If Obi leads a proetst there's enough propaganda to use to question his motive , if Atiku does same treatment awaits him. If a common or average man leads a protest he will rot in DSS' detention facility like Sowore.

We can't say because the last protest we had didn't work out as expected, we should just stand by, fold our arms and watch this government turn all of us into paupers.

And while youre right about endsars, it's not the only protest we've had. There have been several protests in the past that forced the hand of the government.

Odunharry:
Let's see what NTB will do tomorrow

I'm also looking forward. Will likely be oversubscribed as usual. Apparently, banks are seriously loading up.

The deposit drive from them the last couple of weeks is really high.

Unlimited22:
Lmao

If Igbo man protest, them go say na because Peter Obi no win

If Yoruba man protest, them go call am Omo ale wey dey use left hand point him papa house

If Hausa/Fulani man protest, them go remind am when e talk say protest na Haram because e Brother Dey occupy office


The others simply don't have the numbers.
Proper divide and conquer tactics.

I doubt anyone will say that at this point. Everybody is feeling the heat.

If I tell you the kind of things I've had to do in recent times just to get additional income, you won't believe it.

Me wey dey relax before, wait till month end and spend like a king

Someone said the first year of Naija presidents is usually their best. While I have not confirmed this to be true, I pray it's not.

OasisX:
.............what are civil societies and oppositions doing for real?! Tweeting ain't gonna achieve anything.

When APC was in opposition, small ish dem don hit streets with placards. Na Tweets Atiku and Obi dey use do opposition.

Nigerians ain't ready, cos if they are indeed tired of the policies, online protest and lamentations ain't the way to go.

Hit goddamn Streets and FG will adjust.

Honestly you have a point.

I tried buying fuel over the weekend. I enter filling station see 780/litre. I just weak. As I was there, I noticed people will just come, complain and complain, buy like 2k or 3k and move on.

I also eventually bought some and moved on. That is the problem. We will complain and grumble, adjust and move on.

We are all docile and weak cowards. If not, the streets should be shutdown at this time with protests.

OasisX:


.....collect cash nah, den carry am go bank for deposit. LOL!

Collect cash from where? My brother, you have no idea what is going on in this country at all.

OasisX:



.......................its 0.005 for God's sake!

0.005 is the same as 0.5%

Theflint1:
Exactly, there's no way the government plans to tax capital, the tax is targeted at profit and that contextualizes the tax...so that guy that would normally charge 1% would charge 1.5% and all of this increase gets passed on to the end user. We should plan for increase in price of commodities.

Exactly the point. And people are rationalising and explaining it away. It's just 5k, it's just 50k.

raumdeuter:
Profit how? How dem wan determine your profit

I help you sell a car. You agree to give me 1% of the price of the car. The buyer sends 10m to me as the agent, I remove my 100k, government steals 50k.

OasisX:
.....na seankafor I dey even pity with new policy on P2P and cryptó transactions in Nigeria. Dude ain't here to curse anyone, rather face his business squarely.

You think anyone cares about those clowns? How exactly are they planning to pull it off?

Do you know the number of platforms that offer that NGN-USDT exchange? Good luck getting them all to delist.

TemporaryHansel:
It’s not much. I honestly don’t understand the reason for all the noise. 50k on 10m. 5k on 1m.

Abeg na the charges be this?

People and misplaced priorities sha.


The good roads and electricity that people are clamoring for, is it not money that will be used to maintain them? So where will the money come from if nobody pays tax.

This is the problem we have. You people have started justifying another loot by the irresponsible government.

Wasn't this the same thing we said with subsidy removal? Has anybodys life gotten better by virtue of any government initiative since subsidy was removed?

BlueRayDick:
Thanks guys for checking up on me, I am well and fine.

Tho I was involved in a life threatening incident over a week ago,but I am well and fine now. ( I do not really feel inclined to share details for now)

I have been coming around to read comments sha. Let's just say I'm back now.

cc: Iamoyindamola, Emaprince, Raumdeuter.

Glad to know you're fine. Was thinking the antispambot banned you.

royalwax2:
What are the issues? Please can you state them?

Acceleration lag at low speeds. You can read through here.

royalwax2:
Morning Chief,
I trust you are doing great. I need your advice. I have been using my 2006 FX35 for over 3 yrs now and it's been a reliable vehicle all this times. With routine maintenance, it has never let me down (apart from a day my camshaft sensor failed on me, go it replaced and was back on the road).
Now, I've grown over the car and i want to upgrade to the 2009 face-lift model. Although at times, i think the shark face is ugly but I'm in love with the interior aesthetics, the side view, rear and i need more power (300hp).
Biko, is the 2nd gen fx35 as reliable as the first gen? I know the VQ is a reliable workhorse but how about the 7 speed transmission? Is it as reliable as the 5speed trans I'm already used to? Please i need your input as regards it's GENERAL RELIABILITY. Thanks Sir!

The 7 speed has its well documented issues but nothing you can't live with.

Jodera:
Lol...
I no be bet person.

But I go certainly drag you if I don't drop point before season end and I'll use any means necessary to drag you at your thread.

If Arsenal drop point, you can do same.

Deal??

Fair enough. Deal

drisham:
Massive improvement

I was also just realising we have scored 18 more goals than utd in the PL. Impressive.

Maybe attack isn't the problem

Ewo tun ni cybersecurity levy? Oasisx, se Tinubu o ya were?
