speedchariot:
I know them. Baphomet's goat.

Leviticus 17:7 "And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations."
--The word (sabir) here translated "devils," literally denotes hairy or shaggy goats, and then goat-like deities, or demons.

The Egyptians, and other nations of antiquity, worshipped goats as gods. Not only was there a celebrated temple in Thmuis, the capital of the Mendesian Nomos in Lower Egypt, dedicated to the goat-image Pan, whom they called Mendes, and worshipped as the oracle, and as the fertilising principle in nature, but they erected statues of him everywhere. Hence the Pan, Silenus, satyrs, fauns, and the woodland gods among the Greeks and Romans; and hence, too, the goat-like form of the devil, with a tail, horns, and cloven feet, which obtain in medieval Christianity, and which may still be seen in some European cities. The terror which the devil, appearing in this Pan-like form, created among those who were thought to have seen him, has given rise to our expression panic. This is the form of idolatrous worship which the Jews brought with them from Egypt, and to which reference is continually made. (See Joshua 24:14; Ezekiel 20:7; Ezekiel 23:3, and especially 2 Chronicles 11:15.)

God uses the goat to symbolize evil in numerous instances in the Bible. In Zechariah 10:3 (KJV) He says He will punish the goats. In Matthew 25:31-46 Christ's Parable of the Sheep and the Goats tells of His return and of judging the nations. In verse 33 He says, "And He [Christ] will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left." The sheep are then given eternal life, but the goats are cast into the Lake of Fire.

Leviticus 17:7 speaks of ‘goat demons’ being worshipped by some Israelites in the wilderness, so the idea is from ancient paganism.

Spot on!

Messi and Kevin Hart too.

Its an Illuminati thing, but una no go hree say e dey.

The Bible calls some people "sheep". The world uses the derogatory " sheeple" to ridicule them and doesn't notice their "idols" openly identifying with goats, which is the term used in the Bible for those rejected by God.

OK. I'm done ranting.

Everyone believe what you wish.

If you want to know the salaries earned by academic and non-academic staff of universities, you will find them on the website of The National Salaries, Incomes & Wages Commission (NSIWC) - CONSOLIDATED TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS SALARY STRUCTURE II (CONTISS II) 2009 for non-academic staff
http://www.nsiwc.gov.ng/Policy_docs.php

I posted 2 images from the CONTISS II document in my comments above. Those are the real figures (annually) from the Federal Government. It is that amount that will be stated in your employment letter for a particular level/grade and for subsequent promotions.

Sapiosexuality:
Yes, the salaries are open but how do you which among these ones in the comments is the right one? Isn't there a site for that?

The Facts...

adelawn:
ignorance is a disease, u think the only nobel Laurette in Nigeria is Soyinka, my brother u are wrong may be u should google search in order to know the fact

The information provided by IHelp above is the same as what I would have written.

Ugosample:
But I'm still a bit confused tho

How can I buy bonds from my stock brokering firm?

Among the 3 most prestigious world university ranking systems (Shanghai ARWU, THE and QS), UI will rank higher than most other universities in Nigeria due to one fact - it has the only Nobel Prize laureate as an alumnus - Wole Soyinka. Of course, there are other criteria, but having this helps.

You're not the only one...counting down to Friday or maybe Monday next week.

I got my eyes on the June rates.

Nairametrics - May 28, 2018

The Past Week (May 21 – 25)
FGN bonds yields remained largely unmoved; it dipped slightly down 5 bps but remained range bound between 13.1% and 13.5%. Marginal rates climb at the May FGN bond sale: At the monthly bond auction, where the Debt Management Office (DMO) had NGN70 billion worth of bonds to sell via auction and NGN30 billion via non-competitive bidding, bid cover ratio declined to 0.9x (April 2.2x) which drove a rise in average clearing rates to 13.5% (April 12.83%). However, the DMO displayed a stingy streak as it elected to only allot 80%.

In summary, despite rhetoric about the need to signal tightening, actual CBN action over the week was to ease on liquidity which had the effect of driving the yield curve lower.

Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships 2018 – university application guidance notes

http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/uk-universities/distance-learning/application-guidance-notes/

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Commonwealth scholarships are always real if you go to their website. That's what I did...

So many reasons. One being the risk factor.

Agbaletu:
Thanks for the clarification.
Why wouldn't you leave it in Nigerian bank? I am very curious. What if the amount is 100K$?

I'm thinking of a lump sum deposit. I would say that if I have $200,000 it wouldn't be sitting in a Nigerian bank.

Agbaletu:
Do you mean a lump sum deposit or I can't have up to 200K$ in my dorm account?

Yes, within that range. It's a good target to aim for with a minimum tenor of 5 years. Of course, one would still have other income bearing investments like stocks which yield income in form of dividends.

As Warren Buffett said, If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.

awesomeJ:
40m in bonds at 15% coupon will return 6m yearly. That's 3m every six months and 500k monthly.

And as long as you're willing to hold the bonds, rates won't fall ( won't rise either though)

Oh ok.

Yes, I agree. One should target investment that can yield at least 500,000 Naira a month as coupon payment.

awesomeJ:
I think it's only a lump deposit or transfer that exceeds $10,000 that gets reported to the Financial Intelligence Unit.

In the long term, our aim is to have much more than the 200k.

If one has small amounts of forex, best to keep it as cash. The banks take charges for every dom account withdrawal. It's not worth keeping it in the account unless you want to make an immediate payment abroad, e.g. school fees, hospital bills, trade payment etc.

awesomeJ:
Yet the yields are less than 8%. Its biggest positive is the shield it offers against local currency volatility. Dorm accounts offer that too but with little or no interest earnings.

I think Eurobonds is targeted at foreign institutional investors. For a Nigerian to have $200K in his/her dom account, it will likely attract the attention of EFCC because the bank will have to report it.

Agbaletu:
200K$ is a lot of money.
Can one invest in Eurobonds with $ dom account? There is a need to know the current minimum amount they accept.

That's a lot of money for an individual.

awesomeJ:
I once learnt that the minimum investment for Eurobonds with Investment One Financial Services is $200k (N72 m).

I'm sure with time, we'll find out more about other investment houses.

Ok. Good. I'm interested in FGN Bonds and Eurobonds.

awesomeJ:
We want to do Eurobonds, State government bonds, and especially corporate bonds too.
