Okoyeebows:
Before you put 1 Naira in the Nigerian stock exchange, go and watch THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. Nigerian Stock Exchange is a place run by Judas Iscariots. Go and find out what Ndi Okereke Onyuike did there. Go and find out what Transcorp did there.

People regularly get burnt in that place of corporate scammers, you need sound financial education to make money there.

Let me tell you a secret Mtn doesn't want you to know. There is a company called MTN International (Mauritius) Limited, which has the controlling 76.08 per cent equity, or 15,485,544,050 shares valued at about N309.71 billion. Once they recoup their money paid as fine with extra by gullible Nigerians, they are getting out. That's exactly how Etisalat got a cash investment and Mudabala telecoms (the Arab owners) ran off with the money.

What most people don't know is that just last Friday, Mtn borrowed 200 Billion for a 7 year tenure from a consortium of banks just Friday 17th of May.

You see that fine mtn paid, they are stylishly collecting it back from Nigerians. They would eventually dump everything and run off like Etisalat. They are scamming as much people as possible preparatory to running away.

The banks they obtained the loan from know this but they don't care. They would willingly take over mtn like they did to Etisalat.

This same Gbenga Oyebode on Mtn board is the chairman of Access bank. Go and find out what Access bank did to Etisalat.

Wisdom all over your post.

The only slight correction I'll make is that there is nothing stylish about it. IPOs are a great opportunity for insiders to cash out, & depending on how well the managers run the place, the investing public could end up being bagholders.

Sad all around

May the grieving family find comfort.

We have no business going abroad for medical care. We spend between $3 billion and $10 billion a year, not counting travel, hotel, accompanying relatives etc.

Apart from the financial loss, the early & unnecessary loss of lives that millions of families in Nigeria have been through is just devastating.

This thing is not that difficult. There are models that can be explored to tackle healthcare for different (economic and other) segments of society.

I guess when Buhari himself goes abroad for basic medical care, they won't bother listening to what could work. Time to ignore the government & just implement and solve problems.

Tabuku:
Who is this fake general self? i have never heard of your name since i was born. Maybe you want to gain popularity.Politics aside,Obasanjo is a honerable man in Nigeria(two times head of state and president for 8 years) he is a voice in united nations and Africa. hold your jealousy and sleep with it,after making your money from those that instructed you to say all this bull-sh.t

Oh boy!

You know when they say 'Better to keep quiet and be thought to be a dummy, than open your mouth & remove all doubt'?

Reading up on Nigeria's contemporary history (which sadly is not taught in schools) will help you a lot.

asobo:
Sir sorry to say you are an ungrateful servant. It was the same reluctant Shehu Shagari who made you COAS and later CDS. It's well




Hurricane Atiku all the way. 16th February is a done deal

Atiku

Atikulated




Atiku for president.

Wrong on Shagari appointing him!

Gen. Akinrinade is probably Nigeria's most respected and professional General. Bonafide civil war hero who commands massive respect from Soldiers on both the Nigerian and Biafran side. Never blows his own trumpet and stayed out of military (or civilian) politics and coups.

If he was still in the Army, there is no way Buhari or IBB would have dared, or successfully planned a coup in the 1983-85 period.

He became COAS after the power trio (OBJ, Danjuma, Yar'Adua) handed over to civilians in 1979, and Shagari soon 'demoted him upstairs' as a General without troops in the somewhat ceremonial CDS position. Shagari didn't want to be seen to retire him, so he created a new, but effectively useless position for him, & Akinrinade promptly retired.

In a way Shagari ended up hurting himself as there is no way Buhari, IBB and Abacha would have pulled the stunts they pulled under Wushishi with Akinriade in charge of the Army.

It is not surprising that a man like Akinriade would look down on an Obasanjo who was an inferior officer, but blows his own trumpet and has been at the pinnacle of the Nigerian military, politics and nation.

Gen. Akinriade (who hardly speaks) has been recently public about expressing his sadness at the state of the Nigerian Nation & has said that if this is the outcome we have, then the Civil war was a mistake and should not have happened. He says restructuring or breaking up should be explored if it will bring better outcomes for people than we currently have.

I don't think he is supporting Buhari or Atiku here, but just rightly calling out Obasanjo.

Congratulations to Coach Nwora and the team.

Good to see Al-Farouq Aminu back with the team.

Junior Lokosa should be in there.
Simy Nwankwo as well.
Femi Thomas should be there as well, why is he shut out from the team?

Many players including Akas, Amuzie, Aina & Idowu are better than Echiejile.

Congratulations to D'Tigers and Nigeria.

The team has exceeded my expectations.

They played really well, especially on Defense. They were also disciplined and efficient, especially when the 3 was not dropping for them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP7Qn2jzwAE

Nigeria win 106-91

The 3 point shooting 16/26 was crazy.

That gave us the game

25-18. Nigeria leading at the end of the 1st Quarter

Morocco beat Egypt 66-62 in the fist QF.

Nigeria leading Cameroon 23-16 in the 1st quarter of the Quarter Final game

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_WAFU_Cup_of_Nations

2017 WAFU Cup of Nations


The 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations (also referred to as Ghana 2017) is an association football tournament scheduled to take place in September 2017 in Ghana.
Sixteen teams from West Africa are expected to participate. The tournament is the first featuring national teams to be arranged by Fox Sports as part of a twelve year partnership between the broadcaster and the West Africa national football associations union.[1]
Originally, one of the two host cities was set to be Sekondi-Takoradi however the local organising committee changed it to Elmina due to "structural defects at the [Sekondi-Takoradi] Stadium and the danger it could pose to fans during the tournament".[2]

The CHAN Eagles just beat Sierra Leone 2-0

Famocious:
The pairings for the quarter finals

Cameroon appears to be a better opponent than Tunisia(co-host nation) to me

Much better, but they won't be easy with this team we have. The good win vs Mali helped us top the group as we have the best points difference in the games between the 3 teams with 2 wins in the group.

Angola vs Senegal will the a great game to see.

Tunisia appear to have a clear path to the final, but strange things can happen.

Read the 1st post of this thread and you have your answer. Dalung, Musa Kida and Sam Ahmedu happened.

The previous coach submitted a plan for this tournament months ago. They had an election a few weeks to Afrobasket (actually 2 elections) and 2 different bodies emerged. Dalung backed one of the bodies and those ones threw out Voigt and his plans. A lot of the players were not happy and a few that were contacted declined. Diogu accepted perhaps because he did not play during the last tounrnament.

That is how we ended up with this team. The so called home based policy is just dumb. None of these clowns will go to a General Hospital to be operated by a 'Home based' doctor if he has access to Johns Hopkins in America. Not even the President with the billions spent on Aso Rock clinic. The top tournament in the continent is not where you develop talent. Grassroot work needs a long term development plan and the accompanying economic plan but these clowns don't really care about that. We have enough talent available to us to be the 2nd best team in the world and these jokers are determined to mess everything up.

The Women's victory was down to Sam Vincent and Mfon Udoka, but I'm sure they would try to take the glory.

Famocious:

Oh i see..a policy to totally overhaul the team that won last championship. Seems they don't have the word 'continuity' in their dictionaries.

Why their policy shy away from building on existing structure ( formidable for that matter) but chose the path of total overhauling ?
Time shall tell how promising the policy is ..

Halftime 37-34 Nigeria.

A repeat of the first quarter. Nigeria jumps out to a big lead, but allows DRC to close in towards the end of the quarter.

Ike Diogu has seen limited action due to foul trouble, but still leads with 14 points.

If we settle down and play good defence, D'Tigers should win this by double digits.

2nd Quarter. Currently 32-25 vs DRC

Nigeria had a chance to open up a big lead at the end of the 1st quarter, but Congo scored 6 quick points to close it 20-16

Highlights

Top performers vs Mali

Ike Nwamu 22 points, 2 rebounds

Ike Ireoegbu 18 points, 9 rebounds

Bryant Mbamalu 17 points, 2 rebounds

Ike Diogu 15 points, 4 rebounds

Ayo Akindele 10 rebounds, 3 blocks

Day 2 highlights:

Senegal still showing that it is their tournament to lose as they demolished Egypt 87-52.

Morocco get a surprising 60-53 win over Senegal. I didn't see it, but I hope the Angolans are not playing to get out of Dakar (avoid Senegal before the finals)

Nigeria had more balanced scoring in the 90-67 win over Mali. D'Tigers won every quarter and opened the game up in the 2nd half and did not let Mali get back into it. Free throw shooting is still a concern though. We left 8 points on the floor vs. Mali. It could be a difference in a close game. Nigeria also had 25 turnovers in the game. Much higher than the 11 in the game vs Ivory Coast. We need to take better care of the ball.
