sukkot: ahhhh the musings and rants of the unenlightened. listen, once you have made money legally you now have lots of leverage with banks and your credit level with banks is in the millions of dollars. thats why donald trump has been bankrupt twice and come back up again. once you have legitimately become rich ? you will always find your way to the top.
regards patience jonathan, she is riding on the immunity ex-presidents have. ex presidents and their wife cannot be jailed. i dont think the owner of this 50 million is an ex president and as such can be jailed
as for your points about the stocks ? its rubbish. i dont think you understand that the stock market is a legalized pyramid scheme and only the insiders benefit from it. point being its not actual money for everybody. its only actual money for the insiders because they are the ones who manipulate the figures and then cash in from the manipulated figures. so its legalized robbery and a pyramid scheme. its not real cash because if everybody decides to cash out at once it will all collapse
and someone will hold thanksgiving service after losing 50 million dollars ? what kind of weed are you smoking again ?
I expected you to resort to insult as your position is untenable. I give up here since you lack the basic understanding of money. It nearly impossible to teach a blind man about color.
When will Africans learn that having many wives is no longer an achievement in this modern age. All it does is breed a cycle of poverty and ill-treatment.
sukkot: [b] 1- nah you wrong, the person who stole the money will be more depressed because he most likely does not have that opportunity to steal again seeing as its a new era, while the person who worked for it knows he can still work and get it again. see ? once you become a millionaire legally ? its always easy to become a millionaire again because you know what it takes. but if you stole it ? and you lose it ? thats it and you dont know how to make that kind of money again
secondly, that the owner of the money refuse to show face is because the person is scared of spending 50 years in buharis jail and not because the money is expendable. if you are 60 years old and told to spend 40 years in jail is that not death ? so its better to forfeit and still have your life. its not because the money is expendable, its just common sense since you know you cant account for the money
and lastly are there true billionaires ? in cash ? no. in stocks ? yes. nobody has billions in physical cash or assets. at most they have hundreds of millions in dollars however the projected worth of their company is in the billions but keep in mind the projected worth does not count all the thousands of employees who they pay out to annually to keep the train going. point being ? its all an illusion. its like how the tech bubble burst in 2000 and all the billionaires disappeared and became broke because it is not real money they are dealing with. its projected simulated money. [/b]
Return bill gates to his pre-1980 level and I assure you that he would never rise to the same position of wealth again. You are assuming that there is a secret formula that always work when there is no such thing in real life as timing is even more important that ideas.
Patience Jonathan has been fighting tooth and nail over the millions in her account, why do you think she is doing that ? Because she place a very high value on the money. The same cannot be said of the Ikoyi millionaire who moved on as if nothing happened.
Note that money is a medium of exchange, it is useless whether in cash or stocks unless it can be used as exchange for goods or services. So a billionaire need not have a billion dollar in cash before he can pirchase an asset worth a billion. Any loss in stock is actually a real loss at that point in time. Do you know that many billionaires donsurvive the crash and boom cycle, do you think it is because they have billion dollar cash stockpiled somewhere ? Guess what ? A one thousand dollar bill you owned in 2014 has lost some value, despite keeping it as cash, so the "realness" of money isn't determined by the medium, cash, stock etc.
Lastly, if the punishment for stealing is just that the individual will lose what he stole, in reality the thief has lost nothing and there is no reason why he shouldn't try again. In light of the consequence of stealing such huge amount, I will say that the thief got off easily and will probably hold a thanksgiving service rather being depressed.
fineboynl: the black species are closer to the ape family still in the jungle and probably still need tens of thousand of years to refine themselves, and while the white species have refined and evolved tens of thousands of years ago. I am not saying this because I hate black folks but I love them not to tell them the truth.
when you leave the black folks to themselves this is who they truly are. this is the unbiased nature of a black man. when you give them a city they tore it up. not because they want to tore it up but because that's who they are. its the nature of the black man, animalistic behavior and they can't even govern themselves and this has been proven without reasonable doubt. give them riches they marries many wife's and oppress their follow black.
when they are at the top they block others from coming to the top. you can call me a racist or what ever you like. but one thing you need to tell yourself is that i was not the one who told the black men to dump refuges on that bus stop.
I know some will ague with me that the white keep on stopping the black from developing themselves. bla bla bla. will you shut up there. how come Malaysia, Singapore and Dubai build their country within a space of 30years.?? why did the white not stop them from building and maintaining. a black man does not think above 4 years. that why every black government is only thinking of what he/she will do in first team in office and that's all and received praises and chieftain title with posters all over town.
Ironically, you just exhibited the same trait that prevent black from developing; myopic and shallow reasoning.
sukkot: dangote has not lost cash. he has lost values in stocks. two different things. stocks are simulated net worths and not actual money. nobody loses 50 million dollars cash without getting depressed
Someone who worked for the money may get depressed, not those who got it on a platter of gold.
That the owner of the fund refuse to show face clearly indicate that the money was expendable.
If I am to go by your logic, billionaires don't really exist, since they don't have the cash, but I know better than that.
While Trump is too brash, Khan has been trying hard to downplay the terror attacks and even suggested that terror attacks are normal and should be expected.
oaroloye: Well, that would be pretty stupid- to create a story that promises MIRACLES, where none were available.
If I did not receive Miracle Healing back in 1979, by my own FAITH, I should have died by about 1981.
How can FAITH in a NON-EXISTENT ENTITY have Healed me of a BLOOD DISEASE, from a Parasite that just EATS the Blood Cells until they have KILLED the Host? (MALARIA.)
Why did I fall sick again, only after I stopped praying for my Healing in 1985?
People testify of even greater Miracles.
Why would someone LIE about receiving Miracles, AND DONATE LARGE OFFERINGS TO THE MIRACLE-WORKERS, when, in fact, they never received any Miracles at all?
Had it been possible for me to send money to the KENNETH HAGIN Ministry, during the time when I depended on FAITH to Heal myself, I would have.
His Teachings on Faith really saved my life back then.
When he, T.L. OSBORN, or ORAL ROBERTS walked down the streets in their city (TULSA, OKLAHOMA,) people would rush out to TOUCH them, and put Sick people in their path, so that their SHADOW might fall on them, and Heal them, like in The Bible.
What kind of men have such testimonies on their lives, if there was nothing to it?
If people were NOT being Healed in their Ministries, THE PRESS would pounce on those stories like VULTURES (as did happen, from time-to-time- their records were NOT 100%). The positive testimonies far outweighed the negative.
Unexplained medical recoveries are not miracles, many men/women of faith have lost their lives to various illness despite waiting for miracles. Many people regardless of faith have had a remarkable recovery in an hopeless situation. The lucky ones who cheated death are giving false hope to other believers instead of admitting that they don't know how it happen, they claim god did it just to appear holier than others.
OmniSparrow: You reek of negativity to think first of yahoo and laborer when responding on a faceless forum. Yahoo is your dream and laborer your almost-reality. Even a laborer has more potential than your misery self. I repeat, you should have been aborted. Funny part is I'm sure you have submitted your cv to be a laborer in same company a zillion times. But we know you're a piece of shit and would rather you spend your time here with bonus data trying to remain relevant to humanity in vain.
I detected your gang's signature of blaming the country or government to justify fraud. That is why I posed the "yahoo" question.
It is still a big shame that a self-professed data analysts stream of thought is not different from that of an uneducated simpleton.
FitnessDoctor: But you fail to understand that the "I must chop" mentality exists because Nigerian citizens feel lazy and don't want to do anything.. Imagine if it is Arab Nations or other foreign countries.. Who protested for the president to be impeached and her immunity removed so that she can be tried for corruption like an ordinary citizen.. If we all get up and say that enough is enough... Which "I must chop" leader can hold back the rage of 140 million Nigerians..
Stay Healthy, Stay Wise
I remain Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor
"I must chop" is the mentality of an average Nigerian, it isn't just the leader that most people blame. We praise dubious people as being "sharp and still expect to have a decent country, no way.
Replacing leaders is not the problem if those who are planning to replace them have a different perspective on life. Your guess is as good as mine.
OmniSparrow: I have passion for what I do. I'm a data analyst in the power sector. But a country that makes other people go into entrepreneurship because of frustration and not passion is failed. And for the first thing to come out of your brain to be yahoo or laborer shows how you think. I'm harping on your father because I think he's an id1ot to bring another id1ot into this world. Should have aborted you.
Only an unfortunate company will employ uncouth and visionless people as employees because they will destroy everything with their negativity.
Very beautiful.. They keep filling their pockets and the nation keeps going bad.. They keep getting richer and we wail harder and laugh it off the next day only to wail again...
I have a message
Let me say this to you all on nairaland.. Creating entrepreneurs will not and never save Nigeria's economy or create more jobs for the people.. You see everyone claiming that they have the passion, that they have the skill and they want to become entrepreneurs because Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gate made them believe they would..
Friends, let me tell you Bill Gates and Mark Zuck's ideas were enhanced by a favourable economy and that is what we need... To create employment for the people we need to stop believing the lies like Npower and start protesting for real jobs (Npower ends in 2 years time you know).... Just look at some companies in American and how many people they employ
Apple - 75,000 Microsoft - 114,000 Google - 61,000 Facebook - 17,000 Berkshire Hathaway - 367,700 General Electric - 301,000 Walmart - 2.3 million people (1.4 million in the United States alone) Amazon - 341,000
That is almost 4 million people employed by just 8 companies and one of these companies employs over 1.4 million people in just one country alone..
Imagine if government start building BIG STEEL COMPANIES, FACTORIES FOR PRODUCTION, BIG AGRIC FARMS instead of giving us fertilizers to go and do it ourselves..
Imagine if the government passes a law that any foreign country that wants to do business in Nigeria, must have one of its assembling plants or operating factories here in Nigeria and 40% of the employees must be Nigerian..
Imagine such... There would be so much jobs... With at least 2 large farms in every state (owned and run by the government) employing over 5,000 each... That 360,000 jobs in 36 states with more jobs being created through distribution and exporting of the products... I reckon 40,000 more jobs..
Just Imagine.. Don't let all you hear about Entrepreneurship fool you.. As long as the economy is bad, entrepreneurship will face more problems and it will be harder for those with real dreams to make real impact..
We can do sometime by sharing this idea with the government.. We can do something by speaking up to them about this instead of blaming them.. Let us make an effort so that we can eat good food, have security and sleep at night..
it is for our own good..
Let us speak it on every thread and post it on our social media handles, with the #Nigeriamustchange
I remain Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor, your favorite health blogger
Your proposed solutions are not feasible, Nigerian governement cannot run a company to profitability due to the "I must chop" mentality of most Nigerians. You can't solve a problem by ignoring the root causes.
humilitypays: lol, even Donald Trump recognizes the power of God! No matter u wanna say bro, there's divine power greater than us and it controls everything we do here on earth. You can choose to call that greater power anything u like....Alber Einstein, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Napoleon Hills, Rockerfella, just name them....they all recognized the existence of higher power and authority, bro who are you not to
What is happening to Nigeria's leadership currently is more spiritual than physical, can u explain it
Please in all u do, fear God even if u are a sinner, don't be proud in your sin or say there is no God because there is God, and He decides our future whether u agree or not, enjoy your Sunday bro
Appealing to authority is a proof of non-conviction, who cares about what Trump believes when he has already achieved his life's aims using his brain. You are handed a toy to play with while the world moves at a fast pace.
What do you mean by sin ? hope you are not trying to claim holiness ?
Just mention one positive thing you do that makes you different from someone who don't believe in your fantasy ?
OmniSparrow: I'm already a success. It's yours that we are trying to salvage. Too late for your father though.
You are not a success, if you were you won't be lamenting on how your life is so bleeped up on every thread.
I noticed you are harping about father, did he abandoned you ?
At your age someone is still forcing you to do what you don't have passion for, I learnt it can be frustrating to not be in charge of your own life. I wish you real freedom.
[/quote][quote author=humilitypays post=57180562]No, Ronaldo is just too lucky, no special talent in his footballing skill....he can't dribble, can't do leg-over, can't skip, etc but can run....he is just lucky that after his teammates finishes the job, he will be at the right place at the right time to kick the ball into the net.
Messi is skillful, talented but not as lucky as Cristiano Ronaldo...Arjen Robben is even more gifted than Cristiano, but luck has never been on his side just like Garreth B.....no wonder the Bible said, the race is not for the swift nor the wise, but of God who showeth mercy....grace is all we need to succeed in life not even talent cos so many talented people are hungry and wasting while some fortunate people are making it big like my uncle Goodluck Jonathan who operates under the power of grace and divine favor!
God is also favoring Cristiano because he is so kind and generous; all his childhood friends are feeding and balling with his wealth...he takes care of them and many more unlike Messi and other stingy people who don't know that God blessed them to bless people around them....God loves kind and generous people but hates prideful, pompous and wicked people, even if they prosper, their success doesn't last like kind/generous people, be kind to your friends and family from today if God has blessed u
Mentally lazy Nigerians always bringing god into everything, no wonder the country is still backward when majority of its citizens think it is through luck that they can move forward.
