When is Iran going to attack Israel?
Iran is busy facing Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan etc. instead of Israel. Has Iran missed road?
Netanyahu is waiting for Iran to attack Israel so that he can reset the brain of the terrorist regime and IRGC.
Nonsense!

Raider76:
Actually this gets me worried. I have observed a pattern. Any time results are due you will see a flurry of PR media reports. These are usually followed by announcements of delays in releasing results or release of bad results.

Your "monitoring spirit" must be very strong and effective"

The rebranding contract is one of the easiest and juiciest ways to chop/loot easy money na

Na true ooo! Na wa oo

Stockbubble I dont understand how your Accesscorp closing price is N26 up 1.96% today.

NGX gave a different closing number of N26.30

Dont try some Accesscorp players here. Please adjust accordingly make NGX no use your figure start market tomorrow

Abeg! Help our ministry

Stock bubble is more real time than NGX, if I am not mistaken.

Kingray10:
Currently now we have the highest number of school children in the world.
Our leaders are always found f making foolish decisions.
The black SA we helped, look at how they are treating us in return.

It is not bad to help other countries. Nigeria also received and still receives help from other countries/

KarlTom:
Has the PR commenced?

PR or no PR, Access bank at current price looks too good to be ignored!
It recorded higher profit than FBN last year.

nairalanda1:
It doesn't mean, despite my story above , that Nigerians and other Africans should violate South Africa's immigration laws and move in without being approved or without having the right visas, just to 'hustle'.

Immigration always affects the country that recieves and the country supplying in negative ways. And while xenophobia is wrong, if African countries had been more serious about development, there may have been reduced immigration.

Violation of immigration laws does not mean African immigrants should be harassed, molested, attacked, killed and their shops looted by hoodlums and thugs. They even attack people with valid papers.

Incidentally, there are similar undocumented immigrant Indians, Lebanese etc. who are not touched or harrassed by these xenophobic South Africans

Agbalowomeri:
Which deadline again

I guess it is NAICOM recapitalization deadline for insurance companies, 31-July

thebargainhunte:
Yes, SMEs need cheaper funding, but with inflation still elevated, reducing the MPR now could worsen inflation and currency pressures. The better approach is to keep monetary policy tight while expanding targeted low-interest financing for productive sectors until inflation is firmly under control.

Thank you for the ''wonderment'' explanation!
See English that ''professors'' are speaking and typing here.! Just like that, just like that! Wonderful.!
I should have gone to school and focused on my books but I followed Kabiru to chase after bush rats at Aiyetoro. See me now, I dont know shishi for MPC!

thebargainhunte:
CBN Retains Interest Rate at 26.5%

Is this not too high?
How would SMEs and industry have access to cheap funds if MPC is 26.5%?

aj8:
Unless something really catastrophic happens, Access is good for 59.04 - 73.80

All depends on Q2.

Why cant you keep a ''secret'' for at least 6 months or a year?
The ''people'' may not even believe you, so you are like a lone ''prophet'' in the ''wilderness''
But I am a ''believer'' in your ''ministry'' and ''message of good news''

Breaking: Senate passes bill to rename NAICOM

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/07/breaking-senate-passes-bill-to-rename-naicom/

Is it an achievement to be renaming institutions? I don't get this obsession for name change
FIRS was renamed to NRS
JTB was renamed to JRB
Now, NAICOM to what again?

Kewtt:
It needs to dip further

I pray so too. I want to load some units soon.

elengine:
I have Access too but trust me that stock is not going anywhere now. Infact it will take a hit when Dangote IPO discussions resurface. The upside will probably begin towards end of the year subject to them being able to show working on meeting CBN requirements. My opinion though

A very good H1 result may cause a rise in the price!
But if other banks declare interim dividends and Access does not, then the price may stagnate or dip further.

faoogoke:
Its still morning and ACCESS bank has done over 173 million units. Wow!

But Access is obviously undervalued!
Once they are able to comply with the CBN rule(s), the price will jump to the range of FUGAZ.
Ditto for UBA

Hanibbal:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/07/20/us-prepares-all-out-war-iran-sending-more-jets-middle-east/

Very naive, shallow story!
The US surely has more than enough missiles to decimate Iran.
Even if (just if) the US does not have enough missiles, the US has several allies e.g. Israel and the Gulf States that can easily lend their missiles to the US.
The US war industry is too prolific in manufacturing replacements than this bullshit.
Iran will regret if they believe this kind of bull crap story!

Starboytwo:
Thank God the husband no run away..

Why would the husband run away?
This happened in Australia! The govt, civil society, donor organizations and the general public will turn the family into multi-millionnaires plus a lot of social welfare benefits. It is not like Africa

Mandem05:
Can they be blamed for their reluctance to invest billions of dollars in an unstable country?

I get your drift; but in this case, it is not only Nigeria. They are doing similar thing in CIV, Ghana, and Cameroun.
The truth is, African countries need to take some bold decisions on how they control their resources and the price at which they sell on the international market.

LibertyRep:
We don't need all these information in piece meal.
Let the ICPC conclude the investigation and make it public.

You are totally wrong.
These revelations are important and help to carry the people along. Who would have the time to read a 200 or 300 page report?
Now, we know that official accounts were opened for the PFPIC at CBN so it was not a fake agency.

RandDigital:
Unfortunately for them you can't go to the ICC with fake news 🗑️🚮 Most of the accounts on xenophobia are misinformation, Ghana will have raw egg on their faces after this.

SA won it's case against Israel based on facts and has won the preliminary rounds.

Which favts?. Hypocrites SA
What has SA done about the mine workers that masscared a few ago? Is that not genocide?
What has SA done about Russsua's senseless killings in the war against Ukraine? Is that not genocide?
Meanwhile, SA is even sending ammunitions to aid Russia and even allowed Putin to visit the country contrary to ICC arrest warrant!
Then add Xenophobia to the list!

Useless hypocrisy by a discredited country

HesInMe:
Our local experience with commodity produce boards is poor. They were so ridden with corruption and middlemen exploitation of small-holder farmers we dismantled them. What has changed?

What has changed is that the producing countries have realized how much they are losing and being short changed by middlemen and chocolate producers who do not grow any Cocoa..

If Nigeria is not able to do anything, about it, fine. But CIV and Ghana are determined to do something about it because Cocoa provides significant revenue for their budget

faoogoke:
I think what is most important is for the foreign chocolate makers to site their factories in these four countries and export the finished product to other parts of the world.

They dont want, or they are reluctant to do that. Hence the decision by the 4 countries.

pluto09:
I am actually taking about Nigeria.
CIV and Ghana are at another level.

The decision to curtail or minimise the wholesale export of raw Cocoa was not taken by Nigeria alone.
It was a joint-decision by the largest producers of Cocoa in the world- CIV, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroun but the meeting was held in Abuja

Agbalowomeri:
They should bring their factories into the country to provide jobs

Exactly, that is one of the demands being made by the biggest producers.
As it is now, some local producers dont even get the beans to buy because some middlemen pre-finance the buyers, so they collect all the beans and ship abroad for huge profits.

pluto09:
For now we lack local capacity to process all the cocoa we produce.
The first thing is to build local capacity and not banning export by fiat.
It will be counterproductive.

It is not banning export by fiat.
Maybe that is what Nigeria is trying to do.
But CIV and Ghana are planning schemes that would enable them buy all the beans from the local farmers, supply enough to local manufacturers, and then be in a position to determine or control the price of the remainder to be exported abroad. This would cut off the middlemen.
Currently, local producers don't get enough of the beans as everything is exported and the countries are not even able to determine the price; meanwhile middlemen are making much profits because they pre-finance the farmers and then export the beans abroad for huge profits.

pluto09:
If you are a cocoa farmer you will think differently.
Selling to foreign companies give them more money. We need to be careful how we handle the issue. If there is no more money in it, many farmers will scale down production.

What is important is for the farmer to know the price on the international market and willingness/capacity of the local buyers to pay exactly or something very close to that. The local buyers in this instant would be chocolate producers, manufacturers, and even govt agencies. If this can be done consistently and fairly, the local industry would be better for it.

Oasisblue:
They dont need to have Cocoa. The Shell of this world didnt have crude oil fields in Netherlands or the UK, yet they use their financial and diplomacy strength to run things in our countries, including allegedly colluding to change governments.

It ultimately depends on what the producer countries (CIV, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroun) would do. These 4 countries acount for about 75% of global cocoa output. If the agree and cooperate well, they will dictate what happens. Incidentally, 2 are Franco-phone and 2 are Anglo-phone

Oil industry is a bit different: it is highly technology and capital intensive, that is why the IOCs like Shell, Mobil etc. could dominate and dictate what happens global.

Oasisblue:
FTN Cocoa on full bid. I think it is riding the waves of current news of the Abuja declaration on cocoa processing. I hope West African leaders can stay the course because Oyinbo chocolate industry will fight dirty o. Unfortunately, we lack the national solidarity. Some Nigerians would support foreign interests against their country based on bias.

The Oyinbo chocolate industry (Europe basically) do not have Cocoa, so they can only negotiate and lobby.
The most important stakeholders Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria need to cooperate to achieve the stated goals.

amazonguru001:
What a pity.
What do we call this now?

Desperation?
Foolishness?
Japa wannabe?

Now thay they are dead, who will now be enjoying the money they "Japa" to the land of no return (Russia) to make.

Kaiiiiii

May their souls RIP.

Most of them were tricked, in search of ''jobs'. Signed documents in Russian language, only to be driven to the war front, and there is no going back.

megawealth01:
In no particular order Zenith, ACCESS BANK, FirstBank

You have already indicated the ''order'' na.
FBN gang will come for you now, better ''run''!

robosky02:
🚨 Rodri won the Golden Ball at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with ZERO goals and ZERO assists, while Lionel Messi finished the tournament with 8 goals and 4 assists... yet missed out on the award.

Was Messi robbed? 🤔

A very good defender or defensive midfielder can be the best player.
In 2006, the world best player Fabio Cannavaro and he was a defender

Nword22:
Dragging them to Court for asking you to leave.

When you've overstayed your visit it's wise to leave.

Many foreigners are still in south Africa as we speak.

Develop your country.

Nigéria should be asking questions to foreigners too.

The petitioners are not living in SA. They live in Ghana. Read well and google their names
