sky2891:Your brain is working too fast; Lol. Abeg, let us allow Oando breathe small! Wale must be tired and exhausted by now if he were to be on this platform |
Krismas:Go read the encircled section of the book again and look at the map of the middle east! .......''This part of Syria together with the country which extends southward to Egypt is all in Palestine....This confirms my position that the original word ''Palestine'' comprises Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan and section(s) of Egypt! . Syria and Egypt do not share any direct boundaries, hence the phrase ''the country which extends southward to Egypt'' can only refer to the area of Lebanon, Jordan and Israel! Check your map! The phrase ''.....is all in Palestine'' should therefore confirm to you that the word ''Palestine'' originally referred to a region combining or made of different nations or people. In other words:, Syrian was/is in ''Palestine'' and Syrians were/are ''Palestinians''; Jordan was/is in ''Palestine'' and Jordanians were/are ''Palestinians'' Israel was/is in ''Palestine'' and Israelis were/are ''Palestinians'', Lebanon was/is in ''Palestine'' and Lebanese were/are ''Palestinians'' Indeed, this was the actual situation many years ago because all these people used to share only one identification document (e.g. passport) as citizens of ''Palestine''. The Roman empire used only one document for all of them! There are kings who were ruling in these places before they were defeated by the Romans So the word ''Palestine'' did not refer to a separate monolithic people, the now called ''Palestinians'' the way some people, especially the Arabs want the world to believe now. It is the strategy of the Arabs living on the land of Israel who are opposed to the creation of Israel (and refused to to be assimilated into State of Israel like other Arab Israelis) that adopted the old name '' Palestine'' and ''Palestinians'' in order to distort the history and mislead the world! They cannot arrogate the word/name ''Palestine'' to themselves alone! |
Krismas:Keep on contradicting yourself. I had mentioned that a part/section of Egypt was included in the old ''Palestine'' as called by the Roman, but you argued to the contrary. The encircled portion in your book extract states that parts of Syria and Eqypt were in ''Palestine''! |
Empiree:Go watch Al-Jazeera, BBC, CNN and listen! You would find Hamas tunnels under people's living rooms and schools I wonder if you wanted me to show you footage to prove that I am a Christian or Muslim, or none, or both, too! |
Choiceguy:If the acquisition of NAOC by Oando becomes successful and finalized, Oando would have proven oil reserves of about 1billion barrels. At a very conservative estimate of USD50 per barrel, that gives USD50billion. Even if only 50% of that is recoverable, that makes it USD25billion. At a conservative rate of N1000/USD, that is N25 Trillion naira! The total indebtedness of Oando is far less than that, so there is HUGE potential in Oando. The short-term may be very challenging but the long term prospect is very bright! But for those who don't mind buying and waiting |
Empiree:Irrelevant question. I can see and follow the evens happening in Gaza! |
Krismas:You are very funny indeed! You prefer quoting sources that are based on the personal opinion(s) of some characters or authors, but avoid quoting the most fundamental historical account about the land of Israel. The land in question had existed for thousands of years and it was never called "Palestine" until the Romans came! You claim David and Solomon are characters whose existence were questionable, but you want me to look at and accept the map of the so called ''kingdom'' of Alexander the great''! Pathetic! Was the era of your Alexander before the era of all the kings of Israel that ruled over Jerusalem? You are cleverly avoiding the history that would disprove your theory, but luring me to accept your own cooked stories! Alexander the great my foot! If you cannot acknowledge the fact people like David, Joshua, Solomon, and other kings of Israel (confirmed in both Quran and Bible) actually lived and ruled over Judea and Samaria for thousands of years before the Romans came, then there is nothing you will be willing to learn on this matter. You can go ahead and believe in your Alexanders, Ramesses and Aristotle. If you say the Bible is not accepted by all persons as accurate and unbiased rendition of historic events, (even though there are no better or superior version of its account of historical of events anywhere in the world), then why do you think you can convince anyone with your latter-day hearsays and corrupted versions of same events? |
Empiree:The war happening in Gaza is not a conventional warfare. It is guerilla warfare in an urban area! The way Israel has chosen to fight the war is what has made it to last this long. Have you seen (anywhere in the world) where an army sends message to citizens of its enemy (that wants to destroy the army) and inform them to move away from one place to another in order not to arm them and minimize casualties? That is what the IDF has been doing several times and making the war to drag on for this long. they are about to do the same thing in Rafah so that not many people would die. They could have done it another way but the casualty would be too high. Hamas has been running and hiding behind civilian structures to launch attacks at IDF; that is not conventional warfare. It is urban guerilla war! |
Krismas:How could you be so myopic? The Romans named the place Palestine which includes '' Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Israel and parts of Egypt''!. All the citizens of these places share the same identification document bearing ''Government of Palestine''! How could the Israelis jettison their original identity and assume a new one? If you care to listen, the Israelis had been there long before the Romans came, so they know better! The Romans also acknowledged thus fact and say the land belong to Israel! You always avoid making reference to the Quran and Bible because you know your lies will be exposed. So you prefer talking about 1935 and 1948. What superior or older facts of history do you have? You said the Israelis started coming to Palestine in 1800s? You must be dreaming! Where were your Romans when David, Solomon, Hezekiah and other kings of Israel were ruling in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria in 600AD? The so called ''Palestinians'' are Arabs who came to live in the land of Israel after the Romans sacked the Israelis from their land. That is how Muslims came to live in many cities in Israel, including Nazareth, the home of Jesus Christ.! If you don't know, there had been many wars fought in Jerusalem over different periods You want bastards to come and claim being Hebrew and steal the land of Israel? |
222Martins:Anything can still happen in Oando, either good or bad! We all are taking risks in the market. The higher the risks, the bigger the rewards, all things being equal (although all things are rarely equal). Lol. The boardroom squabbles that rocked the company for many years and its battles with the SEC are majorly responsible for most of the current challenges the company is facing today. This could even make it very difficult for Oando to get any sympathy or smooth deal if they should approach the SEC with a ridiculous offer price for the proposed delisting. The SEC could use it as opportunity to rein in and deal with Oando (all things being equal). But generally, the company seems to be overcoming its challenges, one step after the other. Nobody expected it to be able to acquire Conoco Philips, NAOC, settle aggrieved shareholders for USD600m, and obtain a USD800m facility from Africa EXIM Bank. Also remember the current president is related to Oando CEO. This could bring in potential bigger deals. As regards funding, it would not be too difficult to attract the required funds if Wale Tinubu would be willing to shed some of his control and let others buy more of the company's shares. For instance, if a person like Otedola or Elumelu should enter Oando now, everything go change overnight! Anyhow, anyhow, those staying with Oando know what they are about, and those jumping the ship also know what they are doing. Each Mallam with his kettle! |
Krismas:You are free to keep wallowing in your self imposed ignorance! There were Israelites and Jews living in their land, long before the Romans came and named the larger region as ''Palestine''! Even in the Quran, it mentioned Israel many times! It also says that the land was given to the children of Israel through Moses! Chapter 5 vs 20-21. You can decide to argue with this too if you want! |
Krismas:Why are you telling shameless lies? Go read the history of the Jews and Romans before you type out of ignorance! The whole world and the Romans have it documented in history and archival documents You must be a desperate, pathetic liar to say now that the Palestinians are the real Hebrew and Jews! Wow! So this is how deep you want to usurp the identity, image and pride of the same people that you want eliminated from the surface of the earth! It is fact that the Jews had been there before the Romans came. Even on the face of the coins that you showed, the Hebrew language (spoken by the Israelis and Jews ) is boldly inscribed. So answer this question: Why was the Hebrew language inscribed on the face of the coins in 1935 when Israel was not yet declared as a separate state, and if indeed the land of Israel never existed in history before 1935? And where did you get the funny idea that Jews are from Europe? Even Pontius Pilate (Roman ruler) was aware that the Israelites were describing Jesus Christ as ''King of the Jews''! Was Jesus Christ from Europe, you liar? You people can tell lies from hell, all in your desperate attemp to take over the land of Israel! The naked truth is the people of Israel had existed on their land long before the Romans and Arabs came to Judea and Samaria! |
Krismas:The ''Government of Palestine'' in the document refers to the combined parcel of land comprising of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Israel and part of Egypt which were under the rule of the Roman empire! The Arabs living on Israeli lands are deceitfully using the old name ''Palestine'' in order to deceive the world and legitimize their claim to the land of Israel! ''Palestine'' was an administrative name used by the Romans to described the region (made of different countries) under the Roman control. Before and during the Roman rule, Jerusalem, Hebron, Judea and Samaria (now so called West Bank) all were towns and cities of the Israelites with a long history of kings that had ruled over them. When did that change? The Arabs living on Israeli land who do not want Israel as a separate state are the ones who have adopted the administrative name '' Palestine'' in order to create the impression that they own the land of Israel. Israel had existed for thousands of years before the Romans came and coined the name '' Palestine''. In other words, Israel is older than the so called ''Government of Palestine'' that you are making reference to! deceived. The Romans had sacked the Jews from their ancestral land and many went to Europe. Some of them decided to come back and they had to comply with whatever administrative rules the Roman government required of them, including signing that document. Even if the document reads ''Government of the Devil'', the returnee Jews would still have no option than to sign it so that they could return to their ancestral land! The land still belong to their ancestry! So don't be deceived! |
Locotrader:The NGX is a free for all market; and ANYTHING can happen! There are always gainers and losers in the market. People can be bewitched and become gainers or losers at the end of the day! The Oando confusion is neither the first nor the last! |
Jaakay:This is very true. Oando is planning to raise more funds from the market very soon, either through bond issue or shares offer, or both! Please let us all read pages 91 and 92 of the 2022 financial report! if the court case is settled and the request for delisting is thrown out, there may be a rush of activity in Oando! I pray it favours us all! |
KarlTom:It is reported in the 2022 Accounts that Oando made losses for 2023 |
ndept:The proceeds from the sale of Oando retail outlets to NNPC was used to pay down the loans and borrowings. It is reported in Page 79 of the 2022 Accounts under Note 40(b) ''Changes in Liabilities Arising from Financing Activities''.....in the ''Cash flow - Payments'' column of N562.326b....... to settle Interest Bearing Loans and Borrowings (Current and Non-Current) |
Kajaard:You have no point. The school should be accessible to everyone; those who are not interested in Indian language should be free to drop it and learn only English! You cannot be using Indian language as basis to discriminate in another man's country! They cannot try such nonsense in the UK or even South Africa where there are millions of Indians! |
yMcy56:Your observations are legit.! I also noticed the jump in Oando total revenue in FY2022, even though those revenues were mostly denominated in naira. One can therefore imagine the potential impact of future revenues that are mostly denominated in USD (as Wale said during the AGM) which would help to hedge against FX losses on foreign currency denominated loans and payables. I just hope they use the USD800m facility from the Africa EXIM Bank to pay off all loans from the commercial banks. Our permutations ultimately hinge on Wale's intentions as well as the integrity of the Court and SEC |
Richcreed:A terrible shameless liar! Iran has been hit! They activated their air defense system AFTER the explosions inside Iran! There was no mid-air interception of the missiles, unlike how the Iranian missiles were intercepted in the air when they shot at Israel! Sit down there and be typing what you like! |
jpmoriarti:There are many lawyers that cannot speak good English and are not confident speaking publicly! Not every lawyer is a good lawyer. Some have the qualifications because they graduated, but they are not very sound in spoken English! There are even some professors who are not very fluent in spoken English |
sammirano:The lesson here is to tell the pastor that he should not have put her to shame in public the way he did! Even if he was not convinced of her testimony, he could have spoken to her privately and then she may have to come back again for a more coherent testimony sometime in the future. |
greenermodels:Excatly! The arrogance of thinking/acting as if he knows it all is just nauseating! It is always better to consult experts who had ''been there done that'' before taking these sensitive decisions! |
Mpeace:The shareholders that applied to be joined in the suit are minority shareholders that are opposed to the delisting. Their action should serve as evidence to the court that those who were seeking for delisting of Oando do not have the mandate of all minority shareholders, and do not represent the interests of all the minority shareholders. The loopholes/hurdles in the bid to delist Oando shares are quite obvious. 1. There are no records of any mandate by minority shareholders or minutes at AGM authorizing the delisting 2. You cannot ask for a delisting price of N7.07 when the shares are already selling at N10-N12 in the market 3. The SEC just recently rejected a similar move by another company (cannot recollect the name now), thereby paving the way as precedent to reject Oando as well. |
yMcy56:I think the court would strike out the case. The court waited and gave opportunity to minority shareholders with contrary arguments that are opposed to the deal, to serve as a basis to throw out the case. Those seeking to delist do not have any mandate from the rest minority shareholders to do so on their behalf! My advice: Load more Oando units if possible! |
Emu4life:It is only a deluded mind that compares Israeli military with Nigerian military. On what basis? |
alcuin:Israel is far ahead of Iran in everything ''technology'' or ''warfare'' that you may think or imagine. Iran is nothing without Russia, North Korea. Israel develops and sells weapons to lots of European countries, USA , Canada, Australia etc. |
Empiree:You are just stuck telling lies! Tell me if the following places (and the people) in the Bible still exist today or not; i. Egypt ii. Lebanon iii. Syria iv. Jordan v. Israel These are the original names of the places and the people (with parts of Egypt) that were combined together and described as ''Palestine'' by the Romans. The Romans were in control of the region at the time. And they all used to share a common international passport with ''Palestine'' as the name that symbolizes the combined area or region where the people come from. Just like people saying ''Sahel'' to describe the area covering Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad etc. It does not mean that ''Sahel'' is a separate country with its own indigenous people. The word ''Palestine'' was/is never a single, autonomous country or people. That is why they cannot tell you or mention the names of kings from the so called ''Palestine'' that ruled over ancient kingdoms like Jerusalem, and other towns in Israel, unlike the Jews who can give you a long list of kings from among them. When the Jews fought the Romans, they were conquered and driven away. Later, each component was granted their statehood (i.e. Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria all became independent states, while the Jews had been scattered abroad and did not have the numbers to do anything significant back home.. When the Ottoman empire took over the region, the land of Israel was like a ''no man's land'' because the Jews had been largely sent packing from their land, so the place became dominated by the Arabs who took over everywhere and entrenched themselves, their religion and culture in the land, with the few minority Jews living on the fringes! When the British defeated the Ottoman empire, they decided to balance the history by restoring the Jews to their original Biblical land and giving them their statehood. That is why the state of Israel was formed in 1945. Otherwise, why would Israel only become a state in 1945 when they had been existing and living alongside, Egypt, Lebanon etc. for thousands of years before 1945? So don't get confused! It is the Arab refugees in the land of Israel who refused to recognize and accept Israel's right to exist that decided to adopt the old name ''Palestine'' in order to use it because they believe it would give them some legitimacy and edge to claim ownership of the land! It is all lies borne out of hatred for the Jews! |
Doyin2:The Jews are not interested in any place that is not their own land. The Israelis are only interested in the land of Israel. The Biblical sites in Israel belong to Israel. The Biblical sites in Eqypt belong to Egypt; so also the Biblical sites in Lebanon and Jordan. The Biblical sites in Syria belong to Syria (e.g. Damascus) Why must the Biblical sites in Israel now belong to a so-called Palestinians? Where were the so called ''Palestinians'' in times of king David, Solomon, Herod, Pilate etc. who ruled over Judea and Samaria (now so called West Bank) and Jerusalem?. |
Free2Fly:Classic, Timeless, Evergreen masterpiece, masterstroke of a response to the most hypocritic agenda in the world....the propaganda to obscure and delete these pure facts and paint Israel as occupier force! Thank you for this upper cut! What I have noticed is that even the Qurans says in Chapter 5 vs 20-21 that the land belongs to Israel, but they would not read! |
Doyin2:The Biblical sites are dominated by Arabs and Muslims because they are the ones that were in majority on the land after the Ottoman empire conquered the place after the Jews had been sent away by the Romans. The Arabs and Muslims also have a a higher birth rate than the Jews. The whole world knows that Jews migrated to Europe, America, Africa (Ethiopia, Egypt etc.) after the Romans conquered their land, so they are not land thieves. Or may be you people don't want them to come back to their land so you can take over their blessed land as yours. You lie bad! |
Doyin2:Total rubbish! How did the land become that of Palestinians? No wonder you people only talk about 1945 and avoid talking about 3000 years earlier. The Romans are the ones that sacked the Jews from the land. The land is not for just anybody to come and occupy. Did the Palestinians have any superior or older records about their ownership of the land, apart from making reference to 1948? Were Kings David and Solomon that ruled Jerusalem born in 1948? The present day state of Israel is still the same Biblical Israel. All the places in the Bible are still there, including the Jerusalem that you people want to take from them. All the birth places of the prophets are there. Jealous people. You don't say that the Biblical Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan etc. are not the same Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan of today. But it is Israel that must be different. You don't know Israel more than global archeologists and researchers who have evidence and have confirmed the existence of all the Biblical sites in the present day Israel. You think people that go to Israel for pilgrimage don't have knowledge or sense? Even the Quran Chapter 5 vs20-21 says that the land belongs to Israel You better stick to and talk about Mecca, Medina or any other place if that is where you know well! |
