kingzizzy:
They see IPOB do it and they think it is easy. Come and protest now!

What's it with IPOB and this now?
People should be free to protest peacefully a system and governance that is not working, it shouldn't be a crime.

I trust our force men to crush peaceful protests without waste of time.
It is insurgents, militancy and terrorists groups that they lack the might to deal with.

Hmm!

This failed project of a nation self.
Pray they don't waste the poor boy.

ahiboilandgas:
very serious......i attended the Lagos one by stadium but crowd not much....am am on ground in Abuja am here tomorrow 8 am.....

Bro, I respect your guts.
But, Nigeria is run by callous monsters not leaders.
They don't waste time using maximum force, live ammo on such peaceful protesters.
Extreme caution advised.

ahiboilandgas:
we have a proverb that a Good friday start with Wednesday....so of the wed is fantastic the chances of the friday been superb is big.....the human resources and structures available to drive Nigerian from insanity to sanity is sannity is not there or not available.....more revenue accrued to Nigeria state means more looting and more executive consumption and more white elephant project .....what happen to the 7.5 vat increase and 1 trillion dollars earn from 1999 to 2020 ?........the structure that can deliver any meanful developments with small revenue (like 7km apapa port to ijora) who magic will the structure/system perform with 50 tax increases...notting but more car to dino malaye ....soon senator will start buying private jets .
.

Very True.

ahiboilandgas:
Nigeria is it currently structure is for consumptions and not developments ....774 money sharing points called local govt consumps 23 percents of all resource and they cant even built a standard's culvert....30 state will collapse without faac allocations,the fgn is been sucked dry by meanless Mdas over 602 and another conduit pipe called the National assemble....they the presidency is more of a royal kingship than governance...the presidential airfleets comprise of over 14 aircrafts larger than any private own commercial airline company operating in Nigeria ....each governor has over 30 cars in his convoy that collective over 1000 cars on the move by 36 governor overseening non bankable projects called states ...add dep gov ,speaks chairman minister senator ......

Rather Deafening!
And some say we can dissociate governance mess from why we are here?
The large chunk of these recurrent wastages going to those in governance alone, really mind blowing!

ultron12345:
Poverty is not the cause. It is greed and pure wickedness. And this sense of entitlement Nigerians always have. That once you're doing well, it automatically becomes your responsibility to take care of them, and that they also have a right to enjoy your money.

Evans the kidnapper had accumulated millions of dollars from kidnapping yet he never stopped.
Hushpuppi was not poor yet he still continued engaging in fraud.
Our senators and politicians are not poor yet they still loot.
We've seen bank managers engage in fraud and even assist in kidnapping people.

One way to minimize this risk of kidnapping is not to showoff and keep a low profile if where you live isn't that secure. A businessman I know who lives and does business in one of the small, least important, poorest states in the south west. He can boast about being in the top 1% of earners in his state and among the top 3% in Lagos. But he still drives an old, small Toyota corolla and lives in a rented apartment with other tenants. When he wants to enjoy his money, he tells his neighbors he's going to the village. From there he flies to his mansion and cars on Lagos Island. At least, it's much safer there. When he's done, he'll wear one squeezed, tattered shirt and one dirty bag, enter uber to the airport and off he goes to his state.

If you see him at home in his state, you can't think of kidnapping him. Instead, you'll be feeling pity for him.

Omo see sense!

emmanuelewumi:
The only option left is for them to continue taxing the private sector.

I learnt the budget of CBN is over N1 Trillion, NNPC is operating at a loss

What happened at NDDC is the normal thing in almost all the MDAs from CBN to NNPC, NPA, FAAN, FIRS, JAMB, INEC etc.

3% of the profits of oil companies are used to fund NDDC, what stops the government from allowing the oil companies to carry out projects and development in Niger Delta.

Thank God for the tax credit given to Dangote and others which enabled them to use what they would have paid as taxes to be used by them to develop critical infrastructures at Apapa axis

"Normal thing" is the keyword.
Can't thank you enough for speaking my mind.

King44:
they are absolutely the same. I didn't say PDP is better but instead I said they started the mess and APC is here to make it permanent.

If appears like making them blameless in the face of blunders they keep making and hopelessness they continue to worsen. They meet a terrible situation only to make things worse turn and claim innocence.

I sorry sorry for Nigeria.

King44:
All Chinese infrastructural contracts should be reviewed.... If this things are not done we will regret.

We the masses would regret it the most... It us better not to let the case go under the rug like other cases... Zambia is now a Chinese colony, Ethiopia etc..

Nigeria is in line... The only trick they uses loan, infrastructure construction etc

Go to YouTube and confirm what I said.

On other thread I just said my mind, not knowing that it is actually happening..

Chinese would give you bronze and collect platinum from you that is how it is

Apc would finish us but I won't only blame them pdp started it.

People be still calling party names, refusing to see the imminent danger. APC or PDP aren't they more or less same people?

I sorry sorry for Nigeria.

emmanuelewumi:
Too late to realise that the N14 million he used in buying a new BRT bus in 2010, would have bought a house or fixed income Investment since his job as an Investment banker will not give him the time to monitor the business effectively

No be small something.

ahiboilandgas:
A labanese popular ice cream company was lock down for using milk that are days to expire to make ice cream ..he goes aboard get about to be expired milk ship to Nigeria..baam make ice cream and bribe off health inspectors , futher lunder proceeds to dubai where his family reside...

Sad.

emmanuelewumi:
Political, religiosity and ethnic discussions are quite controversial. We should focus on what unites us which is investment

Kind of comment/approach that earns you the kind of regards you have.
Not correcting an error by making similar error yourself.
A display of maturity.
Peace.

emmanuelewumi:
I said invested in a conservative mutual fund that gave a below average returns of 8%.

Okay.

emmanuelewumi:
The property bought for N12 million in 2004 which is currently worth N18 million in 2020 over a period of 16 years.

Gave a poor returns of about 2.5% per annum compounded over a 16 year period, either the property was overpriced when he bought it

That N12 million invested in a very conservative money market fund at a below average return of 8% would have compounded to N40 million in 16 years..

You can do the maths.


Compound interest, this is what some people don't know. But fixed income Investors understand it so well.

Oga Emma, this thing inflation, I know has been touched at some point before.
Can you factor it in this 40m compound scenario.

deepwater:
Lol

Are you guys still under lockdown in Nigeria


"I will never believe that there is a god/God called Mr. Allah and Mr. Muhammad is His Prophet, because I commented on a thread about kano state and Salah break.

Just read this thread and explain why I have to swear to comment -
https://www.nairaland.com/6007995/kano-suspends-eid-el-kabir-festivities-over

Seun, you lost the opportunity you had.

Nairaland was supposed to be the best online export from AFRICA.

Today it is a terrorist site promoting Jihad!

As way back 2006, akinalabi was a member of this forum!!!! You were the owner

Akin went on to do his thing and accepted people regardless of their belief system. Today you know where he is, you are still here giving Al-Q-ae-da moral support

Deepwords from an old timer.
Very touching.
Na so we see am.
Some of us just look and pass.
Such is life.

Whether this one na lock down abi na lock up.

MasterRahl:
You are 100% right! The street rules bro. Imagine killing yourself because of accusations from.a woman? The guy should have stayed off the social media and then tackle the case offline. Maybe the lambasting from the social media made him to give up hope.

For people who live on and breathe social media, and take everything and everyone on in it serious. Different strokes for different folks. Anyone who is familiar knows that a lot of people in social media obviously need help.

Hmm, so sad!
A lot of people going through stuff.
Both accuser and accused, same fate, many people really need help.
What a social media generation.

achierosion:
hahahaha
You don't hate that shiiit the way I hate it, I never opened any thread discussing about BBnaija

Hmm, as for level of hatred, it is like you love it, when compared with mine.

naijanaso:
What will the mask do for them? Did they tell you that the man died of COVID-19? This is weird though, but don't be surprised that this will be copied and people will start doing it

Copied by whom?
What makes it likeable that people should copy it?

Puah!
Wonders shall indeed never end.

Elder0001:
You are just shouting ignorant ignorant ignorant up and down.

You started this fvckery, not me.
I'm not oblivious to the fact that screen resolution, processor and network signal etc contribute to or affects battery life.

Go and school someone else, idiot.

You can continue quoting me but this will be my last response to you.

Boss, needless using such words.
You could have still passed your message without getting this far.
Peace.

ozento:
apc is finished

Careful friend, not when they apply Fayose style.
Hope someone will not be in severe pain sha.

rafaelgbenga:
APC=PDP, use your head

Your head dey there jare.
Some funny people be acting like they were any different.

Never expect a stone-hearted lot like these to back down.
People whom position of power was their life dream,
misgovernance their pride,
never had the courage to perform,
will never find the gut to step aside.

shalom4eva:
The shoe is not white o biko, it's black and white. And unlike those attacking eachother because of ethnic differences, please learn from us. I am from Ibadan Oyo State while she is from Mbaise Imo State. I hope that helps


Oluchi & Oluseyi

No be small thing.
I honestly hope we all learn from this.
Also pray such differences never become an issue for you both.
Thumbs up man, and Happy married life!

DexterousOne:
I never felt at home in Nigeria

And I dont think I ever will


The environment and mentality and thought process of the people here

I just cant deal with it


Everytime I return to Nigeria

I'm like again
I'm looking to make the move permanent

Na waa o. I still recall brother Hushpuppi said he "escaped from Naija" to another man's country.

ahiboilandgas:
let me add , mafia manager ,why nation are poor ,poorly made in china , blue ocen strategy,rich dad poor dad,millionaire next door , other people money

Make e for no loss.

Sholapey:
People stock up for different reasons. All am saying is you can't be 100% sure like you stated your Returns in 6years time.

Some of us predicted our ROI in Ntb some years back thinking by now it would've double up our Capital even though Capital is safe but see what's happening now.

Even Warren Buffets traded at lost, he also had the knowledge.
