PoliticsRe: APC Chairmanship: Oyegun To Step Aside by Mires: 3:03pm On Apr 26, 2018
APC and their laughable gimmicks. A party that prefers its interest than that of the nation.

A man who's more healthy than Mr President and the leader of his political party is advised not to contest for reelection on age ground while an ailing and confused president is encouraged to contest despite the same age. Issorite

Chai! There was a country.

My guy, read the report. That's not Enugu as LGA or city, but one of the LGAs in Enugu state.

As for Ibadan, it is the state capital of Oyo State. No one is talking of Oyo as a town or Ogbomosho, etc

And you think you are objective? you sound pained cos i mentioned private university, typical of products of public schools


We have lecturers who come from federal schools to teach in private school and when there, they control their emotions and libido cos they are not given head-way for nonsense whereas in federal and other schools, anything goes,

You can argue with yourself till thy kingdom come, that's your business
What's my business arguing with a product of failed UTME that leveraged on over grown secondary school to keep pace on the track.

We have seen a lot of them when they proceed to federal universities for masters programme, they hardly attain reasonable grade despite their over hype grade at over grown secondary school.

The might make sure she gets bad grades that will demoralize her.
She has done the right thing. She doesn't need high grade for the programme. It is MBA. A professional programme and not academic. Hence, she only needs 40 each in all her courses and Dissertation to graduate

Yes she failed, but it was wrong for the lecturer to ask for 5 rounds of sex, he implicated himself and she used it against him, he should be sacked asap

In private universities, this can never happen and even if it does, he will be sacked immediately no time, you cannot dash marks when senate is there to cross-check, funny thing is that when these lecturers come to private universities, they behave themselves, lol
Say what you know. What's the big deal about over grown secondary school that you call private universities?

What do you mean by "this can never happen"? The over grown teachers in your private universities are they not humans? The over grown girls, ate they all saints?

When you want to comment in the public, be objective.

pls what is the least amount somebody can invest in treasury bills
Federal government stipulates #1k. However, it differs across banks given that some banks do not want to get involve with a client who is not willing or doesn't have a significant amount to put in it. The amount invested in it will also determines their commission in terms of custodian fee which is usually 0.001 of the capital.

In sum, it is not worth it if one doesn't purchase in millions.
InvestmentRe: Shares (stocks) Or Mutual Funds? by Mires: 12:49pm On Apr 22, 2018
0monnak0da:
I get what you are trying to say but that binary is too simplistic. Frstly I donot think anyone loves risks unless thay are gambling. There are those who take more time to understand their investment risks before taking the risk. That does not mean they "love" risk. Infact for the more sophsticated nvestor risks can be covered usinginstruments like calls and puts.

I do not believeanyone would call Warren Buffet a risk lover. Everything he ever talks about is understanding risk, understanding a business before investing.

The claim that gamblers make up the wealthy classis really absurd. Certainly anyone who as you say would

rather prefer to lost their #1m rather than remaining with the #1m tomorrow is a gambler not an investor.

Age is a key factor in investing.Noonelives for ever and the purpose of investing is to make money hopefully you can use.

If you retire at 60 and receive a gratuity I would advise that you invest in instruments with lower risk and high liquidity like government bonds most ofit rather than shares.

Most share pricesrise in the long runif the business isviable but will that happen when it is convenient for you? That too is part of the risk to be managed and that is why a 25 year old is different from a 50 year old

Also if you do not understand risks, you do not understand shares and funds then again I would advise government bonds.

Investors should stick to what they understand
Age has never being a limitation to anything on earth. At what age did Colonel Sanders, founder of the KFC restaurant start KFC? I just used an instance to invalidate your submission of "If you retire at 60 and ...." This was exactly the case of Colonel Sanders. Rather than opting for your submission, he chose to take the risk by being a risk lover of going into uncertainty rather than certainty. Few years after he became a multi billionaire and KFC is still growing stronger with thousands of branches all over the world including the zoo country.

Studying and understanding investment prospect is not the same as venturing into it. The latter is practical while the former is theorizing. When one ventures into the world of unknown, he's practically a risk lover. It's either the person comes out successful or fails.

Point of correction. Don't misquote me or quote me out of context. I never said that "Gamblers make up the wealthy class.

Finally I wish Warren Buffet that you pointed out can be willing to tell you how much millions of dollars if not billions that he has lost even after he assumed he understood the business.

InvestmentRe: Shares (stocks) Or Mutual Funds? by Mires: 12:09pm On Apr 22, 2018
There are several things to be taken into consideration before one ventures into investment. I will limit my discussion to just one considering your request after which the choice will be yours.

There are two types of investors; risk averse and risk lover.

For risk averse, sometimes call risk free in some texts, returns on investment (ROI) is usually low. While for risk lover, ROI is usually high.

Risk averse are those who don't like taken risks in terms of investments. Most of them rather prefer monthly salary. They are the set of people, Kiyosaki assumes to be running a rat race.

Risk lovers are those who embraced risks and rather prefer to lost their #1m rather than remaining with the #1m tomorrow if it can't be double by tomorrow. These are the people who make up the wealthy class. They don't like being associated with monthly salary.

Having said all these, there's a short term treasury bills which is for risk averse given that you are always or 100% sure of your investment. Is it really investment? I disagree just like many professionals in the field of economics and allied courses will disagree.

It is rather an avenue to loan an idol cash to the federal government rather than allowing commercial banks to trade with the money with little or no interest added to it. It is still advisable to channel one's idol cash to it rather than fixed deposits since ROI in the former is relatively higher to the latter. To be specific, it's about thrice the latter.

Does it make rational sense to use for instance #1m in buying treasury bills for a period of 364 days if my nature of job can give me time to invest in a viable business? The answer to this question is linked to my kind of person; risk averse or risk lover.

When a country dances naked in the market place, it should know that other nations are watching. Hence, Nigeria is now a case study of bad governance. A case study of poverty amidst plenty.

. But d same ppl south will easily and readily castigate ppl up north for marrying out their teenage daughter. Isn't it far better to marry out a lady as a teenager than allow her roam about after school taking all manners of freebies from known and unknown men? Agreed, many children know far more than some of their parents would ever know,but again that's even more of a reason why parents should closely observe their daughters (children) and see their leanings and tendencies. If they are inclined to sex and freebies, then they are better off being married however young they may be.
Here in d north many girls who are calm and collected do go as far as postgraduate before being married, but many others who are sexully troubled are married off b4 they spoil their marital prospects with high body counts and diseases/unwanted pregnancies
Bro, leave ethnicity out of this. The issue before us cut across all ethnic group not only in Nigeria but the world.

You sound as if girls (teenagers) from Northern extraction are decent in relation to their southern counterparts. I completely disagree in all totality. I did my NYSC several years ago in Northern Nigeria. I saw that the hijabs wore by those girls (teenagers) and ladies are complete camouflage.

I wish you understand the implication of teenage pregnancy. Some of those girls that you subscribed to be married out, I guess to men that are at least thirty (30) years older than them, can hardly push babies at that age given that their organs are yet to developed for such. Hence, most of them are likely to be subjected to caesarian section.
PoliticsRe: 2019: How APC Would Hurt PDP – Makarfi by Mires: 1:26pm On Apr 21, 2018
There is a Yoruba adage that says that a wife or girl friend will never appreciate her husband or lover until she taste another man.

Nigerians would have think otherwise if PMB and APC were not given a chance to see how at least they will deliver the dividends of democracy to the teeming population. Unfortunately, it is crystal clear that the least of welfare and protection of lives and properties couldn't be guaranteed.

We have never had it this bad as a country. Killing of innocent citizens is now seen as a norm. Hungry and poverty is our watchword even with increased foreign debt that surpassed that of PDP in 16 years and media fight of corruption. And we the Nigerian people have being waiting for at least one past PDP leader to be convicted by a court. And it seems that we will continue to wait till eternity.

It's no longer a news that PDP led government was corrupt. Our common wealth were shared. Yet we were not this hungry and people living below the poverty line weren't as much as it is today.

It is also true that PDP has apologised to Nigerians for failing while in leadership at the centre.

As much as Nigerians know that promises from politicians should be taken with kid glove, I also think that it isn't bad to forgive and at least give someone one more chance when he/she errs.

It is on this note that I expect Nigerians to go out there come 2019 and vote enmass for the leading opposition party, PDP who hardly understands how to play opposition because it never envisaged being opposition. The Senate President in the person of Sen. Saraki has once informed us that if APC fail, we shouldn't give them another opportunity. On this note, several APC politicians, e.g, Sen. Dino Melaye, Sen. Shehu Sank have said that APC as failed Nigerians.

is that what they want? If a righteous man were to approach d parents of ds girl for marriage, they will nearly kill him with insults for wanting to marry an underage girl, but yet they can't or won't stop their daughters from sleeping around,getting pregnant and aborting it. I really don't know why many parents down south like their children to sleep with multiple sex mates b4 finally settling down for marriage?
Just listen to yourself. People like you will make Bubu to be insulting youths.

A girl that was sent to school, how else do you want her parents or guardians to stop her from eloping with a young man? Okay, they should accompany her to school because that's the conventional way it is done.

Are you not aware that many teenagers especially girls in recent times know what their parents won't know in the next twenty years. What most of them including you have learnt with the innovation in technology is alarming.

Why then being ethnocentric in addressing issue that affect the society. The young girl fine has eloped to experiment what she feels is her right. Then addressed the content and stop being ethnic driven.
