Jobless US politicians. The number of people unalived through gun violence in their country surpasses the casualty of Nigerian banditary.

‼️BREAKING: My amendment to withhold 100% of U.S. aid to Nigeria until its government stops the slaughter of Christians has PASSED.

American taxpayers should NEVER bankroll governments that turn a blind eye while Christians are abducted, tortured, and murdered.

BUA Cement. Maka Gini?!

I have Jaiz in my portfolio. I am referring to the usury-based commercial banks.

Agbalowomeri:
JAIZBANK dey there na

I exited Geregu with a 240% capital appreciation. My friend that entred earlier exited at 600% (if i remember correctly). Like most stocks, the clue is in knowing when to enter and when to exit. I'd rather have that than being trapped in Transpower, a company decalring huge profits, paying pittance as dividends while the stock price never appreciates.

deathwing:
You dey smile for Geregu?

I just dont buy Bank stocks for ethical reasons otherwise I would have loaded First Bank stock. I love investing in Ote$ companies. He laughs and makes us smile, unlike some other billionaire...

Obi na real Otondo. Nigeria dodged a bullet in 2023.

Itzlinda:
And today Argentina's Peso is officially worthless.

Lol. You overhype this your Netanyahoo. If he sure for am make he attack Iran solely and ask its bulldog, the US, to stand down and not interfere, make we check something.

mikeapollo:
Oil prices keep rising because of Iran-US war. I want it to rise higher and higher

When is Iran going to attack Israel na?
Iran was boasting, bragging that it will attack Israel if US should attack Iran. US is now attacking Iran, but Iran is facing Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Jordan etc. instead of Israel. Wetin happen na? Iran don miss road?
Netanyahu is waiting, expecting someone to miscalculate and misfire a missile towards Israel.

Na that time we go know say every madness get im medicine! Israel na your mate?

And crude oil prices go rise again for Aradel, Seplat (I no mention any other company name ooo)

Beg the NGX to ramp up and go on a bullish run and political discussions will vanish

Still, I repeat, a civil forfieture case is NOT a drug trafficking conviction. I rest my case.

HesInMe:
Last comment on this. It's not just a mere allegation; the man forfeited $1.2 million (in today's currency) when investigated for a drug-related offense. If you had clean hands and worked for that money, or legit got it, would you forfeit it?

One state fined me $100 for a traffic offense I thought I didn't commit. If you see how I harassed them eh? Honest people don't forfeit $1.2 million. It is what it is.

You are wrong. I am not defending anyone. I am not even a fan of the president or his brand of politics, but constantly alleging things without prove harms us all when the person in question occupies Aso Rock. Even if it is true, common sense warrants that we dont continually go online to say that about the number 1 citizen as the blowback is on all of us. I am not a fan of Obi, but would never openly abuse him everywhere online if he wins the election next year. For example, in the current fight against SA all their online abuse focused on the sh#t fellow Nigerians routinely peddle online.

It annoys me more when the people peddling these idolize leaders with worse past and ongoing records in other climes.

HesInMe:
Even you sef? I've read your posts; I can tell you're better than this na. Don't let Naija's issues cloud your objectivity.

Again, I ask, if you have evidence of any criminal drug-related conviction kindly show it. Forget all the turenchi.

HesInMe:
There's generally a 5-year statute of limitations for most nonviolent drug offenses. That means the US government can no longer pursue you for an offense committed in the 1990s. Allegedly.

Come on, people. I respect people's personal political choices, but some of these arguments/excuses for certain candidates are so asinine they boggle the mind. The other day, someone was arguing that the no-bid multi-billion dollar coastal highway contract was patriotic and kosher.

Bring your own analogy biko. If there is ever any criminal drug-related conviction for the Niegrian president, kindly show us. You think the US takes drug crimes lightly and Tinubu will be walking free after so many years if indeed there is such criminal case against him? How many sitting or former heads of countries have the US captured, tried and jailed for their roles in drugs trafficking?

Dey play!

mikeapollo:
Lawani, Lawani, Lawani!!!
Why now
This your theory/analogy can win Guinness World Record award! Haba!

'If Iran feels they can fight let them attack the US directly'

What a very juvenile argument

Should I also say if the US feels they can fight let them send footsoldiers to Iran. We all know that is the definitve way of defeating the regime. So, why arent troops on their way?

Is Israel fighting with Lebanon, or with Hezbollah? Of what relevance is an agreement with a lame-duck Lebanese government that could not even maintain a military strong enough to kick out the shia milita or stop the IOF from destroying their country? Attacking those countries you mentioned is a strategy of war as they host their enemy's military basis, which are used to attack them. The homurtz and the sitting duck military bases are their own strategic edge in this conflict and if I were them I would leverage it too.

mikeapollo:
This sounds defeatist. If Iran knows they can fight, let tbem attack US directly. The Strait of Hormuz is a diversionary tactic .
Same way they were using Lebanon as an excuse. Fortunately, Israel and Lebanon have reached an agreement brokered by US.
But the fools still went ahead to attack commercial ships in the Strait because they wanted the ships to use the Iranian side of the Strait by force instead of the Omani route.. Now, we shall see the excuses that Iran would give .
Attacking UAE, Qatar , Bahrain, Kywait etc is just stupid.
Why are they not attacking Israel if they know and believe that they can fight? After all, Israel killed most of their leaders and top military generals

Lol. All these Nigerian wannabe Israelis amuse me. What happens in the US doesnt concern you but you spend your time here defending tRUMP. The same man that ran on 'No more ways' is now attackign countries across continents and it is okay to you.

By the way, Tinubu is doing mostly waht he promised: fuel susbsidy removed, Naira now on a managed float, etc. It is weird to criticize Tinubu while defending tRUMP. Compared to tRUMP, Tinubu is Mother Theresa!

Who said he wont complete it? he will become a lame duck if he loses the Congress and may be impeached again. If he loses the Senate it would even be worse.

This strait of Hormuz was free to everyone before he started his misadventure in February. Now countries have to either pay a toll to Iran or the US or both, further inflating oil prices.

Streetinvestor2:
So the election will make him not to complete his tenure abi
You too like joke
If American constitution allows for third term
He will still beat the likes of that woman

His eyes go soon clear when the prce of gas at US stations excedd $5 with the attendant inflation going into midterm election.

Streetinvestor2:
Trump is now using iran to do yeye....lol

Very proactive step by NGX. I hope it repositions Nigeria back to being classed as Frontier Market by September, 2026

Its necessary na. If one give me BP the other one go dey give joy.

mikeapollo:
You are playing ''home'' (NGX) and ''away'' (NYSE/NASDAQ) at the same time?
Watch your ''legs''! Avoid ''dislocation'' or ''cramps''!

Its really red in the market today. NASCON, UNILEVER, ZICHIS, CADBURY, PZ, BUA Cement, etc losing or on the way t losing a full 10%

And the Middle-Eastern crisis is not giving us joy on the US Stock exchange either.

Midday Update on the NGX

Whats behind the DAAR Communicaitons rally? It has done 31% this month.

Dem ni follow France play. They were too fearful and played too deep.

They fall my hand sha. A central or west African country like Ghana, Cameroon or DRC will still try n use some physicality

chimex38:
Dem try..
Result was largely expected..
Na dem and Cape Verde try pass.

Looks like Aradel's rally was for dividends. Following yesterday's qualification deadline, the stock is trading lower today.

November is close. We will see how much he is loved.

megawealth01:
Americans love TRUMP 😘 No let CNN deceive you

Wrong assumption. You dont know me. I have consistently supported Omoyele Sowore for Nigeria and the politics of Bernie Saunders for the US, but of course, people like you wont allow these vibrant revolutonaries to get to power.

Streetinvestor2:
And is equally on record that all those your type supported has turned to be a disaster both in usa,Africa and Nigeria .The case of nigeria has been verified with Buhari/Tinubu
The only thing Africa benefited from Obama as someone connected to the region was supporting terrorism and trying to imposed guy ideology to our people.

Raegan and Bush were nothing like tRUMP.

mikeapollo:
A ''typical American'' in this context means a typical Republican e.g. Raegan and Bush., They do not have patience when they want to crush an enemy or terrorists.
Barak Obama is a Democrat. How many times have Democrats ruled America, compared to Republicans? The answer should tell you who is ''typical American''

Well. previous US leaders obviously disagree with you. Clinton, Carter(When he was alive). The Bush and the Obamas are specially close!

Just typical of people like you to refer to a man under whose presidency the American economy surged, a man dutifully married to one woman without any scandals, as 'anti-Christ' while elevating a lying, narcissist, and serial adulterer, who is furthering the racial supremacy agenda as 'God-sent' just out of political croynism and illiteracy. The black man truly has a long way to go. Because of Obama it would be hard for another black person to be president, yet Kamala Harris, a black woman grossed >75 million votes(48.1% of votes count).

When I read from you guys, I am more convinced any candidate you back must never be allowed anywehere near power in Nigeria.

Streetinvestor2:
Obama is the worst thing to happen as American president and Africa. For his stupid and anti christ life.It will be difficult for American to ever have African American president in future. I am so pleased trump was never part of the occasion. He contributed largely to the problem nigeria is facing today by giving us apc/Buhari government. He can go to hell for all I care as terrorist enabler

He is NOT a typical American. The typical American leaders all came together to honor one of their own, Barack Obama, when he opened his Presidential Library recently. Ex-presidents across party lines. tRUMP is an aberration the US will regret for decades to come.

megawealth01:
The rest of the WEST need to intervene because Trump no send ooooo. He is a typical American... Iran might see real MIGHT if nothing is done to calm TRUMP

You can take this statement to the bank. TRUMP na talknado kindaguy

Its business news and totally appropriate. Does it mean you are unhappy with the development?

Streetinvestor2:
And this post is not to praise the failed government. It is not politics too.u people think you are wise.

What is a 'juice' postion?

megawealth01:
If nobi cruise this una govt dey catch... Why not release the quota of juice positions to SE... Even ordinary Nigeria Stock Exchange where the quota dey?

Why not? People dey buy Seplat at 11k Naira.

But Airtel dey vex me. Why is it always unavailable?

yMcy56:
Not available...
It's on full bid.......but you get mind to be looking for AIRTEL at this high price....
Guess you get deep pocket too ...😊

Eagerly waiting for the Q2 results of Seplat, Aradel and Oando. The revenue should be mega!

PETERiCHY:
Key Points

Oil prices jumped more than 5% after President Donald Trump said the U.S.-Iran ceasefire was “over.”

His comments came after the U.S. launched fresh strikes on Iran in retaliation for attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

The latest exchange threatens to test a fragile ceasefire reached last month that reopened the strategic waterway after months of disruption.
