Absolutely everything falls and rise on LEADERSHIP.

Someone asked a very important question up there which i think has the answers to the problem plaguing our country:

1) Why are People not cutting corners with current telcos Airtel, MTN and the likes?

2) Why do bank tellers not just walk into the vault and take all the cash there to their houses(of course some have tried and some will still try but the consequences are there...)

3) Why are workers in Private enterprises more responsible with their deliverables than their counterparts in Public orgs?

4) Why is it that Nigerians behave themselves in orderly manner when they travel abroad?

Take a minute to reflect on the above.


It is all about Leadership. It is the responsibility of the leaders to set a very strong tone from the top. It is the responsibility of leaders to put in place controls and ensure that whenever these controls are breached, the appropriate person is sanctioned whoever it is. That is why they are leaders. They are to set the pace.

I remember when Buhari first assumed power, everyone started behaving themselves, some public officials who had stopped going to work early started doing so for fear of what come for the "Iron General", People temporarily stopped asking for bribes in case there were Buhari agents on the lookout. But after 2 months and they saw that everything was "Audio Transparency", they all returned to their normal selves.

In my current place of work, I know there are certain things that if i get myself involved with them, I will be shown the door immediately. No one I beg will listen to me. Because the rules are clear and the standard is being maintained to the highest. You can choose not to follow it but our leadership have made it clear what will happen if you go agaist them


Look, we dont need to push responsibility back and forth.

We need strong leaders. We need leaders who have vision and who have solid exposure and reasoning power and we need leaders who have the desire to create a legacy. All the ones we have there are just stomach-leaders and that is the beginning of our problem.

I think it is a game of numbers, businesses with many incompetent workers go under all d time. That is why in most establishments the selection process is very rigorous. Other factors beign equal, a business needs more competent and conscientious individuals, like 90%.

In a country like Nigeria where more than 70% are mediocre or ignorant or dishonest or both, it isn't hard to see why things are not working. In the west, more than 70% are skilled, literate and conscientious and things work. Over there ordinary citizens will report you to d authorities if you flaunt rules.

It is not just d leaders, everyone contributes to a better society. Except u want to go back to military rule where people are forced to behave, even that one get k-leg.

Make I post small code way I write this morning. He get site way get some PDF file way I won analyze but d PDF plenty and I no get strength to begin dey download am one at a time. So I write code for am.

import requests
import bs4
import os

res = requests.get('http://www.nse.com.ng/market-data/other-market-information/foreign-portfolio-investment-report') #to grab d site HTML
res.status_code == requests.codes.ok #to make sure wahala no dey

mySoup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text, 'html.parser') #to parse the HTML
elem = mySoup.select('td:nth-child(2) > a:nth-child(1)') # I use CSS selector to locate all d download links
linNse = 'http://www.nse.com.ng'

fileLis = [] # returns a list contents within the directory #In case I download halfway this code nah to keep track
for file in os.listdir(r'C:\Users\ounegbe\AppData\Desktop\work\python\WPy32-3740 old\notebooks\Stock Tracker\Domestic and FPI Report'):
fileLis.append(file)

for ele in elem:
test2 = ele.getText() + '.pdf'
if test2 not in fileLis:
repPdf = ele.get('href')
repNse = linNse + '%20'.join(repPdf.split(' ')) #I do small text formatting make the link pure
print(ele.getText()) #make I dey see wating dey happen
test = 0

while test == 0:
try:
res1 = requests.get(repNse)
test = 1
except:
print('Bad')
imageFile = open(os.path.join('Domestic and FPI Report', os.path.basename(ele.getText()+'.pdf')),'wb') #U go create the folder manually first
for chunk in res1.iter_content(100000):
imageFile.write(chunk)
imageFile.close()
else:
print(ele.getText()+'exists')


D thing pure and him dey work wella. I love python, he too much.

nna777:
I knew my second paragraph might interest you since you are from a mathematical/statistical background.

All available data can be found at the CBN and our stock market sites respectively. All I needed to do what cross-check the data of FPI inflows/outflows with the bulls/bears and make my conclusion. Anyone can do it. It's public info.

Maybe you can help with a graphical representation. It's not my forte.

You are referring to this link on NSE website:
http://www.nse.com.ng/market-data/other-market-information/foreign-portfolio-investment-report

Ok, I will collate the data and check for patterns later.
Also, I looked at a few months and I noticed;
1. Domestic transactions outweighs foreign transactions.
2. On the foreign transaction side outflows are higher than the inflows(July to April 2020)

Anyway, thanks for pointing me in this direction, very useful info.

[quote author=nna777 ]If you superimpose the months of inflows and outflows of FPIs with the months in which we experience major bulls or bears in our exchange, it's picture perfect.
[/quote]Be a little more professional, show us some statistics, do you have data to backup ur assertions. I am not saying u are wrong though.

Progenix:
Lol, seems you don't know the comics..

She's been out long just not prominent among general audience except comic fans....

She's like Hulk but different.... She has all Hulk's characteristics except she doesn't Hulk out like him. She doesn't transform to your "beastly look" as Hulk cos she retains all her human functions and cognitive abilities, just Hulk-like increased strengh and power.... She's more or less like smart Hulk in Endgame. And she's also Darker/ Greener. Really she's an interesting character due to her Mood swings and struggle as she maintains a normal persons Life. Ie she works and all that stuff.

She gained his Abilities after Hulk (Banner) did a blood transfusion to save her life cos she's his cousin.. From the transfusion she also got his Gamma radiated blood/dna.
She has elastic clothing too.
And you will never see Bobby or anything cos it's Disney. Not as if I've seen one in her comics tho. Pg13.

Funfact: She's dating Thor. Presently.

Ok, but I wouldn't have sex with her. One careless vaginal clamp and my John Thomas would be history.

VerifiedStalin:
You're the one that brought feminism up. Just trying to remind you that it was a thing long before your parents were born. It's not something to be mocked.

I wasn't mocking anyone, I am just pointing out that a she-hulk is a bad idea.

I don't know about d comics but I have watched the hulk on screen over d years and it made perfect sense, a she-hulk not so much.

I checked some comics online and noticed that they kept changing her form over d years. She is very muscular in some while slim and tall in others, u can see that a she-hulk doesn't really fit in and is more like a rushed addition. While hulk has always maintained a beastly physique.

VerifiedStalin:
It didn't start today but the movement is older than you, that much I know.

Yes na, are you older than d movement? Why bring it up?

VerifiedStalin:
She-Hulk is in the comics, it's not like they came up with it yesterday. It's first edition was published long before you were born.

So? Did feminism start today?

Achilles200:
No, my last answer was misleading, I have modified it.

That is what feminists cause, why should we have a she-hulk? They will probably use a female bodybuilder, their boobs sabi large o.

Achilles200:
The bra nor tear. Elastic bra that expands to her she-hulk size.

Lol, is d show out?

Chibudollar:
These oyinbo guys are truly blasphemous when it comes to Christianity, was watching preacher today season 2 and Jesus was having sex, funniest part is that they don't really try these things with other religions. I wonder why though

Guy, God was murdered in cold blood in that show by a very bad Saint.

IngeniousLeez:
WB are going for it.

We'll get to know more about Upcoming HBOMax series.... Green Lantern Corps and Justice League Dark and also Gotham PD.

They suppose bring back Daredevil and Pointdexter.

IngeniousLeez:
She- Hulk series begins proceedings.

Lol, given that hulk's transformation is mostly spontaneous and in d moment how will a she hulk happen. Like, will she tear up her dress and shove massive green colored boobs in d viewers face? Or will she run to her X closet everytime she is about to ... and dress up with d pink outfit and gloves to match? Ok na, let's see.

Mcy56:
Lol. You no even exercise any patience at all , make dem no pass you by.

Chai! See as dividend hunters just dey shine today. Make Una enjoy.

I have already incurred some expenses based on that money o. It is well.

Chibuking81:
They pay batch by batch, alphabetical and according to banks. My UBA just landed, and I know Zenith will soon enter.

lol, i bank with firstbank and my surname starts with a 'U'

emmanuelewumi:
Got mine this morning.

Are you a new shareholder?

Sir, I got my own like 30 min ago, I am kind of new, my first div from zenith.

Ipad worth 140k.

ositadima1:


My own zenith dividend never land o, hope still dey so or make i begin dey mail them?

lols, be like say these Registrars dey read NSEMPA thread o, my Zenith dividend just landed o, now now. Chai, they too much.

My own zenith dividend never land o, hope still dey so or make i begin dey mail them?

.

Worst looking Jeans ever.

Mcy56:
NEFT is National Electronic Fund Transfer nah.
Do you have account with GTB? Could be where your details were picked from.
GTB is really upgrading as international bank and staying ahead.

D alert came to my Firstbank account.

Mcy56:
You sure you didnt send your details to datamax?
Maybe you sent e-div form via mail, thought it wasnt captured cos of no reply from them.

Do u know what NEFT stands for? I am positive, that is why I offloaded GTB 3 week ago na, I just left very small. If I had know I would have kept it.

Mpeace:
Hmm u are luck oh. I have outstanding dividends from wapco, fcmb, transcorp etc and despite filling and submitting forms, nothing has been paid. U too luck joor

lol, I think DATAMAX has a way of extracting stockholders info from CSCS or something.

Mcy56:
The kind of bids and cross deals in MTN@120 though.........maybe interim dividend is approaching.

Very strange o, I received some dividend from DATAMAX for gtb. The thing is I never filed any e-dividend mandate with them. Is this how it works now?

emmanuelewumi:
Don't try it at home unless you are informed and knowledgeable about it

I don't see any downsides here, I bought close to bottom. Zenith is a solid bank. If d dividend payout continues, and I believe it will, I recover my capital in 5 to 6 years. That is if I don't experience the 200 to 300% rise first.

ojesymsym:
Hope you do not plan to liquidate that zenith anytime soon? In terms of EPS, I believe it is one of the cheapest stock. AFIPUD seems to be another.

Not yet o, I am hoping for 200 to 300% growth in d next 2 years once exchange rate stabilize. Same happened in 2016, by 2018 it was over 300%. Plus, dividend is in d range of 16 to 20% if it maintains status quo. I am buying more, sef.

rmx:
Don’t see why you are too upset , you have hedged some or most of your funds ,you should count yourself lucky , what of those that dint change any , Just learn from this and know how to be better with the next crisis

For me apart from the hedging I did in $ and inputs much earlier in the year , I did a lot of plays in the stock market when it crashed March ending , just existed over the last 2 weeks with 35 to 55 % gain , beaten devaluation with those funds also ,also doing some plays in commercial properties . Wont indicate amounts involved in my plays , realized not many people can handle figures here . it’s not compulsory we all partake in economic downturn, recession or devaluation With proper planning . We learn everyday

Oga Ahib dey try, he is very current. Earlier this year, he mentioned zenith beign a good stock to buy at the price then. That provoked my intrest in d NSE. I liquidated my small Tbills, then split in 2, put one part in d 7 year sukuku bond and d other in the stock market. Zenith has appreciated with more than 38% since I bought it. Though, I am in d market presently as I believe there is still room for growth.

Lazyyouth4u:
No I don’t. Is that how you live your life?

Excuse me, was I d one trolling ?

Lazyyouth4u:
You are mixing it up bro. I’m not trolling o. But if you insult me, I won’t say okay sir

If you want to poor out insults so u can feel better about ur self, by all means carry on. No qualms.
