Get your facts right, information is cheap. |
nairalanda1:It's true that in the 1970s, China embarked on significant economic reforms and opened up its economy after decades of isolation. The Chinese government did not simply remove all subsidies and leave companies entirely to free market forces. While China did ease price controls and restrictions on private businesses, the government maintained a strong role in guiding economic development through: 1. State ownership of key industries and major companies. 2. Provision of cheap loans and subsidies to favored sectors and state-owned enterprises. 3. Currency controls and trade protections to nurture domestic industries. Massive investment in infrastructure like roads, ports, and power grids. Even today, while China has further liberalized, the government still heavily subsidizes and provides financial support to industries it deems strategically important, like technology, energy, manufacturing and more. So China's approach has been more of a gradual, managed transition with the state playing an active role, rather than a sudden removal of all subsidies as you suggest for Nigeria. Every country's situation is different, but completely removing subsidies without any transition plan or government support could be very disruptive, especially for critical sectors like energy, agriculture etc. A balanced, phased approach factoring in Nigeria's specific economic conditions is more prudent. |

Growing up, I learned about the world through experiences I acquired from observations, learning from others - some factual and some not - and then through assumptions. The assumption part I heavily relied on was something similar to reading a novel and being too lazy to use the dictionary to confirm the meaning of some words, instead using context clues. Many people are still doing the same thing. The problem with assumptions is that we develop opinions and beliefs that lack a solid base. Such laziness is worrisome, especially now that it has become easier to confirm our bases through abundant freely available resources. This problem is so common that you see people arguing confidently with very wrong premises; they simply never took the time to check if what they believed in so strongly has any reality to it. It is very scary. ![]() |

Agbalowomeri:You mean the calculus ![]() |
Agbalowomeri:But to be honest, we apply calculus every day. The fact that we don't perform the dy/dx calculations on paper does not make it any less calculus. When you estimate or look for patterns on a chart, you are performing millions of computations in your head. So, yes, calculus is necessary for trading, at least in terms of describing the actions you took. ![]() |
Adinije:Then there's the question of consistency. Have you consistently applied your strategy year after year with success, or is this just a one-time win? It's like my colleague who wins a few high-odds sports bets in a row and suddenly declares himself a master, mocking me for not following his supposed cash cow. Well, let me tell you how it ended: variance. Without a solid understanding of probability, variance eventually takes back what it gives. ![]() |
ojesymsym:I completely agree with you. To be a true hacker, you need a vast knowledge base across several computer software domains. Hacking a bank requires in-depth understanding of its security framework (or something similar) and exploiting its vulnerabilities. Years of accumulated background knowledge are necessary just to begin studying such a framework. Then there are those who acquire a few superficial skills and claim to be hackers. LOL. That's social engineering, not hacking at all. It's no different from pickpocketing in Alaba Market. |
casualobserver:All you said is on point, but mind you, people feel bad that the same people in office who are not contributing much to the economy are collecting extravagant take-home pay. If the government is serious about all this, then they have to adjust money for governance by a lot, a whole lot. There is a lot of waste amidst pervasive poverty. |
lionshare:If I were the management of OkumuOil, I would never give in to extortion. I would beef up security, install motion sensors and cameras on the premises' perimeters. I would employ the military or paramilitary to guard the establishment. I would provide living quarters for the workers and safe transportation in and out of the company. The community should go and establish their own farm. ![]() All this does not mean the host and neighboring communities will not receive some "corporate social responsibility", but it should be a voluntary decision and not forced extortion. Kilode!! ![]() |
What about Voltes 5?

megawealth01:Sometimes I don't really understand it. What is poor treatment? If a company employs you and you feel you are not paid enough or the conditions are not suitable, why don't you leave the place or start making efforts to leave? You will still be in the same establishment complaining every year. I see that all the time. I'm sure OkumuOil did not get those lands for free; they invested in the lands and took huge risks to see the company to where it is today. And you, some lazy, jobless youths, want to tap into that just because your fathers gave birth to you in that locale. The entitlement mentality I see in some people is nauseating. |
megawealth01:What happens if 100,000 units are offered for sale, but buyers purchase them in fractions? I mean, does the rule apply only when 100,000 units are traded as a single block? |

That profit is money they could have reinvested for growth, but they decided to share it with their shareholders, hence the value reduction. ![]() |
Utalinmou:That is actually incorrect. There are times when stocks don't appreciate, and yet they are marked down. It is even possible for a stock to have been falling, and yet it is marked down. I have explained why before. Not by force to take my word for it o. Here is a copy from another source: Stocks typically mark down because the dividend payment is a reduction in the company's assets, which in turn reduces the value of the shares. Here are some key points to consider: 1. *Dividend payment*: On the dividend pay date, the company distributes a portion of its earnings to shareholders, which reduces its cash reserves and total assets. 2. *Reduced assets*: As a result, the company's asset base is reduced, which in turn reduces the value of the shares. 3. *Share price adjustment*: To reflect this reduction in assets, the stock price is adjusted downward by the amount of the dividend paid per share. 4. *Ex-dividend date*: This adjustment typically occurs on the ex-dividend date, which is the first trading day after the record date (the date by which shareholders must own the stock to receive the dividend). 5. *Price drop*: As a result, the stock price typically drops by the amount of the dividend paid per share on the ex-dividend date. This markdown is a normal part of the dividend payment process and reflects the reduction in the company's assets and the distribution of value to shareholders. ![]() |

eziokwunwoko:The Ava Infrastructure Fund is a N200 billion ($441 million) initiative launched by AVA Global Asset Managers Limited to address Nigeria's infrastructure deficit. The fund aims to achieve this by strategically channeling institutional capital into infrastructure projects across various sectors including power, telecommunications, agribusiness, gas distribution, processing and storage [Punch Newspapers: SEC approves N200bn Ava infrastructure fund]. Here's a breakdown of the key information about the Ava Infrastructural Fund: Goal: Address Nigeria's infrastructure gap by financing critical projects. Investment approach: Focuses on debt financing for infrastructure projects that offer vital economic and social services, with stable cash flows and a long-term asset base. Target return: Deliver consistent and reliable income to unit holders. Fund size: N200 billion ($441 million) program with an initial series issuance of N20 billion ($44 million). Status: The first tranche (Series 1) closed on March 6, 2024. I feel this is similar to a Sukuk or a government bond, but issued by a private company. https: //punchng. com/sec-approves-n200bn-ava-infrastructure-fund/ |

KarlTom:That's correct. It has to do with the fact that when a company pays a dividend, the company's value decreases by an amount equivalent to the dividend paid. The SEC or CSCS enforces this on the ex-dividend date. In some other countries, this adjustment usually happens naturally through market forces. But u know say naija things na by force nah. ![]() |
