Is there a nairaland thread for commercial papers?

There is one though not quite active.

Excellent. I was wondering who gave the state government such powers.

There is no 5 year treasury bill. You may research the bond market to see if it suits you.

backnbeta:
Why is this on the front page? Is this news in any way? Why are you giving political jobbers unnecessary attention?

Maybe it's a sponsored post

I don't understand. I thought the C C Onwu you highlighted is the @charmingfit that FS Yusuf referred to In his post as starting a crowd funding project.

First it was tax evasion, now, it's asset recovery.

How come the asset was transferred to Dangote without any consideration being paid?

Anyway, it's like price of cement will go up now as this altercation will lead to scarcity.

You have heard of people owing those loan sharks, yet you mistakenly downloaded the app, mistakenly registered and logged in, then mistakenly borrowed from them.
All because the process was simple you thought it would not work? Na so you like suffer and hard life? So in your mind, simple processes are not supposed to work?
Just mistakenly pay back the 19k and take the interest as your school fees.
If not, just wait for what those sharks will mistakenly do to your reputation.

She said she has taken care of the oaths abi. How did she do that? I think you are playing with diabolical people ...

There is nothing to celebrate about the 62 years of independence.
Today is a day of sober reflection. Government should have declared a solemn assembly because they have failed on all performance indices.
We urgently need to rescue this country for the sake of generations unborn.

May be one of their own sites that they went to. Otherwise where are the operators that were apprehended? The pictures do not look like the operators left in a hurry due to their approach. It looks more like an abandoned or prepared site.
This is just for the pictures.

Last I checked,agbado na balanced diet if you runnam with beans .boy it's nutritious.

Check well. Agbado and beans na same class of food - both carbohydrates.

This may be the time to position long term if one can stomach all the red that will show in the portfolio.

LagbajaTheBEREAN:
I still don't get it, will the interest rates reflect on customer accounts?

Yes. Your savings accounts earn interest at 30% of MPR.
However, borrowers will also pay more interest.
Fixed income investments will earn higher interests.
But equity investors will experience a bearish trend.

So if someone accuses you of something EFCC should just invite you abi? Does the institution work on rumours and hearsay?
If they want to invite someone, it is the accuser that should be invited to substantiate the allegations.
If the allegations were even valid, the accuser should have written formally to the EFCC, informing that although they were on ground to monitor events, there were certain backdoor happenings which they were not privy to.
That way EFCC will work with him and his evidence, not mere unsubstantiated allegations.
The burden of proof is on the accuser and until then, the accused is innocent until proven otherwise.

Chizzyjforce:
Udoka is full Igbo name though. The guy dropped the Akwa Ibom name and continued with Igbo name even unto his child/children.

We can see it's not only Africa that shy away from office tangolo.

That's a full Akwa Ibom name. No de try explain wetin you no understand.

I fear for that your friend. Make you no go poison am o.

There is nothing for them to be angry about. Their decision to leave The Firm will shape their descendants.
For every action, there is equal but opposite reaction. For abdicating responsibilities, your Children are Prince and Princess but not HRH. The next generation after them will just have a Windsor surname and no titles.
The should live with their decision, afterall, they are now Americans.

Wuppdex:
I don't think so, she realized maybe her mistake and deleted the post. The big question is, will street urchins called gangsta fans and followers of the said rapper light her up as an act of revenge for her mistake, she needs to run asap.

Well, that's possible. But I think that the shock of the incident would not even allow you to remember to take you phone, log in to Instagram, and delete the post immediately after the shooting.
Except, of course, the post was to show the assailants that the target is within their strike range.
That is when you will still be in your senses to delete it because you had premeditated on it.

Mujtahida:
I am in agreement with you. I'm only stretching their slaving activities beyond just ownership of slaves to trading them.

Thank you.
I was actually thinking of Efik houses and Jaja of Opobo who was sold to a bonny trader and later a Chief of the Pepple House(not whitemen) when I wrote that.
I really enjoyed the discussion with you.

Mujtahida:
They didn't just have slaves, they actively participated in the slave trade. And then everyone has conveniently forgotten about the trans-saharan slave trade that thrived for almost a five hundred years before the trans Atlantic slave trade.

And then again the Arabs also carried out massive slave mercantilism in the East African slave trade.

They had sir. Unexported slaves were incorporated into those trading houses on a pseudo-kinship basis in some riverine areas. This pseudo-kinship allowed some of them to rise to prominence.

Mujtahida:
Many do not know that Britain was the first nation in the world to make slavery illegal. This is remarkable given the long history of slavery and how normalized it had become in the old world where might was right.

Certainly. They don't even know that many of 5he prestigious houses in the riverine areas had slaves in the household. Even in some northern areas, the royalty there had slaves. And these were indigenous houses/families o.

The girl set him up, that's why she deleted the picture after the deed was done.

shogsman:
How does your rant changes anything,are people not supposed to be mad at bastards that took Thier Fathers and mothers as slaves,killed and maimed them.
I hope someone tortures and kill your mother and your loved ones,let's see how happy you will be to talk about them in death.
Some of you are just WOKE for nothing

Ok. It's a rant alright. But I'm not being woke. My rant doesn't change anything , same as the people being mad cannot change anything. Have you dethroned your traditional ruler yet? Have you found out how the ruling house in your tribe came to be?
You do realise that the people who became slaves were raided and sold to the white men by other Africans, even their tribesmen, don't you? You may not even know that even Africans owned slaves. Enslavement was not an exclusive preserve of the whites.
Research you local history with these points and let's talk on the findings.
There is no need being sentimental.
You need some emotional intelligence.

GreyLaw:
It doesn't matter. The woman has no fault and I don't blame her for anything. The land you call home today, for forebears fought, killed and maimed others to hold that land down. The Queen is not a democrat. She was the leader of a kingdom, an empire. They don't smile. Everything they did, they did for the good of their kingdom first before considering others. That's how every kingdom was run in the days of old. You complain because your own kingdom was outgunned, outfought, outmaneuvered and then subsequently plundered. It's all part of the package.

Oyo empire, Benin empire, etc were warriors who also killed and plundered other empires. Don't be emotional about it. It's just how the world worked and still works. Your politicians are doing it to you now terrorising, stealing, and killing people via religious intolerance etc. The US is also doing it to the world. Russia is doing it to Ukrained and did it to Georgia. So long as the sun shines, people would always want to rule others.

Well said. I wonder how people pretend to be blind to this fact of life.
I use the word "pretend" because if the fortunes were reversed and their forebears were the conquerors, these same people would be feeling quite accomplished and proud of their heritage.
Even in today's world, might is right and only the strong survive. That is the reality of life and evolution.
All the tribalism we witness in our country today, is driven by this same quest for power and dominance and is a source of pride for some people.
Yet you see the same people calling for abolition of a people's monarchy while upholding and taking pride in their own.
They pretend not to know that our African empires were earned by war and plunder not by democratic negotiation.
They think our traditional rulers were elected instead of being from a stock of local warriors who plundered other peoples lands and resources.

Reno should just name the schools Awolowo built in the Niger Delta and the Ports that are working in the SS.

SmartyPants:
There s nothing pagan about it.

But there is something fetish and superstitious about it. A stone being called "stone of destiny".

So we can now see that no matter the education, civilization, woke-ness, etc, oyingbo people still do not neglect their ancient (pagan, if you will) practices.
Instead they just weave a narrative to make it more intriguing and Interesting.
One can only but wonder the things that are done away from public view.
No wonder English movies are always about sorcery and the likes.

If na my people now, the people who embraced foreign religions would have been castigating and telling us how devilish the stone is.

Timeless piece of architecture and well maintained too.

All the people shouting about how she was whatever, know it now that might is right.
Also in the laws of natural selection, only the strong survive.
If our forebears were the colonisers, we would be feeling quite proud. Afterall they too fought local wars and conquered local territories. They only had to succumb to superior fire power and strategy.
Let's leave the past behind and forge ahead.

Why?
Was the University established by her?
Is there no University in her homeland that can be renamed?
Or is it that she is a renowned daughter of Nsukka who has put Nsukka on the world map and made them proud?
Or is it the Nigeria in the University's name that is giving you headaches?

You be lesbian but God dash you a boy child. Isn't that wonderful?

VeryWickedMan:
Run two more tests

No need. He said the incident happened in 2020 during the lockdown.
It's for him to be very careful from now onwards.
