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.

The Ukrainians have gone guerrilla. That kind of unconventional war is always difficult to win.

You can no longer hide yet you are signing a subsidy removal to take effect one month after your tenure.

You are callous and wicked to set up a bobby trap for the incoming government.

Those constabularies knew that the thing is voluntary just like FRSC Special marshals.
If not, let them take their appointment letters and head to court.

IbileIfe:
Please, what makes him a fake Bishop compared to your popular pastors who are forking female members of their congregations?
Hypocrites!

You don't know Almighty God.

He is fake because, " by their fruits you shall know them".
So, popular pastors fork female congregants while unpopular ones do not?
Well-done, assistant almighty God.

That should tell you that Nigerians are tired of bad leadership. Afterall, it was neither Obi that accosted nor ordered for the fake Bishop to be accosted.

FG wan try divide and rule tactics on the union so that they will start fighting among themselves.

This guy bungled his opportunity to teach those dirty cops a lesson because he was chasing clout.
He is lucky to be left off the hook lightly and must have learnt some lessons too.
The cops involved should thank their stars, they would have been shown the way out by now.

Electricity consumers should also go on strike.
No more payment of bills nationwide until everyone gets metered or Electricity becomes constant - whichever comes first.

Are people on Trading212 still able to fund their account using Gpay now?

Who knows? Maybe a future generation will study these as some kind of abandoned engineering.
It may even serve as a time capsule to a generation after the nuclear apocalypse.
That generation will study the bunkers for insight into the technologies of the moment.
Their conspiracy theorists will have a swell time spinning stories upon stories.
Quite fascinating.
