Apportion some to treasury bills... I think the rates are higher now but find out.

Real estate in my opinion isn't a very motivating investment. Unless you may buy something cheap, reno and flip but a lot of factors have to fall in place for it to work.

Other higher yield businesses though they come with risk.

I think one or two legacy coins may be a good buy if the purchase is minimal. It is not very attractive at the moment but it is bound to pick up as crypto isn't going away; my opinion.

Stocks. Like some US companies but research well. Even the highly rated Tesla stock dipped appreciably if I remember well.

NB: I'm not a financial expert.

Rubbish.

That was a very hypocritical arrest. Surely nothing will come out of it. Kunle Poly last weekend said that he had begged MC Oluomo in the presence of Gov Sanwo Olu and the IG. That is enough to tell us that NURTW and agberoism are part of Lagos state and fully supported by the state.

Last week when government pegged the rate drivers pay daily at N800, MC Oluomo right there said that the amount has nothing to do with the N3,000 paid daily by drivers to NURTW. The audacity was unbelievable. Oshiomole was an APC governor, but he effectively checkmated the excesses of the union in Edo state at his tenure.

It is very unfortunate that governance has degenerated to this very poor level where thugs and touts determine the affairs of the state.

I recall that Buba Marwa, when he was the governor of Lagos state, clipped the wings of this union and they were nowhere to be found in Lagos state until he left. The man who became the governor from 1999 - 2007 fully employed them and used them as potent weapons to win elections. The same happened in Oyo state. Now in a lot of areas you find NURTW members taking over the duties of the police by controlling traffic. The police are deeply complicit in this menace going on the state and making life difficult for people. The daily take of some chronic corrupt police people has made them relinquish their roles to touts.

It is no longer a secret that members of the NURTW give daily/weekly/monthly returns to the powers above to secure their positions.

It is a disgrace that a state like Lagos termed a mega city cannot take charge of transportation. Ambode was at the verge of taking charge of public transportation when he was ingloriously removed by the oga above and his group. Transportation world wide is largely government controlled. When will a mega city like Lagos get out of this mess with this transport Union and let the citizens have some peace?

Well said.

Nigeria, the cruise of Africa.

Humour me something please - how can such high incidence of cars on airport runway be?!?

I’m weak.

Distilling from comments here - informed or not - I would opine that a company such as MainOne should in the future, be designated something in the ilk of Companies Strategic to Preserving National Security, CSPNS.

For the mere fact that a horde of Nigerian banking institutions and other sensitive agencies rely on their channels for data traffic, encrypted or not, is to me, enough impetus for a governmental bailout where VC funding, an IPO (if feasible), or closely vetted merger (not full blown acquisition), is not agreeable.

No, MainOne isn’t exactly a data mining venture like Facebook etc but is still a potential treasure trove for foreign parties interested in undermining national security. This may be through hacking or other disruptive means, nonetheless, the consequences could be grace.

Just imagine China allowing Facebook to acquire TikTok.

You tink say na beans make US clamp down on ByteDance (TikTok). They understand these fundamentals, and beyond.

MB, MB, MB… oh how sweet.

Just sold my E320 (2004) cause it was 4matic and left it on a spot for too long. But when it was going, it was going…

This is coming from someone wey don use Toyota, Geely and Nissan tire.

Please, what’s up with these Suzuki SUVs, are they any good?

Yes, twice. And she nor send me stil

True..
Can't wait for Buhari,the leader of the Tabilan,Nigerian branch to open a ministry and branches for bandits

If I am born a Nigerian in my next life,I go carry knife kill myself there and then in the hospital

Guy don’t make me sh*t my pants abeg

LordReed:
This is not good news. Norton AV is crap, Avast that we used to manage will now become integrated into the Norton ecosystem which is likely to lead it to becoming crap as well. SMH.

Very true bro. Norton after a while became a system hog and largely unusable. It thus fell out of favour with many.

They probably remained strong in enterprise level security as I can not remember the last time ANYONE I know used Norton AV, the one-time king.

Music studio? Tread very carefully.

Unless you have a sure means to secure stream of clientele. Location, network and investment level also matter.

Same for rehearsal studios which is a better bet generally, at least in my opinion but I’ve come across a relatively new (about one year plus) rehearsal studio barely getting any work.

Much of what we hear as published music is produced in bedrooms and private spaces. There is still the need for professional studios at least for mixing and mastering though.

I am based in Abuja but come to Lagos State once in a while. Now because of my unfamiliarity with Lagos roads, I decided to use public transport this morning.

I was at one of the Oshodi parks when I started hearing "eko" "eko" "eko". I moved closer to the conductor to ask where the bus was going and with a sachet of dry gin in his mouth, he harshly said "Lagos". That wasn't my destination but as I was looking for a bus going to my destination, I kept pondering, no be the same Lagos we dey abi is there another Lagos in Lagos?

My belle ooo

ABBkelvin:
Nobody is good a person, the day you fully accept this fact you will start escaping unnecessary danger and situation that will destroy or kill you. We are full of shit and we live all our live to try and hide our shitty part. On a norms Ataga was supposed to have used her for ritual purpose or eff her off after going out with her once, that was weakness from his part and he paid a heavy price with his life. Never trust anybody, it doesn't matter, they have the same evil thought going on in your brain. Kill before you get killed.

Bro, na wah to you ooo.

Very insensitive banter given the current circumstances but then again, Mr. Momodu more often than not, goofs.

netmillionaires:
I know. I just had to make the correction before nairaland guys will come for me. You will hear things like "so, your popsy na yahoo boy".

No lele, understood

Wow, he is a beast!

Sorry I mean to type my Barber

netmillionaires:
Hushpuppies everywhere. That is how my baba asked me if I have a USA bank account and I said yes. He asked if someone can send him money through my account and I say YES.... We meet up two days later and I requested to know more about the fund... And he told me his guys in malaysia want to send some money to him. When I heard Malaysia, I had to inquire further only to find out he planned to collect millions of dollars with my account. I curved him straight. Who you wan send go jail... Me wey be said to even scam person of 1k sef, my conscience go kill me.

Keyword, "conscience"

Legalcriminal:
OP it’s better you block that MF ass spend the money and enjoy yourself na just blessing in disguise. Even God know you never chop na why the deal come that way. And for the dude up there no Nigerian police can have the time to work on 14k.

Wrong mentality.

Op, do the needful. Trust me, dis ting called fraud is a destiny killer. All the justification Yahoo Boys give is pure twaddle.

I know the average Nigerian totally lacks ethics and it is hard to live right in Nigeria no matter how hard you try - I mean, if you could get away with offering N2k to a traffic officer to let you go for not wearing seatbelt, you’ll actually thank God for that ‘opportunity’ rather than being a straight arrow and face the music... it’s woven like fabric into our day to day... nonetheless, where we can absolutely do better, let’s do so.

brightalo1010:
Are you a mumu? What if the guy are the same gangs that is running the scam?

Oga. Check my history on NL. This is my home. And he asked - I offered what I know.

I provided a name that is easily verifiable. Likewise that location and is functional. It’s a school - Creche, KG, Primary and Secondary school.

I know you’re trying to help though and everyone needs to be careful.

Tip:
*Always share with someone your movements and details
* If possible, use Google Maps to locate and share your trip with a close person or family; I do that often so that I may be tracked real time.
* Be utterly vigilant when walking or even driving especially in low population/quiet areas. Develop a habit of self awareness.
* Pray to God. Na im get de final power.

Cheers.

OverBoard.

incogni2o:
Thanks, will sincerely appreciate

Hello. I'm told there is vacancy for KG and nursery only.

If interested, go to Eveland School, Mabo Street (after Bishop Road), Surulere. It's not far from Mushin.

incogni2o:
Please does any one have any Vacancy for Primary SChool teaching Job.

I live at Mushin

Let me confirm and get back to you tomorrow.

Oluwole Dada is trying to make sense but his points, save for Cost Leadership - and in Dangote’s case is somewhat questionable or how it’s achieved is likely due to effects of favouritsm - so I’d beg to differ.

Differentiation is a factor he also mentioned and that totally misses the mark. He’s just made mention of a phenomenon that is not applicable to Dangote’s products. Dangote does not produce any product in the technology sector that fits into the form of what the gentleman is using as defense.

If he is talking about differentiation as may be applied to a wide range of product offerings across categories, then that makes it even more confusing...

Perhaps price differentiation is true for Dangote products, I can’t independently confirm as my personal experience doesn’t seem to support it. I could be wrong though.

However, for features, no; coverage, maybe; reputation, maybe.

Even using focus as a strategy leaves me miffed as he fails to hammer on how exactly Aliko utilizes this.

I’m still learning but to me, laser beam focus is not present at Dangote Industries as Dangote is a branded house with diverse products unless he means each category he enters into, he tops it through focus. Tell that to the marines when we talk of his noodles/flour foray.

Nonetheless, Dangote does employ tens of thousands of Nigerians and the impact of this singled out without reference to the alleged favoured-by-government and other perceived crimes is laudable.

And given the same opportunity, some may not be able to convert that grace to the money-spinning world class industries as Dangote has and for that at least, some enviable measure of intelligence and entrepreneurial prowess is present.

(Created this new account to post for a sister)



Please help advice a sister in confusion.....


Background:


"I reconnected with my old school toaster who always spoke marriage and love.
Got serious in 5 months.
I've met a lot of people from his end within this period.
He shows me off.
Introduction was done and wedding date fixed."

Issues:
Traditional is barely a week away; yet she's bleeding and scared of the future because of her discoveries:

1. The husband to be has anger issues. Ok, he's all nice and good when in good mood. But once something triggers him, all hell is let loose. The trigger can be a simple missing his call(while at work/meeting). No amount of sweet talk or explanations calms him down.

2. The shocker is that he cheats/has a fuckmate living nearby. She discovered this with evidence from their chats and hasn't been herself. The chat is detailed description of their exploits right up to the present and future plans how they'll continue after he's married. (From same chat, the other lady is aware he's getting married.
He tried denying it; when it didn't work he started making excuses/begging he'll change.

3. He doesn't want any third party intervention in their affairs, not even counseling.

She's scared of the future and yet feels stuck as court marriage is done already, most preparations have been done(publicity and most of other physical arrangements), both for the traditional and wedding.


Kindly give your mature advice; she'll be reading every bit of it.
(Admin kindly push to front page)

I’m a guy and all I can say is: “Run! Deng-deng-deng-deng-deng-deng-deng...”

Tommy6000:
Yeah. Thanks for dropping your thoughts. Well these are the kind of people I was referring to, when I said they worked an angle for him to get the win. Anyways though, I should have mentioned names.. thanks.

You're welcome.

PAQ:
Let me add a couple more for you;

1. Gangs of London
2. Survivors Remorse
3. Gringo
4. Sahara
5. Mr Johnson
6. Phat girlz
7. X-men origins
8. Lost
9. Critical assignment
10. The bourne Identity
11. Sugar Hill

The OP is a learner!

Well done. Kudos to @HEAVEN4444 and @ZooOga as well for the Sugar Hill mention. That’s was one of the first times I particularly witnessed anything Nigerian-related in a Hollywood movie.

Miami Vice of the 80’s did however had an episode about drugs from Nigeria.

“President Buhari” was literally predicted to be in a season of 24 that I can’t remember.

One stupid movie used our coat of arms in a letterhead for something utterly unrelated to Nigeria.

I think it is Children of Men, a movie featuring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Clive Owens amongst other had a wailing song
In Igbo.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje in prison series Oz in a scene where he was about to fight I think), said “Oya”.

If I remember anymore I’ll update this post.

You should’ve named the person or people na.

Anyway, I don’t disagree.

This album by my standards was just ok, notin mega and I’d pick Fireboy DML’s over it... I even prefer African Giant to Twice As Tall.

However, it may sound simplistic but could very well have helped are my postulations below:-

I. Diddy’s influence as executive producer is likely the number one factor and may be key;

II. The inclusion of a network some individuals, directly or by proxy like Timbalnd, renowned Youssou N'Dour, Marc Anthony etc

III. All these capped with an earlier nomination, Angelique Kidjo’s dedication of her win then to him; his bold calling-out attitude i.e. SWXSW and resultant higher visibility and so on


Note: Solely my opinion.

Congrats Burna.

rhames:
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Dr. Oba Otudeko was single handedly responsible for sacking Bernard Ojeifo Longe when the ECONET saga befell First bank in the early 2000s. That saga exposed his influence on the board then when Longer went to seek redress in court ending with a fat cheque in his favour.

These Methuselahs should give way for new ideas and progress before they use their unwarranted influence to destroy great brands.

Ha, ha... you’re informed. Spot on.

Back then, Nigerian shareholder like Otudeko were instrumental to the instability in that Telco due to their meddlesome-ness...
