The human soul is filled with wickedness and only those who strive daily not to unleash those demons are worthy to be called human. Not everything is the devil's fault, some humans wicked pass Lucifer.
Just ask the angel that directed my destiny to Nigeria, one word for him "wicked"

I thought I was the only one... Imagine someone like Joke Silver!!!
I'm sure they are somehow coerced and one thing is certain,their conscience will be judging them

Racoon:
What is baffling is that people even find it convenient to go for any APC campaign.To see and hear the same gang of vallians responsibility for the sorry state of Nigeria @ present?

A party cum government that ought to have apologised for bastardizing every facet of our national life have the audacity to be demanding for another fresh undeserved mandate..

The APC is just a no for Nigeria in the subsequent political dispensation hence must not only be kicked out by every sane citizen but totally annihilated from out national life.

SIRTee15:
Calm down, nobody earning 5 million per month japa to UK. Most UK migrants are working class Nigerians who sold their assets or raise significant money to relocate. You preaching to the wrong people.
However, UK is still a good place for professionals like doctors and IT. They make good money, u can't convince those ones not to leave.
Finally, the world is now heavily globalised, the present migration pattern cannot be reversed. Too late for that. The matrix are in charge and that's what they want.
Hispanics are taking over America, Canada and Australia keeps bringing foreigners. Even prosperous middle East countries is flooded with foreigners.
B[b]y 2100, the main skin colour in western Europe will be light brown with a minority white skin.[/b] All this replacement theory can't hold shit.
Even Trump with all his MAGA and save America noise was thrashed in mid term elections. Now he's seen more as a burden than asset in republican party.

Hmmmm...... something not right. She wants to make a call .... why not get the credit and let her make the call? ... why not make her connect to her family or whoever that may assist her? The guy is of absolutely no help to her.... not even direct her to the Embassy .....but is pitching for donations. If you ask me both he and she be running scam .... homeless people don't ever be so clean.... and dirt free bright red jacket? I'm not swallowing this one.

Reference:
So because he can't win he shouldn't contest to change the narrative.

I don't understand how these so called intellectuals think.
If all the benefits of 23 years of 5th Republic democracy spread over 6 general elections is about winning and losing and not developing the country through a competition of ideas and philosophies then I cannot see the point and benefit to Nigerians.

Whenever we progress down the road of error such as this let us take a minute to sum the amount of resources running in to trillions spent on this so called democracy and pointless elections since we insist it is all about winning and losing and no more.

MikeofAfrica:
The truth is bitter. What Soludo just did is spiting the bitter truth on our faces.

From my previous posts, you can verify that I support Peter Obi but at the same time I always point out that he cannot win 2023 election unless the extra- ordinary happens.

Nigerians vote along tribal sentiments, religion sentiments and party structures. None of these factors favour Obi.

He can only win if majority of APC & PDP Governors sabotage their parties and work for him. This will make him have the advantage of party structure.

Without this happening, Obi winning 2023 election will remain a daydream.

Goldbw122:
In life we don't know the future, but we will still try even when we know that we will not win, we will still out up a good fight and nothing is wrong with a good fight.. nothing.. just keep fighting until the best is achieved..

emkz:
Your premise and conclusion are contradictory. You state that Peter Ovi is not a Saint, but go further to state that he is a Saint among the top three.

My brother, does what you said make sense to you? You imply "no one says Obi is tall, but among short people, he is tall". Is that statement not absolute rubbish to you? In other words, you are saying in general, he is not a Saint, but in specific reference to the three, he is a Saint. He is either a saint or he is not. Please think about it.

Tareq1105:
My own challenge with Atiku is that he's a capitalist to the core and 2ndly, he can sell anything (government assets) at any price and to anybody (friends and cronies). For me, this is what Atiku represent.

Kennyfancy:
Whatever you think, always remember that the world is more safe with American as the control head than any other countries being the control head,,,,So let your reasoning be defendable

EteBabaagba222:
I will neva support any politicians. But d way you obi followers dey talk, dey make someone hate him more. Do you knw how many US presidents that can't defeat Taliban? I beg... change d constitution not politicians.

Roboto11:
How else?

Can you explain why a known group of indigenous people in US never had access to services?

Isn't America meant to be the leader of the free world?

vickydevoka:
What could lead to such disagreement and how can we prevent it. Thanks

Student visa is not equal to japa. I keep telling anyone who cares to listen. If a person wants to japa they need to make a solid plan and follow through their plan. For the UK if one is unable to meet the academic and financial obligation, they can get withdrawn with their visa curtailed hence mandating them to leave the country. Again if they complete their studies but do not receive clearance from the university, they will not be able to apply for the post study visa. In addition if they are unable to secure a job+workvisa sponsor after the post study visa they'll need to study again or leave the country. While working, they'll need to maintain some work status for 5 years to qualify for permanent resident visa. There are many IFs in this journey and always a good idea to keep as many options open.

Before I would have just ask you to read the beginning of this thread and the other thread for mutual fund for better understanding but lots of pages have piled up so it won't be easy.


1. As an intending investor, yours is to look at Treasury Bills as a short term government debt. Meaning government borrowing money from you that is willing to invest now for certain reasons and at the end of the day pay you a certain percentage for that money borrowed. Though it is through the banks and other financial houses that the money is collected, the borrower, end user or benefactor is government.

While you should look at Stanbic IBTC mutual funds on the other hand as the asset management arm of Stanbic IBTC collecting/ pooling money from you and other investors to invest in different classes/types of asset (depending on the mutual fund) on your behalf.

2. They don't usually have the same rate. TB Rates are usually guided by the CBN MPR. While mutual fund rates is dependent on the underlying asset class of the particular mutual fund.

3a.For treasury there is primary market auction which is scheduled for every 2 weeks (Here you have 90, 180 and 365 days tenure). The auction day of the week is mostly Wednesdays so you can just go to the bank on Monday of the auction week to put you request.

There is also secondary market auction which could happen every week day depending on the bank and availability of TB disposed to be auctioned. Here the tenure you get is the tenure available. It could be 356, 10, 27, 18, 99 or 63 days etc. Any tenure less than 364 could be available. It also limited to particular time frame. Eg The last I know of Stanbic is from 10 am - 1 pm.


b. For mutual funds you can invest anyday, anytime. It is not particularly tenured per day. You could deposit and withdraw at will.

LOl

So quick?

I thought some of you guys believe Obi will win the coming election and succeed Buhari?

The reason why the subsidy is not gone (and it has been there since 1973) is not because of 'The North'...and the North does not benefit directly from subsidy.

The reason is simple. If subsidy went by September 2022, the price of fuel will go up to N492 per liter. Maybe as high as N500 per liter. That would mean higher prices from most small and medium scale enterprisies and businesses...and higher transport costs...which mean, in the interim, higher food prices.

That is politically expensive. It has nothing to do with the North, and everything to do with Nigerians not being willing to pay higher prices for fuel or for food, and a host of other things.

The marketers, and importers, and NNPC won't be directly affected...infact they would have enough profit to ensure fuel would flow easily.

No Nigerian leader up till today wants to remove subsidy. Even the three main candidates are talking about removing subsidy, but won't be willing because it would spark riots nationwide...that would make ENDSARS look like child's play.

I have talked about removing subsidy on this site for a long time. Guess who are the people that abuse and curse and shout and call me oppressor....they are mainly Southerners.

Smuggling even is not just a Northern acitivity...it is also done by big Southern businessmen, and by hundreds, if not millions of Northern and Southern young people. (I even confronted one SOutherner involved in smuggling on this site....yes, he was a Southerner.).



TLDR: The problem with subsidy is not the North, it is the fact that Nigerians want cheap fuel.
