Being learning a lot here, I personally decides to risk 5m last week on the ponzi. 2m for 50% quarterly, 2m for 15% monthly and 1m for 20%. 3 different forex trading firms in Uyo. I advise against it but I needed to take a risk, have been extra careful in my investment years and I think giving out that chunk is cool. Was even thinking of taking it to 30m but I will wait and see how my 5m crashes. (all 3 firms at once).

Sir, I’m not here to make sense to any one o. I’m just a lazy youth trying to point out simple investment wisdom to those that think their money (and promised returns) in investment funds is guaranteed. Past performance is no guarantee of future results ooo. Your money (and promised returns) in any fund is not guaranteed. Historical returns have nada to do with future results. You want guarantee that your money will never disappear, spread 500k around all the banks and then hope for the best for the rest . You want to make good returns, be willing to take the risk that you can lose your money and put in any investment fund. Me educate? How can a lazy youth educate Baba agbas like you that know it all? Na wa for you o

Lazyyouth4u:
Sir, all you are saying is very correct at the moment but any investor should know that money in any fund is not guaranteed. That is my point. Only God knows tomorrow. You ask me to tell you an SEC regulated investment fund that has lost money in the past? Boss, any good investor should know that past performance is in no way related to future performance. I repeat, there are good investment funds around but anything goes wrong tomorrow, an investor can lose everything. No guarantees at all.

Just trying to play devil's advocate.

I don't have pity for people who are scammed.

A ponzi scheme that is very popular on Nairaland and among the youths will find it very difficult to survive another 9 months, the signs are there for those who care to see it

I flunked through school, my secondary education was a mess, I used to score F's like tomorrow no dey. Always averaging between 40 and 50% . I giraffed and cheated alot. But I was good at math, i learnt math in class, teaching it to classmates some of which averaged 70% and above. In my JSS1 I could remember drawing letters instead of copying from d blackboard, I didn't understand the words formation. To be honest most of my grades in the WAEC (2000) exams were a product of copying from my neighbors. I was also among the pioneers of NECO, anybody that took the exam then knows how freely available the expos were.

The first time I did some work was for my jamb prep. I had to study the whole math, physics and chemistry syllabus with no much prior knowledge. It took me 3 attempts to get in my course of choice (the second attempt was fruitful but I messed up the school choices and so had to re-write). In the uni I tried in the first and second year, then in the rest I went back to my ways, lol, ended with a 2.2. Maybe it would have been 3rd if not for those first 2 years.

I was lucky, after NYSC I got an average job in one of those oil servs, courtesy of my uncle. Now, I am doing same thing, my peers have all left to bigger jobs making lots of $$$ and I am still at my drawing desk, 10 years later. I think I am a mess.

Sometimes, I blame Dad for truncating my life. I did my nursery and elementary school in Rome, Italy. I can remember back then I was among the best in my class, my teachers reports were favourable. In my class I was never discriminated against I felt I was like them, used to have a best friend, Fernando Carissimi. It was not to last, my Dad wanted to return to his country Nigeria, without any practical plans.

Ever since, I have been sinking. What I would have been if we had staid back or relocated to better countries like usa or uk, some families relocated to usa back then, it was easier. I know I am being irrational. I also derailed a thread too. I am depressed. I lack d will to act.

University degree in Nigeria is highly exaggerated. Most Nigerians doing very well in businesses never went to university. I've personally never seen the four walls of a university classroom in my life, but virtually none of my friends who went to the university is doing better than me today. We should foucus more on vocational institutions, we need more training centres for our local technicians, plumbers, auto-mechanics, welders, fashion designers, carpenters, etc.

It is really heart-wrenching to know that some states in Nigeria today have more than 8 (ill-equipped) universities and don't have any vocational institutions for the youths. Education and Health centres should never be built by govt or individuals for profits, because these are core institutions that have more to do with humanity rather than profits.

The Igbos are one of the most successful tribes in Africa today due to their ability to learn a hand-work or trade, regardless of their background. University education shouldn't really be for everybody, I am not saying it is bad to get a university degree, but you can still excel in life without one.

Permit me to answer this your question with other questions sir.

Please what is the vision, mission and objectives of wrestling, boxing, football, horse racing, car racing, basketball...etc to the viewers and spectators?

How does it affect their lives especially if they are not club owners, members, shareholders or own businesses that it's earning is directly linked to those club and entertainment outlets?

Finally how does it affect people not interested if they skip the channel and change to other areas of interest or refuse to activate the channel entirely. what if they watch and refuse to participate in Big Brother voting?

Good to read you are safe! Hope you refrain from such risky venture and i hope you will learn some lessons from your frontiers that are facing the ground above. Stay safe.

Donbrig:
But how long are we gonna keep hiding from the unknown? We just have to find a way to make life more secured for everyone. Sometimes, no matter how much you hide or disguise, your life and that of your family will always be in danger, as long you are doing well in life and the majority of your neighbours are in abject poverty.

DexterousOne:
Part of the psychological torture was to keep the Confederate flag flying (which should be treasonous btw) keeping those Confederate statues in the city squares and all that

Not to tall of naming American military bases after traitor Confederate generals
And The racist in the White House is fighting to keep the status quo instead of aligning with the masses to dismantle all these


It has been centuries of psychological warfare
Physical abuse
And systemic racism (which btw still continues)
Other groups got their reparations (Japanese and the Jews for example)
Blacks got nothing

But that's fine
Topic for another day


America fine, is a great country

But it has an ugly underbelly
As we can all see.


I think we have exhaustively talked about the system role in messing up the AAs


Are the AA blameless?

The answer is NO!

My next post is going to be what the AAs role in the messing up of their community has been
Like what role did they play in the current predicament they are in (tho I believe that the systemic racism and oppression is the biggest factor, the AAs themselves have their own fair share of blame)
But this one is subject to request
As I no wan full here with plenty talk

If a few of us are interested
Pls signify or notify

If not
We let it rest

If any of them need a corporate bond at 15%, I will invest.

Because SEC would have scrutinized their books, assets of the company and cash flow from the firms will be under the management of SEC appointed Trustees.
