I don't think he's a bad coach. National teams IMO are very difficult to coach.

Good morning, guys.

Is it possible to find a stolen laptop?

Short answer - No. Not in Nigeria.

Some laptops come with compu trace which will send its location if reported stolen. However I doubt computrace works here.

You can also install an app called prey, though I'm not sure how well it works in reality


https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/find-and-lock-a-lost-windows-device-890bf25e-b8ba-d3fe-8253-e98a12f26316

In theory the steps above will work however
1) you need to already have an account on the device
2) the device needs to have its ssd already encrypted
3) the device needs to have bios password
4) device needs to secure boot enabled.
5) the device needs to be connected to the Internet so you can track its location

Most of the steps listed need to have been done before the laptop is stolen and prevent the thief from accessing the laptop to change any settings.

I am frankly not certain you can track non enterprise devices that are enrolled by the it dept. Those ones if you like format. Once they connect to Internet they immediately connect to office server for login.

The best you can do is protect your data by encrypting your ssd. (do NOT do this if you do not have a Microsoft account, because the key is easy to lose if you are not an anal retentive techie)

Then protect the laptop (its mobo anyway) by password locking it

Further protecting your info by enabling secure boot. Without secure boot I can log into your laptop using Linux and copy out all your files.

nkiri sweet ,thanks @sportweb

National teams are hard to coach so he has not looked like a good coach, so where is the evidence of his good coaching?

Trust me bro?

He has not looked like a good coach bawo?

I meant, he has not done badly coaching a national team which is difficult to coach. He should do better with utd.

There was even no time dollar fell to 1400 yesterday. Just ignore the sensational headlines.

What happened was that Abokis were syphoning dollar from mugus at 1400 and selling it at 1500.

Banks were still doing 1500 yesterday if you sell to them and some foolish people were selling to Abokis at a 100 naira discount. Even the official rate on NAFEM closed at 1492.

It's not necessarily sensationalist.

Since the demise of Binance P2P/NGN Spot, the parallel market rates (both P2P and Aboki rates) now track the CBN rate.
https://www.cbn.gov.ng/rates/ExchRateByCurrency.asp
Thus, the CBN can now manipulate both the NAFEM and Black Market rates.
All it has to do is sell a tiny amount in NAFEM at a super low rate, and it'll drag down its rate as well as the NAFEM and Black Market rates.
In fact, yesterday it sold at 1350 and that's what dragged the NAFEM rate to 1492.
Today's CBN rate would be less than 1450 and P2P/Aboki will buy at less than 1400.

Why is all of this happening?

Let's circle back to February.
The CBN made a backroom deal with foreign investors.
It'll dramatically increase the fixed-income rate.
The investors will bring their FPI dollar to buy the naira-denominated TBills.
And thanks to the $ inflow, the CBN+FG will use a combination of unorthodox and orthodox measures to drive down the exchange rate.

It's a no-brainer.
The early birds brought in $500m+ (closer to $1B) at 1600+ rate.
And that's why the CBN sold an unprecedented N2.5T in TBills in two weeks.
https://nairametrics.com/2024/02/23/cbn-sells-another-n1-58-trillion-in-treasury-bills-interest-rate-at-19-for-364-day-bill/
A cross-section of analysts from the bulge bracket expect end-of-year rates to be lower than 1200.
Which means their expected ROI is to be 19%+ from TBills + 25%+ from naira appreciation.
At least 44%. Risk-free.
It's the play of the year.

Now, the CBN is keeping its side of the bargain.
We're in Spring. Dollar demand is habitually low this season.
In addition, the aforementioned high-rate fixed income pivot drove $ demand lower.
So it's remarkably easy for Cardi B to manipulate the rates.
Whatever his target rate is, he can get it with a few million dollars.

The first big test will be this Summer.
Demand will surge.
All the people who balked at vacationing at 1900, will splurge at 1200-1400.
Import numbers will rise.
In fact, in the short term (over the next few months), the humongous bill of this sly plan will become apparent.

All of that said, we should be looking at a couple of months of FX stability.
This is an unambiguous positive for the administration.
I still think Cardi B is in over his head.
But he has got his hard-fought W... for now.
At least, businesses should begin to notice an uptick in economic activity and those who had suspended japa plans should get back on the horse.

I don't think yesterday has anything to do with CBN. The slide started in the early hours of the day before NAFEM even opened. Check P2P buy rate today, it's almost at 1500.

The impression I'm getting from the CBN is that they are happy to keep the rate around 1500 seeing how easy it is for them to defend.


Btw, what happens after one year when the OMO and tbills they sold mature and investors start moving their money? They will roll out high interest rates to keep them?

Or they are hoping crude oil production will go up over the next one year and they won't need as much inflow from FPIs to defend the currency.

Sometimes I wish I can have a peep into the future.

Anybody wey carry him dollar go sell for Aboki dey whine himself. The official exchange rate is already competitive and transparent, who Aboki chop, na them sabi.

Someone is talking about lack of foreign exchange to defend Naira, you are countering with Tinubus suggestion of quantitative easing as response to the pandemic at the height of the pandemic in March 2020 when most countries enacted QE. Nobody asked Meffy to be printing 24/7 to balance budget, your screenshot is time specific to March 2020 when most of the Worlds GDP collapsed by up to 30% so everyone knows that suggestion is time-specific, and what it is in response to. USA GDP growth for March 2020 highlighted below for example.

Quantitative easing is a recognised policy tool to jumpstart consumption during severe economic downturns. along with aggressive rate cuts and asset purchase programs; and every economist called for that all around the world during COVID as a textbook response to the slump of March 2020.

Ignorance should not be worn on the head as a badge of honour. Someone is talking A, you are talking B.

What was tinubu saying here in 2014?
Abi was this in response to COVID-19 in 2014?


Look at that last screenshot.
What does it tell you about Tinubu and the type of policy he would chase and how that's different from anything he has done😁.

First bank is even displaying 1504 on my app. Why will I sell to Aboki?

I hear they are buying 1455 today. I'm sure there will be no shortage of mugus who will sell to them.

No, you can only sell to them. You can't buy.

Finland, the happiest country in the world. 7th year in a row now.

Finland is more like a welfare state to me. Their social programme is great. Government somehow acts like a safety net to her citizens.

In Nigeria, our social programme is full of corruption and all. Our biggest problem is corruption.

Been a while we've seen Amoto here. I hope he's okay?

Consensus ko, census ni.

Even Pochettino’s PA on your thread (Popi) has offered to send assassins after Poch if he is not sacked at the end of this season.

The consensus on your thread is that Poch has to go. The debate on that has ended long time ago.
That is why you guys need a good coach (in your opinion) like Southgate to steady the ship.

The defence vs attack issue is still being debated, that is why it is not a consensus. You know consensus means agreement , right? 😄

Apart from ocassional emotional outbursts when we lose, no one on our thread is saying Poch has to go.

And let me rephrase. Depending on what side of the divide you are, there's an agreement that we either need to improve the attack, defence or both.

If we remove occasional from the sentence, it means ur fans always call for Pochetinho's sack everytime u lose which is like once or twice in 3 match streak

I think u should thank afrodoc for offering u the services of Southgate to lift u out of the 10th zone.
