That is incorrect. Both bank workers, realtors and tech guys are going through it like kilode at the moment.

The current tech job market is not roaring like it was in 2021. As long as the Fed Reserve refuses to slash interest rates, investors will still see US treasury bonds as the safest way to make good returns instead of investing in high-risk-high-upside tech ventures.

Finance bros like Ibime go always chop regardless how anything dey go

All these sectors are getting hit. Its when people have money and a job that they buy houses, House purchase in the last 12-24months have cooled.

There is a judgment against the National Association of realtors at the Supreme court where they ruled that commissions from buyers are not mandatory, So almost half of realtors will lose their commission and income. Likely half wont renew their license cos its expensive to hold when you cant make money. I am still holding my own license so that I can buy and manage my properties by myself and have access to MLS

Banks have reduced number of workers and mostly force you to use the online portal or apps, for some banks e.g BoA you even need to schedule an appointment to see a Banker who is probably a Legacy Merrill Lynch staff, if you walk in they will tell you to go and schedule an appointment, that is because they have reduced front office staffs to bare minimum

All these have a trickle down effect, new car sales are lower, even eating out took a hit and just coming back up

Someone said with the AI intrusion into every sector we might need to revisit the idea of Universal Basic income

We thought its the physical labor that AI will first hit with robots but its looking like its the knowledge economy that is getting hit first. Cos all the jobs based on knowledge can be done by chatgpt with minimal human input

Thinking about it, the only people who wont be affected are owners of land based resources and real estate since thats what AI cannot create yet (New land)

PDPGuy:


You’d be shocked when robots would be developed to construct homes and other buildings. The allure of the robots would chiefly be that they work much quicker and are more efficient than humans. Then once that happens, the construction industry would be hit with a recession

BlueRayDick:

Roland17:

Bruv, ever since i moved to Germany, I realised Putin no be better person and I realized this not through Reuters or Fox News but through interacting with people who are part of my everyday life who were impacted by Putin.

Is it my colleague Oleksandr, who had to japa from a comfortable life in Donetsk because of Putin or our Russian Android Engineer, Dmitry who can not visit his parents in Novgorod anymore because he stands possibility of detention because he is visiting from an "unfriendly country"?

I was on a train to Warsaw and met this Belarusian lady that was basically having to enter Ife-Dili-Chukwu night bus and sneak over the heavily policed Poland-Belarus border because the Belarusian airstrips are closed thanks to Putin‘s stooge

The West no be better people but Putin no be better person at all menh..

.......lineline to sell your dollars is NOW!

BlueRayDick:
Dem really wan finish Bello .

Apparently he paid the $845k for school fees of his five children at American school in Abuja 🤦‍♂️

Not even university o.

And as for APC people that are always blaming the common man for the naira-dollar issue .... una don see people wey dey use the dollars pass no be ur brother and sisters with few thousands of dollars

I saw one with receipt dated 2034/2035

These guys don thief our present, thief for future join... Gaddem

Maybe he wants to commit seppuku and he decides to pay their school fees in advance

afrodoc2:


Yeah, the series threatened to be a hit throughout without ultimately delivering on its early promise.

The producers did little to develop the plot of the novel. They just copied and pasted.

That, and maybe financial constraints are the 2 main reasons for it not hitting the expected high notes. Recreating major battles can be quite tricky and expensive.

That final Battle of Sekigahara should not have been glossed over in such a fashion, and would have brought the miniseries to a climactic end. They also could have used more flashbacks to explain the background of the political situation and the path Toranaga took to get to his position

......EFCC did ask for refund from the School. The School be like; go meet Bello abegi. LOL!

Their closest competitor SLTV is not serious. Their poor picture quality will make you start questioning your own TV. Their agents will even gaslight you about your HDMI port. There is also the issue of watching matches which are 2 minutes late. I wonder if it is still live match.

These are issues stopping me from wasting my money on them but then, I doubt Chelsea gives me so much joy these days to pay DSTV exploitative fee. I will have to look into iptv.

GloriousGbola:


and just like that bello has shown why his fellow northern governors have such big families - for money evacuation purposes via dubious school fees payments

we are likely to find that all these 'international' schools and universities are running money laundering scams for governors and government officials

this is also why the FG reiterated that there will be no dollar payments for services in nigeria.

same way abroad school fees were used to get dollars at official rate by the connected

i just notice that the papers are dated December 2023. looks like EFCC may have actually taken the time to build the case

Ellexy:
But they want to refund the balance na, they asked EFCC for the official request and official account in order to pay the balance.
