9jatriot:
See another yeye statement.

Let us put this in context so that the character flaw becomes more obvious even as you try to play the ostrich with your 'Cent Obi'.

A man intends to marry, and without being asked, the girl is swearing on her mother's life that she is a virgin. If on the wedding night the groom finds out she is not a virgin, he will be very disappointed. Not necessarily because her virginity was that important to him, but because the lie was, first of all, very unnecessary and secondly, the confidence with which the lie was told, almost swearing on her mother's life. If she had simply said, "I did it in the past and am no longer doing it," or even said, "I do not want to talk about it," it would have given her room to wriggle, not tell an outright lie, particularly when such a restriction is no longer a condition for marriage.

If, after being caught, she now starts claiming that since the sex was in the bathroom, as long as it was not on the bed is even more insulting.

Back to your oga, which one is? Taking a loan without spending it is not the same thing as he taking a loan. And the man is so crafty, just like you, that he is now only focusing on one loan, whereas 8 different loan evidence were provided in the 'go and verify' challenge.
The man in question here is even qualified to marry.
The problem with the other man which is a drug baron. He is not even qualified to marry. He is only qualified for the rope in many countries that have standard or life in prison

ghm:
Let me clarify the 12 years I have been mentioning.

He was governor for 8 years and left in 2014. From 2014 till now (2026) is 12 years. He has been citing the handover note since then, claiming he never borrowed and that the state was debt-free under him. 2014–2026 is the 12 years—not that he was governor for 12 years.

I have studied the handover note and the figures, and have used them in many discussions. Whenever people ask, he says they should go and verify. He even said if anyone can bring evidence, he will drop his presidential ambition. The claim became explanation and personal interpretation when Soludo brought evidence in the 12th year.

Please note: This is just a clarification of my post to you—not support for or against any candidate.
What a joke.So your 12 yrs is even from 2014 to 2026.That is obino 8 yrs and solude first 4 yrs. How is that obi concern.
obi said go and verify him when he was governor for 8 yrs and his hand over notes in 2014.What is his business with debt of this 12 yrs you are talking about here
Bring out debt that was incurred in his 8 yrs and was not cleared before he left in 2014. That is what we want to see.
Not debt before or after he left office.
As a governor he has responsibilities to service debt he met before and if he has enough inflow he could clear it or reduce it.Go and verify is limited to what happened when he was governor and the state finances

That man's video is everywhere right now — and that ₦5,332 is what is making people angry, but that number alone doesn't tell the full story.

*Why ₦5,332 can show up:*

If he bought in 2007/2008, that was Fidelity's big public offer era. Many people paid around ₦5 - ₦8 per share. Let's say he got ∼2,500 to 4,000 shares for ₦20,000.

The market crashed in 2008/2009. Fidelity Bank that was trading around ₦13.23 in January 2008 fell to below ₦1 at some point — it touched ₦0.76 in November 2016.

If he never checked CSCS, never updated his registrar, and never took up rights issues, what the bank statement shows him might be:

1. *Only the residual shares* after corporate actions he missed
2. *Only unclaimed dividend warrant* value that the registrar is holding, not the total portfolio value
3. He is looking at an old dividend account, not his actual share balance in CSCS.

Because today Fidelity is *₦19.10 as of Sept 21, 2026*, up from ₦1.68 in May 2019 to ₦10.20 in May 2024. So on price alone, that old investment should be worth more than 2008, not less.

If he had 3,000 shares and held till now, capital value alone would be about:
3,000 x ₦19.10 = *₦57,300* — before bonuses and dividends.

And Fidelity has actually been one of the best performing bank stocks — *507% gain in 5 years* from 2019-2024, beating the whole NGX All Share Index.

*What anyone in that situation should check:*

- *CSCS statement* — how many units do you really have? Not what a paper share certificate says.
- *Registrar (First Registrars & Investor Services)* — any bonus shares? Fidelity did several bonuses. Unclaimed dividends?
- *Did you pay for rights issues?* If you ignored rights, your percentage holding was diluted.
- *Dividends over 18 years* — Fidelity has paid dividends every year since listing in 2005. Those dividends, if you claimed and reinvested, change everything.

So would land have been better? If he bought land in 2008 in a good location for ₦20k — yes, land would have beaten shares by far in Naira terms. But if you compare shares to shares, Fidelity didn't wipe his ₦20k to ₦5k. That ₦5,332 is likely just one piece — probably one unclaimed dividend cheque — not his total investment value.

If you know someone in this position, tell them to go to their stockbroker with their CHN number and check CSCS, not just the old paper document.
Fidelity Bank 1st IPO in 2007 was priced at N1 per share

In summary: ₦20,000 invested at Fidelity Bank’s IPO in 2007 would have grown into ~₦666,000 today, combining dividends and share appreciation — a more than 33× return over 19 years.

Economic outcast policy of Trump did the job

Iran has proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi revealing the proposal at the UN General Assembly sidelines in New York.

The plan, delivered to the US through mediators, conditions the strait's reopening on the immediate lifting of the US naval blockade, the release of all frozen Iranian assets, and an end to the war on all fronts.

The White House told CNN discussions were "positive and constructive." US and Iran representatives also held direct talks on UNGA sidelines on Tuesday, their first in months.

We’ve already raised money needed for refinery IPO — Dangote



…reveals 10m shareholders target

By Abisola Adigun


Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has disclosed that the ongoing Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals has already raised the amount of money the company set out to attract.

Dangote said the next focus was to broaden ownership of the refinery, with the company targeting as many as 10 million shareholders across Africa.

He made this known during a video interview with CNN International correspondent, Larry Madowo, shared on Madowo’s X page on Monday.

Madowo had told the billionaire about the growing interest among Nigerians on social media, with some users inspecting Dangote’s trucks and visiting his cement factories while describing themselves as investors.

Responding, Dangote said interest in the IPO had extended beyond Nigeria.

“I think this IPO is not only for Nigerians. We’ve got a lot of interest from all over Africa, and we’re selling shares. We’re trying to bring in democracy to our stock markets,” he said.

According to him, the company wants to distribute ownership among a large number of investors rather than have the shares concentrated in the hands of a few people.

“We’re looking at having 10 million shareholders,” Dangote said.

When asked to confirm whether he was confident about achieving the target, the billionaire said the company had already secured the funds it was looking for.

“I’m 100 per cent sure we get 10 million shareholders. I mean, we’ve already raised the money that we’re looking for, so this is just to make sure we spread the wealth across the continent,” he said.

Dangote added that the number of shareholders could eventually be so large that the company might need a stadium to accommodate them at its annual general meeting

The *₦666k narrative is false* because it uses the wrong starting price.

*Here is the verified fact:*

Fidelity Bank's 2007 Hybrid Offer was *₦8.00 per share* - not ₦1.00.

> Fidelity Bank's hybrid Offer of 5,501,100,421 Ordinary Shares of 50k each at *N8 per share* and Rights Issue of 498,899,579 at *N8 per share* opened on Thursday.

- ₦20,000 / ₦8 = *2,500 units*
- At today's ~₦19 - ₦20.50 = *~₦47,500 - ₦51,250* capital value
- Plus dividends over 18 years (Fidelity has paid every year since 2005), but nowhere near ₦600k.

Where did ₦666k come from?

1. Someone took Fidelity's crash price in 2016-2017 when it fell to *₦0.76k - ₦1.15* at the bottom of the banking crash, and pretended THAT was the IPO price.
2. ₦20,000 / ₦1.15 = 17,391 shares (wrong units)
3. 17,391 x ₦19.10 today = ~₦332k + they added estimated dividends/bonuses to pump it to ₦666k.

That calculation uses a *distressed market bottom, not the price the man in the video actually paid in 2007/2008.*

The man in the video lamenting ₦5,332 after 18 years - that ₦5,332 figure is also not his CSCS value. It's likely:
- Only an unclaimed dividend warrant
- Or a partial balance after he missed bonus/rights issues and registrar updates

If he held 2,500 units from 2007 till today without selling, he should have at least ~₦50k in shares, not ₦5k.

This is the exact error everyone missed - *wrong denominator*.

Access Holdings Plc - ₦500m senior unsecured Eurobond fully redeemed at maturity.

*Quick recap:*

- *Issued:* September 2021 under $1.5bn Global MTN Programme
- *Tenor:* 5 years, matured Sept 21, 2026
- *Coupon:* 6.125% fixed, paid semi-annually - all met
- *Funding:* *100% from internal FX liquidity*, no new borrowing / refinancing
- *Impact:* No adverse effect on operations or regulatory liquidity ratios - it was already provisioned in their ALM framework.

MD Roosevelt Ogbonna: _"Meeting this maturity from our own balance sheet affirms the strength of our funding position and the discipline with which we manage our capital and liquidity"_.

*Why market cares:*
In this Naira regime, a lot of Nigerian banks had to refinance Eurobonds because they didn't have dollars. Access paying $500m cash from balance sheet is a strong signal - shows real dollar liquidity, not just Naira capital raise.

It also retires one of their expensive FX liabilities (6.125% in dollars). Expect their next Eurobond if any, to price tighter now.

Aradel Plc

*H1 2026 (Unaudited) - Official:*

- *Revenue:* ₦2.49tn (+577% YoY from ₦368.08bn)
- *Operating Profit:* ₦1.06tn (+789% from ₦118.6bn)
- *Gross Profit:* ₦1.44tn (+782%)
- *PBT:* ₦752.71bn (+293% from ₦191.31bn)
- *PAT:* ₦191.04bn (+30.5% from ₦146.39bn)
- *EPS:* ₦35.37 vs ₦33.26.

*Why PAT grew only 30% when revenue grew 577%?*

Two killers:

1. *Finance cost:* ₦326.14bn vs ₦11.08bn last year (+2,843%)- interest on the debt they used to buy ND Western and Renaissance Africa Energy
2. *Tax expense:* ₦561.7bn vs ₦44.9bn (+1,151%).

*Also confirmed are:*

- *Total Assets:* ₦10.88tn (from ₦9.90tn Dec 2025) - due to provisional IFRS 3 purchase price allocation for those late 2025 acquisitions
- *Production:* 139.5 kboepd average (+523% YoY), crude 55.6 kbopd (+258%), gas 503.2 mmscf/d (+1,121%)
- *Net debt:* Cut 70-90% to ₦46.5bn from ₦475bn, cash at ₦1.72tn, operating cash flow ₦975.6bn
- *Legal contingency:* ₦727.4bn Ogbele field claim is disclosed - management says no expected loss.

So it's an *empire-building quarter* - scale has arrived via acquisition, cash flow is massive, but shareholders will only see the real benefit after finance costs normalize.

Dangote Cement Plc September 2026 Capital Markets Day deck - London presentation led by Arvind Pathak & Gbenga Fapohunda ahead of LSE secondary listing.

Confirmed points:

*Capacity & Capex:*
- Current: *55Mta* installed across 10 plants / 11 countries
- Target: *80+Mta* (adds ∼25Mta via brownfield)
- *$4.5bn group Capex context:* That's actually part of larger *$45bn Dangote Industries plan* targeting $100bn revenue by 2030
- Acceleration: LTM to June 2026 Capex *$694m*, with 78% growth capex.
- Moat: *4.2bn tonnes limestone = 80-year life*, ∼430MW captive power, 10,000+ trucks, 5 ports.

*Balance Sheet de-leveraging:*
- H1 2026 shows *Net Debt/EBITDA (0.09x) and Net Debt/Equity (0.07x)* - net cash ₦215.2bn
- Q1 2026 it was 0.1x, so now negative leverage.
- *Interest coverage 8.1x in H1 2026* (vs 5.0x in FY25) and up to *18.9x annualized* in some disclosures.
- Why? Refinery debt transferred to Dangote Industries Limited (DIL), plus cash gen *₦1.05tn from ops in H1* with *89% cash conversion* and *68% ROCE*.

*Strategy shift - Phase 2 (2026-2030):*
Moving from *geographic expansion (2013-2025) to export-led + building materials platform* - aggregates, mortars, ready-mix, precast.

Itori, Ogun is the hub: *6Mt first phase, all clinker export* to Cameroon, Senegal, Ghana, Togo, Benin - 60% internal use.

Revenue base: *$3.1bn LTM June 2026 (+22% YoY), EBITDA CAGR 50% 2023-25 vs revenue 40%*.

It's no longer just a cement maker. It's becoming Africa's building materials utility, funding its own growth from cash.

An Israeli official was spotted moving around and ticking off the names of countries that left the hall when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

Immediately after the Israeli PM entered the hall, countries staged a walkout. They were protesting against Israeli atrocities in Gaza and Iran.

The walkout prompted the Israeli official to move around the hall and mark off names. However, Cameroon and a few others didn't leave.

I respect this forum a lot and regularly look here to know what is going on (am in diaspora). I often read current posts for information before placing my trades so I do not get blind-sighted by current events that I am not aware of. The forum has been very helpful.
These days, however, I have to sift through lots of posts to see things that are relevant. A lot of the post are about politics. I know politics is always a hot topic, but I wish it is kept to the minimum. in fact it is ok to talk politics as it will affect our portfolio in the near-term. Arguing over politics should best be done on a dedicated forum. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of opinion of my own on politics, but there is no emotion in stock-trading.

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫, 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐂𝐂𝐅 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

A week or two ago, I was hearing news about a national prayer to be organized and spearheaded by the first lady senator, Oluremi Tinubu, and the NSA, Nuhu Ribadu. It's said to be a gathering to seek the face of God with the aim of addressing Nigeria’s numerous challenges.

This shows how unserious our politicians can be when they start looking up to God to come and do what He has empowered them to do. The question is how will a prayer session address Nigeria's numerous problems.

"The initiative, coordinated with Christian and Muslim religious leaders, seeks divine intervention for the country’s social, economic, and security issues, under the theme ‘Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs." (Vanguard, Nov 4, 2024)

Do I believe in divine intervention? Yes, I do.
Is divine intervention needed in Nigeria? Yes, it is.
However, can unrighteous, unkind, wicked, and unjust people be seeking divine intervention over a nation they deliberately made handicapped? The answer is no. Because it's not genuine, they just want to use religion to colonize Nigerians again and siphon money.

Yes, lots of money will be siphoned with this prayer to be organized; it is said that about 313 Islamic clerics will be together to recite some prayers. One thing is sure: the clerics will be appreciated after the prayers, so also the Christian counterparts.

Good to note that there is a forum called the National Prayer Forum (NPF) headed by a director general; the present DG is Chief Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, who actually announced the prayer. So one thing is sure: a certain amount of money will be allocated to this forum yearly, and a special sum for this prayer session will be organized, and everybody will collect their share. It is worth weeping for this nation, because aside from politicians, our other enemies are so-called men of God who have become Gehazi and, like Demas, left their call and followed the world.

I was working through Alausa some days ago, and I saw a commission, NIGERIA CHRISTIAN PILGRIM COMMISSION. For me, we don't need that commission; we are sponsoring and supporting people to go and support another nation's economy or go on holiday indirectly or directly. I'm not against those who go on pilgrimage by themselves, but the government shouldn't be the one to fund people to other nations to go and find the face of God or grow in their spirituality; it is not still clear to me and will never be. Imagine billions that tourists and pilgrims take into Israel and Saudi Arabia's economy every year. What if we develop our tourist attraction more and attract people into our economy? Let tourists come and feel Omi Arakeji of Babalola, "one of the rivers that flow into Eden.".

Once again, do we need prayer? Yes, we do, but as we have always prayed, we must work to make the prayer get answered. Our leaders must take seriously the business of running this nation well.

As I reflect on this thing, I remember one of the standing associations in Nigeria and how it is being run. The tenure of leadership of this association, from the national level to the zonal level, is at most one year, but the association keeps standing all across Nigeria. The question is why? This association keeps standing because it is built on and kept by PRINCIPLES. It is kept by God, actually, but principles and discipline followed by men make the society stand.

The association I am talking about is the Nigeria Christian Corpers Follow (NCCF). As a member, I experienced a society of people who are governed by principles and discipline. My concentration is not on the godliness nor the Christian life nor the unity aspect but on comparing the administration of this association to that of the Nigerian government. In NCCF, when it's time for sermon and prayer, we pray and speak the word, and when it's time for administration and business, we strictly adhere to and speak by business principles. You don't use the grace of God as an excuse when we are having a business and administration section.

We do have a Zenco meeting at the zonal level, just as there is a Genco meeting at both the state and national executive levels. We start the meeting by praying and then a short charge. Immediately after this short charge, we enter business mode, and every executive member has to be responsible for their office; you can't use "by the grace of God" as assurance for what you have to do, nor "God's leading" as an excuse for not carrying out your responsibilities.

I serve as the publicity and media secretary. I have to be responsible and accountable on every matter about media and publicity and not have any frivolous excuse for not carrying out my functions. We all also have to submit a monthly report of what we have achieved, what we plan to do, and request the needed resources to unfailingly meet the set goals for your department and the fellowship in general.

Comparing the Nigerian system to that of the NCCF, we see two administrations that are totally far from one another. One uses divine intervention as an excuse, but one takes administration as real business to do with no excuse.

I think our leaders need to learn from Zenco and Genco meetings in order to become responsible and make our nation great again. I once heard Pastor Sam Adéyemí said that he's practical learning of administration is from taking leadership of NCCF.

The photos below are some exhausted moments after Zenco meeting from 11:30 pm to around 8am and the day I bowed in. It was a real business meeting; all agenda must be touched, and no sleeping; you have to sit upright throughout, and you must use the right words. In a business meeting, I think we can't mention some words, including "God," and you can't smile or laugh; no excuse at all, or else you pay a fine. You also need to wear complete cooperate.

A good crop is a gift from God, but a farmer must still work the land.

Jesus promised Peter a "catch" of fish, but the fishermen still have to cast their net.
