Dey play if you think say na the Computer Science Curriculum in Nigeria go help you get tech job 😂

Anybody who has made one naira from tech was either Self-Taught, or they enrolled in a Boot camp/Tech Courses outside school.

But the certificate does give your skill some leverage among peers of equal skillset.

You are correct. The degree in computer science is to enable you know how to fry Akara and make kuli kuli.

Na so una go Siddon for Nairaland dey Yan opata. Move go front, you no gree. Comot for road, you say Lai Lai.

Saraki boi boi don talk.

Make we wait for Peter Ibe to come and second the motion.

TheFreshVanilla:
That's because you come from a poor background. So to you everything is all about money.

Very poor nameless, non existing background.

I thought they said obi is a leader

Kwankwanso just wan use d lamba

Tinubu till 2031.

He could be a leader but not where Seriake is.

Dem no born am well make hin no stand with the hands at the back where Seriake dey Siddon. Go and verify.

Classicals:
It's foolhardy to have believed everyone supporting Obi was doing it for the love of a better Nigeria

Fake hijabite sef wan go collect PRADO, police escort, constituency project money amongst others while still deceiving the gullibles. My opinion will change the day any of those in the legislature who got there on the platform of LP return the loot they are presently collect or even reject it .

Akujuriobi:
Commander in Chief of the armed forces that can order arrest, are you people sure that 10% kickback did not exchange hands?

Nigeria my Country.

E be like say e don tey wey you commot Naija.

Who collects 10% again?

Hierarchy of the collection:
Honorable Minister---- 25%
Perm Sec-------------------X %
Director--_------------------Y%

Other categories including Secretary, Clerk, Messangers etc -_---------Z%

Wetin con remain?

Contractor collects the balance and sees it as his share of the National cake.

clarocuzioo:
So over #14B was dished out to this company without any form of oversight?

Now Umahi is playing to the gallery because he was called out.

Well said.

Who pays N14b and shirk in it's responsibility?

One, two, three , four months and you didn't know that the contractor has defaulted?

The playing to the gallery no be small.

Oga professor should wake up jare.

Maybe Naija don tire am.

He should try it Sha. At least, no be watery beans Dem go give am chop.

Streetinvestor2:
Like how other regions has seen what the present government has represented for almost 4 yrs.It has shown regional appointments is beautiful ideology
So nothing wrong if Atiku has the interest of his region too at heart .Has alot of policy and contracts not favoured lagos than many states in the North. Look at the investment in air/sea ports in lagos

I am still waiting to read your comment on the re-classification of Nigeria as a frontier market. How come something like that escaped your view?

Itzlinda:
Atiku said he will open all land borders if elected.

Seems like Atiku is coming with everything in his arsenal to make sure he wins this time.

He's promising to implement many populist policies if he get elected

Less of populist policies and more of the last kick of a dying horse.

1. The borders are not closed.

2. Even if the borders are closed and are to be opened, it is hundred times more to favour his people especially the rich that made their money through smuggling. The earlier the other regions see what he is trying to push, the better.

3. Is selling National assets part of populist agenda? At least, AA body language and antecedents can and will always show where he stands on that.

4. D'banj asked , why me? Balloteli asked, why always me? We are asking AA, why now?

Safyqueen:
Check this out.

1. POS = Peter Obi's Supporterss.

2. PVC = Peter's Victory Card.

3. PDP = Peter Deserves the Presidency.

4. APC = Actualization of Peter's Concept.

5. LP = Leveraging on Peter.

6. APGA = Alliance with Peter Gives Assurance.

7. N.N.P.P. Nigeria Need Peter as President.

Maybe you should consider:

1. PDF= Peter Defines Failure

2. PWD = Peter Will be Defeated.

Hips don't lie............. Shakira.

nairalanda1:
SO for ten years the school was admitting law students, despite not being accredited as a law school?

Nigeria we hail thee...and this one is not on government, it is on the school.

Now we have generations of students whose future is hanging because of deceit.

The school is not up to ten years.
Educate yourself.

Jamieb:
The question is , how many hearses are in the state. Banning without a prior provision of what's to take over is just one of the anyhowness associated with Nigerian leaders.
That's how one man woke up and removed subsidy without anything put in place to make it's removal unfelt by the populace.

Oga, it is not the duty of the state government to provide hearses.

Operating an hearse is a private, lucrative business. Go there and start a business instead of lamenting as usual on Nairaland.

And the only achievement he can point to is insulting Obi Ezekwesili.

Well, they are birds of a feather.

Shinedu, invoke the spirit of the ancestors and get the hell out of there.

essentialone:
No, they are not exactly the same. But registrars sometimes accept one in place of the other.

1. Signature Mandate Card
This is the card your bank gave you when you first opened your Domiciliary account.
It has: Your specimen signature, account name, account number, and the bank’s stamp.
Purpose: To prove to the registrar that you are the real owner of that Domiciliary bank account and that the signature on your letter matches the bank’s record.

2. Banker’s Confirmation Letter
This is a letter your bank writes afresh for you, based on your request.
It has: Your account name, account number, account type, branch, and confirmation that the account is active and in good standing. Signed + stamped by the bank.
Purpose: To confirm the bank account details you gave the registrar are correct and active.

What Greenwich Registrars usually want for USD Dividend Mandate:

- Domiciliary Account Details - Name, Number, Bank, SWIFT
- Letter of Instruction - signed by you
- Means of ID - NIN/Int'l Passport/Driver's License
- Proof of Account Ownership - This is where it gets confusing. Most registrars will accept either:

Option A: Copy of Signature Mandate Card + Bank Statement.

Option B: Banker’s Confirmation Letter on bank letterhead

The Banker’s Confirmation is safer and more accepted because it’s current and on letterhead. Signature Mandate Cards are old and many people don’t have them anymore. I am guessing you may not even still have yours. Na joke o.

My advice for you:

Call or email Greenwich Registrars first and ask:

"For USD dividend payment mandate, do you accept a Banker's Confirmation Letter, in place of Signature Mandate Card?"

9 out of 10 times they’ll say yes. Then scan that letter + other docs to them.

Please Sir, when did banks consumer begin to have access to their signature mandate cards?

I am just curious to know sir.
God bless you Sir.

Nothing new in VDM speech...
We they hear d same tins everyday from every bike man we carry

Exactly.

Nothing unheard of.

All the best to you ma

She's from Ifo local government, same axis with Yayi

1. Ifo LG is not the same with Yayi.

2. Yayi is from the Egbado division of Ogun state.

3. People of Ifo are not in any way Egbado.

Citizens are ready to show them love any time any where.

They should just shelve their babaric attitude towards citizens even without provocation.

You will not want to encounter these guys in their animalistic form.

Tenses:
All these perimeters that are not verifiable, tinubu will claim any bogus figures on them to deceive Nigerians that the economy is stable.

It is only a F... that will claim what is available to him at the click of a button is not verifiable.

Indeed, there is education and there is common sense.

Jamieb:
I no know where the rebound happened ooo, my own is still recording loss here ooo. Make Stanbic Holdings no whine me oo

So, it is when you own portfolio rebounds that there is a rebound?

Anyone who claims to own shares should be more sensible na.

Freshtruth:
He did well , he never woe salaries, the league improve during his time he brought private sponsors to the league just that luck was not just on is side the only mistake he made he to relief genert rohr at a very crucial stage of his job. Amaju us the right man odebami is not exposed

The same Amaju that said no financial reward for any other national team aside the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons?

Please, let us know the sponsors he brought to the league because it is not the duty of the NFF to do so.

So, not qualifying the Super Eagles for the WC was due to bad luck?

Well done Sir.

Aboki Gusau wants to give us something to pacify us after being asked to account for N12b.

Judolisco:
Congratulations to her.... Where is Michael Johnson who said Amusan's record wasn't possible.... Let's hear his opinion on his fellow American

You will not here the werey speak again.
That comment then has discounted him by more than 50%.

That Masai girl is in hot form. She has beaten Tobi at least two times in the last two months.

Relocate to Nigeria.
IF Nigeria was too good, come back home
I have notice a trend of South west brothers/ sisters living in UK/CANADA/US saying Nigeria is too good
I encourage them to come home, live in Nigeria, then we will know that THE DIFFERENCE BTW 7UP/ WATER IS CLEAR
I am not a politician.These are hard in Lagos, House Rent is killing us
i rest my case
Oversea brothers

Your tribal sentiments na follow come.

Is it only in Lagos that things are hard?
The house rent that is killing, is it only in Lagos or the south west?

Your observations that it is only your south west brothers that are saying Nigeria is good is simply the icing on the case.

Someone has given an idea of what happens in UK and Canada, why not beg your Chi to open a way for you so that you go to those places and confirm his lies.

NB: Kindly note that this segment of Nairaland is hardly for people like you. Try the general or politics section.

Why Is GTBank Delaying Its Financial Results For The First Half Of 2026?

There's an old saying on Wall Street: when a company requests more time to publish its financial results, it's rarely because the numbers are too good to release immediately. Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc recently obtained an extension from the Nigerian Exchange Limited to delay the release of its financial results for the first half of the year, covering the period ending June 30, 2026, pushing the deadline to September 30, 2026. We are informed that the board of directors approved these results on July 28, 2026. However, weeks later, GTCO still cannot, or will not, disclose even an interim report to the market, unlike other institutions.

To be clear about what's happening, while other financial institutions in Nigeria have released their interim half-year financial statements to investors with the punctuality of professionals, GTCO is still "awaiting the necessary regulatory approvals" before it can publish anything. The group's general counsel and company secretary, Erhi Obebeduo, offered the usual reassurance: if the approvals come soon, the results will be published soon. How reassuring. How predictable.

These are interim results, not audited statements. Interim reports are, by design, less burdensome to produce. They require less granular scrutiny, fewer sign-offs, and shorter review cycles. They are the financial equivalent of a progress report, not a doctoral thesis. Yet GTCO cannot manage even this modest obligation within the standard window. If a bank cannot produce an unaudited half-year summary on time, what exactly is happening inside its finance department?

The question every serious investor should be asking is: what exactly justifies such prolonged regulatory oversight for an interim report? The Central Bank of Nigeria's review process for interim disclosures is nothing new. It's not an unexpected obstacle that appeared overnight. Yet GTCO needs an additional two months to clear the hurdle for figures. Is the Central Bank of Nigeria examining its accounts with unusual skepticism? Or was GTCO's management working behind closed doors to present a plausible version of events before the inevitable disclosures?

Context demands that we view this delay with deep suspicion. After all, this is the same institution that, in the first quarter of 2025, recorded a staggering 41% drop in pre-tax profits. The same institution whose full-year 2025 results showed a 15% decline in profit after tax to ₦865.75 billion, thus surrendering Nigeria's banking crown to Zenith Bank. The same institution whose first-quarter 2026 results, while superficially stable at the pre-tax line, revealed a worrying 15% drop in profit after tax to ₦218.13 billion and a collapse in earnings per share from ₦7.83 to ₦5.89. The pattern is unmistakable. This looks like a controlled downward trajectory, disguised with corporate euphemisms.

Now, in mid-2026, with competitors having already laid their interim cards on the table, GTCO is asking for more time. The market is expected to wait patiently while the "lead regulator" conducts its review. But let's call a spade a spade: this is a delaying tactic that reeks of either disastrous figures in need of cosmetic surgery, or an internal crisis so severe that the institution cannot produce a coherent interim report within the usual timeframe. Neither explanation inspires confidence.

When companies like Stanbic IBTC Holdings announce an interim corporate action framework earlier in August 2026 and GTCO, once the crown jewel of Nigerian banking, needs an extension after a year of decline, more than a few eyebrows must be raised. When a bank with GTCO's resources, pedigree, and infrastructure cannot match the disclosure discipline of its mid-tier competitors, one must wonder what is rotting inside the vault.

The group's CEO, Segun Agbaje, has spent the last eighteen months talking about "sustainable revenue," "core revenue streams," and "ecosystem businesses." His rhetoric is convincing. However, the figures haven't reflected reality. And now, when the market most needs transparency to assess whether the bleeding has stopped, GTCO is hiding behind regulatory delays for even its unaudited numbers. This is an insult to the intelligence of all shareholders who have watched this stock lag behind while its competitors' stocks have soared.

Of course, other possibilities exist. Perhaps the delay was entirely unintentional. Perhaps the Central Bank of Nigeria was conducting an unusually thorough review of GTCO's interim accounts for reasons unrelated to material deficiencies. Perhaps the figures were spectacular, and the regulator simply wanted to verify their superiority. But if you believe that, I have a bridge in Lekki to sell you. In the real world, where capital is allocated based on trust and punctuality, delays breed suspicion. And suspicion, once rooted, is difficult to eradicate.

The Nigerian capital market deserves better. Investors who have held GTCO shares throughout its decline, from the pinnacle of Nigerian banking to its current stagnation, deserve more than vague promises and extended deadlines. The board approved these results on July 28. What has happened in the weeks since? What discussions have taken place between the board and regulators? What revisions have been requested? The silence is deafening.

GTCO's management would do well to remember that, in the age of instant information, a lack of transparency is not a strategy, but an admission. An admission that something is wrong. An admission that management is not well organized. An admission that the "significant change in earnings quality" promised in the first quarter could have simply been an accounting maneuver designed to mask the disappointment of the following quarter.

September 30th is the new deadline. The market will be watching closely. But above all, the market will be asking itself: if the first half of 2026 is truly worth celebrating, why is it taking two more months to share the champagne?

#Copied...

Though copied, Mr essentialone , I want to believe you should know better.

Can you just point to any of the FUGAZ that has posted or come out with it's results? How many of them has not sought for extension?

Like I said, you should know better and not be copying nonsense that anyone posts anywhere out of ignorance.
