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.

God don catch Malu.

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.

Dapson73:
Are you the poorest in Nigeria?

Are you doubting the fact that some of the noisemakers here are poorer than the church rat?

After renting a room and parlour for N1.5b in Abuja, the guy finally has something to pacify noisemakers. Kudos my guy.

I cannot blame him. He knows his people are only good at removing tooth picks from other people's eyes.

They have said the chance of him joining Barca is 0%.

What is it that the Barca board cannot understand. Must they say it in Arabic?

Why Gas Supply Problems Are Holding Aba Power Back

https://www.nairaland.com/8736440/why-gas-supply-problems-holding

The problems are meant to be solved. Besides, a customer is not interested in the excuses afterall the power supply is not for free.

Abi na Adelabu dey in charge of Aba Power ni?

The wife of a thief is a thief.

Go and check now and you will see she is also an expert in maltreating their housemaid.

Typical.

The lies and propaganda of Otti providing 29 hours a day is presently collapsing and coming to the fore.

Las las, una go dey alright.

Each time there is power outage due to shortage of gas, na the same people dey start the wailing.

Now , make una come wail outside.

EponObi:
Always crying victim.

Have you found out if NDC complied with LASG advert placement rules before crying wolf? Abi you think you can just place billboards anyhow on the state's infrastructure?

I know LASG will respond and we will get to know you people were at fault.

Who send their papa? Even if they wail till death, at least their Lord and Saviour will console that it is not enmass.

No wonder Alaye dey eat with Almanjeri.

Just promise them that there will no longer be mass death in the North again because you will ensure doctors go on strike for 13 months.

anonimi:
I wonder if the bank’s management are inspired to do hide and seek with their performance results, just like our statistics bureau that is hiding unemployment rates for several months now.

Have you transfered your ignorance to economic topics too?

A bank doing hide and seek when there are regulators?

Expecting you to change is like expecting Satan to give his life to Christ.

Iamdbull:
Dbull on this one!!!


Isn’t this a bit insensitive coming after the loss of Taiwo Hassan, someone they featured together in what was his first big break

Surely, all of the actors and actresses should still be fasting now because of the death of Ogogo.

I can tell u for a fact that she's 41. She was in GH Lagos this year for a minor surgery. I personally positioned her on the operating table.

The fact that she told you she is 41 doesn't make her 41.

The fact that she came to GH and claimed 41 does not make her 41.

Even if her NIMC card says she is 41, that does not validate the age.

It is only someone who does not know Cossy came into limelight that will agree she is 41.

She for claim 25 na.

Silentgroper:

mikeapollo:
You have a point in pointing out the nonchalant attitude of the FG.
But the truth is, if the FG does not lead by good policy initiatives and example, the states cannot solve the power problems by themselves alone.
Who controls the gas that would be used to generate the electricity? Who owns the grid etc?

I am yet to see a state that has taken tangible steps to enviable position in the power sector only to come out and claim that it is the gas that the FG controls that is preventing it from giving adequate power to her residents and indigenes. If there is any that says it is the grid controlled by the FG that is the stumbling block, kindly let us know.

MrVitalis, your Lord and Saviour has spoken again.

Do not pretend you cannot see this thread o.

What Economic justification do you have for this comment?

Delat521:
Infact I was perplexed when I read the headline. This is guy is not presidential at all. Atleast at this level of engagement he should have put together excellent media group to do this kind of job.

He's just saying thrash as if he's talking to kindergarten boys. This not a best rejoinder for that kind of attack on him. He failed woefully. Obi needs thorough tutelage before he can think to seek presidential ticket. Infact he would have good to deputize Atiku now to learn the rob. It's not too late and chance of him becoming president is much more feasible thru that apprenticeship under Atiku.

The irony of it is, there are some comments attributable to him that you are first tempted to fight on his behalf that he never made them.
