Otedola would make profit because he would have sold his newly bought shares at the prevailing market rate.

Nigeria stock exchange has a daily cap of %10. No matter how bullish it is, it doesn’t appreciate more than %10 in a day.

Otedola held his shares for only a week. Did you by chance check the % of how Transcorp traded in that short period of time to calculate his profits..

seunayantokun:
If that were business as you call it, would you wish to be at the receiving end of it all through your life? I know Tony has a long history of dishonesty long before he crafted his way into the ownership of UBA. It is his way.

You’re in your feelings. That’s not how business works. Stop making a mockery of yourself dude.

lhordspy:
I knew something was up when Elumelu started with 'Otedola is my friend' story after Otedola checkmated him.

I knew it was guilty conscience speaking. In a bid to hide his shame, he had to resort to unnecessary fancy-sweet stories.

Thank God Otedola showed him how the game is played. Bought large chunk of the transcorp stake, Unsettle the market, make Elumelu beg for his 'life' , Sold it off in 2weeks, cashed out almost 21Billion naira with little stress.
Abracadabra. Elemulu never saw it coming.

That is how a boss cook revenge.

You’re naive to think Otedola made any profit. Why would his shares be bought by Tony when there are millions more of ordinary shares..

Secondly, Otedola had to dispose his shares because if he doesn’t, Tony can easily take Firstbank from him with the %25 liquidity he put in Transcorp in one day.

Otedola made the right call by moving on, else he would have lost on two fronts. Firstly he doesn’t have enough shares to unseat Elumelu at transcorp.

Secondly if he decides to make it an open challenge, then he would have lost firstbank since Tony is in the banking business and has unlimited access to loans from Uba to snatch First Bank from Femi.

Person wey dem suppose give 400years. Or 2 life sentences make him spirit serve the second one una go dey give am 10.

Na so una take go leave Ibori wey dey make body dey catch am for Delta so.

Some of you can’t just grow up believing in useless superstitions. Wtf do you do with your education in this 21st century..??

seunmsg:
Rivers PDP already told you guys they are going with APC. Oyo PDP will do the same. Kano NNPP are mostly APC members who went to NNPP because of intense struggle for ticket. They will align with APC. So, which opposition are you still talking about?

You’re delusional to believe after inauguration Wike wields such influence. Sorry is your name.

Tflex01:
If you know how national assembly elections work, you will understand that APC is in a clear majority with this figure.

It would have been another story entirely if the remaining total numbers belong to a single party.

If you also know, you’d know not all APC reps member will stick to Voting APC. Reps members are all interested in what they can benefit, as well as those with grievances.

Opposition party on the other hand knows that they’re stronger together.

Free that man. He didn’t rob anyone.

You're high on weed... But they can launch isreal in christian length

Israel is not a Christian country. There are 10x more Muslim there than Christians.

It’s a matter of politics, not religion

juman:
Be deceiving yourself.
FTX, OneCoin etc.

You don’t know nothing about Crypto Mr, you know nothing about what happened to those exchanges.

When banks merge or fold up, do you stop using Money…? Instead of learning a thing or two, you’re busy showing how ignorant you are.

juman:
Bitcoins is fraud.
Your money can disappear like MMM thing.
It has happened many times.

Stfu. You only liquidate and loss %100 of your funds if you’re trading crypto futures.

Holding a particular coin is nothing but patience. If crypto holding is fraudulent then so is the stock market because it is the same, one is regulated by the govt, the other is decentralized which is the sole purpose of Crypto.

Kennyswag:
but the richest people in nigeria are those with physical businesses and not your so called cryptocurrency traders

Your physical business don’t measure when it comes to what Tech boys own. Stfu and stop being ignorant of you know nothing about blockchain tech.

So warri port is working amd military is using it? And developers no gree person hear word about lagos and seaport? Omo igbo love lagos joor dem no fit ever leave.. Who go leave that place wey Tinubu do well for dem.. The chief obidient lives there talkless of his otimkpus..

If you really paid attention, you’d have gotten the full details of the port. The Government are the only ones using the port officially. There’s no private or public use yet, just govt.

Vado2:
Oba of Benin be dethroned? How?? The Benin Oba and the enogies of Esan are born, not made! The worst case scenario is that their allowances and fees will be taken away and they will be suspended. No governor would even consider doing it. Except he does not want to live to enjoy his loots.

Since its inception, the Benin throne has always been held by a single bloodline; not even the King's forced abdication of the kingdom could cause it to veer off course. By refraining from roforofo political battles in light of their meager gains, the Oba of Binis maintains their own dignity.

I don’t argue based on emotions. Nobody gives a F about anybody’s emotion. I’m sure a lot more people said same with Sanusi.

Again, all Nigeria kings are under the control of local govt administration, if anyone misbehave, he will be dethroned. heaven will not fall.

vowiski:
You talk too much...

The Oba was Colonized, but never gave up his throne like the other African kings..

Even in his absence, Chief Obaseki wanted to sit on the throne, but they never let him sit - that should tell you the reverence....

Until the slave masters left, the throne was not given to anyone, till the monarcy was restored.

Na that kind king and his people you wan use play?

I laugh you

Have you not asked yourself why Edos are feareless and the least people you can oppress in Nigeria?

It's the samething bro.. This is the first state Godfatherism was dismantled in politics...

There are some things you can't just imagine..even if you desire it to happen, no governor with overdose of kwele weed will attempt that madness.

It may be in the consitution, but it's implementation is another thing... No be najia you dey?

You no dey fear juju... if dem born you well, show benin make I carry you go places.. Na boxers you go use run go back where you come from...

yen yen yen

Implementation? Sanusi is a good example of a first class king that was dethroned.

Nobody wey them no fit dethrone. The people who bundled your Oba, Wetin your juju do them..? You dey cap about problem wey enslavers cause, yet cannot justify any repercussions on those who carried it out.

You’re a mumu man if you really think those nonsense juju dey do anything.

Just respect tradition as it is, to give value to our way of life.

Adding any dirty juju or superstition say nothing dey happen, you just dey talk shiiit.

vowiski:
The Last military adminstrator who tried to dethrone the Oba, go and ask his family how far, because he can't tell you how far...

He lost his son, then his wife, even after sending emiseries to beg, he stil lost his life, all in mysterious circumstances..., unfortunately.

Yes, the Oba respects himself, because he knows no political leader will stay more than 8-years but his throne is for life. And again, while the Oba of Benin is quite different from other monarch in Nigeria is the unconditional respect the throne commands.

I doubt any governor would have been able to dispose the Oba of Benin easily as was done to Sanusi.

The whole city would have been totally ungovernorable and no goverment succeeds without the smiles of the people.

Just ask your Oba to mess up, he will be dethroned and nothing will happen.

Your Oba was bundled like a common thief by the colonizers and your juju didn’t do shit.

The way you lot believe in nonsense spirituality or juju is appalling.

FYI, Kings are now under the administration of Local Government and the people who made the laws have kings in their respective states. so a governor is even too far.

2mch:
A VP is selected. Not nominated. Only Tinubu was nominated of the two.

Dude, he signed and submitted a nomination form for senate. At what point was it withdrawn is to be determined by the court. Try to comprehend.

2mch:
Shettima’s name was not on the list for candidates for Senate, during the election and he did not receive any votes for his constituency. So after being picked as Tinubu’s deputy, he must have stepped down. Case closed. He also has a right to put up nomination prior to knowledge about Tinubu’s interest in him.

It is left with the court to determine at what stage it is legal for him to be substituted. The point being made is nomination, not elected on two fronts or appearances on ballot on two fronts.

Lawan who didn’t contest a seat was declared the winner knowing very well he submitted nomination form for presidential election.

Nasige:
See how intelligent you are, every party has their various constitutions and guidelines only a party member has the right to challenge any irregularities. PDP or LP can't determine what happens in APC provided APC meet the constitution requirements of INEC........I know you will still not agree or understand but it is the simple truth.

Double candidature is not a party’s internal matter but a Nigerian Law. The reason it was thrown out is because it hasn’t done anything against the constitution at the time.

Some politicians in 2019 lost their seats because of this.

Now that elections have taken place, they can challenge the nomination.

yemex04:
That Law was done to be an advantage to a Candidate who is not able to get 24th State 25% spread out of the usual 36 states.. The candidate can be declared Winner if he/she gets the required spread in 23 States & FCT.
Simply said, FCT can be considered 24th State for a candidate who had the required spread in just 23 States of the Federation. The intent & the spirit of that section of the Constitution is not more than this.

That is illogical. So for all the other 11 states you couldn’t get %25, but somehow you believe FCT will be the wrecking ball…?

FCT has that special status because those who made the law at the time saw it as the seat of power and because our laws haven’t been tried to that extent it hasn’t been interpreted as such.

Successlane:
Las, Las, Las, ........

Supreme court will knock him out on 'TECHNICALITIES'.

Supreme court justices are Nigerians, and they will consider many things outside the provision of the constitution.

Outside the constitution?? Yoruba people dey bank on Bribes. Una life no fit better pass how useless e don already dey.

codemaniacs:
It is Bini not Benin and they didn't have warriors stop deceiving yourself.

You're admitting that Yorubas were fighting wars which is foolish of you because no sensible person will send their people to a place that is already fighting wars because their people will be killed off quickly.

Your comment even corroborates and supports my comment due to the Yorubas fighting wars they were already war-hardened and this made it difficult for the Portuguese and British to successfully invade the Oyo Empire and they were confined to parts of Lagos island.

Oyo Empire is an Empire and an Empire is bigger than a Kingdom. olodo.

You're an olodo and illiterate block head..

Yoruba did not fight any wars, Intertribal conflicts were normal pre-colonialism.

You have a phone and data, Benin has the most warriors pre colonialism. Read and stop making the rest of you Yorubas look like scoundrels.

I’ve taught you history you never knew today, start with that. Maybe you will finally stop making a fool of yourself.

Benin still the Great Wall ever made by man till today, they didn’t do that because of communal conflicts.

codemaniacs:
In history the most rigged sailors were West Africans that was how they migrated to the American continent.

So I don't know nonsense and pro-european history your block head is reading..

You're a mentally enslaved olodo..

🫢🫢😂 didn’t think you were daft until now. Enjoy your Day Mr

Peterobiisathie:
that is the reason why Ibo man can never rule this country until una get sense

I bet Nigeria is good for Yorubas and not for others. Yorubas must be living a prosperous lifestyle.

codemaniacs:
I don't need a source.. it's common sense.

All the way from what is now Ondo and some parts of Edo state down to the borders of Togo and Ghana was the Oyo Empire and Yoruba territory.

It will be suicidal of the Binis if they tried to claim anywhere in the Oyo empire due to the fact that Yorubas have a higher population than them and 99% of Yorubas were warriors.

Benin were the ones with warriors. The way you lot twist history to suit Yoruba heritage is actually a disgrace that you lot have no idea what you’re talking about.

Only Benin, UK, and Saudi has the Kingdom title anywhere, and that is for a reason being the vantage point between the Colonials and the Benin Empire.

Yoruba’s we’re still dealing with intertribal conflicts when Benin warriors were being sent to different Souther states including Eko.

They never taught us how to cultivate those foods because those foods have indigenous names for them before the eu:ropeans came to Africa.

Anything that already has indigenous names was not brought by eu:ropeans.

Your indigenous languages are older than the eu:ropeans.

Stop saying nonsense..

🫢😟 Olodo on the loose. Go read a book about history. Southern Nigeria was were they arrived first, Golf of Guinea was their biggest challenge and it led them to Warri (Escravos/Slave Island).

Portuguese were not interested in Oil but Palm oil and Rubber so they invited the Brits.

In History, Spain and Portuguese are the biggest and most rugged sailors, only them could sails the Golf of Guinea and that’s how they discovered oil.

I know you block heads know nothing, but try read some history.

Tapioca (Cassava Flakes) Is a typical Portuguese word still being mistaken for a native Nigerian language. Jollof rice is actually Portuguese risotto.

And what food do you have that is Pre Colonial..?

How do you know how am pronouncing it?

Is the OP asking about how Lagos is pronounce?

You’re slow, If you think Portuguese and Nigeria words have same intonation.

Parachoko:
Lagos means Lake in Portuguese.

The Portuguese named Eko, Lagos

I said pronounce you’re talking about naming. They indeed named Lagos and most island in Nigeria on their first arrival.

Do you know that they also taught us how to cultivate the tubers/carbs we consume today….?

Corn, Plantain, Tapioca (Cassava Flakes) and many more were Portuguese food which they taught us.

They really need to bring back History, cause most of you don’t even know the land you live in.

Parachoko:
He's wrong


Lagos is a Portuguese word and I think it has something to do with lagoon or so

It is pronounced differently. Escravos is another Portuguese word meaning Slave Island.
