When asked about the rising value of cryptocurrencies, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said: “They have no intrinsic value.”

This I have to agree with.
It's a rule that works - you give and you get. Even the irreligious who know what's up apply it.
And it cuts across all "religions".
Just define "God's Kingdom" properly. Avoid the pastorpreneurs and their lousy tithing marketing and do your giving to people who really need it. Financially adopt an orphan or something like that, do your giving very quietly and very anonymously and it will indeed work for you.

Well, Econet Nigeria does not exist today. Greedy Ibori and other Nigerian shareholders were asking for the impossible from him and so he left. Sweat equity or not, it is not the greedy shareholders that will build and run the company. Hence no Econet Nigeria today.

Etisalat's debt did not vanish. The same greedy Nigerian banks conniving with other greedy Nigerians chose to be unreasonable in restructuring the debt with Etisalat. But hey presto, the same greedy Nigerian banks chose to restructure the debt with greedy Nigerians who wanted to take over the company which we know today as 9mobile. Why did 9mobile and her sponsors not launch 9mobile from inception like other MNOs that came into Nigeria? NCC and CBN were there when Etisalat requested a debt restructuring. I will continue to maintain that widespread greed and corruption continues to hold back Nigeria's development.

emmanuelewumi:
The promoter of Econet could not have his way with Nigerian shareholders. He had to leave.

Econet Wireless has the following shareholders Lagos State, Delta State, Akwa ibom state, First Bank, FCMB, Leadway Assurance and other High networth investors.

The Zimbabwean guy did not drop a kobo, 5% share of the company was allocated to him as sweat equity.

Econet needed money to expand other shareholders were ready to invest more, but Strive was not ready to invest and does not want the other shareholders to invite outsiders who have the money.


Etisalat left because of debt, there was a time when banks wanted to take over the business, but for the timely intervention of NCC and CBN
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by skydiver01: 4:55pm On Apr 16, 2021
Econet and Etisalat left honorable and have not looked back since or tried to sell any of their services to Nigeria or the Nigerian market through any back door. Shoprite and other well managed companies will not be back until or unless Nigeria changes and develops. Nigerians have so far demonstrated that we are not willing to develop our country.

emmanuelewumi:
Kindly share examples of such companies that left honourable and are not interested in selling their products to Nigerians through the backdoor


Mass unemployment will be the order of the day since we have continued to be the biggest importers in Africa, especially products that can be produced in the country.
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by skydiver01: 4:48pm On Apr 16, 2021
$1m is nothing to Unilever or Nestle. Nigerian traders here or in Ghana are simply unscrupulous and add no meaningful value to products or their value chain. Unilever and Nestle export to Nigeria better produced products by more honest workers and better infrastructure which the ECOWAS treaty allows.

emmanuelewumi:
Same Ghanaians told Nigeria traders to have a start up capital of $1 million before they can trade in their country and we want our country to be a dumping ground for products from Ghana
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by skydiver01: 4:33pm On Apr 16, 2021
I can relate to your line of thinking. However, all companies that have chosen to leave Nigeria have left honourably and responsibly and I would suggest for those who think they are resilient. The outcome of Nigeria's development as a result of being abandoned by well governed companies over the last 40 years speaks for itself. Those companies or individuals who have been pretending to be resilient have not managed to bring inflation down, reduce mass unemployment, deliver strong exchange rates, grow exports, reduce the country's balance of payments or bridge the infrastructure deficit gap. Anyway we all have different views, all of which I respect, but I would rather stick to measuring national development rather than how much I earn in dividends or from fixed income investments which for me is material (I am not an audio anything btw... just stating that I am not lost on the continued risk of the value of these passive incomes being lost in real terms to devaluation or hyper inflation). Thus personally, national development should always take precedence which leads to improved quality of life for all, reduced insecurity and increased investment in the country including increasing the manufacturing base reducing unemployment etc etc to name a few amongst others.

emmanuelewumi:
What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. When you leave the Nigerian business environment because of the so called harsh conditions, it is honourable and responsible to also leave the Nigerian market for those who are resilient
InvestmentRe: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by skydiver01: 3:46pm On Apr 16, 2021
On point. Policies that promote National and infrastructural development should always be the ones a serious government pursues rather than those that profit a few individuals or companies! Nigeria's problem is widespread greed and corruption that has led to stupid policies which discourage investment in the economy. Its is not only Nestle, Unilever or Dunlop that have moved production to other countries. Nothing wrong with that. How far is Ghana from Nigeria really? It is still close to its customers! Worst still, even MTN Group South Africa is working on divesting its entire investment in Nigeria (which it has concluded is governed by idiots) nevermind considering a possible option of providing services to its Nigeria customers from Ghana, Benin or Cameroon. Even Shoprite has exited or is certainly on its way out. Some Nigerians will say let them go, there are still Chinese, Indians and Lebanese staying. They must see potential in Nigeria. But that view is truly missing the point. Capital can be invested in more business friendly climes than Nigeria at the moment. Most of Nigeria's leaders (public and private sector) are clueless, have no vision for the country and are consumed with self interests.

Cyberknight:
I think the border closure was a stupid decision. It may have slowed some legal importation, but simply boosted illegal importation and killed legal exports, and fostered another Dangote sweetener.

We are all aware of Nigeria's problems, the smuggling in of foreign rice and all that, and the excessive importation of things we should be able to manufacture at home and the effect on the naira, etc.

But you can't force the changes you want by cutting off legal trade with your neighbours in unilateral violation of an international agreement - that doesn't paint you in the best light, the best way to achieve your goal is to seek to provide favourable conditions at home for businesses to thrive.

And you also need to realise that Nigeria also needs its neighbours too - it is not yet self-sufficient. We might be able to be self-sufficient in food yes, but in other areas, not yet. Follow the news - recent trends show that Ghana is slowly but surely taking over what should be our position as the centre of everything in west Africa, from being its airline hub down to MNCs moving there. The more we continue to show ourselves as an unreliable country which doesn't live up to its agreements and suchlike, the less likely we are to attract more foreign investment, the more likely we are to lose what investment we already have, and for those who think that companies pulling out of the Nigerian manufacturing scene is no big deal - take a look at the official unemployment figures (which are bad enough, but should generally be multiplied by a factor of at least 1.5 and above to give a true picture).

A fairly competent government would be scrambling to find out exactly why a major concern like Unilever (and Nestle too) took such drastic action and instead of further exacerbating the situation ("Oya, if una like, make una go now) would be moving heaven and earth to do what it can to change or prevent such a situation, not further alarming business with nonsense like border closures.

Truly I suspect if they both met in person they would end up being very good friends. In life, it is easier for messages conveyed to one another via email or a forum to be misconstrued or misunderstood. If not managed they end up at risk of getting out of hand. Fortunately 99% of misconstrued messages, in the fullness of time, get resolved and understood. So nothing to worry about. My two pence.

The fall in the Lira was as a result of the central bank governor being sacked (something like the fourth one in two years). Not the increase in rates. As it happens, he was a markets friendly governor and the Lira appreciated markedly over the period he was governor of the central bank.

budaatum:
After four months of relative calm, the Turkish lira is once again doing what it does best: slumping against every major currency. It nose-dived 17% overnight to near all-time lows, hitting 8.39 against the dollar and 9.97 against the euro before recovering later on, ending the day down over 7% against the dollar, amid concerns that the central bank and state-owned banks cushioned the fall by selling dollars into the market, thereby further depleting Turkey’s already scarce foreign currency reserves. The lira has lost half of its value since its currency crisis began in 2018.
