God1000:
Aliko dangote will bounce back to first position Soon


It's not only Aliko dangote, the net worth of Rabiu and Adenuga also dropped.

The devaluation of naira last year by CBN has badly affected their wealth because our currency has lost its value against the dollar.

the billionaires have most of their businesses in Nigeria and when they convert the value of their businesses from naira to dollar, they would have lost value.

I blame This government with bad monetary policy
Dangote is the richest man in Africa today. This report you are reading from is fake, and if you go through it, you will notice they can't provide the link to the so-called Forbes report. You can google Forbes yourself to check who is the richest African. It is Aliko Dangote.

Check also on Bloomberg.

This is false. Forbes has not released any new list and per the 2023 list Dangote, not Oppenheimer is the richest. All these copy and paste blogs need to step up.

Delphi:
NUC just woke up from sleep because of the deep investigative journalism of the Daily Nigerian reporter on certificate racketeering by neighbouring countries.
At least something is being done. The media has an extremely important role in any democracy, as the watchdog over the government and its agencies. Too bad the Nigerian mainstream media is too busy taking sides in political battles but the independent journalists are stepping up.

Politics › Re: Tinubu Grants Ex-Sierra Leone President, Koroma Asylum After Treason Charges by SmartyPants(m): 9:27am On Jan 04, 2024
Shattuck:
Best political solution according to you, when you guys intentionally make some citizens to be above the law, how then do you expect to implement the law on anyone, treason is the worst crime in any democracy. It is not in tinubu's place to decide what is the best solution, we must begin to teach men how to follow steps, is it not the same tinubu who critized Niger coup and almost foolishly went to war with Niger, for this same offense.
1. What do you understand by the term "political solution?"

2. I'm amazed how you managed to make this about Tinubu. This is about Sierra Leonians and what is best for that country. If Koroma is convicted and sentenced to death the prospects of a fresh civil war are 90%. The unemployed and angry youth are there. The arms are there. The ethnic divide is there. Do you know what we're talking about at all? It is for this reason that the attorney general of SL stepped down the case and now we're talking about bail conditions. The government itself is not willing to hastily rush ahead with prosecution for the obvious reasons I outlined above. All Nigeria is doing is offering Koroma a safe haven - it is up to Bio and Sierra Leonians to accept the deal.

3. Unfortunately you can't reason beyond "Tinubu". Not knowing you are undermining yourself since despite the obviously empty threat to invade niger, no invasion has taken place. But according to you, causing war in Niger to deal with lawbreakers is foolish while preventing war in Sierra Leone is also foolish because lawbreakers need to be taught lessons. Why do your principles shift from situation to situation??

I would have laughed if not that the subject matter is not funny in any way.

Bio might not sanction it.

Yesterday, a 4-count charge was slammed on the former President.

Pix 1: Below: Koroma in Court yesterday....

Pix 2: The documents awaiting approval from Bio
He definitely will sanction it. A former president in a volatile country like that is too big to be put on trial for a capital offence. Not when Koroma has so many supporters and Bio himself is accused of rigging. Koroma cant be put on trial and he also cant be allowed to stay a free man in Sierra Leone. This is the best political solution.

Anyway, i watched the video and it was a robbery... I suspect cultists.

You dont need to bring tribe or religion into this, Nasarawa state has a mix of christians and muslims. smiley

I say this because i stay close to the place
At the bolded, terror attacks are always highest in such areas. Well, if you say you live there and it was robbery I won't argue. But the report we read here says only that they came and shot sporadically, with no mention of robbery - that seems to me they had the intent to kill as many as they could.

matify83:
On a supermarket only?
If they came only to shoot without robbing, and did not come for a particular person, then certainly yes, that is a terror attack. It seems the media and security agencies want to economize the truth but you can deduce that this must be either a Muslim-majority area or a mixed area so they probably targeted that supermarket because it is owned by a Christian or southerner.

Peter Obi and Utomi did well to visit the great man departed.

People from the South East and South South are the ones with genuine remorse for the departure of Akeredolu. His brothers are still bitter with the news that Igbo children are living in their homes and bearing the name of the former governor.

Chinedu Akeredolu

Foreign Affairs › Re: Israel To Pull Some Troops From Gaza As War Enters New Phase by SmartyPants(m): 4:13pm On Jan 02, 2024
OkpaNsukkaisBae:
"Israeli tanks & troops having overrun much of the Gaza Strip, largely asserting control"...


Yet Hamas are firing rockets from Gaza into Israel.
Israeli citizens kidnapped on 7th October, are still held hostage in the same Gaza?

Apart from the hostages released by Hamas as part of a ceasefire agreement... The IDF has failed to locate or rescue their citizens in captivity.
If you can read at all, the article above clearly indicates three phases:

1. Massive shelling
2. Insertion of ground troops to take control
3. Surgical operations

They are now entering the phase of battle where surgical operations to release hostages will take place.
Politics › Re: NNPCL Delivers Fourth 1 Million Barrel Tranche Of Crude Oil To Dangote Refinery by SmartyPants(m): 4:07pm On Jan 02, 2024
GeneralDae:
They set aside 483000 bpd of crude supply for him and other refineries monthly but with our oil production currently around 1.4 million bpd, that's a tough one. Out of the 1.4 million bod, some are tied to forward sales contracts. So we may only have 800,000 bpd for export and FX. If we give local refineries 483000 bpd as touted by NNPC, that would mean we have very little for crude oil exports and FX.
Ah I see. It really is time for us to find other ways apart from oil to earn revenue and fx as a nation.

Dangote would eventually import. That's why it was built where it was strategically. What Dangote said was that it makes no sense to begin operations via importing.
I dont see why he would import at all if not for inefficiencies in the system. The govt has also pledged a certain quantity for him annually so if all goes well importation should be out of the question
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Should I Keep My Job Or Travel To The UK by SmartyPants(m): 12:42pm On Jan 02, 2024
mistacoco2:
Hello guys,

For some days now I have been on a serious dilemma whether to resign from my federal government job that pays me above N200k for my current position and migrate to the UK or stay in naija and set up a business to augment my salary. I will be 34 years next year, I feel traveling to the uk for studies next year September will delay my chances of getting married, as I have planned not exceeding 34 years without getting married.

I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds. However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies.

Please I earnestly need matured advice from you guys to know how to start the coming year.
You need to also explain what exactly you will be doing in the UK after your studies or is it just for studies that you want to travel? Are you aware that the policies are becoming increasingly migrant-unfriendly?

You've also not stated what your financial situation is. If you can afford to make the massive investment in travelling for studies to the UK, which will cost you at least 20k gbp or 25 million naira thereabouts, from travel processing to fees over the duration of your studies, then how does the economic situation really bother you?

If you are eyeing better economic opportunities, then you should be rather asking what you can invest in.
Politics › Re: NNPCL Delivers Fourth 1 Million Barrel Tranche Of Crude Oil To Dangote Refinery by SmartyPants(m): 10:48am On Jan 02, 2024
They need a supply of at least 10 million barrels a month to run anywhere close to full capacity. This is a decent start as I think we're now up to about 6 million barrels supplied but there needs to be a more reliable pipeline of supply to sustain operations, if not I see Dangote having to import.

Again, the commitment of the Nigerian government is crucial here.

Heartless girls. Imagine struggling with ur mom and a girl who comes from nowhere trying to control what your own mother does with your money. They even go as far as stopping your mom from living with you in the same house.

Copied
The image is touching but you missed the message. It is parents who owe a greater duty to their children and not the other way around. That is how the human race survives - by prioritising the well-being of its young over that of its old.

But what does that have to do with a wife or girlfriend? The essence of one's parents sacrificing for them like the mother in the picture above, is for you to grow up, take a wife, and do the same for your kids. For you to effectively do this, you must prioritise the nuclear family unit which includes your wife of course.

This doesn't mean you should abandon your parents, but recognize that the essence of their love is meant to be paid forward not backwards.
