Same applies to the lawyer's problems and those of his family members I guess.. since he doesn't believe in the power of prayer. It is written "without faith it is impossible to please God"
[quote author=ebukajay184 post=98344202]"Doyin Okupe, No Amount Of Prayer Can Change Your Son's Sexual Orientation"- Lawyer Writes
A legal practitioner has given an opinion on Doyin Okupe's reaction to his son coming out as gay, IgbereTV reports.
Doyin Okupe had reacted to his son's sexual orientation by stating clearly that he is "vehemently opposed to homosexuality" and believes what his son is going through is "a major spiritual challenge"
But Jake Okechukwu Effoduh, a lawyer, told the former presidential aide that he should accept his son and stop trying to change him.
he has a target on his back now. the vindictive Fulanis in power won't let him get away with this.. he should watch his back even when everything has died down.. and use more wisdom in his approach and utterances.. the ground is very slippery and fraught with snares
If Fulanis behaved themselves in their host communities, nobody would be running to chase them out. He declared the ultimatum after they had killed an indigene.
Not necessarily.. have you tried finding out how his other children turned out to be? bad peer influence and exposure likely the cause.. that environment is something else.. God help parents in these days.. societal values especially in the west is something else..
This is a sign to all who bet...better stop it before you lose everything! we've seen many upsets and this will continue to be the trend going forward..
He told them to vacate forest reserves..they are not permitted by law to be there.. that's not their grazing route! He also told them to keep their cattle off the road and other places not authorised for grazing. He has not infringed on their rights at all.. they are the ones who have been breaking the law.. AKETI go on soun!
let's see if he'll be given substantive appointment
fergie001: Hilary Kelechi Madu has been appointed the Acting Commandant-General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
Hilary Madu, who was promoted Deputy Comptroller-General (Operations) of the NSCDC in July 2017, takes over from Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu whose extended tenure of six months expired today.
Mr Gana officially handed over to Madu who is the most senior officer in the corps at a brief ceremony in the Abuja office.
There had been some furore in the Ministry of Interior over alleged plans to grant a third tenure extension for heads of paramilitary agencies.
The agencies include the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), the Nigerian Correctional Service (CoS) and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The tenures of the trio of Mohammed Babandede (Comptroller-General of the NIS), Abdullahi Muhammad Gana (Commandant-General of the NSCDC) and Jafaru Ahmed (Controller-General of the NCoS) expired between 2019 and 2020.
The heads of the paramilitary organisations had exceeded the mandatory age limit and number of years of service and had their tenures extended last year.
Stakeholders, including serving and retired officers had berated the Federal Government, especially the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, stressing that the extension was counter-productive and impeded career-progression of other officers.

the police officer wasn't aware of the kidnapping before or during the act! a car was brought to him AFTER THE KIDNAPPING AND THEFT! That doesn't qualify as aiding and abetting kidnapping! clearly different from the example you cited in which someone planned with armed robbers to rob.. totally different scenario.
BestOsai: He was aware the car was stolen.The car wasnt just stolen, it was stolen during a kidnapping operation.By buying the car ,he was encouraging (aiding ) kidnapping.I know of somebody who connived with armed robbers to rob the filing station where he was working.He too hot death penalty alongside the armed robbers.The judge said that for him to know how to contract armed robbers ,he too was a robber as well.Its the same thing in this case.
He did not aid and abet kidnapping. His mechanic sold the stolen car to him after the kidnapping. To aid and abet he must have had a hand, contributed or assisted in the actual kidnapping itself.
BestOsai: A whole Assistant Commissioner of Police aiding and abetting kidnapping!!
The punishment is too harsh! Compare it with the actual kidnappers' punishment.. the law never stipulated a different punishment for senior police officers. Even if the judge wants to punish him harshly a sentence of 10 - 15 years is enough. The actual kidnappers are the ones deserving of life Imprisonment or even death! p.s. the law presumes you know it's a stolen vehicle if it is too cheap. In some cases buyer's of stolen property may actually not have known but will be presumed to have known
SenecaTheYonger: Learn to read. He got life (which is fitting for an officer of the law so others will sit up) because he knew it was stolen vehicle.
Police should not get soft Judgement. Stop defending your opppressors
yMcy56: I think there's the need to be more clearer about this recommendation to the guy sir..... especially if he/she is a newbie, to avoid blame game........though I know very well that you know what you're saying.
I think he should balance his investment portfolio by earmarking certain percentage to insurance if he wishes to play in that sector while a larger part goes to dividend paying stocks.
Just my humble opinion sir.
onegentleguy: I agree with u completely!! That's why I also mentioned(in the original post) that the sector is worth a certain % of ones invested capital... but only after one must have done their homework well.(due diligence in view)
No doubt, the insurance space is a place to be. ...it will reproduce the next generation of millionaires but also take a "bite" off one of they fail to do their bit. The difference is in how effective one can carry out due diligence to sieve/permute from the healthy ones, in line with their investment objective. However, the need to align more with fundamentally sound div paying assets from healthier value driven sectors should still take higher precedence ahead of that sector.
@sonofElElyon, pls do take note and be guided accordingly.
onegentleguy: Yes, the 1st list (a)... those with greater weight of value drive/prospect is absolutely cool, irrespective of whether they'd eventually be a standalone coy or not. But hey! do well to read through my signature below.
GidiCars: They'll send northern soldiers down south to show themselves, while they send soldiers in the South to the north to die in the hands of bandits. If you die for the nigerian army, nobody send you message. You die, you died fighting for the British, the corporations, the North, cause boko haram doesn't concern us in the southern regions.
Also, nigeria is heading towards secession, so you died in vain. People like Obasanjo and co would either witness it live or watch it from hell. Once the oil lose its value totally and nigeria becomes uneconomically viable, federal government struggles to pay salaries or fund projects. The leaders would run away cause they've already secured their children's future in foreign countries.
So is it more advisable to buy the insurance company (companies) that simultaneously appear(s) on your 2 lists of a) those with greater weight of value drive prospect and b) those likely to stand on their own, post recapitalisation?
Risk is mine to bear of course
onegentleguy: As @ Q1 2020, we mentioned on several occasions here that the insurance sector will be the next best place to be considering the positive impact recent policy shifts can have on it(planned recap exercise, CBNs dovish stance and other economic measures including the finance act of 2020)
I recall that was when I decided to gradually take position in some select names therein. A worthy move was accumulating 5M units each of AIICO, REGENCY ALLIANCE, MUTUAL BENEFITS and ROYAL EX and about 3.5M of LINKAGE for one chief I manage his portfolio seeing he was really quite liquid then. …with the middle 3 coys purchased @ a p/value of 20k, the 1st(aiico) @ a BEP of 61k and the last(linkage) @ 35k it was clear that capital yield can well come from cash flow accruals given they were broadly dividend paying assets. With a few like REGENCY ALLIANCE having the best HPR with yield (@ circa 15% at the time) and healthy risk-reward ratio (BS position in view), there just couldn’t have been a better time!! But more often than not, I was criticized each time I mentioned INSURANCE COYS. I remember how I had to leave a what’s-up forum following a rain of insult for daring to recommend 3 coys back then. I was called a chief MH for drawing folks attention to MUTUAL BENEFITS and LASACO after I noticed that both coys had just witnessed a turning point(BS and CGP in view) and UNIONDAC for highlighting it as a possible rewarding buy-out candidate(EPA in view). Most annoying was how the forum moderator (a member here) who was the one that 1st contacted me to join the said platform as an analyst/moderator also joined in the destructive criticism. Funny enough, none of those who criticized me could present proof to counter the analysis I had put up, so I had to leave. Time has since exonerated me!!
This is also part of the problems we face here. …it’s what some worthy members like mcy56, @rabbi, @megawealth and a few others face, and the reason I sometimes prefer to withhold certain sensitive information. A case in point is JAPAULGOLD. After the coys much debated FP which saw a huddle with ACCESS BANK (then japauloil), I was asked for my opinion on the matter, to which I replied; No comment!! In truth, I never covered the coy or had it on my watch list. ...but all that changed when a few lines in their report made me have a rethink and after an in-depth review, I reached out to several pals and some members here(@bumba1234, @billtommy, @ekpotek, @charlesniper, @tradeinvestgal to mention a few) and asked them to ACCUMULATE the coy after explaining the reason it was bound to appreciate in price. Most folks I know bought @ 20-23k. As I explained to them then, JAPAUL might not be healthy but 2 things stood out:
1) When u relate the coys current BS position to its SoI and benchmark it against its CF and CGPR potential, REWARD had overtaking RISK and was making a mockery of it. 2) There were some fine lines in between the then released poor financial print that highlights the need to raise funds(EFIR and CBR in view) and signals a strong possibility for a price rise to achieve that aim.
This was even before the Name change was announced. I decided against putting it up here knowing what might well be the repercussion but still gave a hint back then. See one such post above where I gave a hint(part in bold… a revert to @oracle) Earlier today, I read from the sideline and observed some sharp criticisms targeted @mcy56, @megainvest and a few others and I just knew it could’ve been me!! …God, I would’ve been disappointed if after taking out time to put up a comprehensive analysis of JAPAUL here for gratis I got destructively criticized. I am not highlighting these lines to prove any point or see myself as some sought of semi-god, but to underscore the fact that this forum, this platform CAN BE BETTER!! We can all make it better and individually grow with it. Yes we can... if we can all stop it with the mockery, ridicule and toxic criticisms and start up building each other. …particularly those who go out of their way to encourage, help and sometimes offer meaningful and healthy/rewarding advice to others including the new ones in our midst without any form of pay/reward. Folks like @Oracle, @bigjay @mcy56, @currentprice, @Obagadafi, @rebakah, @Drawo, @fxuser and many others here deserve no less than a pat in the back and appreciated for all they do.
Understandably, a mix of emotion can take their toil on one and make them have extreme reservation on certain select asset… perhaps because of their not-so-good experience playing such coys. But its NOT enough reason to hate it or find disgusting the mere mention of it. U can lose money in a coy today, and gain double ur invested capital in the very same coy tomorrow. Ur astuteness, doggedness and willingness to want to learn from the experience and lessons of that failed TRADE/INVESTMENT SETUP is what makes all the difference!! We all wish to learn. It is often said that the day u stop learning, u stop living!! I personally love to learn. Engage and criticize me constructively and I will love u for it. …am sure the same can be said of many others here.
Some of us don’t like it when we see these bouts of negative comments.(even if it’s not directed at me, I hate it) Yes there might be some folks who give advise having ulterior/selfish motives, but u can tell that there are others who don’t tour that line. Some folks here mean well!!
Personally, I will NEVER put out any write-up with an intent to deceive. …it had, has and will never align with the basic principle that defines my person. For us, we respect and appreciate why the word INTEGRITY came before the duo of MONEY and SUCCESS in the dictionary. Before ever I advice or put up any post here or anywhere else, I must have put that thought line through a thorough scrutiny drawing from several tested analytical models. My last recommendation here (GSK) followed a proof-test of no fewer than 7 models, 4 of which I personally developed. …the highlight of the coys –EV was just one of the other known 3(keep a close watch on that coy and do well to align if u are yet to do so) While there is no such thing as ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY in the investment world, the INTENT 1st, and from there ur zeal/drive and investing strategy is what really matters !!
Now back to the talk on INSURANCE coys... Let me quickly reiterate what I said here in times past; That sector is worth a % of ur investment capital… but a lot will depend on how well u do ur homework. It will require a case by case study of the coys in that index to ascertain the likely big winners in line with the recent recap policy by the regulatory body(Naicom)
A quick guide; I covered about 20 quoted insurance coys on the NSE: 1- CUSTODIAN, 2- AIICO, 3- MANSURD INS 4- MUTUAL BENEFITS, 5- PRESTIGE, 6- NEM, 7- LASACO, 8- CORNERSTONE, 9- SOVEREIGN TRUST, 10- WAPIC, 11- ROYAL EXCHANGE, 12- VERITAS KAPITAL, 13- REGENCY ALLIANCE, 14- AFRICAN ALLIANCE, 15- NIGER INS, 16- SUNU INS, 17-CHI, 18- LINKAGE, 19- GUINEA INS and 20- UNIVERSAL INS to see how VALUE can be taped.
Of the 20, Nos 4, 2, 7, 9, 10 11, 12(yes I said 12) 13, 17 and 18, carries a greater weight of value drive prospect given their MoS peg relative to CMP(risk-reward margin in view).
In view of the planned sector recapitalization exercise which will be 2-phased- 50% and 60% of the newly stipulated minimum paid-up capital for insurers and re-insurers respectively by 31st Dec 2020(expect a lot of activities from now till the release of FY2020 FPs to capture the 1st phase) and 100%/full compliance on or before 31st Sep 2021, I see 11 of them; Nos, 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,10, 12, 17 and 18 meeting both deadlines and remaining as standalone entities with a 65% probability of acquiring the other 9. …so the other 9 might pass the 1st deadline but could end up been acquired by those 11 and/or other external forces(either from in-house core investors or new entrants) and/or end up merging amongst themselves to form a bigger entity on or before the 2nd/last deadline of Sep 31st 2021.
And Yes there are a few lines to draw these inferences by relating their individual CF position and SoI to the BS position in their Financial prints and bench-marking it against the guideline of the proposed recap exercise. However, nothing is cast in stone!! …so it’s imperative to remain vigilant and not throw caution to the gallery.
On a side note, those with holdings in No 3 should do well to thread with caution. …especially if u aligned post the bonus issuance but waiting to partake of the planned split exercise. (i.e. If u missed out on the QD of the 1st and is yet to liquidate any % holding). If u fail to extrapolate ur figures well, u might incur a loss post the split. It might be best to gradually follow through with a structured exit plan in time. Remember that the split will likely create an exponential EM effect (4x price mark up in view) Like I always tell folks, the increased price peg that follows a split is 88% of the time an overblown reflection of a coys valuation… so there’s often a near 1 prob. that price will fall to mirror the true value of the asset relative to earnings and the perception of market participants. The fall though, will depend on the assets proposed factor of X. …that of MANSURED requires a careful breakdown of ur trade/investment setup to avoid a loss. Note that this is not to say that MANSURED is an unworthy play, but to accentuate the need for carefulness. If I can elk out the time, I will do an article drawing from an extensive analysis/review of the insurance 20 to further help us with the quest to seek REWARD.
Disclaimer: The part in italics should only be viewed subjectively. …it is NOT a license to any sought of recommendation. Due diligence still applies as always. My advice? Pls follow ur instinct.
locodemy: NSE is a place of ojoro See how they caused panic on the stock. I thought there will be announcement of reconstructions hence the reason why people were selling at 0.93/95.Anyway Transcorp achieving two things in recent time is a plus to the shareholders. If all these latest info is factored in, by the end of Q2,the top and bottom lines of the stock will rise and the share price will also go up even above 100% from the current price.
Good luck to those who did not sell. I will join the train when I see the numbers I am looking for in the company.
Quote the book of the Bible, chapter and verse!!! Not saying it's not true but it's not in the Bible..
LongNipple: Poor Chidinma. I feel bad reading this. Truly the bible was right when it said...
"HELL HAS NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED"
To even think that she cooked for him that night, they talked, ate food together and then when he slept, she woke up to kill him. All becos of what? Another wife
The bible was also right when it said... "While Men slept, the enemy came to sow seed of tares in to their life But in this case....it is "While Chidinma slept, his loving wife woke up to take his life"
I'm speechless.
There are woman that suggest a second wife to their husbands. Sarah brought Haggai for Abraham. In some families, u see two or three women married to a single man and they are living.
We also have what we call "OPEN MARRIAGE" these days. That's is, the husband and wife will agree to stay married and sleep with anyone else outside of their choice and it must not be someone they both know. They both can decide to have as many partners outside but still stay married. I'm telling u.
Even if friends see them and reports to the other half, they would either play ignorant or act hurt just for show. The plan is for both to cover their tracks. Yes...it's happening.
Marriage is understanding on the part of the two parties. Just have an understanding with ur spouse.That's all. Both of u will live in peace doing ur business.
So why will someone now decide take another person's life? Becos of what
