That is how I enjoyed X-mas. Now there is no money, insecurity and unemployment and uncertainty everywhere. I feel for my kids who never saw this and who have to be at home always.

Politics / Re: Nigeria Is Finished If Buhari Remains For Another 4 Years - Peter Obi by Speedo17(m): 3:58am On Dec 24, 2018
The Universities are grounded with Strikes. Labour is threatening to down tools in the new year. Crime is escalating. Unemployment is rising. The economy is definitely bleeding! With the masses as worst hit. PMB's 2019 budget is a call for discipline ( if we are truly ready for that) while the opposition is telling us they will apply " first aid to the bleeding before treatment"
The way things are going in this Country.......

That is embarrassing. The anti graft agency knows where the real culprits are. With all the videos coming up they chose to be selective.
Glad to Bankers Warehouse and Union Bank for the education.
The Chairman has been "Acting" and so an "Actor" he has become.

Actually PMB wasn't too happy Kwankwaso left. After all the plea...now Kano is strategic and Kwankwaso and the Kwankwasiya movement being the political School he created with him as "Principal" should never be undermined.

Business / Re: Uzoma Dozie Gives Details Of Access And Diamond Banks "Merger" by Speedo17(m): 6:41pm On Dec 17, 2018
First lemme just assume it's a "Merger" just like he said and not an acquisition.

Secondly if 2019 Diamond Bank's name has changed to "Access Bank" then for Access Bank it's an Acquisition and not a Merger.

The Controlling rights and new Board appointments next year will reveal to us all what really happened.

Finally I am glad it's not a bankruptcy. Because by a mergers, business will continue.

Politics / Re: First Lady Calls For More Women Participation In Mining by Speedo17(m): 6:00am On Dec 08, 2018
Women should tap into available opportunities in the sector and not wait for major stakeholders to encourage them. The Solid Minerals sector is fraught with illegal mining activities with gemstone mining being exclusive to a few. However me think women can do well in gemstones marketing.

In is first instance the Nigerian Authorities (as usual) will not report this incidence until it will filter from a foreign or private media. Then they will accept, refute some or panel beat the details.
Next we'll start seeing some gory images of our gallant soldiers decapitated in battle filter out again by their comrades.
The system is deeply paralysed.
