Oya how much are we talking about?

The metal suit i can remember from batman beyond didn't look like pangolo so i got the giggles instead

Besides i was hoping batman's secret weapon against superman would be his ingenuity not some lazy metallic suit, DC movies are fond of neglecting the part of batman being a genius see dark knight rises where batman just rushed head first into a fight with bane and got his ass whooped mtchew!

Happy sunday jare

i just regret not placing bets on my predictions

Really is the script still out? How can i find it?

wow actually that was me being polite,But it's true na didn't you cringe when you saw the metallic batsuit? it looked like something he made out of soup cans(okay that's bashing but pardon me) and About glorious cameo part trust me you'll say worse when you see the movie

Seriously doubting that except they make the movie three hours long

hmmmn i will be waiting, we shall have this discussion again when the trailers out

Ok give it a shot

Weird enough i even got all that from the ad alone Dc is really hus hush
where did you see the sypnosis? Oga you be bad guy o

Bash ke? Whose bashing?
I'm only being prophetic here sorry i should have warned about spoilers though

I don't cameo literally i mean cameo like nick fury to age of ultron if you catch my drift

ahem! Whats this?

Eapps:
Ah ah 3/3 ke? Dark knight? Their villains maybe badass(except from the ninja guys) but the story, the batman, the bruce wayne ladies are actually 0.5/3 and don't even get me started on man of steel let's just say its shaky cam and lousy characters and chris nolan like flash scenes left me with a headache at the end

No need anticipating dawn of justice let me do you tha favour and tell you what will happen batman will put on his silly mecha suit and fight superman then win that round then superman will win the second round and when third round is about to start luthor will launch his super secret weapon which they will all fight and win then the world won't be mad at them anymore then cyborg,aquaman,wonder woman and others will be glorified cameos. End of story

Eapps:
and why is my sweet heart gambit not on Your list?

Eapps:
I think dawn of justice is Fine where it is on my list, DC is yet to really do anything impressive green lantern was a flop, dark knight trilogy only had one good movie out of three and man of steel is horribly polarizing what makes it worse is that they are competing with marvel instead of creating their own thing, really i wish them luck

naptu2:
I want everybody to see how the goalpost shifts. It's gone from "he didn't condemn" to "yet they chose him as mediator" (as if he has any say in who they choose as mediator and as if he accepted that role). Let's see how far away they move the goalpost by the time I'm done posting.

Most of the investors referred to in the article never invested in the Real Economy, they only invest in short term Financial Assets.

What Nigeria needs now are Real investors and not Speculative investors. I think PMB needs to constitute his Economic Team ASAP.

JP Morgan Government Bond Index – The bad, and the good

JP Morgan removed Nigeria from its Government Bond Index for Emerging Markets in response to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) taking unorthodox steps to shield Nigeria from the volatility triggered by a 60% drop in oil prices. To quote JP Morgan, “Investors who track the GBI-EM series continue to face challenges and uncertainty while transacting in the naira due to the lack of a fully functional two-way FX market and limited transparency… As a result, Nigeria will be removed.”

So here’s the bad news: delisting Nigeria from a major financial index for Emerging Markets sends a negative signal. In a doomsday scenario, a significant number of foreign investors will sell off some of their Nigerian assets. This is most likely amongst (but not limited to) investors who create portfolios that mirror the Index. If these investors are selling their Nigerian Government Bonds, economic theory predicts two things could happen: supply for bonds will rise, so their ‘price’ will drop, assuming demand stays the same (in reality the market could freeze up for a while or the CBN may need to intervene). These investors will also then sell the Naira received from selling off bonds to buy dollars and take those dollars out of Nigeria. Nigeria’s reserves could face yet another hit in the short term.

However, these are short term shocks – potentially a one-time hit. If investors sell off trillions of Naira worth of government bonds this will be damaging. There are some possible long-term implications. Nigerian policy makers, in their response to the oil price shocks have sent a clear signal that they will implement unorthodox policy measures to dampen exchange rate volatility even at a price of short-term liquidity crunches. This is bad news for those with short investment horizons, but for long-term investors it’s a mixed bag with some potential positives to go along with the negatives.

In the heady days of the mid-2000s as banks consolidated and companies rushed to raise capital on the stock market (and also in more recent times as Nigeria’s credentials as an emerging market grew) the Nigerian financial markets opened up to substantial inflows. Many liquidity controls were relaxed. There is some evidence to suggest foreign investors had pumped money into financial markets. Since the decline of oil prices, the Nigerian stock market has taken a beating. The All Share Index (an average measure of the value of shares) is down from 43,000 in July 2014 to 29,454 at the close of trading yesterday (a decline of almost 32%). Foreign investors whose investments come in form of buying financial instruments have clearly been reacting to oil prices and other issues (perhaps over-reacting). Nigeria is not currently a favourable investment destination for these types of investors.

But there are other types of investors. There are investors who are in it for the long haul. They invest, not by buying paper or ‘financial instruments’, but by bringing in equipment, technology and technical knowhow. They build factories and infrastructure and create new services for the Nigerian market. They train Nigerians to work in their new businesses. Their profits are not based on how quickly and easily they buy and sell financial instruments, but on the long-term health and growth of the Nigerian market. They need stability, rather than runaway inflation, much in the same way the man on the streets of Akure or Okigwe do. They also need a clear sense of direction in Nigeria’s policies. Nigeria getting delisted from one Index will not suddenly change their decisions, even as they might find the news interesting like any other person, and they might take a moment to reflect review their future plans.

We were initially perplexed by the policies of the CBN in stabilising the Naira. The CBN has attempted to control demand by creating an exclusion list of imports that can no longer by funded by dollars bought from it. The CBN placed a $300 limit on daily transactions and cash withdrawals. The CBN barred people from paying dollars held in cash into Nigerian foreign currency bank accounts. These actions are all very painful. But despite initial scepticism, they appear to have worked in killing speculation and ‘gambling’ on the Naira. Despite the fact that oil prices have been lower in the last couple of months, foreign reserves have risen, and the spread between the official and black market rates appear to have been moderated. Exports appear to be matching imports at the current exchange rate.

Are Nigerians better off by the unorthodox actions of the CBN? Only time will tell, but the Central Bank is currently making a strong case for itself that its policy intention is to moderate volatility in foreign exchange rates and inflation, even at the expense of short-term constraints of liquidity. This intent favours most of the Nigerian public, and long-term investors. The Central Bank is in uncharted territory by attempting policies that aren’t quite part of text book economics that suggests Central Banks act primarily on one thing: setting interest rates. There is a chance it won’t pay off, but so far if the relative stability of the Naira that’s been achieved is anything to go by, it is a good thing to try approaches that diverge from economics textbooks. Iceland did this in the face of the global financial crisis in 2008. That gambled paid off. Maybe Nigeria’s gamble will pay off as well.

Its about an ancient African tribe that existed over 60,000 years ago that had magic and powers, they were more than just Homo Sapiens, but were wiped out in a supernatural nuclear war living only a handful of them remaining who were stuck in the river niger for 60,000 years, they were released back onto the surface as a result of oil drilling in the southern part of Nigeria only to discover that the world they once knew changed and had to fit in it and keep their powers secret.

[color=#1980BC]i'm in support of vector too. I don't know what this M.I is saying.

We cannot be better at everything. He may be good in writing but vector is definitely a better freestyler.

Vector has "upped" his game by setting that record and has stirred up a little controversy in nigerian hip hop world. Rappers in Nigeria should be on their toes now.

Vector is coming for them.

Yup, it certainly fits with Civil War. I know the next season of MAoS will definitely cover the beginnings of this, thanks to the previous season's Inhumans arc. Plus, the fact that Hydra isn't truly dead and Ward has his own wahala...the possibilities! I wonder if Netflix's Jessica Jones will also cover this? Her being a former superhero and all, probably with SHIELD, since it appears they were in charge of all the superhero ish. This shared cinematic universe really helps in expending a story arc.

cao:
Hasn't anybody else watched it yet? I know my sister watched it today at a cinema in Lagos (she loved it BTW)...What are y'all waiting for?

ATMC:
Hiiiii!!! what's up with you?
