Op's illitracy isegendary. As a Nigerian, I have Tax Free Savings Account for my 2 adult children and two little ones outside Nigeria. Those accounts earn interests without taxes. If we Nigerians are calling for foreign investments, what stops us from investing in other climes? A jointly owned business or asset does not qualify as your sole asset. Infact incorporated trust account is not required to be declared by public office holders, especially if owned before assuming office. So Pandora or Hermes, Obi is a goal.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon doubled down on past skepticism of bitcoin in a TV interview with Axios.
Dimon is a longtime crypto critic who has trashed bitcoin as a "fraud" and a waste of time.
His critical remarks come in contrast to growing crypto interest by mainstream financial institutions - including JPMorgan.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon doubled down on past skepticism of bitcoin in a TV interview with Axios published on Monday, warning investors that the cryptocurrency has no underlying value.

"It's got no intrinsic value," said Dimon in response to a question on whether bitcoin was akin to fool's gold.

Asked about whether authorities should regulate crypto, Dimon said, "Regulators are going to regulate the hell out of it," adding that this was more a factual than a moral statement.

"If people are using it for tax avoidance and sex trafficking and ransomware, it's going to be regulated, whether you like it or not," he told Axios.

Dimon was also pressed on his $31 million compensation package, which in July was boosted with around $49 million in JPMorgan share options, according to the Financial Times.

"The board decides what I make," he said. "We have a free market in this country, which ... everyone should applaud."

Dimon is a longtime crypto critic who has trashed bitcoin as a "fraud" and a waste of time. In September, the JPMorgan boss said he wouldn't care if bitcoin's price shot up even further.

"That does not mean it can't go 10 times in price in the next five years," Dimon told the Times of India. "I remember when beanie babies were selling for $2,000 a pop. We all know about tulip bulbs."

Dimon's critical remarks come in contrast to growing crypto interest by mainstream financial institutions - including his own JPMorgan. In July, Insider reported that would be the first big bank to execute crypto trades requested by its wealth-management clients.

Fellow Nigerians Should We Accept Gandollar Graft Again (SWAGA)?

Are we not tired of thieves in Government?

Are we not tired of bad roads?

Are we not tired of darkness while the rest of the world is in the light?

Are we not tired of corrupt politicians amassing our commonwealth?

Should await another thief who is being promoted by SWAGA?

Beware of fake products being packaged as SWAGA, that was how they packaged the liability now in Aso Rock.

Nigerians, please "Shine Your Eyes in 2023"

Mark this post, some of the known "gladiators" will NOT succeed Buhari, unfortunately. We do not know who will succeed Buhari, but we know that the following will not:

i. Muslim candidate - No Muslim candidate will succeed Buhari. Anyone that tries to force it will know that there is a God in heaven and He does as He pleases. This I have seen and this is what it shall be. For "... this decree is by the watchers that the living may know that the MOST HIGH rules in the affairs of men ..."
ii. The next president will be a Southerner but will have a strong Northern affiliation. Meaning Southerners with very little northern interest is a noisemaker
iii. No one from a certain region in the South will succeed Buhari.

more details later ... as the Spirit guides

Boko Haram is 20 years old, killed over 45000 people, destroyed over 25 LGA, yet Buhari does not know their sponsors. Unfortunately, down South, he can tell their sponsor.
"IRAHUB" means bigot!

Borriwed N45Trillion and asking for debt forgiveness

neoclassical:
If you are in support of what is happening in the South East, then you are an evil man. Those who kill by the sword shall die by the sword. Wait for your turn.

You do not have sense, you do not understand politics, you are not even educated, yet you refuse to learn. All you know is post nonesense on NL and abuse people out to correct you, because you lack intellectual prowess to marshall your points. Do you know the process of declaring a state of emergency? Who in the Senate would be bold enough to vote Yes? Is it NW senators, that their region is ravaged by Bandits or NE that is in war for 15 years. Is it middlebelt that Fulani is killing everyday? Who is the senator that will vote for it when his own state that is in war has not been declared? Go and understand the process of declaring SOE before you come to NL to showcase your ignorance.

Oil is beoning useless just like coal

How will state of emergency stop people from sitting at home? The army will move from house to house arresting people for sitting at home? Do you even know that Nigeria Army is already overwhelmed? Do you know how many soldiers have died in NE? Do you know how long it takes to train a soldier? When a soldier dies, it takes atlrast 3 years to replace him. You recruit, train, equip the new man, give him two years to mature. Some of you type with your hands while your brains are in cocoon.

Barrister026:
My dad called me on the phone 2 days ago asking if I be coming home for the holiday, which is unlikely of him, because I just left home not quite long and he hardly call. (I school within our state, studying law)..... while we were on the call he mentioned about the Dr appointment. (We normally do routine check-up every 2 months )

Throwing the question to me if I even know my blood group. (I replied, no)
At FIRST I thought it's just a normal question.

Am 21yrs old, eldest among 3 siblings and I think my dad has something planned out, he's an Internet freak even more than I, he's actively online on twitter, facebook, and seeing all the uproars about DNA test here and there on Nairaland, I think he's going to ask me to come to the hospital with him disguising it as me Knowing my blood group (for a DNA test.)

The thing here is am scared, because all my life I have seen people saying never to trust a woman (I love my mom, but still am scared)

What if it's a DNA test (which I strongly believe it is)
What if it's turns out complicated
Would he still accept me? Or abandon me to myself.
So many thoughts running through my head, they are reasons for that.

He's black, I am fair (though my mum says I took his father complexion)


Pls help me...am thinking to stay back in school or go home This evening.
Am confused.

Do not be scared or confused, your father cannot disown you after 21 years. Though painful, no real man will disown a child he has called son or daughter after 20 years. In same vein no son will abandon the family he knew all along to join a new family s/he knows nothing about.

Elzakzaky knows what he is saying. All APC supporters are simply voting the Islamic System. Tell me any state with a Muslim Governor and House of Assembly that is not APC, an Islamic and shariah party? Oh Sokoto ... because Tambulwal is just a break-out of the lot. He became governir under APC, up North, the people do not believe in any policy. All they know is that APC is for the muslim. They all support sharia and all subtly support Islamic rule. You may argue as you care, but this is the PLAIN TRUTH!
You will be foolish not to know nor see this. We called it janjawids party and it still is. Talk of a party that holds the likes of Pantami, etc to high esteem.

Every Child Matters

Noise maker ... CAC will just delist the company using one default or another. It could be late filing of returns, tax fraud, anything. You as an individual cannot win the Frauderal Govt of Nigeria.

The next presudent is not on your list. Thus I have seen

Campaign after election. This loss go make some APC people mad.

Truth

All this grammar because you want to marry someone you do not love. Please, go and look for your wife and stop these nonesense choleric-ish. Even Hitler melts vefore the woman he married insipte of his irrational, brutal and harsh personality. Our own Buhari is known to be a puppep in the "oza room" with Aisha. You, ordinary you are here asking questions.

It has just started, all your 25million empowerment lies are catching up with you, lie Muhammad and Osinbajo. Wait until the unemployed people start going from house to house, you will realise that endsars protest was a dress rehearsal

FAKE NEWS ALERT. the nation that is Tinubu newspaper has no office nor correspondent in SE and SS This is mere conjecture to massage the ego of Yoruba. If APC fields a Yoruba candidate, PDP and Atiku will flush them. By the way how will APC deal with muslim-muslim ticket

Nigeriadondie:
We want Buhari kicked out

No, let him finish his term. His failure cannot be worse than where he has led Nigeria into. After that anyone call Buhari should never be allowed into office.

Even Paul Biya wil also join AU to condemn Guinean coup while has striffled democracy.
African leaders should learn to respect their country's constitution and not see themselves as 'god'. Museveni should respect the wishes of Guineans. His country has been under one dictator after anither. It is time for his people to stand up and chase him and his family out of power.

Odua1stson:
Typical igbo gibberish
Yoruba man will become your president and nothing you wailers from that part of nigeria can do to stop it, you all can leave nigeria and move to afghanistan if you don't like it. Wailing here on nairaland can't stop we yorubas

Typical Yoruba mentality. You are quick to forget that Awo lost severally because Igbos refused to support him. You are quick to forget that the SS are waiting to pay you in same coin you paid their son GEJ. We are waiting to see how SW alone will win the presidency in 2023. The stupid talk about Southern presidency is gibberish, if it is not micro-zoned to SE.

PDP has the right to zone the presidency to the North. The only thing that will save APC is to field an Igbo man. If APC feilds a Yoruba candidate, APC will be FLUSHED. This I have seen.

Why is Yoruba crying more than the igbos?

From frying pan to fire. Even Lagos name may soon be changed to Xuangos because of loans.

Felimax:
No sir, you were specific on South East producing the next president, hence my thought up there.

If it is not SE, ket the North continue. That is equity. If we are angling that North should resoect federal charater , we should also look to Sither charater. The die is cast ... SE or North, simple.

My dear southern governors, we are delighted by the fact that you are meeting irrespective of political parties. The decision on anti-open grazing is excellent. That added to the fact that several states have embraced this by enacting laws to back it is splendid. I felt very proud the day I got to know that the South could also meet like their northern counterpatrs.
Again, I would like to commend your position on VAT collection by states. Every Southerner that is not a slave of the north should suppprt this course. Perhaps this is the time to have a team of technocrats and legal luminaries to undertake a deeper study of the Nigeria constitution, which I learn was partially "dubbed" from the US document and amended a little. There might still be some provisions that have captured our much sought after restructuring that are latent, hence need to be pursued. I have also seen our keen interest in standing firm against the FG's several subtle plans on landgrabbing for the fulanii ethnic groups. We do not hate any tribe ir ethnic groups, infact every Nigerian should be allowed to do their business anywhere, but must ply their trade without endangering others or grabbing their ancestral land. This will not be acceptable, so thank you.
The last and more important note of mention is the push to ensure the south produces the next president, cime 2023. This again is very laudable, howbeit, distractive and a likely straw that could scatter this alliance. It would have been left for the two main political parties to sought out, however, since the governors have brought this to the fore, then, it obviously needs to be discussed.
The south as we know it is made up of three geopolitical regions/zones. In no particular order, SE, SS and SW. Each of these regions is rightfully entitled to the presidency if a Southerner must become predident. However, I percieve some deceits amongst the governors. It smarks of ambiguity for the Southern governors and by extension, the southerners to be raising their voices in suppot of southern ptesident on the alter of JUSTICE & EQUITY, but silent on the inequuty in the south. Now, how do we define equity? Equity is not the same as equality. Just a little digression. Take for example 3 individuals, a little person (dwarf), a person of normal hieght and a third person who is very tall (above average height). Assume that these three persons were required to pluck say mango from a tall tree. If you want to prove equality to these three, you can provide them with a pole of equal length. At that point, you provided them tools of equal size, but that does not prove equity. To prove equity, you need to provide additional support to the little person, so he can gain same height with the tall person. The same with the normal person. That way, you are not just providing equal tools, you are being equitable. That said, let us examine justice. Justice is an extension of being JUST. In fact, you cannot have justice without fairness. If you want to be just, you must be fair and be seen to be fair. This analysis meant just to open our heart to where we Southerners and indeed our governors may fail and this 'romance' or marriage become irreconciable and collapse.
If the Sotherners really mean that the president must come from the South, then Equity and Justice demands that the South should deliberately zone it to the South East.
Yes, you read it loud and clear. If we preach justice and equity to the North, but 'charity' does not reside in our homes, we are most miserably deceitful to ourselves. Why do I say this? The SW had eight years of presidency under OBJ. Again, by 2023, it would have had another eight years of vice-presidency. My SS brother, GEJ was president for 6 years, though, we Southerners helped to truncating his rule, a story for another day. So, my governors if we down south cannot practise equity and justice, do we have the moral rights or justification to preach it to the north? When the north say the South are preaching and making laws they cannot enforce, can you not see WHY? They know us to be deceitful and never honest. They know that our greed and selfish interests will make them to be ruling us as much as they wish. In fact, they decide who gets what in the south because, let me tell you the bare truth, we are not reliable. We pursue more of me, my people than 'we', our people.
My point is, stop all the noise about South MUST produce the president in 2023, except we are sure that equity will prevail. If yes, make it plain, that the SE has the turn. Let them look for their best. In 1999, after the MKO/IBB debacle, Nigeria sought a political solution, God bless Abdulsalam. The parties deliberately gave their tickets to SW, Olu Falaye and Obasanjo. I voted Falaye, though he lost. So, going into 2023, the South should do a proper soul searching, otherwuse we are on a wild goose chase to 2023. The north might take ut again for anither 8 years.
Here is therefore calling on my Gov Dr. Okowa, Gov Diri, Gov Wike, Gov, Ayade (though on the fringe), Gov Udom Emmanual and Gov Obaseki, to stop attebding this meeting if the Sothern governors cannot be bold enough to sound the knell to all that in the spirit of equity and justice, it is the turn of the South East geopolitical zone. This is my stand and you care to criticize me, call me any name, plrase do, but when you lie down on your bed tonite, let your conscience be free so that, that little truth in you would remind you that this is the TRUTH
I hereby "drop mi mic". God bless!

Morenikeji090:
No problem... Yourba & Hausa & Fulani will continue to control Nigeria you better wake up you vote south west or not. We can't lack coz we have. Power in this country that is the fact people like you are lacking from..... If southerns govs are fighting for southern unity who the fucking hell you not to understand why ... Yoruba won't lack either u vote us or not... Yoruba & Hausa & Fulani ruling continue then..... Yoruba is the backbone of northern and if we chose. To make unity with southerns I believe that should be a problem or fake thinking... Vote north then we are good lolz Yoruba got the power in this nation. And world.. We are recognized take it or leave it.. Peace...

Jaundice reasoning. It is s.pi..ty.

Any person who is earning income in Nigeria should be setting aside "ransom" money. It is the new normsl in Nigeria. If you are visiting Nigeria, please have at least N5m set aside to pay ransom. More reason I relocated my family
This is thr level Nigeria under Buhari has drterioriated to.

Irijosa777:
I wrote my final exam in July this year, few weeks later I was in Delta when my course adviser called me to come to school (Uniben), that it's a matter of urgency, I went to school, then I meet her in the HOD office. She told me I failed two courses in my final exam. She said the department is going to upgrade one to "" then wave the other one to me but by imprecation I will graduate as a 2.2 student.
When, I thought about it if I should accept it or come back again to write the two courses (one in 1st semester and the other in 2nd semester) to get 2.1. it was a hard decision for me to make but then I made the decision to accept the offer because of the following reason.
1. Uniben is becoming too stressful/ I'm already tired.
2. The financial expenses involved
3. Economics department in Uniben is not a joke.
4. The probability of me getting "A"s if rewrite the two courses is very low.
5. ASUU and strike
Based on the following reasons I accepted the offer, result came out I graduated as a 2.2 student but some how I started feeling sad. Though 2.2 is not the best but then I also graduate myself. I can't come and kill myself ( schooling in Nigeria university is like war).
If I may ask, did I took the wrong decision?
Opinions please!

With this your grammatical blunders, you are a third-class graduate. This is obviously not the UNIBEN we left behind, things are now so rotten, to the extent of having to upgrade failure to D and waiver for another.

The president should not just come from the South, for equity and justice, It is South East turn. If SW will not support South East, let North continue to rule.
